Back at the princess's residence, his feet were already a bloody mess...
Nightshade closed his eyes as he thought about these things, becoming even more determined to seize this opportunity to climb the ranks. Once he succeeded, no one would be able to order him around anymore.
As Dugu Jue carried Chu Yuan past Ye Ying, who was bowing respectfully, he forcefully pressed Chu Yuan's head into his arms and warned in a low voice, "If you're going to protect someone, then protect them properly. You'd better keep any inappropriate thoughts to yourself, or you'll bear the consequences!"
Night Shadow lowered his head, a fleeting glint of darkness in his eyes.
But he probably never imagined that his undercover career would end so quickly.
The reason was simply that Chu Yuan had a dream in which her most beloved son, Ye Ye, said he missed her very much…
Therefore, after waking up, Chu Yuan shook Dugu Ling awake.
The latter rubbed his eyes. "Yuan'er, so early?"
This is strange. Ever since Yuan'er became pregnant, she has been very sleepy, sometimes sleeping for half a day.
Could it be that the drowsy period has passed?
Thinking this, Dugu Ling suddenly became excited. He slid one hand up from Chu Yuan's abdomen, but the next second, Chu Yuan grabbed him and said, "Dugu Ling, do me a favor, and I promise you'll get what you want tonight."
Dugu Ling smiled gently, "Yuan'er, you don't need to make a deal with me like this. Just tell me what you want to do."
Chu Yuan asked, "What do you think are the chances that if we arrest Ye Ying and torture him severely, he will reveal who is behind it and what his purpose is?"
"Huh?" Now it was Dugu Ling's turn to be confused.
What should I do if I feel that this problem with Yuan'er doesn't fall within his scope of knowledge?
Almost as soon as his mind started thinking, his body had already made its choice. After a moment of confusion, he sat up, bypassed Chu Yuan, and rolled off the bed. "You want to interrogate Ye Ying? Fine, I've wanted to do that for a long time. With my methods, it's not just impossible, it's certain!"
As he spoke, he started to walk out, his facial muscles twitching twice: "Dugu Ling, please don't sleep in the bed like a girl next time, it's so embarrassing!"
Night Shadow's skills are quite good, especially his swordsmanship, which makes him difficult to match even among Ji Yun.
He could even be ranked among the top martial arts masters in the world. Otherwise, given Ji Yunyuan's arrogant personality, how could she have chosen him as her personal bodyguard?
However, even so, he was still chased by Dugu Jue for a whole day and night before being captured.
Dugu Jue always felt a strange sense of anticipation and excitement when it came to killing. This time, knowing that he couldn't kill the person he had caught, he changed his strategy.
In short: It's a cat-and-mouse game, during which Nightshade gets thoroughly tormented.
That blind fool dared to come all this way to steal his woman; let him run all he wants!
When Chu Yuan saw Ye Ying again in the dungeon, she almost didn't recognize him.
The man's two straight, long legs were twisted at a strange angle. His body was fine, with no obvious injuries, but his face was haggard and lifeless, as if he would die at any moment.
"You've already tortured him?" Chu Yuan asked Dugu Jue.
The latter leaned back lazily in his chair, closing his eyes to rest: "No."
Chu Yuan didn't believe it; Ye Ying's behavior was too different from her normal self!
She glanced at Dugu Jue's servant, Tong Zhan.
The latter clenched her hands and took a step back. "Princess Consort, please speak with His Highness. I know nothing."
There was definitely no whipping or anything like that.
But His Highness's methods... Tong Zhan felt his hands and feet go cold just recalling them.
Fortunately, he was always loyal to His Highness. Even though he found His Highness to be strange, sometimes as gentle as a spring breeze and sometimes as wicked as a demon, he never told anyone.
Thinking of this, the child warrior quietly looked up and glanced at Chu Yuan, who was walking towards the night shadow.
She must be the most beautiful woman in the world. With her sharing the prince's secret, his life, which had been dark for almost ten years, suddenly became bright.
Of course, Tong Zhan was surprised to find that since His Highness and she had been together, their distinct and opposite attributes had become increasingly blurred.
Sometimes he could hardly tell whether His Highness was having an attack or not!
"Night Shadow, wake up," Chu Yuan called out.
Unfortunately, she was completely unconscious, and we couldn't hear her cries at all.
Chu Yuan was pregnant and didn't have much patience to begin with. "You're not waking up, are you? Tong Zhan, bring over a basin of ice water and pour it on her to wake her up!"
She doesn't need to show any mercy to a heartless scumbag.
Tong Zhan obeyed, but was surprised. Why was the Crown Princess suddenly angry?
Isn't this her? And she was perfectly fine yesterday.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Jue's reaction was completely different from Tong Zhan's. Almost as soon as Chu Yuan finished speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Are we about to begin the interrogation?"
It was that inexplicable excitement again.
Chu Yuan sighed helplessly, "Dugu Jue, you're a monster. Only things like killing and bloodshed can get you excited, right?"
The man stood up from his chair, took a couple of steps, and looked down at Chu Yuan.
"You misspoke, there's one more thing."
"What?"
As soon as she asked the question, Chu Yuan instinctively shrank back upon seeing Dugu Jue's suddenly dark red eyes.
Oh no, I've gotten myself into trouble again.
Through these days of fighting in bed, Chu Yuan knew all too well what this meant. Her lips trembled, "I was wrong. This is a dungeon. Let's do... serious business first."
Dugu Jue looked around. "What's wrong with the dungeon? I feel... it has a unique atmosphere!"
Chu Yuan, "..."
In the end, she agreed to let him interrogate Nightshade, which prevented him from lingering over her in the dungeon...
Chu Yuan ran away as fast as she could, letting Dugu Jue do whatever he wanted to Ye Ying. As long as she got the information she wanted, that would be enough.
