The air in the imperial study room is filled with a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere, as if you can squeeze out the moisture by grabbing a handful of air. Ambergris is burning in the incense burner, and the smoke fills the imperial study room. It is so misty that there is actually a mist.
The hazy feeling of looking at flowers inside.
Long Chen also stood in front of the window lattice with his hands folded, his handsome face was gloomy and cold, his eyes as deep as ancient pools were covered with a layer of frost that could not be melted away, and his whole body was exuding a chilly air from the inside out.
He just stood still, like a figure carved out of ice, perfect and filled with endless chill, turning the entire imperial study into a thousand-year cold cellar, the air condensed into ice, and the temperature was bone-chilling.
At that time, a dark figure appeared in the imperial study like a gust of wind, kneeling respectfully behind the cold-faced emperor in front of the window, "Master, there is news that the Beiteng Kingdom and its envoy team have left the Beiteng realm and traveled to the desert.
The desert areas of the north.
According to the report from the spies, a month ago, Prince Hexuan of the Beiteng Kingdom paid tribute to the Lianyun Kingdom and mentioned his marriage to the Lianyun Kingdom. On the way back, there was no trace of Prince Hexuan. Now Prince Hexuan is not in Beiteng.
Teng is not in Lianyun either!"
Long Chen Yi's handsome face was as cold as ice, and his cold eyes were darker and more gloomy. After a few seconds of silence, his deep and cold voice sounded in the imperial study: "How is the investigation of the assassin's case?"
"Master, those dancers were invited by Liyuefang from Wanhua Tower in the capital." Hongyi replied respectfully, "My subordinates checked at Wanhua Tower and found out that the captured female assassin was from Wanhua Tower."
There is a dancing girl and oiran in there, but my subordinates are incompetent and haven’t found out who is behind her.”
Long Chenyi's cold eyes narrowed slightly, with a dangerous and frightening aura. He turned around and glanced at Hongyi, who was lying on the ground, "Go to Tianlao" and then walked out of the imperial study room with an expressionless face.
On the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison, serious criminals are imprisoned. As long as they are imprisoned on the ninth floor of the Heavenly Prison, it will be difficult for them to escape even if they have extraordinary abilities. It is even more difficult for outsiders to get in.
At this time, in the cell on the ninth floor of the Tianlao, a dying woman with her head hanging down was tied to the iron pillar of the cross with iron chains. Her arms and feet were fixed and tied. Apart from the light body, the woman had nothing but
A veil covering the chest and lower body.
The uncovered area revealed a body of white flesh, and the skin of the exposed white flesh was torn and crisscrossed with horrifying whip marks. It was obvious that the woman was being tortured.
Painful and pitiful moans constantly overflowed from the woman's throat. Because her mouth was stuffed with cloth, no matter how painful she was, she could only moan and whimper.
"Subordinates see the Emperor" When they saw Long Chen personally coming to the Heavenly Prison to interrogate the assassin, the chamberlains guarding the Heavenly Prison rushed forward to greet him and knelt on the ground.
Long Chen also walked up to the woman expressionlessly, glanced at the dying woman with gloomy eyes, turned around and sat on a chair nearby, and said coldly: "Didn't she say anything?"
"Replying to the Emperor, this assassin is very tough-talking and even after being tortured, he still didn't say anything." The chamberlain who performed the flogging bowed his head and replied respectfully.
This result was expected by Long Chenyi. He looked coldly at the woman in red who was covered in injuries and in a coma, and ordered Hongyi: "Bring salt water and wake her up!!"
Hong Yi nodded and said, "Yes" and turned around to get a basin of salt water next to her. With a "pop", she poured it all on the female assassin's body that was full of whip pain.
“Woooo——!!!”
Suddenly, miserable and painful whimpering sounds were heard, and salt water seeped into the woman's injured wound. The pain of pouring salt on the wound made the tied woman wake up from her coma, raising her head and screaming in agony.
The woman's pale face was covered with tears. The extreme tearing pain in her body caused her whole body to throb non-stop. She wished she could die immediately rather than suffer such inhuman pain.
She bit the cloth in her mouth tightly with her teeth, and the blood on her lips had already dyed the cloth in her mouth red. Her eyes, which were originally charming and enchanting, were now frighteningly red, as if they were about to drip blood.
People are scary.
She was wailing in pain while looking angrily at Long Chenyi who was sitting in front of him with her blood-red eyes. Her resentful and resentful eyes seemed to spit poisonous arrows, and she wanted to cut him into pieces and cut him into thousands of pieces.
.
After receiving the female assassin's resentful eyes, Long Chen also shrank his cold eyes, put his arms on his legs, played with the jade fingers on his thumbs, and ordered: "Take off the cloth from her mouth, don't let her have it."
Bite your tongue when you get the chance!"
Hong Yi quickly stepped forward and took out the cloth from the female assassin's mouth, took out a packet of powder and poured it into the female assassin's mouth, and then retreated behind Long Chenyi.
"ah--!!!"
"Kill me, I won't say anything!!"
When she could speak, the first thing the woman uttered was a heart-rending, horrifying sound, a sharp and piercing sound of pain, and a wailing cry for death. She really wanted to die at this moment, this kind of painful flesh-cutting and bone-gnawing pain.
, make her want to die immediately, give her a happy life.
"Death is a relief for you, why should I give you a relief?" Long Chenyi had a gloomy and bloodthirsty smile on his lips, exuding the death aura of the devil in hell. "You want to die, but I want to."
You are alive and you are not afraid of death, but I will make you suffer a life that is worse than death!"
"Humph, just give up on this idea. Even if I am worse off than dead, I will not betray my master." The female assassin is a loyal warrior to her master. She will never betray her master because she cannot bear the punishment.
Even though she was suffering a lot of pain from this guest, she would still grit her teeth and get through it.
"hehe--"
Long Chen also smiled coldly, "You think your master is a god, but in my eyes he is just an insignificant worm. Even if you don't tell me, I know who he is."
"Huh, what a joke." The female assassin sneered, her pale face showing undisguised ridicule and contempt. "Since you know, why bother asking me? Don't try to get even a shred of information out of me. Let me tell you, it's impossible.
, don’t think in vain.”
"I didn't ask you. It seems that I should tell you what I am doing here." Long Chen also raised his hand slightly and ordered in a cold voice. "Come here, bring me here!!"
After Long Chenyi finished speaking, two internal servants took a man with wounds all over his body, a rag in his mouth, signs on his feet and hands, and tied up with iron chains into the cell with difficulty.
The female assassin raised her eyes to look at the man who was being led into the prison. At this sight, the woman's eyes widened immediately. A trace of surprise flashed through her originally dull eyes, but it was fleeting, and the woman immediately returned to her original state.
She looked away at the man and looked at Long Chenyi with a sneer, "Your Majesty is kind and afraid that I will suffer alone and be lonely, so you sent someone to accompany me to suffer. Thank you very much."
