Chapter 17: I Still Can't Let It Go

The stinking torture chamber was filled with the smell of blood, and the rusty iron chains were corroded by the blood of many undead.

He was doomed to die in this filthy place, his limbs hanging in the air, chained as if to break his bones, and he stared up blankly, silent, his lips chapped.

Not far away, he was dressed in dark plain clothes, incense was smoked on the table to drive away the smell, and there were people on both sides fanning the fans, holding iced herbal tea, and they watched him here for three hours, without the intention of starting the trial, but just wanted to torture him slowly.

"King Yu, are you guilty?" He took a casual sip of tea, the crunch between the lid and the mouth of the cup was clearly audible.

An Ling Liuyu didn't answer, as if he was asleep, and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"If you don't confess, then I will count you as acquiescing."

"Whether you say it or not, the emperor will also give the minister this hat of killing the king, and the minister should not quibble, so as to avoid the pain of flesh and skin."

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows, as if he felt that he had become obedient in an instant, "Since King Yu is so self-aware, it would be better for me to let people serve him." He glanced at the criminal department official next to him, "Lord Zheng, how do you say it's better to serve King Yu?" ”

Zheng Youtian walked up to him with trembling hands, "Your Majesty, there are too many criminal laws, I don't know what level the emperor wants?" ”

"If I knew, I would still ask you?" His eyes glared at the person on the other side, "Useless thing, come on, take off Zheng Youtian's hat for me." "As the leader of the Criminal Department, he is so timid and afraid, and he is really inappropriate.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty, Weichen will never commit it again, Weichen is guilty......" How he regretted that he cared about the status of King Yu and the power of Concubine Li behind him, but now his status is not guaranteed.

The wails faded away, and the torture chamber returned to calm.

"Father-in-law Wen, give him some simple burning first."

"Slaves obey!" A person who is only obedient to the emperor in his life will never be afraid of others.

The charcoal in the brazier was red, and an iron rod was put in, I don't know how hot it was, but the other side still didn't speak.

Zhou Jing'er was a little more tender in an emerald dress, she waited quietly in the Chaoci Palace, but she was anxious, she had been waiting for the Queen Mother and her old man for an hour.

He once amazed the four with a song "Yangchun White Snow", pleasing the emperor's heart, and was named a talented person a few days later, with a graceful posture, a thousand charms, and even the emperor's heart, as if the arrogant and domineering Feiyue county lord did not exist before, this cousin has been a good relationship since ancient times.

"Jing'er has been waiting for a long time?" Empress Dowager Zhou, dressed in crimson satin, belatedly arrived, and became a little lethargic in the summer.

Zhou Jing'er smiled coquettishly, "What's the matter, Jing'er just came here, but she disturbed her aunt's good dreams!" ”

"Still called aunt?" She raised her eyebrows with a slightly provocative smile.

Zhou Jing'er squirmed, "Queen Mother!" The little face also turned red.

"You are from our Zhou family, you should know how to be more measured, and you should know how to capture the heart of the king for a long time, although Shen'er's child likes the new and hates the old, he still has some affection for you, and he will not snub you in the face of the mourning family, you have to seize the opportunity."

"Jing'er knows that the emperor's cousin is not as resistant to Jing'er as before, and it is better to be taught by the queen mother, and Jing'er will know to be restrained in the future and be a gentle and virtuous person."

Empress Dowager Zhou nodded, "Why didn't Shen'er come to greet the mourning family today, do you know where he went?" ”

Her heart was suddenly filled with joy, but she couldn't show it, "The emperor seems to have gone...... Go to the dungeon! She muttered quietly, to show that she couldn't speak.

Empress Dowager Zhou was taken aback and secretly screamed that it was not good. "Come on, go to the dungeon with the mourners."

Fei Jing'er behind her secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that nothing would happen to him. Suddenly, he became sad again, he was already the emperor's woman, and he didn't think about it anymore, but this time he was imprisoned because of Hua Ziluo, and he would never love her as always, right? It's really a word of love, and it makes people collapse. Why can't you put it down like that?

"King Yu, if it hurts, you have to call it out!" Wen Hai slowly walked towards him and smiled, unbuttoning the clothes on his chest, a smooth one.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" The sharp voice startled everyone, and they immediately stopped their movements and greeted the man at the door.

"Son-in-law, please give peace to the queen mother!" An Lingxu bowed unwillingly, which bastard exposed his whereabouts, he had to pick his skin.

Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at the person hanging in front of her, and said angrily: "Put King Yu down to the mourning family, who tied it up for me, the mourning family looked at his hands!" ”

"Queen Mother, what are you doing in such an unfortunate place early in the morning, this matter is decided by your sons, and it will be investigated!"

"How can you say that Yu'er is also brought up by the mourning family, and it can be regarded as a sibling, why does the emperor interrogate, the mourning family cannot be observed, is it to hide from the mourning family to do something that can't be on the table?" She hit the nail on the head, her sentences were prickly, and she only drenched the blood of the dog scolded by An Lingxu.

An Lingxu said with a deep smile, "Whatever the queen mother says, the son will definitely deal with it impartially." If King Yu is not guilty, he will be returned to his innocence. ”

An Ling sighed for a while, and the Queen Mother had a deep relationship with him, otherwise he would have been murdered. It is precisely because of this nurturing grace that he will let An Lingxu sink no matter what, as long as he doesn't do too much, today, it is because he is too weak that he will be bullied.

"Let King Yu go, he was brought up by the mourning family, doesn't the mourning family know him? If he had the intention of killing the king, he would not have saved your life in the first place, and he didn't want to be this emperor since he was a child! ”

"The queen mother is the benevolence of a woman, she will generalize with partiality, I didn't want to do it before, I don't want to do it now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let it go like this, how to explain it to the civil and military officials?"

Empress Dowager Zhou knew his hostility towards An Ling Liuyu, so she took a step back, "Hua Ziluo has fled, and now looking for her is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so how about transferring King Yu back to the palace and grounding until the day Hua Ziluo is brought back?" ”

An Lingxu thought about it, there is nothing wrong with this method, and it should be answered, and from then on, An Lingliu was like a deep boudoir lady who did not step out of the door, and was shackled by an invisible cage.

She sat in the inner hall and waited for Biru's news, but she didn't want to usher in An Lingxushen's anger first.

"Zhou Cairen, you are so bold!" An Lingxu said angrily.

Zhou Jing'er's heart trembled, but she pretended not to know, "Your Majesty, what crime did the concubine commit?" ”

An Lingxu Shen hit a woman for the first time, Zhou Jing'er left five fingerprints on her face, and she couldn't open her mouth to speak because of the pain.

"Did you report my whereabouts like the Queen Mother?"

Zhou Jing'er's face was full of tears, "The concubine didn't dare, the concubine originally went to ask the queen mother for peace, and waited for more than an hour before the queen mother got up, it was the queen mother who asked why the emperor didn't come to ask for peace, and the concubine's maidservant told the concubine that the emperor went to the dungeon, and the concubine didn't dare to say the truth, who knew that the queen mother went to the dungeon angrily!" ”

He grabbed her hair and forced her to look up at him, pear blossom had already cried with rain and put on makeup, and that heartbroken appearance made him want to protect again, "Is it my fault to blame you?" ”

"The concubine is really wronged, please ask the emperor to investigate!" When she cried, she really fainted, but it was because of heat stroke!

Zhou Jing'er's biological mother is Chiyan, she can't stand the summer of the Southern Dynasty after living in Chiyan for a few years, how can she be so hot when she is pampered, the pain of that slap is unbearable, she can't breathe well from crying, and she faints when she rolls her eyes.
