Chapter 238: Tortured
"Queen Mother, don't you still believe me and the third brother? Wei Xiyue was really wronged, I beg you, you can make an order! Even if there is no way to get Wei Xiyue out of prison for the time being, it doesn't matter, but don't let people torture her anymore to question her. Huo Zeshen said earnestly.
The Queen Mother was a little embarrassed.
After all, Wei Feiyue has become the crown prince's side concubine, even if Wei Xiyue didn't really poison Wei Feiyue, but after all, this has already involved framing the emperor's relatives. If the decree is made at this time, it will inevitably attract criticism, and it may also attract the dissatisfaction of the princelings.
"Imperial Grandmother!" Huo Zeshen shouted again.
The Queen Mother really couldn't withstand Huo Zeshen's repeated requests, and finally sighed, "Okay, the mourning family has made an order." It's just that Wei Xiyue can't get out of prison for the time being, and she may have to stay in prison for a few more days, and I will ask someone to take good care of her. ”
Huo Zeshen hurriedly gave a big salute to the Queen Mother, "Thank you, Imperial Grandmother!" ”
In the prison, Huo Lingxiao and Huo Zeyu were still facing each other, and the prince was standing by and watching.
Huo Lingxiao was distracted, and suddenly saw Huo Zeshen also coming in, and couldn't help but whisper to him, "Didn't I ask you to find the Queen Mother?" Did the Queen Mother make an order? ”
Huo Zeshen motioned for him to look out of the cell door, "Here we are." ”
The eunuch who was always by the Queen Mother's side immediately came in, "Xuan Empress Dowager's decree, Wei Xiyue poisoned and murdered the prince's side concubine without any evidence, so she will be temporarily detained in prison for observation, and no one is allowed to act without authorization." ”
After the eunuch finished announcing the decree, he immediately looked at a few people in the cell, "The Queen Mother said that too many people are not allowed to come to see Wei Xiyue, so please go back first." ”
After Huo Zeyu heard the queen mother's will, he was immediately angry.
Obviously, it was Wei Xiyue who wanted to harm Wei Feiyue, why did the Queen Mother actually kill her, and what she said to be left to be seen, isn't this what it means to be locked up for a period of time before being released?
Huo Zeyu's sentence "Why is the Queen Mother like this" reached the mouth of his throat, and in the end he swallowed it alive and left the prison with a sullen breath.
Huo Zeyu is not only dissatisfied with this, but also the prince.
Although the prince does not have as deep feelings for Wei Feiyue as Huo Zeyu does for Wei Feiyue, Wei Feiyue is also his prince's side concubine, and now the most suspicious person who murdered Wei Feiyue is Wei Xiyue, just one conclusive evidence is needed to make Wei Xiyue the identity of the murderer of the attempted murder.
But now that the Queen Mother has come to such a situation, isn't it clear that she will not give him face for the prince?
But the prince now has no real power in his hands to fight against the queen mother, so he has no choice but to swallow this breath and leave with Huo Zeyu.
Seeing that the crown prince and Huo Zeyu had left, the eunuch didn't care about Huo Lingxiao and Huo Zeshen who stayed, and turned around and left this place.
Wei Xiyue is not a fool, and when she sees this situation, she knows who came forward.
"The third prince, and the eleventh prince, thank you."
Huo Lingxiao suddenly smiled, "Why did you suddenly become so angry?" We're all in this together, and helping you is what we should do. Xiyue, don't worry, we will definitely find a way to prove your innocence. ”
Huo Zeshen also nodded.
"I know I won't be able to get out anytime soon, so I want to ask you to help me with something, I'm worried about my mother and brother, I'm afraid that someone will do something to them, can you help me take good care of them?" Wei Xiyue's words were slightly pleading.
Huo Zeshen and Huo Lingxiao hurriedly responded, "We will definitely do it, you can rest assured, we will soon be able to think of a way to take you out." ”
Wei Xiyue smiled and nodded, "Well, I believe in you." ”
Huo Lingxiao saw that it was not too early to see this time, he originally wanted to leave, but as if he suddenly thought of something, he told Wei Xiyue, "By the way, although the Queen Mother has made an order, you still have to be careful, Huo Zeyu's heart is now with Wei Feiyue, he will definitely not give up, you must be cautious." ”
Wei Xiyue nodded again, "I know, I will." ”
After saying these words, Huo Lingxiao didn't do much to stop and get up and was about to leave, but Huo Zeshen was still a little reluctant, "You must take care of yourself." The Queen Mother has promised to send someone to take care of you, and we will watch you often, so you must be careful not to let yourself suffer. ”
Wei Xiyue's heart warmed, "Okay, I know." ”
Huo Lingxiao originally thought that Huo Zeshen was going to leave after saying this, but he didn't expect Huo Zeshen to say a word, as if he wanted to say another word, he immediately twisted his eyebrows, and directly dragged Huo Zeshen away.
"It's not that there is no chance to meet again, what do you have to say next time, is it necessary for you to be so reluctant?" Even more than I did.
"But I'm still a little worried." Huo Zeshen didn't notice what Huo Lingxiao was thinking, and his face was still sad.
Huo Zeyu on the other side returned to the house, and when he thought of Wei Xiyue, the murderer who killed Wei Feiyue with poison, and now he was actually protected by the Queen Mother's order, he was very unhappy, and he couldn't even sit still, and he broke a teacup when he raised his hand.
"Why is the Queen Mother protecting them like this! Even a murderer must be protected! Why? Huo Zeyu shouted indignantly, "Wei Xiyue, don't be too lucky, if I get the opportunity, I will definitely kill you!" ”
The crown prince walked in from outside the door at this time, "Fourth Emperor Brother, why are you losing your temper?" ”
Huo Zeyu glared at him angrily, "How did you get in?" Why didn't anyone talk to me? ”
The crown prince shrugged his shoulders, "Naturally, I came in behind you, the fourth emperor brother." Fourth Emperor Brother, you really want to kill Wei Xiyue, right? ”
"What's the matter with you?" Huo Zeyu suddenly became vigilant.
"I can help you." The prince said.
Huo Zeyu couldn't help frowning, he had nothing to do, he was either a traitor or a thief, how could the prince suddenly be so kind?
"What the hell are you going to do?" Huo Zeyu asked.
"I have a way for you to sneak into the prison without a trace, and I can drug Wei Xiyue down, at that time, Wei Xiyue will lie flat and let you be tortured, and no one will know all this, what do you think?" The prince said in a seductive tone.
Huo Zeyu couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard the prince say this, but he quickly came back to his senses, "What good do you do if you help me like this?" ”
The prince put on a calm appearance and spread out his hands, "I don't have any benefit, but Fei Yue is also my side concubine, I naturally can't see him being poisoned like this, and that person can still be safe." It's just that my identity is not suitable for me to do such a thing, so I want the imperial brother to help me do it. What do you think, brother? ”
Huo Zeyu hesitated for a while, the prince's words didn't sound like a lie, plus he could avenge Wei Feiyue with his own hands......
"Okay, I promise you." Huo Zeyu looked at the prince fixedly, and said with determination.
That night, someone came to deliver food to Wei Xiyue, Wei Xiyue looked at the person's face, and thought that Huo Zeshen said that the Queen Mother would send someone to take care of her, so she didn't think much about it, but she didn't expect that the meal was drugged.
As soon as he finished his meal, he felt weak in his hands and feet, and he fell directly on the straw she used as a bed in the cell.
The last image she saw was Huo Zeyu walking in from outside the cell.
Huo Zeyu was holding a whip specially used for interrogation in his hand, and looked at Wei Xiyue, who was unconscious on the straw, and couldn't help but laugh, "Wei Xiyue, I didn't expect it, even if the Queen Mother protects you, you still have to fall into my hands in the end!" ”
Before the sound of the word "Shang" was finished, Huo Zeyu whipped Wei Xiyue fiercely.
Wei Xiyue was completely unable to move at this time, but she was still moved by Huo Zeyu's strong whip, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on her body.
Seeing this, Huo Zeyu didn't feel bloody, but only felt a sense of comfort from the inside out.
"Feiyue, it's a pity you can't see it. However, the pain that this slut inflicted on you, I will get it back for you a hundredfold and a thousand times today! Huo Zeyu said, and whipped down again.
The force of the whip returned to him made his hands tingle, but he didn't care. Because only in this way can he truly feel that Wei Xiyue has suffered a great deal of pain.
Huo Lingxiao somehow felt uneasy at night. At first, he couldn't figure out why, but the feeling became clearer and clearer, so he didn't care about anything else, and ran straight to the prison.
Just when Huo Lingxiao entered the big guy and was about to run to the cell where Wei Xiyue was, he was stopped by a jailer.
"Third Prince, I'm sorry, you can't go in."
"Why can't I go in? Who gave the order? Huo Lingxiao was now thinking about Wei Xiyue, and his tone towards the jailer who was holding him back became unkind.
The jailer was stopped by Huo Lingxiao, "This ......"
At this moment, Huo Lingxiao suddenly heard the sound of skin and flesh being whipped, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.
He glanced at the jailer again, but found that this person was not the one he had seen before, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and pushed away the jailer who was blocking him, "Don't do this and that, don't get in my way!" ”
The jailer hurried after him.
The two of them chased after me like this, all the way to Wei Xiyue's cell.
At this time, Huo Zeyu was gone, leaving Wei Xiyue alone.
Lying on the ground, covered in blood.
Huo Lingxiao was startled, his brain couldn't even keep up with the movements of his body, so he rushed forward directly and hugged Wei Xiyue into his arms, "Xiyue, Xiyue, are you still awake?" How are you? ”
No response.
Huo Lingxiao's heart suddenly cooled, and he poked his finger under Wei Xiyue's nose.
Luckily, there's still heat. Huo Lingxiao's soul has just returned.
"Who! Who the hell did it! Didn't the Queen Mother decree that Wei Xiyue would not be allowed to be privately executed! Huo Lingxiao shouted angrily.
Unfortunately, all that responded to him was silence.
