Chapter 49 Interrogation

Author: Raising cats every year

The prison is a forbidden prison in the palace. Only those who are unpardoned will be detained here. They will basically go there and never return. They will be directly detained in the prison without interrogation. Emperor Yong obviously had the real action against Zhang Sheng.

Playing with the token given to him by Emperor Yong, Li Mingji followed behind the imperial guards and walked into the prison.

The imprisoned soldiers whispered a few words with the jailer guarding the gate. The jailer's expression immediately became respectful and he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Li Yu, please."

This is a dark and narrow corridor.

The sound of water was ticking around, and the unpleasant smell of rotten and blood penetrated into the tip of his nose. Even the forbidden soldiers who came in with Li Mingji were also stinged by the cold breath. However, the young man in front of him looked calm and he didn't even frown.

The prison guard was also secretly surprised. Those who were admitted to the prison for the first time would be more or less frightened. With such a mind, it is no wonder that they were appreciated by Emperor Yong.

After walking out of the corridor, the road under your feet became spacious. The iron railing separated the area. At the end, Zhang Sheng was stripped of his clothes and dressed in a white prison uniform, curled up on the straw.

Hearing the footsteps, he thought it was Emperor Yong, so he opened his eyes and staggered and stood up: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty! I have something to say!"

"What does Commander Zhang want to say?"

The young man had a gentle voice, and Zhang Sheng suddenly looked up and saw Li Mingji's face.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It's you..."

If this ungrateful guard hadn't stood in front of Princess Huaxi, he would have already taken off Princess Huaxi's neck!

Li Mingji did not look at him, turned to look at the prison guard, raised his cold white finger: "Put him there."

That is the most empty place in the prison.

The blood on the floor had long dried up, the iron chains on the wooden frames were rusty, and the torture instruments with ferocious faces were lined up, like the verdict of death.

The prison guard received the order and went to the imperial guards to pick up Zhang Sheng and tied him to a wooden stand.

Zhang Sheng sneered: "Loyals who worship the king and forget their bodies, and those who follow the country and forget their families. If you are the one who is in a stern state, why not be afraid of death? You can't help but coerce our general!" [1]

"Mingji is just following orders to act, so how can he say coercion?" Li Mingji smiled slightly, "Mingji has no intention of taking Chief Zhang's life, Chief Zhang is so serious."

His eyes casually swept across the torture instruments.

"Operation on order?" Zhang Sheng's smile even more mocked, "It's a pity that your flattery was used in the wrong place. In the eyes of Princess Huaxi, you are just a more useful dog! She doesn't like you at all!"

The curses were harsh, and Li Mingji smiled unchanged on his lips, and he picked up a long whip.

In his previous life, Xiao Sui entered Beijing and was the city gate opened by Zhang Sheng. Before Emperor Yong’s family could react, they were surrounded by the imperial guards led by Zhang Sheng and lost the critical opportunity to win.

The little princess and Emperor Yong's family were detained in the prison respectively. Li Mingji didn't know what the little princess had experienced in the prison. He only knew that after he rescued the little princess, the little princess who had to cry even if he even took medicine, did not say a word during the long bumps and slept very heavily.

She became sensitive and suspicious, cautious, and would collapse from time to time, and she no longer had the domineering look in her eyes.

Now that Zhang Sheng has fallen into his hands, he will naturally settle the new and old hatreds with him one by one.

It starts with these torture instruments.

What Li Mingji is best at is making life worse than death.

"Speaking of this, Mingji has something to ask Chief Zhang for advice," Li Mingji said, "The princess and Chief Zhang have no grudges and revenge. Why does Chief Zhang frequently target the princess?"

"No grievance or revenge?" Zhang Sheng laughed, with a raging fire burning in his eyes. "The eldest princess Yongning has already married as a wife. His Majesty gave the eldest princess a marriage and gave Shu Jing an extraordinary title. He has given many preferential treatments to the Qinyang Hou family, but she is not satisfied and forced her to die to raise Princess Huaxi!"

"Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has accepted advice and is kind and self-cultivated. He should have become a wise king of a generation, but he made exceptions for Princess Yongning's family several times, renamed Xingguo Temple to Ning'an Temple, and favored Princess Huaxi, disregarding etiquette and human ethics, and shook the hearts of ministers. If Princess Huaxi is not eliminated for a day, it will surely lead to a disaster!"

"I grew up with Your Majesty, studied my homework together and discussed the affairs of the country. In order to assist Your Majesty, I would give up on becoming an eunuch and be willing to become an eunuch and never marry him for life. Taizu reunified the country, and Your Majesty shouldered the responsibility of carrying forward the past. How could he be stuck with his niece? The Empress Dowager helped Your Majesty to ascend the throne, and she would understand my good intentions..."

For the sake of Yong Dynasty's great cause, he would never marry himself? He would put a high hat on himself. Li Mingji smiled and played with the long whip in his hand, saying, "General Zhang is so great, I hope you will keep this heart when you are tortured."

...

Shu Yao did not dream in the middle of the night, and she slept very peacefully, surrounded by a reassuring and cold fragrance.

After waking up, Shu Yao yawned and called the pine needle in and said, "Where is Li Mingji?"

"Li Langjun left last night and said he was going to Yanshou Palace and had not come back yet."

The pine needle felt sore. In the past, the princess called her first when she opened her eyes. It was only a while before she could change the person.

"I haven't come back yet..."

Shu Yao muttered.

After washing, she went to the front hall for breakfast. She was about to go to Yanshou Palace to ask about the details, but Li Mingji stepped over the threshold and walked into Huaxi Palace.

"Why did you come back!"

Shu Yao said that and then rushed towards him. As soon as she approached, she frowned, "Why does it smell blood on you? Let me see."

She had preconceived ideas and always felt that if she was not by Li Mingji's side, someone would definitely bully him. Li Mingji would tolerate it again, and maybe there were new injuries on her body, but she just didn't tell him.

"I went to the prison to meet Zhang Sheng," Li Mingji did not hide it, "Princess, it's not my blood."

Last night, the prison guards and the imprisoned soldiers watched his slender fingers soaked in blood, and his face was as old as before, without blinking. Although he did not close his eyes all night, there was no sign of fatigue on Li Mingji's face.

Thinking of Zhang Sheng, Shu Yao frowned in disgust. It was not enough to harm her, but she actually wanted to harm her grandmother! I don’t know how her grandmother’s health is now.

Li Mingji seemed to be able to understand her thoughts, "The princess doesn't have to worry. The subordinates just returned from Yanshou Palace. The empress dowager's condition has improved, and the imperial physicians are also studying ways to cure the disease."

The problem is indeed the "cold spring flowers".

Last night, Zhang Sheng was interrogated and Zhang Sheng only said that he was an accident. The cold spring flowers are cold in nature and can harm people's spleen and stomach, which is similar to the liver and stomach stagnation and heat. As for the detoxification method, he did not know.

However, Li Mingji already had an idea in his mind.

Shu Yao finally had a smile on her face. She held her chin and looked at Li Mingji for a while, grabbed his sleeve, "Come here, follow the princess to the hot spring pool to take a shower."

She wants to wash him clean.

Pine Needle and Chunrui stared at each other with big eyes:??

Why did the night pass and the relationship between the princess and Li Mingji undergo some incomprehensible changes?
