This is Han Yunxi's second time in prison.
However, this time was different from the last time, this time she was directly detained in a small dark room.
As soon as the iron door was closed, the whole room was completely invisible. She didn't know how big the room was, what was in it, or who else was there.
Darkness represents the unknown, no matter how bold people are, they will be afraid, and they must be lying if they say they are not afraid.
Han Yunxi barely groped to the edge of the wall, sat down along the wall, and curled up her body.
It's almost dawn outside, what's the situation in the palace now
Do Concubine Yi and Long Feiye know what happened to her? What is their attitude? What is the attitude of Emperor Tianhui
When will she be interrogated? Who will judge
Han Yunxi waited anxiously, but who knew that she had to wait for three days and three nights. During these three days and three nights, the jailer only brought her water at regular intervals, but no food. During these three days and three nights, no one came to see her.
No news is the best news. However, such an unknown is more terrifying to Han Yunxi than a room full of darkness. There's no way to speculate.
The only thing she knows is that this is not a frame, no one in the palace dares to frame her with Princess Changping's life, so there are only two truths, one is that an assassin poisoned her, and the other is that Princess Changping has wounds on her body Touched something poisonous.
To find out these, we still have to start from the toxins on the corpse.
However, she doesn't even have a chance to defend herself now. If this drags on, the toxins in the corpse will change after a long time. Once it can't be found out, why should she be the most suspected one
Thinking of this, Han Yunxi immediately went to knock on the door. The sound of "bang bang bang" was very good, but she knocked for a long time, but no one paid any attention to her.
Who knew, after that, the person who delivered the water didn't even come, and another two days and two nights passed.
Han Yunxi finally felt scared. She curled up in a dark corner, thirsty and hungry, her whole body was cold, and her heart was mostly cold.
What's going on outside
Is there really no one to care about her
Han Yunxi knew that the only ones who could save her now were Concubine Yi and Long Feiye, she would not count on Concubine Yi, and Long Feiye...
Where is he now and what is he doing? Couldn't he save her too? Or... is he not going to save him
The shocking words of Long Feiye at the family dinner on New Year's Eve are still in her ears. She admits that she has expectations in her heart.
Finally, on the morning of the fifth day, the iron gate was opened!
When the light shone in from the outside, Han Yunxi immediately stood up. No matter how dazzling she was, she didn't close her eyes. The light represented hope, but who knew, what she saw was a ferocious and terrifying tearful face, empress!
A few guards came in with lanterns to hang up, and soon the whole small room was lit up. At this time, Han Yunxi could clearly see the things in the room.
There was nothing in the room except a huge iron pot big enough to accommodate an adult, and there was a pile of firewood under the iron pot. Han Yunxi just glanced at it, and without thinking much, his eyes fell on the Queen.
The people brought by the queen were all guards, not jailers. It seemed that everyone in Dali Temple had been sent away.
The queen walked in, and the guards immediately stepped forward to arrest Han Yunxi.
A bitter smile appeared on Han Yunxi's lips, and she didn't struggle. She waited for five days and only waited for the queen to come. She knew she was doomed.
"Han Yunxi, Changping hasn't been coffined yet." The empress's lifeless tone made people uncomfortable.
"The cause of death is still unknown, if he is encoffined casually, Chang Ping will definitely die in peace." Han Yunxi's tone was also very flat.
She thought that the fact that she hadn't been encoffined for five days at least meant that the real murderer hadn't been identified yet, and she still had hope.
Unexpectedly, the queen was suddenly furious, rushed over and slapped Han Yunxi twice, "It's all because of you, if you don't die, Chang Ping will die with regret!"
Han Yunxi's hands were bound and she couldn't move. She turned her face sideways, shattered a mouthful of blood, and shot at the queen like a knife blade.
"I'll say it for the last time, Changping wasn't killed by me!"
"You killed it! You poisoned it!"
The queen backed up while scolding, and ordered angrily, "Come here, light the fire immediately, I must make this bitch confess today!"
ignition
Han Yunxi looked back, and saw the guards lit the firewood under the big iron pot, and then started pouring oil into it.
This... What is this going to do
The queen wants to extract a confession, shouldn't she be taken to the execution room? What are you burning oil for
The more Han Yunxi watched, the more disturbed she became. She looked at the queen, but the queen sneered at her sullenly. Han Yunxi felt that the queen's mental state was very strange, as if she was a lunatic.
"What exactly are you trying to do?" Han Yunxi asked loudly.
The queen sneered, looked at her from above, and didn't answer.
Finally, the oil in the huge iron pan behind him boiled, and the hot air radiated out, raising the temperature and humidity of the room, and the smell of oily smoke in the air became more and more disgusting.
Han Yunxi looked at it, as if thinking of something, her face gradually turned pale, and she shook her head again and again.
"Come on, hang her up!" The Queen finally spoke.
Now, Han Yunxi completely understood that although she had never seen this kind of criminal law, she was sure that it must be the scariest of all criminal laws!
"Let go! Let go!"
"Empress, what's the point of your torture? If you can't find out who killed Chang Ping, Chang Ping won't feel at ease even if he's buried!"
Han Yunxi yelled, but after hearing her words, instead of thinking about it, the queen became even more excited and yelled like crazy, "Shut up! You killed Changping, it must be you! As long as you die, she will kill you!" Will be at ease!"
If Han Yunxi pays serious attention at this time, she will definitely find that the queen's spirit is abnormal, but she has no time to take care of it.
She was tied up and hung on top of a large iron pan boiling with hot oil. Her feet were less than half a foot above the water, and she had to curl her legs up to avoid being burned by the heat.
There is only a rope on the back, which is controlled by the guards at the side to maintain her life. As long as the rope is loosened, her whole body will fall into the boiling hot oil pan. The temperature is enough to fry her instantly. right
The oil in the big iron pan was enough to submerge her whole body. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if she fell, she clenched her teeth tightly, but she still couldn't control her trembling.
terrible!
Who will save her!
Looking at Han Yunxi who was hanging on the hot oil pan, trembling, the queen finally calmed down a lot.
"Han Yunxi, did you kill Princess Changping?" she asked loudly.
Han Yunxi was trembling all the time, she didn't look at the queen, but stared at the hot oil, she didn't make a sound for a long time.
"Answer Bengong's question!" The Queen's voice became louder.
However, Han Yunxi still didn't answer, her lower lip was bleeding from her teeth.
"Very well, you don't want to recruit, do you?"
The queen took a deep breath, walked over, and suddenly snatched the rope from the guard's hand, and the rope immediately slipped for a while.
"Ah... help..."
Han Yunxi screamed, heart-piercing! Her knees were curled up to her chest, and her calves were almost touching the hot oil, and she almost touched the hot oil just a little bit.
Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't even breathe, she didn't dare to look down, she closed her eyes tightly, and there was only one thought in her mind, who will save her!
The queen was pulling the rope, with an almost perverted pleasure on her face, she watched with great interest, and said slowly, "Han Yunxi, I will give you one last chance, will you recruit...or...not?"
To recruit, or not to recruit
Live, or die
How can she recruit something she hasn't done before? If you recruit, you will die!
The only difference is that if you don't recruit, you will die very painfully!
Suddenly, the queen sternly said, "Han Yunxi, answer my question!"
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the queen viciously, and replied angrily, "No! I didn't do it! You wronged me, you lynched me to extract a confession, and it was you who made Chang Ping die inexplicably and with shame! You will die forever! You won't feel at ease!"
"Han Yunxi, you are courting death!"
The queen was also angry, and the rope in her hand began to be lowered little by little. However, this time, Han Yunxi did not struggle or curl up.
What she has done is so big, she dares to admit it!
If you kill something you haven't done, you will never admit it!
She looked at the hot oil in silence, and a heroic and poignant flower bloomed on her lips.
Recruiting or not recruiting is death, why bother to compromise and break one's pride? Why not die frankly and unrestrainedly
Some principles, some noble, will not be given up no matter what.
As the rope was lowered little by little, the hanging corners of the skirt began to become heavy. The corners of the skirt were already stuck to the hot oil, and soon, it would reach her calves.
She told herself, Han Yunxi, you are brave!
"Han Yunxi, you are doing well, I will let you taste the taste of your calves being fried!"
The queen yelled angrily, and suddenly let go of the rope!
Fall instantly!
However, at the very moment, a figure flew in like a sharp arrow.
thump!
Han Yunxi's falling body stopped abruptly, and then her whole body was pulled up.
Han Yunxi immediately opened her eyes, and saw... Long Feiye was standing on the edge of the big oil pan, holding the rope on top of her with one hand and behind her with the other.
He was dressed in white, standing tall and straight like a pine tree, yet graceful like an exiled fairy. His indifferent face was as calm as ever, but those deep eyes were full of overwhelming anger!
Long Feiye, you must be my patron saint, right
Long Feiye, five days... I finally waited for you.
The terrified Han Yunxi smiled inexplicably, without realizing that the corners of her eyes were wet.
No one expected that Long Feiye would appear at this time, the queen was the most shocked, she let go of the rope and retreated to the wall.
Long Feiye, how did you get in here
The Empress Dowager has issued a ban. Without her permission, no one is allowed to visit. She came here today, not only to greet the Empress Dowager, but also the Emperor!
Although there is not enough evidence to prove that the murderer is Han Yunxi, the emperor has also hinted several times that Han Yunxi is the most suspected, and if no evidence can be found, Han Yunxi can only be interrogated.
Because of Li's words before his death, the emperor has long regarded Han Yunxi and King Qin as thorns in his eyes. If he can't get rid of King Qin, at least he must kill Han Yunxi first.
The queen who calmed down immediately asked, "King Qin, without the queen mother's order, who would have allowed you to come in?"
Long Feiye asked coldly, "Queen, who allowed you to lynch to extract a confession and tortured you?"
As he said, he hugged Han Yunxi and took off the frying pan...
