Chapter 142 Someone is adding fuel to the fire
"Xiao Yueyue! You really have no heart!" Leng Qingzhou said gritting his teeth.
Chu Qianyu was a little puzzled. She felt that she had not said anything excessive just now. "What's wrong? Didn't I tell the truth? If he gets suspicious, it will be troublesome."
Leng Qingzhou raised his head and said proudly: "Let him do whatever he wants. I won't leave today. Since I can get to know Chu Qianyu, I can naturally get to know you, Xiao Yueyue."
After saying that, he walked straight forward, not caring about Chu Qianyu's confused expression.
Isn't she trying to avoid trouble? What's wrong with this person today?
Forget it, forget it, if you don’t want to leave, then don’t leave.
Chu Qianyu shook her head helplessly and followed Leng Qingzhou's steps and said, "Speak less later. That person is very thoughtful. Don't let him see anything."
When Leng Qingzhou heard that Chu Qianyu did not force him to leave, he felt relieved and said happily, "I know, don't worry."
When the two arrived at the front hall, they saw Huai Ce had already brought the fifth elder over, and Mo Yinan was already waiting in the hall.
Mo Yinan was sitting on a chair at the moment. When he saw her come in, he stood up suddenly, but suddenly he saw Leng Qingzhou following behind him, and the smile on his face froze.
After Chu Qianyu came in, she nodded to Mo Yinan and said, "Please sit down first. I have something to ask the Fifth Elder."
"Huai Ce, bring the fifth elder here." After Chu Qianyu finished speaking, he walked out the door and headed towards the side room next door.
Leng Qingzhou glanced at Mo Yinan who was still in a daze, snorted lightly, and followed Chu Qianyu out.
After they arrived at the side room, Huai Ce closed the door. Chu Qianyu then looked at the Fifth Elder and said, "Now I'll give you two choices. Either answer my questions honestly, or let him cast a spell on you so you can answer my questions. You choose one."
The Fifth Elder was supported by Huai Ce, his legs were bent and he had no strength at all. He sighed and said dejectedly: "Ask."
He had underestimated the new clan leader before, thinking that she must not have many skills at such a young age. Today, he really saw it. Since she was able to climb up to the position of clan leader step by step, she must have her extraordinary qualities.
It turned out that I thought everything was too simple.
In this state, he didn't expect to survive. So he might as well tell what he knew. He had figured it out along the way. It seemed that he did all this by himself, and he found someone to establish a relationship with the Queen Mother. But he would never believe that there was no instigation from the Fourth Elder.
"How did you plan for my father and brother to go to Qingchuan Peak? Was the Fourth Elder involved?" Chu Qianyu asked.
"He doesn't seem to be involved, but without his guidance, I wouldn't have thought of that place. He said that many people who have been dealt with by the Situ family in recent years have gathered at Qingchuan Peak and are planning to assassinate the clan leader. He said that if I find a way to get the clan leader and others to go there, the clan leader will definitely be deeply involved."
"Besides, the clan leader is said to be very powerful, and your eldest brother and the others are also very powerful, so I thought it would be okay to lure them over. As long as they are seriously injured, I can find a way to cripple their martial arts in the future. But I never expected that group of people were so fierce, and there were so many of them, and they acted without any rules. So they were defeated, and... you also know what happened later."
Every time Chu Qianyu heard how they framed her family, her heart ached even more. Now, it was as if she were there in person. It was as if she could understand the despair of her father, brother, and mother.
The Fifth Elder seemed to be extremely regretful at this moment, and said with a sad expression: "I...I really didn't expect that I would take all their lives. If I had known this earlier, I would never have let them go to Qingchuan Peak."
Chu Qianyu sneered when she heard his false words: "Why didn't you go out to rescue them when you were there? Don't say such disgusting words now. You are not worthy of mentioning them again."
After that, he took out a silver needle and stabbed it towards his painful point, saying: "Now is not the time to let you die, but I will not let you feel good either."
After saying that, he took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it towards the fifth elder's tendons. In the blink of an eye, all his tendons were torn out.
Huai Ce held the man steadily, preventing him from falling to the ground.
The silver needles on the painful points just now made the pain he suffered when the tendons in his hands and feet were broken even more painful.
"Ah!" The fifth elder screamed miserably.
Chu Qianyu heard his shouting, and she felt extremely happy. She stared at him with bloodthirsty eyes. If she didn't have to hand the person over to Mo Yinan, she would have wanted to cut the five elders into pieces.
The Fifth Elder finally fainted from the pain. Chu Qianyu then walked out the door and entered the hall again. Mo Yinan was still standing in the same position waiting for her.
Seeing her come in, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
"I'll give him to you later. According to the information I found, he is in league with the Queen Mother. Your father's death and your poisoning are definitely related to the Queen Mother."
"But according to my guess, the emperor must have been behind this, because I just learned that he hooked up with the queen mother, and all of this was arranged by the fourth elder. So it is not ruled out that the emperor wanted the fifth elder to get acquainted with the queen mother and do something that he is not convenient to do."
"Perhaps the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor is not as loving as it seems. Everything needs to be confirmed again. I will know after meeting with the Fourth Elder tonight."
Chu Qianyu had just finished speaking when she saw a cup of tea being handed to her. Then she heard Mo Yinan say in a gentle voice, "Yue'er must be thirsty after talking so much. Drink some first."
After hearing this, she shuddered instantly and felt goose bumps all over her body.
Seeing that she didn't take it, Mo Yinan pushed the teacup towards her again.
Chu Qianyu took a step back, took it, took a sip, then walked to the table and put it down.
The moment she raised her hand to drink water, Mo Yinan seemed to see the bracelet he gave her, as if she was wearing it. He was immediately excited and wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start.
This scene happened to be seen by Leng Qingzhou who had just walked in. Mo Yinan glanced at him like Leng Qingzhou did when she was leaving, stepped forward to block her and said, "I have noted down everything you said. I will take the fifth elder back later and interrogate him again. Do you still want this person?"
"No, you can deal with it as you wish. But I don't want to see him again in the future." Chu Qianyu said.
"Okay." Mo Yinan agreed and continued, "There's news from the palace. The leader of Xuanyue Sect is really amazing. He entered and left the Queen Mother's bedroom so quietly without disturbing anyone."
"Besides, I have already made arrangements when I came here just now. I have spread the news of what happened in the palace and informed Miss Chu's father to go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for an explanation. And now there is no need to make a special trip to explain to Prince Yu."
Chu Qianyu nodded and said, "Well, the leader of Xuanyue Sect is already very skilled in martial arts, so this little thing is nothing to her. But after this incident, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will probably doubt the relationship between you and Xuanyue Sect. But after this incident, the Queen Mother will probably not cause trouble for you and Miss Chu for a while."
Leng Qingzhou stood at the door and watched the two people chatting so familiarly. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and didn't want to stay here any longer. Out of sight, out of mind.
So he shouted to Chu Qianyu, "Xiao Yueyue, I'm going back first. You go on with your work." Without waiting for Chu Qianyu to reply, he walked straight outside.
