Di Jingling gave a blank "hmm".
Xiao Tang immediately had someone help Lord Wei into the carriage. When she reached out to take Lord Wei's pulse, her hand was grabbed by the man halfway through.
Why did you arrest me?
"He has a problem with his leg, you don't need to touch him."
Xiao Tang was baffled.
[Perhaps it's... this damn possessiveness?]
She was about to reach out and touch Lord Wei's trouser leg when her hand was pulled away halfway.
Xiao Tang was driven to the brink of mental collapse.
She stared at him in disbelief.
"Don't touch him. If you want to do something, just tell Yan Jiu to do it."
Yan Jiu stood to the side, watching everything unfold, and found it all quite amusing.
He had nothing to say.
He had already realized the Regent's intentions.
This is clearly a way of saying they don't want the princess to touch other men, but they're unwilling to explain it directly.
Left with no other choice, he said to Xiao Tang, "Your Highness, please leave it to me."
Xiao Tang touched the cold sweat on her forehead.
[I'm completely baffled by your crazy tactics.]
[So why are you suddenly making me treat Lord Wei's illness? You won't let me touch this part or that part.]
The man suddenly gave her a dangerous look.
Xiao Tang secretly withdrew her outstretched claw halfway through.
Your eyes...it looks like you want to kill me?
With a "rip," Lord Wei's trouser leg was violently torn open by Yan Jiu.
Yan Jiu's actions of tearing his clothes were remarkably similar to those of his master.
They were all brutal!
What I'm saying is, let's not be so rough!
However, at this moment, Xiao Tang only saw the necrotic flesh on Lord Wei's leg.
She poked it with a stick.
"I don't feel anything." Lord Wei gasped a few times, feeling quite frustrated. "In fact, I didn't expect this old body of mine to deteriorate so quickly."
Xiao Tang calmly showed him the necrotic tissue on her leg.
I thought the system would give me a notification, like I'd get extra points after recovering...
But so far, the system has remained silent.
Xiao Tang knew that it seemed there would be no points to earn from this order.
Left with no other option, she had to cut off a piece of necrotic flesh from the old man's body, intending to conduct a mandatory systemic monitoring to check for bacterial infection or other issues.
However……
[Beep beep, side quest: Please refuse to treat Lord Wei's leg.]
【？？？】
[Host, please immediately stop treating Lord Wei. This is a friendly warning from the system.]
The joke has gone too far, so let it go.
[Host, this person belongs to the male protagonist in the book.]
Xiao Tang looked at Di Jingling in surprise.
He was looking at her too.
Their eyes met.
Those deep, dark eyes were like an abyss gazing at her.
Xiao Tang couldn't quite understand what this major villain meant.
"Lord Wei's leg... I'm afraid it can't be cured."
Never mind, I'll just refuse for now.
[Ding, host, you will receive 100 points for each refusal.]
[How stingy! Such a small amount of points, is this for a beggar?] Xiao Tang was very angry, and the consequences would be severe.
Her expression held a hint of anger, which left Lord Wei dumbfounded.
Lord Wei asked, trembling, "Princess Regent, although my leg is beyond cure, you don't need to be so angry, do you?"
Being angry is one thing, but the rage in his eyes made it seem like he might chop off his legs at any moment.
Di Jingling suddenly grasped Xiao Tang's hand, "Since my beloved consort has said so, then we will not treat her."
Huh?
Huh?
Is the main villain using me to test Lord Wei?
Lord Wei was also bewildered, and asked hesitantly, "What...what's wrong with it?"
He had barely opened his mouth when the Regent kicked him off the carriage.
"My carriage is dirty." After kicking the person off the carriage, Di Jingling frowned slightly, his disgust undisguised on his face.
Lord Wei, who had been kicked off the carriage, looked utterly devastated as he stared at Di Jingling in astonishment.
He must have been really angry; his hands were trembling.
But they dared not speak out against their anger.
He patted his thigh, looking like an old man who had been bullied.
"Your Majesty, what have I done wrong?"
"Why treat me like this..."
He was howling and slapping his thighs.
Because of the commotion, and because it happened at the palace gate, passing guards and palace staff couldn't help but take a second look.
Di Jingling looked down at him and said, "Yan Jiu, take him away."
The person was arrested.
Xiao Tang's gaze shifted from astonishment to deep thought.
"Would you like to see the results of the interrogation?" He asked casually, perhaps sensing her confusion.
Xiao Tang lazily raised her eyebrows. "Your Majesty... I want to see!"
【I'm confused. Did you suddenly want me to look at your legs? Or do you not want me to look at your legs?】
[Could it be that they already knew Lord Wei was a henchman of Di Yanhen, and deliberately lured him here?]
The more I think about it, the more something seems off!
Were we tricked into coming here, and based on her reaction, could we determine if Lord Wei was an accomplice?
[A cunning and ruthless villain!]
Aside from being cunning, she couldn't think of any other fault.
She followed the man into the dark dungeon.
The Dark Prison was set up by Emperor Jingling's Ghost Army. It was a secret trial that did not require trial by the Dali Temple. People were directly imprisoned in the Dark Prison for trial.
Now that Emperor Jingling is going to interrogate these special ministers, no one can stop him.
The dungeon was very dark.
Only the dim candlelight flickered on the walls.
Several moths flew onto the fire.
The entire passageway was filled with a sinister atmosphere.
[Countless people have died here, holy crap!]
The villain's methods of killing are extraordinary; those hiding here will meet an even more gruesome end.
