The palace dungeon.
Even though the conditions in the cell where Su Yi lived were relatively good, it was still within the dungeon.
Places like dungeons are always dimly lit and filled with a mixture of all kinds of dark and rotten smells.
The dungeon is well soundproofed, but the palace is too noisy today.
It started early in the morning and has not stopped until now.
"It's time for dinner."
The guards in charge of the dungeon had a good attitude towards the people imprisoned in Su Yi's area. After all, these were people around Yin Xuanmo and had not been convicted. They were just forced to temporarily restrict their freedom and keep everything under supervision.
Soon the meals were delivered to their respective cells, and they were unusually sumptuous.
The guards in charge of the dungeon also showed some joy on their faces. "Miss Su Yi, everyone, please eat as much as you can. If there is not enough, just tell us."
A guard in the cell next to Su Yi asked, "Brother, what time is it outside?"
"It's past noon. The prince and princess have finished their prayers and church. Now it's time for the lively lunch."
The guards in charge of the dungeon said, "The butler has specifically ordered that the brothers here must also have the food on the table outside, so that everyone can share in the joy and have fun together."
Soon, the aroma of food filled the entire dungeon.
The people on this side of the border are all from the palace, but not from other places. Those people are not treated so well, and the screams and roars can still be heard faintly.
Su Yi is a person who has experienced hardship, so she doesn't feel too much psychological burden to eat in such an environment. What's more, there are so many delicious foods, and they are still steaming. They smell delicious just by smelling!
It must be delicious.
Su Yi washed her hands and sat down, eager to pick up the food on the small table.
The soft and glutinous braised pork takes a bite and the juice is fragrant.
Su Yi narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, and felt like she was instantly full of energy again. She was full of energy, and could live another 500 years!
The guards next to her were silent when they saw how seriously she was enjoying her meal.
Whether this girl in plain clothes is eating a dry bun or a hearty meal, she can fill the eyes of those who watch her with appetite.
She definitely treats food more preciously than she treats her master.
Thinking of Yin Xuanmo, the guards felt even more subtle.
The master was getting married outside, but the girl in plain clothes didn't seem to be affected at all.
Since they were allowed to be placed outside the study by Yin Xuanmo, they were naturally the people that Yin Xuanmo trusted the most.
They could all understand to some extent how the Lord treated this plain-clothed girl in a special way, but this plain-clothed girl...
Don't you think like your master at all?
Su Yi took her attention away from the food for a rare moment, and looked at the guards next to her in surprise, "You don't want to eat it? It won't taste so good if it gets cold later."
Guards: “…”
eat!
Mo Mo started to pick up his chopsticks. "Miss Su Yi is right."
There was still wine today. Although Su Yi didn't drink much, she could still drink a little. She poured herself a small cup and raised it up, saying happily, "Brothers, let's have a drink. Congratulations to Prince Yin on his wedding~"
Guards: “…”
What else can they say? Raise your glass and drink!
However, half an hour after the meal, Su Yi discovered something tragic.
Maybe she ate too much, and the food today was too rich, so she had an upset stomach. Suyi went to the toilet twice. It was like she had an upset stomach, but when she really went in, she was fine.
After coming out, her stomach started to feel uncomfortable again, so Suyi simply stayed in the clean room and didn't come out for the time being.
Suddenly, the faint noise turned into the faint sound of weapons clashing.
Soon, the clear sound of weapons fighting was heard at the entrance of the dungeon.
Soon, a large group of people wearing various clothes but all wearing masks on their faces rushed in to fight.
The guards in charge of the dungeon reacted quickly when they heard the sound of weapons clashing and immediately organized a counterattack.
But the enemy was fierce and was no less powerful than the strictly trained guards who managed the dungeon.
In a short period of time, the worst that could happen was a draw. Once the guards in other parts of the palace heard the noise and rushed over, these masked men would be cornered.
but!
Not long after the masked men approached the guards in the dungeon, many of the guards in the dungeon suddenly fell down as if they were poisoned!
Now, the masked men rushed into the dungeon almost unhindered.
He quickly rushed to the innermost cell where Su Yi and the others were.
As soon as they approached, in just a moment, the guards guarding the study next to Su Yi began to fall one by one.
After all, he is a guard that Yin Xuanmo values and is knowledgeable and experienced.
After smelling the faint strange fragrance from these masked men, I remembered something and reacted completely.
“You… who are you!?”
"Hehe, we are going to see the King of Hell, why bother about who we are." One of the masked men glanced at the cell where Su Yi lived, "I heard that the Regent of Southern Xinjiang has a beloved woman. If that woman dies, I'm sure the Regent of Southern Xinjiang will be a little sad."
"You... dare!"
The masked man didn't intend to say more, and directly cut the lock of Su Yi's cell with a knife.
They exchanged glances and went to the tightly closed clean room.
"Bang!" Yijue kicked open the door of the clean room. There was no plain clothes inside, but two sharp sword energies came straight at him!
There is an ambush!
Before the masked man could react, there was another "bang" sound.
The guards who had fallen to the ground in the neighboring cell were now intact. They kicked open the cell and quickly surrounded them!
"They weren't poisoned, we were fooled!"
A masked man shouted, "Brothers, even if we lose, we cannot fall into the hands of the enemy!"
When these people found out they had been tricked and surrounded, they simply bit themselves to death.
This is the moment!
They actually fell down with a bang!
He was still conscious, but he didn't even have the strength to bite through the poison in his back teeth!
The study guard said to the dungeon guard who had stood up from the ground without being poisoned, "Everyone, we'll leave these people to you."
"rest assured."
At this moment, outside at the wedding banquet, there were also earth-shaking changes.
The process was similar to that in the prison cell. The court officials, as well as Yin Xuanmo, Qian Yuse and others, who were originally happily drinking and eating, all fell down one after another after several servants brought by the prime minister entered the room to find the prime minister.
Not only they fell down, but also the guards and servants in the mansion who were also given food, wine and meat because of today's happy event.
A few guards who had not eaten yet immediately went to protect Yin Xuanmo, Yin Li and others, but among those who fell down, many servants of the court officials suddenly stood up with masks on their faces, and quickly surrounded Yin Xuanmo, Yin Li and others.
Although the poisoned courtiers present could not move their fingers, they were very conscious and could see clearly.
This sudden change almost caused many court officials to have a heart attack.
What is happening?
The masked men surrounding Yin Xuanmo and Yin Li laughed strangely, "Regent of Southern Xinjiang, how about we send you and your son to meet your ancestors now?"
"Oh~" He glanced at Qian Yuse who was also half-fallen on the seat over there, "There is also a Fengluan Queen included."
Yin Xuanmo's eyes were as dark as the abyss, "Can you do it?"
The voice and tone are normal, but it makes people feel creepy and stuffy!
Among the courtiers who slumped in their seats, some suddenly had a bad premonition.
Yin Xuanmo obviously didn't want to waste time. He sneered disdainfully and stood up steadily in the surprised gaze of everyone.
"Take them down."
With these four words, the guards who had fallen everywhere before were like tigers out of their cages. When the masked men were horrified and prepared to resist, they fell down one after another just like the masked men in the dungeon, without even a chance to bite.
Some court officials looked as pale as death at this moment.
It's over.
If this place is like this, I am afraid that the dungeon will also fail. After all, fewer people go to the dungeon.
They failed!
At this time, Empress Fengluan Qian Yuse also sat up calmly and there was a few rounds of applause.
Her beautiful eyes were smiling but not smiling, and she said meaningfully, "What a good show. The wedding banquet of the Regent of Southern Xinjiang is really interesting."
She yawned and stood up, went to Yin Li and rubbed Yin Li's head, who had also sat up, "Li'er, mother will go back to the inn first. The family scandal in Southern Xinjiang... mother is not interested."
Then she curled her lips towards Yin Xuanmo, "Prince Yin, there's no need to see me off."
The followers brought by Qian Yu Se were obviously also faking poisoning. At this moment, they followed Qian Yu Se out of everyone's sight again.
Some people were really poisoned, such as all the court officials, all the masked men, and all the servants in the palace except the guards.
Yin Xuanmo looked down from above, his eyes as cold as ice, making people afraid. "Take the same measure as the way the person treats you. Li'er, have you learned it?"
Yin Li had already come to Yin Xuanmo and nodded seriously.
"Bring them out." Yin Xuanmo waved his hand, and the guards accurately clamped out a group of court officials.
There were twenty-three people in total.
When the prime minister saw this scene, his face turned pale for the first time. "I have failed in my duty. I am guilty. Please punish me, Regent!"
Yin Xuanmo said coldly, "The Prime Minister really cares about his colleagues. Do you still want to protect them at this time?"
The prime minister was trembling with fear, sweating profusely, "Regent, they, they..."
"How are they?"
The prime minister said, "The war with Annan is at a stalemate, and the court needs people right now. I beg Your Majesty to let them atone for their crimes."
"You have made a good arrangement, but others will appreciate it." Yin Xuanmo's cold eyes fell on the twenty-three court officials who were restrained and kneeling in front of him, "My Lords, what do you think?"
The twenty-three people knew that everything was over the moment Yin Xuanmo stood up.
They knew the methods of the regent, and they knew they would not survive. No, when they decided to do this, they did not plan to survive. They were ready to sacrifice their lives for the country of Southern Xinjiang!
"The Regent is right. We won't appreciate it!" Although the minister was poisoned and couldn't even raise his voice, his tone was extremely aggressive. "Prime Minister, you are the Prime Minister of Southern Xinjiang. You watched the Regent make a mistake. My Southern Xinjiang country is in danger, but you didn't dissuade him. Instead, you supported him servilely, just to please the Regent! People like you are not worthy of pleading for us!"
"You!" The Prime Minister rolled his eyes and almost fainted. "You are so confused! So confused!"
"You are the one who is confused!"
"The regent wants to make a child who has no blood relationship with me and is even the crown prince of another country the emperor of my Southern Border. This is to hand over the thousands of years of foundation of my Southern Border to someone else! I only regret that I couldn't kill that child today and return it to me..."
"Shut up!" The prime minister trembled all over, and instantly looked dozens of years older. "Just because of such an absurd idea, you did such a treasonous thing, even sacrificing the soldiers fighting against Annan!"
The prime minister was not aware of this, but he intuitively connected the leak of the military defense map with these people. The twenty-three people ignored the prime minister, but did not deny it. They looked at Yin Xuanmo, and even though they could not move, they tried their best to salute Yin Xuanmo.
They are obviously not enlightened and are only doing it for the beliefs in their hearts.
"Prince Regent!" they said in sorrow, "You have always been the wisest and the hope that all of us in Southern Xinjiang look up to. How could you be so foolish?"
"We old ministers only regret that we were unable to kill the prince and that Su Yi. We only regret that we can no longer serve you and the court. We old ministers are unwilling to accept this!"
"Prince Regent! If you would only consider the dedication of our old ministers to Southern Xinjiang over the years, please send His Royal Highness away and kill Su Yi!"
"Ha," Yin Xuanmo sneered, "Have you said enough? If you have, I will grant your wish and give you an intact body to prove your loyalty to Southern Xinjiang."
"Father," Yin Li trembled, grabbed Yin Xuanmo's sleeve, and spoke with some difficulty, "Their starting point..."
Before he finished speaking, "Yin Li." It was the first time that Yin Xuanmo called him by his full name, and Yin Li was stunned.
"A ruler must have a benevolent heart, but if you only have a cruel heart, you will harm not only yourself, but the entire world."
Yin Li let go of Yin Xuanmo's sleeve in a daze, "My son... I understand."
Before being taken away by the guards, the twenty-three people were filled with sorrow and said, "We, your servants, thank you!"
They did nothing wrong!
I just regret that I couldn’t do it!
