Chapter 284: Tough
Zhao Yimu was shocked when he saw the manuscript in the hands of the black-clad woman in front of him: "Why is my manuscript in your hands?"
Rong Qi snorted, "Since you've admitted it, then tell me who ordered you to write these filthy things to slander the prince and princess."
Zhao Yimu still didn't understand anything at this time, and cursed:
"It turns out that it was the treacherous concubine and the unfeeling prince who captured me. You lackeys who aided and abetted the evil, you are the ones who harmed Sijing.
The truth I wrote was withheld by you, and so many people are left unaware of the truth!
They were all deceived by the hypocritical Prince Liang!"
Zhao Yimu cried heartbrokenly: "Oh God, please open your eyes and look at this. How can such a morally corrupt person be admired by so many people?"
Rong Yi frowned as he listened and glanced behind him secretly.
Xie Shuangbai and Rong Ye sat in the dark room next to the torture chamber and listened.
At first Rong Ye was reluctant to come, but he was really curious and insisted on dragging him along, so they came.
This turned out to be quite interesting.
Xie Shuangbai: "Si Jing, you're calling her that in a very intimate way. What's the relationship between him and the former princess?"
Rong Ye looked at Rong Yi, who scolded him, "You think you can call the former princess by her name? You call her so intimately, isn't it..."
Zhao Yimu suddenly shouted, "Si Jing and I are innocent, don't slander her!"
"Zhao Yimu, a scholar from Zhaojia Village, Yangcheng, has parents and a younger sister at home."
Before Rong Qi finished reading, Zhao Yimu said with horror in his eyes, "What are you going to do? My parents and sister are innocent!"
"Innocent? You're no longer innocent since you wrote this!"
"You'd better tell the truth quickly, otherwise...!"
Zhao Yimu: "You, you, the Liang King's lackeys, I curse you to die a miserable death!"
Rong Qi glanced at him calmly and said, "Be tough, let's see if you can be tougher than the whip."
The man in black next to him didn't say a word. He used a tightly woven cowhide whip dipped in salt water and whipped Zhao Yimu. The pain was so severe that he didn't know who he was.
Xie Shuangbai heard the sound of the whip and Zhao Yimu's screams, and felt pain all over his body!
He held Rongye's hand tightly.
Rong Ye saw that his face was pale. His Shuang'er should not have to see such a cruel scene.
He whispered, "Why don't you go back?"
Xie Shuangbai shook his head and said, "I want to stay here! Tell them to stop and I'll go ask them."
Rong Ye frowned: "Why bother asking you to go through the trial? He'll confess after a few whippings."
Xie Shuangbai doesn't think so.
"Even if you beat him to death, he won't confess. Why don't you let me try?"
Rong Yi whispered, "Master, I can't stand it any longer."
Even Rong Yi couldn't help but sigh. Many burly men came here and were scared to pee their pants, but this weak scholar could handle it.
Rong waved his hand, and the man in black stopped the whip.
Xie Shuangbai walked out from behind and was secretly shocked when he saw the blood-stained man.
Zhao Yimu's vision was blurred due to the pain. He only felt that the whip had stopped and he seemed to be hallucinating.
He smelled a faint floral scent, but he couldn't tell what flower it was, but it suddenly reminded him of Cai Sijing.
Is it Sijing who comes to pick me up?
"Sijing, you're here!"
Xie Shuangbai heard him shouting like that and decided to play along. He said softly, "Yeah, why are you doing this? Why don't you just confess? They're using you like this. You're not worth it for me!"
Zhao Yimu said excitedly: "Si Jing, it's worth dying for you!
It's all my fault, it's all my incompetence. If I had been brave enough to take you away, you wouldn't have been killed by the evil King Liang! "
Xie Shuangbai listened to Zhao Yimu's description, but he seemed to be unaware of the truth.
"Who told you I was murdered? I just had a difficult birth. Who was so cruel as to use my death to deceive you? I can't rest in peace even in the grave!"
Zhao Yimu panicked and said, "Sijing, Sijing, are you okay over there? Don't worry about me. I will redress your grievances even if I die!"
It was your aunt and your sister who told me that you were abducted by the King of Liang and brutally murdered. How could they have lied to me?
Xie Shuangbai thought about it and remembered what Rong Ye had said before about the former princess's family affairs. It suddenly became clear that he was telling both true and false stories.
Xie Shuangbai said in a tone that was three parts sad, four parts heartache, and five parts sorrow:
"You are confused, I was not abducted at all, I was drugged and sent to the palace by my mother.
You know what happened afterwards. She and I are not biological mother and daughter. She was two-faced towards me at home before. Was it them who sent you here this time? "
Zhao Yimu seemed to react at this moment:
"Last month, Siyi suddenly came to me and said that the prince had a new lover, that your position as princess had been taken away, and that your son was living a miserable life. She asked me to speak up for you!"
Xie Shuangbai imagined how Cai Sijing would persuade him, his tone filled with pain.
"You... you've been used. Think about it, my Royal Jade Butterfly says Princess. Who can erase the fact that I'm a princess? And I have Chi'er. I'm his biological mother. Even if I'm gone, he'll still remember me."
"Cai Siyi has ulterior motives in finding you. She wants to use you and make you the first to suffer. What does it matter to them whether you live or die?"
Zhao Yimu regained consciousness slowly. He was stunned when he saw the person in front of him. He asked weakly, "Who... who are you?"
"Your storybook describes me in a very interesting way, but you don't recognize me?" Xie Shuangbai looked at him and asked.
"You...you are the demon concubine!"
Zhao Yimu had to admit it, even in this dark dungeon filled with the smell of blood.
The beauty of the person in front of you can also make you forget where you are.
He really didn't fit in here, like an immortal descending from the sky, transcending everyone, so beautiful that he forgot to breathe.
"You just tricked me into confessing?"
Xie Shuangbai looked him in the eye and asked softly, "Is it the truth or an inducement? I believe you know."
Zhao Yimu licked the corner of his dry mouth: "Why should I believe you! I don't believe Siyi would harm her sister. Why would she do this?"
"You don't have to believe me," he turned around and looked at Zhao Yimu: "Why don't we make a bet to see whether what I just said is true or what you think is true."
"What's the bet?"
Xie Shuangbai smiled evilly: "Bet your life, didn't you just say that you are not afraid of death for Cai Sijing?"
Zhao Yimu said with swollen eyelids:
"Okay, as long as I can know the truth, I'll give you my life!"
Xie Shuangbai looked at him with a smile: "Deal."
He walked over to Rong Yi and said, "You know what to do next."
He turned back to look at Zhao Yimu on the shelf:
"Find a doctor for him. Don't let him die."
Rong Yi said respectfully, "As you wish."
Rong Ye pulled Xie Shuangbai out of the secret passage.
This leads directly to the study.
Xie Shuangbai picked up the folding fan on the table and fanned himself vigorously a few times, trying to get rid of the bloody smell on his body.
"You always worked in the study before. You weren't going to interrogate people, were you?"
Xie Shuangbai thought of Rong Ye's little quirks, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right.
