Chapter 305: In the next life, don’t stand in other people’s way!
His pupils contracted violently.
When Ye Zheng saw this, he knew what he had seen and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng's face turned pale. He looked up at them, then lowered his head to look at the roster in front of him, only to find that there was a line crossed out on the three words "Si Nanyan".
He said in a hoarse voice: "What's going on?"
Ye Zheng glanced down, then said calmly, "Oh, it's a misunderstanding."
"What misunderstanding?"
"The jailer thought she had died from the severe punishment, so he wrote her name here."
“…”
"It was later discovered that she had simply passed out."
“…”
"So—for now, cross her name out."
Zhu Feng's face was pale as if he had lost blood. He was silent for a long time, then picked up a pen and ticked the list.
Ye Zheng retreated from the imperial study.
The door closed, and he lowered his head and glanced at the name he had added.
Under normal circumstances, Zhu Feng would definitely be able to tell that it was his own handwriting, but just now, he couldn't tell it at all, as if he had lost his soul.
Ye Zheng let out a deep breath.
They were not allowed to enter the prison, so now, he didn't know what happened to Nan Yan in the prison, but now, this was all he could do.
He clutched the roster in his hand and turned to leave.
And just after he left the imperial study, the news quickly spread to the harem.
In Yinghua Hall, Wu Wan's brows were twisted into a knot.
Ever since she saw Zhu Feng allow Ye Zheng to enter the imperial study yesterday, she felt a little uneasy, so she asked people in the palace to keep an eye on Ye Zheng's movements at all times.
This person is Zhu Feng's confidant.
Although they were considered his masters, in reality, even the queen never really regarded him as a servant.
It is difficult to control what this person wants to do.
Now, what she is most worried about is that Ye Zheng will ruin this matter.
Gao Yurong said worriedly, "Your Majesty, Ye Zheng is so busy running around, is he really trying to rescue all those palace maids from prison?"
Wu Wan was silent for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care about the life or death of those palace maids at all."
“…”
"But Sinanyan, you can't leave the prison alive!"

The night is dark.
In the prison, the originally dark passage was illuminated by fire again.
Nan Yan had fallen into a deep coma due to the serious injuries on her body, when suddenly, her cell door was opened again.
Several ferocious-looking jailers rushed in and dragged her up.
Nan Yan woke up in shock and asked, "What are you guys going to do?!"
She had been tortured several times in the past few days, but she knew that these people would not torture others at night, and they had already tortured her during the day, so why did they do it again at night?
The jailers dragged her out of the cage alone and tied her to the rack again, but this time, they picked up not whips or sticks, but blood-stained iron chains and put them around her neck and limbs.
Nan Yan felt something was wrong.
She wanted to struggle, but she was covered in wounds and had no strength left. She could only shout with all her might, "Let me go! What are you doing!?"
The ferocious faces of these jailers looked even more like evil spirits in the dim light.
They grinned and said, "Why? You should thank us."
“…”
"Originally, you were going to suffer for a few more days, but today, we're helping you get relief sooner."
“…”
"Lady Si, in your next life, don't get in other people's way!"
After saying that, he tightened the chain!
