Chapter 240 Three Whips
What the concubine said was right, the safest time was when no one knew Chu Xun's whereabouts, and it was indeed not possible to startle the snake at this time, so as not to bring more harm to Chu Xun.

Ji Jiaoyue understood what the imperial concubine meant, and she instructed Huo Dao to pay attention to safety and report back to the manor as soon as there was news.

Huo Dao knew how important this investigation mission was, and it was related to the prince. He straightened his body and gave Ji Jiaoyue a relaxed look, "Don't worry, my concubine, my subordinates will definitely do their best."

Ji Jiaoyue nodded, "Well, everything is up to you."

The imperial concubine herself was not idle, and the empress handed it over to Ji Jiaoyue, and she had to go there to check on the emperor's physical condition.

After Ji Jiaoyue bid farewell to the imperial concubine, she asked the young lady who had just led the way to escort her out of the palace, while Huo Dao stayed in the palace to prepare for a night visit to the queen's bedroom, and the imperial concubine went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After returning home, Ji Haiqing and Shang Wanlian saw their daughter was dressed strangely, Shang Wanlian quickly asked, "Where did Yue'er go and why is she dressed like this?"

Ji Jiaoyue put away her tired and worried look, and put a smile on her face, "After all, it's dark, my daughter is going out to relax by dressing like this."

Ji Jiaoyue didn't tell the story of meeting the imperial concubine, and she lied to avoid worrying them.

The Ji family is the richest man in Dayan. Although he does not participate in the government affairs, he is well-informed about the news.

When Ji Haiqing knew that King Chen was being imprisoned, he knew that something big must happen in the court, even someone as smart as King Chen was plotted into it.

Looking at their daughter's busy schedule these days, Ji's parents suddenly hoped that Ji Jiaoyue could choose a new marriage.

Shang Wanlian took Ji Jiaoyue's hand and sighed, "Oh, it would be great if you married an ordinary family."

"Mother, father, don't worry, my daughter is fine now, and the matter of Prince Chen will be revealed soon."

Ji Jiaoyue understood her parents' concerns in her heart, but since she chose Chu Xun, she must stand behind him as a strong backing, and she would not back down.

On the other side, Huo Dao had already begun to move into the harem.

Before entering the harem, the concubine's maid taught Huo Dao the posture that a woman should have for a long time, so as not to be seen by others.

Huo Dao is tall and muscular because he has been practicing martial arts all year round. He is wearing a light-colored skirt at this time, with a simple hair accessory for a court lady on his hair. He put on a very delicate makeup to look even weirder.

From this point of view, it looks like a ghost is walking in small steps in the imperial garden.

This made Huo Dao very uncomfortable. Usually he walks like a shooting star, but now the clothes seem to restrict his movements, which is so awkward, he keeps muttering, "This clothes are so uncomfortable, I can't breathe angry."

"I really don't know how these women can breathe when they are so strangled."

"And this shoe, it hurts my feet because of the jam."

Along the way, Huo Dao babbled a lot, and kept muttering in a low voice. If anyone heard it this night, he would be scared out of his wits by his weird appearance and muttering.

As he was nagging all the way, he almost reached the Queen's bedroom, Huo Dao was finally able to show his fists, he flew to the roof of the Queen's bedroom, and tiptoed on the tiles.

For the convenience of observation, he lifted a tile.

Looking down, the queen is leading people into an extremely hidden wall door in the bedroom.

"Secret room?" Huo Dao thought for a while, "Could it be that the prince is locked in this secret room?"

Seeing the door of the secret room closing slowly, Huo Dao hurriedly memorized the location of the secret room so that he would have the opportunity to investigate later.

And the other side.
After entering the secret room, the queen came to the dungeon just to visit Prince Chen who was secretly imprisoned by him.

On the day Chu Xun was convicted and taken into custody, it was the empress who had arranged for her own people to come in to take him in. After they were brought out of the court hall, they secretly drugged Prince Chen to stun him, and imprisoned him in his secret room and dungeon.

The purpose is to allow him to plead guilty to all such crimes, isn't this just whimsical?Is Chen Wang the one who will be intimidated by this small scene?Naturally, he did not agree, and then Prince Chen was punished in this dark dungeon.

Now it is already scarred and bruised.

At this time, King Chen, who was sober in the dungeon, found himself tied to a pillar. The guards quickly put the confession in front of him and asked him to draw a charge. King Chen raised his head and laughed, "This confession is so ugly. I don't see it very clearly, so I re-write it, and after I write it, I may be reluctant to do it."

Seeing that Chu Xun was still sharp-tongued, the queen's eyes tightened, "Hit me until he agrees to bet."

The guard who received the order took out his whip and deliberately let the whip soak in the salt water next to him for a while.

The whip was already painful enough, but if it was soaked in salt water and then hit Chu Xun, who was already covered in injuries, it would be like adding salt to the wound, and the pain would be even worse.

The pain can be imagined.

The guard slowly walked towards Chu Xun with the whip soaked in breath, then raised his arm, and the next moment it fell heavily on Chu Xun.

A whip with a 'snap'.

Two whips.

Three whips.

Chu Xun gritted his teeth in a muffled voice, and the wounds on his body were gradually eroded by the salt water on the whip. The new wounds added to the old pain, and a swelling sensation surged all over his body, which made him numb. Finally, the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe, and passed out.

Seeing that Chu Xun had fainted without shouting, the whipping guard couldn't help admiring him.

"Your Majesty, I'm already fainted." The guard reminded the queen beside her.

The queen didn't plan to let Chu Xun pass out, but continued with a sneer, "Wake him up, let him continue to bet."

The guard hesitated for a moment, then froze in place.

"Don't hurry up?" the queen urged

At this time, the prime minister hurried in and stopped the queen, "Your Majesty, hurry up and go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to take a look. The imperial concubine is just outside the hall saying that she wants to see the emperor, but the guards have already stopped her, but she won't last long, so go and have a look! "

"This woman usually doesn't leave the door, and she doesn't walk through the second door. Why does she suddenly want to see the emperor today?" The queen frowned, wondering what the concubine was going to do today, to spoil her good deeds.

Thinking that the imperial concubine's side is more serious, I can only go there first.

Then she cast a vicious glance at Chu Xun who had passed out, and she could only let it go today, she took the prime minister and left the secret room.

Therefore, Chu Xun could be regarded as temporarily escaped.

Huo Dao on the roof saw the queen leaving the bedroom in a hurry, he knew that the opportunity to enter the secret room had come.
