NOVEL NEXT Chapter 86 Prince's Mansion
In the prison, the air seemed to be filled with water vapor, and the dark void was filled with the smell of decay and corpses.
Su Yao and Shangguan Yuli walked through a long corridor towards a cell.
"Pa...pa...pa..."
As soon as they stepped into the cell, they heard the sound of whips hitting flesh.
Su Yao looked at the cell, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Shangguan Yuli.
"You knew I was coming."
Shangguan Yuli shook his head honestly.
"I don't know, but it's always right to be prepared. You can use it anytime you want. If you don't come, it's just a waste of time."
Su Yao's eyes flashed, and she walked straight to the low couch and sat down.
There was a chessboard on the couch, and to the right of the couch was a wall.
A small hole was opened in the wall at this time.
There seemed to be something in the hole, and through that thing, everything in the torture room opposite could be seen clearly.
This cell has everything you need, just like a small bedroom.
Su Yao took a sip from the teacup, her voice indifferent.
"Shangguan Yuli, don't like me."
Shangguan Yuli lowered her eyelids, covering the paranoia in her eyes, and whispered:
"Okay."
Su Yao, how could it be possible? We are destined to be entangled for a lifetime. .
Su Yao... you are destined to be mine, only mine.
Su Yao hooked her lips and put down the teacup.
This is good, no one should be tempted.
In the end, there will be no pain.
"Ah..."
At this time, a shrill scream suddenly came from the torture room opposite.
Su Yao looked through the small hole and saw Su Lan tied to the torture rack with blood all over her body, and the pain twisted her face.
A fat middle-aged woman, holding a branding iron, pressed it hard on Su Lan's chest.
The jailer looked at Su Lan and gritted his teeth and said:
"Prince Su, why are you doing this? Now the evidence is solid. If you confess earlier, you can suffer less and we can save trouble, isn't it better?"
"Bah..., why should I admit to something I haven't done?"
The jailer sneered and stared at Su Lan with his eyes.
"Haha, Prince, you are so brave. Don't worry. We Fengqi has more than 100 kinds of criminal laws. We will go through them one by one. I don't believe that we can't pry your mouth open."
Su Lan raised his head with difficulty and looked at the jailer.
"You dare to torture privately, do you still have the law in your eyes? I want to see the emperor."
"Haha, the emperor is investigating your case now, but he has no time to see you. As for the law? You have colluded with the enemy and sold out the country. You are still talking to me about the law."
"Okay, why waste time talking to a traitor like her, get out of the way, I'll do it."
At this time, a woman with broad shoulders and narrow waist strode over, walked to the side, picked up a whip, and walked towards Su Lan.
The man immediately stepped forward and looked at the person who came with a nod and bowed.
"Boss, you are here, you take a rest, I will do it."
The jailer waved his hand impatiently.
"No, get out of the way, it's been a long time, and you can't even get a fart, what are you doing."
As he said, he dipped the whip in the pepper water next to him, and then suddenly raised the long whip and hit Su Lan.
The boss has explained that they must get the answer, otherwise they will suffer. As for Su Lan herself, just keep a breath.
The jailer was holding a long whip, dipped in chili water, and whipped Su Lan's body again and again.
There was a sound of "pa...pa...pa...".
After a while, Su Lan's body was covered with intricate whip marks, and her skin and flesh rolled.
Su Yao curled her lips and watched the scene quietly.
Shangguan Yuli dropped another piece and raised her head to look at the girl.
Su Yao turned her head and took the piece in her right hand and dropped it with a "pa..." sound.
"You lose."
Shangguan Yuli was stunned and stared at the chessboard blankly. How could this be possible? He had obviously replaced her piece.
Su Yao looked at the man's silly look and couldn't help but rubbed his head.
"Stupid, are you sure you replaced my piece?"
Shangguan Yuli was even more confused. What does it mean?
He lowered his head and looked at the black chess piece in his palm. He wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
It turned out that she was in a hurry and took the wrong child...
Su Yao smiled, stood up and walked towards the door,
"Don't kill the person, otherwise you won't be able to perform in the future."
Shangguan Yuli smiled at the woman's back and said softly:
"Okay."
At this moment in Shangguan Mansion.
Shangguan Yuxue's smile never faded.
"Wife, what do you think about Prince Su's matter?"
Fu Chenyang stroked his belly and smiled at Shangguan Yuxue.
Shangguan Yuxue snorted coldly.
"Hmph, that old woman Su Lan will not collude with the enemy and sell out the country."
"But where did that slut get the letter from?"
Shangguan Yuxue pondered.
It seems that the slut has been contacting her less and less in the past two years.
This time, she got such an important letter, but she didn't report it to her, but reported it directly.
It stands to reason that the slut's favorability towards her is 100%, and it is impossible for her to betray her.
What is going on?
"Wife, I want to go home to see Grandma. She's old, and I want to spend more time with her while she's still alive."
At this time, Fu Chenyang pulled Shangguan Yuxue's sleeve and shook it gently, his tone tender.
Shangguan Yuxue came back to her senses and reached out to touch his head.
"Well, okay, but you're almost five months old now. I'm worried if you go back alone. I'll take you back."
"Well, OK, thank you, my wife."
Fu Chenyang smiled and leaned in Shangguan Yuxue's arms.
Shangguan Yuxue narrowed her eyes slightly, not knowing how Prime Minister Fu was preparing.
Not long after Su Yao returned to Yaomeng Garden, a white dove flapped its wings and flew in the sky.
Su Yao smiled and stretched out her hand, and the white dove landed steadily in her hand.
Take off the note from the white dove's leg, gently put the white dove on the low table by the window, and then pour some rice on it.
The white dove ate happily.
Su Yao took the note and turned to the table.
After opening the note, it was blank.
Su Yao put the note on the table, picked up the teapot, and the tea poured from the spout of the pot and fell on the paper.
After a while, the words slowly appeared on the soaked blank paper.
Su Yao looked at the handwriting, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"It seems that you haven't given up yet."
The low murmur disappeared in the room.
Su Yao turned around and walked to the table, opened the drawer, rummaged through it, took out a white porcelain bottle, and poured a little into the grinding box.
Picked up the inkstone and gently ground the ink. After a while, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and dropped it on the paper.
A quarter of an hour later, the handwriting on the paper disappeared, and then it was rolled up and tied to the legs of the white dove again.
Watching the white dove fly into the sky, she smiled and walked back to the desk.
Picked up the white porcelain bottle and looked at it. She would have to develop more similar things in the future.
Time went into the end of November in a blink of an eye, and finally on this day the emperor issued an edict.
The general meaning was that no evidence was found to prove that Su Lan colluded with foreign races, but there was the letter as evidence.
The final result was that the Su Wang Mansion was downgraded to the Su Jun Wang Mansion.
It must not be inherited.
On this day, Su Lan was finally released.
Su Yao, Su Tang, and Su Cejun had been waiting at the gate of the mansion after the imperial edict was issued.
Suddenly a thin figure appeared in the sight of several people.
"Mother?"
Su Tang exclaimed when she saw who it was.
Looking at Su Lan, who was so thin and needed someone to support her, all the resentment in her heart disappeared at this moment.
She spoke in a hoarse voice and hurried forward to carefully support Su Lan.
