"We came out at such a time. It seems that they know every move we make." At this time, Shu Yao became more and more worried about Zhuxi's situation.
Shu Yaofeng narrowed her eyes slightly and saw that the man was majestic, with several officers and soldiers behind him. He was striding towards him. Before the people arrived, the voice came first, and the voice was extremely sharp, "Dali Temple is in charge of prisons, and the harem is not allowed to interfere with state affairs."
."
Shu Yaolian snorted coldly, threatening her if she came or not. She was not to be frightened.
Ji Feng had an angry look on his face, "Master Sun is so majestic! How dare you not kneel down when you see the Imperial Concubine!"
Hearing this, Sun Fangfa turned to look at Shu Yao, nodded slightly and said solemnly: "My Lady, Dali Temple is an important place, and no idlers are allowed to enter."
"Everyone is waiting?!" Shu Yao curled her lips and smiled, her phoenix eyes tinged with a cold and stern color, and she pushed aside Ji Feng who was protecting her in front of her.
"Lord Sun, it seems that in your eyes, you have quite a bit of criticism towards the newly appointed imperial concubine who is also the deputy empress!" He stared at the seemingly mighty and unyielding man in front of him, his voice as cold as a knife.
When Sun Fuxing heard this, he immediately calmed down. It seemed that the empress in front of him came with bad intentions, "I don't dare, I don't dare. I just kindly reminded the empress and I am not disrespectful to you."
Shu Yao's beautiful eyes were full of anger, "I think you are very brave."
Sun Fuxing lowered his head and said nothing. Shu Yao didn't want to talk too much nonsense with him, so he asked straight to the point: "Is my maid Zhuxi imprisoned here by you?"
Sun Dingfa did not hesitate and said bluntly: "Exactly." Now that he has found this place, he must have come prepared.
Shu Yao asked coldly: "I wonder what crime my maid has committed to deserve to be imprisoned in a place like Dali Temple?"
Sun Fafa stood with his hands behind his back, with a serious expression on his face, "I am being interrogated under the orders of the Empress Dowager. I will naturally release you when the case is clear."
"Lord Sun, you have such great official authority, but you secretly arrested my maid without my permission?"
Sun Fangfa nodded and lowered his eyebrows, "The Emperor and the Queen Mother have decreed, and the ministers are just obeying orders."
"Master Sun, my maid has been detained by you for a long time. It's time to finish asking any questions you have. Please also ask Master Sun to release my maid." Although Shu Yao's words were not rude, her words were forceful.
Sun Fuxing had a sneer on his lips and did not take her seriously, "I beg your pardon for not agreeing."
He paused for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty should be under grounding right now. If you run out like this, you are disobeying the Queen Mother's will. If you are guilty, you will be punished..."
"Why, you still want to punish me?" Shu Yao narrowed her eyes coldly. It was obvious that she was angry, and the consequences would be serious.
A cold light flashed in Sun Fuxing's eyes, and he did not give Shu Yao any face, "I don't dare, but this Dali Temple is not the Dali Temple of the concubines in the harem, but of the Daqing Dynasty. If the empress insists on having her own way, I will not do it."
Would you mind inviting me to Dali Temple for tea?"
Shu Yao smiled coldly, "Very good, I will remember you!"
Sun Codex casually clasped his hands together with an arrogant attitude, "Mother Lao, remember this, but I will report truthfully that I ignored the Queen Mother's orders, broke out of the palace privately, and violated our Dali Temple."
Facing the threat of the man in front of her, Shu Yao responded with a contemptuous sneer. At this critical moment, she could not delay any longer, otherwise Zhuxi would be in danger of her life.
I heard from Jifeng that this Dali Temple is not a place for people. Anyone who goes in will shed their skin even if they don't die.
Moreover, facing such a arrogant, perverse and domineering person, one must give him a heavy blow, otherwise, not only will one not be able to save the person, but one will also be threatened by him.
It seems that this person must be a minion of the Empress Dowager.
Shu Yao didn't want to deal with it anymore, but took out the dragon jade pendant given to her by Gong Yun'ao from her waist. It shined in front of their eyes, and then she said coldly: "Open your eyes and see clearly what this is."
?”
The sudden appearance of the dragon jade pendant made Sun Dingfa's eyes show surprise. Isn't this his majesty's dragon jade pendant? This jade pendant is no small matter. It is a more authoritative token than the golden medal arrow.
Seeing the dragon jade pendant is like His Majesty's presence. The emperor's relatives can be beheaded, and the civil and military officials can be beheaded. There is no need to ask His Majesty for instructions. They can be beheaded first and then reported.
Moreover, what is even more frightening is that this dragon jade pendant can mobilize the shadow guard organizations in various states and counties of His Majesty, and the command of the shadow guard makes Qi Xuanxin even more powerful. When things are unresolved, he does not need to ask for an order to be executed first, and he has the right to act expediently.
.
Therefore, when he saw the dragon jade pendant in Shu Yao's hand, he was immediately frightened, sweating coldly on his head, and lost his previous arrogant style. He hurriedly knelt down and knelt down, "Long live my emperor!"
He was extremely frightened. With it, it was equivalent to getting the lifeline of Daqing, the main force of Daqing. This is a symbol of supreme authority!
It seems that His Majesty cared deeply about this woman and gave his life to her to show his bottomless love for her.
"Seeing that Your Majesty is here in person, why don't you quickly release the maid of this palace?" Shu Yao said violently, which made Sun Faxian shrink in fright. He hurriedly got up and led the way, "Your Majesty, please come this way!"
Shu Yao accepted the dragon jade pendant and followed closely. Then, she turned her head and whispered to Ji Feng, "Why is Master Liang not here at this time?"
"It seems that it was arranged by someone thoughtful." Ji Feng glanced at Sun Dingxing in front of him, and because of fear, he walked quickly.
Shu Yao signaled with her eyes and whispered: "Go and find him."
"Yes." After saying that, Jifeng jumped up and disappeared in front of people.
There are layers of guards in the Tiandou, and the Dali Temple is heavily guarded. Without the dragon jade pendant of the third brother, it is probably impossible to enter.
As we walked deeper into the prison, a disgusting smell of mildew mixed with dampness hit our face...
"ah…"
Shu Yao heard the echoes of screams coming one after another from a distance...
It's so scary and miserable.
She seemed to have seen this kind of scene too many times, and she didn't feel the slightest bit afraid.
Shu Yao frowned. The voice was clearly that of a woman. Could it be...
Thinking of this, Shu Yao's heart skipped a beat, she pushed away Sun Dingfa who was blocking his way, and ran straight forward...
An unspeakable feeling of anxiety, an inexplicable uneasiness is spreading...
"Miss, I'm so scared!" Zhu Ju, who was following Shu Yao, had never seen such a battle before. She heard the screams that penetrated people's hearts, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"I'm here, what are you afraid of?" Shu Yao patted Zhu Ju who was cowering beside her, with a calm and calm expression on her face.
Shu Yao didn't know Sun Difang's evil intentions. If he sincerely let her go and didn't lure her here, she would naturally let him go.
The reason why he did this was simply to let her see the gloomy, terrifying, and severe side of Dali Temple. He wanted to make her afraid, timid, and frightened, thereby intimidating her.
Entering inside, as far as the eye can see, there is a dazzling array of torture instruments hanging on the wall.
Shu Yao looked at her coldly, without any fear in her heart. She just felt pity for the maid Zhuju next to her. She was so scared that she shrank beside her, hugged her arm, and did not dare to look directly.
Sun Fuxing walked quickly in front, glanced sideways at the two people behind him, and a cold smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
In the dark night prison, the dim prison lights made Shu Yao's vision unclear.
She took a few more steps, and then she saw clearly that there was an unconscious woman tied to the bloody cross. Her long disheveled hair covered half of her face, and there was blood and foam at the corners of her mouth.
All flowed down.
There were whip marks on her torn body, and ten slender steel needles were inserted into her slender fingers. The blood was flowing. Her whole body was twitching, her knees were slightly bent, and her whole body was drooping, lifeless.
Seeing such a scene, Shu Yao's heart trembled and it completely hurt her eyes. With red eyes, she came to the unconscious woman and pushed her wet hair away with both hands...
In her anxious and uneasy voice, she whispered: "Zhuxi?"
Seeing that she didn't respond, Shu Yao called again: "Zhuxi?"
Zhuju watched in horror as her good sister was subjected to such brutal torture. Her heart ached so much that she couldn't bear it anymore and cried out in pain: "Zhuxi?"
Zhuju's hands and feet were in a panic and she didn't know what to do. She didn't dare to touch her because she had too many scars on her body, and she was afraid of accidentally hurting her wounds and causing her pain again.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear Shu Yao whispering in her ear. Zhuxi slowly raised her head and opened her heavy eyelids. In the hazy state, she seemed to see her master...
Immediately, a sad smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Xi's lips, and he weakly called out: "Empress, you are finally... here..."
There was an intermittent broken murmur, which made Shu Yao feel sad and distressed. Her outstretched hand was stuck in the air.
Immediately, he looked at Sun Difang suddenly, his eyes were like swords, and his voice was as cold as ice, "She is a weak woman, what unforgivable crime has she committed, and she wants you to use such a heavy punishment to torture her? Who gave her the punishment?
How brave are you?"
Sun Dingfa's expression changed, and he hurriedly leaned over to salute, "The minister also acted in accordance with the orders of the Empress Dowager. Zhuxi refused to confess and offended the Empress Dowager. Therefore, the Empress Dowager sent her to Dali Temple in anger for investigation."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "clang" sound, and Shu Yao pulled out the saber from the waist of the officer and soldier on the side.
Immediately, there were only two "snaps" heard, and the iron chain binding Zhuxi was split open by a sharp sword, and Zhuxi instantly slid down like soft mud.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Zhu Ju immediately hugged the limp Zhu Xi. She sobbed softly, "Zhu Xi, it's okay. We will take you home right now."
"Zhuju, why are you here too?" Zhuxi said with difficulty, then suddenly his vision went dark and he fainted.
Zhuju was so anxious that she cried out: "Zhuxi!"
With a worried look on her face, Shu Yao immediately squatted down, placed her fingers on Zhu Xi's scarred wrist, and carefully took the pulse.
Sun Fuxing's heart sank. He did not expect that the imperial concubine would have such courage and dare to rob the prison cell. He had not been able to get a strong testimony for the matter assigned by the Empress Dowager. How could he let her go just as she said?
If he lets her go, how should he deliver the goods? If he doesn't let her go, looking at the attitude of the imperial concubine, she won't let it go. She has the dragon jade pendant given by the emperor himself. If the emperor comes in person, he can't afford to offend anyone!
After lingering for a long time, Sun Dingfa felt that he was well-founded and acted according to the Queen Mother's will. Besides, the dragon jade pendant in her hand was very important. Your Majesty would really give the token to a favorite concubine to save her.
A little palace maid?
She might have stolen it because he couldn't tell the difference. When the time came, he read a copy of the Emperor's Concubine and said that she stole His Majesty's Dragon Jade Pendant first to save the maid, and then disobeyed the Emperor and the Empress.
He also broke into Dali Temple privately and interfered in the government affairs of the previous dynasty.
Thinking of this, he felt more and more justified, so he still went his own way and argued with reason, "Your Majesty, this is the will of the Empress Dowager. I am a minister who obeys orders and obeys the law. What's wrong with that? To be offensive, if your Majesty does it right,
I’m not afraid of Wei Chen going to investigate..."
When Shu Yao heard this, thunder suddenly rose between her brows.
