After Jiujiu fell asleep, the Crown Prince's expression hardened and he walked towards the dungeon of the General's residence.
Yan Ke and Brother Li had been locked up in the dungeon last night. Now that the night had passed, Yan Ke and Brother Li's faces were pale.
Brother Li was fine, but Yan Ke had long been hollowed out by wine and women. He hadn't slept well all night and had been hungry all morning, so he was even more listless now.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside.
Yan Ke immediately rushed forward, thinking that Yan Kui had sent someone to let him out. But when he saw the face of the person who had come, fear appeared on his face. He subconsciously curled up in the cell, afraid that the person would see him.
However, no matter how he curled up, it was useless. The Crown Prince saw Yan Ke at a glance.
Looking at Yan Ke's dodging action, the Crown Prince's lips curled up slightly, his face full of ridicule.
Now he knew fear. Why didn't he know fear when he did bad things? He actually dared to do such a thing to Jiujiu. Thinking of this, the Crown Prince wished he could tear Yan Ke and this so-called thing into pieces.
After having Yan Ke and Brother Li taken away, the Crown Prince left the General's residence.
The Crown Prince brought Yan Ke and Brother Li directly to the dungeon.
There was a place in the dungeon that was specially used to imprison felons. There were countless torture devices inside, and there were even more torture devices that wouldn't kill people. Yan Ke had just been brought there when his legs instantly went soft, and there was the sound of running water between his legs.
Lian Cheng sneered.
This Yan Ke was fearless when he did bad things. Why was he so scared when he walked in? He dared to do bad things like this, tsk tsk …
What a coward.
After Lian Cheng sneered twice, he had Yan Ke help him to the torture rack. According to the Crown Prince's instructions, he used the torture methods on Yan Ke one by one.
As soon as it started, Yan Ke let out a tragic wail. As the torture continued, Yan Ke's wail gradually weakened. In the end, he was barely breathing. When he became weak, Lian Cheng walked up to Yan Ke and whispered, "Second Master Yan, do you still want to continue?"
Yan Ke, who had been tortured until he was numb, immediately resisted fiercely when he heard the word "continue", as if a button had been pressed. He shook his head repeatedly and shouted no.
"You don't want to continue being tortured, right?"
"Yes, I was wrong. Let me out. I beg you, I won't do it again." At this moment, Yan Ke's heart was filled with regret. As long as the other party was willing to let him out, he would do it even if he had to.
This kind of punishment was not something a human could endure. Just like this, he felt as if he had walked through hell, and all the muscles in his body were in great pain.
"It's fine if you don't want to suffer. As long as Second Master reveals the person who asked you to offend Miss Yan, not only will I not torture you, but I will also send you back unharmed. What do you think?"
Lian Cheng said seductively in Yan Ke's ear.
Almost instantly, Yan Ke wanted to agree, but in the end, she thought of something and said, "I don't know. I don't know that person."
"You don't know him?" Lian Cheng frowned. "It's troublesome if you don't know him. If you don't know him, then you'll have to suffer more."
After Lian Cheng finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal for them to continue.
Yan Ke saw the person who was going to execute him walk over and immediately shouted at Lian Cheng, "I'll talk, I'll talk. Don't execute me."
Lian Cheng sneered in his heart and walked slowly to Yan Ke. He said slowly, "Speak."
Yan Ke's eyes shook. "Actually, I don't know who he is either."
"You don't know?"
"I really don't know who he is." Yan Ke quickly added, "Every time he meets me, he wears a mask. I really don't know who he is. Moreover, he promised me that he would give me a sum of money to let me go far away after the matter is done. That's why I …"
Lian Cheng had already investigated Yan Ke when he brought Yan Ke in.
Yan Ke was addicted to gambling and owed a large sum of money at the gambling house. It seemed that he was indeed a person who might do such a thing for money. But the question was, who would do such a thing?
Lian Cheng was skeptical of Yan Ke's words, but looking at Yan Ke's determined expression, it seemed that this was really the case. Even if he continued to ask, he would not be able to get anything out of him. Lian Cheng asked someone to send Yan Ke away while he reported to the Crown Prince.
"You don't know him?"
The Crown Prince sat in front of the desk, his fingers gently tapping on the table, making a clattering sound that tugged at one's heartstrings. With the beat, Lian Cheng's heart instantly jumped to his throat.
"This subordinate is useless?" Lian Cheng immediately knelt down and asked for forgiveness.
The Crown Prince waved his hand and motioned for Lian Cheng to get up. "It's okay. He doesn't want to say it. Even if you continue to ask, the result will be the same."
"Then do you want to continue …"
"No need." The Crown Prince sneered. "Although that Yan Ke is a scoundrel, he is also of the Yan family's bloodline. Once he encounters some things, he will become a tough nut to crack. Send an imperial physician to treat him. When he is well, throw him away."
The Crown Prince paused. "Find someone to keep an eye on him for me. Keep an eye on him 24 hours a day. Even if he goes to the toilet, keep an eye on him." He did not believe that if he kept an eye on him 24 hours a day, Yan Ke would not go to find that person.
As long as he went to find him, then he would know who that person was. Once he knew who the person who wanted to hurt Jiujiu was, he would let him know what true despair was.
And on the other side.
Originally, after waiting for the news from Yan Ke, he spread the news of Jiujiu's adultery to everyone. But for several days, he did not see Yan Ke. He Yanshuo was a little anxious, but he understood that if Yan Ke did not appear, it was most likely that he had been discovered. Once he took the initiative to contact Yan Ke, it would be used against him. The best way to deal with it now was to bide his time.
It took Yan Ke half a month to recover from his injuries. Even so, when he walked, the bones all over his body would creak.
Although the outside of his body was intact, Yan Ke knew that his bones were broken. His body could not return to how it was before, even if his body was not so good before.
Back at his residence, Yan Ke first had a good meal, then went to his room to sleep.
For five days in a row, Yan Ke slept at home, making the secret guard who was watching him somewhat unsure of how to report. On the sixth day.
Early in the morning, Yan Ke behaved unusually. After breakfast, he went directly to a gambling house in the capital. After a few turns, he walked into a dark room. The secret guard followed him quietly, and then saw a man wearing a strange mask.
Because he was afraid of being discovered, the secret guard did not dare to approach. He could only watch from afar as Yan Ke spoke a few words to the man. The man took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed it to Yan Ke. After a while, Yan Ke left.
