Chu Mu left the farmyard where Ruan Tang lived. After getting into the carriage, he closed his eyes and rested in the carriage.
Perhaps it was because of injuries on his body, or perhaps it was because he had stood in the snow all night, but Chu Mu felt cold even to the joints of his bones.
Nanfeng was worried about him and the car drove quickly.
But when he arrived at the palace, Chu Mu still fainted in the carriage.
This ordeal made Chu Mu sick, and he stayed in bed for nearly two months before he got better.
The government doctor came to check for pulse as usual, but after finishing, Chu Mu ordered, "I have improved, there is no need to come every day in the future."
"No, Your Highness, your body is suffering from the root cause of the disease this time, and there are already signs of cold syndrome. If you don't take good care of it, your body will be injured in the future."
Nan Feng said anxiously.
But Chu Mu disagreed, "I know my own body well, so please step back."
Chu Mu waved his hand and dismissed the government doctor.
Although the doctor agreed with Nanfeng's words, he did not dare to disobey Chu Mu's order, so he had to give a few instructions and then retreated.
"Nanfeng, change my clothes for the king."
"Your Highness is feeling well, so it's better not to go out. The snow has just melted and it's very cold outside."
Chu Mu glanced at him, "I have been ill for a while, and you have started to be my master?"
"I don't dare." Nanfeng quickly knelt down.
"Okay, get up and let me change my clothes."
Nanfeng had no choice but to bring him clothes for going out. But he was afraid that he would be cold, so he specially brought a few of the thickest ones, and also brought a goose feather cloak with a fox fur collar.
Although Chu Mu felt that he was making a fuss, he didn't say anything.
Dressed neatly, Chu Mu took Nanfeng to the dungeon of the palace.
At this time, the dungeon was even colder than outside. The guards guarding the cell were all standing by the charcoal tray to keep warm. When they saw Chu Mu coming in, they all stood up and saluted in fear.
Chu Mu just glanced at it and walked straight into the depths of the dungeon.
The dungeon is cold and cold, and the people locked up here have all committed crimes, so naturally their treatment will not be very good.
At this time, they were all huddled in the corner and shivering.
Chu Mu didn't stop until he reached the door of the deepest dungeon.
This cell usually houses the most important prisoners.
The person locked up at the moment is Cheng Yiliu.
At this moment, she was just like the prisoners, huddled in a corner, covered with a dirty thin quilt, shivering.
Her whole body was dirty and unkempt, and she was no longer as willful and arrogant as before.
She opened her eyes slightly when she heard the sound of the chain lock opening.
When she saw that the person walking in was Chu Mu, her gray eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Highness? Are you here?" She crawled out from the corner and climbed to Chu Mu's feet.
Chu Mu was disgusted and had a displeased look on his face.
Nan Feng immediately stepped forward and kicked him away, "Get away, don't dirty His Highness's body."
Cheng Yiliu still had a bit of arrogance in her body before, but during the few months she was locked up here, her arrogance had been smoothed away a lot.
Because when she was first locked up, she made a scene, but she was almost beaten severely in return.
Gradually, she learned the lesson, began to put away her temper, and tried to minimize her presence, so that she could survive.
Although she was humiliated by Nanfeng, she was not angry at all. She knelt and moved her body away from Chu Mu.
This surprised Chu Mu, but he would not have any sympathy for her anymore.
The guard guarding the cell brought a chair, and Chu Mu sat down directly.
He looked at Cheng Yiliu and cut to the chase without talking nonsense to her, "Where is the real treasure map?"
After Cheng Yiliu was imprisoned in the dungeon, her residence was searched.
The treasure hunt map that Chu Mu showed to Chu Mu before, Chu Mu thought was real until he found the item from her residence.
After Nanfeng carefully compared it, he realized that it was fake.
It's a rubbing, made according to the real one, but some of the routes have been changed. If you don't study it carefully, you can't even find it.
During the time he was in bed, Nanfeng sent people to explore along this route, but found nothing.
Only then did I realize that her picture was fake.
"What is your Highness talking about? That picture of Liu'er is real. Wasn't it all searched by His Highness?"
Cheng Yiliu was stubborn and unwilling to admit it.
"I have never been patient, and I am even more impatient now."
"Nanfeng, get on the instrument of torture. Since the grown girl is not sincere, let her suffer again."
After Chu Mu finished speaking, a guard came forward, dragged Cheng Yiliu to the torture rack and tied him up.
Cheng Yiliu had suffered a lot here in the past two or three months. As soon as he was tied to the torture device, he began to tremble with fear.
But she did not give in, and still begged for mercy in an innocent tone, "Your Highness, I really did not lie to Your Highness. That picture is the original one I got from Xiantao Village. Your Highness, please look carefully!"
"Execution."
Chu Mu didn't talk nonsense anymore. He leaned on the back of the Taishi's chair, supported his head with one hand, and closed his eyes.
After a while, Cheng Yiliu's heartbreaking cry came.
Chu Mu frowned, and the look on his face added a bit of disgust.
Cheng Yiliu here has her hands tied to the torture rack. One of her hands is already bloody at the moment, and the torture guard standing aside is holding an iron pliers with a complete heart in it. nails.
"Continue!" Chu Mu moved his lips again.
There was another heartbreaking sound, followed by another and another.
It wasn't until all the nails on one finger were pulled out that the torture guard reported: "Your Highness, the person has fainted."
"Continue to wake up. Do you still need me to teach you?" Chu Mu's coercive voice sounded. The guard's heart trembled and he quickly told the guard next to him.
After a while, the guard brought in a basin of ice water.
The torture guard took it and poured it directly on Cheng Yiliu without any hesitation.
Cheng Yiliu took a deep breath and woke up directly from the cold.
From beginning to end, Chu Mu maintained the same posture without even opening his eyes.
"Say or not?" His voice was colder than the ice water poured on his body, and Cheng Yiliu felt a chill in his heart.
She fully knew that Chu Mu would not miss any of his old feelings this time.
"I said, I said." If this continues, she will die here, and she can't die yet.
"This treasure hunt map was given to me by the sect master of Shuiyun Pavilion. The real treasure hunt map is already in his hands."
"Master of Shuiyun Pavilion?" Chu Mu slowly opened his eyes and looked up at her.
Nanfeng on the side lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, Shuiyun Pavilion is a gang in the Jianghu, but it has always been fighting for fame and fortune in the Jianghu and has not interfered in the government affairs."
"Didn't you interfere in government affairs?"
If he believed it before, he doesn't believe it now.
The treasure map is what Shen Qianyi and the people behind him have always wanted. Now it can be concluded that there must be an inextricable relationship between Shuiyun Pavilion and Shen Qianyi and the others.
"So, Shen Qianyi has colluded with Shuiyun Pavilion?" Chu Mu asked Cheng Yiliu.
