After Jing Mo and Jiang Zhuojun left, Li Luo shouted to the door of the torture chamber: "Someone come."

Several eunuchs on duty at the Ministry of Punishment came in in response.

"Interrogate her," Li Luo ordered in a cold voice.

Seeing these eunuchs approaching her and Li Luo turning around to walk out of the torture chamber, Concubine Long shouted, "I want to see His Majesty!"

"Don't let her die," Li Luo said, "Let her tell you the whereabouts of the imperial seal."

Concubine Long shouted, "The seal is with the queen!"

Li Luo stopped walking.

Concubine Long said: "Yu Linglong of Fengtian sent the jade seal to the Queen's Palace. Your Highness, the Queen is using you to kill me!"

If Concubine Long only said that the jade seal was with the Queen, the Fourth Prince might have thought about it in his heart, but when Concubine Long said that the jade seal was sent to the Queen by Yu Xiaoxiao, the Fourth Prince would not believe Concubine Long at all. It was not easy for Princess Linglong to enter the palace and take Concubine Yu and Li Yan out. Did she have the ability to take the jade seal out of the palace as well? (Fourth Prince, does Princess Linglong really have this ability ==)

Li Luo walked out of the torture room without looking back.

Seeing the door of the torture room closed again, Concubine Long was in despair. She was about to lower her head and bang her head against the wall beside her, but the eunuch who had walked in front of her grabbed her and raised his hand to hold Concubine Long's chin to prevent her from biting her tongue to commit suicide.

"Madam Long Fei," another eunuch looked at Concubine Long and whispered, "You'd better tell me the whereabouts of the jade seal. How can you bear the punishment for your precious body?"

Concubine Long shook her head desperately, and her already loose hair fell down, covering her entire face.

"The whole world will belong to the Fourth Prince," the eunuch said, "Your Majesty, if you still want to go against the Fourth Prince, the loss will outweigh the gain."

Concubine Long whimpered. In this situation, she might as well be killed like Ai Jingzhong!

The eunuchs looked at Concubine Long's expression. They had all been in the Ministry of Punishment for many years, and their livelihood depended on torture. In their opinion, Concubine Long's expression at this moment meant that she would refuse to confess even until her death.

"I'm sorry, Concubine Long," an eunuch apologized to Concubine Long.

The sound of torture instruments hitting flesh and the screams of the tortured soon filled the torture room.

After Li Luo walked out of the Ministry of Punishment, he said to Zhou Ning who was waiting for him outside the Ministry of Punishment, "Let's go to the bedroom."

Jing Mo and Jiang Zhuojun led a team of soldiers and rushed to the alley called Xingluo Street. After the two men dispersed the soldiers to help search for Mo Wen, they took a few personal soldiers and walked around in the alley for a long time before they saw Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang in a deep alley.

When Jing Mo saw these two people, he couldn't quite believe what he saw and blinked hard.

Jiang Zhuojun looked at the fire in front of him and the things burning on it, and said with a strange expression: "Are you roasting sparrows?"

Yu Xiaoxiao looked up at the others and said, "Sit down and eat together."

Gu Xinglang handed a sparrow that was roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside to Yu Xiaoxiao.

Her Royal Highness the Princess lowered her head and continued eating.

Jing Mo laughed and said, "You two are quite leisurely."

Gu Xinglang said: "We have nothing to do anyway."

Jing Mo turned around and said to his guards, "Go look around, don't worry about me."

Several guards took the order and looked at the two people sitting on the steps at the gate eating roasted sparrows. These guards had been busy today, killing people and breaking into the palace, and they felt like they had gone from one world to another.

Jiang Zhuojun didn't say anything, but just waved to the two personal soldiers following him.

The two bodyguards understood that their general was trying to drive them away.

"I'll treat each of you to a sparrow," Yu Xiaoxiao ate a sparrow and then looked up to talk to the people in front of her. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess was not a generous person and was very protective of her food, she still had the courage to treat people to a few sparrows.

The guards and personal soldiers looked at their master. Should they eat the sparrow or not?

"This is the reward from Her Royal Highness the Princess," Jing Mo said with a smile, "Please thank her and accept the reward."

The guards and personal soldiers all smiled happily. A sparrow for each of them was such a "generous" reward.

Yu Xiaoxiao wanted to pick the small ones at first, but after she looked at all the sparrows roasting on the fire, she found that the sizes of these little sparrows became the same after being roasted by the fire.

Gu Xinglang "rewarded" the sparrows and turned to comfort Yu Xiaoxiao: "We still have a lot here."

Yu Xiaoxiao muttered, "I'm not reluctant."

Zhuri's guards, Suzaku's personal soldiers..., it sounds like they are reluctant to let go!

Yu Xiaoxiao looked up at the people who were standing there holding roasted sparrows and asked, "Do you still want to eat?"

Before anyone could say anything, Gu Xinglang said, "That's all."

You are so generous!

The guards and bodyguards left. If they stayed any longer, they would not be in the mood to eat sparrows!

Jing Mo lifted his robe, sat on the steps, and asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Where did this sparrow come from?"

Yu Xiaoxiao pointed at the old sycamore tree at the end of the alley and said, "There are several families here. Xiao Gu and I caught them all."

Jing Mo didn't care about sitting on the floor, so Jiang Zhuojun was even less likely to care. General Jiang also sat on the steps and said, "Aren't you looking for Mo Wen?"

Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head and repeated what she had said to Gu Xinglang.

Jing Mo nodded and sighed, "What a pity."

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Jing Mo and said, "Didn't you catch Mo Wen?"

Jing Mo saw that there was oil on the corner of Yu Xiaoxiao's mouth, so he raised his hand to wipe her mouth. As his hand was raised, the Great Prince Jing also remembered that Gu Xinglang was sitting next to Yu Xiaoxiao. He changed direction and took a roasted sparrow out of the fire, saying, "It seems that Mo Wen is not destined to die."

Wasn't it her destiny to die? Yu Xiaoxin felt depressed and swallowed the sparrow in her mouth, including the meat and bones.

Gu Xinglang handed a roasted sparrow to Jiang Zhuojun and asked, "Is everything fine in the palace?"

Jiang Zhuojun said: "The Fourth Prince has already entered the palace, but the imperial seal is lost."

Gu Xinglang immediately asked, "Was it taken away by the Dragon Concubine?"

"Ai Jingzhong has been executed," Jing Mo said, "Now the Fourth Prince should be trying Concubine Long. If Concubine Long can't endure the torture, she will naturally reveal the whereabouts of the jade seal."

Gu Xinglang looked at Jiang Zhuojun and said, "The imperial seal is missing, and the Fourth Prince actually asked you to leave the palace?" In the opinion of the Third Master Gu, the imperial seal was related to the legitimacy of the throne. How could Li Luo not send Jiang Zhuojun to handle such a big matter?

Jiang Zhuojun lowered his head and took a bite of sparrow meat.

Yu Xiaoxiao said at this time: "Isn't it a big deal to find Mo Wen?"

Jiang Zhuojun looked up at Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Princess, do you think the jade seal is not as important as Mo Wen?"

Yu Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and whispered to the three people in front of her: "Okay, maybe it's stupid of me to ask this, but can you tell me first, what is the jade seal?"

The prince consort, the prince, and the general...
