Cang Yunxuan narrowed her eyes and suddenly smiled, "You are really a good dog for her."
"Since you insist, I will give you a chance, but if you don't obey my command, go back to Lengyuan and continue to be a watchdog."
Xiao Yueze did not refute, but simply replied, "Please do as you please, Your Majesty."
As long as he can rescue Shenluoxi, he is willing to do anything.
…
In the prison, Shen Luoxi was sitting on the tiger chair, with numerous whip marks on his body and his breath became weak.
The jailer on the side had a long whip in his hand, raised his hand and whipped her twice more.
"Princess Xuan's mouth is really tough, but how much torture can you with your thin skin and tender flesh endure? It's better to do it as early as possible, and you can suffer less!"
Shen Luoxi didn't answer, just glanced at him weakly.
Before being interrogated, she had taken painkilling pills, otherwise her body would not have been able to withstand so much torture.
Although the pain problem was solved, the dizziness caused by blood loss still made her uncomfortable.
The cinnabar that fell from her body must have been placed by the palace maid who searched her body. Although she had been paying attention to their movements, there was still a blind spot, which allowed people to take advantage of it.
She kept recalling in her mind what happened when she poured wine for the queen. Neither the queen nor the female family members with her made any strange movements. How did the crane crown red get into the wine glass?
Shen Luoxi was puzzled, and then heard Zhou Shilang's question.
"Princess Xuan, are you still not going to admit it?"
"I've never done it, why should I admit it?" Shen Luoxi met his gaze, "Even if you want to give in, I still have the same answer."
Zhou Shilang frowned, "Are you waiting for His Highness Prince Xuan to come and save you? If so, I advise you to give up on this idea."
"His Royal Highness Xuan is so disgusted with you, and now you have committed such a heinous crime. His Royal Highness Xuan is too late to be happy. He only hopes that you will die in prison so that you can stay together with your concubine."
Hearing this, Shen Luoxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "The method of stimulating generals is useless to me."
"you!"
Zhou Shilang was furious. He had been interrogating Shen Luoxi for two hours, but he still didn't come up with a single useful word. How could he communicate with the emperor?
He gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Luoxi, "From the moment the palace lady finds Hedinghong on you, everything is a certainty, whether you admit it or not, unless you can prove your innocence."
"So Princess Xuan might as well just admit it. It will be good for you and me."
Shen Luoxi didn't take it seriously, "I will naturally prove my innocence. I won't stay in the Prison Prison for too long."
Zhou Shilang had an ugly expression on his face, "You damn duck has a tough mouth! Continue to torture me!"
In Fengyi Palace, the queen was sitting on the bedside, listening to her mother-in-law reporting to her about Shen Luoxi. She smiled lightly and put the bird's nest aside.
"Things went more smoothly than I thought."
Mammy smiled and said: "Of course it is. The Queen has taken action herself, how could it not go well?"
"Master Zhou is still interrogating her in prison now. It has been so long and he still hasn't beaten her to death."
The queen raised her lips and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Only by torturing her slowly can you pay back the grievances Lian'er has suffered these days."
After saying that, she raised her bright red nails to admire them carefully.
Who would have thought that the impatiens juice used to dye nails is mixed with a little bit of core red?
At that time, when she brought the wine glass to her lips, her fingernails inadvertently scratched and the wine was mixed with crane crown red?
As long as she washes off the impatiens juice on her nails, no one can catch her. Even the remaining bit of crane crown red will be blamed on Shen Luoxi. What else does she have to worry about?
She looked at Grandma, took out a luminous pearl from the bedside and placed it in her hand, "Thank you for your hard work this time, Grandma."
Grandma's eyes widened as she looked at the luminous pearl as big as the palm of her hand. She thanked her profusely: "Thank you, empress!"
"But that crane-crested red is highly poisonous after all, so we'd better ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look at it." Mammy said.
The queen nodded, with a bit of fierceness flashing in her eyes, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs. As long as you can get rid of Lian'er's biggest obstacle, I am willing to do anything."
"When His Royal Highness Prince Lian comes out, he will definitely be moved by the Queen's plan."
The Queen was noncommittal.
Before King Lian is released, she must clear all obstacles for him.
At this time, Cang Yunxuan took Xiao Yueze to the medicine shop.
Xiao Yueze looked around calmly and followed him to the second floor.
After a while, a handsome man walked up. Xiao Yueze looked at him and the man sat next to Cang Yunxuan.
"This is the record of all the sales of Heding Red in the capital. I have read it carefully. In the past half month, only eight people have bought it. I have sent people to ask about the faces of those who bought Heding Red."
"Except those who can't remember, the portraits of the rest are here."
Cang Yunxuan took what Cang Chenru handed over, and there was a face among them that made him a little concerned.
"The man in the portrait was born with a male body and a female face. Is it possible that he is a eunuch in the palace?"
Cang Chenru touched his chin, "There are too many eunuchs in the palace. It will take some time to find someone who looks similar among thousands of eunuchs."
Cang Yunxuan nodded.
The eunuchs in the palace perform their own duties and are distributed in various places in the palace. If you want to find someone, it is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, time is tight now, so it is impossible to find it slowly.
Cang Yunxuan frowned and slowly clenched her hands into fists.
"Your Highness, Prince Xuan, don't worry. Princess Xuan will be fine. I've already sent someone to inquire. Although the princess has suffered some injuries, it's just a superficial injury and there is no danger to her life."
When Xiao Yueze heard this, he immediately asked: "Did they use torture on the princess?"
Cang Chenru was stunned, "After all, it's about poisoning the queen, so it's natural to severely torture her. But as long as Princess Xuan refuses to admit it, there's nothing that Zhou Shilang and the jailer can do against her."
"This is just a delaying tactic. If her innocence cannot be proven as soon as possible, the emperor will definitely punish her severely." Cang Yunxuan said, "The emperor will definitely vent his anger on me."
"You think of a way to find the person in the portrait as soon as possible."
Cang Chenru nodded.
"Can you show me the portrait?" Xiao Yueze suddenly said.
Cang Chenru glanced at Cang Yunxuan and saw him nodding before handing the portrait to Xiao Yueze.
He asked in confusion: "Can you still see flowers in these portraits?"
Xiao Yueze was silent, staring at the portrait with all his attention, looking back and forth from his eyes to his mouth.
Cang Yunxuan looked at Cang Yunxuan, but did not get an answer.
He was a little depressed, but he could only wait quietly.
"This person may not be a man." Xiao Yueze said.
"Did you see it wrong? This looks like a man no matter how you look at it?" Cang Chenru snatched the portrait and looked at it.
Cang Yunxuan pondered for a moment, "What he said makes sense."
