Tang Ning stood outside the cell door for a long time, looking at King Cheng who was shivering in the corner as if he was scared out of his mind. However, her heart was not as happy as she expected. No matter how much torture the man in front of him suffered, he could not compare to his aunt who was twenty years old. When Nian was deceived, she looked away and asked in a low voice: "Will he die?"
"Not for the time being." Xiao Yan lowered his head: "I still want to keep King Cheng to catch big fish."
Tang Ning vaguely guessed what he wanted to do and asked, "What happens after that?"
"Then it will be up to your Majesty to reward and punish him." Xiao Yan said: "He colluded with the Ministry of War and was suspected of treason. In theory, he will not survive. However, the rebellion was not carried out and he was confiscated in advance. After being punished, he became a cripple. It is not that he did not let Your Majesty escape. A possibility."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Tang Ning: "What, you don't want him to die?"
Tang Ning said softly: "Let him die like this, it is too easy for him."
"He has deceived his aunt for many years and wronged the Gu family's uncle. Even his grandfather was kept in the dark until his death. How can a man like him deserve to die so easily? I want him to live a worse life than anyone else in the rest of his life. Let him Watching his long-awaited hopes come to nothing, watching the people he never cherished stand tall, while he is as humble as dust."
Xie Tianyu doesn't love his aunt, and he will never regret losing her for the rest of his life, but if he is allowed to live to see his years of planning destroyed, and to see that the "love" of his life is just using him as a pawn, he will never fall into the abyss of hell. He never thought of saving him, and even his self-righteous affection and dedication for many years were a joke.
Then he will be more miserable alive than dead.
Tang Ning whispered: "I want to ask Brother Ah to have someone protect his life, let him live for a long time, and let him see his own retribution with his own eyes."
Xiao Yan nodded: "Okay."
Tang Ning looked back at the dark prison and saw King Cheng shivering in the corner. She glanced at the things on the ground and whispered, "Brother, let someone take that child back."
Xiao Yan said: "Why take him back? I saw that King Cheng liked him very much, so I let them and their son enjoy the happiness of a family in prison."
Seeing her stunned, he whispered:
"You come with me."
Tang Ning didn't know what Xiao Yan wanted to do, so she followed him out of the prison with some confusion.
When she got outside, she saw Jinyun coming with a box. She recognized the mahogany box at a glance as the one she got back from Imperial Physician Sun.
"Brother, he..." Tang Ning opened his eyes wide.
Xiao Yan glanced at the box and said, "He is your aunt's child after all. Even if the biological father is hateful, this blood relationship cannot be broken. Your aunt may not care about him. If she knows what you did with this child, Although she won't be resentful, she will inevitably blame you for taking matters into your own hands and create a rift with you."
"But the one inside just now?"
She clearly saw that the box contained...
"The gadgets made by my subordinates are mixed with some pig and sheep blood. It's enough to scare people."
That thing can't stand a closer look, especially if you have seen human life on your hands. You can tell whether it is real or fake by smelling the blood. What's more, how can a four-month-old stillborn fetus have such clear eyes, ears, mouth and nose? .
It's a pity that King Cheng was already tortured to the point of unconsciousness, and there was almost no light in the death row. When he first saw the "fetus" in the box, he was so frightened that he had no time to distinguish it. true and false.
Seeing the astonished look on the little girl's face, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, Prince Cheng won't dare to touch that thing like that, so let them and their son enjoy the bliss of the world. As for this..."
He pointed at the box: "Just wait for me for a while. I'll explain a few things to them later, and I'll accompany you to find a place to bury him later."
Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to rub Tang Ning's forehead out of habit: "You have never hurt him, so you should let him rest in peace and find a good family in the next life, so there is no need to feel guilty."
Tang Ning covered her forehead in confusion and watched Xiao Yan turn around and go to the other side.
When facing Canglang and the others, the man who had spoken softly just now seemed to have restrained all his gentleness. He wore a blue robe that outlined his cold figure, and his profile was stern.
When he spoke in a low voice, Tang Ning looked up at his back and couldn't help but squeeze the sachet in his sleeve tightly with his lowered hand.
She should stay away...
Just like how you treat the Fu family, if you don't have any thoughts, you should simply refuse and let the brother rest his thoughts earlier. Even like how he treated Fu Laiqing, he tried to find a way to reject his Qinian, and slowly distanced himself and treated him coldly. I felt this feeling that I shouldn’t have.
But……
Tang Ning couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan, who was standing at the intersection of light and shadow, picking the begonia pattern on the sachet with her fingertips and biting her lip.
Brother Fu is different from Fu Laiqing. Fu Laiqing is the legitimate son of the Fu family and the beloved grandnephew of Duke Cao. He has a noble family and an excellent background. Even if he is rejected by her, he can still find a good marriage. Even if he is embarrassed for a moment, he can quickly You can adjust it.
But Xiao Yan was different. He was inherently disabled and had been despised by others over the years. Everyone called him a treacherous eunuch and did not want to be with him. Everyone regarded him as a savage beast and wanted to isolate him on the top of the mountain.
He never expressed his feelings to her clearly, nor did he offend her in any way. Even the words he just blurted out were quickly swallowed.
He has scruples about her.
If she rashly alienates and treats her coldly, what will brother think? He would think that she disliked his disability, and that she disliked his identity.
When the time comes, he will be a hundred times more embarrassed than Fu Laiqing.
Tangning couldn't bear it and didn't want to.
…
Xiao Yan could feel that the people behind him seemed to be looking at him. He turned back to look at Little Haitang, who was standing quietly in the courtyard waiting for him, his gentle eyes couldn't help but curve.
When he turned to face Canglang, there was still warmth in the corners of his eyes.
"Let people watch King Cheng, don't let him seek death. When we bring people to interrogate Hou Rui and Gong Jinghao later, there is no need to torture them, just a general interrogation."
He paused for a moment and then said: "Remember to reveal what Prince Cheng confessed to them, and do it without leaving any trace."
Cang Lang was stunned for a moment: "But didn't the Governor deceive King Cheng? If Hou Rui and the others 'colluded' with King Cheng, wouldn't it mean that it was the rest of the Lu family who were having trouble with King Cheng..."
What about Queen Lu?
Isn't their goal the queen?
Xiao Yan looked indifferent: "I just want them to confirm this matter and then send their confessions to His Majesty and the Queen."
He sent someone to test Queen Lu before, but she made no move at all. She seemed not to care about King Cheng's life or death at all, and was not even afraid that he would reveal anything. After interrogating King Cheng today, she saw that he still avoided him even under severe punishment. In the Lu family, Xiao Yan knew that he might really have some scruples in the queen's hands.
Although he could torture King Cheng to force him to speak, but let's not talk about whether what King Cheng said under torture was true or false. Even if what he said was true, once the confession was sent to Emperor An, the queen and the prince would definitely have an affair. If he won't admit it, Emperor An will personally interrogate him in anger, and he won't be able to hide it from the clan.
King Cheng is not a fool, but he is also vicious and treacherous. If he retorts in front of the Holy Spirit and uses the wounds left from torture, he accuses him of being forced to confess and frame the queen. In this way, he can frame the Lu family, which will not only help the Lu family escape. Sin will also put him in a state of eternal damnation.
Instead of taking such a risk, it would be better to use King Cheng to catch a big fish.
