The dungeon in the palace was cleaner than the other cells. After all, the prisoners held here were all felons. Perhaps some noble person would come to interrogate them, but the dungeon was dark. Even though there was a light every ten steps, it was still dim and depressing.
When Su Mianyue first came to the dungeon, he paid close attention on the road. Most of the lights were rarely lit. Apparently, in order to torture the prisoners psychologically, they were almost invisible.
Ji Ruyun was left alone in a stone room because of his serious injury, and the imperial physician was still giving the injection when the two of them arrived.
Ji Xun asked the imperial physician about the situation in a low voice and then asked him to withdraw. His eyes fell on the silver needle on ji ruyun's head. If he inserted another centimeter into Ji Ruyun, he would die, but if he pulled out another centimeter, Ji Ruyun would wake up.
Looking at Ji Xun's hand on the silver needle, Su Mianyue turned and walked out of the stone room, asking the guards to close Shimen and take her to the next cell to see yun wansheng. As for Ji Xun's safety, Su Mianyue did not have to think about it. With ji ruyun's situation, Ji Xun could not be harmed at all. Moreover, the secret guards were deployed along the way.
"I am the emperor, I am the son of the dragon. I will kneel and kowtow when I see you!" Yun Wansheng pointed to the jailer outside the cell and shouted.
Su Mianyue only heard this one sentence and knew that Yun Wansheng was pretending to be crazy, because his tone was not crazy enough.
Hanging up a sneer, Su Mianyue instructed the jailer to prepare an iron brush and sat outside the cell to watch Yun Wansheng's not brilliant acting.
After she arrived, Yun Wansheng looked at her casually, but Yun Wansheng did not know her, but the flash of surprise and playfulness was real.
"Girl, it's ready." The jailer came forward with a metal brush, and someone set up the instruments of torture.
"Bring them out." Su Mianyue said lightly, sitting in his chair without moving, not avoiding the idea of torturing Yun Wansheng.
In fact, Yun Wansheng's clothes could no longer cover much of his body, at most important parts could only cover one or two.
After the jailer tied Yun Wansheng up, Su Mianyue asked, "Yun Wansheng, it's no use pretending to be crazy. I have ten thousand ways to get you to talk. Now I'll give you a chance. If you tell me the truth about the people who came to save you, I'll let you off for a while, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
As if he had not heard Su Mianyue's words, Yun Wansheng still said in a crazy voice, "Beauty, which palace are you from? Why don't I remember seeing you? Tonight you stay here to sleep, and tomorrow I will appoint you as my imperial concubine, so I will kneel down and thank you."
His eyes slowly turned cold, and Su Mianyue said coldly, "From the legs, I want to see if yun wansheng's bones are hard or his mouth is hard!"
When Yun Wansheng teased Su Mianyue, the jailer was covered in cold sweat. Although the master did not have a formal title, as long as the sacred grace continued, it would be equivalent to the queen without the harem. Once long yan gets angry, people like them who have heard crazy things will never get over it.
Now, under Su Mianyue's orders, the jailer did not dare to neglect him. He quickly went up and tore open Yun Wansheng's tattered trousers. He picked up the iron brush and hung it up against the flesh. With the stench, the noise spread and the whole torture room was nauseating.
"Ah!" Yun Wansheng gritted his teeth and could not hold on. He cried out in pain, but the jailer did not dare to stop without Su Mianyue's orders. He cut Yun Wansheng's leg again and again. The flesh quickly turned to mud, and after a few more strokes, white bones could be seen.
Looking coldly at Yun Wansheng's pained and ferocious expression, he turned a deaf ear to yun wansheng's curses. It was not until he heard the sound of iron brushes scratching bones that Su Mianyue waved to the jailer to stop.
"I heard that crazy people don't know the pain. It seems that you're not good enough to pretend to be crazy. Otherwise, even if I cut off one of your fingers and let you eat it, you'll eat it right." Su Mianyue moved his limp body. The number of times he loved someone was exhausting, especially when the chair in the dungeon was still uncomfortable. Su Mianyue, who missed the soft couch, frowned and said, "But you have the strength to scold me. I think you can endure it for a while longer. Then shave off your other leg."
The jailer took his orders and started tearing apart Yun Wansheng's other trouser leg. The sound of the rags breaking made Yun Wansheng's body tremble. He struggled to escape, but his hands and feet were tied, and he could only make the sound of his body crashing against the board.
"You should have tried more or less of the other instruments of torture here. Does today's punishment feel very fresh?" Bending his fingers against the railing, Su Mianyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll let you experience it again when your skin and flesh are healed. When do you think this punishment will pass? Let's try something new. Since someone can come to the dungeon to save you, you won't be willing to die no matter how much you suffer, right?"
"Demon girl, you are a demon girl who can eat people!" Yun Wansheng glared at Su Mianyue and cursed, but just as the curse fell, he cried out in pain.
Su Mianyue's hair swelled when he heard this, and he ordered someone to shut Yun Wansheng's mouth. He was thinking about who might be the one who would save yun wansheng, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a clue. Yun Wansheng was a mediocrity, and it was probably because of this that the previous emperor chose him as his son-in-law, but he did not want to be dazed by a Zheng Xiuru who had the ambition to kill the emperor and usurp the throne.
What was the use of saving a useless man who had no power or royal blood?
On this side, Su Mianyue fell into his own thoughts, because there was no noise in his ears but he forgot that he was still torturing him. On the other side, the conversation between Ji Xun and Ji Ruyun had come to an end.
To be exact, Ji Ruyun used her only life to blame god for the injustice, to curse Yun Wansheng and Zheng Xiuru, including Ji Xun, who she had hated for the rest of her life, while Ji Xun stood by and listened with a cold face, and the last bit of kinship with ji ruyun was consumed in this meeting.
When a knock came from outside the stone room, Ji Xun interrupted Ji Ruyun's curse and said coldly, "Xiao nan is here. Don't let her see you as a shrew. This is your last dignity as a mother."
Ji Ruyun suddenly stopped and looked at Ji Xun in disbelief, but Ji Xun had already stepped away.
After Ji Xun walked out of the stone room, a woman in a veil walked into the stone room. Ji Ruyun wanted to say one last word to Ji Xun but was stopped by Shimen.
When Shimen was closed, Yun Nanyue raised his hand to lift the veil, his hair in a nun's bun, and his eyes were full of tears, but they were not very sad. His eyes were no longer as bright and fresh as they used to be.
"Little uncle asked me to take you on your last journey." Yun Nanyue's voice choked as he spoke. He walked slowly to the bed and looked at Ji Ruyun, who was dying. He didn't know what to say or what to call him.
"Did Ji Xun force you to become a monk? He won't let you go, will he?" Ji Ruyun shouted with bloodshot eyes, "Ji Xun, I'm dying. Do you still have to make things difficult for Nanyue? She's my only blood and your niece! She even broke up with my mother for you. Can't you let her go? Nanyue, she can't affect you. She won't steal the throne from you!"
"Enough!" Yun Nanyue let out a low cry and stood up straight with a disappointed look on his face, "If my uncle hadn't stopped me, I would have lost my hair. Haven't you had less lives in your hands all these years? I want to atone for your sins, I want to save my brother and sister, and our family will end up like this because of your wolf ambition. What right do you have to blame my uncle!"
