Chapter 219 Minister Lin: Zhizhi feels bitter in his heart, but dares not say it! Nor can he say it!
After Xue Zhirou and Yan Bitong were taken to the special prison of Dali Temple, they were imprisoned separately.
And in order to prevent Xue Zhirou from having the opportunity to inform Zhao Taiyang of her current situation through the unique connection of witchcraft.
Minister Lin specially dispatched several maids from his family to serve Xue Zhirou.
Not only is the cell decorated very comfortably, with bedding, gauze curtains, and tea sets, even the cakes are freshly baked, and there are flowers and green plants.
Except for the iron door, the whole cell looks no different from the bedroom of a wealthy family.
At the same time, Minister Lin also specifically instructed the maid to massage Xue Zhirou's shoulders and calves from time to time.
This operation made Xue Zhirou relax her vigilance and feel that her previous guess was correct.
She and Yan Bitong were just going through the motions. After the prince dealt with the gossipers outside, they would be able to get out smoothly.
The careful arrangement of the cell alone showed the prince's good intentions.
So, she relaxed and enjoyed herself in the prison. She didn't even think about contacting Zhao Taiyang, and she didn't have any free time to take action.
Because no matter what she did, there were maids by her side.
However, she just enjoyed herself and didn't think about being monitored at all.
Compared with Xue Zhirou's comfort, Yan Bitong's situation was much worse.
Minister Lin deliberately imprisoned Yan Bitong in a prison full of bloodstains.
First, he put invisible pressure on Yan Bitong psychologically.
At the same time, the moment she entered the prison, the secret guard quickly pressed the acupuncture points on her body, making her unable to move.
Then, the imperial physician appeared.
The imperial physician carefully examined the box of food and Yan Bitong's hands.
The result of the examination was as expected by the prince.
After the imperial physician's examination, there was indeed no problem with the box of food.
But on Yan Bitong's right hand, something similar to an ointment was found.
After careful investigation, the imperial physician discovered that the ointment contained extremely strong blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs.
For safety reasons, the imperial physician also specially found a pregnant mouse for testing.
After taking the ointment-like substance, the mouse died of hemorrhage in less than half a minute.
This evidence of rape fully confirmed Yan Bitong's intention to harm the Crown Princess and the unborn baby, which also made the Crown Princess completely give up on her.
Just pretend that there is no such mother and little sister!
However, Minister Lin encountered difficulties in the interrogation of Yan Bitong.
No matter how Minister Lin threatened and tempted her, including using the method of sunbathing to almost make her sick, even so, Yan Bitong was still unwilling to tell where Zhao Taiyang was!
This made Minister Lin feel pressured.
Who would have thought that a twelve-year-old girl could do this to a person she had only met a few times.
Is it really as the old sister said, that Yan Bitong attaches so much importance to the identity of the heir of the Nanzhao royal family?
Minister Lin could never have imagined that it was his act of sunbathing that forced Yan Bitong, a delicate and weak woman, to grit her teeth and not dare to speak out.
Because she thought that since the fact that she had a strange problem had been exposed, she had no room to survive in the Southern Dynasty.
Staying in the Southern Dynasty would only bring humiliation to her.
Only by returning to Nanzhao could she live like a normal person!
So, no matter what Minister Lin did, she couldn't speak out.
And she was confident that as a descendant of the royal family of Nanzhao, the Southern Dynasty would never kill her easily.
In addition, her only hope of returning to Nanzhao alive was Zhao Taiyang!
Therefore, it was even more impossible for her to expose it!
While Minister Lin was interrogating Yan Bitong, a fast horse carrying an 800-li express went straight to the palace.
This person was a soldier of the Eastern Army, and he brought evidence of Nanzhao raping women from the Southern Dynasty to the emperor.
Emperor Jin Yuan was also waiting for this quick report.
During the morning court session, my sister mentioned that the news of the Eastern Army would reach the capital in the afternoon.
Therefore, Emperor Jin Yuan was waiting in the Xuanzheng Hall for the whole afternoon. There were
also many court generals waiting together!
Even the army and supplies have begun to be prepared in an orderly manner!
It can be seen that Emperor Jin Yuan is going to take real action against Nanzhao this time!
As long as the solid evidence of Nanzhao robbing women from the Southern Dynasty is received, together with the evidence of what Zhao Taiyang has done in recent years, the Southern Dynasty will have a full reason to ask Nanzhao for an explanation.
And this time, Emperor Jin Yuan does not intend to use courtesy before force as he did before to treat Nanjiang.
Nan Zhao was caught in the act of kidnapping and being captured. He had no excuses at all.
So, while the people of the capital were still immersed in the shock of the technical job notices and bizarre stories, the Southern Dynasty court was undercurrents, waiting for the right time to draw their swords and point them directly at Nan Zhao!
And the key to this opportunity lies in Zhao Taiyang.
As a result, Minister Lin, who was urged by Emperor Jin Yuan, was under greater pressure.
This fake overtime not only upgraded to real staying up late to work overtime, but also the difficulty upgraded...
Minister Lin: I feel bitter in my heart, but I dare not say it! And I can't say it!
Taking advantage of the gap between dinner, Minister Lin, who finally got a break, began to cheer himself up in his heart.
Thinking that he would be able to present good news to His Majesty early tomorrow morning, he imagined His Majesty's joy after hearing the news, and his endless praise for him, as well as the envy in the eyes of other colleagues, and their endless compliments to him. He felt so happy in his heart.
Even the fatigue brought by the interrogation for an afternoon seemed to be swept away.
The fire in his heart for the people suddenly burned fiercely again!
Come on!
Staying up late can't defeat him!
He is loyal to the people, and a mere Yan Bitong is no problem at all!
Once he captures Zhao Taiyang, won't he have nowhere to escape?
Hahahaha!
However, dreams are beautiful, but reality, well... is quite cruel...
The next morning, Minister Lin had two big dark circles under his eyes, looking at Yan Bitong who had fainted in front of him, with a look of despair on his face...
After staying up all night, he still couldn't pry open Yan Bitong's mouth! !
Dali Temple had already used one-third of the "Eighteen Martial Arts", but Yan Bitong just managed to hold on.
Of course, Minister Lin was afraid of killing her, so he still paid some attention to the strength of his hands and did not fully exert the full strength of the "Martial Arts".
Despite this, it was still a lot of pain for a twelve-year-old girl who had been raised to be spoiled since childhood.
But this child was stubborn and refused to reveal any news about Zhao Taiyang! It gave Minister Lin a headache.
Obviously, she could have suffered less if she had spoken out, but she endured it for such a selfish Zhao Taiyang.
What on earth was Zhao Taiyang doing that made her do this?
Well, forget it. I can only go to court first and report the situation to His Majesty to see how His Majesty decides.
Minister Lin couldn't help sighing in his heart. The praise from His Majesty, the flattery from his colleagues, and the scene of being treated like a star by everyone seemed to be moving away from him...
Minister Lin shook his dizzy head, sorted out his mood, and was about to wash his face and rest for a while, but he went to court with dark circles under his eyes.
At this time, soldiers outside the door hurriedly came to report that there was news suspected of Zhao Taiyang.
