Ni Yueshan could only say that his idea was wise!
Seeing that Ni Yueshan didn't say anything, the father-in-law laughed and said, "Miss Ni must be a sensible person. You won't blame us for taking action!"
He winked at the palace attendants beside him, and they came forward and stood beside Ni Yueshan. In their hands were finger-torture instruments...
"Miss Ni, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry for offending you!"
The palace servants put the torture instruments on Ni Yueshan's fingers. Ni Yueshan thought that she would not be able to escape this time and would have to suffer, but a voice came from not far away: "Stop!"
Ni Yueshan was startled, he actually woke up.
Ni Yueshan turned around and saw Jing Yuchen, dressed in a dark red robe, walking slowly towards him. There was a hint of anger on his face, and he was full of hostility.
He walked to her side, pulled her up, held her in his arms, and looked at his father-in-law with a serious and sharp gaze.
"You were ordered to leave the palace to investigate the situation and report back truthfully. Who are you trying to scare by torturing someone here?"
Ni Yueshan felt very warm leaning in Jing Yuchen's arms, and a sense of security and protection gradually spread.
The father-in-law didn't expect Jing Yuchen to come, and he was so forced to protect people...
"This old servant has met the Second Prince. However, this Miss Ni is suspected of murdering Concubine Shuang's unborn child. There is witness and evidence, but she refuses to confess. This old servant has no choice but to torture her!"
"Really? Since the witnesses and evidence are all here, why don't you check to see if they're true? Instead of using torture to extract a confession, isn't your method of handling the case quite pleasing?"
The father-in-law lowered his head, not knowing how to defend himself: "Yes, I know I was wrong. I will go and investigate the authenticity of the evidence!"
He walked out quickly, feeling as if he was fleeing in panic.
"He is close to the emperor. Would you offend him by doing this? If he says something bad about you in front of the emperor..."
Ni Yueshan was about to continue chattering, but Jing Yuchen put a finger on her lips and said, "Okay, I dare to do this, so I'm not afraid of offending him."
Ni Yueshan was still a little worried. "I still have no clue about this matter. Uncle He's death is too strange. The person behind this is trying to drag me down and murder Ni Yueshuang at the same time. I haven't figured out who it is yet."
Ni Yueshan continued talking to himself, his brows furrowed as he spoke, looking very conflicted and confused.
"No idea, that's right, leave this matter to me!"
Jing Yuchen raised his lips slightly, looking very confident.
Ni Yueshan looked at him suspiciously: "Why, do you have any clues?"
Jing Yuchen smiled softly: "There must be clues."
He pulled Ni Yueshan outside, and it seemed like they were heading towards Ni Yueshuang's yard?
Ni Yueshan followed him silently, not knowing what he was going to do.
At this moment, a palace servant brought Ni Yueshuang a bowl of medicine. She turned pale and pushed the medicine bowl away, asking, "Did the eunuch go to interrogate Ni Yueshan? Did he use torture?"
The palace maid responded, "Reporting to Concubine Shuang, the eunuch has been gone for a while, and the torture should have been used by now. It's just a minor pain now, but as long as Ni Yueshan confesses, she will be beheaded!"
Ni Yueshuang touched her abdomen, her expression filled with grief: "My child, it was my incompetence that caused you to be harmed. Poor mother, my elder brother, and now you..."
She wiped away two tears silently, and then spoke: "Bring the medicine."
"Princess Shuang, the eunuch is back." A palace maid came in to report. Ni Yueshuang's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she saw the eunuch walking towards her.
"Greetings, Madam Shuangpin. I was supposed to be interrogating the eldest daughter of the Ni family, but the Second Prince showed up and rescued her. So, I had no choice but to come to you first... to report to you that I'm not capable of torturing this man. I'd better return to the palace and report!"
Ni Yueshuang narrowed her eyes: "Aren't all the main gates of the Prime Minister's Mansion already guarded? When did he get in..."
"Eunuch, please bring the evidence and witnesses before the Emperor so that he can issue an order for punishment!"
The witness is Mingyan, and the evidence of the crime is the handwritten letter from military doctor He...
After the eunuch left, Ni Yueshuang's face grew even darker. "Waste, all of you waste! Do you really need me to do this?"
She was about to get out of bed in anger, but the palace maid immediately stopped her, saying, "Please be patient, Madam Shuangpin. Let me go. I will speak up for your unborn little prince. I will teach him a lesson!"
Ni Yueshuang did not refuse and nodded: "Okay, you go!"
The palace maid had just stood up when two people walked in from outside the room.
"So it turns out that the eunuch's torture was at the request of Concubine Shuang!"
When Ni Yueshuang saw Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan, she immediately scolded them, "You two are so bold! Do you think you can barge into my room without permission?"
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshuang sarcastically, "If I hadn't barged in, how would I know that all this was your fault? Did you want to torture me to extract a confession?"
He pulled Ni Yueshan and asked with a smile, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
"The Second Prince is right. If I hadn't trespassed, how could I have seen your sinister side? Madam Shuangpin, I understand your grief over the loss of your beloved son, but you're trying to use this opportunity to drag me down with you. Isn't that a bit despicable?"
"The evidence is all there, and you can't prove your innocence. So what if we torture you?"
Ni Yueshuang became excited: "And you, Second Prince, I am now the Frost Concubine, the Emperor's woman. You brought people in without knowing etiquette, so it is only right that I punish you!"
Anger was evident on Ni Yueshuang's pale face. She gritted her teeth, and her eyes were filled with hatred. Where was the slightest trace of the tenderness she had once admired?
