The prince had no chance to speak, but as soon as he rolled his eyes, he fainted completely.
Just as the prince fainted, several agile figures fell down, "Miss Yan, is there something serious?"
The leaders were none other than Leng Ye and three other secret guards.
Yan Mingzhu looked them up and down, and finally his eyes fell on Leng Ye, "Are you His Highness's people?"
Although this was the first time Yan Mingzhu met Leng Ye, he could guess it at a glance from his words and deeds.
"Yes, His Highness sent us here to protect Miss Yan. The situation was critical just now. Why didn't Miss Yan let us take action?"
Yan Mingzhu smiled and relaxed her wrist muscles, "They are just a few minions. There is no need for you to reveal your identity. By the way, how is His Highness's condition? Is the poison poisonous?"
The situation was urgent at that time, and Yan Mingzhu had not yet had time to figure out what kind of poison Qi Jue had been poisoned. If it was a poison that others could not detoxify, then she would have to go out quickly and detoxify Qi Jue before talking about anything else.
"Your Highness, he..."
Before he could get to the point, footsteps were heard outside, and Leng Ye immediately glanced at the other three secret guards, getting ready for a fight.
But she was stopped by Yan Mingzhu, "Please do me a favor."
With a bang, the moment the interrogation room door was opened, an anxious voice sounded: "Miss Yan!"
Ming Xingjian and his men rushed to Dali Temple as quickly as possible, but they were still a step too late. When they learned that the prince had gone ahead of them and brought several guards to the Tianlao, Ming Xingjian was extremely anxious.
Due to the grievances between Yan Mingzhu and the Pei family, and the fact that the Pei family is still the crown prince's mother's family, now Yan Mingzhu is locked up in the sky prison, and is told that the sky and the earth are not working, so the prince attacks Yan Mingzhu in a place like this.
, without knowing it!
Thinking of this, Ming Xingjian became even more anxious, wishing that he could grow wings and fly to Yan Mingzhu immediately.
Where, I rushed to the Tianlao in a hurry, only to find that there was no one in Tianzi No. 1 cell. I arrested a yamen officer and asked, only to find out that the prince and others had taken Yan Mingzhu directly to the interrogation room.
That is the most terrifying place in Dali Temple. Any prisoner who is brought to the interrogation room cannot come out without peeling off his skin!
The moment he opened the door to the interrogation room, Ming Xingjian's heart almost rose to his throat. Almost at a glance, he saw Yan Mingzhu tied to the wooden frame!
"Miss Yan!"
Yan Mingzhu was lowering his head, pretending to be extremely weak due to the pain, when he realized that the people coming were actually Ming Xingjian and the others.
Ming Zizhan quickly rushed forward, pulled out his sword, and quickly cut off the rope. Ming Xingjian hugged Yan Mingzhu at the same time. As soon as he touched her arm, he found that her clothes were torn in several places and there was even blood.
Overflow outward.
It was obvious from looking at the marks that they were left by being beaten with a whip or something like that.
Ming Xingjian clenched her palms. Even if she didn't see what happened in the interrogation room, she could still relate it by looking at the injuries on Yan Mingzhu's body.
Barely holding back her breath, Ming Xingjian carefully avoided Yan Mingzhu's injuries and picked her up from the wooden frame.
The yamen servant who followed them in found the mess and blood on the ground. When he took a closer look, he found that the four guards were dead, and the prince was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness?"
This frightened the government officials. If something happened to the prince in Dali Temple, they would not be able to kill him even if they had ten lives.
After taking a breath, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Still... still alive."
Ming Xingjian did not care about the life or death of the prince. She hugged Yan Mingzhu and left the interrogation room, strode out with a sullen face, and wanted to take her out of the prison.
The officer on duty outside was so frightened that he quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Ming, this is absolutely impossible. This girl is now guilty. She cannot leave Dali Temple without conclusive evidence!"
"Are you blind? Didn't you see the injuries on her body? You can't leave Dali Temple. Why, are you waiting for you to kill her before you can take her away?"
Not to mention the yamen servant, even Yan Mingzhu looked at Ming Xingjian in surprise.
If her memory is correct, this seems to be the first time she has heard Ming Xingjian say dirty words.
"Master Ming, this is also our responsibility. If we let this girl go, we will be the ones who lose our jobs. Please forgive us, Master Ming, for we really cannot leave the prison!"
Ming Xingjian was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and was about to take Yan Mingzhu away by force when she was gently tugged on her sleeve.
"I'm fine. It's just a little skin injury. It will be cured with some medicine. The case has not been solved yet. If I go out, even if I abscond in fear of crime, my innocence will become guilty by then."
Ming Xingjian gritted his teeth, and Ming Zizhan was not afraid of anything. He raised the sword in his hand and said angrily: "What's so scary? If the worst happens, we'll fight out. Miss Yan, how long have you been in Dali Temple, and they dare to torture you?"
,
If we arrive later, we don’t know what will happen, but in short, we must not leave you here!"
"The people who tortured me were not the government officials of Dali Temple, but the prince's gang. If I leave now, I will be following the wishes of the prince's group. Go back first, and I will tell you slowly."
Just at this time, Cai Siqing ran over panting, "What...what happened?"
"Sir, His Highness the Crown Prince fainted, and the four guards he brought with him are all...all dead!"
Cai Siqing was shocked, "What's going on?"
"Mr. Cai, your Majesty only asked Dali Temple to temporarily take Miss Yan into custody, but he did not allow you to lynching Miss Yan without permission. You still dare to ask what's going on here? I don't think you are a Dali Temple
Sir, I don’t want to be one anymore!”
Although Cai Siqing's official position is higher than that of Ming Xingjian, behind Ming Xingjian is the Ming family, the largest aristocratic family in the imperial capital, which is not something that he, a small Dali Si Qing, can offend.
Cai Siqing hurriedly defended himself: "Ming Shaoqing, I am wronged. I did not lynch Miss Yan San. I only temporarily detained her in the prison in accordance with your Majesty's order. But who knew that this would happen?"
His Royal Highness the Prince turned around and brought someone over,
As soon as I came to Dali Temple, I opened my mouth and said that I was here to interrogate the prisoner on His Majesty's order. As a humble minister of Dali Temple, how could I dare to go against His Highness the Crown Prince's will, so I had to let him go."
"According to Master Cai, as long as the official position is higher than yours, you don't dare to stop the other party and allow the other party to directly interrogate and execute the people in the sky prison at will without a letter of appointment?
Since Mr. Cai has done so little in the territory where you hold office, I will make it clear to Your Majesty that Mr. Cai is unworthy of his virtue and is not suitable to sit in the position of Minister of Dali Temple!"
