Bai Wanrou saw something wrong with Bai Qingting's expression, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart.
Brother, are you blaming yourself?
Otherwise, why would he have such an expression on his face?
But those killers just now were none of his brother's business. Why does he blame himself so much?
Of course she couldn't imagine that Bai Qingting was blaming himself for not being able to protect her, and felt that he was useless.
Bai Wanrou thought about it for a moment, but simply, no one was hurt just now.
A smile appeared on her lips, she looked at Bai Qingting and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you? But what do you want to say?"
Upon hearing her question, Bai Qingting turned his head and looked at her.
Seeing the bright smile on Bai Wanrou's lips, his heart was stabbed hard.
If the palace guards hadn't appeared to stop the killer just now, Wanrou would have been in danger.
But he can't do anything and will cause trouble to Wanrou.
The hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, and his nails dug deeply into his flesh, but he felt no pain.
At this time, his heart was filled with huge self-blame, and he kept cursing himself for being incompetent and unable to even protect his sister.
Thinking this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head at Bai Wanrou.
"It's my brother who is incompetent and couldn't protect you at the critical moment." There was a strong sense of self-blame in his tone.
Bai Wanrou heard it keenly. She looked at Bai Qingting, a hint of helplessness flashed across her face.
Immediately she walked towards Bai Qingting, raised her hand and put it on his shoulder, saying in a comforting tone: "Brother, please don't blame yourself, this is not your fault."
Hearing this, Bai Qingting felt even more ashamed.
He gritted his teeth secretly and made a major decision in his heart.
He must train hard and become stronger. If he encounters this kind of situation again in the future, she can protect Wanrou.
I will never be lazy again!
Of course, Bai Wanrou didn't know the decision in his heart.
She saw a hint of hope suddenly appear on Bai Qingting's face, and thought he had figured it out.
Faced with such a bloody storm, Song Yinhua was so frightened that her legs were weak, her whole body hung on Bai Wanrou's body, and her face turned pale.
Bai Wanrou glanced at her, with a flash of distress in her eyes: "There's nothing going on now. Shall Yin'er and brother go back and rest?"
Hearing this, Song Yinhua suppressed the nausea in her heart. With a pale face, she shook her head towards Bai Wan and said firmly: "No, I want to accompany you, and you must be extremely scared."
Bai Wanrou slightly curled her lips.
In fact, when she saw the bloody and cruel scene, she was not that scared.
But she didn't plan to explain to Song Yinhua.
At this time, Lin Yi had already pressed the remaining killer forward.
The killer's body was covered in bruises, and the strong smell of blood made Song Yinhua's face even paler.
Bai Wanrou quickly waved her hand to Lin Yi, telling him to take him away.
Lin Yi understood and quickly escorted the person back.
"Princess, should you let your subordinates interrogate you?" Lin Yi respectfully said to Bai Wanju.
Hearing his words, Bai Wanrou shook her head: "No, I want to interrogate him personally."
With that said, she let go of Song Yinhua and walked towards the killer.
Behind them, Song Yinhua and Bai Qingting looked at each other.
Both of them knew that when Bai Wanrou interrogated the killer, there must be some things that should not be known to outsiders.
Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, they all said to Bai Wanrou: "Wanrou, let's leave first."
Hearing this, Bai Wanrou turned her head, smiled and nodded at the two of them: "Okay, you are also very tired today, go back and rest."
After Song Yinhua and Bai Qingting left, Bai Wanrou began to interrogate.
On the way back, Song Yinhua and Bai Qingting rarely argued again.
The two walked quietly with their heads lowered, and when they were about to separate, they both raised their heads.
They also saw Bai Wanrou's tired look just now.
It is clear that Wanrou is exhausted, but she still continues to interrogate the killer.
Moreover, she was the one who was about to be assassinated just now, but in order not to worry them, she pretended not to care.
In fact, she must have been extremely scared in her heart.
For a moment, Song Yinhua's face was dark, and Bai Wanrou felt extremely distressed.
Bai Qingting's face didn't look good either, and she began to blame herself again.
As Wanrou's brother, not only could he not protect Wanrou, but he could only blame himself here in the most useless way.
Really incompetent!
The two of them went to their respective rooms separately with their own concerns.
And the other side.
Lin Yi asked Bai Wanrou to avoid it, but Bai Wanrou refused to leave. She realized that Lin Yi might use extremely bloody and cruel interrogation methods, so she turned around.
"I won't watch, you can continue the interrogation." She said calmly.
Seeing this, Lin Yi sighed and ordered the guards to come up with various torture instruments.
Those things were creepy just to look at, but there was a hint of disdain on the killer's face.
If he can become a well-trained killer, he won't be frightened by these little tricks.
Lin Yi nodded, and the guards understood and began to torture him to extract a confession.
But half an hour passed, and the killer's body was already a bloody mess, with not a single good piece of flesh left.
But his mouth was tightly closed, and he had endured it for so long without even spitting out a word.
Seeing this, Lin Yi shook his head helplessly.
They tried every method they needed to use, but this man's bones were very hard, and he had to endure it for so long, so he just kept his mouth shut and kept silent.
Even he admired the killer in his heart.
Bai Wanrou had been listening to the situation just now. Seeing that the killer refused to speak, she pointed and shook her head and sighed.
After a long time, Bai Wanrou came up with a good idea.
At this time, Lin Yi stepped forward and looked at her worriedly: "Princess, why don't you go back and rest, and we can interrogate the killer."
Hearing his words, Bai Wanrou glanced at the killer who was on the verge of fainting.
He knew clearly in his heart that if he went back to rest, Lin Yi would probably beat the killer to death and he would never be able to get an answer.
She sighed: "I thought of a good way."
Hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes showed a hint of curiosity.
Seeing Bai Wanrou waving to her, he quickly stretched his head over.
Bai Wanrou leaned into his ear and whispered: "Do you know what methods northerners use to train eagles?"
Lin Yi shook his head with confusion on his face.
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou's eyes revealed a mysterious smile: "That's Bo Ying."
"He was not allowed to sleep for several days and nights. He couldn't bear the huge pressure, so naturally he said everything."
Hearing this, Lin Yi glanced at the killer and asked Bai Wanrou doubtfully: "Princess, this person is no better than an eagle. Will this method work?"
Bai Wanrou clicked her tongue: "An eagle's endurance is much stronger than that of a human being. Even a hawk cannot bear the punishment. Of course, a human being cannot bear it, not to mention that he has been beaten for half an hour."
After hearing Bai Wanrou's words, Lin Yi felt that this was also true.
He decided to give it a try. Any other torture methods would be useless now.
What if the method Bai Wanrou said works?
Thinking of this, he was about to order someone to do it when he heard Bai Wanrou say again: "Go and prepare some sleeping pills, feed them all to the killer, and then have his body whipped every quarter of an hour to prevent him from sleeping.
.”
"For a long time, even if he is an iron man, he cannot withstand this pressure."
Hearing this, although Lin Yi agreed to give it a try, he still had some doubts about the effectiveness of Bai Wanrou's method.
Seeing his expression, Bai Wanrou immediately guessed what he was thinking.
She shook her head and pushed his shoulder: "Go and try it. If it doesn't work, you can use other methods."
Hearing this, Lin Yi nodded, turned around and asked someone to prepare sleeping pills.
At this time, Luzhu and Qingtang came over.
The two of them held a soft blanket in their hands and carefully put it on Bai Wanrou's body.
Lu Zhu looked at Bai Wanrou's tired face and said worriedly: "Miss, you'd better go and rest."
Hearing this, Bai Wanrou nodded.
She had always been vigilant, and she was indeed a little tired.
So I followed Luzhu and Qingtang back to their room to rest.
In the room, Lu Zhu thoughtfully made the bed, and together with Qingtang, helped Bai Wanrou take off her clothes and shoes, and covered her with the quilt.
The second day.
As soon as Bai Wanrou woke up from bed, she quickly went to the ground to see the results of the interrogation.
But the housekeeper hurriedly ran in and knelt down towards her: "Report to the princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are here!"
After the words fell, Bai Wanrou's eyes revealed a look of astonishment.
Why are they here? Is it possible that they heard the news so soon?
She had a bad feeling in her heart. These two people came suddenly to inquire about the news.
"Invite them into the front hall first..."
Before she finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door.
"Let's meet the princess here...ah! What is this?!"
The voice was suddenly filled with panic, as if he had seen something extremely horrifying.
Bai Wanrou's face changed slightly and she quickly walked out.
Sure enough, I saw Zheng Chen and Zheng Yao standing outside the door.
They looked at the bloody and cruel scene in the yard, their faces full of panic and turned pale.
Zheng Yao was relatively calm. He forced himself to calm down. Looking at Bai Wanrou, his voice trembled unconsciously: "May I ask the princess, what happened here?"
After hearing his words, Bai Wanrou showed him a reassuring smile: "Third Prince, don't be afraid. The palace killed the assassin last night, which is why this bloody scene was left."
"But it's no big deal now."
Hearing his explanation, Zheng Yao's eyes showed a hint of deep meaning.
Zheng Chen reacted, looked at Bai Wanrou, and spoke first: "Princess, I think you should be kept alive. It's not easy to interrogate you as a member of my daughter's family."
"Why don't you just hand over the killer and let us help you interrogate him?"
When Bai Wanrou heard his words, she knew what was on his mind.
Of course she won't hand him over.
He just smiled at Zheng Chen and Zheng Yao and said, "I won't bother His Highness the Crown Prince. This killer came after me, so I should be the one to interrogate him."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince have come all the way. They must be thirsty. Why not go to the front hall for a cup of tea?"
