Chapter 299: Run! The Earth is Shaking!
Aunt Rong nodded, then she looked at Su Wanyan and said, "Those two were once Madam's bodyguards..."
"What?!" Su Wanyan was shocked. Those two hidden guards were the original owner's mother's men? "Did you see it clearly? Are you sure?"
Aunt Rong and Shaoyao nodded at the same time, "We can see it clearly, we can confirm it."
Su Wanyan frowned, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked at Xiaowu, "Have those two been tortured?"
Xiao Wu nodded, "It's moving, but it hasn't been tortured yet."
This means that the secret guards have not had time to interrogate him.
Su Wanyan walked in, "Madam Rong, you and Shaoyao, don't follow me. Xiaowu, come with me to see how the interrogation is going."
Aunt Rong and Shaoyao hurriedly stopped.
Xiao Wu followed immediately, "Yes."
Xiao Wu brought Su Wanyan to the dungeon. There was no light in the dungeon all year round, and it was very humid. It was dark and cold when he walked in.
Su Wanyan was seriously skeptical and told her uncle that he bought the mansion because he suddenly discovered it. It was just a casual remark of his. Even the dungeon looked like it was used all year round. How could it be vacant for a long time and no one had lived in it?
However, when muffled groans were heard from the dungeon from time to time, Su Wanyan's thoughts were drawn away. She took a few quick steps and came to a cell in the deepest part of the dungeon. Two people were imprisoned inside. Both were tied up, with whip marks of various sizes on their bodies. The skin exposed by the torn clothes was bloody and mangled.
The two men's faces were pale, their heads drooped, and their breathing was not obvious.
This...isn't torture? Judging from the situation, if the beating continues, I'm afraid the man will be beaten to death, right?
However, Su Wanyan had seen more perverted interrogation methods when she was on a mission in her previous life. After seeing it, she only frowned slightly and did not stop the secret guard who was still swinging the whip.
Xiao Wu kept an eye on the little princess's expression. Seeing that she only looked unhappy at first but soon regained her composure, he felt a little relieved.
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
The two secret guards in charge of the interrogation in the cell stopped and saluted when they heard the movements of the two women.
Su Wanyan waved her hand, signaling them to continue the interrogation and ignore her.
The secret guards received the order and turned around without wasting any time to continue whipping. Then, the sound of gasps could be heard again in the cell.
Su Wanyan stared at the two pale faces. Logically speaking, if these two people had appeared next to the original owner's mother, the original owner would not have had no impression of them.
But she stared at it for a long time and didn't see any sense of familiarity, so she couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Wu heard the little princess's laughter and asked worriedly, "My queen, are you feeling uncomfortable watching this? Otherwise, should we go out first?"
Su Wanyan was about to reply when the dungeon suddenly shook. She and Xiaowu both staggered and almost fell.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Xiao Wu didn't care that he hadn't stood firmly yet, and quickly reached out to support the little princess.
Su Wanyan quickly held onto the cell door and comforted Xiaowu, "I'm fine. Is this... an earthquake?"
Xiao Wu was very nervous. "My Lady, whether it's true or not, I'll take you up first. It's dangerous here."
Su Wanyan didn't try to be stubborn and followed them out obediently, thinking that the shaking was just an illusion. But when they returned outside, they saw Rong Mama and Shaoyao running towards them, shouting, "Empress, run! The ground is shaking!"
