Baili Chen immediately heard a hint of displeasure in Su Ci's teasing.

He walked quickly forward and took Su Ci into his arms.

He rubbed her head affectionately with his chin and said with a bit of grievance, "I didn't provoke them, but these scumbags took notice of me. I feel very unhappy too!"

"I belong to you alone. If others covet me, they are our common enemies. Let's drive them all away together, okay?"

Su Ci looked up and saw his extremely serious expression, and the depression in her heart dissipated a lot.

Then she nodded gently and nestled obediently in his arms.

He whispered, "Then let's go back to the Prince of Qin's Mansion now! Let's have a thorough trial of the old lady and her son at the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion!"

"Okay! It's all up to you!"

Seeing that Su Ci was not affected by Qi Lian'er's affairs, Baili Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he picked up Su Ci, used his Qinggong skills, and flew towards the Prince Qin's Palace.

When they arrived at the door of the underground prison in Prince Qin's Mansion, Su Ci was about to get out, but Baili Chen held her tightly and refused to let go.

He carried Su Ci into the cleanest cell in the underground prison before putting her down.

Then, he took Su Ci into his arms.

This place is right next to where the old lady of Yongchang Marquis' Mansion is imprisoned.

Baili Chen said: "Before I go to pick you up, I'll have the secret guards whip the mother and son first. This will make it easier to interrogate them."

Su Ci gave Baili Chen an admiring look.

At this time, the secret guard next door asked coldly: "Who captured the young master Shangguan Yu of Prince Heng's mansion thirty years ago?"

When the old lady of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion heard that the question was about this matter, she felt very guilty.

Her eyes rolled around for several times, but she still denied it, "The young master of Prince Heng's Mansion was lost thirty years ago, and we have been helping them find him. We are old friends with Prince Heng's Mansion, and our relationship is very deep. We will definitely not sit idly by."

"Over the years, our family has also made a lot of efforts to help Prince Heng's palace find people."

"If someone is missing from their family, it must be the work of spies from other countries. How can they blame us?"

Lin Youfang, who had just been whipped and was covered in blood, also echoed, "Yes! We have been helping Prince Heng's palace find someone over the years, but it has been a long time and there has been no news!"

The secret guard took a look at the cunning mother and son, and without saying anything, he ordered several other secret guards: "This is a complete quibble, the answer is wrong, Lord Lin, just cut off one finger!"

Two secret guards held Lin Youfang down, and one of them stepped forward and cut off the thumb of his right hand.

"ah......"

Immediately, Lin Youfang's screams of pain were heard, the sound was deafening.

The interrogating guard had a calm expression and said coldly: "Let me tell you the rules. If the old lady tells a lie, I will cut off one of your son's fingers. Your son only has ten fingers. I want to see how many fingers you want your son to have cut off?"

When the old lady of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion saw this scene, she was so frightened that she trembled and couldn't help crying.

He asked hysterically: "Who...who are you? Why...did you arrest us?"

"You... do you know who I am? I... I am the biological mother of the current queen, but... I have an imperial decree. My son... Lin Youfang is also an official appointed by the court. How dare you... you be so bold and reckless as to take human lives?"

"So what if you are the Queen's mother? Killing you is no different from killing a chicken. If we were afraid, we wouldn't have captured you."

"You should know that Emperor Mingguang did not have much affection for the Empress."

"Now, more than half of the Prince of Yan's mansion was burned down by a fire late at night, and the warehouse was also robbed. Today, his right leg was broken and he has been unconscious since he was sent to the palace."

"The support behind you is like a piece of paper, it will break if you poke it."

The old lady of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion and Lin Youfang both showed surprise on their faces.

Lin Youfang was tortured and his fingers were broken, and his face was almost distorted in pain.

Hearing the secret guard's words, he felt only disbelief and despair.

How could the situation of Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan become so dire?

His sister had been the queen for thirty years, and her position was extremely stable. Although Concubine Qin was extremely favored, she had not threatened his sister's position as the queen for so many years.

Now that Baili Heng has been crowned king, how could his situation become so difficult? This is simply unbelievable!

These people must be deceiving them.

Seeing their disbelieving expressions, the interrogating guard said coldly, "Why, you don't believe it? It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I will soon let you know who is the person you really should not mess with in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Well, now I will continue the interrogation."

"Who in the Yongchang Marquisate was responsible for Shangguan Yu's disappearance thirty years ago? Who was involved? What did you do to Shangguan Yu before he was thrown onto the Huangling Pass battlefield? Tell the truth!"

The old lady of Yongchang Marquis and Lin Youfang looked at each other, and Lin Youfang shook his head slightly.

The secret guard saw their actions and chuckled, "It doesn't matter, we will interrogate them slowly. We have plenty of time anyway."

"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. Your son has a lot of fingers. You can slowly cut them. If you don't have enough fingers, you still have toes. They are enough for the old lady to talk tough many times. You can slowly squander them."

"Since the old lady refuses to confess, I'll just cut off two of her fingers this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Youfang's two bloody fingers fell to the ground.

"Ah...ah..." Lin Youfang let out two loud roars.

This time, he really couldn't bear the pain and completely disregarded his image. He rolled desperately on the ground, his whole body twitching constantly.

Lin Youfang's face was extremely distorted, all the blue veins on his face were protruding, tears were falling uncontrollably, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Blood was dripping from his fingers, and the ground was covered with blood.

The old lady of Yongchang Marquis looked at her son's pain and cried bitterly, "Let go of my son... Let go of my son... How are you?"

"Wuwuwu...Mother...When mother sees you like this, it hurts more than if the flesh on my body were cut out! How can mother watch you being tortured?"

"Besides, if your hands are all disabled, how can you serve as an official in the future? My son..." "Please urge me to update, please vote, please reward, please praise, please everything."
