Chapter XVII: Confession
The guard didn't have the slightest pity for the weak Mu Lingling, put her hands behind her back, pressed them against the wall, tied Mu Lingling into a zongzi with a thick rope, and quietly sent her into the dark room.
Mu Lingling was already a thief, and then she was caught in the dark room, and Mu Lingling, who was in the dark environment, was terrified, like Xiangxue, she was sent to the dark room and tied to the cross, struggling to struggle and unable to move.
A voice suddenly came out of the darkness, making Mu Lingling scream loudly, the owner of the voice rubbed his abused ears, pulled a rag and stuffed it into Mu Lingling's mouth, and said to her expressionlessly: "Don't waste your efforts, you have done something wrong, no one can get out well when you come here." ”
After Mu Lingling screamed, her brain was running normally, and by her voice, she knew that this was the Zhan guard beside the prince, and she shouted in a trembling voice: "Zhan Guard, is it Zhan Guard?" I'm the prince's concubine, how can you commit a crime and tie me up to such a place, aren't you afraid of being punished by the prince? ”
The corners of Zhan Guard's mouth twitched, and he looked coldly at the woman in front of him who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, he didn't know what kind of courage could make her scream justifiably at such a point.
The night vision of a person who practices martial arts is much better than that of a normal person, even in complete darkness, the Zhan guard can behave the same as in the daytime, his fingers are slicing over the dazzling torture instruments, and he stays on a soft whip with thorns, which is a good thing, the Zhan guard picked up the soft whip, and waved it with his right hand, "Bang-"
The completely unrestrained whip of the Zhan guards landed on Mu Lingling's body and instantly opened the flesh, leaving a bloody whip mark. Mu Lingling was even more blinded by this sudden whip, and screamed in pain, "Ah... You, Zhan Guard, how dare you hit me! I'm the prince's woman! ”
Zhan's guard rolled his eyes speechlessly, and another whip fell, "I advise you to know each other, tell me honestly, did you poison the princess?" Where did the poison come from? If you don't want to suffer, you'd better be honest! ”
Remove the rag that blocked Mu Lingling's mouth and wait for her to 'turn herself in'.
Mu Lingling saw that his words had no effect on the Zhan guards at all, and struggled with great fear, the pain on his body showed that he would not show mercy to him at all, she was now like a fish on the board, with a knife hanging over her head, which would fall down at any time. Under the huge fright, Mu Lingling cried out with a 'wow'.
didn't wait for valuable words, it was still making people's heads hurt, and the Zhan guards were not polite, their right hands danced quickly a few times, and a few more whips fell on Mu Lingling's body.
But obviously, Mu Lingling is a person who doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, he doesn't say anything, and he starts to scold people when his mouth is not blocked, "Ah, you bold minion, you dare to beat me!" When I see the prince, I will definitely let the prince teach you a good lesson, if you beat me, I will pay it back tenfold..."
The guards turned a deaf ear to her shouts.
In the main room, Jin Shaoming, who was dedicated to taking care of Mu Lingyun, received the news that the guards had found someone, and after waiting for a long time, they didn't wait for them to pry open Mu Lingling's mouth, and they couldn't wait for him to come to the dark room in person.
As soon as Jin Shaoming came, the brazier in the dark room was lit with fire, and the entire dark room was not so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.
The sudden bright light, the stimulated Mu Lingling closed her eyes, adapted to it for a while, and slowly opened it, the first thing Mu Lingling saw was not Jin Shaoming, but the torture tools hanging on the walls in the dark room, which made her more frightened than not seeing, seeing Jin Shaoming's arrival, she shouted happily: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, help, the guards dare to lynch me!" ”
Jin Shaoming walked into the dark room and smelled the smell of blood first, and when he saw Mu Lingling, he already had a lot of bloody whip marks on his body, ignored her words, and said coldly: "Since a soft whip can't make her speak, let's change it, there are so many things here, if she wants to try it, let her try them all, this king doesn't believe that her mouth can be closed tightly!" ”
Zhan's guards received the order, threw the soft whip in his hand to the side, and picked another torture instrument for Mu Lingling, and pricked his nails with needles.
As the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the nail cracks are the most tender and fragile places, and when you pierce them with a needle, the pain is a hundred times more painful than a whip on your body.
Mu Lingling saw the Zhan guards walking towards her with a box of needles that were much thicker than normal silver needles, and she trembled uncontrollably, screaming loudly in fear: "What are you doing... What are you doing... Get out of here... Ahh
Mu Lingling thought that she was waiting for a savior, but she didn't want it to be a life talisman, the soft whip on her body was the pain of flesh and skin, and if all the torture tools in the dark room were used on her, she would not be able to stand the collapse mentally alone.
Jin Shaoming sat not far from the place where Mu Lingling was executed, took a sip of a cup of tea in his hand, and personally supervised the Zhan guards to torture her, occasionally interjecting a few words, all of which were disgusted that the Zhan guards were too light and the women were kind.
Before two hours, Mu Lingling couldn't stand it anymore, if his weak body hadn't been tied to the shelf, he would have collapsed to the ground, "I can't stand it, I'll move!" I'm all recruited! ”
Jin Shaoming raised his eyebrows, how much backbone could he have when he entered the dark room, and gave the Zhan guard a look, and the Zhan guard immediately stopped and poured a scoop of cold water on Mu Lingling's face, making her sober and sober.
The water flowed to the wound, and Mu Lingling, who was originally in poor spirits, immediately recovered, and said honestly: "The concubine body is a prescription to see the princess's pregnancy reaction, and ask the experienced grandmother in the palace for advice, and the concubine said that it is a home remedy for the body, and the concubine body really doesn't know that thing is poisonous!" ”
Jin Shaoming's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were full of danger, obviously he didn't believe Mu Lingling's words, and asked: "If you don't tell the truth by this time, you will definitely not be able to find out this king, right?" ”
Mu Lingling gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his body, and weakly pulled out a miserable white self-deprecating smile and said: "Lord Wang, what the concubine said is true, there is no half a lie, the prince has never believed in the concubine!" ”
Jin Shaoming glanced at her with disdain, and at a glance he felt that he had seen something dirty, and he couldn't avoid it at a glance, and said with disgust: "What do you have that is worthy of the king's trust, and you don't know how to repent when you die!" ”
gave the Zhan guards a look, and Mu Lingling's miserable screams sounded in the dark room again. Jin Shaoming's patience had run out, and he left without looking at Mu Lingling, and dropped a sentence before leaving: "Give her these toys to have a good time, don't play people to death!" ”
The Zhan guards patted their chests and promised Jin Shaoming that they would not kill people: "Lord Wang, you can rest assured!" ”
Seeing Jin Shaoming's figure leave the dark room, the Zhan guards began to linger around the torture tools in the dark room again, to be honest, the prince is indifferent to fame and fortune on weekdays, and he doesn't cause trouble, he rarely can use the dark room, he hasn't played with many torture tools here, this is a good opportunity.
Mu Lingling was terrified when she saw that the guards were about to torture herself, she didn't expect that it was designed to be good, Xiangxue had just been put back to Mu Lingyun's side, Mu Lingyun was poisoned again, and all the suspicions were concentrated on Xiangxue's body, but she didn't understand which link went wrong, and she was arrested as soon as she got out of the drug.
Enduring all kinds of torture by the guards, Mu Lingling was in pain at the same time, and at the same time, Mu Lingyun became more and more resentful in his heart, if it weren't for her, he would not have suffered such torture at all, his hands were clenched into fists, and his nails cut through the flesh and went deep into his palms, dripping bright red blood.
In the evening, the Zhan guards changed their clothes and went to see Jin Shaoming, the smell of blood on his body was too strong, he didn't dare to get too close, took out the oil paper bag with a little powder left, and said: "Lord Wang, Mu Shi still insists that the poison was given by the palace grandmother, and this is the medicine bag that she didn't have time to destroy when she poisoned it today." ”
Jin Shaoming had a gloomy face and said, "This Mu Lingling doesn't have that kind of brain, find a way to invite the valley master of the Medicine King Valley out of the mountain, be sure to find out the source of this poison!" ”
"Yes." The Zhan guards have been by the side of the prince for many years, and it is rare to see him so undisguised anger, so he silently took the errand and withdrew.
When there was no one beside him, Jin Shaoming slammed his fist on the table, leaving a concave mark, he knew very well in his heart that Mu Lingling, who had always been silent, was just a chess piece, and the real murderer was hidden very deeply, he must find out who was behind it and avenge the children of the two of them.
As soon as Jin Shaoming walked out of the study, his henchman who had been waiting outside the study for a while stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, the princess is awake!" ”
Hearing that Mu Lingyun woke up, Jin Shaoming's mind became flustered, and he walked quickly towards the main room in three steps and two steps, fortunately, the study was not very far away from the main room, standing at the door of the main room, Jin Shaoming's eager footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes were full of struggle, he didn't know how to face Mu Lingyun who lost his child.
Xiangxue came out of the house with water, bumped into Jin Shaoming head-on, was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Lord Wang, why don't you go in when you come?" ”
After the previous torture in the dark room, Xiangxue was a little stunned by Jin Shaoming, seeing Jin Shaoming's face with a complicated face, Xiangxue lowered her head and left Jin Shaoming's existence quickly.
As soon as Xiangxue left, a weak bass came out of the room: "Yutang~~"
Hearing Mu Lingyun's call, Jin Shaoming took a deep breath, walked into the main room, and saw Mu Lingyun leaning weakly on the head of the bed, hurriedly walked over, hugged Mu Lingyun into his arms, and said pityingly: "Yun'er, you are not feeling well, just lie down, why are you still up!" ”
Mu Lingyun had just woken up, Xiangxue gave her water to moisten her throat, and her words were still hoarse and weak, she grabbed Jin Shaoming's big hand, frowned and asked tightly: "Yutang, our child, isn't the child?" ”
When Mu Lingyun heard Xiangxue's words, her heart sank to the bottom, she knew Jin Shaoming, if there was nothing, he would not stand outside and dare not come in to see her, but she still didn't want to believe it, and still held on to a glimmer of hope, so she asked him.
Jin Shaoming saw her touching her stomach with one hand, and asked her grief-stricken if her child was gone, and suddenly felt that her heart had been dug out, torn fiercely, and fell in deep pain, but she didn't dare to deceive her, and nodded invisibly.
Mu Lingyun was observant, she saw Jin Shaoming's nodding action, she was shocked, and the whole person fell backwards. Jin Shaoming quickly hugged her steadily, avoiding her from intimate contact with the big bed.
The huge stimulation made Mu Lingyun, whose body was still weak, unable to accept the truth for a while, and fainted in Jin Shaoming's arms in a moment, so frightened that Jin Shaoming shouted: "Xiangxue, go and call the imperial doctor over!" ”
