The people from the Ministry of Punishment saw Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly appear in the front courtyard of the ministry as if she had fallen from the sky. For a few minutes, no one dared to step forward or speak. Everyone looked at Yu Xiaoxiao standing there in fear.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her as if they had seen a ghost, Yu Xiaoxiao reflected on herself and wondered if her act of climbing over the wall had frightened the people here. "Do you want me to go through the door again?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked the people standing around her.
After hearing Yu Xiaoxiao's words, a eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Punishment woke up from a dream. He ran to Yu Xiaoxiao, knelt down and saluted her.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't wait for the man to finish his greetings before saying, "Okay, get up, let's talk."
The eunuch in charge got up from the ground and respectfully asked Yu Xiao, "Princess, why are you here?"
"Where are the seven people who were sent over just now?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
The eunuch in charge said, "Princess, the seven prisoners have been imprisoned."
"Lead the way," Yu Xiao.
The eunuch in charge plucked up his courage and asked Yu Xiao, "Princess, do you have the emperor's order?"
Yu Xiaoxiao was stunned and said, "You still need my father's imperial edict?"
Everyone..., why doesn't Her Royal Highness the Princess know something that everyone in the world knows?
The eunuch in charge looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and didn't dare to let her go, nor did he dare to let her in just like that.
Yu Xiaoxiao shrugged and said, "It's okay. I'll give you another imperial decree later. Lead the way."
The eunuch in charge felt fresh after listening to Yu Xiaoxiao's words. Could the imperial edict be revised?
Seeing that the eunuch in charge still refused to let her go, Yu Xiaoxiao said the truth with a sluggish face: "You can't stop me even if you want to."
The eunuch in charge led Yu Xiaoxiao to the door of the prison dungeon. The emperor would not do anything to the princess, but would definitely kill her. "Princess," the eunuch in charge led Yu Xiaoxiao to the door and begged her, "You entered the prison without permission. If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely kill me. I hope you can say a few good words for me in front of the emperor!"
Yu Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'll protect you. If my father wants to kill you, he has to kill me first."
The eunuch in charge was relieved now, knowing that the emperor probably would not be able to kill the princess in his lifetime.
When Yu Xiaoxiao entered the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment, she immediately smelled a mixture of blood and mold.
The eunuch in charge was afraid that Yu Xiaoxiao would not be used to the smell, so he said to her kindly, "Princess, the smell in this cell is not good. Can I prepare a scented towel for you?"
How could someone who has lived in the apocalypse not be able to stand the smell of a dungeon? Yu Xiaoju: "It does smell a bit bad, but it's okay."
The eunuch in charge took a deep breath of the air in the dungeon, and then expressed his admiration for Yu Xiaoxiao again. With such a stench, you still say it’s okay?
Yu Xiaoxiao followed the eunuch in charge into the depths of the dungeon, listened attentively to the noises in the dungeon, and asked the eunuch in charge, "Haven't you started to interrogate them yet?"
The eunuch in charge said, "To answer your question, the emperor has just issued an imperial decree to strictly interrogate these seven prisoners. We are already interrogating them now."
Yu Xiao: "Then why is there no movement in here?"
The eunuch in charge said, "Princess, the torture chamber is on the third floor underground. I'm afraid you can't hear the sounds from the torture chamber if you stand here."
Yu Xiao: "My hearing is very good. I can even hear the noises on the fifth floor underground. Are the interrogations here just talking to the prisoners about life? So gentle?"
The eunuch in charge..., what does it mean to talk about life with a prisoner? Why can't he understand what the princess is saying?
Yu Xiaoxiao stopped and listened carefully to the movement under her feet. There was no movement at all. No one was talking about life down there. "You go out first," Yu Xiaoxiao said to the eunuch in charge, "something is wrong."
The eunuchs who were in charge of the imperial palace could not have not heard of Yu Xiaoxiao's reputation. He was immediately frightened by Yu Xiaoxiao and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, my princess, what happened here? What happened?"
"Hurry up and get out," Yu Xiaoxiao said to the eunuch in charge, "Don't come in without me."
The eunuch in charge said, "I can't leave you here alone, Princess."
"Oh my god," Yu Xiaoxiao said impatiently, "You mean, when I fight the enemy, I also have to protect your safety?"
The eunuch in charge didn't dare to say anything more and ran towards the stairs. He had to go and call for reinforcements!
After the eunuch in charge ran away, Yu Xiaoxiao walked deeper into the dungeon. When she pushed open the door of the third dungeon, a greasy sweet smell of human blood hit her in the face. Yu Xiaoxiao frowned and dodged into the heavy brass door.
The oil lamp hanging on the wall was on, the light was dim, and the halo was very small, only illuminating an area the size of a palm.
At the corner of the stairs, a corpse was lying on the stairs. All the skin on the body was gone. The bright red muscles were covered with a thick layer of yellow fat. The blood vessels and meridians were clearly visible without the protection of the skin.
Yu Xiaoxiao scratched her head and looked at the man's skeleton. This was not the seven murderers she had caught. This should be someone from the Ministry of Punishment.
Going further down, a body with its skin torn off also lay at the end of the stairs.
"Da da, da da da..." The sound of teeth grinding violently came from the backlight under the stairs.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood on the narrow steps with an expressionless face, but her heart was burning with anger. She was the one who captured these seven people, and the two dead people lying on the ground were killed by her.
A humanoid creature, also without skin and with rotting and festering muscles, quickly crawled to the end of the stairs from the backlight.
"Chu Qiu," Yu Xiaoxiao took a look at the man's skeleton and recognized him.
When the humanoid creature heard the name Chu Qiu, he stopped clenching his teeth and looked up at Yu Xiaoxiao.
"You've become like this," Yu Xiaoxiao walked down the stairs.
"ah--"
Chu Qiu screamed at Yu Xiaoxiao, her entire mouth filled with pus, which dripped down her exposed gums onto the ground in front of her.
Listening to Chu Qiu's screams that were completely beyond the scope of human species, Yu Xiaoxiao acted as if nothing had happened. Some zombies looked even more miserable than Chu Qiu. She had seen too many of them. At this moment, Yu Xiaoxiao had only one thought in her mind: This baldy Mo Wen is harming people!
Chuqiu climbed up the stairs extremely quickly and arrived at Yu Xiaoxiao's feet in the blink of an eye.
Yu Xiaoxiao's movements were faster than Chuqiu's. She raised her leg and kicked Chuqiu away.
Chu Qiu fell to the floor of the dungeon, and a piece of muscle on his thigh fell to the ground, revealing the white bones.
Yu Xiaoxiao flew down the stairs, looking like she was going to kill Chu Qiu, but when the princess reached Chu Qiu, she raised her hand and struck towards her left side.
