After experiencing the childbirth experience instrument, Zhao Yiming no longer stopped Tian An from going to the clinic, but only instructed the maids to take good care of her.
But because of the dwarf, he came home later and later these days. Basically, Tian An was asleep when he came back. The next day, before Tian An woke up, he left again.
Although the two of them slept in the same bed every night, Tian An really hadn't seen him for several days.
Thanks to all the efforts, Tian An slept late today, and finally waited for him.
"Why are you coming back later and later these days? If I didn't know your character, I would have thought you had someone else outside." Tian An said as he pulled the quilt towards him.
Although Zhao Yiming was exhausted after a few days, he still patiently tried to coax him after hearing what Tian An said, "What nonsense are you thinking about!"
Then he was silent for a moment, pulled Tian An who was pulling the quilt, looked at her seriously and said: "Is it because I came back late these days and ignored you, which made you have such thoughts? Then, I will try to come back earlier in the future."
He had a lot of things to do, and the prince was very generous to allow him to come back and sleep with Tian An every day.
But if this makes Tian An lose his sense of security, he will work harder and try to spend more time with her.
Hearing this, Tian An put down his work and said, "I was just joking with you! Why did you take it so seriously?"
However, she said it lightly, but Zhao Yiming was really concerned about it. He secretly made up his mind to come back earlier in the future.
Tian An hadn't seen this man for several days, and his eyelids, which had been a little heavy, were now bulging.
Lying in his arms, she asked curiously, "There's no war going on now, and the border is stable. Logically, the Ministry of War shouldn't be so busy!"
Zhao Yiming closed his eyes, twisted his fingers around her smooth black hair, and said nonchalantly, "It's not the Ministry of War, it's that dwarf."
During this period, he would finish the work of the Ministry of War every day before going to the Heavenly Prison with the Crown Prince to interrogate the dwarf. However, the dwarf was very stubborn and no useful information was extracted from him after such a long time.
Hearing this, Tian An straightened up and asked, "Hasn't he made any move yet?"
Zhao Yiming sighed, "We've used all the necessary punishments. If we continue to torture him, he'll be dead."
Originally they thought that this dwarf was just an ordinary killer in the dark chamber.
But this incident made them realize that the dwarf's status in the Dark Chamber might be much higher than they thought. After all, ordinary killers don't have this treatment, so the organization went to great lengths to help him escape from prison.
Tian An frowned, "Perhaps for some people, physical punishment is far less deadly than psychological torture!"
"Psychologically?" Zhao Yiming was puzzled.
Tian An nodded and said, "People with physical disabilities like him must have suffered a lot in their childhood, such as the strange looks from others, vicious words, the dislike from their family, and perhaps even more injuries that we can't imagine.
Such a person, no matter how strong his body is, still has a secret in his heart that outsiders cannot mention.
People born with physical defects cannot be cured even by the most advanced medicine. Such people are the most pitiful. If this dwarf was not a killer, Tian An would not be willing to teach Zhao Yiming such a heart-breaking method.
"If necessary, I can help you hypnotize him. As long as the hypnosis is successful, you can ask whatever you want, and there is no need to worry about him telling lies."
Hearing that Tian An had a solution, Zhao Yiming immediately opened his eyes and sat up. "I'll send someone to deliver a message to the Crown Prince first. This matter needs his approval."
As he was about to get out of bed, Tian An hurriedly stopped him and put a packet of medicine in his hand. "You've used so many tortures on him and he still hasn't responded. This shows that this man has a strong will. If the prince agrees to hypnotize him, you can give him this packet of medicine three times, two hours apart each time. Then the chances of success will be greater."
Zhao Yiming nodded and said, "I'm going to the study to write a letter. You go to bed first." He took the medicine from Tian An, put on his coat and went out.
When he came back, Tian An was already asleep.
The next day, Zhao Yiming came to pick her up as soon as he got off the yamen. Tian An originally thought that they would go to the Sky Prison, but unexpectedly the carriage stopped at the door of a mansion.
Seeing her confusion, Zhao Yiming explained, "This is a property under the prince's name, and you're pregnant! How can I allow you to go to a place like the Heavenly Prison, which is dirty and smelly?
After receiving the news last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arranged for someone to secretly send someone here."
After the two entered the mansion, they found that there was no one guarding the outside, but the inside was heavily guarded.
The prince's secret guards led them to the entrance of a dungeon and stopped. "His Royal Highness is already waiting inside. Duke and his wife, please go in!"
When the two entered the dungeon, the prince was sitting at a table drinking tea.
Opposite was the dwarf whom I had just seen not long ago. He was tied to a wooden stake. Compared to the last time I saw him, his face was paler and his body had returned to its original size.
The clothes were clean, but there was a bloodstain on the shoulder blade, and the exposed part of the arm was covered with new and old scars.
Perhaps the prince was afraid that his wounded, bloodstained and dirty appearance would scare him, so he had someone change his clothes in advance!
At this time, his expression was a little strange, with his head down and a listless look. Tian An knew at a glance that he had already fed Zhao Yiming the medicine he had given him last night.
The drug was designed to distract him, so as to reduce his mental concentration, weaken his willpower, and increase the success rate of hypnosis.
Tian An called the two aside and said, "After hypnosis, his subconscious mind only recognizes one voice, and the others need to be silent, otherwise it may stimulate him to wake up.
After that, he became defensive and it became difficult for us to hypnotize him a second time.
It's best to prepare some writing materials and write down all the questions you want to ask. We can communicate via text later."
Upon hearing this, the prince immediately ordered people to prepare writing materials and ink, and evacuated everyone around them, leaving only the three of them.
Seeing this, Tian An took out silver needles from his bag, picked out three suitable ones, and walked towards the dwarf, inserting them into three acupuncture points on his head.
But in a moment, the dwarf's expression became a little dull.
Tian An took off the only palace lantern hairpin that Zhao Yiming gave her from her bun.
There is a small night-shining pearl inside the palace lantern of the buyao, which cannot be seen when worn in the daytime. At this time, the light in the dungeon is dim, and there is only a candle burning on the wooden table in front of the prince. In addition, Tian An is facing away from the candlelight, making the light of the night-shining pearl more prominent.
Tian An raised his hand and held the hairpin in front of the dwarf. The soft light of the night pearl shone into the dwarf's eyes little by little, and his somewhat dull and distracted eyes gradually came into focus, condensing into a faint light.
