Chapter 1727 Directly Captured
Zhou Shiyue can lie without even blinking.
"The Crown Prince appears to be perfectly fine on the surface, but he has actually been frightened. What, do you think what I say myself is more accurate than what you find out from outsiders?"
Yang quickly said she dared not.
She felt very bitter inside, and now she finally panicked.
The meaning behind the Prince of Jin's words doesn't seem to suggest that something happened between Yu Tong and the Crown Prince.
"But my daughter is truly a well-behaved and sensible child, Your Highness. How did she frighten the Crown Prince?"
Zhou Shiyue said, "She was suspected of being possessed by an evil spirit and was somewhat out of control, which frightened the Crown Prince."
"Possessed by an evil spirit?!" Madam Yang exclaimed in shock.
Zhou Shiyue and Yin Yunting had been paying close attention to her reaction, and now it seemed that Yang's reaction was not feigned.
She looked genuinely shocked.
In other words, it is entirely possible that Yang was unaware of this matter.
But Duan Fan's expression was a bit strange.
People with poor eyesight might not be able to see it, but Zhou Shiyue and Yin Yunting are both people with sharp eyes, especially Zhou Shiyue, who can see through the subtle expressions of many people.
Duan Fan was also somewhat surprised, but this surprise was like a chill in his heart. He then began to speculate on the extent of Yao Yutong's "possession" and whether she had succeeded or failed.
Even if they manage to scare the Crown Prince after the deed is done, they will still treat Yao Yutong with great respect.
He wasn't actually that shocked by the idea of being "possessed by evil spirits."
He knew that Yao Yutong would get into this situation.
"Your Highness, what evil spirit has possessed the Yao family's daughter? How could she suddenly be possessed?"
Duan Fan composed himself again, wanting to ask for more details.
What's wrong with the Prince of Jin?
What exactly happened? Can't we just explain it more clearly? Why keep letting them guess? What are we thinking? Don't we want to admit it?
Did Yao Yutong really have intimate contact with the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince didn't want to take her as a concubine?
Even if we don't take Yao Yutong as a concubine now, it doesn't matter. As long as we do what we're supposed to do, Yao Yutong will become pregnant with the Crown Prince's child. Once her belly is big, there will be plenty of opportunities to talk to the Crown Prince about this matter.
At that time, would it be possible for the Crown Prince to say that he didn't even want any bloodline offspring?
Therefore, we still need to see Yao Yutong first and confirm whether she and the Crown Prince have gotten together.
But just as Duan Fan was still thinking of a plan, Zhou Shiyue's cold voice rang out.
"Someone is coming."
Qinglin and Qingfeng immediately strode forward.
"Take Duan Fan down," Zhou Shiyue said.
Upon receiving this order, Duan Fan's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Zhou Shiyue in disbelief.
"Your Highness! What do you mean by this?!" Duan Fan shouted in protest.
He really couldn't figure out what the Prince of Jin was thinking!
Why arrest him for no reason? He only asked a few questions and didn't do anything serious!
Why arrest him?
However, Zhou Shiyue did not answer him at all. Qinglin and Qingfeng also regarded his order as the only one that needed to be executed quickly. They quickly came over and tied Duan Fan's arms behind his back, one holding one side of him.
Duan Fan, who had been maintaining the air of a top scholar, suddenly looked miserable.
Yang was so frightened that she almost couldn't kneel down.
"Your Highness, I just want to see my daughter as soon as possible. Duan Fan really came with me and had no ill intentions or other motives. Please let him go this time."
"Take him away and lock him up." Zhou Shiyue waved his hand.
Qinglin and Qingfeng forcefully dragged Duan Fan out.
"Your Highness, I am an official appointed by the imperial court. You cannot treat me like this!"
Duan Fan was taken outside the hall, but his screams and shouts still reached them.
Zhou Shiyue then summoned Qingbao.
"Take her to meet that Yao family girl."
"Yes."
Yang was both surprised and delighted that Zhou Shiyue was willing to let her see her daughter after arresting Duan Fan.
However, when she met Yao Yutong, she was only surprised, not happy.
On the way here, Qingbao had already told her that Yao Yutong wasn't doing well.
Madam Yang thought Yao Yutong had suffered a shock or was too scared after being detained in the Prince's mansion for a day. However, when she saw Yao Yutong, she found that she had lost a lot of weight in just one day!
Moreover, Yao Yutong is still in a coma.
She was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday. Madam Yang knew about these clothes, as they had been carefully chosen for the wedding banquet.
The clothes that fit perfectly back then are now noticeably looser.
Moreover, her face looked pale and shriveled.
"How...how is this possible? What on earth happened?"
When Yang saw her daughter in this state, tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to rush over and hug her daughter, but she was stopped.
Dr. Fu is also here.
Dr. Fu was quite surprised to see how much Yao Yutong had changed when he came over.
When he left yesterday, Yao Yutong was still asleep, but there was no such astonishing change in her.
Who can lose weight overnight?
Shave the meat.
Yin Yunting also came over to see, and Sheng San Niangzi was wandering around again. She didn't show herself, but floated to Yin Yunting's side and said, "Young Master Yin, I heard some old ghosts talk about this matter in the Netherworld."
"Oh?"
"They've told me some strange stories, and this is one of them. They say that something is growing inside your body, which makes you gain weight. Once that thing is removed, your body will shrink in a short time. People who don't know the story might think you've lost a lot of weight or that you've been possessed by some evil spirit."
Oh, wait, can this be considered possession? After all, having something residing inside the body isn't exactly normal.
When Yin Yunting heard her say that, he remembered it too.
That's very likely.
Because so much ghostly energy was released by the grape ghost yesterday, Yao Yutong's body has returned to its previous state, right? She'll be even thinner than before, because the grape ghost absorbed a lot of her nutrients and energy.
"She must have been this thin before, right?" Yin Yunting asked Madam Yang. "Or rather, a little better than now, but thinner than before she lost so much weight."
Yang was about to burst into tears, but he stopped her and she desperately held back her sobs.
She was really scared. She didn't know what had happened to Yutong, but it was clearly not what they had guessed before—that she had become involved with the Crown Prince.
Hearing Yin Yunting ask this, she thought about it carefully, "Really? My daughter was very slender three years ago, but she has gradually gained some weight in the past three years and her figure has become a little bigger."
Isn't this because they've grown up and are eating more?
Is it normal to grow a whole size in three years?
"So she's back to the figure she had three years ago, and she's even thinner because she's possessed by an evil spirit," Yin Yunting said.
"How could my daughter be possessed by an evil spirit? What does it mean to recover?" Madam Yang asked, bewildered.
