Chapter Twenty-Four: The Evidence in the Cracks of the Table

“……”

"Burned at the stake."

Xiao Lang suddenly looked frightened.

It is rumored that King Qi is ruthless, and no one has ever been able to leave King Qi's dungeon without saying a word!

It turns out that no one can endure this kind of flesh and skin suffering.

But he couldn't say!

If you say it yourself, your sister will be in danger!

Xiao Lang gritted his teeth, and watched with fear as the red-burned iron gradually approached him......

"Ahh

In an instant, a heart-rending scream began to echo from the dungeon. Outside, no sound could be heard.

For the sake of his sister, Xiao Lang could only insist on it.

Half an hour passed, and Xiao Lang had several burns on his body.

He was sweating profusely, his lips had been bitten, and he was bleeding at the moment.

Seeing that Xiao Lang still didn't say anything, Zhao Yu was even more sure that things were not so simple.

The hour was not early, and he was a little tired.

"Think about it, if you don't say it tomorrow, this king won't be so kind to you!"

Soft-hearted? Is this still soft-hearted?

In the dungeon, Xiao Lang was the only one who was surprised, and the others were accustomed to it.

Get out of the dungeon and go back to the yard. Seeing that Jiang Youxi's room still has lights. Zhao Yu pushed open the door and walked in.

I saw Jiang Youxi sitting at the table boredly, and when he saw Zhao Yu coming in, his eyes suddenly widened happily.

"You're not sleeping at such a late hour?" Zhao Yu walked up to Jiang Youxi and looked down at her.

"I'm waiting for you! You haven't told me yet! You're going to repay me? ”

Zhao Yu looked at Jiang Youxi, pondered for a moment, and said with a light smile: "How about making a promise?"

Jiang Youxi was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face froze suddenly.

She looked at Zhao Yu intently, and her mind was blank.

After reacting, I kept thinking, I shouldn't have heard it wrong, right?

"What did you just say?" Jiang Youxi suddenly didn't believe his ears.

"This king said, how about making a promise with oneself?"

He never repeats a word. However, he made an exception again because of Jiang Youxi.

Jiang Youxi stared at Zhao Yu incredulously with apricot eyes.

Then, suddenly laughed: "You must be joking!" She still couldn't believe it, although she had dreamed that this man was her own, but this suddenly made a personal promise, which was inevitably a little suspicious.

Seeing that Jiang Youxi didn't believe it, Zhao Yu didn't want to continue.

The expression on his face also became indifferent at once, leaving a sentence: "Rest early." And he turned and left.

I've never said anything like this to a woman, and the first time I say it, it makes people feel like they're lying. Zhao Yu was disheartened all of a sudden, and he was still not suitable for being a gentle person.

And Jiang Youxi, who was standing in place, was stunned.

His expression just now, is it loss?

"No way, no way!" Jiang Youxi hurriedly shook his head: "I must be thinking too much, let's go to bed early, otherwise I should be self-inflicted with cranky thoughts." ”

The next morning, Jiang Youxi got up and couldn't wait for Chen Mu to take him to the dungeon.

After Chen Mu got Zhao Yu's consent, the three of them came to the dungeon together.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Youxi saw that Xiao Lang's clothes were already in tatters, and there were still a few burns on his chest. Shocking.

She looked back at Zhao Yu in surprise: "Are you being tortured?" ”

"Are you distressed?" Zhao Yu turned his head sideways and asked with a displeased expression.

Looking at Zhao Yu's expression that was diametrically opposed to last night, Jiang Youxi was even more sure that Zhao Yu was playing by himself last night.

No, it's only been one night and it's been back in shape.

"No...... Jiang Youxi shook his head lightly: "I'm a little surprised." If you don't say anything, it means that your method doesn't work. ”

"What's your solution?"

Zhao Yu turned around and walked to the side and sat on the chair.

"Can you let me be alone with him for a while?" Jiang Youxi held a fluke in his heart, looked at a few people around him, and spoke.

Before the words fell, he was vetoed by Zhao Yu: "No." ”

"Why?"

Jiang Youxi looked puzzled: "Anyway, your method is useless, it's better to let me come!" ”

"Miss, I think it's better to forget it. Such a dangerous person, if you are allowed to be alone......" Chen Mu said with some concern.

Besides, that's a living man, even if he is tied to a shelf at the moment, it's not safe.

"Okay then."

Jiang Youxi pouted helplessly: "Then you can just watch here, don't think I'm too heavy for a while." ”

, everyone was curious.

How ruthless can she be as a little girl?

Moment......

Everyone saw that Xiao Lang, who didn't say a word, honestly told his reason, and twisted his body painfully when he spoke.

"You say, all these things you did were instructed by King Yong?" Jiang Youxi looked at Xiao Lang in surprise and asked.

Seeing Xiao Lang nodding, Jiang Youxi subconsciously looked at Zhao Yu who was sitting on the side.

And Zhao Yu listened to Xiao Lang's words, got up and walked in front of him.

"Why did King Yong tell you to do this?" His expression was cold, and his hands were behind his back.

"His Royal Highness King Yong wants to use this matter to frame you, in order to make the people of the whole country think that His Royal Highness King Qi is selfish and ruthless. It's good to say that you are ...... in front of the emperor It's not good. Xiao Lang, with a painful face.

He felt an unbearable itch on every piece of skin all over his body, and the pain made him want to crash to this wall all at once. However, he was tied to the barrel at the moment and couldn't move at all.

"Now...... Now I've said everything, Miss Jiang...... Please, give me the antidote. He looked at Jiang Youxi painfully and prayed.

"Why didn't you say it yesterday?" Zhao Yu frowned, and asked impatiently.

He even used burning at the stake yesterday, and he didn't even say a word.

Zhao Yu feels that things are not so simple.

Anyway, he had already spoken, and Xiao Lang also knew that if he didn't say everything, King Qi would definitely not let him go easily.

"My sister is the concubine of King Yong, if you let King Yong know, because I exposed King Yong. King Yong is about to kill my sister...... My sister is my only relative...... I ......"

, Xiao Lang wanted to speak and stopped.

In his eyes, tears flashed.

"Do you think that if you endure these Yongwang, you will not be exposed?" After Jiang Youxi finished speaking, he sneered: "Since you also have a hard time, then I will spare your life." But you have to promise me to go to the grave of the Wu family and kowtow and admit your mistakes! Your sister is a relative, but that's also a lot of lives! ”

Xiao Lang nodded: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Zhao Yu on the side was stunned, and glared at Jiang Youxi sideways: "Here, when will you have your part to speak?" ”

Jiang Youxi was also stunned, right......

He is not a prince.

Can you not say it? Can't you save me some face?

"Yes...... Now he's spoken out. Even if he goes back, King Nayong won't let him go...... If you kill him, won't you do more? Jiang Youxi opened his mouth and said it clearly.

"A woman's kindness." After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he turned to look at Chen Mu behind him: "Take him to the grave of the Wu family." ”

"Thank you!" Jiang Youxi suddenly looked grateful.

But Zhao Yu turned around and looked at her with an indifferent expression: "You can't go." ”

"Why? Why can't I go! Originally, Fang was still smiling, but the smile disappeared in an instant: "I'm going too." I want to see him kowtow to the Wu family with my own eyes. ”

"Miss Jiang...... I beg you. Can you give me the antidote first? Xiao Lang looked at the two people who were discussing passionately and spoke helplessly.

Jiang Youxi glanced at him impatiently: "The effect of this medicine will only be a quarter of an hour, and it will be for a while!" ”

"......" just a quarter of an hour, I didn't hold back and said everything?

Xiao Lang looked at Jiang Youxi incredulously, and then stomped his foot hard in remorse.

"Go to the inn, if there is no problem, we will leave for Beijing tomorrow." Zhao Yu said a word, then turned around and walked out of the dungeon.

And Jiang Youxi reluctantly followed.

Chen Mu and Qin Che were responsible for taking Xiao Lang to the Wu family's grave.

Five days later, the epidemic has been brought under control. When the two of them arrived at the inn, they saw that the inn was already clean, and those people had already left.

"No one?" Seeing this scene, Jiang Youxi was still a little puzzled.

"Miss Jiang, you're here." Seeing Jiang Youxi coming, the old man walked out of it: "Those people, they are all sick and left." ”

Look, the plague is completely gone.

Jiang Youxi was also relieved.

Embarking on the road again, Jiang Youxi was as excited as ever.

Sitting in the carriage and humming a little song, Zhao Yu sat on the side and closed his eyes.

A month has passed, and Jiang Youxi's energy has been almost consumed. At this moment, he was sitting in the carriage bored, staring at Zhao Yu with a pair of apricot eyes: "You said you, just sit like this every day, aren't you tired?" ”

"Are you tired?" Zhao Yu opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Youxi with concern.

Jiang Youxi shook his head helplessly: "It's been a month, and my butt hurts." When will we get there......"

"Tomorrow is here." After speaking, Zhao Yu got up: "If you feel bored, go out and ride a horse with me." ”

When Jiang Youxi heard this, he immediately felt a lot more energetic. The chick nodded like a peck of rice: "Okay, okay!" Didn't you say it earlier? ”

“……”

Turning over and getting on the horse, Jiang Youxi sat in front as before, and Zhao Yu behind him was holding the reins with both hands.

Feeling the hug behind him, Jiang Youxi blushed shyly.

One day.

The door of the Qi Palace.

Jiang Youxi's eyes widened and he looked at the huge plaque in front of him in disbelief.

"This ...... Is it the Qi Palace? Seeing Zhao Yu nodding, Jiang Youxi spoke again: "Then, what is the situation of the palace in your fiefdom?" Totally ...... with this."
