Wen Jin and Xiao Yuchen stayed overnight and asked to see the emperor early in the morning, just to attract the attention of officials and the emperor.
Unexpectedly, after a dispute, the effect was even better than expected!
The emperor actually wanted to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment in person!
The people around me were already experienced and quickly changed into casual clothes.
Xiao Yuchen and Wen Jin came to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to guard the emperor.
Hearing that King Huai and the princess were coming, the Minister of Punishment immediately came out to greet them.
He didn't see the one behind him who was wearing loose clothes and a hood.
His brows furrowed into knots, "I've seen King Huai, we've been questioning him all night, he..."
The Minister of Punishment had a tangled expression and hesitated to speak.
Xiao Yuchen probably immediately thought of the worst outcome, "He's dead?!"
The sound was a bit loud and jarring.
The group of people behind Xiao Yuchen were slightly shocked...
If the main culprit is already dead...then if the old man leaves the palace incognito, wouldn't his work be in vain?
"That...that's not true!" The Minister of Justice was also startled, "But with the burns on his body and the interrogation last night, I'm afraid he won't live long..."
"I'll go take a look." Wen Jin walked out from behind Xiao Yuchen.
As long as the prisoner Zhou Xin is still breathing, she is sure to save him!
You must first ensure that he is alive before he can tell the truth.
The cell door opened, and a bloody breath hit his face.
I saw Zhou Xin with his hair disheveled and tied to a wooden frame in a large font.
His hair covered his face, and the clothes on his body were burnt, blackened, and stained with blood, and the color was indistinguishable.
He lowered his head feebly, as if he was lifeless.
"Put him down." Wen Jin stepped forward and said.
"Princess?" The Minister of Justice frowned.
"Keep him alive so you can ask for something." Wen Jin looked at the hesitant face of the Minister of Justice.
Zhou Xin was laid flat on the ground.
Wen Jin took out a small bottle from his arms and stuffed a life-saving pill into Zhou Xin's mouth.
Only when a person sees the hope of life and feels the vitality of life can he struggle.
Zhou Xin trembled suddenly. He opened his eyes and looked at Wen Jin in horror...
Wen Jin smiled at him... He felt it!
Wen Jin's pills were actually taken from the spiritual spring space.
The moment he took the pill, the spiritual energy of the spiritual spring space was close at hand.
Such abundant spiritual energy made Zhou Xin feel clearly in the abyss of pain...
The desire struggle in his eyes became more and more obvious as the pill dissolved in his mouth.
"Vicious woman! What did you... eat for me?" His voice was hoarse with difficulty.
"Life-saving pill is a priceless treasure." Wen Jin said, "It can save your life."
Zhou Xin's eyes trembled and he gritted his teeth.
"Did you feel it? The pain in your body should have lessened."
As Wen Jin spoke, she took out another bottle of green ointment. She called a jailer over and said, "Apply medicine to his wound, be gentle."
The green ointment has an immediate effect on external injuries.
A faint lotus fragrance spread out on Zhou Xin's body along with the ointment.
Zhou Xin's tightly knitted brows relaxed... He couldn't even restrain himself and let out a comfortable hum.
"It would be a waste to give this good thing to him!" the Minister of Punishment lamented at the side.
Wen Jin looked at Zhou Xin's expression and nodded, "It's a bit wasteful. Stop it."
Zhou Xin opened his eyes suddenly and glared at Wen Jin with eyes like a poisonous snake, "You..."
“Not only does the wound no longer hurt after applying the ointment, it also feels cool and comfortable.
"In comparison, the wound without ointment seems to be even more painful, like countless ants gnawing at the flesh..."
Zhou Xin gritted his teeth, "Vicious woman! Kill me! Kill me!"
"There is still so much medicine, enough to cover the whole body." Wen Jin chuckled, "Do you want half of your body to be in pain and half to feel comfortable? Or..."
"Ahhh..." Zhou Xin gritted his teeth, but his teeth clashed together uncontrollably, making a rattling sound.
The half of the body that had not been smeared with medicine began to seep blood as he exerted force.
He lay on the ground, twisting and struggling like an ant on a hot pot.
"Don't waste your efforts. This medicine also has a sedative effect. If you want to resist stubbornly and jump up to seek death, you will be powerless." Wen Jin's voice was gentle and gentle, "Tell me, why do you want to kill me? Who sent you here? ?”
Zhou Xin was lying on the ground like a dehydrated fish, and the sweat on his face looked like it was fished out of the water.
He gasped for air, "Kill me, give me a good time..."
"The medicine you used is a rare treasure. Now, your life is precious." Wen Jin said softly.
"You..." Zhou Xin's painful expression suddenly became very relaxed and comfortable...
Wen Jin summoned the spiritual spring space in front of him.
The rich spiritual energy made his whole body feel comfortable, and even his tense nerves relaxed.
But in a blink of an eye...
"Ahhhh..." He screamed again.
The spiritual energy disappeared, and his unmedicated wound stung more unbearably than before. He seemed to be back in the heat wave, and half of his body seemed to be in the fire, being burned by the intense fire.
"Ahhh...I said, I said! Apply medicine to me quickly!"
The jailer stepped forward to apply the medicine, and the sweat dripped from Zhou Xin's face.
"I don't have much patience, you'd better speak quickly." Wen Jin warned.
"Princess Huai's influence in Kyoto is growing...Now that foreign envoys are coming to Beijing, the activities hosted by Princess Huai have attracted the attention of the other three countries.
"The three countries also want to follow this move and must establish a closer relationship with Princess Huai... In this way, Princess Huai's position in Daliang becomes more and more unshakable..."
Suddenly there was a "whoosh" sound.
"Ah——" Zhou Xin groaned when he was hit by something.
"Who?!" Xiao Yuchen shouted sharply and immediately stood in front of the old man, and the people around him chased him out.
Wen Jin stepped forward to check Zhou Xin.
"No, the dart is poisonous!" Wen Jin immediately took out the needle and sealed the meridians to prevent the poison from spreading to the heart.
"This is a poison that will act immediately!" someone shouted outside the torture room door.
Wen Jin didn't have time to look back, swish, swish, she injected the needle quickly.
"Vomit..." Zhou Xin spat out a large mouthful of black blood, and the stench hit his nostrils.
After he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, his complexion did not continue to get worse, and the color of the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth gradually improved.
Wen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the life-saving pills are still working!"
"You are just a chess piece in the hands of others, and you are an abandoned piece that has been abandoned.
"Do the people who use you treat you as a human being? Do they regard your life as fate?
"Is the thing you risk your life to protect worth protecting?"
Wen Jin looked at Zhou Xin's gradually pale face with regret.
“With such good skills and strong will, you should have done bigger and more meaningful things.
"You are good at martial arts. You are supposed to protect your family and country, be respected by others, and honor your ancestors..."
"Alas...what a pity!"
Zhou Xin trembled all over...
"sorry……"
He suddenly said very quietly.
His eyes trembled as he looked at Wen Jin, tears falling from the corners of his eyes, "Yes..."
Someone outside the execution room suddenly said, "The person who used the darts is a junior official from the Ministry of Punishment. Before he fired the darts, he had already taken poison and was in a state of death..."
Zhou Xin's eyes trembled again, and he frowned suddenly, "The person who ordered me is..."
