Chapter 395 Interrogation Results
  Yue Pei hesitated when he was about to speak. He knew very well that even if he agreed, his family would not agree to take this risk.

Looking at his appearance, Xiao Qingqing was ready to leave.

Suddenly there was a voice from behind.

"Although I can't represent my family, I can represent myself. I am willing to go to the dungeon with the princess to interrogate the prisoners. At worst, I will leave with the prince and princess in the future. I don't believe you will ignore me." Yue Pei expressed his attitude.

Although what he said was unclear, Xiao Qingqing knew that he was on their side, so she stopped and smiled.

"It's good if you have this heart. I also believe you. It's only a matter of time before the relationship between the prince and the court is severed. If you stay in the capital, you can do more for us." Xiao Qingqing smiled. Then she said what she thought.

Yue Pei thought carefully and felt that it made sense, but he was a little reluctant: "Does this mean I won't be able to come to the palace to interact with you all the time?"

Since he wanted to stay in the capital to help, the first thing he had to do was to draw a clear line with the Beihuang Palace.

Xiao Qingqing nodded: "That's all we can do now."

"The sudden cessation of contact will definitely arouse suspicion. You must find a suitable reason." Yue Pei was in a dilemma. Nowadays, no one in the capital knew that he had close contacts with the Beihuang Palace.

"Let's interrogate the assassins first." Xiao Qingqing suggested. He couldn't think of a good way at the moment. Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to go see the situation of those assassins.

When he heard that he was going to interrogate the assassin, Yue Pei became interested and immediately followed him.

In the dungeon, the sounds of mourning and mourning continued.

"Princess." The guards in the dungeon saluted after seeing Xiao Qingqing, and at the same time led the way to a cell.

Those assassins from before were all gathered together.

Different from the last time I saw them, their injuries had already healed, but now their haggard and red bloodshot eyes really startled Yue Pei.

"Didn't they punish them? Why do they look like this?" Yue Pei was curious about what method Xiao Qingqing used.

"You can also try not being allowed to sleep for several days. You will be like them. This is not only physical torture, but also mental torture. These assassins can come to the palace to assassinate, so naturally they are not afraid of torture or death. , to deal with such people, they will naturally be punished both physically and mentally."

Xiao Qingqing proudly recounted her punishment.

"Princess, we know we were wrong, and we are willing to say anything!"

When the assassins saw Xiao Qingqing, they seemed to have seen a savior. They quickly rushed to the cell door, scrambling to tell them what they knew.

Yue Pei didn't expect this punishment to be so effective.

"Sure enough, the gentle sword is the most deadly!" Yue Pei couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time looked at Xiao Qingqing and asked, "Princess, what other punishments do you have? Why don't you tell me?"

Yue Pei's eyes lit up and he concentrated on studying.

Xiao Qingqing had no choice but to clear her throat: "Now we are interrogating the assassin."

Only then did Yue Pei restrain himself.

"Tell me, who sent you to the palace to assassinate me?" Yue Pei asked these assassins with a serious look on his face.

The assassins named them a lot, hoping that Xiao Qingqing and the others would let them go for the sake of telling the truth.

Xiao Qingqing looked solemn and asked someone to write down these people.

"Why are there so many? Are you lying?" Yue Pei was surprised and didn't believe what these people said. The assassins could not help complaining: "What we said is true. Even if we were given ten courages, we would not dare to lie."

All they wanted now was to have a good sleep and no longer suffer such inhuman torture.

Yue Pei still wanted to question, but was stopped by Xiao Qingqing: "The prince made many enemies in the past. It may not be impossible for these people to conspire. Besides, there is no need to lie with their appearance now."

With Xiao Qingqing saying this, Yue Pei couldn't say anything.

Xiao Qingqing called the guards and asked them to continue questioning to see what else they could find out.

At this time, the secret guard suddenly appeared and saluted Xiao Qingqing: "Princess, Miss Murong is here."

"Let's go." Xiao Qingqing said, taking Yue Pei out of the dungeon.

As soon as she arrived at the front hall, she saw Murong Jing running happily. When she was about to say hello, she saw that the two of them looked strange and asked confusedly: "What happened? Why don't you look good?"

Yue Pei wanted to speak, but Murong Jing looked careless. He was worried that others would know about what happened in the dungeon, and he didn't want her to get involved.

"It's okay, you saw it wrong." Yue Pei said calmly, signaling her not to ask any more questions.

The smile on Murong Jing's face suddenly froze. The two people in front of her didn't look like they were okay. They were clearly hiding it on purpose.

Several successive inquiries were blocked by Yue Pei.

"Okay, don't ask about this matter!" Yue Pei didn't expect that she would be so recalcitrant and said angrily.

Now, Murong Jing was completely angry: "What do you mean by this? I came here to find the princess, who asked you, what are you talking about here? Besides, I asked you out of kindness, who are you showing your anger to?" Is it great to be the crown prince? Don’t forget that this is the Beihuang Prince’s Palace!”

"Why are you so angry? I've already told you this matter, so don't ask me and it's over. It's not over yet. What can you do even if I tell you? Why are you so stubborn!" Yue Pei was not to be outdone. , argue with reason.

"What's wrong with me being so stubborn! I'm also concerned. The princess didn't even say anything. What are you talking about here!" Murong Jing snorted coldly.

The noise in her ears made Xiao Qingqing rub her temples with a headache. She didn't expect the two of them to be so noisy.

"Okay, please stop arguing." Xiao Qingqing said helplessly.

In an instant, their eyes fell on Xiao Qingqing. Murong Jing immediately stepped forward and asked Xiao Qingqing unconvinced: "Princess, you are here to judge. Did I do anything wrong? Is my kindness and concern wrong?"

Xiao Qingqing hesitated, but still shook her head: "That's right."

Murong Jing held her head high and said disdainfully, "Did you see that the princess said I was right!"

"Princess, if I don't say it, it's for her own good. Am I wrong?" Yue Pei was unwilling to accept it and asked Xiao Qingqing.

Xiao Qingqing sighed helplessly, obviously understanding Yue Pei's good intentions: "You are right, and I can understand it."

"Miss Murong actually misunderstood Prince Yue. He did have good intentions and did not intentionally not tell you. After all, it is better that you don't know some things." Xiao Qingqing was also advising Murong Jing.

It doesn't matter if you don't advise her, Murong Jing will jump up when she is advised.

"Princess, you are too biased. What did I do wrong? If you can't say it, you can't say it. Just explain it clearly. In the end, it will be my fault!" Murong Jing was unhappy and felt that it was inevitable. It was Yue Pei who first went to the palace to bewitch Xiao Qingqing.
