Chapter 420 Are you not afraid of Huo Yan anymore?
Chunzhi just looked at Rendong without saying anything.
Honeysuckle felt that the princess's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making her previous words of excuses seem like an attempt to cover up the truth.
In fact, as early as the moment Huo Yan vomited blood and a person as good-tempered as Rendong actually scolded Gu Yuanjia on the spot, Chunzhi realized that Rendong was not as afraid of Huo Yan as she thought.
Rendong and Huo Yan may have feelings for each other that they themselves are not aware of.
Chunzhi didn't reveal Rendong's thoughts, but only said to her: "Then you can live in Huo Yan's side room. It's closer and you can treat him nearby."
Honeysuckle replied "yes".
Seeing that she agreed so quickly, Chunzhi couldn't help but ask, "Are you not afraid of Huo Yan anymore?"
"I'm afraid," Ren Dong said honestly, "but Huo Yan has already come to Xizhou. Where else can I hide?"
That’s true.
Moreover, Chunzhi felt that there was no need for Rendong to hide now.
This is Xizhou. With her and Huo Zheng here, can't they protect Honeysuckle?
"What's more—" Rendong slowly raised her head and looked towards the room where Huo Yan was. "Although I was the one who told the princess about his whereabouts, I only did it to protect myself. I didn't exchange it for any money or benefits, and he was never hurt. Since I met him, I treated his injuries and saved his life. I have never done him any wrong, and I don't owe him anything."
In recent years, Jindong has been devoted to practicing medicine and saving lives. He sees so many births, old age, sickness and death every day, and his mind and perspectives have broadened a lot.
Apart from the initial panic when he saw Huo Yan appear in front of him this morning, he had gradually suppressed his fear and panic, and now the only thing left was how to save people.
Chunzhi was quite relieved to hear Rendong say this, "It's good that you think this way."
Honeysuckle used to be afraid of Huo Yan.
Because she was a commoner girl, but Huo Yan was the noble Ninth Prince.
I, a humble girl, had the misfortune to witness the Ninth Prince at his most miserable and destitute. Even though I had saved his life, I would still be terrified by his vicious threats, fearing that he would kill me to silence me.
So much so that even after several years of separation, Rendong still had nightmares because of Huo Yan.
Fortunately, there is a princess.
The princess treated her very well and supported her in opening a clinic, turning her from an ordinary person into a well-known little doctor in Xizhou City.
Knowing that the prince and princess were there, Rendong would not let Huo Yan do anything reckless.
This made her feel at ease, and when she felt at ease she could treat illnesses and save lives well.
As a result, I am not so afraid of Huo Yan anymore.
Chunzhi talked to Rendong for a while, and then asked her to consult with the doctors to examine Huo Yan.
On the other side, there is a secret prison in the palace.
The empty dungeon suddenly became crowded because of the detention of Eunuch Sun and others.
There was no sunlight in the dark cell, only the flickering light of fire.
When Huo Zheng, Gu Yuanjia and others entered the cell, Jiang He and others had already tied Eunuch Sun to the rack and were cutting open his flesh one knife at a time.
The dagger was sharp. The moment it slashed past, flesh and blood flew everywhere and blood kept flowing.
The flickering flames reflected the bloody color, and the people from the capital were terrified.
At the beginning, Eunuch Sun scolded Prince Chang'an for disobeying the imperial order and must have the intention of rebellion. If the Queen knew about this, she would definitely punish him severely!
Jiang He didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. He took the dagger and cut the flesh from Eunuch Sun with his own hands.
This kind of torture was invented by the eunuchs.
Now it is used on the eunuchs themselves.
It's retribution.
After being stabbed more than a dozen times, Eunuch Sun couldn't bear the pain and kept screaming and wailing, "How dare you do this to me? I want to see the King of Chang'an! The King of Chang'an!"
When those who followed Eunuch Sun from the capital saw such torture, their faces turned pale, fearing that they would be the next.
No matter how Eunuch Sun shouted, Jiang He and the others had no intention of reporting to the prince.
They have been working with the prince for many years. How could they let the man surnamed Sun say he wanted to see the prince before they got any information out of him?
Don't even look at where this place is.
Jiang He only said: "Eunuch Sun, tell me what you know first."
Eunuch Sun originally wanted to make a joke and said that he would only tell Prince Chang'an, but the knife kept falling and he really couldn't hold on any longer, so he told him that the emperor had died in the hunting ground in Xishan, and the empress had fainted on the spot after learning of the emperor's death. She was now seriously ill and bedridden. Prince Rui was in control of the government and wanted to summon Prince Chang'an back to the capital to attend the funeral. But he was worried that Prince Chang'an would not want to return to the capital after learning of the changes in the capital, so he forged a letter of imperial decree from the empress to send him to Xizhou to announce the decree.
Jiang He asked someone to bring paper and pen, and asked Eunuch Sun to write a confession by hand and sign it.
When Huo Zheng brought Gu Yuanjia and others in, Eunuch Sun had just put his bloody handprint on the door. Jiang He presented the confession, "Please review it, Your Highness."
After Huo Zheng finished reading the confession, he looked at Eunuch Sun with a dark gaze and said in a deep voice, "Huo Yang murdered my father and plotted to usurp the throne. Were you also involved?"
"Your servant... Your servant dare not." Upon hearing this, Eunuch Sun knelt down. "Your servant did not accompany the emperor to the hunting grounds in Xishan. I only know that the emperor died in Xishan and that when he returned, only a disfigured corpse remained. Prince Rui sent me with the empress's decree to summon Prince Chang'an back to the capital. That's all I know. Even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to help Prince Rui usurp the throne!"
Eunuch Sun was probably in real pain, and he cried miserably, "This slave has told me everything I know. The other slaves really don't know! Your Majesty, please spare my life! Please spare my life!"
It was so tragic that Huo Zheng couldn't bear to listen to it anymore. He raised his hand and signaled the guards to take Eunuch Sun away. "Stop the bleeding. Don't let him die like this."
He and Huo Yang still have many tough battles and verbal battles to fight next.
Eunuch Sun is one of the witnesses and is still useful.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards responded and took Eunuch Sun away to treat his wounds and stop the bleeding.
Although Jiang He was ruthless when he tortured Eunuch Sun, he avoided the vital parts, so Eunuch Sun was in as much pain as a pig being slaughtered. He was stabbed more than ten times but he did not die or faint.
A chilly wind blew gently in the dark cell, and the lights flickered. Huo Zheng turned and looked at the other people in the cell. "What do you have to say?"
The people all said that Prince Chang'an was kind and benevolent, and was a rare wise king in the world.
Only those who oppose him know that Huo Zheng has a heart that loves the people and has ruthless methods.
Previously in Nanzhou, on Ning Wang's territory, he dared to kill Ning Wang's son with his own hands. After returning to Beijing, he was regarded as a serious threat by the royal family and was punished by the emperor with a hundred lashes, but he did not change his style.
He could kill any member of the royal family without a word, let alone someone who came to harm him.
At this time, Huo Zheng just asked this question slowly.
However, the people who came from the capital knew that if they didn't say anything at this time, they would never have the chance to speak again.
So these people rushed to speak: "I, I will tell you!"
