Chapter 77 Lingchi, Cutting into pieces
"Control——"
Feng Ming pulled the reins suddenly, almost throwing Lin Miaoyin and Yuzhu out of the carriage.
"Princess, are you okay?" Feng Ming hurriedly supported her.
Lin Miaoyin shook her head, "Take me in quickly."
"Princess, take this." Feng Ming handed her a red-gold token.
When Lin Miaoyin received it in her hand, she realized that it was the Queen's token. She took a deep breath and stepped into the Dali Temple's cell.
As soon as he entered, he was stopped by the jailer at the gate, "This is a restricted area of the prison, no trespassing!"
She raised the gold medal in her hand and said, "I am here to visit Prince Ning on the orders of the Queen Mother. Why don't you get out of the way!"
The two of them took a look at what she was holding and immediately began to flatter her. "It turns out to be Princess Ning. Please come in."
Lin Miaoyin's heart, which had been lifted, fell heavily.
She always thought that the queen was out of favor and had no real power, and no one in the palace took her seriously.
I didn't expect her handwritten instructions to be so useful.
The light in the cell was dim. There were only a few oil lamps hanging on the wall. They swayed and danced in the night wind, emitting a few flickering sparks.
As you walk in, a damp and musty smell hits you in the face.
Yuzhu couldn't help but cover her nose, carefully following behind Lin Miaoyin, looking around vigilantly.
The corner of her eye inadvertently glanced at half of the face dripping with blood, and she immediately screamed, "Ghost, ghost..."
"There's no ghost there. Why are you screaming?" Feng Ming scolded.
Yuzhu's face was pale and she pointed to the side with trembling hands.
Lin Miaoyin followed her gaze and the scene before her was something she would never forget.
There was a cross standing in the middle of the cell, and a bloody figure was tied to the rack. The reason why I said it was a figure was that almost all the flesh on that person's body had been cut off, and even the skinny face had half of its flesh gouged out, leaving only a pair of eyes moving with difficulty in the bloody eye sockets.
Hearing the noise from their side, the man opened his eyes with difficulty, lifted up his eyes whose eyelids had been cut off, and looked at them tremblingly.
That slightly bulging eyeball seemed like it would fall out at any moment.
His forehead, torso, and limbs were covered in blood and bones, with only a few pieces of flesh hanging from them, and blood was dripping from them.
The strong smell of blood rushed straight to my head.
Even Lin Miaoyin, who was used to bloody scenes, couldn't help but turn pale at this moment.
Seeing this, the jailer hurriedly stopped her in front of him, blocking her view. "This man is the leader of the northern uprising army. He has been inciting the newly surrendered Beidi to break away from Beiliang and become independent. His Royal Highness King Jing spent a lot of effort to capture him. The emperor was furious and sentenced him to death by slicing!"
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing ordered that the man be cut with a thousand knives, but not to death. He will also be paraded tomorrow to show those remaining evildoers that this is the fate of going against the imperial court!"
"This man is really tough. Even after being cut into pieces, he still didn't die."
"I'm guilty of scaring Princess Ning."
The jailer winked at the executioner in the cell, and the man immediately picked up the torture instrument and cut another hole in the man's remaining body.
"You're guilty of offending a noble man! Damn it!"
Unexpectedly, the man didn't say a word.
Maybe I have become numb a long time ago.
But those eyes were fixed on this side.
"Princess Ning, Prince Ning is in the cell inside. We'll be there soon. I'll take you there."
Lin Miaoyin didn't look away until she heard the jailer's voice.
However, there was a storm in her heart.
That person is still alive!
All those thousand cuts were made while he was conscious.
How did he endure it?
"Princess Ning, Prince Ning is inside, please go in." The jailer raised his hand to signal Lin Miaoyin to go in, while stopping Feng Ming and Yuzhu outside.
Lin Miaoyin immediately collected her thoughts and stepped into the cell.
Although the cell where Beigong You was located was dimly lit, there was not much musty smell and the environment inside was relatively clean.
In the corner stood a wooden bed covered with hay. On the hay there was a dark figure that almost blended into the darkness.
She took two steps forward, "Beigong You!"
The man did not respond to her. He closed his eyes slightly, as if he was unconscious.
"Zhi Mo..."
Beigong You took a deep breath, and when he heard some noise coming from inside the cell door, he struggled to open his eyes a little.
Seeing the bright red figure coming towards her, she subconsciously called out the name lingering in her mind, and then her whole body seemed to fall into a warm embrace. She couldn't help but greedily breathe in the scent of her memory and buried her head deeply in it.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Beigong You, you..." Looking at the man pressing on her chest, Lin Miaoyin's face suddenly turned red.
Seeing the man rolling off the hay, she went forward to help him, but he buried his head in her chest, what a pervert!
"Zhi Mo..."
"What did you say?" Lin Miaoyin lowered her head subconsciously.
"mother……"
Lin Miaoyin: "..."
Well, it turns out she took advantage.
She hurriedly hugged the man and put him down carefully. When Beigong You lay down again, she closed her eyes completely and no longer responded.
Lin Miaoyin looked at the man's slightly bluish-purple lips and placed her fingers under his nose to probe.
The breath was almost inaudible.
The slightly red face quickly turned into cyan and then gradually became grayer.
There was no trace of blood on his face, just like a dead person.
If it weren't for the slightly rising and falling chest, she would have thought that Beigong You had become a corpse by now.
She immediately took out a small portable oxygen machine from the medical system to provide oxygen to Beigong You, then took out a stethoscope and prepared to check Beigong You's heart and lung condition.
As soon as the stethoscope was placed on the man's chest, a strong smell of blood came violently.
Ever since she saw that horrifying scene just now, the smell of blood has been lingering in her nostrils for a long time.
She thought it was just her own psychological effect and didn't take it seriously, and continued with her actions.
Auscultation soon produced results, showing that Beigong You had fluid accumulation in his chest cavity.
For a moment she thought she had misheard, and hurriedly activated the scanning function of the medical system to conduct a detailed examination of Beigong You.
A stethoscope is not precise and can only detect a large amount of fluid in the chest cavity.
But she had just drained the fluid from Beigong You's chest cavity a few days ago. How come so much fluid accumulated again in just a few days?
Soon, the medical system had results.
There is indeed excess fluid in the lungs.
Lin Miaoyin frowned and put the stethoscope into the medical system.
The moment she lowered her head, she smelled the strong smell of blood again. She suspiciously tore off Beigong You's clothes and saw that his white inner garment was stained red with blood. Even his middle garment was stained red with blood. The blood was not obvious on his dark robe, so she did not notice it.
Why did he bleed so much?
They tortured him!
Seeing the traces of mulberry paper on the man's face, Lin Miaoyin was almost certain of this.
She searched quickly in her mind.
It's a torture method called "tapping a promotion", which is perverted but leaves no trace.
No wonder his illness flared up!
"Your Highness!" Feng Ming, who was outside the cell, saw this scene. He kicked the jailer who was blocking the door away and rushed in with bloodshot eyes.
