Chapter 90: Whipping
The Imperial Prison, located in a secluded place outside the Imperial Palace, was personally supervised by the Emperor, and was mainly under the jurisdiction and trial of cases involving the Emperor's relatives and important ministers.
Yun Jin never imagined that one day, he would step into such a place with extremely heavy yin qi.
Although the prisoners are all of a certain status, the entire prison is neat and tidy, and some of the cells are even more imposing than ordinary inns - but after all, it is a prison, and torture to extract confessions is always an ominous place, and it is not a place where ordinary people can stay.
Yun Hao personally sent her in, far away, pointing to a single room, and stretched out his hand to signal her to go in-
"I didn't treat him badly, did I?" The emperor smiled self-deprecatingly, but there was no smile in his eyes, looking at her, his eyes seemed gentle, but they revealed an irrefutable imperial domineering, "Sister, you remember, be ruthless!" If you are reluctant, there is no shortage of experienced cool officials here, brother, and there are more means to make this high god fall into the mortal dust! ”
“……”
Yun Jin's breath stagnated, this brother's ruthless methods, she had only heard of it, and the one standing in front of her at the moment was simply a terrible Yan Jun!
Clutching her stomach, she took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open towards the dark room.
The cell was a special treatment, except for a bed, but it was empty, and the man's hands and feet were hanging...... Long chains bound his limbs, limiting him to a very limited range of movement.
The people of Youzhou City are afraid that they will spend their entire lives, and they can't imagine that their fairy-like Zhenbei Hou will have such an embarrassing day!
That's right, even if he was injured and dying in the past, the man never let himself show an embarrassing posture in front of people, and he looked calm and relaxed, as if everything was always under his control! But this time, what did she see?
The man lay on his side on the thin bed, not even a mattress, the heavy chains rose and fell slightly with his breathing, and the deep color set off his fair complexion as bright as a star in the night.
The emaciated body, which had not yet healed from serious injuries, was getting weaker and weaker at the moment, its silver-white clothes were stained, and there were more obvious blood marks oozing out from the shoulders and legs...... The whole body is slightly curled up, and it looks quite pitiful.
And what surprised her the most was the look on the man's face-
He looked asleep, his brows were still tightly locked, and his haggard face had lost his lustre, like an ordinary man who had been tortured by difficult things, and was worried about the livelihood of his family.
In the blink of an eye, the brow was stretched, the long eyelashes and the graceful bridge of the nose were cast a faint shadow on the jade white cheeks, and it looked like a child with nightmares, simple and harmless, waiting for someone to comfort him......
Tell yourself hard that the man in front of him is already someone else's husband, and the two young ladies of the Black Feather Clan may be eagerly looking forward to him going out and returning to the Northern Desert to get married!
Yun Jin hardened his heart, and on a cold day, the soft whip he was holding in his hand almost sweated-
With a flick of the light whip, it fell on the man!
The sound of "pop-" really scared herself!
The royal brother is quite good at studying all kinds of weapons, and whatever treasure he takes out is also a sharp weapon that cannot be underestimated.
Just like this soft whip that he forced into her palm, it looked small and delicate, so that the person who whipped it had no strength at all, but this whip was full of great power!
She even heard the sound of skin peeling......
Naturally, the man was woken up.
He probably thought it was a cool official who was interrogating in prison, and his brows furrowed again, looking impatient.
However, when those narrow phoenix eyes slowly opened, what fell into their eyes was the weakest and noblest eldest princess in North Vietnam, and it was also the most undesirable to appear in-
The contrast was obviously a surprise to him.
"Jin'er?" He whispered, like in a dream, "Why are you here, this cold place, hurry up!" ”
"On behalf of Beiyue, this palace has come to ask Zhenbei Hou a few questions...... "The hand holding the whip trembled slightly, but Yun Jin's face did not have the girlish obsession and unconcealable admiration when he saw him in the past, "Zhenbei Hou Fang went to Beiyue, and there was a murder in Jianzhang City, the deceased's surname is Jia, and Zhenbei Hou can see it?" ”
"What are you talking about, Jin'er?"
This time, the man seemed to be a little more confused, thinking that he had really fallen into some strange dream, he even rubbed the corners of his eyes, and stretched out his fingers to stroke his forehead.
"This palace is here to try your case on behalf of the imperial brother, can the Marquis of Zhenbei understand?"
Yun Jin's always gentle voice is extremely cold at the moment, revealing the majesty of the royal nobles.
Although the edict prison is not as dark as an ordinary prison, it is no less eerie than any prison in the world.
It seemed that the sound of pleading and howling from other cells could be faintly heard, which made people feel cold in their hearts......
met in such an environment, a former couple, one with a puzzled face, and the other with a cold face.
"What does the princess have to say, though."
Chu Liyuan let go of the fingers holding his forehead, straightened his slightly embarrassed clothes, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing his piercing smile, Yun Jin frowned, "Does the Marquis of Zhenbei admit the crime of murder?" ”
"Murder? There are not many people in the world who can make Chu kill...... Let me think about it, in the Frontier Inn in the Southlands, it seems that one of them was killed in order to save my sister. ”
Chu Liyuan's smile deepened, and his phoenix eyes glanced lazily at the woman's cold little face, "I don't know if Beiyue cares?" ”
Hearing his so-called "clan sister", the picture of his unbridled lingering with men suddenly came to mind......
Yun Jin secretly squeezed his palms tighter, forced himself to erase those embarrassing pictures again, and said in a cold voice: "What happened in the south, Beiyue will not pursue it, but there is a death in Jianzhang City, I am afraid that Zhenbei Hou will not be able to get rid of it easily." ”
"What if I say no?"
"Don't forget the Marquis of Zhenbei, when the Sakura National Palace is also present - except for the Marquis of Zhenbei, I am afraid there is no second person in the world who dares to poison Gongzi Jia."
Yun Jin still looked solemn, and Feng Yi was majestic.
Staring at her beautiful little face with a condensed expression, and gradually turning his gaze down to her slender hand holding the whip, Chu Liyuan's smile became more and more intriguing, "Since Chu is in prison, he is ready to enjoy the prison of your North Vietnam, but I don't want to, but I even bother the eldest princess to come to the trial in person." I never thought that Her Royal Highness the princess also played the role of a witness......"
Listening to his gentle tone and calm words, Yun Jin's heart suddenly tightened.
She knew better than anyone why he had punished the man that day.
It's exactly what happened at the Southland Inn.
As the bitter master, she should have testified for him to get away with it, but now she is biting back in front of him, which is really shameless!
"The Marquis of Zhenbei relied on his martial arts to build the world, so he killed innocents indiscriminately at the feet of the Son of Heaven, treating human life as a mustard, and treating law and discipline as nothing......" As if reading out the crime of a strange prisoner, Yun Jinqiang was in good spirits, and he still looked upright, without any joke, "Chu Liyuan, can you plead guilty?" ”
"Innocent?" The corners of the man's mouth were still smiling, but his eyes looked a little lonely, and he lowered his eyes and looked at the cold ground of the empty cell, "It's very interesting for you to read this crime yourself......
"You just have to answer this palace, is it a pin of guilt?"
Yun Jin's eyes were open, completely devoid of all the caution he had once had in front of him.
At this moment, she is no longer the woman who regards him as heaven and loves him crazy. She is more like she is indignant for what she has done, and it is like she has long forgotten the past, and she just wants to make a break at the moment-
Maybe she's really happy when he's dead?
The self-deprecation in the man's languid eyes was even stronger.
After all, the knife she stabbed with her own hands was also merciless at all...... It's ridiculous to think about it, every time he saves her, he gets such a decisive knife, but the last time it was stabbed into the flesh, this time, it's more like he wants to pierce his heart.
"What if I don't answer?" He sat upright, the chains on his body rattling.
If it weren't for the sturdy iron cables, Yun Jin would have thought that the man had already attacked her.
Although he couldn't see the gloom on his face, Yun Jin had long been by his side for so long, and he had already figured out the signs of a man's anger. And this time he annoyed her, apparently more than ever, for more reason than ever.
She can only continue to be this cheeky villain, and she can't give up halfway.
The whip in his hand waved lightly, and with a crisp sound, the man's sleeve was intact, but a red mark gradually oozed out......
"Jin'er, it's okay for you to annoy me...... Don't hurt yourself. ”
Chu Liyuan frowned slightly, his eyes swept over her chest that was heaving because of the exertion, and then the pregnant belly that could not be concealed under the cloak, "Yun Hao, that madman, is indeed worthy of his reputation - don't follow him to mess around." ”
"Don't talk about my imperial brother!"
Another whip fell, and the once gentle and weak little woman became an irrefutable and delicate princess at this moment, "You always look down on others, but in fact, how good can you be?" You are not only careless of human life, but also a nasty billet who sells fame, shamelessness and lust, and is ruined by gold and jade! ”
This series of accusations was exported, and even Yun Jin himself didn't know how much sincerity he was hiding. Perhaps, she has always hated him in her heart. When the hatred was relieved by that knife, he made a marriage contract with her again, which gave her more reason to annoy him and resent him, and treat him ruthlessly!
"Did you hear about the Black Feather Clan?"
Chu Liyuan turned his face slightly, looked at his shoulders oozing blood, and looked at Yun Jin's eyes, with a hint of deep meaning, "That's just an expedient measure, and those two sisters ......"
"Shut up!" With a scolding from the woman, another loud whip fell, which fell back to the man's unguarded chest, "This palace knows that women are just a relationship for Zhenbei Hou, and by the way, they are still a tool for venting...... I don't need you to tell me, this palace also knows that those two sisters are very beautiful, and they are the most beautiful pearls in the entire north......"
"Don't talk about Jin'er."
Chu Liyuan interrupted her half-truthful rebuke, "You...... Or what does your imperial brother want me to do? ”
"If you don't want to be convicted and punished, take your two beautiful wives and beautiful relatives back to your Youzhou City, and never set foot in North Vietnam again." The last whip fell, Yun Jin threw the whip away, and turned away without any nostalgia.
