Bao Yuan...... "The palace maid repeated the name softly, and then frowned slightly, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Yes, Bao Yuan." Bai Ling nodded—although it was impossible for the palace maid to see this action, she said softly, "Why did you go out then?" ”

The palace maid said in a low voice, "Yes...... Jin Zhi asked me to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and report the matter of the paulownia doll. I pushed open the door and saw a palace maid I didn't recognize, who was on the corridor outside our Chuxiu Palace, bending over and looking around, as if she was looking for something......"

Bai Ling said softly, "Do you bend over and look around, or do you stand by the carved window and look inside?" ”

"Bend over and look around."

There was a sound of paper shaking behind the screen, Emperor Jianxi pulled out a confession, and Qiu Shi hurriedly held the candlestick and approached to illuminate Emperor Jianxi.

Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, "Then why, tonight you have to tell Huang Gonggong that Bao Yuan is standing by the carved window and looking into the courtyard?" ”

"Because that's what Jin Zhi told me after I got that palace maid in."

The golden branch behind the screen let out a sharp rebuttal, but as soon as he finished the first word, he was viciously covered by Zhang Fuhai, who was beside Concubine Ning.

Zhang Fuhai grabbed Jin Zhi's mouth hard, his nails pierced directly into her upper jaw, and his other hand pinched her external jaw, and then with a little force, he easily removed her temporomandibular joint.

The sharp pain of the dislocation made Jin Zhi almost faint, and he didn't even have the strength to scream.

"Drag her out." Emperor Jianxi didn't raise his head, still looking at the confession in his hand, "Let's hit twenty boards first." ”

Concubine Ning glanced at Zhang Fuhai deeply, and Zhang Fuhai's face full of flesh immediately reluctantly squeezed out a humble smile, "The slave understands." ”

Lin Jieyu sat on the chair in the corner, watching Jin Zhi being dragged away with an inexplicable grunt, she finally understood that the hunter of this night was not her, and she had become the prey at this moment - everyone present was participating in this strangulation against her.

- Your Ming Gong wants you to die.

She turned to look at Bai Ling in disbelief.

Through the almost transparent tulle, Lin Jieyu couldn't see Bai Ling's expression clearly, and could only see her face and figure under the candlelight.

For the first time, an unprecedented fear enveloped Lin Jieyu's heart.

She felt that she had never been afraid of death.

She is a person who grew up in the dark alleys of Baihuaya, and she has been accustomed to the so-called life and death since she was a child. That's nothing more than the person you were talking and laughing with the day before, and the next day disappeared into this alley.

In a few days, he will be a soaking rotting corpse again, and he will be fished up from the river.

Dead is dead, no matter how beautiful a person is, after death is just a pile of bad meat.

And those who flattered you in every way before their deaths and did everything to make you smile, they can turn their heads and throw themselves into the arms of others.

Only being alive itself is real.

When something is eaten, it is eaten;

The baby is rushed, it is rushed;

You have enjoyed the joy of this moment, and the fun of this moment is yours......

And all the good and bad names behind him, after two or three months, are like rain dripping into the middle of a lake, nothing will be left, and no one will remember.

But at this moment, Lin Jieyu suddenly felt a little cold, she couldn't say why, she only felt that Bai Ling came with wind and rain in front of her, and there was something hidden in it that frightened her.

Bai Ling also heard Jin Zhi's scream, her eyes inadvertently glanced in the direction of Lin Jieyu, and then looked back at the palace people in front of her.

"What exactly did Jin Zhi say?" Bai Ling asked.

"She said that this matter will make a big fuss, and the Holy Lord will be furious, if I don't follow what she taught, she will definitely punish my nine clans afterwards......"

Concubine Ning behind the screen secretly gritted her teeth and said softly, "There is only one person in this world who can punish the nine clans!" ”

"Did she command anything else?" Bai Ling asked.

"Yes." The palace man replied softly, "She also ordered one thing not to be said." ”

"What is it?"

"The cat in the flower garden was specially brought from Qinyuan when there was no one outside in the afternoon, and the slave wanted to catch a few more, but the cat was keen, and finally only caught a big raccoon flower and a small three flowers......

……

In this way, Bai Ling completed the questioning of the four people in turn.

The original confessions were basically overturned, and all the key information spearheads were reversed, from the treasure to the golden branch.

"I should have asked everything." Bai Ling looked towards the screen, "Is there anything else for the emperor and the ladies to add?" ”

Although there are still many details that are still unclear, there is no doubt about one thing - tonight's oolong of the paulownia puppet is completely a farce directed and acted by itself.

Concubine Ning looked at Lin Jieyu with a sneer.

Tonight the winner is decided.

After a moment of silence, Bai Ling said softly, "If not, the emperor and the ladies can go back to the main hall first." I need a little more time to wake them up from hypnosis. ”

"Just call us in front of us." Ning Concubine looked at Zhang Shenxian on the side, "It's not bad for a while." ”

Sure enough, Emperor Jianxi didn't move, he leaned forward slightly to watch Bai Ling's movements, almost staring.

Bai Ling was still sitting in the chair opposite the four, and his voice returned to its original calm.

"Then I'll count from the beginning, and with each number, your consciousness will be clear, and when I count to one, you'll open your eyes, you'll be conscious, and your body will be relaxed and comfortable......"

Bai Ling's guidance was still soft and slow.

With each number, she gives a short hint similar to "you're getting more awake" and "your body is returning to a normal feeling."

When the final number "ten" came out, all four opened their eyes at the same time.

Several people looked at Bai Ling with a complicated expression in front of them with clear eyes.

Almost moments later, each of them bounced out of their chairs and kowtowed vigorously to the big man behind the screen with tears in their eyes—what had happened during the hypnotic process, they had all remembered since they were awake.

The screen was removed by Huang Chongde, and the faces of Emperor Jianxi and several maidens were revealed.

"Come on," the corners of Emperor Jianxi's mouth twitched slightly in annoyance, "Put these—"

"Your Majesty," Bai Ling bowed and interrupted Emperor Jianxi's words, "The minister has something to say." ”

Emperor Jianxi lowered his head slightly, but his gaze shot out like an arrow, "Do you have to say it now?" ”

"I have to say it now." Bai Ling looked at Emperor Jianxi's toes and said softly.

Emperor Jianxi took a deep breath, and there was already obvious anger in his voice, "You say." ”

"I beg the emperor to give me an order to hand over all these four palace people to me to dispose of."

Silent.

“…… You want me to spare them. ”

"Yes." Bai Ling's gaze gradually moved upward, "Your Majesty, you don't care about doing good, and you don't have filial piety in a poor family; Regardless of the evil deeds, the heart is ...... There are few people in the world who are perfect. ”

One addition:

The role of hypnosis in this episode is exaggerated.

Although it is true that people in a state of hypnosis will be more likely to follow the instructions of others because they have let down their defenses, there is a bottom line to this compliance. Once this bottom line is exceeded, even in a state of hypnosis, people will refuse instructions and choose to protect themselves.

It is very difficult for hypnosis to do things that go against one's own principles - such as murder, suicide, or self-disclosure, as in the plot.

Therefore, if this scenario happened in reality, then these palace people would not be as obedient as the story says.

In reality, hypnosis is more used to relieve anxiety, reduce pain and treat addiction, and it is a very rigorous and safe process, so if you have the opportunity to experience it in the future, you don't need to be afraid of it.
