Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Why haven't you gotten a confession yet? What a waste!" As soon as he got closer, he heard the Prime Minister curse angrily.

"The Prime Minister doesn't know something. No matter how we torture him, this prince refuses to say a word. We have even broken two of these whips." The man complained incessantly, and his voice was very unfamiliar. He was probably someone from the prison. jailer.

Jiang Lianzhu was shocked. She didn't expect them to be so heavy-handed. It seemed that they wanted to beat Xue Yinqu into a move.

Jiang Lianzhu was secretly worried when she thought that Xue Yin had been unable to move in the past few years and his physical condition was not very good.

"This boy's bones are very hard. He has been tortured for three days and still refuses to give in." The Prime Minister smiled coldly, his voice was cold and gloomy, with a hint of cruelty, "Get a confession from him as soon as possible. If he still refuses to acknowledge him alive or dead, he can torture King Xiang and Princess Xiang if necessary, but I don't believe he can still be so tough when the whip falls on them."

Before he finished, he added: "Be careful when you strike. If he is about to die, hang him back. Don't let anyone die here. It will be difficult for the Emperor to explain to him."

There were footsteps on the other side. Jiang Lianzhu was slightly stunned and immediately touched the wall to go out, just in time to see a jailer strolling over.

"Hey, newcomer, what took you so long? The adults have urged me to come here to find you." The jailer's eyes fell on the food box in her hand, and he immediately asked after confirming her identity.

Because there was still a distance, Jiang Lianzhu was not worried about being discovered by the Prime Minister. She raised an embarrassed smile and walked forward quickly: "I'm sorry, brother, I just came here and I'm not familiar with it, so I wasted some time. "

"Hey, I wasn't as lazy as you when I first came here. I really don't know how you do things like this." The jailer shook his head, quite speechless.

Jiang Lianzhu smiled and saw that he was going downstairs, so she hurriedly said: "I just checked again and I guarantee that everything is done. Don't worry, brother."

Seeing her sworn look, the jailer said "tsk" and didn't want to mess around, so he turned around and followed her.

Because she was new here and he took money from her, although the prison boss thought she was slow in doing things and looked ugly, he didn't say anything and just said: "Remember to move faster in the future."

"Hey, my movements are slow and my brain is dull. Otherwise, I should find another way out." Jiang Lianzhu pretended to sigh in frustration, "Or I might as well not come tomorrow."

"It's okay, young man, you can always find a suitable way out." Upon hearing this, the cell leader showed a sincere smile and patted her on the shoulder.

He didn't want to cause trouble for himself by leaving such a grinding person to work under him. Just kidding.

Just now, he had heard from the imperial guards outside that this boy came in through his family's connections. The details were not yet clear, and it was hard to say anything unpleasant.And this guy, with his delicate skin and tender flesh, can only do odd jobs. Who can't do odd jobs?

The prison head raised his eyelids, showing a bit of disdain.

The two of them exchanged polite words, and finally felt relieved after sending the giant Buddha away.

When Jiang Lianzhu came out, the little eunuch was still waiting there: "Girl, are you leaving the palace now?"

"No rush, please take me to a place to change clothes first," she said.

The little eunuch didn't ask any questions and took her directly to a remote deserted courtyard. He also found a set of clothes for her to change into. Jiang Lianzhu gave him a piece of broken silver and sent him away first.

After changing her clothes, she turned back along the way she came and waited for another half an hour in the cold wind before seeing the prime minister come out.

Seeing the prime minister walking towards the main entrance of the palace, Jiang Lianzhu hurried back the way he came.

"Madam, are you going back now?" Because this place is remote and no one usually passes by, Yang Fei waited outside, leaning on the palace wall boredly.Seeing her come out, my heart relaxed.

"Go to the palace gate now and hurry up." Jiang Lianzhu got on the carriage directly, her tone urgent.

It will still take some time for the Prime Minister to walk from Tianlao to the palace gate. He should rush there now so that he can follow the Prime Minister later to see where he is going and whether he will meet anyone else.

Seeing her urgent tone, Yang Fei didn't bother to ask any more questions, and quickly got on the carriage and rushed to the palace gate.

When there was still some distance from the palace gate, Jiang Lianzhu asked Yang Fei to stop: "It's enough to get here. I have something else to do, so you can go back first."

Because the prime minister had started to take action recently, Yang Fei wanted to say something else, but Jiang Lianzhu's tone was firm, so he could only leave a sentence of "pay attention to safety" and then drove away.

Jiang Lianzhu walked not far from the palace gate and saw the prime minister coming out alone.She stood behind a tree and waited for the prime minister to walk by before following him calmly.

She followed the Prime Minister all the way and saw that the Prime Minister was walking on the road in an orderly manner. There was nothing unusual along the way, and she even walked all the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Are you going back directly?

Jiang Lianzhu was quite speechless. She stayed not far away for a while and saw that no one came in or out.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw a person walking not far away. She paused and shrank back.

The visitor smiled flatteringly at the guard at the door: "I am the son-in-law of your Miss Xiao. I have something to do with the Prime Minister now. Could you please be accommodating to me and let me in?"

The two guards looked at him with disdain and said with disdain: "Gungun, go back and forth wherever you come from. Don't come to our prime minister's house to have porcelain."

The Prime Minister had already ordered this person to be driven away immediately if he saw him, and yet he came here to meet relatives without peeing and taking care of himself!

"What's your attitude! I'm your future uncle. If you don't kneel down and kowtow to me today to apologize, your young lady will be more attractive to you when I marry!" Seeing their looks of disgust and disdain, Pang Hu also lost his temper. He held his neck and shouted loudly, "I have touched your young lady all over. Are you still thinking about climbing on someone else's high branch? You are such an unruly bitch, you have broken shoes!"

The expressions of the two guards changed greatly when he yelled. Fortunately, there was no one around and no one heard his words.

"Where is this crazy toad who wants to eat swan meat? Get out of here!" Since the Prime Minister had said that there was no need to be polite to him and had no intention of recognizing this toad, why should they be polite to him?

"Get out! Otherwise I'll beat you every time I see you!" Another guard said, stepping forward and kicking him.

Pang Hu was a lazy person, used to being greedy for petty gains, and had no real skills. Even when he became a palace guard, he could only do a few fake tricks.

After being kicked by him, he fell directly into the snow and couldn't get up for a while.

"Tsk, what a waste, you still have the nerve to think so wildly." When the guard saw this, he sneered coldly.
