A quiet night, drink the wine cup alone, no one is with you.
Gu Yu had been waiting anxiously outside the Tingyu Building all night, but he didn't know that in this seemingly peaceful night, there was a storm in the dark, and there was no peace for a moment.
In the dungeon of Haoyue Prince's Mansion, Canglong Haoyue had already stayed in it for a whole night. This night, he wished he could take out the hearts of those two people and dig them out to see where they hid the treasure map
Suddenly, a servant in the dungeon came to report: "Prince Haoyue, those two criminals have been tortured countless times, but they just refused to confess. After tossing all night, they have passed out several times."
"Snapped!"
Canglong Haoyue slapped the tables and chairs angrily: "Then let this king take good care of you, don't let them die! Their good days are yet to come!"
"Yes! This subordinate knows!" The boy didn't dare to raise his head, but obeyed. In his opinion, if the master doesn't give him a good face, he will definitely let the prisoner live or die.
In ancient times, Ling Chi was executed as an extremely severe punishment, and his punishment at Haoyue Palace was no less painful than Ling Chi's execution.
They cut off the flesh and blood of the prisoner, and after a few knives, they punished him by burning him at the stake. After a short while, they dug his flesh and bones deeply at the place where the prisoner was cut, making him feel so painful that he couldn't bear the pain, but he couldn't die. Really let them survive but not die!
After Canglong Haoyue rushed out of the dungeon angrily, an extremely sinister and cruel smile appeared in the eyes of the person guarding the dungeon.
In Haoyue Palace, Murongli waited restlessly all night.
"My lord, what's the situation?" Murong Li was very anxious when he saw Canglong Shuntian.
"Hmph!" He flicked his cuffs ruthlessly, and hurriedly sat down on the noble desk and chair.
On the contrary, he did not answer but asked coldly: "By the way, is your news reliable and accurate? The two of them are the guardians of the former emperor, and they are the ones who guard the treasure?"

Murong Li's tone was firm: "My lord's news is naturally true. This old minister has an old friend who knows the world's news and can grasp information that others cannot control. This has been proved by the old minister's spreading of treasure maps everywhere. Your lord should trust this old minister." yes?"
Canglong Haoyue still had doubts on his face: "But the world is so big, there are so many people meeting secretly, how can you be sure that they are the traitors we want to catch?"
Murongli replied respectfully: "The old minister's old friends have innumerable forces under their command, and they penetrate into every corner. Don't you know the truth if you inquire about such information? Unless the old minister's old friends intend to betray the old minister. There is nothing in the world that the prince cannot know! As long as he wants to know , will naturally know!"
Canglong Haoyue smiled coldly: "Okay, Master Murong has someone who can use him, so what else can't be counted on? Tell me, how much work does your old friend do in this King's Haoyue Palace?"
Murong Li was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat, and quickly knelt down on the ground: "My lord, how dare the old minister? Even if I borrow ten courage from the old minister, the old minister will not dare! But the old ministers of King Xiang's House and King Hui's House have arranged some people..."
Canglong Haoyue picked up the tea table on the table and took a sip: "Old fox! I just don't know how many people are still plotting against you?"
Murong Li's head was pressed even lower: "Your Highness Haoyue has learned from you, this veteran treats you loyally and will never have any second thoughts."
He smiled involuntarily: "Master Murong is worrying too much, this king is just testing it out privately, please ask Master Murong, Xiu Jie, give me a seat."
Murong Li managed to wipe off his sweat, and said flatteringly: "Prince Haoyue, those two people were tortured overnight and did not confess. Apart from ignorance, they are dead soldiers. They have to be monitored day and night, and they cannot be allowed to have any self-esteem. The opportunity to stop, otherwise, if you want to catch them, you really don't know how long you will have to wait!"
When Canglong Haoyue heard this, after pondering for a while, he gestured to Xiu Jie behind Murong Li, and Xiu Jie took his orders and left.
"Lord Murong is really thoughtful, this king has to admire!" Cang Long Haoyue said, scolding the old fox in his heart, no wonder his father would always regard him as his confidant, if not, he, Canglong Haoyue, would not be like this wait for him.
…
The sun was in the sky, so Canglong woke up belatedly. After drinking the sober tea, he still felt depressed.
"My lord, those who arrested yesterday were first taken to the clan's mansion, and then they were secretly taken to the dungeon of the Haoyue palace at dusk."
He wondered: "Isn't this very eye-catching? Then, wouldn't it be too ostentatious for the two living people to go to Haoyue Palace in a torture cart?"
"It's not such a prince, but the Haoyue prince is very shrewd. They were carried to the Haoyue palace in sedan chairs. If the subordinates had not arranged people in the cell of the clan mansion in advance, they would definitely not be able to detect it."
Canglong Shuntian patted his drowsy head: "He has his shrewdness, and you have your flexibility. After all, he still couldn't escape our eyes. Thinking about what Cheng Xue said so far, it's really interesting. So that makes sense."
Gu Yu secretly smiled: "My lord, what did Miss Chengxue say? Your subordinates also said a few things, why doesn't your lord remember?"
"You!" Canglong Shuntian knocked him helplessly, "Now is the time when the crown prince is being established, the second elder brother is undoubtedly so careful to avoid the sight of others, including me naturally, although the emperor allowed me to join him. If you are looking for treasure, you have to stand on the opposite side of them and look for it in secret, otherwise the first one to suffer is this king! In the past three months, this king will not allow anyone to invade!"
Gu Yu suddenly felt serious: "My lord must cherish himself!"
He smiled softly, with an evil charm and an unpredictable smile: "Gu Yu, only we know such great news. It's a pity. Go to Prince Hui's mansion and loosen their ears. The ears are too clean. Wang looks uncomfortable."
When Gu Yu heard this, he smiled knowingly: "My lord is very cunning!"
And he tidied up his clothes leisurely: "That's natural, he's a disaster for this king, how could he just let him go so easily?"
"Yes! This subordinate will definitely let the people who hide deep in Prince Hui's mansion speak well about him, so don't worry about it, my lord."
Canglong Shuntian took the belt from Gu Yu's hand smoothly: "I don't worry about it, you go first and let others take care of you. I have worked hard for you during this time!"
"yes!"
As soon as Gu Yu left, Bi Lu, Cheng Xue's personal maid, came in with a basin of washing water, a little timidly: "My lord..."
Before he finished speaking, Canglong Shuntian interrupted him: "Why are you?"
Bi Lu pressed her head even lower: "Miss, miss, she buries herself in the house all day long, neither talking nor eating, staring at the roof in a daze all day..."
Before she finished speaking again, a gust of wind blew by, and when Bi Lu raised her head, the figure had already disappeared. Inexplicably, inexplicably, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. After all, he still didn't look at her directly. She dressed up a lot today, wearing his favorite peony on her head...
