The Flower Of War

Chapter 15: The Solitary Interrogation

Now that they had been inside Yiu's room, her two brothers decided to stop by Yiu's room for 'just a' chat.

Yiu smiled wryly at the invitation from Prince Huang to stop by Yiu's room.

"So Ying, can you tell me about your heroic act this time? I can't wait to hear it" Prince Huang was very enthusiastic.

"Eghh, are you sure you won't be mad at me?" yiu said a little nervously.

"Depends" now Crown Prince Xiao Ce said.

It was certain that Yiu was very difficult even though he only swallowed his own saliva after hearing the answer from his brother.

Yiu inhaled a deep breath of air and exhaled a rough breath preparing her mentally to start telling stories.

The flashback

Yiu walked while hiding following the servant he had seen along with the robed man.

And the waiter apparently walked towards the kitchen and went into the kitchen room specifically to make drinks of the royal members.

Chi chi was also helping prepare the dishes for the invited guests.

Yiu pretended to check the work of the servants in the palace kitchen and approached Chi Chi Chi, which was not far from where he was standing.

Yiu called her slowly behind Chi Chi as if whispering made the empress flinch in shock and then turned to face Yiu.

"Follow me for a moment, help me find a gift for the Emperor that I have prepared in the room" Yiu deliberately spoke in a normal voice so that the servants around them were not suspicious of the arrival of the prince.

"Good prince" Chi Chi Chi said, bowing briefly and following Yiu who had walked out of the kitchen from behind.

As they reached the dark, quiet passageway near the kitchen of Yiu's palace stopped and began to observe the surroundings before he spoke.

Chi chi who saw the strange behavior of the princess could only ask inwardly without daring to ask.

"I have a plan for you and for me, this kingdom is now in danger and we must act immediately to save the lives of the members of Zhang's kingdom and we must do this ..." Yiu explained his plan to Chi chi chi who then nodded briefly.

Yiu and Chi Chi are currently in the kitchen section four to make the royal family drink.

This royal kitchen is very spacious maybe the area of a ball field but is square in shape and divided into 4 parts that are blocked by sturdy walls but connected directly with the doors on the separation wall to each other.

And each kitchen room at least fit for 30 servants working in it.

The first part in the back east corner is a place to cook food for servants, soldiers or slaves in this kingdom and this place is the narrowest among other rooms.

The second part is right next to the first room but this place is wider than the first room, a place to cook food for state officials or people who have positions in the palace.

The third part is to the west of the kitchen entrance, the place is very spacious neat clean and complete foodstuffs. This room is for preparing food and drinks for guests of the palace and high officials of the kingdom.

The fourth part is as spacious and complete as the third room but for this room looks more beautiful with ornaments that decorate every corner of the room. The room to prepare food for the members of the work and this place is what Yiu now entered.

The two of them also helped the servants who were preparing green tea for the royal family on the grounds that Crown Prince Xiao Ce had told them to help with Prince Wu Tian's approval.

Yiu is now disguised as a servant, he borrowed a change of clothes from his loyal servant to facilitate him in carrying out the mission.

Yiu who helped stir the green tea in the fourth room quietly watched the waiter he was sitting quite far from his place, the waiter was in the corner of the room.

The waiter was holding a large container of white sugar and pounding it slowly to become refined sugar, his manic continued to look carefully to the right and left making sure no one saw his suspicious behavior.

Before long a soldier came to the servant and bowed to align his head with the butler.

Yiu continued to watch their movements from afar while stirring up the large container filled with green tea.

The soldier's right hand held a black bag full enough and handed it to the servant.

Yiu guessed that it was an additional poison that would be mixed into the sugar so that the effect was quick to react, especially Yiu could see the soldier's mouth gesture called the word poison and sugar.

After the soldier's departure, the, Yiu gave an eye gesture with Chi Chi and the elder brother soldier in front of the kitchen entrance pretending to be the palace kitchen doorkeeper of course they were all disguised to do the task that Yiu gave.

There was no way Yiu would act alone in the big case he was facing, while he still has people in his belief he should be able to take advantage of the opportunity for maximum results and that is the principle he is accustomed to working with his team in his previous life.

Yiu was still stirring the green tea that was getting warm on the firewood, though, but the tip of the manic is still watching the waiter who started mixing the contents of the bag into refined sugar and stirring it then closed the 2 containers filled with toxic sugar with a red cloth and was about to lift the two containers that's.

The golden opportunity for Yiu to take the poisonous sugar was not wasted.

He asked the other waiter who was nearby to keep the fire burning to replace him and said that he would help the waiter who was in the corner of the kitchen.

Yiu walked quickly towards the waiter who was in trouble carrying the poisonous sugar.

"Let me help you lift it" Yiu said sweetly to the waiter who nodded briefly and nodded and nodded and nodded and walked beside the waiter.

When they arrived at the place of serving drinks with curtains, he placed a jug containing green tea the waiter told him to put the container next to the jug.

"Thank you for your help now you can continue your work and for this part let me take care of it" said the waiter sweetly but there was anxiety in his tone.

Yiu did not leave immediately, he remained the barada in his upright position and looked at the servant's face sharply.

This room was empty there were only the two of them so Yiu did not have to fear being discovered. Yiu gave a sharp grin towards the servant which managed to make him shudder in horror.

"What's your motive behind all this?" yiu said firmly as if he was interrogating a suspect.

The servant gasped in shock at Yiu's change in face.

"You've been caught red-handed and I know all your rotten plans. Now tell me who told you to" said Yiu, drawing closer to the servant who was slowly retreating away from Yiu.

"What do you mean I don't understand what you mean" said the waiter stuttering to refute Yiu's question.

"Don't pretend you don't understand what I mean, little snake, tell me who told you to mix powdered poison into this refined sugar?" Yiu is getting on the black.

Yiu clasped both shoulders of the servant firmly so as not to rebel even more violently.

"Ac ... I ... Ak ... I'm forced!" after saying that sentence the servant who was gripped by Yiu sobbed slowly while bowing his head.

"Didn't you recognize me? I'm Prince Zhou Li a good friend of the prince you're about to accuse of this, don't you know who I am! I didn't hesitate to finish you and your family off before you hurt my best friend you understand that!" yiu said shaking the body of the servant who turned out to be a little girl about 15 years old who was increasingly crying in fear.

"Please don't punish me, Prince. I admit to being wrong Prince, I just need money for the treatment of my mother who is now very sick at home with my sister" the little waiter cried as he hiccupped.

Yiu could tell which fake cries were full of lies and which ones were full of honesty.

Yiu often interrogated someone while he was still the commander of the army and he was given a way to know the movements of someone lying or not through the movements of the eyes and limbs.

"Then who told you to do all this" Yiu's voice softened, he knew this girl was still very innocent and had to be faced with a difficult situation.

"Mentries ... Men ... Minister Mu Tong" the servant was still frightened.

"What is the purpose of doing all this? Was the poisonous sugar just for the royal family or did he want to poison the entire palace?" Yiu said slowly trying to introgate this servant without coercion.

"No, he just said if I just had to mix this finely sweetened poison powder for the royal members only"

As he was about to embrace the servant, it sounded that someone opened the curtains of the room making the two shocked.

"Prince, I've brought you the honey you asked from your room" it turns out that it was Chichi who was asked by Yiu to bring him the supply honey that he usually made as a sugar substitute when he drank tea.

"Put the honey here and mix it into the tea container, then, secure this sugar as soon as possible because soon the servants will be here to take this green tea and the sugar will I make evidence to the king by showing the fingerprints that are in the place. Oh yes please tell our guards to look after and interrogate anyone involved I'll change my clothes for a while" said Yiu who was still clutching the shoulder of the servant who did not understand the meaning of the words from Yiu and was taken slowly by Chichi who already understood the princess's plan.

Yiu is not stupid even though he also holds the container but he wears a thin glove made of goat intestines so that his fingerprints do not stick in the container.

Yiu hated women's clothes so much because it was too complicated and made her unable to move so she decided to change her clothes into princely clothes and walked towards the palace garden which already sounded a commotion.

Flashback.

"I didn't expect you to be that smart as Ying, I misjudged about you apparently" Prince Huang said proudly.

"I am not satisfied with your story, there are still many things that I will dig out from your story so don't try to lie to me" Crown Prince Xiao Ce said flatly accompanied by a cold face.
