"Ignore her, just treat her as if she never came. Just use torture. I will bear all the consequences."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
With such words, all the prison guards seemed to have taken a reassurance and answered happily.
"You just have to do your duty. This is the foot of the Emperor and the land of the king's law. I will never allow anyone to use his authority to interfere with you."
"Thank you, His Royal Highness."
"Well, continue to torture and use the criminal method you are best at to open the mouth of this damn greedy criminal."
After saying that, Situ Xinghen led Nangong Lan and Li Haoran out of the execution room and into the interrogation room next door.
"Wow, wow, I felt so good beating that nasty imperial concubine!"
Nangong Lan said excitedly.
Situ Xinghen glanced at her helplessly:
"You are such a stupid girl. Do you know that you are in big trouble?"
"Ah? I...what kind of trouble did I get into?"
"You dare to hit the imperial concubine, this...
Isn’t this a big disaster? If you were to judge the crime according to the laws of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, you would be guilty of rebellion."
"Yes. I was so angry just now that I felt a surge of anger rushing to my forehead. So without any hesitation, I rushed out and slapped her hard twice. So what should I do now?"
"There is no other way around this.
I only hope that my father can silence Han Chutian, obtain his testimony, find out the officials who have criminal dealings with him, and bring him to justice before questioning him."
"Xinghen, you don't have to worry too much. I believe the emperor is a sensible person."
Li Haoran looked at the two people with worried faces and hurriedly advised them.
"Well, there are many things that become complicated when a woman is involved.
It's not like you don't know that Concubine Han is my father's most favored concubine. I'm really worried that after the evidence of Han Chutian's crime is found out, my father still won't punish him according to the law.
In this case, how will our prosperous Tang Dynasty legislate? This will definitely cause dissatisfaction among officials and people."
