Prince Regent's Concubine

When it comes to torturing people, the ones who are best at interrogating people are not those who are interrogated by the Criminal Department of Dali Temple, but those old eunuchs in the palace.

These people entered the palace at a young age, and they can no longer be normal men in this life, leaving a psychological shadow long ago.Forget it, when they first entered the palace, they were often bullied and abused by other people. As they got older and had a little bit of power in their hands, their minds became darker, and they would start torturing newcomers just like the old eunuchs who tortured them back then. People in the palace, this is like a cycle, but in the palace, as long as you don't commit crimes to someone you can't mess with, no one will care about it.

This kind of existence is also beneficial to the royal family, that is, let them be interrogators, especially to torture those who are stubborn and refuse to speak, they have a lot of ways.

Xiao Jingheng asked Zhou Qi to call a few old eunuchs, and asked them to interrogate Ling He, as long as he didn't die, they could torture him however he wanted.

And he, Xiao Jingheng, didn't care about his uncle and nephew, he just wanted to know the secret from Ling He.

Ling He was weak and couldn't stand the torture. After being tossed by a few eunuchs, he fainted after a while, but it didn't mean that he would be fine after fainting, but that he would wake up with pain and start a new torture.

After a while Ling He couldn't take it anymore, and began to raise conditions with Xiao Jingheng, saying that as long as he asked the imperial physician to treat him and provided him with good food and drink, he would say it, otherwise he would not say it even if he died.

Xiao Jingheng agreed. After all, he can make Ling He live a comfortable life, and he can continue to be tortured. If he really dies, he is not afraid. Isn't there a queen mother? You can find out anything.

Xiao Chuyi told Ling He about the pros and cons, telling him to be more honest.

Ling He did think about it, but after being warned like this, he immediately rested a lot.

After three comfortable days, Xiao Jingheng interrogated Ling He again. This time, those old eunuchs were more ruthless than last time. They prepared a lot of silver needles for the man's position. I was so frightened that I trembled all over, and I did everything.

And he only told Xiao Jingheng about this matter. After hearing this, Xiao Jingheng's face was ashen, and at the same time, his heart was burning with raging anger. He gave Ling He a cold look, raised his hand and grabbed Ling He's neck, no matter how Ling He struggled. He didn't let him let go, and Ling He was strangled to death by him like this.

Xiao Jingheng left the interrogation dungeon with a green face, and led Zhou Qi back to the bedroom. Because Zhou Qi didn't know what the secret was, he didn't know what to say to comfort him, and remained silent all the time.

It took a while for Xiao Jingheng to wave to Zhou Qi, "Go down first and let me be quiet."

Zhou Qi withdrew, closed the door intimately, leaving Xiao Jingheng alone with frowning and gloomy expression, obviously he didn't expect such a secret.

……

The Prince Regent and his wife, who were listening to beauties singing far away in the south of the Yangtze River, received a letter from the capital. This letter was not sent by the palace's secret guards, but Xiao Jingheng, the emperor, asked his own secret guards to send them to them.

Ling Qingshi was eating fruit, listening to music, and occasionally having a drink. He felt comfortable and comfortable. He leaned on the back of the chair and saw Xiao Chuyi's expression was not good, so he asked, "What did you write, and you are urging us to go back?"

Xiao Chuyi said: "It's urging us to go back, but this time it's different."

Xiao Chuyi handed the letter to Ling Qingshi to read, Ling Qingshi took it and looked at the contents, and then his face sank like Xiao Chuyi's.

Xiao Jingheng said in the letter that he had asked the secret from Ling He. This secret was related to his life experience. Not only him, but also Zhier and the Queen Mother were all involved. Xiao Jingheng asked Xiao Chuyi to go back and help him investigate this matter , and threatened them with the lives of the Lin family and the Regent's House.

Threatening people with family members again, Ling Qingshi's temper also came up, "If he dares to touch our people, I will kill him directly." Ling Qingshi said with gritted teeth, but there is no lack of sincerity in it.

But Xiao Chuyi knew that they had to go back this time, maybe this secret was really big and might affect the succession of the throne.

The mind of listening to Qu'er was gone, and the two left Yanyulou and went back to the courtyard where they lived.

Ling Qingshi read the letter again, "The secret looks like that. At most, Zhier is actually the empress dowager's own son, and Xiao Jingheng was born to the former empress. Because of some accident, the two changed identities. Years of wanting to rebel is actually for the sake of children."

"What's worse is that neither of them was born to the queen mother, and one of them was brought up by her. She has no blood relationship with Xiao Jingheng. At the beginning, she strongly opposed the emperor's killing of Ling's family because Ling He held this secret, and the queen mother didn't want to identify her. exposed, so protect them."

Ling Qingshi felt that this story was not new. To be honest, even if Xiao Jingheng was not born to the empress dowager, he was still the son of the former emperor. As long as he was the prince, no matter who gave birth to him, he would sit on the throne now. Then get him down.

As for the queen mother herself, no matter what the situation is, she has the kindness to nurture Xiao Jingheng after all, so the position of the queen mother can still be secured and continue to be her queen mother, and there will be no major changes.

Xiao Jingheng even threatened them with his family, Ling Qingshi felt that even if he went back, he planned to bear it.

"Maybe it's more than that simple," Xiao Chuyi said after Ling Qingshi finished his guess.

"Then it can't be that Xiao Jingheng is not of royal blood, but only a child?" Ling Qingshi thought that Xiao Jingheng shouldn't be so stupid. If so, then this matter should be kept a secret and no one should know.

After all, as long as he is the seed of the former emperor, he can continue to be the emperor, and if he is not, he will end up as the emperor.

Knowing too little now, Xiao Chuyi is also hard to judge, "Let's talk about it when we go back, we will know when we go back."

It's only been a little over a month since it was full, and I haven't played many places. After returning this time, I also know when I can leave the capital and go farther next time. Ling Qingshi is not happy.

But there was nothing he could do, he couldn't leave the servants of the Prince Regent's Mansion and the Lin family alone.

But before they set off, two guests ushered in the yard, they were old acquaintances.

Zhier and his guard.

Because of Xiao Jingheng's comparison, Ling Qingshi's affection for Zhi'er has increased a lot, and he took the initiative to ask, "Did you come to see us specifically or just passing by?"

Zhi'er told the truth, "I came here specifically to look for the emperor's uncle and emperor's aunt. If the emperor's uncle wants to return to Beijing, can he bring Zhi'er with him?"

Ling Qingshi looked at him in surprise, "What news did you get?"

Zhi'er smiled at Ling Qingshi, "Aunt Huang is so smart, she can guess all of this."

Ling Qingshi thought to himself, it's not that he's smart, but that it's too coincidental for you to come here, so he has to think about it.

Zhi'er said: "Aunt Huang, Zhi'er may have a new identity."
