"I will only give you a quarter of an hour. If I still can't see him after a quarter of an hour, you don't have to be the steward anymore. Just bring your head to me." He looked at the person kneeling on the ground indifferently, and there seemed to be a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Xuanyuan Che was forcibly suppressing his anger. Once he started killing people, he would not be able to stop. And when that time came, no one present would survive.
Manager Xu's face turned terribly pale. He knew Xuanyuan Che would definitely do what he said, and that was why he was even more afraid.
The cell is very large, and it would take a while to finish flipping through the booklet, let alone a quarter of an hour, or even an hour. By then, everything would be over.
He slumped to the ground, feeling like everything was over.
Fortunately, the young eunuch did not disappoint his expectations. After a while, he came running in front of him, panting, and knelt down with a plop. "Your Majesty, Miss Tang is in the dungeon. I will take you there."
"lead the way."
Xuanyuan Che clenched his fingers, veins popped out on his forehead, and he looked like an angry lion.
The young eunuch did not dare to delay and trotted to the dungeon.
The dungeon, as the name suggests, is an underground cage. It is damp and humid there, and there are often cockroaches and rats. How could she, who is so delicate, bear it?
Xuanyuan Che walked faster and faster, and the young eunuch did not dare to stop and could only run faster and faster.
It took them about half a quarter of an hour to reach the cell door.
Then, Xuanyuan Che saw a scene that made him want to tear his eyes apart.
The thin girl, wearing clothes soaked in blood, looked as pale as paper and her face was covered with sweat. Two eunuchs were about to cut her face with a knife. There was a picture frame next to her.
He knew what they were going to do and could no longer bear it, so he walked over and cut off the two men's hands with two swords.
The two men didn't react for a while, but later when the broken arms started bleeding, they began to wail in pain. They had fierce looks on their faces, but when they turned around, they saw Xuanyuan Che with a gloomy face. They were so frightened that they didn't care about being angry at all.
The short and fat eunuch could not bear the pressure and pain for a moment and fainted. Xuanyuan Che then cut off his other hand, waking him up in pain.
Tang Wan felt a little relieved when she knew Xuanyuan Che had arrived. Finally, she had waited for something.
She couldn't hold on and fainted.
Xuanyuan Che first dealt with the two people temporarily, then wiped the blood off his face, threw the sword aside, and used trembling hands to test her breathing.
Her breathing was weak, but she was still breathing. He relaxed a lot instantly. He didn't know why he was so angry, but when he looked at the girl who was tortured beyond recognition, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles, making it hard for him to breathe.
He didn't know that this was an emotion called heartache.
He carefully picked up the girl on the ground. She was very light, like a withered flower, as if she would lose her life in the next second.
He didn't dare to delay any longer and hurriedly took her back to the bedroom. The imperial physician had been waiting for a long time.
Under Xuanyuan Che's anxious gaze, Doctor Shen stroked his beard, his brow furrowed so tightly that it could kill a fly. "Your Majesty, this woman was already in poor health, and she's been tortured for three days. There's not a single healthy spot on her body, and she's also running a high fever. I'm afraid she's in great danger."
Xuanyuan Che asked with red eyes: "How can we cure her?"
Doctor Shen sighed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, I will prescribe a medicine for you. If she can survive tonight, she can be saved. If not, then we can only leave it to fate."
"good."
Xuanyuan Che held her slender hand and said, "Wake up for me. Don't fall asleep. Do you hear me?"
In his eyes, something tiny and sparkling flashed by.
Perhaps he himself did not want to admit that he did not want her to die. As for the reason, it was not just because of those dreams and her smell.
He stayed with Tang Wan the entire night without saying a word. He just stared at her blankly, like a child who had lost his candy.
Tang Wan woke up at noon the next day. Xuanyuan Che couldn't help falling asleep because of running around and staying up late. There was stubble on his chin and faint dark circles under his eyes.
Tang Wan raised her hand, wanting to touch his face.
Xuanyuan Che woke up instantly. He looked at Tang Wan who had woken up in front of him with an expression that could be described as crying with joy. He quickly called in the imperial physician.
"Your Majesty, Miss Tang is out of danger. Take good care of your injuries and you will recover in time."
"Okay, okay, I'll reward you handsomely."
Xuanyuan Che rewarded Doctor Shen with a large number of treasures, which frightened Doctor Shen so much that he repeatedly declined: "Your Majesty, these treasures are too valuable."
"You rescued my most precious treasure. This is what you deserve."
Doctor Shen couldn't refuse, so he had to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I thank you for your grace."
Xuanyuan Che just waved his hand casually. Now that Tang Wan woke up, his worries were resolved, so he should also deal with certain things and certain people.
…………
The imperial concubine has been fidgeting since Xuanyuan Che returned yesterday: "Qiuxi, what should I do? What if His Majesty really cares about that little bitch?"
"Your Majesty, calm down. She is just a palace maid. How can she compare to your precious body? His Majesty has never come to see you, which means that His Majesty is just playing with her."
The imperial concubine gradually calmed down under her persuasion, so when she was lying on the imperial concubine couch eating grapes, she never expected that Xuanyuan Che would suddenly visit her.
She was so flustered that the grapes on the plate fell all over the floor.
"Your Highness is in such a good mood." The expression on Xuanyuan Che's face was gloomy.
She tried to put on a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."
That smile looked so stiff, and it was obvious that he was guilty.
Xuanyuan Che took a step forward, grabbed her neck with one hand, watched her face turn purple due to lack of oxygen, then let go and threw her to the ground.
"Who do you think you are to touch her?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... cough cough cough cough cough cough."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she started coughing. Tears welled up in my eyes and she looked so pitiful.
But Xuanyuan Che could not feel any sympathy for her at all. She was a vicious and scheming woman.
He looked down at her, his thin lips parted slightly, "Your Highness, for committing treason, shall be punished with twenty strokes of the cane and confinement for three months."
Twenty sticks are enough to take half a person's life, but it is far from enough!
He thought of the suffering his daughter Jiaojiao had endured. If he could not break up with the Prime Minister now, he would have wanted to kill the woman in front of him.
The imperial concubine knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly. Her beautiful face was distorted and looked particularly hideous. "Your Majesty, I have done nothing wrong, Your Majesty..."
Xuanyuan Che turned and walked away, ignoring her cries. He simply replied, "It seems that the imperial concubine has no intention of changing her ways. Then give her five more sticks."
That night, everyone in the palace could hear the concubine's cries, which were shrill and desperate, like an evil ghost demanding her life, which was simply chilling.
