The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 196 The Regent is Coming

Wen Jizhen didn't realize that he was being watched. When he got out of Yunlai Pavilion and the carriage drove into the alley, the driver was directly knocked out.

The carriage shook violently, the horse neighed, Wen Jizhen rushed forward unexpectedly, and knelt down on one knee on the floor of the carriage with a plop, "Hiss—how did you drive the carriage?"

He cursed with a livid face, but he didn't hear a response for a long time, and the surroundings were terribly quiet, and an ominous premonition suddenly floated in his heart.

He widened his eyes, climbed up cautiously, and was about to open the car curtain to have a look.

Someone took the first step, and the curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a blue grimace mask. He was so frightened that he suddenly fell back and hit his head on the wall of the car.

Wen Jizhen grinned and stretched out his hand to cover the back of his head, pointing at Tsing Yi with a trembling hand: "You, you, who are you? What do you want to do? This place is at the feet of the emperor, so don't let yourself go!"

Tsing Yi was amused by this bluff, and he snorted softly: "What are you doing? Of course I'm asking Mr. Wen to drink tea——"

"You do—uh!"

Before he could finish his harsh words, Tsing Yi rushed forward with a stride, and slashed Wen Jizhen's neck with a knife in his hand. After the severe pain, Wen Jizhen's eyes instantly went dark.

Seeing his body slipping down limply, Tsing Yi stretched out his hand to catch it and pushed back, turned around and threw the driver in, he himself took the driver's place, put on the driver's hat, pulled up the reins, "Drive~ "

The carriage stopped for a moment and continued on, as if nothing had happened.

The carriage went straight to the gate of the palace, and the Imperial Forest Army wanted to stop it. Tsing Yi took out Xiao Yu's token, "The Regent has an order to let me into the palace."

The Imperial Forest Army saw it, and immediately backed away: "Yes."

Tsing Yi directly drove the carriage into the palace, and went straight to Xianrong Palace.

Arriving outside the Xianrong Palace, Tsing Yi stepped into the carriage first, tore two pieces of cloth from the two people's clothes, and covered their heads with a slightly rough movement.

"Tsk, will you suffocate to death?"

Tsing Yi stroked her chin and looked at it for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes!"

He took out the dagger from his pocket, and cut two holes of different sizes in the position of their noses, just enough to expose the nostrils, and one or two nose hairs could be seen when they were close.

Tsing Yi clapped her hands in satisfaction: "That's it."

Then he held one in each hand, grabbed them by their collars and threw them off the carriage, "Go, tie them up and lock them up in the inner prison."

"Yes."

The guard at the gate stepped forward and twisted the arms of the two of them and walked out, Tsing Yi followed closely behind.

The inner prison is used in the palace to punish eunuchs and maids who have made mistakes. It is located in a remote place and the inside is gloomy.

Usually no one with high status comes here, so the stewards here are just like the emperor, domineering inside, and life is very happy.

So when he received the news that the Prince Regent was coming, Li Shuang, the eunuch in charge, jumped up from his chair, "Who do you think is here?"

The little eunuch trembled and said: "The regent is here, and he also brought the left envoy of the searcher."

"What?" Li Shuang grabbed the young eunuch's collar, stared and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Where is he?"

"Here, to the yard."

When Li Shuangru was struck by lightning, his eyes rolled and his mind started to move rapidly. He shouldn't have done anything excessive, so he wouldn't be arrested by the prince, right?

Drink a little wine, take a little money, no big deal...

He comforted himself in this way, and then slapped the little eunuch's hat, causing him to stumble: "Hurry up and go out with me to welcome the lord? He is clumsy all day long, really..."

"No need, the king will come by himself."

Xiao Yu's voice came from outside the door, frightened Li Shuang, and hurriedly ran out, "Oh, what kind of wind is it blowing today? You have to work for your lord? What orders does your lord send someone to tell you?" , How dare I bother you to go there yourself!"

He was so full of smiles that his eyes were squeezed out.

Xiao Yu knew exactly what he was thinking, he pretended to be polite on the surface, and he was not sure how to scold himself.

But she didn't come to trouble him today, how many clean people are there in this palace?Li Shuang is still restrained, there is nothing wrong with it, she can let it go by turning a blind eye.

"It's natural that the king has something to do."

She stood in the middle of the yard and looked around, "Where is the cell?"

Li Shuang asked suspiciously in a low voice: "What is the lord doing in the cell? It's dirty and filthy, I'm afraid it will taint the lord's eyes."

Xiao Yu glanced at him lightly, and Li Shuang immediately closed his mouth. Does this mean that he is not allowed to ask?
"lead the way."

"Yes..." Li Shuang was at a loss, and took Xiao Yu and Han Yi to the inner prison with fear.

The inner prison was smaller and dirtier than ordinary prisons. Once inside, there was a cross-shaped wooden frame with iron chains hanging on it. It seemed loose and unused for a long time. The blood on it had dried up and solidified into black.

Under the illumination of the dim oil lamp, the cold light is reflected.

Just looking at the wooden frame and the mottled blood stains on it, one can even imagine what happened here.

The smell of blood and rancidity permeated the humid air, making one wonder if something was rotten inside.

Li Shuang pinched her nose, and quietly glanced sideways at Xiao Yu, wanting to see her reaction, but Xiao Yu had no expression at all, as if what she saw were ordinary flowers and plants, without even frowning one time.

Li Shuang: "..."

Terrible, at such a young age, at such a hard heart.

Xiao Yu stood in front of the wooden frame, looked at the various instruments of torture hanging on the surrounding walls, and nodded with satisfaction: "You go out first, someone will come later, just say that the king is waiting for them here."

Li Shuang glanced at Han Yi who had been silent all this time, and didn't dare to ask any further questions, nodded and said, "Yes, this slave will leave."

As soon as he turned around, he saw a big mouse sprinting in the dark under his feet. He cursed in a low voice, and kicked the mouse aside.

Han Yi frowned, and whispered in Xiao Yu's ear: "Master, this place is really too dirty, why don't you go outside and wait, the subordinates and Qing Yi will definitely be able to pry that man's mouth open."

"No, it's not a big deal, there's no dark alley stink here yet."

Thinking of the smell of the dark alley, Han Yi raised his eyebrows, which is true.

Fortunately, Tsing Yi's movements were quick enough, so he didn't keep them waiting for a long time, and within a quarter of an hour, he walked in with two heavily tied people.

"Master, someone brought it here."

The Imperial Forest Army was left outside, and now there are only a few of them in the inner prison.

As for the other prisoners, Xiao Yu smiled, and it didn't matter if they heard it. After listening to it, it was considered a skill for them to dare to speak out.
