51. Clearing the fog

I woke up in a chaos, there were many people around the bed, I looked at the anxious Zhihong and Yunchun, and the haggard Bo Heng holding my hand.

Zhihong was the first to see my awakening, shouting that Niangniang was awake, and everyone rushed over.

"Yunzhi..." I could still feel a dull pain in my lower abdomen, and my voice was hoarse.

Bo Heng's eyes were full of distress, "Mrs. Wang and the children are fine, Xiao Qi can rest assured." With that, he touched my head affectionately, and I turned my face awkwardly.

Bo Heng's hand hung in the air awkwardly, and Yun Chun saw this and relieved him and said that Niangniang had just woken up, and it was not too late to come to visit after a few days.

Bo Heng knew that I was still angry, so he sighed and left silently.

Yun Chun helped me to lie up, blowing a hot decoction and carefully handing it to my mouth: "Niangniang, Your Majesty has guarded you for two whole days, and you refuse to sleep." ”

Hmm... In the mouth of the decoction, a bitter taste spread, and my spirit slowly recovered. "Has the palace maid who wants to assassinate Yunzhi been caught?"

Yun Chun nodded, "That palace maid was hit by your knife, and you left a few inches, so she is currently a paralyzed waste and has been locked up in Tingwei." ”

Yun Chun sighed, "It's just that person who won't say anything." ”

I snorted coldly, and I had already guessed in my heart, and I was ready to deal with those tricky things.

In the past few days of cultivation, Yan'er always secretly came to see me. Carefully learning how Yun Zhi coaxed her on weekdays, stroked my wound and said that the pain flew away.

I looked at Yan'er's cute appearance, and I felt a lot of comfort. Yun Zhi was sitting in confinement, and it was inconvenient to move around, so I stuffed all kinds of precious medicinal materials into her.

I was taken aback just after the production, and I hope that nothing will be left behind.

I got out of bed and walked around today, and the wound was basically healed, so I made an excuse and went to Tingwei.

The last time I came to Tingwei, it was when Concubine Chen rebelled against Uncle You, and this time I still haven't changed much.

is also like the purgatory on earth as rumored by the outside world, wailing endlessly.

I looked at the red, the girl who came all the way with me. In the past, if she had seen such a scene, she would have screamed in fright, but now she walked without squinting, but it was much more solemn.

Soon I arrived at the cell where the felons were kept, and I took out the token I had prepared and slowly opened the door.

The woman's arms were held high by chains, and her feet were dangling from the ground. His head drooped weakly, and his body was full of traces of torture.

Brother walked up to me at some point, and suddenly said: "When I heard that you were assassinated, my father was furious, and the eldest lady almost fainted, but fortunately you were not seriously injured." Otherwise, this woman would not have such a full beard and tail today. ”

I looked at Brother Ah with some amusement, "Brother Ah has been quite a bit of a living Hades recently, no wonder there are no rumors from the outside world that there is no prisoner that you Sun Qiyu can't triocate." ”

Brother ignored my teasing and said with a smile: "I know you like to do it yourself, so I specially kept it, and you can do it yourself." ”

After that, the elder brother walked away and took the guards with him. I looked at his back with understanding, the girl who grew up in the Sun family's thousands of favors was injured, and I am afraid that the punishment of her brother will only be heavier.

The woman hung lifeless, and the wind was blowing and fluttering slightly, and I almost suspected that she was dead.

I asked for basic information before I came, but it was still very little.

"I heard, your name is Xia?" I looked at the woman in a circle, "It's a good name, but why did you do the assassination of a noble lady?" ”

Hearing Xia hear someone mention himself, he raised his head indifferently. The appearance is also very delicate, and I was too anxious to remember what she looked like that day.

A pair of Danfeng eyes glanced at me disdainfully, "Heh, it's a pity that I couldn't pull you to die together." You don't want to ask anything out of my mouth, it can't be! ”

I pulled out the bone knife and picked her pointed chin. "What a faithful servant, but even if you don't say it, I know who instructed you. It doesn't really matter whether you say it or not. ”

Listening to Xia twist her head, the blade of the bone knife slashed at her jaw. "Then what are you doing when you come today? Could it be that they just want to humiliate me? ”

I crossed my hands and looked at Tingxia, who was still at the end of the crossbow. "Yes and no. Because I knew from the beginning that your target was not Madame Wang at all, but at me. ”

Listening to the subtle changes in Xia's eyes, I continued to chase after the victory. "If your target from the beginning was Madame Wang, then even if I stop you, you will continue to assassinate her at any cost."

I raised my eyebrows, "But you didn't hesitate to turn around and stab me, the assassination of Mrs. Wang is just a pretense, the real assassin is me, right?" ”

Listening to Xia biting her lip and not making a sound. But I know that silence is sometimes the best way to acknowledge.

I took out a bottle of green liquid from my arms, pinched Tingxia's jaw and poured it in.

Listening to Xia's violent cough, the medicine had already flowed down the esophagus. "You're trying to use medicine to force me to say, I'll tell you, it's impossible!"

I looked at the bottle in my hand with interest, "This palace has seen the power of Gu worm art in Baiyue, and before leaving, the high priest gave me a bottle, called Heart Devouring Gu." ”

I smiled and looked at Tingxia, who was not afraid of death, "I heard that when this Gu attacked, thousands of small worms rose from the stomach and gnawed on the internal organs of the Gu victims. ”

"Ten thousand insects devour the heart, until all the internal organs of that person are eaten, and then to the bones, and finally the person is only a soft and collapsed skin."

My eyes lit up, "Oh yes, you'll be able to make a good drum out of your skin." Hongu loves to dance, and I heard that the drums made in this way have the most beautiful sound. ”

Listening to Xia's eyes staring at me with resentment, her trapped hands kept struggling to break free from the chains.

"I won't say it, you're dreaming!"

I clapped my hands and said with admiration: "What a good dead man, but unfortunately he followed the wrong person." Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, that Gu attack is extremely fast. I want to... You should feel it. ”

Listening to Xia's facial features began to distort, and his mouth kept making a muffled sound of pain. The body writhed uncontrollably, and the struggle was so loud that the chains crackled.

I slowly approached her and blindfolded her. "I've heard that this Gu is assisted by bloodletting, and the effect is even more significant."

Then he used the back of the bone knife to pretend to cut the blood vessels of her hands and feet, and motioned for Zhihong to slowly release the warm water that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Half a moment, your stomach should be only half left, and the gastric juices are starting to corrode your ribcage." My voice sounded faintly, in this dead dungeon.

After a while, "Half an hour, start eating your liver." It's more painful than eating in your stomach, isn't it? I said.

Listening to Xia's forehead, cold sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead, and his body writhed in the hope that the pain could be alleviated. What was originally a suppressed muffled snort turned into a scream that gradually roared like a beast.

I let Zhihong continue to pretend that the warm water was bleeding, and Na Tingxia's face became more and more miserable.

"Ah, it seems that the taste of blood has made the Gu worms even more crazy, there is no antidote for a long time, and you are about to turn into a human skin." I smiled contemptuously, disintegrating Tingxia's inner defense little by little.

This Heart Devouring Gu attack was comparable to Ling Chi, and it was already very powerful to be able to endure it for an hour without dying of pain.

When I was about to speak, I saw Xia begging for mercy in her heart.

"I say! I'll say anything, give me the antidote! Listening to Xia's voice, there was a tremor of fear and a desire to survive.

I poured a bottle of potion into her mouth, and she swallowed desperately.

"The person who instructed you is Concubine Yun, right?" I asked.

Listening to Xia hesitated for a while, he still nodded.

Good, as I thought.

"That Yun Concubine is not Tu's. It's Emperor Detian, who changed his identity and entered the palace just to kill His Majesty, right? I asked my guess.

Listening to Xia tremble and say, "Yes... Yes, she is indeed the Emperor of Detian. And she is not pregnant either, just to shake your position and lie about being pregnant. ”

My fists clenched and clenched, as it was. I tore off the strip of cloth that covered Natsu's eyes, and Natsu looked horrified at his hands and feet that were not hurt.

And the wet on it is nothing more than some warm water.

"You!" Hearing Xia look at me in disbelief, I smiled faintly and said, "What, you found out that you were deceived by me?" ”

"You didn't let me bleed, then that Gu technique..." Listen to Xia asked.

I raised my hand to interrupt, "No, that Gu technique is real. But the antidote is fake, there is no solution to this Gu - you can only slowly become the nourishment of the worm. ”

Listening to the expression on Xia's face was very exciting, the shock of being deceived, and the anger of being played. In the end, it all turned into scolding me for not being able to die, and I laughed out loud.

"Whether you assassinate the queen of the dynasty or the military noblewoman. You're all dead, why do you have this dream of escaping, ridiculous! ”

Then I turned to leave, and Tingxia behind me was gnawed by Gu worms and let out a desperate scream.

I went to my brother who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, "What's the matter, it's all recorded, right?" ”

Brother nodded, "It has to be you, and you have to be punished for killing people." ”

I reluctantly picked up the paper and looked at the evidence of Xia's crimes. "It has to be done, after all, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop."

Brother also gave me the information about the investigation of Tu Yang in the past few days, Tu Yang's old lady who was about to die three years ago was rescued by a warlock, and then a mansion was built in his hometown.

Tu Yang, who has always been wooden and does not like to interact with people, began to become very generous. often led officials from all walks of life to drink and prostitutes, and lived a happy life.

And the daughter of the jade waist slave also appeared out of thin air a year ago. Although it is said to be raised in the countryside, the midwife who delivered Tu's wife back then said that the time is not right at all.

Now that the evidence is here, it's time to clean up the mess.

"Brother, people who have close contacts with Tu Yang should pay special attention, I am afraid that traitors will infiltrate the court, and that will endanger Yanqi." I said.

Brother nodded, and said with some hesitation: "Now that the evidence is there, why don't you hand it over to Tingwei to deal with." If you go, I'm afraid it's not good. ”

I clutched the paper, thinking about the recent past, and a thousand emotions welled up in my heart. "It's okay, there are some things that I have to understand, and it has to be me to need that answer."

In the temple of the Zhou family, thousands of plaques were erected, and countless candles lit up the entire hall. There was a huge asura above the main hall, looking at me kneeling below with a hideous face.

The jade-waisted slave was tied up and thrown behind me, and I got up and looked at her condescendingly.

"Don't come unharmed, Emperor Detian."
