MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 69

"Are you going to beat me up?"

The man had already walked up to Gu Yun with a soldering iron, and she naturally saw his intentions.

In this way, Gu Yun knew that he could not drag on any longer.

"We have given you so many days, but you have not cooperated." The man in Tsing Yi tugged at the corner of his mouth, and pressed the soldering iron in his hand to the wooden board next to Gu Yun with a swipe, and suddenly a burst of green smoke rose , accompanied by the sizzling sound, it made people fearful.

"Anyway, you won't be able to get out of this cell in the future, and we don't have to be so polite to you."

As he said that, the hot soldering iron in the man's hand slowly approached Gu Yun.

The soldering iron was scorching hot, and before it got close, the temperature radiating from it made Gu Yun frowned slightly.

She looked away and looked around.

The two people sitting beside the table were looking in this direction, their eyes sparkled with excitement, as if they were also expecting to torture her.

The anger was getting stronger, and when the soldering iron was about to press down on Gu Yun, she released her mental power and attacked the man in Tsing Yi who was holding the soldering iron first.

The man stopped moving, and he was dazed for a moment, and then he lost his self-awareness.

Seeing this, the two people next to him felt strange and were about to get up to check.

But when they stood up, those majestic spiritual forces had already invaded their minds.

Under Gu Yun's coercion, the two people who had lost their self-awareness sat back again, without moving any more, staring at the void with dull eyes.

In the dark and narrow prison, there was no sound of interrogation, only a few extremely quiet breathing sounds and the crackling sound of the burning firewood in the stove.

"Did you receive any orders today?" Gu Yun looked at the man in green standing in front of her coldly, and asked in a low voice.

She sensed something was wrong when they decided to torture her.

Although these people also interrogated her on time in the past, they probably took into account the identity of the seventh princess and never thought of using torture on her.

But today, as soon as these people came in, the way they looked at her changed. In addition, they were about to torture and interrogate them. Gu Yun had to guess whether someone from above had given them some orders.

Sure enough, the man in Tsing Yi who had been controlled slowly opened his mouth: "Yes."

Gu Yun's eyebrows became colder: "Say."

"...In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the higher-ups have sent a message that they don't care about your life or death, as long as they can get a signed confession letter from you..."

That's true.

"Who gave you the order?" Gu Yun exerted more mental power on him.

The man felt the pain, but he only twitched a few times, and under that powerful momentum, he slowly said a name.

Gu Yun frowned and thought, the one who gave him the order was his immediate superior, just a small official in the Ministry of Punishment.

From this point of view, this man in Tsing Yi was just a small shrimp, and he couldn't get in touch with the top person who wanted to harm her.

This is also to be expected.

Gu Yun was not disappointed, she spoke again and asked him more questions...

After finding out everything these people knew, Gu Yun endured the discomfort and used his mental power to erase all the memories they had experienced just now.

"Boss?!" The two men who were gradually waking up got up and walked over, but their heads seemed a little dizzy, and they almost couldn't stand still. "What happened just now? Why do I feel so painful all over?"

The man in Tsing Yi was also tired for a while, and he almost lost his grip on the soldering iron in his hand. He stabilized his mind, put the soldering iron back into the firewood, and sat down at the table, ready to take a break.

"How do I know what's going on?!" Now he just feels dizzy and doesn't know anything.

The two of them shrank back again after being yelled at by him, not daring to speak again.

The man in Tsing Yi paused for a while before raising his eyes to look at Gu Yun.

But seeing her pale face, disheveled hair, and looking very weak, he looked at the iron chains that bound her, and they were intact and entangled.

He looked away.

Just

It was just that dizziness, he almost thought it was the ghost of the helpless Seventh Son-in-law.

But thinking about it now, he probably thought too much.

Her hands and feet were tied, and she was hung for several days. She didn't eat or drink much. How could she have the strength to break free from the chains and attack the three of them!

"We're exhausted from being here with her these days, and we're tired enough." It took him a long time to calm down completely, and then he raised his hand to greet the slightly thinner man: "Go and buy some food, remember to buy some food again." Hold two jars of strong wine."

The thin man was a little moved when he heard the words, but he still remembered what they were going to do: "But...don't we try not to go out? If someone finds out, maybe the Seventh Princess can find her here."

The man in Tsing Yi frowned and waved his hand: "If you're told to go, go, where did all this nonsense come from. Anyway, it's been so many days, Princess Qi probably didn't take this matter to heart."

The few people no longer cared about having Gu Yun beside them, so they just talked carelessly.

Gu Yun looked at them with slightly dull eyes, raised his eyebrows, and lowered his eyes again.

These people's minds have been invaded by her, and she has reserved some mental power to control them. As long as the instructions are not too excessive, these people will not notice, and they will think that nothing happened.

Originally, she wanted to directly control the man in Tsing Yi to open the iron chain on her body, but after knowing that there might be hidden enemies in the Ministry of Punishment, she gave up that idea.

Stand still, in order to plan for future affairs.

She has been locked up here, and those who are against her will relax their vigilance and put all their minds on what they want to achieve.

In this way, the Seventh Princess outside may be able to find out more details...

It's just that she will spend more mental power to control these three people in the future.

This is also the reason why she didn't use her mental power at the beginning, because as long as she didn't get out of trouble, once she attacked these three people, she would use her mental power to strengthen the spiritual layer arranged in their minds every day.

Although it is simple, it is very troublesome and consumes her mind extremely.

But in order to avoid the pain of flesh and blood, and to inquire about some situations from their mouths, she could only do so.

…

It has been almost half a month since Gu Yun was taken away.

As the heat fades away, the wind in early autumn cools down quietly, and the leaves that are beginning to turn yellow rustle and crumble on the treetops.

Standing in the mottled light and shadow, Jiang Libai quietly listened to Mu pulp's reply.

"...Two days ago, during our secret inspection, our people noticed a suspicious person. When the wooden boat passed him, it seemed that there was some very faint fragrance on him, like the smell of the son-in-law, so the wooden boat I quietly followed him."

"After tracking the past, the wooden boat stayed around for another two days. After careful investigation, it was probably confirmed that it was the place where the son-in-law was being held..."

Hearing these words in Jiang Libai's ears, she immediately raised her eyes. She tightened her cuffs and asked eagerly, "Where is that place?"

"Inside a deserted mansion on West Street."

A dilapidated mansion on West Street?

How could it be there? !

It stands to reason that the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice took Gu Yun away, and she had to be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Even if she was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, she should be imprisoned in a secret prison.

How can people be locked up in a mansion on West Street at will?

How weird this thing looks!

But Jiang Libai couldn't figure it out, she just wanted to bring Gu Yun out quickly.

I don't know if Gu Yun has been tortured after these days of detention?

Mu Paddle naturally knew what Princess Seven was thinking at this time, and he hurriedly said: "Then there should be a basement under the mansion, and our people don't know if there will be other secret passages in and out, so don't startle the snake for the time being, or they will move away." If you leave the son-in-law, then the next investigation may be even more difficult..."

Naturally, he also felt that it was strange that the people from the Ministry of Punishments locked the son-in-law in that place, and he couldn't understand the reason, so he decided to investigate further, and bring the son-in-law out when he was 90% sure.

It's better to come.

Jiang Libai thought for a long time.

She really didn't dare to take the risk.

In the end, he rested and went to the mansion on West Street, threatening those people with the honor of a princess to hand over Gu Yun.

But this method was not feasible, and she had to try another method.

…

Before twilight, Jiang Libai brought Qin'er into the palace.

This time she didn't go to the Changchun Palace, and went straight to the Qianming Palace.

Her mother and concubine have already helped her with pleading, so it's better not to bother her anymore.

"Hey! Princess, why are you here?!" Eunuch Sun had just walked outside the hall when he saw Jiang Libai stepping up the steps with her skirt in her hands.

He looked back, only Qin'er followed, and no one from Changchun Palace, so he knew that the seventh princess came by herself.

"The sun is about to set, why does the princess enter the palace at this time? But what's the matter?"

No matter how anxious Jiang Libai was, he was very polite to Eunuch Sun, "Is the father in there?"

Usually at this time, her father would be marking papers in Qianming Hall, and would not rest until dinner time.

The vermilion lacquered door was closed tightly, but the surroundings were quiet, Jiang Libai could still hear some sounds coming from the palace.

Eunuch Sun naturally heard it too, thinking that the emperor already knew that the seventh princess was looking for him.

However, the emperor did not summon the seventh princess, so the meaning is obvious.

He doesn't want to see Princess Seven now.

Eunuch Sun didn't want to go against the emperor's will, and he didn't want to embarrass the seventh princess too much.

"Princess, the emperor is a little tired of writing papers today, and was just about to rest in the hall, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see you right now."

"Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Eunuch Sun tried his best to speak tactfully, but Jiang Libai still felt sad and helpless.

She guessed that her father didn't want to hear her talk about Gu Yun, but she didn't expect that her father didn't even see her.

Even if she can understand the difficulties and concerns of her father, how can this not make her uncomfortable and chilling...

The sun has set, and the light twilight is slowly approaching.

The sunset glow in the sky stretched out, making the surrounding spacious palace look extremely quiet and peaceful.

Looking around, Jiang Libai felt that everything was so familiar, but suddenly felt that everything was strange.

"Princess, it's getting late, why don't you go back first?" Qin'er stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice: "The little princess is still in the mansion, I'm afraid he's about to wake up."

Hearing this, Jiang Libai closed her eyes.

Without seeing her father, Xing Xing is about to wake up, she can't continue to waste here.

"Let's go." She walked to the steps, and the early autumn wind swept gently, bringing the warmth of the end of summer, but she couldn't feel any warmth, only felt the chill, powerless.

She couldn't help it, she turned her head and glanced at the closed vermilion lacquer door, and after twitching the corners of her mouth, she slowly walked down the stairs.

When she was in a trance, hurried footsteps came from not far away, and then a figure rushed past her, and she subconsciously stopped.

The man looked in a hurry, and he didn't know why he came here.

Such a thought flashed in his mind, Jiang Libai looked indifferent, and continued to walk out.

"...What did you say? The son-in-law was poisoned? Now his life is in danger?!"

However, Eunuch Sun's shrill voice came from behind, he was probably too shocked, so he didn't lower his voice.

Jiang Libai, who heard this clearly, paused.

Then he turned around in a swish, and trotted all the way back to Qianming Hall with his skirt in his hands.

"Who was poisoned?! Who is dying?!" She forced herself to be calm and asked word by word.

The imperial princess was full of momentum, and Eunuch Sun was taken aback by her.

Thinking of the news reported just now, he hastily lowered his head: "It's the son-in-law... She was poisoned in prison..."

All of a sudden, everything around seemed to be moving away from Jiang Libai, and there was only one sentence in her ear that kept repeating.

Gu Yun was poisoned and his life was in danger

…

Eunuch Sun hurriedly reported the news to the emperor, and after comforting the Seventh Princess, he hurriedly turned around and prepared to enter the palace.

However, just as he opened the door a crack, a figure swept past him like a gust of wind.

He immediately looked up at the anxious looking figure, sighed slightly, and closed the door again.

Now that the seventh princess has already entered, the news of the son-in-law's death can naturally reach the ears of the emperor.

What else would the father and daughter have to say next, he, an outsider, would not be able to inquire.

…

Bright candles were lit all around the Qianming Hall, and the light twilight shone through the windows pasted with bright paper, swaying and sprinkled on the smooth marble, reflecting Jiang Libai's self-possessed appearance.

Emperor Yu didn't raise his eyes when he heard the movement at the door, "What's the matter?"

He thought it was Eunuch Sun.

However, Jiang Libai bit her lower lip tightly, walked quickly down the steps without saying a word.

Emperor Yu frowned slightly, and then raised his eyes to look.

"Jianning?"

In his plain eyes, Jiang Libai stubbornly held back the tears in his eyes, lifted the hem of his skirt, and suddenly knelt down on the cold marble.

"Father, my son-in-law has been poisoned and is on the verge of death! Can you release her first?"

No matter how depressed the girl was, a little trembling could still be heard in her low voice.

This made Emperor Yu feel bad.

"Are you so reluctant to part with her?" Although he still didn't know what happened to Gu Yun's poisoning, he was a little annoyed seeing his beloved daughter pleading for her like this.

Royal princess, dignified and elegant.

How can she cry and cry for a man like this, and still lower her posture like this?

Jiang Libai saw the dissatisfaction in her father's eyes.

But now she can't control that much anymore.

"Yes, Erchen cares about her very much."

She no longer knew how much weight she had in her father's heart, let alone whether her begging could make her father soften his heart.

Now she just wants to bring Gu Yun out as soon as possible, and let Doctor Zhao detoxify her. If... If the poison cannot be cured...

Jiang Libai didn't dare to think about it any further.

She looked at the emperor sitting behind the desk and his face was still very calm.

She closed her eyes and knocked her head on the hard marble, "Father, my son's husband is about to die! Please let her out first... My son please..."

After a while, there were some blood stains on her forehead.

The bright blush bloomed, leaving traces on her snow-white skin, making her look very frightening.

Emperor Yu's heart trembled, and then he put down his ink pen, "Get up first."

Jiang Libai's eyes were already wet. Hearing this extremely plain voice, she hurriedly raised her head, and her blurry eyes fell on her father, "Father, are you going to release Gu Yun?!"

Emperor Yu couldn't bear his daughter being so humble.

He got up from the dragon chair and walked slowly to Jiang Libai.

Then he reached out his hand, trying to lift her up.

But Jiang Libai was taken aback when he saw this.

"What? Are you angry with me?" Emperor Yu sighed slightly.

Jiang Libai hesitated for a moment, but still put her hand in her father's palm.

Feeling the warmth from her father, she felt sore in her heart, and then slowly got up.

"From now on, you can no longer disregard your own body and decency for her sake, can you remember?" Emperor Yu raised his hand, wanting to touch his daughter's little head, but he was afraid that she was really giving birth to him. Out of breath, he stopped thinking again.

Jiang Libai didn't care what her father was saying, she just nodded hastily: "Yes, I have made a note."

"Father, let's release Gu Yun quickly for treatment! My son is very scared... very afraid of her..."

"Let her come out to detoxify first. I will order someone to investigate the arson matter carefully." Emperor Yu nodded helplessly, and the matter was settled like this.

…

straight

When he walked out of Qianming Palace, Jiang Libai still felt as if he was in a dream.

After these days of separation, Gu Yun can finally be released, and I don't know what kind of poison she was poisoned...whether she can save her life...

Thinking of this, Jiang Libai walked faster and came all the way to the gate of the palace. After getting into the carriage, he ordered the wooden paddle to return home quickly.

…

Outside the seventh princess's mansion, a relatively simple carriage has already parked.

Jiang Libai looked at it casually, but her heart beat faster.

When she came to the side room, she ignored the people guarding the door, pushed the door open and walked in.

Finally, she met the person she had been thinking about day and night...

The man's eyes were tightly closed, his face was pale, and there was still a smear of blood at the corner of his mouth, which made her feel distressed no matter how she looked at it.
