Ye Hui walked up to Lu Ziyan, bowed to him respectfully, and was about to take his pulse, but was grabbed by the wrist by the woman standing in front of Lu Ziyan.

"Your Highness the Queen..."

Ye Hui looked at Li Yuanzhen with an innocent face, while Li Yuanzhen looked at Ye Hui with a complicated expression.

She didn't know this person, but the way she crushed the Jie Bai You pill just now surprised her. You know, Jie Bai You is not an ordinary pill, it's not something that can be crushed with just one crush.

She only heard that there was a person in the dark market who could use this method. Could it be this person? But how could such a lonely and ruthless person become Ji Zhen's medical officer?

Absolutely impossible!

Li Yuanzhen immediately rejected his idea, but tonight Lu Ziyan did not go back as agreed, but appeared in the dungeon of the Prince's Mansion. Not only Lu Ziyan, but also the man tied to the rack.

All this was beyond Li Yuanzhen's control. She had clearly already placed spies in the Prince's Mansion, so why did she lose control?

But at this moment, Lu Ziyan's years of worries broke out again!

Li Yuanzhen's eyes darkened, and her hand secretly touched the back of Lu Ziyan's neck. Suddenly, she exerted force, and Ji Zhen, who noticed something was wrong, didn't even have time to stop her, and Lu Ziyan fell into her arms.

Oh my god! Did Li Yuanzhen kill Lu Ziyan in front of her?

Ji Zhen's heart skipped a beat and she rushed to Lu Ziyan in two steps, only to find that his chest was still rising and falling slightly. Then she realized that Li Yuanzhen had strangled Lu Ziyan to death.

Was it just to prevent Ye Hui from seeing his wound? Or was it for something else?

While Ji Zhen was thinking, Li Yuanzhen had already handed the unconscious Lu Ziyan to the female official beside him, straightened his clothes, and said to Ji Zhen with a normal expression:

"It's so stuffy here, my wife has a hard time adapting. Could you please ask Prince Qingyan to send someone to take my wife back to the East Palace?"

Ji Zhen raised his eyebrows and sneered in his heart:

Well, before you just asked me to release him, but now you want me to send him back to the East Palace? Who are you looking down on? I told you that he was involved in the case, didn't you hear anything?

After a lot of crazy complaints in his heart, Ji Zhen bowed respectfully and said to Li Yuanzhen:

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I have said that this case is very serious. I am afraid that Master Lu cannot be sent back yet."

"cannot?"

Li Yuanzhen suddenly stood up, his gloomy eyes swept across Ji Zhen's face like a knife, picked up the teacup at hand, and poured it into the brazier where the "Jie Bai You" was burning.

blah-

The fire in the brazier, along with the burning "Jie Bai You" (a medicine for relieving all worries), were soaked through.

"My wife doesn't like the taste. Since we can't send it back to the East Palace now, we have to do this. Thank you, Prince Qingyan."

Li Yuanzhen put the empty teacup back on the table and looked at Ji Zhen deeply. Ji Zhen's purpose of burning incense was to verify whether Lu Ziyan had taken Sui Sui You. Now that the purpose has been achieved, she naturally no longer insists.

She called the guards and asked them to take down the brazier that was spilled with tea and replace it with a new one. She also thoughtfully asked someone to bring a small couch and put the unconscious Lu Ziyan on it, so that he looked like he was asleep.

The crackling fire pot released a pleasant smell of pine resin, which refreshed people. However, this was limited to Ji Zhen. The death warrior from Li Yuanying's mansion who was guarded by the guards on the other side of the door was not so energetic.

He had already taken effect of the poison, and Ji Zhen did not give him the antidote, so he endured it, fainted several times, and was woken up by cold water. Until just now, Ye Hui ignited the "Jie Bai You" and the pain in his body was slightly relieved. But it was only for a moment,

Now, Jie Baiyou was extinguished by Li Yuanzhen. His pain was magnified ten times more than before he smelled "Jie Baiyou". He suddenly screamed in unbearable pain.

When Li Yuanying heard his voice, she was so frightened that she couldn't even hold the teacup in her hand. Li Yuanzhen looked at her coldly and cursed:

"useless."

Then he frowned and asked Ji Zhen:

"I said I was here to try a case. You've done all these things, but you can't even control a prisoner? You're letting him cry and scream here? How shameful!"

Ji Zhen raised her eyebrows and thought: Your Highness, did you go to the dungeon without your brain today? That man, I never said from beginning to end whether he was a prisoner or a witness, how did you know he was a prisoner?

Unless, you know him.

Ji Zhen laughed and said yes repeatedly, and asked the guards to drag the man to the execution hall. They took a rope and tied him up tightly.

When the Sui Sui worry poison strikes, there are two obvious symptoms: one is photophobia, and the other is chills.

The bulbous-nosed man was dragged over and huddled near the brazier. Although it was warmer, the suddenly brighter light stimulated his nerves, making him like a fish thrown on the shore. He closed his eyes and struggled desperately. But this struggle pulled the ropes that bound him, making his already magnified pain even more intense. He was in agony, as if he was being tortured to death.

He tried to open his swollen eyes, and dazedly glanced at the three people sitting at the table. Suddenly, he became ruthless:

"Kill me! Kill me! I won't live any longer!"

The man screamed and struggled to the point of ramming himself against the brazier. Fortunately, the guards were quick to grab him and two of them pinned him to the ground.

Ji Zhen glanced at Li Yuanying. Her face, which had turned pale with nervousness just now, suddenly relaxed. She even picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly. Then she shook her head and said to Ji Zhen:

"Qingyan, you can't do this. How can you be in charge of the prison? Is this how you try people in the northwest? How can you save your dignity by letting them roar in the prison hall?"

Ji Zhen sneered in his heart: Are you looking at me as a fool? Do you think I didn't hear him expressing his loyalty to you? Didn't I hear him telling you that he was determined to die and would not expose you?

Ji Zhen smiled and shook her head. Today, she was not going to expose Li Yuanying at all. The role of the bulbous-nosed man here was not to confess. He was just a tool to make the other man speak, a cane to knock on the other person's psychological defenses.

Ji Zhen stood up with a smile, nodded to Li Yuanying, and said in agreement:

"Your Highness Xian Yao is right. It would be my fault if I just let him roar in the Punishment Hall."

After that, she walked to the garlic-nosed man, raised his head with her left index finger, and said with a faint smile:

"Anyway, you've said everything you need to say, and confessed everything you need to confess. If you keep this mouth open and can only roar in the court of execution, it's better not to keep it open."

There was a click, and the man's jaw was removed by Ji Zhen, and his saliva flowed to the ground.

Li Yuanying's pupils shrank. Confessed? Confessed what?
