The dungeon of Prince Rong's mansion.

The stench of decay and mildew filled the dungeon passage.

The brightness that the thin firelight on the stone wall can provide is very small, almost as small as a bean.

Qin Yuechuan was dressed in a sharp black shirt, with his eyes covered by a three-finger-wide dark blue cloth belt, and his black hair was half-disheveled and half-tied, slightly loose.

When the faint candlelight fell on his face, it still could not add a single bit of warmth to his sharp features, which were like carved stone. Instead, it accentuated the gloomy and cold aura emanating from his entire body to the extreme.

Standing in the deepest prison torture room.

On the solid wooden rack in front of him, a man with a dirty face and blood all over his body looked up at him with difficulty breathing.

It’s Qin Jizhao.

He had been tortured to the point of having his eyes blurred with blood and he could not see clearly. The mere sight of a vague black shadow in front of him made him tremble all over.

Although he was terrified to the extreme, he still said:

"You kidnapped me here just because of a momentary suspicion, and tried to force me to confess even though I am innocent. Even if you are the Prince Regent, you should not be so arrogant!"

Qin Yuechuan's eyes were blindfolded, and Qin Jizhao could not see his expression. He could only see his high nose, thin lips, and the smooth lines of his jaw.

Qin Yuechuan said calmly:

"You should spit out what you need to spit out. I will probably give you a quick death."

Qin Jizhao said: "I said, I don't know what you call the 'soul transfer' technique."

"What Qin Lie did has nothing to do with me. Could it be that you can't find evidence and want to use me as the scapegoat?"

The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he kept shouting and cursing until he became so emotional that he couldn't help but move his limbs that were nailed to the rack. The piercing pain spread to his limbs and bones, and rushed straight to the top of his head, and his cursing was cut off in his throat.

Qin Yuechuan remained calm and clapped his hands.

There were several soldiers behind them, who respectfully carried a stretcher covered with white cloth into the prison and walked in front of the two men.

Qin Yuechuan said: "You should recognize this person."

The soldier holding the tray understood and lifted the cloth, revealing the person who was covered.

"Bring it closer so he can see it clearly."

The man tried to identify the enemy for a long time, then was shocked: "You - you - he fought for your Northern Frontier Army for many years! He was your deputy general, and you were so cruel as to kill him!"

"Qin Yuechuan, you are simply a cold-blooded beast!"

Qin Yuechuan's voice was neither sad nor angry:

"The heroic spirit that fought with me has long since perished. You are vile and unworthy of stealing and inheriting his body."

There is no need to say more, the irony is obvious.

"Seeing that the situation in Nanyuan is hopeless and there is nothing to be exploited, you instigate Xishu and Beixuan to confront each other. Are you going to sit back and reap the benefits like Qin Liexing did at that time?"

The man on the rack had a red face and roared with his hair pointed and his eyes wide open: "I don't understand what you are talking about! What is Xishu? What is the profit of the fisherman?"

"The Prince Regent abuses private punishment and has no regard for the law! If he wants to try me, why not do it openly in court? Hiding me here is clearly because they can't find any evidence and are deliberately covering it up!"

Qin Jizhao was extremely frightened.

At that time, Qin Liexing heard that the candidate for the crown prince was locked in Kyoto. In order to be 100% safe, he actually planned to find someone to replace his core.

In order to save his life, Qin Jizhao had no choice but to surrender and work for him.

Since Qin Lingruo ascended the throne, Qin Liexing's party has been eradicated by Qin Yue and almost half of them have been wiped out!

Qin Jizhao was unwilling to accept this. Since Qin Lingruo was in this position, why couldn't he have it?

When Qin Jizhao was beside Qin Liexing, he witnessed his method of "transferring souls". After Qin Liexing's death, he continued to experiment on living people, and finally mastered some tricks and inherited this technique.

But he knew very well that what he should do now was to accumulate strength and protect himself. He stopped all plans, lay dormant in secret, and prepare to make plans again after the storm subsided.

But he never expected that Qin Yuechuan would still unravel the mystery and suspect him!

It was just a suspicion, without sufficient evidence, and Qin Jizhao thought that Qin Yuechuan could not do anything to him openly.

But he never thought that Qin Yuechuan had secretly kidnapped him here!

"The king's law? I am the king's law here."

"You think that because the Northern Frontier Army is no longer in my hands, it is out of my control?"

"Want to be the second Qin Liexing?"

Qin Yuechuan's voice suddenly turned cold:

"wishful thinking."

"Since you are unwilling to reveal the remaining followers who are related to you, I will eliminate them all, leaving no one alive."

Qin Jizhao shouted: "Qin Yuechuan, don't threaten me."

"Eliminate them all. If you implicate innocent people, you will be branded as a bloodthirsty and brutal murderer!"

Qin Yuechuan said calmly: "I am not afraid."

Qin Yuechuan would never allow such magic to bring disaster to Beixuan. He didn't care about bearing a bad reputation as long as he could ensure Beixuan's safety for a hundred years.

This technique is insidious and treacherous. Once involved, it is difficult to distinguish the inside from the outside. In order to eradicate it, it is better to kill the wrong ones than to let a single one go!

Qin Jizhao's upper and lower teeth were chattering violently, and his lips were vibrating uncontrollably.

Suddenly, he laughed out loud, as if wishing to die. His laughter was twitching strangely:

"You are not afraid of being criticized."

"It's a pity for your princess to suffer this injustice innocently. She is lying there, being cursed for nothing and being in the same company as a murderer!"

"I don't know how you will feel when you wake up and face this. I'm afraid you will be terrified even if you sleep on the same bed with me!"

Thinking of Xu Xinyue, Qin Yuechuan's eyes, which were originally cold and silent, suddenly became violent as if a cold wind passed by.

Qin Jizhao couldn't see the expression in his eyes through the cloth, and he was still talking recklessly: "I heard that your princess hasn't woken up yet, I'm afraid it's not--"

"I took the punishment from God for you?"

"Or, I don't want to wake up and face you day and night? You——Ugh!!!"

"Want to die?"

Qin Yuechuan pointed at the person in front of him, and the soldier understood his meaning. He took the black and heavy torture instrument and walked straight towards Qin Jizhao.

Fresh blood was dripping as fresh skin and flesh peeled off.

Soon, his left arm was covered in blood, and the cloth on his left sleeve was tangled with blood, flesh and mud, revealing the white bones inside.

Qin Yuechuan sniffed the strong smell of blood and said, "Clean up the skin and flesh."

Then he turned around indifferently, turning a deaf ear to the screams and howls of ghosts and wolves behind him.

"Qin Yuechuan! You are shameless! You have no evidence, how can you treat me like this!"

Even as I stepped out of the prison door, the shrill wailing still seemed to faintly fill my ears.

Qingyang was stationed outside and saw him coming out: "Your Majesty, I have already made arrangements. If there are any signs, no one will be spared."

Qin Yuechuan nodded and asked calmly: "What time is it now?"

Qingyang glanced at the sky: "It's the end of the Mao hour."

"Prepare water."

Qingyang wanted to say something but stopped himself. He hesitated and did not move for a while, considering whether to speak or not.

Qin Yuechuan seemed to realize something: "What else?"

Qingyang lowered his voice unconsciously: "Master Xu is here again... or he wants to take the princess away..."

"Master Xu wants to take the princess away from Kyoto..."

Qin Yuechuan was silent for a moment, and only said two cold words: "Not allowed."

"I know about this, and I persuaded him to leave with some persuasion."

Qin Yuechuan did not stop and went straight back to the main courtyard.

Qingyang stopped where he was and looked at Qin Yuechuan's back, feeling unhappy:

The princess has been sleeping for more than two months.

The prince has been suffering from eye disease for nearly two months.

To the outside world, people only knew that he had been infected with drugs and the sequelae had recurred. Perhaps only the people in Prince Rong's mansion knew the real reason.
