Chapter 117 The Regent Has a Beautiful Girl in His Golden House (24)
Just when Tang Cuo thought Mu Hanqing was going to make the next move, he suddenly let go of his hand, stood up, and left the room directly.
Tangcuo opened his eyes and looked at him in confusion.
Is there something wrong with this person?
[Host, are we still leaving this plane?]
"Wait a minute and see. It seems like we can save him. Xiaoye, please be ready to run away with me at any time..." Tang Cuo pursed his lips. Thinking of the piercing pain just now, he couldn't help but shrink his body.
[Don't worry, host. I'm ready to run away at any time.] Looking at the whip marks on his body, Xiao Ye's voice seemed to be somewhat self-blaming.
In the Criminal Palace of Prince Rong’s Mansion.
Hearing the sound of footsteps on the ground gradually approaching, the expressions of several people tied up in the dark room couldn't help but tense up.
A moment later, Rong Cuo opened the cell door and Mu Hanqing walked in. The guards behind him seized the opportunity and quickly placed the rattan chair behind him.
Mu Hanqing sat leaning back in a rattan chair with his legs crossed, looking elegant and noble. He put his hands together and rubbed his joints casually, looking at the few people with deep eyes.
"Your Highness, we...we are the Left Prime Minister's men...you can't..." Ling Si was about to say something when he was hit on the abdomen with a stick by the guard beside him.
The force was so great that he spit out blood. Mu Hanqing's men were not the same as theirs. They were all real military generals.
Each of them has a tall and straight figure and is as strong as an ox. Just looking at them makes people tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing Ling Si's head hanging down, Mu Hanqing smiled. "You're already in trouble now? It seems that Xiao Chengyu didn't train you much. You are his people. Even if he comes in person today, do you think you can walk out alive?"
His tone was gentle, but it was chilling. Mu Hanqing raised his hand and said, "Wake him up and continue."
The guard listened to Mu Hanqing's instructions, silently lit a candle for the few people in his heart, then grabbed the cold water from the wooden bucket beside him and poured it all on him.
The cold water choked Ling Si's nose and he couldn't stop coughing. His face was pale and the pain just now seemed not to have completely faded away. He looked at the guards who were gradually walking towards him.
His lips kept trembling, "Prince, Prince, I know I was wrong, can you spare my life? This is what the Left Prime Minister asked us to do, we don't want to do it..."
"Did he beg like this when you beat him? You didn't stop either. Nothing is equal in the world. You beat him, and it's only natural for me to seek justice for him." Mu Hanqing chuckled.
Before Ling Si could say anything else, the guard picked up the wooden stick beside him and hit him again and again.
"Avoid hitting their vital points, don't let them die so easily." Mu Hanqing took a breath, then pointed at the people beside him, "I remember that we recently introduced a new insect poisoning technique, let's try it on them."
"Yes, Your Highness." As soon as he finished speaking, Rongcuo turned around and took out a sandalwood box from the corner. On the surface of the box was a totem unique to the Western Regions painted with red cinnabar.
There were two fixed gates that could be pulled in front of the wooden box. Rongcuo walked forward, fixed Ling San's hands in the box through the fixed gates, and then stepped back to his original position.
Several people focused their eyes on Ling San's face. After a moment, a wailing sound was heard and the man's frightened expression gradually became cracked. He shook the sandalwood box in his hand vigorously.
He tried to get it out of his hands, but the intense pain spread from his fingertips to the back of his hands. Then the poisonous insect began to suck his flesh and blood, and crawled into his body through the bite on his palm.
"You guys shut his mouth, he's disturbing the prince." Rongcuo tore off the rag hanging on the cell door and threw it to the guard closest to him.
The guard took the rag and stuffed it into Ling San's mouth. His eyes gradually rolled up and he twisted his body in pain until he completely stopped moving...
Rong Cuo took a step forward and stood beside Mu Hanqing, saying calmly, "Your Highness, half an incense stick of time."
"This thing from the Western Regions seems to be quite effective." Mu Hanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, then slowly stood up, "Rongcuo, after you finish them, pick one to give to Zuo Xiang as a gift, and throw the others into the back mountain to feed the wolves."
After saying that, he left the dark palace.
Tang Cuo was lying on the bed bored. Just when he was about to get up and lean against the head of the bed, he heard a sound at the door.
"Miss Guan, you can't go in..." The guard stretched out his hand to stop the woman in front of him who was dressed in fancy clothes.
"I can't go in? Do you know who I am? Be careful, I will tell Brother Han Qing and let him break your legs." Guan Shang looked at him domineeringly.
"I'm sorry, Miss Guan, the prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter except him and Doctor Su. If it is really not possible, you should go to the prince and ask for an order, otherwise we really dare not let you in." The guard did not give in.
"You...what if I must go in today? He is just a brothel owner, and it is his blessing for me to come and see him." Guan Shang waved his hand, then took a step forward, "Or do you want to do something to me?"
"My subordinates dare not."
"If you don't dare, just get out of my way." Guan Shang pretended to rush in.
"Who should get out of the way?" Mu Hanqing had stepped into the yard at some point. His eyes were gloomy and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Han...Brother Han Qing, you are here..." Guan Shang seemed not to have expected him to come back, and his voice suddenly weakened.
"What? I can't come?" Mu Hanqing held a white handkerchief in his hand and wiped the blood from his fingertips casually. He said in a cold tone, "Miss Guan, I remember I said that I prefer people who know what's best for them."
Hearing the chill in his tone, Guan Shang's legs and feet softened unconsciously, "Brother Han Qing, it's not like that. I just wanted to come and see Mr. Tang's injury. Don't misunderstand me."
"Heh." Mu Hanqing suddenly chuckled, and the cold expression on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a bright smile. He walked forward and hooked her chin with his fingers.
"A Shang, you are my future wife. There is no need for you to condescend to see someone of such status." His face was gentle, which made Guan Shang's heart beat a little.
"Brother Han Qing..." Her cheeks flushed, and her tone unconsciously became coquettish, "I'm just afraid. He's so handsome, I'm worried that you'll fall in love with someone else..."
"Be good, go back and take good care of yourself. I will visit you another day. You don't have to set foot here normally. It's not in keeping with your status."
"Okay, I understand. Brother Han Qing, don't be angry..." Guan Shang smiled at him.
"You guys, send Miss Guan Shang back to the villa and give her the embroidered pearl hairpins that the emperor rewarded her with." Mu Hanqing waved his hand, and the guards beside him immediately stepped forward and stood respectfully beside Guan Shang.
"I'm leaving then. Brother Hanqing, remember to come and see me." Guan Shang looked at him reluctantly, then left the yard, looking back every few steps.
