Chapter 25: Torture

When they arrived at the gate of Shen Xing Division, several Tian Wuwei guards were arguing with the guarding the gate.
The Shen Xing Division is the yamen of the Imperial Palace. It is different from the inside and outside of the imperial army and cannot enter at all, so a few rough eunuchs outside the door stopped them with righteous words. Now it is much more convenient to have Li Jieyu, the imperial concubine.
Hearing Yuan Luo's identity report, the guard of the Shen Xing Division was shocked.
As the interrogation and punishment department in the palace, the Shen Xing Department is the most insidious place in the palace. Not to mention the concubines, even the slightly decent palace maids and eunuchs will not come here if nothing is wrong. The coldness of the court is comparable. Cold palace.
It is really strange that a lady Jieyu came here in person. just……
"The empress is a concubine, but she visits foreign ministers. I'm afraid that this matter is not in compliance with the rules of the palace."
Listening to the yin and yang of the gatekeeper's eunuch, Yuan Luo said coldly: "The palace is instructed to assist Liu Cairen's memorial service behind him, and is checking the number of details. On that day, foreman Gu interrogated Xiangming and other auspicious palace palaces. ask."
The had nothing to say.
Yuan Luo and his party entered the gate.
The premises of the Shen Xing Division were neat and quiet, and it didn't look as dark as the rumors. It's just that occasionally a little bit of wailing and screaming from an unknown room gave the plain courtyard a gloomy atmosphere.
Cai Yunheng said in a low voice anxiously next to him: "I have been arrested for most of the day, and it is said that it has been ordered by Kunning Palace."
Yuan Luo was not surprised. Wei Xi, a foreign minister, could not directly order the Department of Penalty. It must have been through the order of Queen Wei.
Queen Wei, you are pitting your future husband!
After a few turns, I quickly reached the depths of the inner prison, in a single room, and saw Gu Yi sitting in the corner.
Seeing them coming in, the leader was Yuan Luo, and the boy showed an unexpected expression. Immediately his eyes fell on Cai Yunheng, full of disapproval.
Yuan Luo looked at him and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that I have been detained for most of the day, without water, and my stomach is panicking." Gu Yi said flatly, "Thank you for your concern."
What he actually wanted to ask more was that he was a foreign minister after all. Yuan Luo, as a concubine, would not cause gossip when visiting him?
He glanced over Yuan Luo, paused on the bruise on her throat, and then over Cai Yunheng behind him. Although the two of them had arranged their clothes, the scars could not be erased.
Gu Yi's eyes tightened: "Someone is rude to the empress."
He used affirmative sentences. Yuan Luo nodded, "There was a little disturbance on the road. This is a trivial matter, so don't worry."
Gu Yi's clear eyes were full of haze, and he lowered his gaze: "Because of me, it was my guilt and Yunheng's troublesome to disturb my mother."
"What's going on this half day, but what is someone forced to ask you?" Yuan Luo stared at his stiff figure.
I have seen Gu Yi several times. The young boy’s sitting posture is always as straight as a sword, with bright eyesight. There was a bit of stiffness in front of him, and he hadn't changed since he came in, and if there was a smell floating in the air, he must have been tortured.
"This is a trivial matter, you don't have to worry about it." This guy used the same words to prevaricate Yuan Luo's worries. He lowered his eyes, "I and Jie Yu are not related to each other, because of my business, it has been a lot tired. Yun Heng, you send your empress out first."
Cai Yunheng is anxious: "Ayi, you..."
Yuan Luo felt distressed and helpless again, "Do you know why you were locked up?"
Gu Yi laughed: "I know a thing or two, but there is nothing wrong with it."
Cai Yunheng lowered his voice: "Wang Ba Lao of Jin Wuwei, Wei Xi's conscientious thing, can't be found out in the investigation, but I want to find you to blame."
"Don't worry about it. My life and death are not in your own hands. The one who wanted me to die would have killed him without a charge. If he didn't want me to die, he would have committed a heinous crime. It can pass successfully."
Yuan Luo was stunned before realizing that the "that one" here refers to who. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. It turned out that this guy was so calm, his confidence was actually in him.
Out of a subtle curiosity, Yuan Luo blurted out and asked: "Why do you think the imperial concubine will protect you from death?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's to win people's hearts. After all, the rest of the Gu family has been treated leniently. Even if she wants to kill me, she will have to completely control the Gu family's soldiers and horses." Gu Yi hangs down. Sight.

Yuan Luo was speechless, she was thinking of the elite soldiers left by the Gu family. Gu Liangyong suffered a terrible defeat at the border, leaving behind 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers, who are all elites who have experienced many battles.
Cai Yunheng also relaxed a little, and immediately regained his humble nature.
"Maybe it depends on you being handsome, haha."
Yuan Luo was speechless, this kid should have been taken by Wei Xi's people.
"I heard that the imperial concubine and the two commanders have made a three-day agreement. Tomorrow is the time to come to the end. As long as I don't recognize it, I don't believe they can get out of the sky." Gu Yi said calmly, "You leave as soon as possible. This is not a place to stay for a long time."
Cai Yunheng lowered his head, took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, and rolled in through the gap in the cell. "This is a wound medicine, you can use it first, don't leave the root of the disease."
Gu Yi smiled relaxedly, and joked: "It's a minor injury. The punishments in the palace are all idiots. The injuries in the army are heavier than this."
He spoke contemptuously, but the medicine bottle rolled to his feet, but he didn't pick it up.
Yuan Luo was in a heavy mood, and the punishment of the Department of Sentences might not be as good as external torture that would make people bloody, but its sinisterness and viciousness were even worse.
This day and night, the teenager suffered a lot, especially when he rejected Wei Xi's offer of perjury. For the rest of the time, I was afraid that the methods of torture would be even more vicious.
Yuan Luo thought for a while, and could only draw a salary. She comforted: "You can bear with me for the time being, you can go out soon."
Gu Yi nodded slightly and urged them to leave again.

After leaving the Shen Xing Division, Yuan Luo returned to the Zichen Hall, quickly packed her makeup, and deliberately added a fox fur collar to her neck to cover the bruises that Wei Xi pinched. Then took people to Kunning Palace.
For her visit at this hour, Queen Wei was surprised.
Concubine Zhuo Shu and Du Zhaoyi stood up and said, "The empress and concubine have important matters to discuss, so the concubines will not be disturbed." They just came to discuss with Queen Wei because of the banquet the day after.
"It's okay, within the palace, what can be important." Empress Wei raised her hand to block.
Yuan Luo ignored the concubine Zhuo Shu and Du Zhaoyi who were saluting, her eyes fell on Queen Wei's pretty face, and she asked straightforwardly: "I already know about Liu Cairen, right?"
"This..." Unexpectedly, Yuan Luo would bring up this matter, and Queen Wei was caught off guard and hesitated.
Concubine Zhuo Shu and Du Zhaoyi beside them couldn't help showing different colors. The things about Liu Cairen had already been heard by high-ranking concubines like them. The inner courtyard of the deep palace was tarnished, which was unheard of.
Queen Wei quickly turned her thoughts. Why did the imperial concubine bring up this matter? She takes care of all the affairs of the harem, and her own queen has no power except for her concubine's morning and evening greetings and banquets in her spare time. Was it because you suspected that you had interfered and came to ask the crime?
Yuan Luo smiled: "Since Niang Niang intervened in this matter, do you still pretend not to know?"
Stimulated by these words, Queen Wei's cheeks flushed, "Such a major event is related to the safety of the harem. If these villains are not brought to justice as soon as possible, who can rest in the harem?"
Even if Yuan Luo came to ask the crime, she was not afraid. She was a righteous queen, and behind her was a high-ranking nobleman. How could she not be able to compete with the imperial concubine from a poor family, but her father told her to avoid her edge. At this time, the queen's money came out. Although young, it was also very majestic.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Luo laughed instead of anger, "It's very good for my mother to have this idea."
"Since the empress also feels that this villain should be brought to justice as soon as possible, it's better to recruit people to interrogate the truth."
Queen Wei was startled, "I heard that the imperial concubine and the two guards had agreed to see the difference in three days."
"The three-day period is just to allow the people of the two guards to investigate the case in detail. Now I heard that Jin Wuwei has made great progress in the case, and he has also discussed the arrest from the empress. Early or late, you can also ask in advance. The Sixth Palace is at ease." Turning his eyes, he fell on Concubine Zhuo Shu and Zhaoyi Du, "What do Concubine Shu and Zhaoyi think?"
Where did the two dare to say no words, they continued to say: "Niang Niang wise."
Queen Wei thought for a while, her brother had already caught the suspect before, and he nodded as soon as he gritted his teeth.
