Chapter 283: Without a Trace
In the room, the atmosphere was so silent that it was suffocating, and the personal guards stood at the door tremblingly and looked at the prince whose face suddenly became gloomy, and he didn't dare to come out.
"Without a trace? What does it mean to disappear without a trace, you explain it to Hongu. Qi Cheng'an looked at him coldly.
"The subordinates set off fireworks to give them a signal according to His Highness's orders, and then they sneaked into the Hanqi Palace, but after entering there, there was no longer a figure, and the subordinates answered outside, and when they saw that they had not come out for a long time, they risked being exposed and went in to investigate, no one, not one, and they didn't even notice that anyone had entered there." The guard whispered.
"How is that possible!" Qi Cheng'an said coldly, "It's just a cold palace that no one passes through all year round, a deserted palace, can there be any ulterior secrets?" How many masters can disappear out of thin air? ”
"Your Highness, I'm afraid that the plan has been leaked and I have been ambushed." The guard voiced his doubts.
"Ambush?" Qi Cheng'an frowned, "You know and I know about this matter, and there is ......" He suddenly thought of Mu Xiwan.
"It's her!" Qi Cheng'an's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were full of gloom, "This slut!" ”
"Your Highness suspects that it is Mu Xilate?" The guard asked.
"I only have her in this matter besides you, and I asked her the direction of Hanqi Palace before I started, who else could she have."
"It shouldn't be." The guard shook his head, "After she finished talking to His Highness, she entered the banquet hall, and her subordinates kept staring at her, and she didn't communicate with Feng Chengyi during the whole dinner. ”
"That's Feng Chengyi." Qi Cheng'an couldn't think of a second person, "Who can shoot so quickly and take away our people silently, in the entire palace, I'm afraid only Feng Chengyi can do it." ”
"But our plan is temporary, how would he know?"
"Didn't you just say it, it must have been the secret of the woman who Mu Xiwan." Qi Cheng'an was furious in his heart at this time, and finally thought of a breakthrough, but he didn't expect to be quietly resolved by the other party, especially now that he doesn't know who the enemy is.
"That woman has a handle in the hands of His Highness, how dare she betray His Highness." The guard groaned, "She is secretive about her identity, knowing that once she betrays Her Highness, her identity will definitely be exposed, even if she dares to do it?" ”
"yes!" After being reminded by the guards, the angry Qi Cheng'an regained a trace of her senses, "She finally secured the position of the crown princess, she betrayed me as soon as I finished telling her, so it was too obvious what happened, she should know, so she might not dare to do this." ”
"Yes, the same is true of the subordinates' speculation."
"Who else could there be?" Qi Cheng'an was furious, "You go to check immediately, even if you turn the Hanqi Palace over, you have to find out what is going on, even if you are dead, you have to live to see people and corpses!" ”
"Yes." The guard nodded, "Those people are dead soldiers, Your Highness can rest assured." ”
"Let's go check it out, a bunch of rubbish!" Qi Cheng'an had a cold face, and there was nothing that made him happy when he came here.
Dark night, the dungeon of the East Palace.
"Your Highness." Looking at the people who appeared at the door, the dark guard stepped forward.
"How's it going?" Feng Chengyi, who had an indifferent face, stepped into the dungeon.
"It's a dead man." Sword's face was a little ugly.
"Didn't ask?" Feng Chengyi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"The dead soldiers who raised them, the people who brought them in didn't pay attention, and 8 of them committed suicide by poisoning under their neglect."
"Rubbish!" Feng Chengyi's face was cold, "Is there any life left?" ”
"Two more." Jian Ran nodded, "These two were discovered in time, and the mouth was pried open and the poison was taken out." ”
"Oh? Hiding poison behind your teeth? Feng Chengyi sneered when he heard this, "What about people? ”
"It's tied inside, the mouth is relatively hard, and I can't pry it open, so I have to suffer a little."
The tools and means of punishment in the dungeon of the East Palace are much more varied than the prison of the official palace outside, and at first some people were stubborn and did not speak, but Feng Chengyi has never seen a whole set of attempts that can stand up.
"If you don't speak, find a way to get them to speak." Feng Chengyi's eyes became gloomy and cold, and he walked towards the innermost cell.
Eight black-clad corpses lay there nearby, their faces covered with a cloth.
"Your Highness." Seeing that the prince was coming, the executioners stopped.
The smell of blood in the cell was very strong, and the two tied up had cracked their skin and flesh, moaning in pain, but they still gritted their teeth and did not let go.
"Humph!" Feng Chengyi, who was cold in his body, went in and saw this situation, sneered, and ordered Jian Ran, "Go over, carry those eight corpses and put them at their feet." ”
The two people tied up by the "......" were shocked when they saw Feng Chengyi, and their hearts trembled when they remembered those legends about him. Listening to his words again, he saw 8 bodies that had begun to decay due to the poison at his feet, and his face turned red.
"Go on, loosen the ties, put them on top of these corpses one by one, and let their wounds be next to the decomposing parts of these corpses." Feng Chengyi sat far away in the chair, drinking tea, and waiting coldly for them to speak.
"Yes." The Dark Guard nodded.
"What are you going to do, what are you going to do!"
I was not afraid, I was not afraid of pouring cold water, I was not afraid of punishment, I was not afraid of soldering iron, but after a quarter of an hour, the two of them finally couldn't help it, and they vomited out.
The guards grabbed them and threw them against the wall, their front covered in rotting flesh and black, filthy and poisonous black blood.
"Just keep going." Feng Chengyi didn't even look at it.
"I'll recruit, I'll recruit!" Finally, one couldn't help but feel sick and opened his mouth.
Another quarter of an hour passed, Feng Chengyi listened to the confession of the man in black, and sneered: "This palace naturally knows that the person behind the scenes is Qi Cheng'an, and what this palace asks is what his purpose is." ”
He looked at the person coldly, like a god gazing at the grass mustard, and his powerful aura made people shudder: "Tell this palace, why do you want to visit Hanqi Palace late at night." ”
A few hours later, Feng Chengyi followed Jian Ran out of the dungeon.
At this time, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and it was too early to beat the watch, and Mu Xiwan had already fallen asleep with the child.
"Your Highness." Jian Ran looked at Feng Chengyi's back.
"Go and rest early, and send Qi Cheng'an out of the city with me tomorrow."
"Yes." Kenzome nodded, and disappeared in place in an instant.
On the second day, Mu Xi, who was concerned about the results of the torture, asked Feng Chengyi about the situation.
"He's trying to figure out the layout of the palace now." Feng Chengyi, who was eating breakfast, said lightly.
"He wants to steal it directly?" Mu Xiwan was surprised, "This Qi Cheng'an is really gloomy and cunning, since there is a witness, what is His Highness going to do, do you want to expose it?" ”
"Nope." Feng Chengyi shook his head, "Now that the situation between the two countries is tense, just relying on the evidence of an assassin will not have any impact on him, but will make him beat upside down, making people think that we are deliberately framing and trying to provoke trouble." ”
"So His Highness plans to put this matter down for the time being, and let him go back with his whole body." Mu Xiwan guessed his plan.
"Yes." Feng Chengyi nodded, a smile on the corner of his mouth, "But it's not as easy to go back as he thought." ”
