LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 81 His legs were ruined
Ling Fengyang gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time before speaking in a hissing voice: "Marquis Zhongyong... I have a normal relationship with him, but I have heard a lot about him in the past three years."
Ji Yucang's voice was indifferent: "Nan Zhao had an eldest princess who was the god of war. I heard that she was the wife of Marquis Zhongyong. Is this eldest princess still leading the army?"
"No, she is no longer alive..." Ling Fengyang shook his head sluggishly, and suddenly his expression was startled. He couldn't help but think of Princess Pingyao, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes, "I and Princess Pingyao are an unmarried couple. She can't be with anyone else." When we get married, I want to see her, I want to see her..."
"The eldest princess Nan Zhao is no longer alive?"
"...Yes." Ling Fengyang's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and every word revealed extreme pain, "I want to see the eldest princess of Pingyao..."
Ji Yucang asked: "What was the cause of death?"
"Announced... to the outside world that he died of illness." Ling Fengyang took a deep breath, trembling hands, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "But... but insiders said that the princess... drank poisonous wine on the night of her wedding. Since that night After that, Nan Zhao...Nan Zhao lost the God of War Princess."
"Really?" Ji Yucang's voice was filled with cold air, "If we count it according to time, it was after you went to Nanzhao that the eldest princess of the God of War married Zhongyong Hou, and there was no news from then on. The next time I heard the news was her death... …Ling Fengyang, do you dare to say that you don’t know about this?”
Ling Fengyang was shocked. He didn't understand how Ji Yucang could be so well-informed about the news. He even didn't understand why he bothered to ask him more questions since he knew that the eldest princess, God of War, was dead.
Ling Fengyang was already suffering from severe pain and his brain was confused. Otherwise, with his usual sensitivity, he would have heard some unusual information from Ji Yucang's unusual words.
But at this moment, his head, which was so painful that he was dizzy, could only make him think of some superficial doubts - Ji Yucang was so well-informed that he knew the princesses of other countries in detail?
Ling Fengyang eagerly wanted to see the emperor.
Everything must be revealed after meeting the emperor, so he can't die yet, let alone become a cripple.
He could only cooperate as much as possible and answered Ji Yucang's question in a trembling voice: "The death of Princess Nanzhao is a good thing for the Yong Kingdom..."
Ji Yucang's eyebrows were cold: "Really?"
Ling Fengyang didn't notice the change in his expression. He gritted his teeth, sucked in his breath, and nodded stiffly: "The eldest princess has many elite soldiers and generals. They... they have strong combat capabilities. After the eldest princess died, the group was leaderless... Those elites were separated by the design of Zhongyong Hou. Destroy, kill..."
"Ling Fengyang, this is not what I want to hear." Ji Yucang narrowed her eyes and covered up the bloodthirsty luster in her eyes, "Did you play a role in the death of the eldest princess?"
Ling Fengyang subconsciously wanted to nod, but his senses finally came into play. He raised his head stiffly and looked at Ji Yucang with eyes blurred by cold sweat. His pupils shrank: "Prince Regent... what is this?" mean?"
"You entered Nanzhao as a military general, the eldest princess got married, and then died unexpectedly." Ji Yucang said in an indifferent voice, "This should not be a coincidence."
Ling Fengyang bit it, and a terrible thought finally emerged in her mind: "You... do you know the eldest princess?"
Ji Yucang did not answer this question, but just stared at him for a moment, with sinister and solemn eyes: "Ling Fengyang, what agreement did you sign with Emperor Nanzhao? You help him get rid of the eldest princess, and he will keep you safe in Nanzhao?"
Fear arose in Ling Fengyang's heart: "Regent...Prince Regent, who are you? How do you know the eldest princess?"
"Or is it that Emperor Nan Zhao wanted to get rid of the eldest princess and was worried about the security of the border, so he asked you to lead the troops to fight for him?" Ji Yucang's voice became colder and colder, as if he had been immersed in an ice cellar. "For no reason, why did Emperor Nan Zhao do this?" I trust you so much just because of the imperial edict?”
Ling Fengyang roared uncontrollably: "Who are you? What does it have to do with Nan Zhao? How could the regent of Yong know so clearly about Nan Zhao? You are not the regent of Yong at all. You are assuming a fake identity, right? Are you a spy who infiltrated the Yong Kingdom from Nan Zhao? Ji Yucang, you... you have no right to interrogate me, I want to see the emperor! "
Ji Yucang stood up and looked at him with a look that was as indifferent as an ant. He turned and left for a moment, leaving only a cold and ruthless order: "Break his legs."
As soon as he finished speaking, the jailer picked up the stick and hit him on the leg.
"Ah!" The shrill scream echoed in the prison, making people's hair stand on end.
Ji Yucang walked out of the cell with his hands behind his back, tall and steady.
Even if he stayed in a dirty and filthy place, he still exuded a noble and noble demeanor around him, making it impossible for people to associate him with the cold temperament that ruined a person's legs with just one word.
After coming out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Ji Yucang ordered Ling Feng to report a message to Princess Pingyao: "Tell Princess Pingyao that I have just tortured Ling Fengyang. If she cares about what Ling Fengyang said, there is no harm in telling her the truth."
"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."
Ji Yucang entered the Chonghua Palace and stepped into the emperor's palace as if he were in a deserted place.
Ji Jin was still sitting on the bed reading a book as usual. He had only been under house arrest for two days. He looked as normal as usual, not much decadent and desperate, nor did he give up on himself.
But Ji Yucang's arrival was obviously beyond his expectation.
Ji Jin's fingers holding the book tightened imperceptibly, her eyes slightly raised, a pair of black eyes staring closely at his noble features, her first words were: "Uncle Emperor, has he taken the antidote?"
Ji Yucang walked to sit next to him: "The emperor is so concerned about the antidote. What's wrong with the antidote?"
Ji Jin looked calm: "Uncle Huang should know whether there is any problem."
Ji Yu said calmly: "Today is the wedding in Pingyao, and an uninvited guest came to the eldest princess's mansion."
uninvited guest?
Ji Jin's eyes were attentive: "Who is the emperor uncle talking about?"
"Your Majesty, you can guess for yourself."
Ji Jin frowned, her heart suddenly jumped, and she instantly knew who the person he was talking about was.
"Where is he?"
"The prison of the Ministry of Punishment." Ji Yucang didn't hide anything, "I just ordered his legs to be broken."
Ji Jin's expression turned cold, and she suddenly stood up: "Uncle!"
