Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Feng Qingluan went to the dungeon.

Before I got close, I heard a woman's heart-wrenching screams coming from the dungeon.

Ji Shu was tied to the rack and Jiang Qu was whipping her with a whip dipped in salt water.

Ji Shu's body was covered with wounds from the whip, like a bloody man. Her hateful eyes stared at Xie Jin like a snake or scorpion, and she cursed in pain and panting:

"Xie Jin, you bastard, it was Concubine Ru who ordered me to do this. Even if you beat me to death, it was still because of her orders, ah!"

Xie Jin sat on the chair opposite, calmly watching the woman in front of him scream in pain.

Feng Qingluan frowned and walked towards Xie Jin:

"Does she still insist that it was Concubine Ru who ordered it?"

Xie Jin said: "This person is stubborn and is determined not to reveal the real mastermind."

Jiang Qu has already used the third type of punishment. No prisoner has ever survived the first two types in his hands. This man will be difficult to interrogate.

Feng Qingluan said: "Is that so? I'll try. Jiang Qu, please pause for a moment."

Feng Qingluan walked towards Ji Shu. Ji Shu stared at her viciously like a bloodthirsty person. Feng Qingluan smiled faintly:

"The master you want to protect is planning to kill you and throw you away after he's done with you. Can you swallow this?"

Ji Shu's heart was slightly moved, but resentment replaced all her feelings, and she said hatefully:

"I was born a slave, and I am willing to die for my master!"

Feng Qingluan shook her head: "No one is born to be a slave. Prince Rong can give you a chance to live again. As long as you tell him who ordered you to do this, he can guarantee your life. From now on, you don't have to be a slave and live for yourself."

Ji Shu spat out a mouthful of blood foam, unmoved:

"Oh, don't try to fool me! I killed the current queen, and even if you reveal the mastermind behind it, you will still be sentenced to death.

And I've already said it was Concubine Ru who ordered it. You're forcing me to confess by torture, and you want me to tell you who you want me to testify against. Dream on!"

Negotiations were ineffective. It seemed that this person was determined to die in order to be loyal to the person behind her. Feng Qingluan spread her hands:

"Well, everyone has their own aspirations. Since you have made your choice, continue to bear the pain."

She pinched Ji Shu's mouth and threw a pill into her mouth.

Ji Shu was forced to swallow:

"You're going to poison me to death if you can't get the result you want from me? Despicable!"

Feng Qingluan raised her finger cunningly and shook it:

"Poison you to death? Not really. You are a mortal. No matter how much you can endure, the pain of being whipped must be very torturous.

The pills I feed you won't kill you, they will just amplify your pain tenfold. How long can you endure it?"

She picked up a rag and covered Ji Shu's mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue to commit suicide out of extreme pain, and said to Jiang Qu:

"I'll have someone make a bowl of ginseng soup later. If she's dying, feed it to her. Keep her alive and continue the fight!"

Jiang Qu shuddered.

As expected of Miss Feng, she amplified the pain tenfold and even used ginseng soup to keep her alive. This was to make this woman wish she could neither live nor die.

It sounds very exciting. Jiang Qu nodded heavily:

"Yes, ma'am."

I believe that no matter how tough Ji Shu is, she won’t be able to hold out for long under this method!

Jiang Qu excitedly whipped Ji Shu again!

The pill Ji Shu took melted in her mouth as the drug took effect in her body. She clearly felt the severe pain from Jiang Qu's whip. This single blow made her clothes, which were already soaked with cold sweat, break out in cold sweat again. She couldn't even scream and almost fainted from the pain.

Feng Qingluan ignored her and walked back to Xie Jin.

"I have something to tell you."

The two came outside the dungeon.

Feng Qingluan told Xie Jin what Ru Fei had just told her.

"The person who has always wanted to kill me is Xiang Fei. She used the love of King Jing to pull him into the vortex and made him attack me. What is Xiang Fei's origin?"

Xiang Fei tried her best to kill her, but in Feng Qingluan's memory, she had never offended this person.

Xie Jin had already thought about this problem.

"I have ordered An Feng to investigate. There will be results tonight."

When it was discovered that Ji Shu was the murderer of the Queen, Xie Jin ordered An Feng to investigate the true origins of Concubine Xiang.

This person deceived the Emperor and Prince Jing, killed the Queen, targeted Concubine Ru, and now has Feng Qingluan involved. His targets are very wide.

He felt that the other party was not coming for Feng Qingluan alone, and she must be hiding a huge conspiracy.

He had to pay attention to it.

Feng Qingluan said: "This person is full of tricks, we have to be on guard. By the way, Concubine Ru ran into Concubine Xiang and King Jing colluding and was hunted by them. To prevent Concubine Ru from being persecuted, I gave her Dark Night and asked him to temporarily protect Concubine Ru and Zhaoyang."

Xie Jin said: "Well, I will let him follow you after An Feng comes back."

Feng Qingluan nodded: "Ji Shu will testify against Xiang Fei. She won't last long under the effect of that pill. Now we have new evidence to deal with Xiang Fei and King Jing."

Xie Jin asked: "What do you want to do?"

Feng Qingluan said, "Xiang Fei is a concubine mother, and Prince Jing is a prince. Concubine Ru did not inform Emperor Xia Ming of this discovery first but came to me because she knew that if the emperor had not seen the affair between the two with his own eyes, he would not believe it. So I wanted Emperor Xia Ming to see the secret between Xiang Fei and Prince Jing with his own eyes."

Upon learning that her own son had cuckolded her, Ji Shu testified that it was Xiang Fei who killed the Queen. Xiang Fei's guilt was set in stone, and no matter how obsessed Emperor Xia Ming was with her, she could not escape punishment.

Xie Jin said: “You say.”

Feng Qingluan was about to express her thoughts when a guard came running over to report:

"Your Highness Prince Rong, something terrible has happened. The people from the patrol camp have come to inform us that the Minister of Personnel, Mr. Xue, was stabbed in the street and is seriously injured. Please ask Miss Feng to go over and save Mr. Xue's life."

The Minister of Personnel was assassinated in the street?

This is the highest civil servant in Daxia and also serves as prime minister.

At this juncture?

Feng Qingluan and Xie Jin looked at each other, and Xie Jin called Jiang Qu:

"Someone might try to silence Ji Shu. Send more soldiers to guard the place. Don't let even a fly in!"

Jiang Qu responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After giving this instruction, Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan quickly rushed to Zhoubao Street where Xue Ming had the accident.

There had been a fight on this street and the ground was in chaos.

A broken carriage was scattered in the middle of the street, and injured people were shouting on both sides of the street.

The soldiers took Xie Jin and Feng Qingluan into an alley. Xue Ming was in a room on one side of the alley.

Xue Ming was stabbed in the abdomen, his clothes were soaked in blood, he had fallen into a coma, his face was pale, and his condition looked very critical.

Feng Qingluan checked his condition and said to Xie Jin:

"He needs a blood transfusion."

Xie Jin frowned: "Go into the house."

Feng Qingluan asked someone to send Xue Ming into the room.

Xue Ming was the head of the six ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and he was assassinated in the street. This is not something that everyone dares to do.

Xie Jin said sternly: "Call Wang Lie!"

The patrol battalion commander, Wang Lie, came up to Xie Jin with a serious face.

"what happened?"

Wang Lie said: "Your Highness, Lord Xue and his colleagues had an appointment to appraise paintings today. After they separated, they were assassinated by a group of masked men on the way back to Xue's mansion. The guards of Xue's mansion fought desperately.

It happened that a group of soldiers patrolling the streets saw the fighting here and rushed over immediately, but it was too late and Lord Xue was still seriously injured. "

"Has the assassin been caught?"

Wang Lie said: "The assassins were very skilled in martial arts. Two of them were killed, and the others escaped. I have sent people to hunt them down."

Xie Jin said: "Bring the body here."

The bodies of the two assassins were carried into the yard. Xie Jin carefully examined their features and frowned.

These are actually people from Karen Country...

Just as he was about to check carefully, another soldier rushed in with a panicked look:

"Your Highness Prince Rong, something happened again! A fire broke out in Zuixian Tower, and many people were trapped. Prince Zhenbei was among them. They are trying their best to put out the fire, and there are countless casualties."

Xie Jin's eyes became fierce and he immediately led his men to rush over.
