Not only did Ye Jun investigate secretly, he also set off immediately and went quietly to the Ministry of Punishment.
Now that we have new clues, we naturally need to interrogate him again.
What if that palace maid named Chu Yun knows something else
Although the Tao family is also pitiful, in order to seek revenge, she did not hesitate to do something to the eldest prince's child and murdered Concubine Wan's child. She has already lost her original intention.
Nowadays, it can be said that there must be something hateful about every pitiful person.
"Your servant pays his respects to Ming Shunyi. This place is dirty. Why did Shunyi come here in person?" The person in charge of the interrogation hurried over to pay his respects.
Ye Jun waved his hand, "Forget it, where is the palace maid named Chu Yun?"
"She was locked up in jail. The maid didn't suffer too much punishment. She confessed very quickly because of her family feud. We have already interrogated her and she told us everything she knew." The steward replied.
In their opinion, Tao Chuyun was also pitiful, so they showed some sympathy and did not torture her harshly.
"Bring her here, I have a few things to ask her." Ye Jun said.
The person in charge did not dare to delay and immediately ordered someone to bring Chu Yun out.
Normally, the interrogation of prisoners should be carried out in the interrogation room, but it was filled with torture instruments, and a group of prisoners had just been interrogated there, so the air was filled with the smell of blood. It was not convenient to ask Ye Jun to go in, so they arranged to meet in the rest area.
When Chu Yun was brought in, she saw a woman sitting upright on a wooden chair, looking straight at her.
"Untie her and give her a glass of water." Ye Jun waved his hand.
Of course there was no good food or water in prison, and Chu Yun's mouth was dry and cracked.
Huiyue personally brought her a cup of warm water. Chuyun hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and drank it.
Finally, he said in a hoarse voice, "Ming Shunyi wants to see me because he wants to know something."
Ye Jun lowered her eyes, "You are very smart. I won't beat around the bush with you. You are plotting against the queen, but someone is supporting you behind the scenes."
"No." Chu Yun said firmly.
In her heart, although Fang Xiuyuan was not a good person and she and Fang Xiuyuan were just getting what they wanted, Fang Xiuyuan did help her get revenge, so she would not betray Fang Xiuyuan.
Ye Jun was also expecting her to be so decisive.
But since it's an interrogation, there won't be any immediate results.
But she had to take a gamble, betting that Tao Chuyun still had a bit of conscience.
So he asked her in a low voice, "Do I have any grudge against you?"
"No." Chu Yun's eyes flickered slightly.
Ye Jun keenly caught her sudden movement and immediately continued to ask.
"Miss Wan, and the child in her belly, do they have any grudge against you?"
Chu Yun had already avoided her gaze, and after a pause he still answered, "No."
Ye Jun stood up and slowly approached her. "Those servants who knew nothing but were punished for serving in Wutong Palace, do they have any grudges against you?"
"No, nothing at all, but what about my parents and my brother? They have no grudge against the Xie family!" Chu Yun gritted his teeth, looked up suddenly, anger rising in his eyes.
"Yes, your family died because of the Xie family, but those innocent people who were implicated, including the child in Wan Meiren's belly, all of them had no grudges against you, but they lost their lives because of you. Is there any difference between what you did and what the Xie family did?"
Ye Jun raised his voice slightly and asked her back with scrutiny and pressure.
Seeing that the other person's eyes were already showing signs of weakening, he decided to strike while the iron was hot.
"If someone supports you, she is indeed a benefactor to you, but she has more ways to help you, instead of turning you into the person you hate the most and pushing you into the abyss step by step. In other words, what is the difference between the person who helps you and the Xie family who kills people for no reason?"
By this time, Ye Jun was certain that there must be someone behind Chu Yun.
That person might have taken advantage of Chu Yun. He first asked Chu Yun to give the safflower powder, and then he changed it to bone-dissolving powder, to ensure that he could overthrow the queen in one fell swoop and leave her without the ability to fight back.
After all, between miscarriage and the inability to have children again, the latter is obviously more serious and will ruin a woman's life.
Even if the emperor remembered their old friendship, the Wan family would never give in.
"Ming Shunyi, there is no need to ask any more questions. No one instructed me to do this, and I have no way of naming anyone. If I really make one up, wouldn't that mean that someone who has no grudge against me would be harmed again?"
Chu Yun turned his face away, looking completely unmoved.
In her heart, she had already implicated many people. Even if Fang Xiuyuan was not a good person, she had no grudge against her. She did not want to be responsible for another life.
But the more she kept her mouth shut, the more it became clear that there was something wrong.
Ye Jun lowered his eyes slightly, squatted down, reached out and gently straightened her face, forcing her to look into his eyes.
He spoke in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Do you think Fang Xiuyuan really wants to help you? She just wants to kill me and the queen. Is such a person worthy of you keeping your mouth shut for her?"
As he spoke, Ye Jun stared at Chu Yun's eyes, and indeed caught a hint of surprise and relaxation in her eyes.
But in an instant, Chu Yun closed his eyes tightly.
She realized that Ye Jun was trying to deceive her. If he already knew who it was and had evidence, why did he still come to interrogate her
"Aren't you going to say it yet?" Ye Jun withdrew her hand and frowned.
But the next second, blood suddenly flowed out from the corner of Chu Yun's mouth and his body trembled slightly.
The steward next to him rushed over and shouted, "Oh no, she bit her tongue and committed suicide!"
Several eunuchs immediately came forward and tried to pry Chu Yun's mouth open.
But it was too late. Chu Yun was determined to die, and she bit her so hard that when she opened her mouth, it was full of blood and she was no longer breathing.
Just at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.
The person who came in pushed the door open and it was Ning Chen.
"What can you ask?"
Ye Jun shook her head, "No, she bit her tongue and committed suicide, but I am sure that Chu Yun was also instructed by someone, but she never said who it was until she died."
This is true.
It's not just because Ning Chen believes Ye Jun, but there are servants from the Ministry of Punishment and people from the Secret Office in the room, and everyone can testify.
There must be something wrong with what I just said.
However, Chu Yun died at this time, which meant that the clue was cut off, which made Ye Jun somewhat irritated and frustrated.
Ning Chen sensed the emotions of the people around him and wanted to comfort them, but he caught a glimpse of dirt on Ye Jun's hands.
That was rubbed on Chu Yun's face.
"Okay, go wash your hands. You don't have to worry. Leave the rest to me. I will always be able to find out the person behind this." Ning Chen said gently.
Finally, he told Huiyue to help Ye Jun out first, while he stayed for a while and said something to the servants behind him.
These few days, he dealt with Xie and the Xie family, which involved a lot of private matters and made him angry for several days.
I have finally recovered today. I heard from the servants that Ye Jun has been investigating the case seriously these days.
Ning Chen remembered his promise to protect them and their son, but now the one who was working so hard to investigate the case was Ye Jun herself, and he felt guilty and distressed.
So next, he would investigate the matter himself.
However, Ye Jun will not stop just because Ning Chen joins. She has now confirmed that the person supporting Chu Yun behind the scenes is Yao Xiang.
It will be much easier if you have a direction.
