The fifth princess was stunned for a moment, then reacted and exclaimed: "You want to torture her?" She is still sick, how can she survive the torture? Brother Wang, you can't indiscriminately harm the innocent, if she is innocent, won't you regret it? ”

Li Muqing didn't answer her, just looked at the red plum on the tree indifferently, her eyes were as deep as the sea, and finally looked at the maid behind her: "Looking at her these days, you are not allowed to leave the door for a single step, if you let the princess escape, you don't want to live." ”

When the fifth princess heard this, she said angrily: "Brother Wang, why are you doing this to me, Brother Wang! Li Muqing ignored her, just walked forward step by step, leaving a clear row of footprints behind her. The fifth prince rushed over to theorize, but was stopped by several maids: "Princess, please go back to the house." ”

Looking at the maid kneeling on the ground, the fifth princess's face turned red, turned back to the room, and locked everyone outside: "No one is allowed to come in without my permission!" Brother Wang can't either! ”

On the snow-white promenade in the distance, the snow is still falling, as if it is about to rain all the snow in this life, the sky is gloomy, and I can't see the time.

Li Muqing walked unhurriedly, followed by two guards, and arrived at the door of the prison in a moment. When the cell boss saw him coming, he hurriedly put down the wine jug in his hand and stepped forward reluctantly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why are you here?" ”

"What about the woman who came in? Her Highness wants to see her. The bodyguard said.

Hearing this, the cell boss hurriedly led the way: "It's over here, Your Highness, please come with me." When he went to a cell and stood still, the cell head pointed to Su Chaoxi, who was leaning against the wall inside, and said, "Your Highness, this person fainted not long after he came in, and he hasn't woken up yet, do you need me to get a basin of water to wake her up?" ”

The woman inside was leaning against the corner of the wall, her head hanging slightly, her long hair covering most of her face, but revealing a white neck with a beautiful arc like a swan's long neck, she was curled up, as if she was still shivering, and her thin clothes were still wearing the plain white cloak she had taken in the room before, Li Muqing's shallow gaze moved away from the woman, and found that the cell boss was still waiting for his orders, so she said lightly: "Go." ”

The cell boss looked at the woman with a distraction just now, and thought that he would not bear to splash water on this weak woman on such a cold day, but he didn't expect him to agree, and the cell boss ran to serve the water in some surprise, thinking that the prince was really unpredictable.

Soon the water came, and the cell boss opened the door, carrying a large basin of cold water, and splashed it mercilessly on the woman.

This is the second time I've been woken up by water, right? Su Chaoxi shrank and woke up, her body was wet and even her shoes were not spared, her blurred eyes glanced at the cell head who was still holding the basin in her hand, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, the last time she was thrown into the lake by Mo Huanli, at least it was early summer, but this time she was splashed with water but in a frozen prison, this gap is not ordinary.

After finishing his work, the cell boss looked at Li Muqing tentatively and asked, "Do you take her out for interrogation, or do you just ask here?" ”

Li Muqing turned around and left, did not speak, the cell boss was clear, turned his head and glared at Su Chaoxi and shouted: "Don't hurry up and go out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to ask you!" After saying that, he dragged her up stiffly, pushed and shoved her to the place of interrogation in the prison.

Su Chaoxi raised his heavy eyelids and took a look, here are all interrogation tools, hot iron tongs, hemp rope dipped in water, bamboo sticks with thin needles, heavy iron chains, all kinds of torture tools placed on the wall, and there are two high-pitched braziers next to them, which burst out from time to time, making the whole room red-hot.

Su Chaoxi was tied to a cross-shaped interrogation wood, the cell boss held a whip in his hand, and asked respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, just ask if you have anything." ”

Li Muqing leaned on the back of the chair, and the whole person looked lazy but dangerous against the backdrop of the firelight. He looked at the woman opposite lightly: "What's your name?" ”

If this question is answered, it will obviously be lost face to other countries, Su Chaoxi sighed: "Su Xi, I am from Dongluo Qingcheng." "Does that count as losing only half of the people?

Li Muqing's face was cold: "What is the purpose of your coming here?" ”

"I wanted to come here to find an antidote to save my son." Su Chaoxi drooped his head, how could he say this to a person, he was so tired.

"Son?" Li Muqing frowned, looked her up and down, suddenly got up and walked over, reached out and pinched her chin and lifted it, looked at her face carefully, suddenly, phoenix eyes narrowed, and said coldly: "You are still a boudoir woman, how can you have a son?" ”

Huh? Su Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, he said this to the three people, only he found the clue, this person is not easy to fool. Li Muqing took in her expression, and stared at her with abyss-like calm eyes: "Tell the truth!" ”

"I didn't give birth to it, but what I raised is mine." Su Chaoxi met his gaze: "This child's mother has a relationship with me, and his mother died when the child was born, and he has no father, so I took it back to raise, but unfortunately he was poisoned by mistake, and he needs something from Beiban to solve it." ”

"What's that?"

Will you be beaten if you say it? Su Chaoxi pursed her lips: "The root of the Fuyin flower." ”

Sure enough, Li Muqing's face changed slightly, he let go of his hand, his eyebrows were finely raised, and his tone was low: "The root of the Yin Flower? What exactly do you want it to do? ”

"Save people."

Li Muqing squinted her eyes and looked at the cell head: "It seems that she doesn't tell the truth, so let's torture." ”

Su Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, this became too sudden, and the cell head was also startled, but soon came over with a whip. At first, she was still thinking about why there was still water dripping on the whip, but when the whip fell on her, Su Chaoxi "hissed", only to know that it was not water at all, but salt water, and the place where the whip marks were drawn not only had the pain of the skin opening, but also the pain of salt water seeping into the wound, Su Chaoxi bit her lower lip, and received a few more whips, and blood beads began to appear on her lips.

"What do you want to do with the roots of the Yin Flower? What is the purpose of your visit to Beiban? Li Muqing raised his hand, the cell head stopped, he got up and walked over, looked at her pale face, and asked coldly.

"Save people." Su Chaoxi opened her mouth and made a hoarse sound, there was a layer of fine sweat on her forehead, her hair was stuck to her sideburns, her tied fingers curled slightly, trembling, and blood began to seep out of the thin clothes on her body, and the whole person looked like withered leaves.

Li Muqing's eyes flashed slightly when she heard this, she flicked her sleeves coldly, and walked out, leaving only one sentence: "Don't let her die." ”

The cell boss nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and when he raised his eyes again, he found that the person was gone, he turned his head to look at the woman who was almost unconscious, shook his head, and left. Su Chaoxi was left tied there alone, hanging his head.
