In the end, Libin went along with them, and the trio moved to another place.
They arrived at a room with a row of doors, similar to the one they were in earlier.
However, this one had a platform for resting, and Xu was laid on it, although she was sitting on it now.
Xu Zi, how do you feel?
The man called out to her, so Xu moved her gaze towards them, obviously annoyed.
Sobodys kicking up a fuss, huh. I woke up thanks to that.
Xu then let out a huge yawn.
She heard the ss earlier..
This place was quite far from the room where the courtesan had been, but she still heard the ruckus, it seed.
If you heard it then it saves us the trouble of explaining things.Yeah, just as you heard, we captured a very suspicious fellow.
The man strode to Xu, stopping right before her.
Xu Zi, do you still want to shoulder the bla of being the one who brought the disastrous tobacco and spread them in the Imperial Palace?
Yeah. That girl is my sister, so Im the one who instructed her to do all those things.
Xu didnt show any hesitation when she answered the mans query.
Miss Xu
Yui i had been observing the situation from behind the man, but she couldnt sense any trace of desperation to save soone else from Xus expression.
Perhaps, she was good at concealing her inner thoughts, but what bothered Yui i the most was the dark emotion swirling in Xus eyes.
Miss Attendant, do you have anything you wanna ask?
The man turned his eyes towards Yui i.
But before Yui i could utter a word, Xu already cut her off.
Its useless, I tell you. That girl doesnt know a single thing about .
Xu grimaced, but the man remained unmoved in his intention to let Yui i expressed her thoughts.
And so, Yui i didnt hesitate to talk.
Miss Xu, why were you so hungry back then, when we first t at that dumping site?
The words that spilled from Yui is mouth were totally unrelated to the case of poppy juice.
Huh?
Xu suspiciously remarked.
Xu Zi, answer her question.
The man ordered her.
.!
She had been wordlessly glaring at Yui i, but she realized that the man wouldnt withdraw his order, so she replied in disgust.
Thats because Im a useless fellow who can no longer play the lute. Is there any other reason aside from the obvious, huh?
Unfortunately, Yui i could no longer understand Xus reply after she heard what the captured courtesan said earlier.
Does the Jiaofang really think that youre a worthless musician, given that you have penned the songs that have reached the Emperors ears?
Yui i countered back.
Music composition wasnt a simple skill that anyone could acquire just by experience. It could be said that it was a matter of the individuals talent.
Lute players could be replaced by other players, but it would be different story for the composer.
Thus, it was unimaginable for the Jiaofang to casually toss away such a talented person.
Xu frowned when Yui i pointed it out.
She didnt expect their conversation to develop into this way.
If what Xu said is true, then the Jiaofang is the one at fault here, theyre abusing their authority. We have to capture them at once and interrogate them.
The man mumbled.
Ah, no
Xu wanted to interject when she heard the word capture, but it seed that she was having difficulty expressing what she wanted to say. Her mouth opened and closed like a goldfish, obviously flustered.
Ha
She sighed in resignation, then she started to talk.
