Chapter 271 Gong Yuanzheng 58
Chapter 271 Gong Yuanzheng 58
I don't know if the younger brother really thinks Wufeng is a threat, or if he just wants to find an excuse to let her out for a stroll.
Or perhaps, did the younger brother truly not know Wu Feng's exact strength?
So weak, even if they didn't want to expose the imperial court, simply sending one of Ling Jiu or Ling Shiwu would be enough to wipe out Wufeng.
They're truly siblings; they can tell lies with such straight faces.
Most importantly, she actually believed it. Her younger brother had been emperor for several years and had learned a lot of evil tricks in the court, and he had used all his tricks on her.
Sure enough, she still needs to be beaten up. She even dared to scheme against her own sister, which lowers her standards!
If it weren't for getting a prince consort, Gao would have beaten Xuanyuan Chen so badly that he couldn't attend court for a month!
At the same time, in the imperial palace in Beijing.
Xuanyuan Chen was reviewing the memorials when he suddenly sneezed several times.
"Ah owe, ah owe, ah owe."
"Your Majesty, this servant will go and summon the imperial physician for you."
The personal eunuch was filled with panic. If His Majesty fell ill, it would be terrible; it would be his dereliction of duty.
“Come back, no need.” Xuan Yuan Chen took out a handkerchief and wiped his face. “My elder sister probably found out and is scolding me.”
Personal eunuch: "..."
Why bother? Just extend His Highness's vacation time and let him arrange his own tours, then this wouldn't have happened.
I don't know what's holding His Highness back; he hasn't been able to resolve this matter for so long, which is completely unlike his usual style.
Xuanyuan Chen: "Do you think it'll be successful if I run away after my elder sister returns?"
He was worried that if his elder sister stayed in the military camp for too long, she would become more and more like a man. Just then, Wu Feng started to make a move, and an idea flashed through his mind.
The imperial sister has admired the handsome men of the capital for so many years, but she hasn't made a move; she must have gotten tired of them.
I've heard that all the men in the palace are very handsome. I'd like my elder sister to open her eyes and find one who catches her eye.
For someone of the Imperial Sister's social standing, marriage was out of the question. They would be essentially marrying into the Imperial Sister's family, and it didn't matter whether the man was an official or a commoner, as long as the Imperial Sister was happy.
He's already a father of several children, but his elder sister has no children at all. He's really worried!
If you speak to him properly, his elder sister will definitely give him a beating, and then he'll go about his business and won't go on the tour.
Wu Feng's appearance this time was so opportune. He immediately found an excuse to send the princess away. Even if she couldn't bring back the prince consort, it would be good for her to relax and suppress the resentment she had in the military camp, so she wouldn't be so full of bloodlust.
I hope my elder sister can understand his good intentions; he has had it so tough.
Personal eunuch: "..."
Don't ask him, he's just a eunuch!
"This servant believes that His Highness would not be so ruthless as to harm His Majesty."
It means that there's no way you can escape by running away.
Xuan Yuan Chen glanced at him. Did he need to waste his breath?
Sigh, I'll just keep burying myself in reviewing the memorials. Things will work themselves out. He's still out there and hasn't come back yet, so there's no rush.
...
Feeling so blatantly humiliated, Zi Yi coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Now that her body is in this state, even if she begs for mercy, she is a cripple.
Qing Yue's eyes were dark: "Tell me where Wu Feng is hiding, and I'll let you die a little easier. Otherwise, I'll turn you into a human pig."
Although their abilities are frighteningly weak, their hiding skills are still quite good.
The main reason was that she was misled by her younger brother and trusted him. In addition, she was in a hurry and did not send anyone to investigate too much, for fear of attracting too much attention from people in the martial arts world.
Seeing that Zi Yi remained silent, Qing Yue coldly explained to her what a human pig was.
"Making a human pig is not easy. First, you have to chop off the person's hands and feet, then gouge out the eyes, seal the ears with copper, then force-feed them some kind of medicine to destroy the vocal cords, cut off the tongue, remove the nose, and leave no hair on the head."
"To stop the hair from growing back, a patient person will pluck it out one by one, but I happen to be impatient and will just peel off your entire scalp along with it."
"Of course, after doing all this, you'll still be alive and conscious. After all, you can pretend to be deaf and dumb even if you have these things. I'm just fulfilling your loyalty. What do you say?"
She had never used these; they were written in a forbidden book she found when she was a child. She was so scared by these words that she dared not sleep that night.
As soon as I close my eyes, my mind starts to imagine this scene, and I feel horrified. How could such a punishment exist?
Zi Yi is no longer afraid of death. In order to extract useful information, she could only repeat the words that had frightened her when she was a child.
It all depends on whether Zi Yi is truly indifferent.
Qingyue added, "You can also try to see if you can act faster or if I can. Once I stop you, you won't have two choices left."
Upon hearing the word "start," Zi Yi's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
How can a person survive after being transformed like this? Isn't this some kind of Gu poison technique?
She didn't want that. Her limbs were already useless, and she wanted her body to remain intact, not to become a horrific corpse with only her upper body and head remaining.
"I... said..."
Zi Yi spoke slowly, her whole body ached, her face ached, and even her jaw ached.
She described Wufeng's exact location, word by word.
Qingyue noted down the approximate location. It wasn't far from the palace gate, only a few mountains away. It was surprisingly close.
Purple Robe: "I...said...can...you...let...me...die...quickly...?"
She just wants to die now, not be turned into a human pig that's neither human nor ghost.
Qingyue smiled and said, "I mean what I say, but all of this will only happen after I've extracted all the information from you, otherwise how will I know if you're lying to me?"
"No, I'm not lying." Zi Yi just wanted to die immediately.
She feared that the longer she delayed, the greater the chance of being turned into a human pig.
"I said I'd wait until I've verified that what you're saying isn't a lie before I speak," Qingyue said, her smile growing even deeper.
Zi Yi swallowed hard and nodded hurriedly, "You're right, I'll wait."
Good girl, Qingyue was very satisfied. If she were to emphasize it again, she wouldn't have much patience.
Especially for the enemy, her only patience was to squeeze every last drop of value out of them.
Qingyue: "Someone, go and inform the people at the palace gate to take her back and lock her up. Ask her if she has any useful information."
Now that there are more locations, I just want to resolve this quickly; I'll leave the rest of the information to Gongmen.
I imagine Ziyi would be very willing to talk about it.
The palace can't just be responsible for internal strife and let her handle everything; that would make the palace utterly useless.
Upon hearing the voice, one of the guards replied, "Yes."
He ran quickly to the palace gate, where Elder Hua arrived with Jin Fan.
When Jin Fan saw Zi Yi's appearance, his eyes widened. She was also a person without a sharp edge.
Over the years, Gong Ziyu has been tricked out of a lot of information.
The more Jin Fan thought about it, the colder he felt.
"Pay attention to her blood. She's attacking with blood, so there must be something wrong with it," Qingyue warned.
"Yes."
