escape to the end

The box door slowly closed behind him, blocking out the sunlight at the same time.Lin Chi was led by Liu Yuan straight into the dark room inside the box, while Liu Liu, who was still unconscious, was left in the box by Liu Yuan.

"Master Liu, Ms. Liu may need someone to watch over her place. I'm sorry." On the way, she gave Liu Liu another injection of ecstasy, making sure that Liu Liu would not wake up in a short time, but she still found an excuse He pushed Liu Yuan out and closed the door of the secret room.

The few ministers who were already in high positions were handcuffed to the wall by special torture tools at this moment. When they saw Lin Chi coming in, they showed somewhat surprised expressions on their faces, and at the same time, there was a trace of joy.

"Your Highness!"

"His Royal Highness!"

A few urgent greetings came, Lin Chi hooked his lips, and quickly walked to them: "Uncles, don't come here without any problems, it's hard for you to remember me."

This dark room may have been built as a torture room. There are not only precise shackles, but also various instruments of torture that can cause great pain to the human body. Even the light in this room is deliberately dimmed. The yellow light can leave a penetrating feeling in people's hearts to a certain extent.

When she walked over, she stepped on a delicately shaped torture knife. The handle of the knife scraped across the ground, making a sound like scraping bones, which seemed strange and cold.

"Your Highness, are you the one who caught us? Your Highness, what crime did we commit, that you want to treat us like this?" The trace of luck in his heart was shattered, and he realized that Lin Chi didn't come to rescue them. Lieutenant General Yan Fang, who was handcuffed in the middle, showed a shocked expression on his face, and couldn't believe that Lin Chi did it.

He was kidnapped when he went out this morning. He thought he was seeking money or revenge, but after he was taken to this execution room, he found that there were already several colleagues here, who were also the queen's disciples. Li often communicates with each other, and the relationship on the surface is decent. At this time, they were arrested together, it seems that it is not a personal enmity.

Who would have the guts to kidnap several senior officials at once?In particular, they still have such a relationship. Although it is all secret, it is difficult for outsiders to know their relationship with the queen, but is it really such a coincidence?

"Uncle Yan, don't be angry. I just want to ask you a question. As long as you answer it, I will let you go. Although there are many instruments of torture here, I don't want to use any of them on you."

Lin Chi said softly, her face was almost behind the light, and it looked dim in the dim light. Standing in front of these people, she looked a bit pitiful with her tall and thin appearance.

The uncles in front of her are just a few of her mother's subordinates, and they are also a few people she is familiar with. When she was a child, these people were under her mother's subordinates and secretly worked for her mother. In the past, those people who she thought had disappeared in the coup d'état a few years ago were still alive, not only alive, but also so well.

But her mother was dead.

Lin Chi looked at the expressions of shock or suspicion on their faces, and his eyes became colder, as if filled with deep-seated hatred.

"Your Highness, if you have something to tell your servants, I will definitely take care of it for you immediately. Why do you need to use this method?"

Zheng Ye, who had been silent on the side, said.

Lin Chi looked up and saw his eagle-like eyes staring at her closely, as if staring at a stranger.Lin Chi laughed lightly, Zheng Ye felt unfamiliar with her appearance.

For so many years, she has been away from the empire for so many years, and she has no longer been the same as she used to be. Time seems to have washed her body, making her lose the innocence of the past and become sharper.This sharpness can cut herself and the enemy, which is very useful.

"I want to see you, but there are people who won't let me see you. Uncle Yan, Uncle Zheng, Uncle Li, when I was young, my mother once told me a story, saying that Emperor Ai of the previous dynasty was stupid and was finally defeated by my ancestors of the Lin family. Lost the capital and lost the country. When Emperor Ai died, his subjects fled and surrendered. There was only one general named Jiang Yi. He cried three times beside the body of Emperor Ai and ended it with the last bullet in his gun. My biological mother. Uncles, what do you think of General Jiang Yi?"

Lin Chi walked back and forth a few steps in front of them, then spoke without giving them a chance to speak.

"When I heard this story for the first time, I couldn't understand why the general was so stupid, but my mother told me that when a country collapses, some people choose to die for their country, and some people choose to steal their lives. There is no law in the world. It is stipulated that ministers must die for the country, so although the general's actions are admired by the world, the other ministers who cherish their lives are not at fault. However, my mother also said this sentence: Although people cannot be required People are all Jiang Yi, but they can't imitate those ministers who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country. Literati have integrity, generals have bones, and the master is dead, so throwing himself into the arms of the enemy is too cold?" Lin Chi said lightly. After finishing, his eyes swept left and right on them, and he was satisfied to see that their expressions changed slightly.

"I don't understand what your Highness means." It was still Zheng Ye who made the interface. Among these people, he was also the most cunning.

Lin Chi's tone became very cold: "Uncle Zheng doesn't understand, or is he unwilling to understand? Tell me how my mother usually treats you!"

"The kindness of the former empress to us is as great as a mountain, and we dare not forget it for a moment." Yan Fang is a typical general, with a very impatient temper. Hearing that Lin Chi doubted their loyalty, he couldn't hold back immediately, and raised his voice loudly. shouted.

Lin Chi trembled slightly, looking very sad, she looked at these few people whom she called uncle just now with a look of disappointment in her eyes: "Then why is my mother's mother's bones not cold, you But he has no intention of avenging her at all, and he is even so loyal to the enemy who killed her! The uncles have good means, these years, the officials are getting bigger and bigger!"

Yan Fang wanted to say something, but Zheng Ye keenly grasped something, his face really showed a look of surprise, he couldn't believe it: "Your Highness, the Marshal didn't kill the Queen's enemy, the Queen's mother committed suicide!"

"My mother...wasn't she killed by Zhou Jin? After Zhou Jin killed my father." Lin Chi really trembled this time.

Wasn't the queen mother killed by Zhou Jin?At that time, Zhou Jin was red-eyed, didn't he go all the way into the deep palace and kill all the royal family?Why did Zheng Ye say that?

She remembered the bloody day when she, her father and several brothers and sisters were preparing to go to the palace to escape the summer heat, but Zhou Jin broke in in the mecha and fiercely shot the father's body with a spear. On the heart, warm blood splashed on Zhou Jin's mecha, splashed on Lin Chi's face who was very close, her eyes were dazzling red, and she immediately passed out.

When she woke up again, she heard the news that the Lin royal family had been slaughtered. Everyone, including her father and mother, were already dead. How could it not be Zhou Jin who killed them?

Lin Chi felt cold in his heart, could it be that she was wrong in the first place?The queen mother committed suicide, did she blame Zhou Jin?But the emperor was killed by Zhou Jin, she saw it with her own eyes!

"That's right, Your Highness, how could we betray the Empress! What you said just now was too cruel. I, Yan Fang, have no other skills except to betray my master. Your Highness, although we followed the Marshal to launch the palace change, But we have no intention of betraying you, we are also acting according to the Queen Mother's order, how can we be like those ministers who are collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country?" Yan Fang yelled loudly, his Hong Zhong-like voice almost pierced people's eardrums.

"You also participated in the forced palace? Is it my mother's order?" Lin Chi looked at the righteous Yan Fang, and was shocked again.

"Although we were involved in that incident back then, no one would make it public, because this incident itself has become an unsolved case. Afterwards, the reason why those of us are promoted step by step is because the Marshal rewarded us in her way, Your Highness, We have never betrayed, we have always been loyal to the queen, and after the death of the empress, we also obeyed the order of the empress to serve the marshal. Your Highness, don't you know about this?" Zheng Ye realized that he had said something wrong, Only then did I realize that those things were done without telling His Highness back then, but Yan Fang's reckless man has already revealed everything, what else can he do?

While confirming this point with His Highness, Zheng Ye wondered why the marshal and empress kept His Highness on such an important matter.

Because of the lack of rank, they didn't know that Lin Chi even escaped from Yaori because of this incident. Although they accidentally pierced the truth at this time, they didn't think it was very serious.

"When you forced the palace to kill my father, was it my mother's order?" Lin Chi took two steps back, and her eyes darkened. She thought about countless possibilities, but she never thought that it was her mother who wanted her father to die. , I didn't expect that Zhou Jin didn't kill her mother.

It's no wonder that when she woke up from a coma, she was already imprisoned in the deep palace. At the same time, the news that most of the royal family died and injured reached her ears. She naturally thought that Zhou Jin was red-eyed. The queen mother was killed, and no one told her carefully about the joints inside.

"For that day, the empress has been planning for a long time. Your Highness, the empress has long wanted to turn against the late emperor. We all know it. Don't you know?" They were trained for that purpose. , who is not clear about it?

But this direct beneficiary, their real young master, has been kept in the dark, and they don't understand what the empress is thinking.

Lin Chi was even more confused when he heard their words.

But...Since Zhou Jin didn't kill him, why did Zhou Jin take all the responsibility when she abused Zhou Jin and questioned Zhou Jin later?Why didn't she tell her that she didn't kill her mother, and why didn't she tell her that forcing the palace was her mother's order?

"You didn't lie to me? The forced palace...was really planned by my mother? Zhou Jin, is Zhou Jin following my mother's order?" Lin Chi closed his eyes and confirmed again and again.

"That's true, there is no falsehood!"

Lin Chi retreated completely to the wall, pressed against the cold wall, and laughed bitterly.

Smiling and laughing, she shed tears again, and the tears dripped drop by drop on the smooth floor of the torture room. She didn't know whether it tasted sweet or salty.

Or maybe both.
