Chapter 90: The interrogation was fruitless
Nalan Zhi told him not to talk nonsense and hurry up to follow.
Peace had to follow.
When he arrived at the dungeon, Nalan Zhi let Ping An guard outside the dungeon and went in by himself. Ping An couldn't persuade him, so he had to watch Nalan Zhi go in alone.
Ming Huang's figure walked into the gloomy dungeon, and in the dungeon, the killer was guarded by two people, his hands and feet were chained, his mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, and there were several wounds on his body that had been cut with a sword.
"Your Majesty! How did you come here in person? The two guards saluted Nalan Zhi, they didn't expect the emperor to interrogate this prisoner in person, they didn't expect that this prisoner still had a big face, and it was said that he was going to assassinate the emperor's favorite concubine Liu.
"Well, I want to see what kind of person is so bold and dares to assassinate in the palace! Take the strip of cloth out of his mouth. Nalan Zhi pinned his hands behind his back and looked straight at the tied assassin.
"Say, why did you assassinate Concubine Liu, who instructed you to assassinate her?!"
The killer twisted his head: "No one instructed me, and it wasn't Concubine Liu that I wanted to assassinate, it was you who I wanted to assassinate!" β
"Shut up! You dare to be disrespectful to the emperor, you want to die early! When one of the guards heard him insult Nalan Zhi like this, he whipped the killer twice, and immediately a piece of flesh cracked, and blood slowly flowed out.
Nalan Zhi looked at the killer who had been whipped twice, and did not blame the guards.
He said to the killer, "Do you think I'm a fool? You rushed at Concubine Liu with so much force, obviously you wanted to take her life! Don't think you can't do anything if you don't say it! β
"Hmph, I said I wanted to assassinate you! I don't know who Concubine Liu is at all, come if you have anything, I've said everything I should say! "The killer is the one who insists that the person he wants to kill is the emperor.
Nalan Zhi felt very strange, he and Ben didn't feel their killing intent towards themselves, but they kept emphasizing that the person they wanted to kill was themselves.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, he said to the guard, "Since he doesn't want to speak, let him take off his chin!" Shut up again. β
"Yes, Your Majesty." The two of them immediately started to work.
After seeing the killer's jaw removed, Nalan Zhi walked out of the dungeon, and Ping An hurriedly greeted him, he had been waiting outside for a while, wanting to go in to see the situation, but he was afraid that the emperor would blame him for disobeying his will, so he had been waiting anxiously outside.
After Nalan Zhi came out, he originally wanted to take Ping An to see Liu Ruoxin in the Green Shade Palace, but he thought that Liu Ruoxin's eyes were very apprehensive when he looked at Dongfang City, and he was a little jealous, she had never looked at herself like that, and she was not so distressed when she was injured, Nalan Zhi felt that she was angry, so she turned around and went back to the imperial study halfway.
Ping'an looked at Nalan Zhi, who was halfway and suddenly turned around and returned to the imperial study, he didn't know why his emperor didn't go to the Green Shade Palace, and he didn't know why he got angry, so he had to shake his head, thinking that the holy will was unpredictable.
On the other side, in the Qiuluan Palace, Ling Tiange retired from all the palace maids and stayed alone in the main room, anxiously waiting for something.
"Squeak-" The door of the Qiuluan Hall was pushed open, and Ling Tiange looked at it, it turned out to be his maid Yanran walking briskly.
She hurriedly asked, "How's the situation?" β
Yan Ran returned to the hall and shook her head gently at Ling Tiange: "I didn't hurt Concubine Liu, it's all that Dongfang City, he blocked a sword for Concubine Liu, otherwise Concubine Liu wouldn't be able to dodge this time." β
Ling Tiange knew that the assassination had failed, but he didn't know if anyone would suspect her.
She asked Yanran in a low voice, "Is there any handle left?" β
"There shouldn't be anything left behind, but master, some of us have been captured alive and imprisoned in the dungeon." Yan Ran was afraid that the wall had ears, so she whispered in Ling Tiange's ear.
"The slave maid also heard that the emperor personally went to interrogate him in the dungeon." Yan Ran wasn't sure if the emperor would suspect them.
When Ling Tiange heard the news that the killer had been arrested, he was a little anxious: "This killer can't stay, this palace will send someone to the prison to get rid of him now." β
After speaking, Ling Tiange went to contact the killer again, and after waiting for two teas to get the news that the killer had been killed, Ling Tiange's heart was relieved.
In this way, there is no proof of death, and it doesn't matter if you find your head, and if you tell the emperor that you have been falsely accused, there is no proof of death.
After Ping'an knew that the killer had been killed, he hurriedly went to tell Nalan to stop: "Your Majesty, someone went into the dungeon, knocked out the guards, and killed the killer. β
"Hmm." Naranzhi said he knew.
Ping'an looked at Nalan Zhi's calm appearance, and was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, do you know that the killer will be wiped out?" β
"Yes." I guessed it, so I wasn't surprised.
In the Green Shade Templeβ
"Shen Yue, you go to Dongfang City to visit him and see how he is doing now. He was so badly injured in order to save me, but it was inconvenient for me to visit him, so you could go for me so that I could feel at ease. Liu Ruoxin is very worried about Dongfang City, after all, he died in his last life because he saved himself, and he doesn't know if the situation will change in this life, and I hope that the tragedy will not happen.
"Yes, my subordinates will go." Shen Yue also knew how critical the situation was at that time, and he was very grateful to Dongfang City for saving his master.
He hurriedly went to the residence of Dongfang City, and he didn't want to, but he met Nalan Zhi halfway.
Nalan Zhi also planned to take a look at Dongfang City, and he was actually grateful to Dongfang City for saving Concubine Liu.
"Shen Yue, where are you going?" Nalan stopped Shen Yue.
"Go back to the emperor, and my subordinates will go down to visit Dongfang City." Shen Yue saw that it was the emperor who asked herself, so she answered truthfully.
"You want to see him yourself?" Nalan stopped thinking that there wasn't much intersection between Shen Yue and Dongfang City.
"My subordinates were ordered by Concubine Liu to visit Dongfang City."
Hearing Shen Yue's words, knowing that it was Liu Ruoxin who ordered him to visit Dongfang City, Nalan Zhi felt a little sullen in his heart: "She cares about Dongfang City." β
He waved his hand a little irritably and let Shen Yue leave: "Okay, okay, you can go quickly." Go back early and explain the situation to Concubine Liu, don't let her worry, and don't tell her that you met me. β
And he himself returned to the imperial study with peace.
After Liu Ruoxin asked Shen Yue to visit Dongfang City, she told Wanqiu that she wanted to be quiet, so she let her retreat, entered the bedroom by herself, and sat on her bed, she really didn't expect that Dongfang City would be injured so seriously again because of saving herself, she saw him injured but couldn't do anything, she couldn't let the last tragedy repeat.
She really can't forget how Nalan Zhi gradually ignored herself, she can't forget Dongfang Cheng's tragic death to save herself, and she can't forget how her father and son were killed.
In this life, I want revenge, and I want to protect the people around me. Let those who have hurt themselves taste death.
However, now that he has been in a passive state, he can only follow the actions of Ling Tiange and the others to take the moves, which catches him off guard and makes it a little difficult to parry.
She felt like she was in a pack of wolves, and if she wasn't careful, she would be eaten and her body would be completely destroyed.
Liu Ruoxin thought that the rebirth in this life was to take revenge, and he must win step by step. Concubine Chen has been eliminated, and the next ones are Lin Yunwan and Ling Tiange, these two people are really hateful, they pushed everything on their heads, and they ended up with infinite glory, and then Nalan Zhi and the Queen Mother, these two are more difficult to deal with.
Then the next one will deal with Lin Yunwan first.
It just so happened that Nalanzhi recently found that there were fine works around him, and he has been looking for fine works. Liu Ruoxin thought that in the previous life, Lin Yunwan was a fine work of the Chu State, because Nalan Zhi began to doubt her, and because she was too popular, she was framed by her, and it was because of her that she had been carrying the reputation of fine work until she died.
Thinking about it, Lin Yunwan wants to act, instead of passively accepting it, then it is better to take the initiative to help Nalan Zhi find her out and let him know what the true face of the person next to his pillow is.
He is really pathetic, the women he likes are so ruthless, and they are inconsistent. I am even more pathetic, I don't have the eyesight to fall in love with such a hypocritical man, and share his love with such a group of women!
So, she sat down in a chair, picked up a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and put it in an envelope.
"Late autumn, I've entered for a while, and I'm looking for you in this palace." Liu Ruoxin knew that the people around him were also on guard.
