"Your Majesty …" You... "I'm in so much pain …" She couldn't help but let out a wail. She used her hand to cover her nose that was in pain. It was really painful …

Seeing her pained look, Long Zhaosu smiled and said: "Did it hurt? "Come, let me massage for you." As he spoke, he reached out his hand and pulled her close to his eyes, as if he was going to massage her.

"Ugh …" "It's better if I don't. I can do it myself." The latter immediately took a step back and wanted him to help her massage it. It was better to choose to be in pain. She had always been this way of thinking about how far away she could be from him.

However, Long Zhaoting forcibly took her hand off his nose, using his fingers to gently massage her nose. He could feel that her body was stiff, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing an evil smile.

Before Lin Mu Fan could understand the smile on his face, he suddenly heard a scolding voice not far away. This voice made the two people who were flirting involuntarily look at each other. However, Long Zhaojing had never been one to gossip, so he was not interested in those insults.

Lin Mofan originally did not care much about it. However, she could faintly hear that the curses of the person who scolded her seemed to have something to do with the theft of the antidote. Therefore, her heart skipped a beat, and she pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

Due to the small distance between them, they couldn't hear it clearly. Lin Mu Fan looked around and found that they had unknowingly arrived next to the medicine store in the backyard.

"What are they doing?" Lin Mu Fan curiously asked as his feet involuntarily approached those people.

After passing by a fake mountain, one could clearly see two bodyguards painfully groveling on the ground after having their staff shaped. On the other side, there was a somewhat familiar middle-aged man who angrily rebuked the two bodyguards while coldly glaring at them: "Hurry up and admit it, who actually dares to steal that bit of rouge?"

"Uncle Cang, have mercy! The servants really didn't steal it. They don't have the guts!" The two guards wailed on the ground, who would dare steal the medicine here? Who didn't know that the Valley Master of the Poison King Valley was cold and bloodthirsty? No matter how brave they were, they wouldn't dare to take their lives as a joke!

"You dog slave still dare to be stubborn, beat him up!" Uncle Cang ordered coldly, and the man holding the staff immediately waved his wooden staff, mercilessly slapping it on their bodies. The new round of wails and howls resounded through half of Poison King Valley. Lin Mofan, who was not far away, felt his heart jump in fear and was ashamed.

"Uncle Cang … Uncle Cang, spare us …! " The two guards who had been beaten up cried and begged for mercy. Blood seeped out of their clothes, and blood seeped out from the corners of their mouths at the same time. Unfortunately, no matter how much they begged for mercy, Uncle Cang didn't have the slightest intention of letting them go. He obviously wanted to beat them to death.

Not only did Uncle Cang not show mercy, he even coldly announced, "If you don't hand over the silk powder, then you don't have to stop. "Let's see which one of you can last until the end."

Lin Mu Fan's heart was burning with anxiety. He really wanted to immediately rush forward and grab the wooden staff in their hands. Silkworm powder was obviously not stolen by those two, how could he beat them up like this! This Uncle Cang's way of doing things was indeed very poisonous, cold-blooded and merciless to the point that he didn't even care about the lives of others.

"Mu Fei, are you feeling heartache?" Longze walked to her side, a smile that was not a smile on his face, watching her restlessness, with a mocking look on his face.

"This is too cruel. I will beat them to death." Lin Mofan said in a daze. He raised his head and stared at the Emperor, "Your majesty, quickly give the order for them to stop. Otherwise, people will really die!"

"Since he dares to steal the medicine from the Poison King's Valley, he already doesn't place life and death at his heart." Long Ze said indifferently. He looked at the two of them, who were badly mutilated, and didn't even bat an eyelid.

Lin Mu Fan had long since experienced his callousness, so he was not surprised. But because she felt ashamed, she did not give up and defended herself: "But they said they didn't steal it, how can they wrongly accuse a good person like that? Things have to be investigated thoroughly before they can be beaten. " Even if they didn't steal the confession, they would have been humiliated to such an extent that they didn't expect it to be so popular in ancient times.

Long Ze smiled as he sized her up and teased, "Could it be that Mu Fei thinks that there's someone else who is stealing the medicine? Uncle Cang wronged them? In that case, who could it be? Who would have the guts to do so? "

"Ugh …" Lin Mu Fan was stunned and hastily avoided his twinkling black eyes as he uneasily said: "I just feel that I can't hit others like this. I have to talk about human rights and respect life …"

She knew that talking about human rights in this ancient era felt a little bit like playing the lute to a cow, but she couldn't just rush up and admit that she had stolen the medicine. Otherwise, she would be the one lying on the ground with a stick in her hand, and her silk powder would be confiscated. If an imperial concubine were to be a thief, anyone who heard of it would laugh their teeth out!

Just as the two guards were about to be beaten to death, Lin Mu Fan finally could no longer endure it any longer and rushed forward. All of you, stop right there! "

Everyone present was stunned. When they saw Lin Mofan, they immediately knelt down and greeted him. Lin Mu Fan waved his hand at them and said: "You should all rise. Quickly release them and stop fighting."

"Empress …" Uncle Cang was in a difficult situation. He cupped his hands and said carefully, "These two servants stole precious medicines from the medicine warehouse. Master said that this kind of person cannot be allowed to live, not to mention the truth."

When the two guards saw Lin Mofan, they immediately crawled towards him with great difficulty, dragging a pool of blood on the ground as they begged painfully, "The Empress … "Empress …" "The servants really haven't stolen any medicine …"

Lin Mofan simply did not dare to witness their miserable state and struggled in his heart. Should she admit to her crimes? Otherwise, she felt really sorry for causing these two to suffer so much. After hesitating for a while, she still did not have the courage to do so. She could only say, "Did you hear that? They all said that they didn't steal anything, did you check it out clearly? "

"Esteemed Empress, the medicine was stolen this morning. These two servants were the ones who were in charge of cleaning the room. Other than them, no one else has been in." Uncle Cang cast a cold glance at the two and said.

Lin Mofan rolled his eyes in annoyance. This morning, it was clearly because she had taken it away last night. It seemed that this man called Uncle Cang was very weak and would only make a move.

"Empress, please take a step back. Don't let the two servants' blood splash onto your body." Uncle Cang reminded him very kindly, and gave a look to the torturer. The sturdy wooden stick swung up once again and fell down. The wailing also rang out once again, and all of this happened right before her eyes.

Fresh red blood splattered on her white dress. The voices of the two guards were ashamed and weak, but they still held onto Pu Qian's hope and shouted, "Empress … Empress, save me! Slave … "I really haven't stolen anything before …!"

Lin Mu Fan gritted his teeth. He could not help but yell: "Stop!"

Lifting the wooden staff high up, Uncle Cang respectfully asked, "What orders does the Empress have?"

"No need to call, I stole the medicine last night. If you want to call, just hit me." With an expression as though he was going for broke, Lin Mofan told Uncle Cang in all seriousness. If someone else died for her, two lives at that. Even if she took the medicine back, she would feel guilty and unsettled for the rest of her life.

When she said those words, everyone present was stunned. They stared at her in astonishment, as if they had heard something inconceivable. Uncle Cang was stunned for a moment, then laughed apologetically, "The Empress must be joking, how could this medicine be stolen by the Empress? What medicine does Empress want? You only need to instruct your servant to do it. "

"I'm not joking. The medicine was indeed stolen by me. Hurry up and let them go. You want to beat me up?" She had left the medicine in the room. Otherwise, she would have taken out some dirt on the spot to clear the two pitiful people of their innocence.

"Ugh …" "This …" Uncle Cang rubbed his hands in a dilemma. Who would voluntarily come up to plead guilty, and it was even a imperial concubine. If it was just a little servant girl, then it would be easy, but he would kill her.

"Since Mu Fei is willing to take the blame for them, Uncle Cang can just let them go and save the blood in this valley." An extremely mocking voice rang out from behind him.

Everyone was surprised for a moment before they all kneeled down and kowtowed. "Your Imperial Majesty's good fortune."

Lin Mu Fan suddenly turned around and looked at Long Ze, who was quietly walking over. His handsome face was filled with a strange smile that was hard to understand. Every time he smiled like that, there would be hidden thoughts hidden beneath the smile. This time, it must be the same!

Cold sweat dripped from Lin Mofan's forehead as he thought to himself, 'Could he have stolen the medicine from Uncle Cang long ago to force her to confess?'

When she entered the medicine warehouse last night, many guards knew that she was the one who stole the medicine. However, no one came to question her, so she pretended that she hadn't.

"This servant respects the order." Uncle Cang replied respectfully. The two pitiful worms, whose flesh had been ripped open, cried out in joy. They dragged their weak bodies to thank Longze and Lin Mufan.

The more they thanked him, the more Lin Mu Fan felt ashamed. Especially Long Zhaofeng's gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything, it made her feel ashamed and numb. However, Long Zhaoting didn't say anything, nor did he directly condemn her. She could just take it as if she was really taking the blame for someone else.

Uncle Cang and the servants all retreated, leaving only Long Ze and Lin Mufan. Lin Mu Fan looked embarrassedly at Long Ze, who was pursing his red lips, and asked carefully, "Your majesty, do you not know about Mu Chen's crime? "If you're unsure, let's continue visiting the garden. It's said that there are lotus flowers over there, it's really pretty."

"Alright, let's go see the lotus flowers." Long Ze smiled slyly as he embraced her body and walked towards the depths of the garden. She turned her gaze to the side of her face, which was faintly discernible, and secretly smiled under her veil. She was just so kind and caring. No matter if it was a dog or a servant, they could pull out her hidden heart!
