Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 14 Choice
After Fu Mingjue arrived at Dali Temple, Gu Baiyan came out to greet him in person. Even though he was uneasy, he knew that with Fu Mingjue around, he would be able to pry Huang Xu's mouth open.

"My lord, this way please." Gu Baiyan led Fu Mingjue into the dark cell.

The cell was filled with a stench of decay, mixed with a faint smell of blood.

Most of the prisoners here were death row prisoners. They hadn't seen anyone for a long time. As soon as Fu Mingjue came in, they attracted everyone's attention.

They all speculated: Who is this expensively dressed young man walking in front of Gu Baiyan?

After arriving at the interrogation hall, the unkempt Huang Xu was escorted up and tied to a stake.

After seeing clearly that the person who came was Fu Mingjue, Huang Xu's drowsy mind instantly woke up: "Fu Fu Mingjue?"

After staying in Dali Temple for two days, he has never been afraid. It is just a death, but it is different in Fu Mingjue's hands.
The most vicious people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that life is worse than death.

Fu Mingjue sat there leisurely, with a row of weird instruments of torture in his hands, with a smile on his lips, but his dark eyes were very bright.

"I heard that your bones are very hard?" Fu Mingjue raised his brows slightly, "In all these years, this lord has never met someone with a really hard bone."

His smile made Huang Xu panic.

Rumor has it that King Jing killed his brother and mother with such vicious methods that he would not spare even a three-year-old child. He is an evil spirit that everyone fears to avoid!
"Go, plug his mouth." Fu Mingjue said to Jiang Liu, "Don't let him dirty my ears."

"Yes." Jiang Liu responded, took out a handkerchief and randomly stuffed it into Huang Xu's mouth.

Huang Xu's eyes widened, his face was full of horror, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet.

Fu Mingjue's slender fingers brushed across the cold torture instrument, and then picked up a silver needle about five inches long: "Use this first."

Jiang Liu took it expressionlessly, it was just an appetizer, and he had seen more cruel ones.

Huang Xu's eyes were red, and he sobbed silently, allowing the cold silver needles to pierce his skin and grind into his spine bit by bit.
Seeing this, Gu Baiyan silently moved his eyes away.

The rumors are true
An hour later, Huang Xu, who was completely unconscious, was dragged down, and the shackles on his feet were scratched and pulled on the ground, making harsh sounds.

The curious prisoners all poked their heads out, and were shocked when they saw the lifeless man with a mouth full of blood.

What kind of person would have his teeth pulled out?

In fact, Fu Mingjue didn't like to torture people. He knew that Huang Xu wanted to die, so he had to pull out his teeth in order to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

This is also for the sake of his life, isn't it?
Fu Mingjue wiped the blood spattered on his hands in disgust: "It stinks!"

Hearing this, Jiang Liu quickly poured a glass of water for him to wash his hands.

Gu Baiyan hadn't recovered from the scene just now. He had been serving as Minister of Dali Temple for many years, and he had never seen such a cruel scene.

Fearing that Huang Xu would die in pain, Fu Mingjue kindly poured him a bowl of ginseng soup.

Rumors are not as good as seeing, Gu Baiyan felt that the rumors were still modest.

After washing, Fu Mingjue handed the pleading paper signed by Huang Xu to Gu Baiyan: "Master Gu, I will leave the rest to you."

Gu Baiyan quickly took it over, and said respectfully: "I will definitely live up to my lord's expectations."

After sending away the great god Fu Mingjue, Gu Boyan immediately felt a lot more relaxed, and then he took the pleading paper and began to look closely.

After seeing the familiar name above, he suddenly raised his head: "How could it be him."

On this side, Fu Mingjue's carriage left Dali Temple and wandered towards the palace.

The carriages of the Prince's Mansion have always been eye-catching, and it's hard for others not to notice.

The incident about the teahouse the day before yesterday was widely circulated in the city, and no one knew who leaked the news, saying that the owner of the teahouse was arrested and taken into Dali Temple.

Now that King Jing's car is coming from Dali Temple, I can't help guessing again.

In the private room on the second floor of Zuixiao Building facing the street, two girls also noticed the carriage of the Wangfu.

"Jianing, the prince is married now, you should let it go." Su Lingxi persuaded softly.

When Xu Jianing heard this, his eyes were a little wet, and the hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly: "I have admired him since he was the seventh prince."

"It turned out that I just thought he couldn't let go of Ling Qingwei, and I wasn't too entangled, but he later married Ling Youyao."

Su Lingxi sighed: "I saw Princess Jing in the palace last time. I finally know why the prince married her."

Xu Jianing looked over: "Why?"

"Everyone knows that the brothers and sisters of the Ling family are twins, but I see that Mr. Ling is not like Miss Ling, but Concubine Jing is five points like Miss Ling."

Xu Jianing was stunned, and said in disbelief: "So...is that so?"

She is as good as Ling Youyao in terms of talent and appearance, but she can't figure out why Fu Mingjue doesn't even want to look at her. Now hearing what Su Lingxi said, she suddenly understands.

The person in Fu Mingjue's heart was always Ling Qingwei.

Fortunately, she was jealous of Ling Youyao before, but now that she thinks about it, Ling Youyao is the most pitiful one.

Su Lingxi looked at her words and expressions, pretending to be regretful and said: "I saw Princess Jing earlier, although she was smiling, but her brows and eyes were full of sadness, and she didn't want to marry into the palace."

"After all—everyone in the capital knows about her relationship with Shen Shizi."

Xu Jianing also remembered that a few months ago, Ding Guohou's son knelt in front of the palace gate, and he felt more sympathy for Ling Youyao in his heart.

"Forget it, it's useless to say these things now." Su Lingxi changed her voice and asked Xu Jianing, "What are your plans for the future?"

Xu Jianing made a bitter smile: "Your Majesty's order to order my father to guard Ningzhou has been issued. I will leave the capital in three days at most."

"So hasty?" Su Lingxi was surprised.

In fact, she knew that Xu Jianing would leave the capital sooner or later, and there was such a big fuss in King Jing's Mansion that everyone in the city saw the joke, and the Xu family's face had long been humiliated!
Even if they stay in Beijing, there are only two ends: either they are sent to be raised in Zhuangzi, or they have their hair twisted and become a sister-in-law.

Xu Jianing was pure-hearted, and only thought that Su Lingxi was caring about her: "My father said that he would find me a marriage in the northwest. After all, I won't be able to get married in Beijing."

Su Lingxi was secretly unwilling, why would Xu Jianing be able to start over if she changed places?

If you do such things that humiliate the lintel, you should be with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for a lifetime, and you will be laughed at by the world all your life!

She twisted her veil and couldn't bear to say: "Jianing, are you going to marry someone you don't love?"

Xu Jianing's expression changed, thinking of his father's words, he took a break and said, "But now, I have no choice but this road."

"Actually." Su Lingxi said hesitantly, "It's not that there is no other choice."
