After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back

Yao Wenhong then raised his eyes and when he saw the tall figure in front of him, his face, which was twisted with pain, instantly turned dark.

"Prince Yan, what are you doing?" His feet were burned and hurt, so he said very unhappily.

Prince Yan was the first one who dared to take action in the Dali Temple. Later, he would definitely report him to the emperor.

What's more, he actually sneaked back from the West Sea. He was so derelict in his duty that he should be punished.

His plan was successful as it caused the King of Yan to flee from the battlefield.

Xiao Hanye didn't reply, nor did he even glance at him. Instead, he stared at Chu Nanyue without blinking, with a hint of anger in his red eyes.

"Stupid woman, you are such a worry. What if this branding iron burns you?" Then, he glanced at the extremely embarrassed Chu Ziyu and said quietly, "Your elder brother is already in this state, and this branding iron won't hurt him. Why are you blocking it? If he wants to show off, let him take it!"

Chu Ziyu raised his eyes:!!!

The corner of Su Xi's mouth twitched:!!!

Chu Nanyue was slightly moved one second ago, but it was gone the next second. So if they are not your family, you won’t feel sorry for them. Then why did you come back from so far away?

Cynical? Laugh at her?

She brushed away his hand that was still on her waist in annoyance: "Brother's body is already full of holes and can't stand any more torture."

Xiao Hanye saw the faint disdain and deep heartache on Chu Nanyue's face, and he snorted coldly.

Why is it different from what he thought?

When Chu Nanyue saw him, shouldn't she first throw herself into his arms and cry her heart out, and then beg him to find a way to save her elder brother?

Was he disliked by her again?

He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Untie me!"

Yao Wenhong widened her eyes in surprise and said in disbelief, "Prince Yan...what did you say?"

Xiao Hanye looked at Yao Wenhong deeply, and could not help but emphasize his tone: "I said to untie Chu Ziyu, didn't you hear what the princess said? His body can no longer withstand any more torture. If he dies under your torture with ulterior motives and dies in the Dali Temple, I am afraid that Lord Yao will also be blamed by then, right?"

Yao Wenhong shook his head in disapproval, "Prince Yan, be careful what you say. What do you mean by ulterior motives? I enforce the law impartially and treat all prisoners equally. If Chu Ziyu hadn't been such a stubborn person and refused to confess, why would I not go home to be with my family on New Year's Eve and be busy here? I have no choice but to solve the case!"

After hearing this, Xiao Hanye smiled faintly: "In that case, I did not use the right words. However, I would like to ask Master Yao, Chu Ziyu was only arrested last night, why did you torture him without any interrogation? You even tortured him in front of the princess today, what is your purpose?"

Yao Wenhong felt guilty because Xiao Hanye saw through his intentions at a glance, but he had achieved his goal and didn't want to punish Chu Ziyu. So, he made a concession at the right time: "King Yan, please don't frame me. I have already interrogated Chu Ziyu, but I used some extraordinary means because he didn't cooperate. Since King Yan pleaded for him, let him take a break today."

"Someone, release Chu Ziyu back to the cell and retry him tomorrow!"

Chu Nanyue looked at Chu Ziyu and counted secretly in her heart.

......

Just as the jailer's hand touched Chu Ziyu's body, Chu Ziyu suddenly twitched violently, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. His remaining breath seemed to be suddenly sucked away, and his tense body loosened powerlessly. He looked at Chu Nanyue in horror and said incoherently: "...Ayue..."

He has a lot to tell his sister.

He wanted his sister to redress his father's grievances and not to spend the rest of her life as the Princess of Yan, the daughter of a criminal.

He asked his sister to hide her brother well.

He has too many reluctances...

But he couldn't say a word, he slowly lowered his eyes with endless regret...

"Big brother!"

"Master!"

Chu Nanyue and Su Xi shouted in horror at the same time, wanting to run to Chu Ziyu's side as soon as possible, but were coldly shouted at by Yao Wenhong instead.

"Splash him awake!"

He had seen too many scenes like this, and Chu Ziyu had been knocked unconscious by him once last night, so he was used to it.

"Do you still have a heart?" Su Xi roared.

Xiao Hanye raised his hand to knock the jailer away, but was grabbed by Chu Nanyue's hand instead. She winked at him secretly.

Xiao Hanye narrowed his eyes. Well, he really had worried for nothing. The other party had already prepared a backup plan. No wonder his eyes were full of disgust.

He originally sent Fengchuan back, but in the end he came back on his own for some unknown reason.

Of course, Chu Nanyue didn't really dislike him.

At the very least, he bought her some time and gave her the confidence to deal with everything that happened next.

She spent the whole night researching the Life-worrying Pill, which would make people appear to be on the verge of death once taken.

However, due to time constraints, it is not perfect. For example, it takes an incense stick of time for the effect to take effect after taking it.

Originally, she was going to cooperate with Xiao Yihang in all this.

As a result, Xiao Yihang was unable to extricate himself, so she could only take the risk and do it herself.

She first took advantage of the opportunity to confess to Yao Wenhong to get close to Chu Ziyu, and then she tricked them into believing that Xiao Hanye had returned, and stuffed the pill into Chu Ziyu's mouth at lightning speed.

But she didn't expect Xiao Hanye to really come back.

He appeared in time to save her when the branding iron was about to fall on her back, and even bought her an incense stick of time.

Now Chu Ziyu's illness has relapsed. Although there is no way to rescue him from the Dali Temple for the time being, at least he will not be tortured anymore.

But he still had to endure the cold water punishment.

Only after enduring this final punishment would Yao Wenhong truly believe that he was doomed.

She did not tell Su Xi about this, because the fewer people who knew about it, the less risk there would be.

People's true reactions are the most real.

Look, Su Xi is still trying her best to obstruct the jailer.

Finally, it was Xiao Hanye who spoke in a cold voice: "If you can't wake him up by throwing water on him, I will take him away. This happened in your Dali Temple, so you can't escape the blame!"

Hearing this, Su Xi withdrew his hand.

A ladle of freezing water mixed with salt and pepper was poured directly onto Chu Ziyu's pale handsome face, but he had no reaction.

He had already fallen into a deep sleep and his brain had temporarily stopped working.

Yao Wenhong frowned slightly and gritted her teeth and said, "Splash again!"

Xiao Hanye waved his hand and said sternly: "That's enough, untie him immediately, I want to take him away!"

Yao Wenhong was shocked by his coldness for a moment. He swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm and said, "During the interrogation stage, it is inevitable that the prisoner will have some accidents. Prince Yan has no right to take him away. I will send a doctor to treat him!"

After saying this, he raised his hand and said, "Send a doctor quickly!"

Xiao Hanye refused coldly: "I want to take him away, do you think you can stop me?"

As soon as the voice fell, more than a dozen black-clad guards rushed over. Ignoring the stunned jailer, they directly took Chu Ziyu off the torture bench.

Without the restraints of the chains, Chu Ziyu's body suddenly fell limply to the ground.

The guards carefully placed him on the stretcher and stood behind Xiao Hanye.

Yao Wenhong stepped forward and said, "Does Prince Yan know what he is doing? You are trying to break out of prison. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will punish you?"

Xiao Hanye shook his head and chuckled, "What a coincidence, I am about to go to the palace to see my father, Lord Yao, why don't you come with us?"

This was exactly what Yao Wenhong wanted. Chu Ziyu was just seriously injured and there was nothing wrong with him. But Xiao Hanye was different. He first fled from the battlefield and then openly took the criminal away from the Dali Temple. This was a challenge to the imperial power and the emperor would definitely punish him severely.

It would be best to take away his military power, give him fifty lashes of the cane, and let him reflect on his mistakes facing the wall in Prince Yan's mansion!
