The prison cell was silent. Han Yunxi stared seriously at the rice soup in front of her. That serious expression made the curious people around her unconsciously calm down and wait with her.
Long Fei Ye's gaze fell on Han Yunxi's face. It seemed that he hadn't seen this woman's serious and professional side for a long time.
If he kept her by his side as an imperial poison master, would it be a rational choice?
Just as Long Fei Ye was pondering, Han Yunxi's silent eyes suddenly lit up. She exclaimed, "Sure enough!"
Long Fei Ye hurriedly looked at the rice soup. He saw that the originally white and clear rice soup suddenly became turbid and turned black in a short while!
"So, there's poison in their blood?" Long Fei Ye was naturally an intelligent person. He roughly understood what was going on.
The rice soup wasn't poisonous. The thing that would turn the rice soup black was undoubtedly the prisoners' blood.
Han Yunxi nodded, "That's right! There's poison in their blood. This poison is Rice Poison. "
"What do you mean?" Long Fei Ye asked. If there was poison in their blood, how were these prisoners able to live until now? Why was it that the poison doctors he had previously hired couldn't detect any signs of poisoning?
Although he didn't understand poison, Long Fei Ye also knew that once the poison spread into the blood, the degree of poisoning wouldn't be considered light. It might even be untreatable.
Just now, he had ordered someone to take blood from the prisoners' fingers. It was just a few drops of blood. Just by testing it, it was poisonous. This poison had probably completely spread throughout the prisoners' blood.
Their blood was poisonous, but they were still like normal people. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Long Fei Ye might not have believed it.
"This is a very special kind of poison. The reason why it's called Rice Poison is because this kind of poison will only appear when it comes into contact with rice. " Han Yunxi paused for a moment before continuing, "If I didn't guess wrongly, these poisoned people must have drunk rice soup before they were poisoned."
Long Fei Ye immediately looked at the guard beside him.
"Reporting to Your Highness, it is indeed so. The three meals in the prison are rice soup, and they are all forced to drink it. Some will drink it, and some will spit it out after a small mouthful." The guard quickly reported.
"In other words, if they don't eat food related to rice, they will never be poisoned?" Long Fei Ye asked seriously.
Han Yunxi nodded. "That's right. They'll never be poisoned. No matter how good a poison doctor is, he won't be able to detect any poison in their blood."
As she spoke, she casually poured the rice soup into another cup of blood. Not long after, the same thing happened. The white rice soup gradually turned black.
There was no doubt that both prisoners had poison in their blood.
"I see." Long Fei Ye's lips curled into a sneer. No wonder he couldn't find anything no matter how hard he tried. He didn't expect the other party to hide the poison so deeply.
"If you want to starve to death, why don't you drink rice soup and die of poisoning?" Long Fei Ye asked.
He couldn't figure out. This group of moles didn't confess. They all wanted to die. Why didn't they eat or drink?
Han Yunxi's lips curled into a helpless smile. "Your Highness, the name rice poison sounds ordinary, but once the poison takes effect, it's not something an ordinary person can bear. If it were me, I would rather starve to death than die of poison."
Only then did Long Feiye understand. It looked like these people had been poisoned because the guards had forced them to drink rice soup by accident.
"Your Highness, the master behind them … is absolutely not ordinary!" Han Yunxi's eyebrows showed her worry, and she seriously reminded him. Such a powerful poison master was not easy to deal with.
When she came here and saw these people, she certainly knew that the Northern Li Country's moles were imprisoned here. The last time she and Long Fei Ye went to the abyss, they met a person who could control the poisonous mosquito group. He was also a Northern Li Country's moles. These moles were all poison masters. If she didn't guess wrong, there was a leader behind this group of moles, and the rice poison was made by this leader.
Not to mention that the rice poison was not easy to concoct, there were very few people who knew about it. Han Yunxi dared to guarantee that in the world's ten poison doctors, at least nine people didn't know about the existence of this poison.
She didn't have this poison in her hand because this poison had been lost in modern times. According to the ancient records, this poison's formula had been lost for a long time in ancient times. She didn't expect to run into it here.
If it weren't for the historical records in the detoxification system, Han Yunxi thought that even if she pondered for a few years, she might not be able to figure it out.
"Such a meticulous poison, it's really not ordinary!"
Long Fei Ye coldly snorted, and then ordered, "Come, prepare the torture instruments. Benwang will interrogate them now! Benwang will let them know that there are things in this world more frightening than a rice poison outbreak! "
Han Yunxi didn't have an antidote for the rice poison, but she'd helped Long Fei Ye solve the riddle. She was about to urge him to go to the Han Estate when his Cold words made her feel a little timid.
Looking at his cold, resolute, and angular profile, Han Yunxi unconsciously backed up a few steps. She decided to endure it and wait for him to finish his business first.
She'd seen this guy's icy face before, but never such a serious one. It looked like the matter of moles in Northern Li had been bothering him for a long time.
Of course, Han Yunxi was curious as well. In Cloud Realm Continent, poison medicine was a side branch that wasn't mainstream. Those who studied poisons were few and far between. Even Cloud Realm Medical Academy didn't treat poisons as a main course of study, so there shouldn't be many poison experts on this continent!
What kind of person was hiding behind these moles?
Was this person in Northern Li Country, or was she hiding in Tianning's capital city like the moles? These moles were all women, so could the person behind them be a woman as well?
If she didn't have the help of the detox system, would she lose in a contest? The more Han Yunxi thought about it, the more curious she became. She really wanted to meet the leader behind the scenes.
Seeing Long Fei Ye walk towards the depths of the prison, she hesitated for a moment before limping after him.
Han Yunxi entered the room and saw that the prisoners hadn't been brought in yet. The guards were still preparing the torture tools. Long Fei Ye sat in a corner, the dim light of the flames covering his face. He was like a ruler hidden in the shadows, observing all things in the world. Mysterious, stern, dignified, and arrogant, domineering, his brows filled with arrogance!
In white, he looked like an immortal, but in black, he was a devil.
Han Yunxi stood on one leg, unable to tear her eyes away. This man was only a few steps away from her, but he seemed to be far away from her.
Long Fei Ye glanced at her without a word. He lifted his chin slightly, indicating that there was a seat not far to her right.
Han Yunxi didn't speak either, but nodded and limped over. As soon as she sat down, she felt as if her legs had been freed.
As soon as she sat down, Han Yunxi noticed that there weren't any torture tools in the torture room, only a large iron cage. The iron mesh was dense and solid, and there was a circular opening on the side. It was about the size of a normal person's face.
Was this the torture tool?
Han Yunxi thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out how to use it. She couldn't figure out how it could be more terrible than the Rice Poison.
Very soon, the guard brought in a rat cage. Inside was a terrifying black rat. Its head and tail were as long as an adult's arm, and its mouth was especially sharp.
Han Yunxi couldn't figure out what this rat was used for, but after looking at it a few times, she couldn't help shivering as her hairs stood on end.
It seemed like even the guard was afraid of this black rat, not daring to use his hands to grab it. Instead, he opened the rat cage and threw the black rat into the large iron cage, closing the opening of the large iron cage.
When the large black rat fell into the large iron cage, it immediately ran around like it was crazy. It seemed like it had been locked up for a long time and hadn't moved for a long time, but it also seemed like it wanted to escape from the iron cage. In short, this rat was very excited.
Han Yunxi grew more and more bewildered as she watched. At this moment, a guard tossed a piece of raw meat the size of a thumb into the rat's back. But the rat had a keen sense of smell and immediately turned to pounce on the meat, swallowing it whole in one gulp. It didn't even chomp down!
Han Yunxi unconsciously sat up straight and said in a shocked voice, "This rat was raised with raw meat!"
Long Fei Ye didn't reply and the guard respectfully said, "Reporting to the Princess Consort, yes."
Han Yunxi immediately understood what was going on. She couldn't help quivering as she hugged her arms tightly. It was too terrifying!
This rat that ate meat had clearly been hungry for several days. It was so hungry that it jumped up and down to find food. Moreover, it should have entered this iron cage several times. It knew that once it came in, it would have meat to eat, so it ran around excitedly.
If Long Fei Ye locked the prisoners in this iron cage, then wouldn't that be …..
Han Yunxi didn't dare to think about it and unconsciously turned to look at Long Fei Ye. She only saw Long Fei Ye's expressionless face and his eyes were cold and emotionless, just like an Asura in the night.
This kind of torture was even more terrifying than the Rice Poison. Facing this kind of torture, would anyone not confess?
Very quickly, the two female prisoners were brought over. Their hands were tied behind their backs and their hair was disheveled. They looked withered and it was estimated that they had been hungry for several days.
One of the female prisoners was brought to the side and tied up while the other was brought to the side of the iron cage. When the towel in her mouth was removed, she angrily shouted at Long Fei Ye, "Long Fei Ye, don't waste your energy. Even if I die, I will never answer any of your questions!"
"I advise you to stop wasting your energy. It's useless!"
Long Fei Ye's lips curled into a mocking smile. He didn't reply and gave a sharp look to the guard to bring the female prisoner over.
The female prisoner's head fiercely hit the iron cage. When the big black rat smelled the scent of "food", it suddenly jumped out from the inside. Its sharp claws crazily scratched the iron mesh as if it wanted to tear the iron mesh apart.
Han Yunxi was frightened out of her wits. If it wasn't for the iron mesh, who knew how badly the female prisoner's head would have been scratched!
The hungry big rat didn't care who you were. As long as there was meat, it would definitely eat it!
The female prisoner seemed to have realized that the torture this time was different from the previous ones. She struggled fiercely but the guard grabbed her neck tightly and pressed her head against the iron mesh.
The female prisoner roared loudly, "Long Fei Ye, abusing a woman, are you still a man? If you have the ability, kill me! "
"Long Fei Ye, did you hear that? You're a cold-blooded and heartless thing. You're not human!"
"What kind of hero are you! If you have the guts, kill me! "
…
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything. The guard suddenly pulled the female prisoner away and used a towel to gag her mouth.
The room immediately quietened down. At this moment, Long Fei Ye slowly opened his mouth. His voice was so cold that it caused the surrounding temperature to drop by several degrees.
"All these years, more than ten people have died by your hands, including a six year old child and an infant in swaddling clothes. Are you worthy to talk to This Prince about being a man?
Han Yunxi originally had some sympathy for this female prisoner but when she heard Long Fei Ye's words, she was furious. These traitors, forget about the shady business they did, they didn't even let off a child. It was simply too abominable. She deserved this day!
The female prisoner unhappily struggled to turn her head. However, Long Fei Ye said Coldly, "Carry out the punishment."
Carry out the punishment? Were they throwing people in there? Or …
