C346 Torture
There were twice as many guards in the capital as usual, and the patrolling guards had changed from the original day three to the present day five.
It had been a few days, but they had yet to find the person. The days of Yu Longchen unlocking the restrictions were getting closer and closer.
"I don't understand. It's just that an official's daughter has gone missing. Calculating it carefully, she is also not a member of the Imperial Family. Is there a need for the Emperor to make such a big fuss?" Lingyue brought over the jube cake and asked Mu Ruqing.
"Because this person was not seen in the Imperial Palace. It has been so long since I found him and he has already slapped the Imperial Family's face. Now, the Emperor will become the laughingstock of other countries. " Mu Ruqing's voice became much lower and more disrespectful. Naturally, she could not let others hear, "If someone in the court makes an article and secretly uses some tricks, the Emperor's face was getting worse and worse. The Emperor was doing this to find the person and also to protect the Royal Family's face."
" Then who does the Princess think will do it? " Yu Longchen walked in from outside the door and snatched the pastry from Mu Ruqing's hands.
"Your Royal Highness is so smart that he doesn't know. What does a woman like me know?" Mu Ruqing rolled her eyes at him and took another piece from the table.
"Princess!"
Servant girl, who had just entered the room, was in a hurry. Before she even entered the room, she started to shout.
"What is it?!" Yu Longchen frowned and looked at her.
Servant girl knew that she was rude and said in an upright manner, "This servant greets the Royal Highness and the Princess."
"Yes." Mu Ruqing put down the pastries and clapped her hands.
"Miss Miao and Daoist Priest Yuan have cured the Gu poison and have almost recovered today. Let this servant report to the Princess."
Before servant girl could finish her words, Mu Ruqing stood up. She instructed servant girl, "Go and inform the kitchen to prepare some delicious food. They have been sick for so long, it is time to properly open the meat... Lingyue, quickly follow me to see them."
"Yes." servant girl quickly retreated.
Lingyue and Mu Ruqing left the room and no one cared about Yu Longchen.
Yu Longchen fiercely took a bite of the pastries and wiped the corner of his mouth. He threw the remaining pastries onto the table and strode forward with his hands behind his back.
When Mu Ruqing arrived, Miao Yingyu and Yuan Zhen were sunbathing in the courtyard.
Mu Ruqing did not disturb them and quietly walked in.
"It looks like the two of you are in good health!" Yu Longchen seemed to be happy. His voice was very loud and Mu Ruqing's ears were ringing. She frowned and looked at Yu Longchen.
"Greetings, King Chu." Miao Yingyu bowed.
Yuan Zhen did not move. Instead, he said with some admonishment, "It's already so late in the month, you can't walk around anymore."
"It's fine. It's good that you are all well." Mu Ruqing went up and pulled Miao Yingyu's hand. She was very happy. "Look at how thin you are. The flesh on your arm is gone. You have to make it up to your health."
"I want to go and see that person first." Miao Yingyu was originally happy, but when she thought that person was in the Imperial Residence, she could not calm down.
"Let's eat first. Whatever you want to ask, we have to eat first." Mu Ruqing pulled her down and said, "It is not too late to go after eating. It is not like he will run away."
"But..."
"I know you are anxious. What if you go there and become anxious and tired and faint? The Imperial Residence has the money to cook and the money to hire a doctor is not a single cent. Yes, I know you are anxious. What if you go there and become anxious and tired? What if you faint? The Imperial Residence has the money to cook and the money to hire a doctor is not a single cent. " Mu Ruqing did not back down.
"I am also hungry. Let's go eat first. We will torture him later." Yuan Zhen walked in front of the two of them and swaggered.
Yu Longchen's face darkened. Did they just ignore him like this? The anger in his heart was slowly rising when he heard Mu Ruqing speak, "Your Royal Highness, are you still not leaving? Didn't you want to always be by my side?"
The corner of Yu Longchen's mouth curled up, then he turned his head to look at other places and pretended to be angry. His footsteps did not stop.
When the two of them were sick, they could only eat light food every day. Now that the Gu poison had been cured, they saw a table full of dishes and started to gorge themselves.
After the meal, the first thing they did was to go to the dungeon of the prince's mansion.
Looking at the man in the dungeon, Yuan Zhen's pupils dilated. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Miao Yingyu, "What last words do you have!?"
"Hehehe..." The man only shook his head and sneered. Suddenly, he lifted a bloodshot eye and stared at her. "Do you know that you are the one who let me down first?"
Miao Yingyu moved her head and looked at Mu Ruqing questioningly. Then, she stared at the man and drew Changxu's sword. She pointed at the man and said, "If I kill you like this, wouldn't it be letting you off easy?"
"He..." Yuan Zhen was about to say something.
He was interrupted by Yu Longchen again. "There are all kinds of torture instruments in this dungeon. You can use them however you want."
"Alright." Miao Yingyu said gratefully.
"Can you let me say something? " Yuan Zhen shouted, and everyone looked at him.
"It seems like Elder Daoist doesn't want to kill me." The man stood up and looked at Yuan Zhen.
"The one who pushed Qing down from the cliff is him." Yuan Zhen pointed at the man with a fierce look.
Mu Ruqing suddenly felt a little sad. When she thought of that child, hatred swept over her. It was him. Her pupils turned blood red again.
Yu Longchen was extremely angry. He did not know where this anger came from, because he had forgotten about it.
"It seems that understanding you with one sword strike is indeed letting you off easy." Mu Ruqing clenched the cell door with both hands. She could hear the sound of his nails pulling wood.
"If you want to kill or cut, feel free to do so." The man did not seem to care and seemed to say that it was not his own life. "I was just afraid that you guys would make me unable to 'enjoy' well, so I went."
Yu Longchen took the sword from Miao Yingyu's hand and let Changxu open the door. He strode in and broke the tendons in the man's legs.
The man naturally could not stand up. He laid on the ground and laughed wantonly. "Is that all you have? Miao Yingyu, do you know..."
"Enough, I don't want to hear your nonsense!" Mu Ruqing shouted," Someone come! "
"Wang Fei." The hidden guards at the door came over.
"Every inch of skin on his body is cut open, don't let him die. Crush the chili and let him take a good bath!" Mu Ruqing did not say a word. Her heart was extremely comfortable. "Remember, don't let him die. Then let him have a taste of being cut into pieces! The flesh that was cut off from his body must be at least 1,000 yuan! Did you hear that? "
The hidden guard glanced at each other, then bent down and lowered his head." Yes. "
"Wait a moment." Miao Yingyu stood up." I have a medicine here that can wake people up. If he fainted during the bath, it would not be good. If he takes a few more pills, the pain will become clearer. Oh right, you have to be careful when you shave. Don't dirty yourself."
Other than Mu Ruqing and Miao Yingyu, the others were a little surprised. They never would have thought that the two women would have such thoughts. However, it sounded pretty good.
"Hahaha, do you think that I am afraid just because of this? Come on, come on. You will not live long either, especially you! Mu! Ru! Qing. "This was the man's most desperate cry. Lingyue and Changxu shivered.
"Is that so?" Mu Ruqing had a satisfied smile on her face.
Yu Longchen walked out of the cell and put his arm around Mu Ruqing's shoulder.
"Let's go." Mu Ruqing only gave the man an indifferent look.
The group of people left the Imperial Residence's dungeon.
One of the hidden guards walked into the cell, while the other went out to prepare.
