The prison of the Ministry of Punishment was dark and damp, filled with the smell of blood and decay.

The queen was fine, but seeing the emperor frowning, she obviously couldn't stand it. Some people sit in front of the mirror of the high hall for a long time, and they think that the world is all bright, forgetting that there is still a place where the light cannot be found, or he selectively forgets.

The prison messenger led the way to the torture chamber, where there was a pot of fire in the middle, with a soldering iron on it, and the wall next to it was covered with torture instruments, some of which were still dripping blood.

When I entered, I saw a bloody figure tied to a wooden frame, with his head bowed and silent.

The queen's heart tightened, "Are people still alive?" ”

Xu didn't expect the emperor and queen to come here, and the prison guards in the torture room knelt down one after another, and no one dared to answer.

The emperor shouted angrily: "The queen asked, are they deaf one by one?" ”

The prison guard at the head trembled for a moment, and said in a trembling voice, "It's still ...... Alive. ”

The queen snorted coldly: "I'm afraid there is only one breath left, put the person down first, and go to the doctor!" ”

"The general ordered his subordinates to wait for ......"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor's eyes widened, "He, Han Rin, is a general, in charge of the military power of Xizhou, when will he have the right to control your criminal department!" ”

The prison messenger realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly lowered his head, "Damn it!" ”

"Don't put people down yet!" The emperor said angrily.

At that moment, these prison officials hurriedly lowered Yan Du from the wooden frame and put him on the meadow, and when they saw that he was not moving, the one at the head stretched out his hand and leaned over tremblingly.

"The breath is very weak......"

The queen hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, stuffed a ginseng pill into Yan Dui's mouth from inside, and ordered the people next to her to hurry up and ask for a doctor.

At this time, the Shangshu and the squire of the criminal department came over, and were reprimanded by the emperor, and the two of them knelt outside the execution room.

After taking a ginseng pill and waiting for a while, Yan Du slowly opened his eyes.

The emperor was anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that Yan Duan was bloody, covered his lips and nose with his hands, frowned and asked, "Do you know the method of refining the fire qilin?" ”

"The Emperor...... The emperor ...... "Yan Dui was too seriously injured, extremely weak, although his eyes were open, but his eyes were dim, "I...... I didn't kill ...... Qin Zhenzhen ......"

"I asked you if you know how to refine the Fire Qilin?"

"I ...... Wronged ......"

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "I will send another king to supervise this case, and I will not let them torture to extract confessions again." ”

Yan Du was confused, and said in one breath: "They are not for the murder...... Torture me...... But...... Instead, he asked me about the fire unicorn...... How to refine ......"

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "You really know, then you can explain?" ”

Yan Du nodded, "Fire Qilin...... The refining method is complex...... I found a book from the Zhenbei barracks...... General Han Dae...... Already taken ......"

The queen originally had a heart, but after hearing Yan Dui say this, she finally let go. Yan Du and Liu Yunxiang, this couple is full of tacit understanding, and they are both cunning and cunning.

When the emperor heard this, his face changed greatly, and his eyes were even a little panicked.

His courtier got gunpowder with great lethality, but he hid it from him, the emperor, what did this courtier do?

This courtier began refining the Fire Qilin as early as three years ago, which means that he had the intention of usurping the throne early, and now that he has control of such a powerful gunpowder, the odds of victory have greatly increased, will he immediately rebel?

The more the emperor thought about it, the more ugly his face became, the more he thought about it, and the more he was afraid, and the chill began to rise up his spine.

"Empress, you will take Yan Duan away from the Criminal Department, detain him to Dali Temple, and investigate the murder of Qin Zhenzhen in Dali Temple."

"Yes."

"And ......"

"The concubines understand, the emperor is at ease."

The emperor looked at the queen, saw that she nodded at himself, his heart settled down a lot, and then strode out.

"Han Rin will return to the palace with me, I have something to ask you."

When the queen heard the emperor shouting when he went out, she knew that the emperor had believed Yan Dui's words.

Also, Yan Dui was seriously injured like this, almost without human form, how could the emperor suspect that this was his plan, who would be so ruthless, tossing himself like this, and if he didn't get a good life, he would be gone.

But Yan Du is so ruthless, ruthless to others, and equally ruthless to himself.

Such talents are the most terrifying!

The queen squatted down, and when she saw Yan Du looking at her, she shook her head and smiled: "After you return to Darong, if you ascend the throne as the emperor, you must remember the grace of the palace to save you today, don't invade my Beijin and hurt the people of Beijin." ”

Yan Du was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I just want revenge, I don't have that ambition." ”

"That's a pity."

If such a person becomes an emperor, he can be a faint monarch who is reckless and militaristic, or he can be a generation of bright monarchs.

"Yun Xiang is looking for your help." Yan Du asked.

The queen raised her eyebrows: "Can you two make a sound through the air?" Otherwise, how could there be such a tacit understanding? ”

He expected that Liu Yunxiang would ask her for help, and Liu Yunxiang also expected that Yan Duan would push the matter of the fire qilin to Han Rin in front of the emperor, on the surface he was framed and killed very badly, but in fact, he took the opportunity to drag Han Rin into the water.

Yan Du smiled: "The two of us have the same heart. ”

The queen nodded, "My goddaughter really loves you wholeheartedly, don't let her down, otherwise even if you return to Darong, I will carry a knife to kill you." ”

In the palace, Han Rin knelt in the upper study, although he expected that something was going to happen, but he was still surprised when he heard the emperor say that Yan Duan had already told him the refining method of the fire qilin.

At this time, he was really speechless, indicating that Yan Duan was talking, and he had not obtained the method of refining the Fire Qilin at all, and the suspicion and anger on the emperor's face could not be concealed, which made him know that he could not prove his innocence.

He suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a pit that had apparently been dug for him by Yan Dusk.

"Your Majesty, when the ministers fought for you in the south and the north, they made great contributions, and they have been loyally guarding the frontier all these years, you will not believe in Yan Dusk, a great Rong person who does not believe in the ministers, right?" Han Rin said helplessly.

The emperor looked down, "Xie Shengmao's development of the fire unicorn really has nothing to do with you?" ”

Han Rin paused for a moment and said, "The minister really doesn't know!" ”

"I'll ask you again, don't you really know?"

"I really don't know!"

The monarch and the ministers fell silent again, and the emperor pondered Han Rin's words, and Han Rin was also trying to find a way to justify himself.

Outside the palace, Liu Yunxiang took advantage of the night and quietly came to Prince Shun's mansion.

A quarter of an hour later, in the main courtyard of Prince Shun's mansion, Prince Shun stood at the door, watching her walk in with a sad face.

"You say you have a way to save my family?" Prince Shun asked anxiously.

When she first heard about the robbery of the county lord of Changning, the princess of Shun was shocked and fainted, and after she recovered, she begged for help, but she ran away for a day and ate a day of closed-door soup.

This matter is too big, and no one is willing to say a word for her to obey the prince's mansion and her daughter, but in the final analysis, her daughter has done too much.

I went to rob a prison to save a man!

Liu Yunxiang looked at Prince Shun lightly: "Don't you ask who I am, princess?" ”

"Oh, yes, are you?" Prince Shun was so confused that she didn't even think to ask who it was.

The corners of Liu Yunxiang's mouth curved, "I am the princess of Zhenbei, Yan Dusk's wife." ”
