OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 716: Are You Pretending to Be the Bad Guy?
Marquis Wan brought the lost children back.
This incident quickly became a topic of much discussion both inside and outside the capital, as well as among the court and the public.
In the eyes of the people, Feng Fuce not only kills and oppresses but can even save lives!
The families who found their lost children are very grateful to Feng Fuce.
It is said that in front of Feng Fuce’s home in the capital, fresh vegetables, fruits, and eggs were piled up for several days.
The simple-minded common folk chose to repay him in their own way.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today, Bai Zhi’er wore small soft white boots, with silver bells hanging on them, jingling.
She peered into the Xiuluo Guard. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Among her dark hair, bright pearls shimmered with gentle elegance.
On her round little face, white and adorable, there was a curious expression.
"Princess," Lei Hu passed by, saw her, and greeted her with hand gestures.
Bai Zhi’er smiled sweetly, waving off the formalities.
"What’s Brother Fu Ce doing?"
"The Marquis is interrogating someone. If Your Highness wants to summon him, I shall go and inform him immediately."
Bai Zhi’er shook her head: "I know where he’s conducting the interrogation, you go ahead and carry on, I can find him myself."
With that, the little one walked briskly down the long path into the depths of the dungeon.
Lei Hu’s expression changed, and he quickly chased after her.
"Princess, please wait here, let me go..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Zhi’er had already turned the corner and saw the interrogation room at the end of the corridor.
Inside, the walls were stained with blood, and the prisoner was hung on a rack, on the verge of dying.
Feng Fuce, however, wore a robe that starkly contrasted with the torture chamber, pure and elegant as snow.
He was seated not far from the prisoner.
"I don’t want to waste time with you. Who instructed you to spread rumors in the capital about the Emperor usurping the throne? Speak."
Feng Fuce spoke coldly.
The prisoner, on the brink of death, still sneered mockingly.
"Marquis Wan, if you have the skill, kill me, but don’t expect a single true word from me!"
Feng Fuce’s gaze was cold, with a hint of disdain.
He looked over at Lu Wang: "Subject him to severe punishment."
Lu Wang’s expression was indifferent: "Yes."
He took out the red-hot branding iron from the furnace beside him.
Bai Zhi’er gasped.
She covered her mouth with her little hand, her black eyes wide open.
Even A ruo, behind her, was dumbstruck.
Seeing the situation was not good, Lei Hu coughed loudly and announced, "Princess has arrived!"
In that instant, Feng Fuce, who had been sitting elegantly like a refined nobleman, suddenly stood up.
The stool he had been sitting on also toppled over.
Feng Fuce knitted his brows, quickly walked towards Bai Zhi’er.
"Why are you here?"
He looked at the little one, casually reached out, naturally taking hold of her wrist, and led her to the backyard.
Lu Wang followed suit, leading A ruo to another side.
In the backyard.
Feng Fuce sat with Bai Zhi’er on the steps where they had previously eaten oranges.
Looking at her round, tender little face, it still carried a hint of solemnity.
Feng Fuce slightly furrowed his brows: "Scared?"
Bai Zhi’er shook her little head: "I’m not afraid, I was just thinking, is the reason everyone says Brother Ce is a bad person because Brother Ce has always been acting as the bad person for Dad’s sake?"
Feng Fuce was taken aback.
Acting as a bad person?
From the little one’s words, he actually felt a hint of bias towards him.
