Chapter 373: About to be punished
After Qinghuan received the order, he rushed to the Heavenly Prison without stopping and asked Eunuch Sun to torture and interrogate Luo Xiaoran immediately.
At this moment, a lot of sweat was dripping down Eunuch Sun's forehead.
Although no one in the palace except Luo Xiaoran and Wei An admitted to touching the red coral, this does not mean that the master and servant were the ones who did it!
Seeing that Eunuch Sun's feet were like nails nailed to the ground, not moving at all, Qinghuan couldn't help but frown.
"Sun Daquan, are you going to disobey the Queen's order?"
Of course Eunuch Sun didn't dare to disobey, but Luo Xiaoran... he really didn't dare to punish her severely!
So, Eunuch Sun tilted his bamboo-like body and looked at Huo Shui for help.
If possible, Huo Shui really wanted to see Luo Xiaoran with her skin torn apart.
But Huo Shui was aware that the reason Huo Qingyun sent her here was to ensure that Luo Xiaoran was safe and sound.
If Huo Shui was present, Luo Xiaoran would still be punished. Although Huo Shui could put the blame on the Queen, Huo Qingyun would never assign any important tasks to Huo Shui again.
After realizing this, Huo Shui immediately adopted a tough stance.
“The Emperor loves the Empress, so he sent the Imperial Guards to investigate the case together with the Heavenly Prison and give the Empress an explanation.
I have questioned Luo Xiaoran before, and I can basically conclude that she has nothing to do with the Hong Shanhu case.
In view of her special status, the guards decided not to torture her. "
Qinghuan was the most capable person around the Queen. Apart from the masters in the palace, no one else dared to speak to her in this tone.
She also knew Huo Shui. A woman who could serve in the Imperial Guard had reason to be proud of herself.
But she really didn't like Huo Shui's cold tone, um, she didn't like it!
"Really? I heard that Luo Xiaoran's food was poisoned. Isn't this a form of murder to silence her?
From this, it can be seen that there are still doubts about Luo Xiaoran.
It was very hasty for the Guards to conclude that she had nothing to do with the Red Coral case."
Huo Shui frowned slightly, "The Imperial Guard only obeys the Emperor. If the Emperor orders an investigation, the Imperial Guard will find the real culprit at all costs."
Using the emperor to pressure me? Qing Huan sneered in his heart.
"Did the Emperor issue an order prohibiting the torture of Luo Xiaoran? I guess not!
In this case, the Queen Mother has ordered that I must watch Luo Xiaoran being tortured with my own eyes until she tells the truth about the Hong Shanhu case.
Huo Shui, Sun Daquan, do you want to disobey the order?"
……
Huo Shui and Sun Daquan could not bear the charge of disobeying the Queen's order, so Luo Xiaoran was brought out.
"Eunuch Sun, the Queen's order is for me to be punished, but she didn't mention Wei An, right?"
Before coming out, Luo Xiaoran asked a question.
The corners of Eunuch Sun's mouth, which were usually raised, were drooping at this moment, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes when he looked at Luo Xiaoran.
"Ms. Qinghuan did not mention Miss Wei'an."
"Then I'll go with you. Eunuch Sun, please don't mention Wei An in front of Qing Huan."
"Natural nature."
But Wei An refused to do so and she grabbed Luo Xiaoran's sleeve tightly.
"Princess, I was sent by His Highness to protect you. How could I watch you being tortured?"
After saying that, Wei An pointed at Eunuch Sun angrily.
"You! If our princess moves even a finger, you will be buried alive when His Royal Highness Prince Yan arrives in Beijing!"
Eunuch Sun smiled. Being buried alive was an easy way to die.
"You're still laughing!" Wei An became even angrier.
Eunuch Sun restrained his smile and could only explain it again:
"This is the Queen's decree, and the one who came is Qing Huan, the most capable girl by the Queen's side. If you disobey the decree, your head will be chopped off right now.
Miss Wei'an, Miss Luo wants to protect you, so stop making trouble. If you call Miss Qinghuan over later, you won't be able to escape."
Eunuch Sun's words reminded Wei An, and she quickly responded:
"Just let me be tortured and interrogate me first. During this interval, you send someone out to find Commander Huo and the emperor. In short, you can't do anything to the princess!"
"Alright Wei An!" Luo Xiaoran interrupted her, "Actually, I'm really afraid of pain, but the Queen is coming for me, I can't let you bear it for me!"
After Luo Xiaoran finished speaking, she forcibly locked Wei An into the cell and pulled out all the hairpins on Wei An's head.
Previously, Wei An was amazed at Luo Xiaoran's lock-picking skills and pestered Luo Xiaoran to teach her.
Luo Xiaoran pulled out Wei An's hairpin because she was afraid that she would secretly unlock the door and run out.
Eunuch Sun, who had seen everything, walked calmly in front of Luo Xiaoran and softly said "please".
After Luo Xiaoran raised her foot to leave, Eunuch Sun looked at Wei An deeply again before following her.
……
The torture chambers in all directions, where prisoners were interrogated, were now empty.
As soon as Luo Xiaoran walked in, she saw various bloodstained torture instruments placed in the middle of the torture room, and she couldn't help but clench her back teeth.
When Luo Xiaoran stopped Wei An just now, her words were still very righteous.
But when she actually arrived at the torture room, her thighs still began to tremble slightly.
After all, it might be her mortal body that would be able to withstand the bone whip and iron hook of the Heavenly Prison...
