098 Deception (Second Update)
With red walls and green tiles, the palace is majestic and magnificent. Most of the buildings in this palace are already majestic, and each palace reveals majesty, as if to show the incomparable dignity of their owners.
In Shangyang Palace, in the study, Prince Xuanyuan Ze was holding a book in his hand, and there were luminous cups, glass cups, rhinoceros cups, and several pots of wine on the wooden table beside him.
While reading the book, he touched the flask with his other hand, looked at it out of the corner of his eye, poured a glass of wine, moved it to his lips, took a sip, and savored it.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the study, and the three eunuchs walked into the study with their heads down.
"How's the Assassin's trial?" Xuanyuan Ze put down the book and stood up.
"Back to the prince, there doesn't seem to be much progress in the assassin's affairs now, and this time the assassin's mouth is very tight!"
"Then find a way to get him to say something!" Xuanyuan Ze smiled contemptuously, and the eunuch led by him immediately understood what he meant.
"Prince, the slave will do it, don't worry, you will be satisfied!" The old eunuch smiled and withdrew from the study.
Xuanyuan Ze sat back on the brocade couch, a pair of black eyes looked at a pot of chic orchids in the study, he likes this kind of orchid, has a vitality beyond a qiē, if the orchid is the gentleman of the flower, then the orchid grass is of course better than the orchid.
In the dungeon in the small building in the middle of the lake, several eunuchs went and returned.
Su Yue felt as if she had a long, long dream, in which she seemed to have returned to her previous life, and saw Zhang Ran and the woman who took away her love, the woman sneered at her in the dream, just like at the wedding that day, pointing at her and scolding her for being shameless, scolding her for pestering Zhang Ran even though she didn't live long? The pain of losing her lover and despair of love made her sweat profusely, and she wanted to wake up but couldn't wake up, repeating nightmares over and over again, making her almost suffocate.
A basin of cold water poured down, and Su Yue felt a bone-chilling coldness and slowly opened her eyes.
"What, it's good if you're not dead, if you die, this thing won't be easy?" The old eunuch smiled, hooked his orchid fingers, and when he smelled a foul smell, he quickly covered his nose again.
"If you tell the truth today, maybe, as soon as the prince is happy, he will let you go, and say it well, as long as you draw a charge on this confession, you can avoid the pain of flesh and skin!"
Raising his head, three pairs of indifferent eyes shot at his body, and his heart trembled a little unintentionally, it turned out that he just heard that this royal family is ruthless, and the people in this royal family are even more ruthless, these minions must have been in the palace for a long time, and they have long lost half of their humanity, even if they see life and death, these eyes will still blink, what, Su Yue doesn't think that the prince will spare her so lightly, and at the banquet yesterday, she noticed that there seemed to be some gap between the brothers.
"Humph!" I wanted to face it indifferently, but I couldn't control myself, and a smile ran out of the corner of my mouth.
"Good assassin, you dare to defy the prince!" The old eunuch's face suddenly changed, which made Su Yue feel that he was undoubtedly pretending to be a fox and a tiger, and the dog was fighting against people.
"I didn't mean that, don't you need to go through the normal procedures to try the case?" After saying this sentence with great difficulty, he glanced at the old eunuch's expression, and the old eunuch was a little disapproving.
"It's normal for those wastes in the Criminal Department to be ineffective, and the prince's personal investigation of this case can prove the prince's filial piety! The prince is really for the country and the people! ”
When she heard this, Su Yue tried her best to hold back a smile, she knew, of course she knew what kind of heart this prince An, it was nothing more than wanting to compete for favor in front of the emperor and queen, since ancient times, she thought that in this palace, only women would be jealous of each other in front of the emperor, it turned out that this man competed for favor, better than women.
"Bold! Sue me, do you know King Xuan? Is this assassination incident related to him? The old eunuch took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it in front of Su Yue.
Su Yue was held by two eunuchs left and right, unable to move at all, and glanced at the paper, which actually said that she and King Xuan colluded with each other to assassinate the emperor and the queen.
It's really a big joke, does this prince think that the emperor and the queen are blind? It turned out that this prince was bent on framing Xuanyuan, although the two of them were not brothers, and the prince was already under one person and above ten thousand, he actually killed his brothers and siblings so much, Su Yue really couldn't figure it out, she didn't understand even more, the open and secret struggle in the royal family had become so obvious?
"I don't know Xuanyuan at all, you want to use me, you're looking for the wrong person!" Su Yue turned her face sideways, although she didn't have a good impression of Xuanyuan Yan, but she still understood the principles of being a man, the prince wanted to use this incident to attack Xuanyuan Yan's position in the court and stabilize his power, did he think she was a noodle person? So at the mercy of others!
"You have to draw this bet, and you have to paint if you don't paint! You two, hurry up, let her draw for me! “
The old eunuch gave an order, and one of the little eunuchs pulled Su Yue's hand, dipped it in some red clay, and then took her hand and pressed it down on the piece of paper.
Su Yue desperately wanted to withdraw her hand, but the strength of these two eunuchs was too great, and in desperation, she turned her head to the right side and bit down hard.
"Ahh A scream echoed through the dungeon.
"Dare to bite?" The little eunuch was obviously bitten and hurt, put down Su Yue's hand, and grabbed her hair fiercely.
The pain of her hair being scratched was so painful that she could barely speak, as if her scalp was about to be removed so hard, she looked at the three eunuchs with firm eyes, how could her arrogance and dignity allow them to trample on it like this?
It is better to be broken than broken, this is what Su Yue has understood since she was a child.
"I can't draw this charge, go back and tell your prince, even if I die, don't want me to draw a charge!" The hair on her head was pulled tighter and tighter, and she had a splitting headache, but Su Yue didn't regret it, she didn't care about this kind of thing, and she wouldn't be used as a tool to be used.
"What are you doing?" Xuanyuan Yan personally investigated the assassin outside, and was worried about Su Yue's safety, so he went down to the dungeon to check, but he didn't expect that the scene just now was seen by him.
In the dungeon, somehow there was a murderous aura, this murderous aura was more terrifying than the cold air in the dungeon, Xuanyuan Yan walked step by step to the eunuch in the dungeon, his palms were tightly clenched, and his body was filled with a terrifying coercion.
The old eunuch was shocked that the form was wrong, and hurriedly lowered his body and quietly put the paper in his arms. The two little eunuchs behind him also let go and stood behind the old eunuch with their heads down.
"It turned out to be King Xuan!" Although the old eunuch maintained normalcy on his face, he sweated in his heart.
"What an old fox, changing his face faster than turning a book!" Getting rid of the pain just now, Su Yue took a sip in her heart and scolded secretly.
"What do you have the prince's command?" Xuanyuan Yan controlled his own feelings, word by word, echoed in this empty dungeon.
The old eunuch had an unnatural smile on his face, and Orchid pointed to it: "Prince, the prince has no instructions, just send the old slave over to see if this assassin is living well and eating well!" ”
"You fart!" Su Yue scolded secretly, she had never seen such a cheeky dog minion, she was fierce like a tiger just now, but now she has become a kitten, she can't be angry, she feels like her whole body is cramping when she is angry.
Xuanyuan Yan had a cold face, looked at Su Yue, who was all soaked, and swallowed: "Since it's okay, don't get out of here!" ”
"Yes, yes, let's go!" The old eunuch was so frightened that he secretly wiped a handful of sweat from the bottom of his heart, this King Xuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is estimated that he will not take advantage of it in this case, so he will still go to the upper volume.
The prince's people walked away, Xuanyuan Yan frowned, and wanted to say something, but saw Su Yue struggling to hold his back to him, and what he wanted to say was swallowed like that.
"Don't worry, I won't let you wait too long, you won't die with me!" Xuanyuan Yan looked at Su Yue's back, and silently said in his heart, this is the promise he gave her, a promise for a lifetime, only to give her a promise. [bookid=3474115,bookname="Splendid Joy"]
