Cushman & Wakefield's words are fierce and murderous.

However, Yuan Yun just lowered his head and whispered, "I know." Then he slowly retreated, and did not dare to argue a word. has completely lost the bold appearance when she assassinated Cushman & Wakescent, and now she even looks a little afraid of Cushman & Wakefield.

In just half a day, Yuan Yun, who killed the assassin king, changed his appearance, and Gao Wei didn't care about her appearance, and raised his hand to let her retreat.

Until she returned to Yuanyuan's side, Yuan Yun's hands hidden in her sleeves were still trembling slightly, she secretly glanced at Gao Wei standing outside the hall, and shivered gently, not because of the cold, but because of fear.

The experience of the afternoon made Yuan Yun thoroughly understand that Gao Wei is a tyrant. A tyrant who is even more brutal than Gao Yang, who slaughtered the Eastern Wei royal family!

Yuan Yun couldn't help but think back to the scene in the prison in the afternoon.

The prison was cramped and cramped, the air smelled of putrid decay, hungry rats running around the beams, and the light was dim.

Yuan Yun was tied to a wooden shelf and couldn't move at all. Liu Taozhi's last two strokes sealed Yuan Yun's acupoint, and now her limbs are weak, and she can't use any strength, desperately waiting for a tragic end.

Assassinating the emperor is a mortal crime. Anyway, from the moment she was about to assassinate Cushman & Wakefield, she didn't plan to live...... It's a big deal to die with Yuanyuan, she has had enough days of hiding and hiding like this......

"Are you still not going to say anything?" The door to the prison clicked open, and Gao Wei stood on the steps, only his thin silhouette could be seen.

"Hmph......" Yuan Yun snorted weakly, and sneered: "It's just a death, there's nothing to say......"

"It looks like you're hell-bent on death." Cushman & Wakefield slowly walked forward, stopping in front of her, and she could even feel Cushman Wakefield's warm breathing.

"I didn't take Yuanyuan as well, I have already issued an edict to crown her as Princess Jiaping, in the past, I and my father will naturally make up for what she owes."

Gao Wei stared at her, her long eyelashes resting on her lower eyelids, her skin as white as fine porcelain, "Now, we're going to talk about your problem. Who are you? ”

Yuan Yun's bound fingers snapped, but she couldn't break free. Gao Wei ignored her futile little actions, and said to himself:

"You are very strange, you have been in this palace for eighteen years, and the old palace maids and old eunuchs near the cold palace all know that there is such a person as you, and they have all seen you, saying that you have been in this palace since you were a child. But no one ever knows what your name is or where you come from......"

"You don't have to say that I can also imagine that I have stayed in the palace since I was a child, but all the palace maids recruited in the palace are over thirteen or fourteen years old, and as far as I know, they have seen you a long time ago, and some people say ...... You are the person next to Empress Wenxuan. ”

"Then why did you raise the princess seems to be a matter of course......," Gao Wei paused, "But I think this matter is far from that simple, if Lu Lingxuan gave you shelter in order to control Yuanyuan as a bargaining chip, I believed this reason at first." But I feel that it doesn't seem right, you also understand what kind of situation Yuanyuan is, what kind of situation a princess who has lost her father and mother will be here, you won't not understand, Yuanyuan's existence will not only not give Lu Lingxuan any benefits, but also make her risk offending the Queen Mother. Lu Lingxuan has never been like a person who can do good deeds, the premise of everything she does is to be profitable, Yuanyuan is not her target, if I guess correctly, the person she wants to protect is you from beginning to end, right? ”

"So I'm very curious, your identity is definitely not simple, in Lu Lingxuan's eyes, you are more valuable than Yuanyuan, can it be ......, are you also a princess?"

"......" Yuan Yun closed his eyes, was silent, and didn't say anything, but Gao Wei was very keen to find that Yuan Yun's delicate body subconsciously collapsed.

Gao Wei smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't say it, anyway, I have a way to make you say it......"

"Heh, torture?" Yuan Yun sneered: "Whatever you want......"

"You're not afraid at all?" Gao Wei looked at her playfully and said, "That's right, anyway, since you dare to assassinate me, then you must have been ready to die...... rest assured, I won't let you die so happily." ”

"I know a punishment that suits you perfectly." Gao Wei said lightly: "Tie you up first, and then blindfold you, at this time the ears will be particularly sensitive." After that, someone will cut a hole in the blood vessels of your wrist with a knife, and use a small wooden basin to fill up the blood that has flowed from you, and you can only hear the sound of bleeding, but you don't know how much blood you have shed, let alone when you will die. ”

Cushman & Wakefield's voice had an eerie, chilling sense of devotion, "Imagine that you are tied to a pillar, you hear the sound of blood flowing slowly into a wooden basin, you feel your body slowly getting colder, slowly losing your strength, and your whole life is slowly hollowed out with the blood that flows, until later, the blood flow slowly becomes smaller, and you die in fear before the blood is dry......"

Yuan Yun's full chest began to rise and fall, not like the breezy appearance just now. Although her eyes were still closed, and there was no superfluous expression on her face, anyone could feel her fear.

"Oh? Still not afraid? I have another method, a comb for combing hair, have you ever seen it? I can have people use a thick wooden plank with iron nails embedded in it, called an iron comb, and then strip your clothes naked, or tie you up first, and then, I will have people pour boiling water on your body, and then use an iron comb to scrape off your dead skin and rotten flesh one by one, but maybe not very careful, there will still be some residual flesh stuck to the rest of the meat, like bloody strips of cloth, and then boiling water will be poured on the meat, and the iron comb will be combed until you can see the bones......" Gao Wei's smile was sunny, but in Yuan Yun's eyes, it was terrifying, he said: "This combing is referred to as grooming." ”

Yuan Yun still gritted her teeth and insisted, trying to stop thinking about the picture described by Gao Wei, but the terrible picture still couldn't stop drilling into her mind, and then, the damn tyrant came up with another idea:

"I also thought of a way, cruelty is cruel enough, but you don't look good with this woman......"

Cushman said: "Bury your whole body in the soft hot sand, shave your hair, cut a bloody hole, and then pour mercury into it, at first you don't feel it, but you feel very comfortable, but after that, you will feel more and more itchy, as if there are 10,000 ants biting all over your body, then you will start to struggle, you can't stand it anymore, the whole person will break up from the sand, and then, your whole skin will be peeled off......"

"-Don't say it!! Say no more, please! Woo...... Don't say it......" Yuan Yun finally couldn't bear that fear, and cried out loud, she had never been so afraid of staying in this cannibalistic palace wall Zhu Yuan for so many years. Now this laughing harmless guy in front of me is so terrifying.

It turns out that there are more terrible things in this world than death, Yuan Yun is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that life is better than death.

For the first time in her life, Yuan Yun cried like a helpless and frightened little girl, and her tears fell like beads with broken threads.

Gao Wei put his hands in his sleeves, waiting for Yuan Yun to explain to him,

"I, I am the princess of the Eastern Wei royal family......" Yuan Yun finally explained.

"Oh" Cushman & Wakefield wasn't surprised.

Gao Yang inherited his brother's career and established the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was preceded by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the Eastern Wei royal family was Xianbei Tuoba, that is, the Yuan family.

Gao Yang established the Northern Qi Dynasty and temporarily released the Yuan family, but Gao Yang always had a thorn in his heart.

In the tenth year of Tianbao (559), Gao Yang suddenly asked the minister Yuan Shao: "Why was Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty able to achieve the great cause of Zhongxing?"

Yuan Shao replied: "This is because the surname Liu was not killed at that time." Gao Yang thought so, remembering that although he established the Northern Qi Dynasty on behalf of Wei, there were still a large number of imperial families in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he felt that this was a hidden danger, so he issued an edict to kill all the clans of the previous dynasty.

Yuan Shao, the unlucky bastard, was also there, how could he have thought that Gao Yang was crazy to this extent? Because one sentence killed the royal family of Northern Qi and Eastern Wei.

Gao Yang ordered 721 people to be killed before and after, even the baby was spared, and the soldiers indulged in picking up the baby with a spear and throwing it into the air for fun. Yuan's corpses were all thrown into the Zhanghe River, and as a result, fishermen on both sides of the Zhanghe River often found human toenails in the belly of the fish when they cut the fish, so disgusting that the residents on both sides of the Zhanghe River did not dare to eat fish again for a long time.

Although it is said to the outside world that Gao Yang has killed all the royal family of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, it is inevitable that fish will slip through the net. This Yuan Yun is obviously the fish that slipped through the net.

"How did you get there?" Cushman asked.

Yuan Yun said: "When Gao Yang raided my house, my mother happened to take me to Queen Wenxuan, and my mother knelt down and begged her to save my life, she relented and agreed......"

"......" Gao Wei was silent, no matter from what point of view, Li Zu'e, a hard-working woman, is actually a very good person.

"Who is your father?"

"Out of the emperor, Yuan, famous ......"

"You're really a princess."

"However, this does not mean that you are qualified to be valued by Lu Lingxuan......" Gao Wei frowned, feeling that Yuan Yun had not finished speaking.

"My clan uncle is Yuan Wenyao, and there is also an uncle, he is the guard of Qianqiu Gate, and Kudi Fulian ......"

Yuan Wenyao, indeed a side branch of the imperial family, has good ability, was previously demoted to Yanzhou Assassin for offending He Shikai, and was recently recruited to return to the court, and is an important candidate for the cabinet proposed by Zhao Yanshen and Gao Rui.

And Kudi Fulian, with 3,000 Xianbei warriors under his command, is stationed at Qianqiu Gate, which can directly lead to the main road of the palace.

Lu Lingxuan does not value Yuan Yun, but Yuan Wenyao and Kudi Fulian, who are related to Yuan Yun.

"Lu Lingxuan, your plan is not small."

Gao Wei was silent for a while, and the iron door behind him opened, and a woman in monk's robe walked in.

"She has said everything she should have said, Your Majesty, follow your promise and let her live......" Li Zu'e clasped her hands together and said lightly.

Gao Wei naturally couldn't say no to Li Zu'e's request, and nodded respectfully: "Okay, I promise to spare her life......

"But," Cushman said, "how can I guarantee that if I release her, she won't assassinate me?" Her martial arts skills are extremely high, and Liu Taozhi can only be slightly better......"

Li Zu'e said: "You feed her poison and give her an antidote every seven days, so that she won't dare to attack you again......"

Gao Wei nodded: "Reasonable." ”

"Actually, you don't need to say it, I will keep my promise, after all, she brought Yuanyuan to such a big day, I thank her for ......"

Li Zu'e looked at Yuan Yun with pity, "Child, I am also here to save your life, think about your mother, she finally let you survive ......, so many people have died, they have become the past, even Hou Nigan (Gao Yang's Xianbei nickname) who destroyed you is also dead, what kind of hatred and hatred can not be let go?" ”

Yuan Yun's body trembled for a long time before he said, "Where is Yuanyuan?" ”

"I said you could survive......" but he didn't say she could get any closer to Yuanyuan.

"Where is Yuanyuan?" Yuan Yun was persistent and terrible, Gao Wei's eyes gradually became cold, and Li Zu'e sighed:

"Your Majesty, just let her be with Yuanyuan, she and Yuanyuan have been dependent on each other for so many years, and their feelings are very deep, she will not harm Yuanyuan's ......"

Gao Wei looked at Yuan Yun: "Can you guarantee it?" ”

Yuan Yun didn't want to think about it, "I promise ......"

Gao Wei thought about it carefully, whether it was based on what he saw or heard, Yuan Yun did take care of Yuanyuan impeccably.

"Remember your promises." He took a deep look at her, turned to leave, and then instructed Xiao Luzi, "Prepare hot water and clothes for her." ”

"Your Majesty" Gao Wei found that Liu Taozhi was waiting outside the door early.

"What?"

Liu Taozhi took out a note and handed it to Gao Wei, Gao Wei opened it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "In this way, now my younger brother, uncle and nurse are all mixed together, hehe......"

Gao Wei glanced back at Yuan Yun, who was being carried down from the wooden shelf, and commanded softly:

"Spread the news, just say that today I executed a female assassin named Yuan Yun...... don't make too much noise, just let King Langya know......"

"......"
