After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 602 Great pleasure
"Uh-"

The King of Qi let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The already eerie cell became even more terrifying, and the bloody smell in the cell was suddenly accompanied by a burnt smell.

Prince Rui and the four jailers who were guarding him did not have time to react at all. They were all stunned by the overly cruel scene happening before their eyes.

What is purgatory?

He belongs to Yama.

There was no more playfulness on Lu Yuan's smiling face. Instead, there was a strong murderous aura and a chill that penetrated the bones.

The King of Qi was in so much pain that he struggled desperately.

Lu Yuan grabbed him and said coldly, "Does it hurt now? Fourth uncle, it's not enough. Since you like soldering iron so much, as your nephew, of course I have to make sure you are satisfied."

After he said that, he once again pressed down the King of Qi's burnt face.

"Which hand did you use to move my father? This one?"

He grabbed the King of Qi's left hand.

"Or this one?"

He grabbed the King of Qi's right hand again.

The King of Qi couldn't make a sound at all.

Despair and pain overwhelmed him.

"If you don't say anything, I'll assume both of them have moved."

Lu Yuan pulled out King Qi's head and pressed his hands into the stove.

"stop!"

King Rui finally came back to his senses from the huge shock.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that he could be frightened to the point of being frozen by a junior.

How can there be such cruel people in the world?
He was doing the most horrible thing, yet had the calmest expression, as if he was not burning a living person but a soulless piece of wood.

Prince Rui thought of the rumors about Lu Yuan, a first-rank commander-in-chief who was in charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He was brutal and there was no torture instrument he could not think of, and no one he could not force to confess.

He has endless ways of torturing people. Once you fall into his hands, death is the best relief.

Prince Rui was unwilling to admit that the Lu Yuan in front of him made him feel a little creepy.

His reason made him suppress his fear and he shouted loudly: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and catch the assassin!"

A jailer said: "But that is... the emperor's eldest grandson..."

Although the crown prince is guilty, the emperor's eldest grandson is the guardian of the country.

People in this world are superstitious, so who dares to touch him? Aren't they afraid of punishment from God?

Prince Rui was furious. While Lu Yuan was torturing Prince Qi and had no time to spare, he grabbed the iron hook on the table and hit Lu Yuan hard on the back of his head.

In the blink of an eye, a slender figure suddenly appeared like a ghost.

A slap in the face sent King Rui flying against the wall.

Before he even hit the ground, he slapped him again with his backhand, knocking him hard onto the table piled with torture instruments.

The torture instruments rolled to the ground, and the clanging sounds caused a terrifying echo in the cell.

King Rui's left arm was dislocated. He caught it with his backhand and was about to grab the iron hook beside him.

An embroidered shoe stepped mercilessly on his wrist.

"I myself can't bear to touch him, how dare you?"

Liu Qingyun's eyes flashed with fierce bloodshot light, "Three thousand steps, every step is stained with my blood. I risked my life to rescue the person from the Hades Palace, I won't let you bully and torture him!"

She broke the bones of King Rui's hand with one step.

King Rui also let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Liu Qingyun kicked him fiercely: "I'm protecting him! I let you bully him! I let you be blind! I let you seek death! I let you--"

"That's enough, Xiaobai, that's enough."

Lu Zhaoyan gently held her hand.

Liu Qingyun said angrily: "He bullied you!"

Her eyes were bulging with anger, just like she had many years ago.

When he was assassinated once, she stood in front of him like this to warn the assassins who came to assassinate him.

"I'm protecting him! Anyone who dares to touch him needs to ask me, Bai Liu, first!"

After so many years, his Xiaobai hasn't changed at all.

"Kill him and dirty your feet."

Lu Zhaoyan said softly.

Liu Qingyun kicked him again before being led aside by Lu Zhaoyan.

She looked at his wounds and frowned, "Let me take a look."

"It's okay, just a superficial wound."

Lu Zhaoyan didn't let her see.

Liu Qingyun had to see it.

During the tug of war, Prince Rui grabbed the knife on the ground and stabbed it into Liu Qingyun's back.

However, it was at this moment that something unbelievable happened.

When his dagger was less than half a foot away from Liu Qingyun, he was stunned.

He lowered his head, staring blankly at the long sword that pierced his chest, then looked along the long sword towards Lu Zhaoyan who had pierced him with the sword.

"you……"

Black blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

There was shock in his eyes.

He was not shocked at when a sword appeared in Lu Zhaoyan's hand, but was shocked that he seemed to have never understood Lu Zhaoyan.

"You shouldn't have touched her."

Lu Zhaoyan pulled out the sword without mercy. He covered the back of Liu Qingyun's head with his other hand and used the back of his clean hand to block the splattering blood.

Liu Qingyun smelled a strong smell of blood and heard the sound of someone falling to the ground behind him.

She was a martial artist, and she could even tell if the other person was dying.

"Ah Yan you..."

She was stunned and said, "Aren't you told not to kill him?"

Prince Rui is a prince after all.

No matter how excessive his actions are, his life cannot be taken easily.

It was precisely because she understood that she was willing to stop after Lu Zhaoyan's persuasion.

"He deserves to be killed."

Lu Zhaoyan said softly.

Liu Qingyun turned around.

"Don't look."

Lu Zhaoyan hugged her. His tone was extremely gentle, but the look he gave Prince Rui was extremely cold.

Prince Rui was trembling all over and blood kept gushing out of his mouth.

“Two…two…you…”

He was unable to produce a coherent sound.

However, Lu Zhaoyan still understood his lip reading.

He was saying - "You killed your own brother, you will be punished..."

Lu Zhaoyan's expression did not change at all.

retribution?

Then let him bear it alone.

He threw away the sword, dragged his weak body, and walked out of the cell holding Liu Qingyun's hand.

……

"It's bad, Your Highness! It's bad!"

Prince Jin returned to the palace with a lot of anger. Before he even entered, he was stopped by the chief clerk of the Dali Temple.

The chief clerk looked like he had fled from famine. His official hat was crooked, his official robe was scattered, and even one of his official boots was missing. The King of Jin attached great importance to etiquette, especially after he became the regent.

No one is allowed to behave improperly in front of the palace.

He frowned: "What's wrong with this?"

The chief clerk adjusted his black hat in panic and said breathlessly, "Your Highness... something big has happened in the Dali Temple!"

Prince Jin asked suspiciously, "What could possibly happen in the Dali Temple?"

The Dali Temple was guarded by Prince Rui and Prince Qi.

The King of Qi was a little impulsive, but the King of Rui kept his composure.

Rather than interrogating Lu Zhaoyan, he is currently more concerned about how to resolve the big problem of his aunt.

Compared to the crown prince whose foundation is unstable, the eldest princess who has both the support of the people and military power is undoubtedly his number one concern.

The chief clerk had just come out of the Dali Temple and didn't know that the princess had led her troops into the city.

He was about to cry: "Your Highness... Prince Rui... is gone!"

King Jin paused and asked, "Who went? Where did they go?"

The chief clerk knelt down and said, "Your Highness Prince Rui! He...he died in the Dali Temple..."

King Jin was furious: "What?! Who did this?"

The chief clerk said tremblingly: "I... I... dare not say..."

King Jin pointed at his nose and said, "Speak!"

The chief clerk lowered his head and said, "Yes... the King of Qi!"

The King of Jin angrily shouted, "Nonsense! How could the King of Qi kill the King of Rui?"

The chief clerk choked up and said, "I saw it with my own eyes..."

The King of Jin grabbed him by the collar and said, "Tell me the truth! If you dare to lie, I will kill all your clans!"

"The King of Jin is so powerful. He has only been the regent for a few days, but he has forgotten his own identity? Killing all nine generations of his clan? Is this a crime you can bring against him?!"

The eldest princess walked in with dignity and majesty, surrounded by a group of officials.

The King of Jin did speak out of turn.

That was not something he was qualified to say at this moment.

But he didn't expect that so many civil and military officials would come to the palace gate!
This aunt's actions are so swift and decisive!
Is this still the brainless aunt?

Or was it... that she was just pretending before?

In order to lower everyone's vigilance.

Once he and the prince fight to the death, she will come out and reap the benefits?

"Get up."

The princess said to the chief clerk of the Dali Temple.

The chief clerk glanced at Prince Jin out of the corner of his eye, as if he was afraid of something.

Once he listened to the eldest princess, he became a thorn in the side of King Jin.

In life, there are always choices to make.

The chief clerk gritted his teeth, stood up and stood beside the eldest princess.

Prince Jin narrowed his eyes.

The princess said indifferently, "I asked Liu Zhubu to come and inform you."

He said to inform, not report.

Only people of higher status can speak like this.

Prince Jin slowly regained his sanity and asked sternly, "So, the Dali Temple incident is related to my aunt?"

The Princess said, "As soon as I entered the city, I ran into the Emperor's eldest grandson, who came to complain to me, saying that the Crown Prince was being tortured privately in the Dali Temple."

This lawsuit is skillful.

It does not say that the prince is innocent, but that someone has abused the prince for lynching him.

She continued, "So I went to the Dali Temple to find out what happened. I never thought that I would catch the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Rui. The Crown Prince is my nephew and my brother's son. How can he be tortured? Not to mention the Crown Prince, even common people should be questioned openly and honestly, not tortured into confessing!"

The teacher has a legitimate reason, solid evidence, and is fair and just!
Civil officials and military generals secretly admired her for her broad mind of serving the country and the people. She was worthy of being the eldest princess of Daliang!
The corners of King Jin's mouth twitched fiercely: "Even if their interrogation was a little hasty, there is no need for Aunt to kill her own nephew!"

The princess's aura was fully revealed: "I want to correct you. What they did was not hasty, but they broke the law knowingly!"

It's all about the king.

The princess took a few steps forward and stood in front of King Jin. "Also, the one who killed King Rui was King Qi. I just asked them to tell me who was the mastermind. The two of them blamed each other, and King Qi got angry and killed King Rui with a sword."

"I heard that the King of Qi was spoiled by you, his eldest brother, and he has become lawless. He often doesn't take any brothers other than you seriously. I didn't believe it at first and thought it was just an exaggeration. But after seeing it with my own eyes today, I am really disappointed!"

"The elder brother is like a father. You are to blame for your younger brother's behavior that goes against the will of heaven!"

The speech was eloquent, flawless, and every word was heart-piercing.

The King of Jin was furious.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt, this is just one side of the story. I want to see the King of Qi!"

The princess said confidently: "He fled because he was afraid of the crime."

Prince Jin looked into the Princess's eyes filled with coldness and disdain, and a thought flashed through his mind: She is lying!

"Aunt said that my fourth brother fled because he was afraid of being punished. Where is the evidence?"

The princess pointed at the chief clerk and several officials behind her who were called to the Dali Temple by her and asked: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Everyone nodded.

Outside the cell, they heard King Rui say, "Fourth brother, you dare to kill me!"

"No, Third Brother... No... I..."

"Catch him for me!"

After hearing the voices of the King of Qi and the Princess, they immediately saw the King of Qi escaping from the prison in a panic, holding a bloody sword.

The King of Jin knew his two younger brothers best. The King of Qi was jealous and indeed looked down on all his brothers except him.

But he would never accidentally kill King Rui!
It is impossible for Prince Rui to pass the buck to him!

All of this was fake from the beginning!
The King of Jin said with bloodshot eyes: "I want to see the King of Qi! I want to hear from him personally that he killed the King of Rui! Otherwise, it doesn't count!"

The princess sneered and said, "My dear nephew, that's not what you said when the Miao King disappeared with my brother. According to you, I should also meet the Miao King and confront him in person to confirm whether he kidnapped my brother."

Use your spear to attack your shield.

Is it your spear that is indestructible, or is it your shield that is indestructible?

The King of Jin was so choked that he couldn't utter a word.

But it would be naive to think that this is all there is.

The princess asked casually, "Ah, my dear nephew, do you think someone may have imprisoned my brother and deliberately framed the Miao king?"

Prince Jin's face changed and cold sweat broke out on his back.

He said with a fake smile: "Aunt really loves to joke."

The princess smiled and said, "So you also knew that I was joking, then why... did your expression change?"

The King of Jin ignored her words and returned to the point without changing his expression: "If the King of Miao was framed, why didn't he show up to prove his innocence, but hide like a turtle?"

These words are both a question and a test.

If the princess said that King Miao might have been captured as well, then King Jin could almost conclude that the secret of the underground palace had been leaked.

The princess gave him a deep look and said with a mocking smile, "You are trying to force the Crown Prince to confess, let alone the Miao King who is ready to fight? The Miao King showed up, waiting to be killed by you? My dear nephew, have you become stupid as the regent? You don't even understand this bit of human nature?"

In the second confrontation between Prince Jin and the eldest princess, Prince Jin was once again at a disadvantage.

Just half a day.

The prestige that he had worked so hard to build up was more than half destroyed by the eldest princess.

"I am going to the palace to visit the emperor's sister-in-law. My good nephew, please make way."

The eldest princess said this in a condescending manner and walked past Prince Jin without looking away.

As they passed by each other, King Jin asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The eldest princess paused, glanced at him, and said lightly: "I am your aunt."

She walked into the palace majestically and domineeringly like a phoenix flapping its wings.

The eunuch behind him said loudly: "The eldest princess is returning to the palace——"
