After carefully interrogating Shaoyao, he confirmed that she did not know Wen Shiyue's whereabouts.

Wu Jin brought a cup of poisoned wine and said, "You must pay with your life for your murder. Go to the underworld and atone your sins to Zhen Shaoyao."

When she was fed the medicine, she drank it very cooperatively. For people like them, if they fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be a good ending if they could escape without suffering.

After taking the poison, she soon passed away. There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and I don't know if she was crying for herself.

Gu Hanzhou felt a chill in his heart as he watched from the side. Jiang Xuening chuckled and said, "Since you have already endured the pain of face replacement, then try the pain of skinning. You should be familiar with the means of torture. If you don't tell the truth, I will do it to you one by one."

When he was the regent, he often used torture to punish those who opposed him. Of course he knew how painful it was.

Hearing her say this, he couldn't help but change his expression, "If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I promise you will never see Wen Shiyue again!"

Jiang Xue Ning was not going to fall for this obvious threat. "It doesn't matter. With you buried with him, he can rest in peace in his grave."

Gu Tangli hated him the most, and kicked him on the knee rudely, "I'll dig out your kneecap first."

An experienced jailer stepped forward and dug out his right kneecap with a sharp knife.

"Ah! I'm going to kill you!"

"You must die a good death!"

Jiang Xue Ning said expressionlessly, "I said this is just the beginning, enjoy it."

The group left the prison and returned to the palace. Jiang Li saw that Mu Linlang looked unhappy and asked, "Didn't you find out where Wen Shiyue is?"

She smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it will be bad."

Jiang Li said, "I have already issued an order to impose martial law throughout the city, and posted notices to find Master Wen's whereabouts. I have also sent people out to look for him."

Mu Linlang knew that they had tried their best, so she cheered up and said, "I hope he will be blessed with a long life."

After that day, no one went to the dark cell to see Gu Hanzhou anymore. All he did was torture him day and night.

Mu Linlang carefully observed the exchanges between Xiang and Chu. She hoped that she could grow up as soon as possible and lead Mobei to prosperity.

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. Mu Linlang planned to wait for another seven days. If there was still no news from Wen Shiyue, she would return to Mobei first.

Jiang Xue Ning was preparing to hold a winter banquet on the day of the beginning of winter, which would also be a farewell banquet.

Everyone is discussing how to make it more fun.

Qing He came hurriedly, "There's a man at the door, claiming to be Wen Shiyue."

Mu Linlang said with lingering fear, "This time, there shouldn't be any more trouble!"

When the person was brought in, what came into view was a completely unfamiliar face.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and Bai Zhu couldn't help it, so he walked up and pinched his face a few times, "This face-changing technique is really amazing, there's no problem at all after it's done."

Wen Shiyue coughed lightly, "I really am Wen Shiyue."

Wutong, who was standing by, limped and said, "I can testify that he is really the young master."

After the eagle threw them into the mountains that day, Wen Shiyue lay in bed for most of the day. When the effect of the Ma Fei San wore off, he woke up.

Although his face was wrapped tightly and was painful, fortunately his hands and feet were fine. He supported the unconscious Wutong and found a small cave on the mountain to settle down.

He survived for more than half a month by eating wild vegetables and hunting. When the white cloth on his face could be removed, he carried Wutong down the mountain to treat his wounds.

Although he was penniless, he was born into a wealthy family and could still get something out of his pocket. He pawned the jade pendant and bracelet he was carrying.

They found an inn to stay in. Wutong was seriously injured and delayed in the mountains. He simply treated his injuries while asking for news.

He said helplessly, "Because I know that Gu Hanzhou has changed my face and is planning to replace my identity, so I don't dare to come to his house rashly."

He had been waiting for the right opportunity, and even planned to wait until Wutong got better so that he could return to the Wen family first.

Although his face has changed, his memory is still there. Grandpa and his family will definitely recognize him. It is safer to think of a way to deal with Gu Hanzhou when the time comes.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave, they saw a missing person notice posted.

"I guess either Gu Hanzhou was exposed or he didn't come to the palace, so I decided to show up."

As expected, he is a smart and meticulous person. Jiang Xue Ning nodded and said, "He did pretend to be you and came to your house, but he is now locked up in prison."

Gu Tangli hooked her finger at him and said, "We have worked together for many years. I am the person who knows you best here, so I want to confirm some details in person."

Only the real Gu Shiyue would know many details of what was said and done. Once bitten, one becomes afraid of the rope for ten years. She needed to confirm it herself.

"can."

The two of them went into a room alone, while the others waited in the study.

About an hour later, the two came out.

Gu Tangli said with a dry mouth, "I have already interrogated him in all aspects. This time it is really Wen Shiyue."

Wen Shiyue followed her out, his face a little pale, and said with a smile, "You have a really good memory. I was afraid that if I answered wrong, you would draw your sword against me the next moment."

"Well, you got them all right. Your memory is not bad either."

The atmosphere instantly became relaxed. Mu Linlang looked at his unfamiliar face and said with a headache, "It will be really troublesome to explain this face when I go back, but it's good enough that he's alive."

Wen Shiyue himself was truly a handsome man, and he smiled faintly and said, "I also feel that I am very lucky to have saved my life."

He asked Bai Zhu to check Wutong's leg again, and the result was that it needed to be broken and reconnected. Wutong wailed, "The damn Gu Hanzhou really should come and let him taste the pain of a broken leg."

"Well, he has already experienced the pain of having his knees dug out, and is now experiencing different tortures in turn." Jiang Xue Ning comforted him in a cold tone.

Wutong swallowed and said, "He deserves it."

Wen Shiyue is back, and everyone is happy. As for Gu Hanzhou, there is no point in keeping him around.

Jiang Xue Ning said softly, "It's time to send him off. How do you want him to die?"

There were many people present who had grudges against him. Gu Tangli said calmly, "It's an unreasonable request. I want to send him off myself."

Wen Shiyue certainly knew how much she had suffered over the years, and said gently, "It's as he should be. He owes you this."

Although Mu Linlang had a grudge against him for killing her brother, she nodded when she thought of the child that Gu Tangli had lost. "After sending him to hell, forget about it and live a good life."

"Ah."

Gu Tangli smiled. It was not easy for her to get out and find her family and regain her freedom. She naturally wanted to live well. Such a person was not worth her ruining her life.

Gu Hanzhou, who was tortured to death in the dark cell, dreamed of the past for the first time in a long time.

In the dream, he was still very young, Mu Linlang looked at him with eyes full of love, and Gu Tangli had just come to his side...

Everything is beautiful... but dreams are just dreams and we will wake up eventually.
