After listening to my voice, the villain became addicted to the plot

Xiao Shunzi spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth with disdain and sneered.

"Bah, ask me a hundred times again because I want to do justice for heaven and eliminate harm for the people."

"Go and tell that tyrant, what if I am in his hands today? If he catches me, there will be others. There are too many people in this world who want him dead."

"If you ask me, unless the tyrant comes now and dies suddenly in front of me, I may not be able to let him die clearly."

After Xiao Shunzi finished speaking, he burst into laughter uncontrollably.

"For God's sake, open your eyes!"

Seeing that Xiao Shunzi still looked like he didn't want to say anything, the official gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

"Unrepentant!"

As he spoke, he put a red-hot iron on Xiao Shunzi's body to force him to speak out.

Before the soldering iron touched Xiao Shunzi, he was stopped by the palace maid who suddenly appeared.

The official was furious and stopped what he was doing.

"How dare you! How dare you stop Dali Temple from torturing prisoners."

Ning Ru knelt directly on the ground, "Sir, I know that I have made a big mistake, but please show mercy and let me have a few words with him. If not, I can let him reveal the person behind the scenes."

The official snorted disdainfully, "Can you make him say it with just a few words? This eunuch is famous for being tough-tongued. He has been here at Dali Temple for a whole day and a night and has not said anything."

"This slave is Xiao Shunzi's sister. Sir, please let me try it."

The official didn't believe that a little palace maid could extract Xiao Shunzi's words, so he waved his sleeves and became impatient.

This Xiao Shunzi did such a treasonous thing just to avenge his sister. Why did someone appear now and claim to be her sister?

I'm afraid it's not a sister, but the acquaintance in this palace.

"You can do that?"

"This eunuch is so cruel and bold that he dares to kill even the emperor. Why would he still care about your acquaintance?"

"Go, go, don't cause trouble here. Everyone is here. If I scare you, don't rely on me."

As he said this, he was about to call the people around him to drag Ning Ru away.

Ning Ru looked at her brother who was beaten to a terrible state in front of her, her heart was throbbing and she was unwilling to leave.

He stepped forward and touched Xiao Shunzi's face.

That Xiao Shunzi immediately dodged.

"What sister? My sister has been dead for a long time, killed by this tyrant."

"It's not an old acquaintance. I never remember that I have any old acquaintance. If you get involved with me, it will be a death penalty. Did the emperor ask you to come?"

"It is impossible for me to persuade him not to waste his efforts."

After Ning Ru stopped the soldering iron for him, Xiao Shunzi lowered his head and refused to raise his head to look at Ning Ru in front of him. His eyes were evasive, as if he was tabooing something.

"It is indeed me who asked him to come."

Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin slowly walked to Ning Ru.

The surrounding officials knelt together, and even Xiao Shunzi, who had always lowered his head, now looked up at Chu Chengye.

"I really asked her to convince you."

Chu Chengye did not deny his purpose, but he paused and looked at Ning Ru, whose tears were still wet.

"But since you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

"I brought your sister here, thinking that you two haven't seen each other for a long time and it would be nice for you two to catch up on old times."

"No, no, she is not my sister. My sister died long ago. I have never met her."

"Let her go, I don't know her."

Xiao Shunzi suddenly struggled and roared at Chu Chengye.

Ning Ru bowed to Chu Chengye first with tears in her eyes, "This slave has exceeded the rules."

After saying that, he turned around and slapped Xiao Shunzi hard.

"You haven't seen me for so many years. You have stiffened your wings. You dare to deny me."

"I brought you up. I was your sister before, and I am now. Even if you die in the future, you will still call me sister. How dare you deny it?!"

After Ning Ru shouted, Xiao Shunzi slammed his head against the pillar tied to him behind him as if in pain, and then weakly shouted "Sister".

Ning Ru then touched the mark of her hard slap with her trembling hand, "Xiao Shun, it's my sister who can't forgive you."

She went to the late emperor's mausoleum to work alone with the others in the palace. It was a place where once you entered, you couldn't get out. Even if you died, the news wouldn't spread.

She was afraid that Xiao Shun would worry about her and come here. Coming here for no reason would be a death penalty. Ning Ru was very cruel and asked someone to write a letter to Xiao Shunzi, telling Xiao Shunzi that she was dead and not to let him go looking for her. He is a thought, who knows that Xiao Shunzi will avenge himself.

She was sent to the palace for her livelihood. Even if the emperor really killed her, she would not be able to say a word of injustice.

Xiao Shunzi couldn't help but shake his head, "It's my own fault, it has nothing to do with my sister."

After saying that, Xiao Shunzi looked up at Chu Chengye, "Your Majesty, all this was done by me and has nothing to do with my sister."

Chu Chengye nodded clearly, "Of course I will not anger your sister because of you. You also know that I just want to know from your mouth who gave you the poison, who colluded with the people in Northern Xinjiang, and who was behind the scenes. You want my life."

Xiao Shunzi suddenly paused, and after a long time he shook his head, "I, I don't know, this matter was planned by me alone and has nothing to do with anyone else."

Of course this cannot be true.

Ning Ru also saw that Xiao Shunzi was lying. She sighed and begged Chu Chengye to let the siblings talk alone.

Chu Chengye agreed and went out with Cheng Jin and the officials.

Cheng Jin tugged on Chu Chengye's sleeve on the way, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that even Ning Ru won't be able to tell you anything?"

Chu Chengye shook his head calmly, "Of course I'm not afraid. Not to mention that Xiao Shunzi hated me because of his sister and had the idea of ​​killing me. Now that his sister appeared in front of him alive, he didn't say anything. principle."

Cheng Jin nodded, "This is the same."

"The second thing is that even if Xiao Shunzi doesn't say anything." Chu Chengye stared at Cheng Jin for a long time, "I have other ways to find this person myself."

Cheng Jin realized that Chu Chengye was looking at him with a fake smile on his face.

"The Emperor is wise and powerful. When that person sees the Emperor's heroic appearance, he will naturally show his weakness."

[Just pretend. 】

[If you really had a way, you could drink the poison? Even if you are cautious, you will spit out the poison after realizing that it is wrong. 】

[But you seem to have underestimated the power of the poison. Just a little bit is enough to kill someone. 】

[Maybe the poison has penetrated deeply into the internal organs now, and he will die soon. 】

After Cheng Jin complimented Chu Chengye, he curled his lips invisibly.

Chu Chengye thought carefully about the past few days since he was poisoned. He seemed to have no physical problems. The imperial doctor who came to check for pulse also said that he was fine.

He didn't drink the poison at all, how could it penetrate deep into his internal organs.

Cheng Jin must be thinking too much and looking forward to his own death.
