Great Tang princess

Chapter 315 The Gradually Crazy Lun Qinling
The next day, Li Zhi seemed to be in good spirits, and his complexion was a little rosier than before.

In the morning, they called the children over to chat for a while, and after lunch, they seemed to have a sudden whim: "Chen'er, let's call Lun Qinling over for a chat."

"Yes!" Li Yuechen immediately arranged for people to escort Lun Qinling to the barracks.

Just after the end of time, Lunqin Mausoleum was taken to the palace.

Although he has been hostile to Datang for a long time, this is the first time that Lun Qinling has seen Datang's palace.

I have to say that it is very grand, especially when you walk to Zetian Gate, this kind of tall building can create a sense of oppression on people invisibly, so as to highlight the supremacy of imperial power.

It's just that Lun Qinling didn't care about these things, but the soldiers wearing black uniforms who lined up and passed by from time to time.

Today, the guards of the imperial city are still guarded by prison guards, and their style of painting is more in line with this era.

But Qianniuwei, who was the bodyguard of the royal family, had completely changed. Seeing them lined up in a line but walking in uniform, Lun Qinling couldn't help sighing, the same soldier who was responsible for supporting him beside him.

All the way to the Hall of Renshou, after the notification, two soldiers walked in with them.

He saw that the emperor of Tang Dynasty was lying on a strange chair. It was already May, but his body was still covered with a blanket.

The queen was sitting not far from him, holding a teacup and looking at him.

His two sons and three daughters were standing or sitting by the side, no matter how they looked like they were having a family gathering, why did they call him over at this time?
But now that you have come, no matter how big the question is, you have to keep it in your heart, so you immediately saluted respectfully: "I have seen the emperor, the empress, all your highnesses!"

"Excuse me, give me a seat!" Li Zhi waved his hand, "I'm not in court today, just be more casual."

At this time, Tubo was the same as Datang. Compared with the Hu bed, he still sat on his knees more often. When he saw the folding chair brought by Zhang Chengxin, he observed it curiously, and then sat on it.

After sitting down, he calculated the distance. At this time, he was only about ten feet away from Li Zhi who was opposite him.

He came here today and was not tied up, and his body can move.The emperor in front of him didn't seem to be in good health. If he rushed over from here, he could kill him even with bare hands.

But the problem is...

The Princess Taiping was sitting next to the emperor. With her around, this idea would be absolutely impossible to realize.

Li Zhi didn't know what was going on in his heart, he just smiled to himself: "You have been hostile to my Tang Dynasty for many years, now you come here, what do you have to say?"

"I have nothing to say." Lun Qinling put his posture very low.

"I believe you should understand why I didn't kill you." Li Zhi said.

There's nothing I don't understand about this, isn't it just for the various secrets of the Tubo royal family...

With some complaints in his heart, Lun Qinling nodded: "Of course I know, but after all, I am a Tubo Dalun. Although I have been arrested now, I can't easily tell the whole story about me..."

"Then you want to try the taste of torture?" Li Yuechen next to him suddenly asked, "I also have a lot of means in this regard."

Regarding this point, Lun Qinling has no doubts at all, he is now very clear about the princess's hooliganism.

But if he could be intimidated so easily, he wouldn't be Lun Qinling.

"Your Highness, don't you think that I am not committing suicide now, but I am afraid of death?" He asked back.

But Li Yuechen suddenly grinned: "Of course not. But you can imagine, if you are not tortured, but locked in a place with no windows and no sound, what will happen to you?"

"Not only will you not be beaten and scolded, but you will also be given three meals a day, but here you have no one to talk to, the candles will never go out, and you can't tell the difference between day and night..."

"How long do you think... you can last?"

Hearing Li Yuechen's words, Lun Qinling was a little strange, is this also called torture?
Immediately said: "If His Highness is like this, I'm afraid I will be disappointed, I can always die of old age inside!"

"Okay, then try!" Li Yuechen grinned, "Come on, go and lock him up, level one!"

Without saying a word, the two Qianniu Weier carried him outside.

Li Xian next to him looked puzzled: "Yuechen, is this method really feasible? Even if I am a brother, I am afraid I can live in it all the time, and it is still very comfortable."

The other brothers and sisters, even the parents were also puzzled.

It's just locked up, no one is allowed to talk to him, and three meals a day... Can this really be called torture?

Li Yuechen didn't bother to explain, it was difficult for people in this era to understand what claustrophobia was.

Let alone such a situation, Li Yuechen was confined at home for a whole month because of the epidemic.

That's almost crazy when you can distinguish between day and night, and have the Internet to relieve boredom, let alone this situation.

"I'll bet a thousand! Up to five days!" Li Yuechen turned his head and said, "Where's brother?"

"This..." Seeing his younger sister's confident expression, Li Xian fell into deep thought.

Ever since she was a child, this younger sister has never failed to do what she promised, so she should be absolutely sure of it.

"I bet you!" Wu Zetian said suddenly, "Since Chen'er is so sure, this method should be useful. Ten days."

Wu Zetian is actually a good gambler, he always finds someone to play Shuanglu when he is free, so he can be regarded as a gambler.

"Okay, is there anything else you want to bet on?" Li Yuechen turned his head and glanced at his father and two sisters.

……

Lun Qinling was taken to the first-level confinement room in the barracks and locked up.

This place is essentially a large cellar, five feet deep into the ground, which can completely isolate the sound and light source above.

There are only a few candles lit in the corner, and there is no other light source.

The soldiers in charge of the escort opened the gate and pushed Lun Qinling in.

Regardless of the soldiers who closed the door behind, he took a closer look. There were beds, toilets, and daily utensils such as water basins.

Outside the fence, there were two soldiers standing on the left and one on the right, presumably to prevent him from committing suicide or something.

He took a closer look inside with his hands behind his back. Although the light was a bit dim, it was generally quite comfortable.

A cellar of this depth can generally maintain a constant temperature. It is neither hot in summer nor cold in winter, and the body feels very good.

After slightly nodding his head, Lun Qinling lay on the bed, put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes, planning to rest for a while...

After an unknown amount of time, Lun Qinling in his sleep heard the sound of the fence being opened. He opened his eyes and saw that a soldier came over with a tray and put the food on the table next to him.

"What time is it?" Lun Qinling rubbed his eyes and asked.

The soldier didn't answer, put down his food and turned away without saying a word.

He didn't hear the answer, so Lun Qinling didn't ask any more questions, and sat down to eat on his own, not to mention, Qianniuwei's food has always been very good, with meat, vegetables and soup, which is better than when he was in Tubo. eat well.

After eating, he felt a little bored, he couldn't hear any sound here, and his quiet ears felt a little uncomfortable.

He turned around and lay down on the fence, and asked the soldier next to him, "What time is it now?"

The two soldiers didn't respond at all. If it wasn't for the occasional blink, he would even have thought they were two dummies.They just stood there at attention, like javelins.

"You two don't look very old, but you have a family? Do you have a baby?" Lun Qinling continued to ask.

The two of them still didn't respond, and they didn't even look at him.

Such a reaction made Lun Qinling feel a little annoyed, but he couldn't beat them even though there was a fence.

After walking around the spot twice, he continued to ask: "I said, are you still alive? If you are alive, just say a few words!"

There was still no response, and the two seemed unable to see him.

Lun Qinling, who was getting irritable, took two steps back, looked left and right, then suddenly picked up the wooden basin next to him and threw it towards the fence.

With a "bang", the tub hit the fence and made a loud noise.

However, the two soldiers remained motionless and did not respond.

Although the two soldiers were facing his direction, they were not looking at him to be precise, but looking at their "front".

Next, he tried various methods to attract the attention of the two soldiers, but no matter what he did, the two soldiers did not respond.

By the end, even he had started yelling, pointing at the two soldiers and using various insulting words, still getting no response.

Finally, the somewhat tired Lun Qinling sat on the bed and began to rest.

At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps, and he raised his head expectantly, wanting to see what happened.

I saw two soldiers coming out of the darkness, and when they came to the two soldiers guarding him, they saluted each other, and the two soldiers just turned around and left.

The two new soldiers took their place, stood still and continued to look at him.

During the changing of the guard, these soldiers did not communicate with each other.

In this case, the person loses the concept of time, he does not know how often they change guards, nor how much time has passed since he came in.

Only when he saw two people changed, he stood up and grabbed the fence again and tried to communicate with them.

However, the result was the same as before. The two soldiers were still like dummies. If he hadn't just seen them changing the guard with his own eyes, it would be hard for him to believe that these two soldiers were alive.

After the failed attempt to communicate, even though he was extremely irritable, but after all he was old, and the tired Lun Qinling lay on the bed and wanted to take a rest.

When he woke up, he didn't know how long he had slept, but the wooden basin he threw out before had been replaced with a new one, and another meal was placed on the table.

When these soldiers delivered the food, they didn't care whether he was awake or asleep, anyway, they left after delivering the food.

And the time Li Yuechen arranged for them to deliver meals was not three meals a day, but every four hours. It was absolutely impossible for him to judge the time by the interval between meals.

In short, after he woke up, the soldiers outside had changed again, but he didn't know which wave it was. The only thing that remained the same was that they were still standing there looking at him like dummies.

Looking at the food on the table, although Lun Qinling felt a little hungry, he had no appetite at all.

He didn't know if it was lunch or dinner, he just wanted to know how long he had been in and what time it was...

However, no matter whether he asked in a soft voice or yelled and insulted them, these soldiers would not give him any response.

Lun Qinling was like this, irritable when he woke up, and fell asleep when he was tired. In this cycle, the whole person became more and more crazy.

……

Outside the barracks, Li Yuechen jumped off his horse and walked into the barracks.

As the breeze blew, the martyrs' nameplates hanging on the sidewalk trees collided with each other, making a slight sound.

She looked up unconsciously, and slowly entered the barracks.

Upon receiving the news that the princess was coming, Geng Yunqiang immediately ran out: "Your Highness."

"Well, how is Lun Qinling?" Li Yuechen asked while stretching his waist, "It's been three days, and you haven't decided to explain it yet?"

"Not yet, but I'm about to go crazy." Geng Yunqiang replied, "Now I'm very irritable. I wake up and yell when I'm full, and my voice is already hoarse."

Li Yuechen nodded: "It should be soon, just wait."

That night, Li Yuechen didn't leave and slept in the barracks.

……

The next morning, in the cellar, Lun Qinling woke up from sleep again, looked at the dim candlelight around him, and sighed forcefully.

Looking at the cold food on the table, he didn't touch it, but got up and went to the fence, and said to the soldiers outside: "Call the princess over here, I'll tell you! Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you !"

The two soldiers did not respond, still looking at him.

Lun Qinling raised his leg and kicked on the fence, making a sound: "Can't you hear me? I told the princess to come over! I can ask you anything!"

The two soldiers looked at each other, and one of them turned away without any response.

After a while, Li Yuechen, who received the news outside, came to the cellar.

Lun Qinling's hair was disheveled, his face was vicissitudes, and his body was disheveled. He looked like a tramp.

She smiled slightly: "Four and a half days, you are already considered good, at least for now, you are the first one to persist for such a long time."

Hearing Li Yuechen's words, Lun Qinling was a little dazed.

Four and a half days?I actually only came in for four and a half days?

During this period of time, he almost lived like a year. He felt that more than ten days should have passed outside, but he didn't expect it to be only four and a half days...

"You... are simply a..."

"Hey, to be honest. I didn't beat or torture you, and I didn't starve you, did I? It's very kind to imprison you for a few days. It would be too heartless to scold me at this time!" Li Yuechen interrupted After listening to his words, he raised his hand and looked at his fingers, "Or, do you want to continue being locked up here?"

Hearing her words, Lun Qinling couldn't help shivering. Although he didn't want to admit it, he did have a little fear of this little girl who was less than twenty years old in front of him.

If he continues to be locked up here, he has no doubt that he might really go crazy!

He lowered his head unwillingly, and his hoarse voice revealed the transparency after accepting his fate: "Your Highness wants to ask anything, just ask."
