Chapter 55 Let me show you something.
"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me."
He was just a guard.
How could they dare offend the Crown Prince?
Su Yizhuo huffed and puffed as he put on his clothes, grumbling, "A cat's life matters too. If you work a cat to death, you'll know that cat meat doesn't taste good at all! What kind of lousy clothes are these? I can't even put them on, and I can't even fasten them properly! Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?!"
The guard, who was far away, waved to the palace maid standing outside the door: "Come in quickly and help His Highness."
Just as Su Yizhuo was about to violently destroy the clothes, a palace maid stepped in front of him in time: "Your Highness, let me do it."
Su Yizhuo resignedly spread his hands: "Hurry up."
He wanted to go and have a serious talk with the Crown Prince. He had been promised a day off, so why was he being dragged back early?
What heavenly law did he break that God had to give him such a brother?
He was prepared to retract the words he had previously used when praising the Crown Prince.
Once Su Yizhuo was dressed neatly, he strode quickly after the person who had come to invite him, heading towards the East Palace.
The palace servants quickly stopped him: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is not in the Eastern Palace. You can come with me."
"Not in the East Palace?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Su Yizhuo impatiently puffed out his cheeks: "Lead the way."
Upon entering Consort Xu's palace, Su Yizhuo keenly sensed that something was amiss.
In the main hall, the Crown Prince sat in the main seat, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand.
Two disheveled people were kneeling on the ground.
It goes without saying what just happened between them.
He suddenly remembered a particularly famous line from his past life: "Sun Yingying's red mandarin duck bodice is still hanging on that madman's belt."
Isn't this just a real-life version of Sun Yingying and the Madman?
Su Yizhuo glanced curiously at the two people on the ground.
well.
He didn't know any of them.
"Brother, is there something you need to tell me so late?"
"I've come to invite you to watch a play." The Crown Prince put down his teacup and looked at the two kneeling men with a natural expression: "I remember you said you were very interested in interrogation, so I invited you to come and see for yourself."
"what?"
Su Yizhuo's eyes widened.
I even doubted whether I had misheard.
trial?
penalty?
Is this how you livestreamed, looking so fresh and radiant?
The crown prince took it as a yes and turned to look at Wang Shun beside him.
Wang Shun understood and immediately shouted towards the door, "Someone come here."
Immediately afterwards, a group of people filed in carrying all sorts of instruments of torture.
The Crown Prince's expression remained unchanged: "Look, which one do you like? I can explain it to you."
Su Yizhuo swallowed hard as he looked at the row of torture instruments.
When he spoke again, his voice trembled: "Can I refuse?"
He's a model young man of the 21st century; when has he ever seen anything like this?
He's only managing to stay upright by gritting his teeth and persevering.
The crown prince calmly shook his head: "No. What are you standing there for? Come and sit down."
He deliberately called Su Yizhu over to test his endurance.
He planned to hand over the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War to Su Yizhuo after he ascended the throne.
Su Yizhu walked awkwardly to the empty seat on the other side of the Crown Prince and sat down.
It felt like a million needles were pricking his buttocks.
"Let's begin."
The prince waved his hand down, and immediately someone stepped forward with a cleaver.
The warm light of the candle could not mask the coldness emanating from the cleaver.
All that could be heard was a scream from the kneeling man as a thin slice of flesh was sliced off.
Su Yizhuo couldn't bear it and turned his head away.
The stench of blood relentlessly assaulted his nostrils, stimulating every cell in his body.
The crown prince's expression remained unchanged throughout, and he even took a sip of tea: "Watch carefully, learn well. This is already considered relatively mild."
At least that person can still stay conscious.
The rest, no matter which type, could take half his life in an instant.
The smell of blood grew stronger, causing Su Yizhuo's stomach to churn violently.
"Brother, I feel a little nauseous."
"Go ahead and throw up, it's the first time you've seen it, everyone's like this."
Unfortunately, Su Yizhuo only ate one meal today, and even though he felt like vomiting, he couldn't vomit anything.
The screams grew louder and louder, interspersed with the cries of a woman in terror.
Su Yizhuo didn't think they deserved pity.
The woman's clothing had already given away her identity.
As a concubine in the imperial harem, if she had an affair with another man and was caught in the act, she would certainly be dealt with according to the palace rules.
He feels sorry for himself now.
It looks like two people are being punished, but in reality, three people are being tortured.
After a short while, the man could no longer hold on and cried out in the direction of the Crown Prince with a heart-wrenching voice, "I confess! I confess everything! Your Highness, it was Consort Xu who seduced me! It has nothing to do with me! Please spare me!"
Consort Xu, accused of seducing someone, stared wide-eyed in disbelief, clutching her belly and speechless.
"Consort Xu, don't you want to explain yourself?"
Consort Xu was still reeling from the blow, her head hanging low, repeating over and over again, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me..."
Su Yizhuo, already accustomed to the smell of blood, frowned as he looked at the man whose leg had exposed bone: "Is he even a man? When something happens, all he thinks about is absolving himself."
The crown prince chuckled meaningfully, "He won't be like that for long."
Before Su Yizhuo could ask any more questions, the guard swiftly brought down his knife.
Something filthy fell down.
Su Yizhu felt a chill run down his spine.
Her slightly parted legs instantly came together.
"Holy crap..."
Consort Xu finally came to her senses and, clutching her stomach, cried out to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, I am carrying the Emperor's child! You cannot do this to me!"
"The child in my womb is your own flesh and blood!"
"Consort Xu, even now you still don't intend to tell the truth?" The Crown Prince frowned in disgust. "If you had been honest, I was prepared to punish you leniently. But I gave you the chance, and you've proven useless."
Su Yizhuo sensed an even bigger piece of gossip and immediately perked up his ears.
I paid even more attention than when I was in school.
Consort Xu shook her head, her face streaked with tears, insisting that the child was the Emperor's.
The Crown Prince scoffed, "The Imperial Hospital may not have any records, but that doesn't mean I can't find them."
A maid responsible for sweeping and cleaning in Consort Xu's palace walked in and knelt down.
Perhaps frightened by the scene in the palace, her voice trembled so much that they could hardly hear her: "One night, I got up to use the restroom and heard faint sounds of illicit relations coming from the Noble Lady's room. But His Majesty hasn't summoned her to his bedchamber for a long time."
Su Yizhuo leaned forward slightly: "Continue."
The young palace maid looked up at Consort Xu and said, "Consort Xu noticed that her period was late, so she took the opportunity to deliver soup to the Emperor. That night, Consort Xu was favored by the Emperor."
"Consort Xu, do you have anything else to say in your defense?"
"Impossible! Impossible!" Consort Xu collapsed to the ground, muttering to herself, "She is framing me. The child in my belly is the Emperor's."
"Consort Xu, it's one thing to fool others, but don't fool yourself too."
The man couldn't bear the pain and fainted.
Looking at the mess in the room, the Crown Prince ordered his men, "Get all the questions you need to know, and then resolve the matter. Second Prince, let's go."
Xiao Wu was happily licking his fur when he suddenly froze on the spot: "What the hell?"
