Chapter 150 The War King is trapped in a cage
At this time, the young eunuch shouted outside the door: "The Queen is here, Princess Zhan is here."
The two people Leng Aotian least wanted to see at this moment were these two.
He kept muttering to himself: Why hasn't Qin Wuyi come back yet?
The Queen and Ye Qingyan walked in and knelt down: "Your Majesty!"
"My son has met my father!"
Emperor Xuancheng said with a cold face: "Get up, Empress, why did you come to my imperial study instead of staying in Fengning Palace?"
The Queen raised a faint but steady smile at the corner of her lips, and her voice was gentle and soft: "Your Majesty, Xiao Qi gave me a solar heater. I thought it was very good, so I thought of giving it to you."
The Queen looked at a box on the ground with some old clothes inside and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, why are such tattered things still lying here? Don't pollute your eyes."
The emperor hesitated, "Yes, it was sent by Lord Li."
The queen glanced at Ye Qingyan, and they both understood.
Qin Wuyi waited until the queen entered the imperial study before he came out.
He said to Xiao Xizi, who was always disobedient, "Xiao Xizi, I have something urgent to do. Here are the two dragon robes that the emperor wants. Please take them in."
The emperor has been worried about Qin Wuyi coming in, and what he feared came true.
Xiao Xizi walked in and said, "Your Majesty, these are the two dragon robes you requested."
The emperor's face suddenly changed color, and he angrily scolded: "When did I say I wanted a dragon robe? Last time I said I would wait and make two more dragon robes."
Seeing that something was wrong, Xiao Xizi hurriedly explained, "I misheard."
"Come here, drag him out and behead him!" the emperor said angrily.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!" Xiao Xizi kept begging.
Two guards came in and took him out directly.
Xiao Xizi never knew why the emperor wanted to kill him until his death.
Ye Qingyan knew very well that the emperor wanted to exchange the two old clothes for dragon robes and torture Leng Jiuyuan to death. Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
Ye Qingyan asked, "Father, where is our prince?"
The emperor's face turned pale and blue. "He openly defied me, so I locked him up in the Ministry of Punishment and told him to reflect on his mistakes."
The Queen hurried to smooth things over, "Your Majesty, you don't understand Lao Jiu yet. He will stick to his ways until the end.
After all, they are father and son, so don't make the relationship too stiff and hurt their feelings.
If he makes any mistakes, it's all my fault.
Poor old ninth child, he was stolen away by the virtuous concubine when he was young, and I have neglected to discipline him.
If Your Majesty is still angry, please punish me." The Queen knelt down after saying this.
Leng Aotian sighed deeply, all the good things were ruined by the Queen.
"Queen, please get up. Princess Nine, go to the prison and get Old Nine out."
"Yes, Father!
Father, the prince has been fighting on the battlefield and his body is covered with wounds.
I beg you, Father, to grant me permission to allow him to be a free and easy prince without attending court."
Leng Aotian listened and thought: If I let you go free, how can I control you?
I won't know what you're doing behind my back, so it's better to keep it under my nose and feel at ease.
He thought for a moment and said, "You're too young to travel around. You should stay in the capital. You don't have to attend court."
Ye Qingyan understood: the emperor was still worried about Jiuyuan, so he didn't allow him to leave the capital.
She knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I thank you on behalf of your Highness."
Ye Qingyan understood that the emperor wanted to kill Jiuyuan, but he just didn't have a suitable reason.
I finally found an excuse, but it was ruined by the queen.
Such an emperor should have died, but for the sake of the people of the world, he cannot be killed for the time being.
If the emperor of a country dies, the morale of the army will be unstable, the enemy country will invade, and bloody storms will break out again.
He continued to be ill, which was reassuring.
The Queen and Ye Qingyan both bowed and said, "I'll take my leave!"
"My son, please retire!"
After leaving the imperial study, Ye Qingyan said, "Mother, I'm going to bring the prince back."
Chu Linlang smiled and said, "Being born in an imperial family brings many difficulties. I am relieved that Old Nine has a good princess like you."
Ye Qingyan went directly to the Ministry of Punishment of the Imperial Household Department.
In a cell, the iron-willed Leng Jiuyuan was tied to a big pillar.
A burly man was holding a long and thick whip in his hand, preparing to torture someone.
He taunted, "Zhan Wang, I never thought you would end up like this, falling into the hands of Jin Buer. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Leng Jiuyuan exuded a chill as he angrily shouted, "I shouldn't have let you go in the first place. You're just like your father, an ungrateful person who can never be tamed."
"Leng Jiuyuan, it's too late to regret now. You've already fallen into the hands of a villain like me. Even if I beat you to a pulp, the emperor wouldn't say anything.
This is the Ministry of Punishment. Everyone who goes out here is covered in wounds. Has the emperor ever blamed us?
Now that you're here, you have to admit it. Whether it's unfair or not is up to the Emperor to decide."
There was a vicious look in Jin Buer's eyes. He gathered all his strength and swung the whip hard on Zhan Wang, as if he wanted to kill him.
With a "snap" sound, the whip hit Leng Fayuan's body, and he groaned.
A long cut was directly torn in the green python robe, and one could vaguely see the flesh was torn and blood was flowing out immediately.
Then there were several more "crackling" sounds, and each whip sounded like a heavy hammer hitting everything around.
The pain instantly ran through Leng Jiuyuan's body like an electric current, causing him to tremble involuntarily.
Where the whip landed, one first felt a burning sting, followed by a sharp pain as if the skin was torn, as if millions of needles were piercing the flesh at the same time.
Cold sweat streamed down my body, blurring my vision.
He clenched his teeth, and every breath seemed to pull at the wound, almost suffocating him.
The scars on his body looked particularly hideous, like twisted snakes entwined around his body.
The moment Ye Qingyan came in, she saw Leng Jiuyuan covered in scars, his eyes bloodshot and murderous aura emanating from his body.
She casually took out a fan and fanned Jin Buer hard.
"what!"
With a scream, Jin Buer's body was cut into several pieces and he died.
The chief steward of the Ministry of Punishment was terrified, thinking that Jin Buer was going to torture him to death.
He hurried forward and tried to untie Leng Jiuyuan's rope.
Ye Qingyan said sternly, "Manager Feng, you are so bold! The Emperor didn't say anything, yet you took the initiative to torture the War King like this."
Chief Steward Feng knew he had gotten into trouble, and he quickly explained, "Princess, please spare me. I was careless and allowed Jin Bu'er to take action. I am guilty."
Ye Qingyan said coldly: "Your negligence has caused our prince to suffer. We will slowly settle this account."
Ye Qingyan stepped forward to untie Leng Jiuyuan's rope. Seeing that he was covered in blood, her tears immediately flowed.
The War King comforted him, "It's okay, this injury is nothing."
Ye Qingyan quickly took out some painkillers and hemostatic pills and asked him to take them.
"Come on, Jiuyuan, let's settle accounts with the emperor. If he doesn't show sincerity, this matter will not end."
