Calcite was finally dragged out of the precept room.

The door was closed, and the sound of his silent struggle could still be heard from afar, and the large pool of blood he left in this small, cold room was emitting a strong and pungent smell of blood.

It makes people shudder.

But there was no movement on Nanyan's face, and his eyes were as cold as the frozen lake.

She slowly turned her head and met Shi Yi's smiling eyes.

The latter smiled and said, "Killing someone to kill his heart, the Empress has completely destroyed him."

“…”

"This person, even if he doesn't die, is useless."

Nan Yan said coldly: "Die must die."

“…”

"But if a person is harsh and hard-hearted, he will still look righteous when he dies until his death is over, and it will be boring to kill him. On the contrary, death is still a relief for him, which not only makes him happy, but also makes him and the people behind him proud."

“…”

"I want to make him suffer and fear him."

“…”

"It's a punishment to kill him like this."

He Yi nodded gently and stopped talking.

Standing on the other side of the precept room, Ruan Hengzhou and Zhu Chengxuan who had been silently watching this scene happening and ending, the two looked at each other.

There was a hint of panic in each other's eyes.

It’s not that they have seen someone commit torture, but they didn’t expect that the imperial concubine, who looks dignified and graceful on weekdays, would be so handy when using torture.

He didn't even blink his eyes.

Ruan Hengzhou didn't even dare to breathe, and just kept lowering his head, and his heart couldn't help feeling weak.

He remembered his sister, who had been in the palace for no reason and had caused trouble with the imperial concubine several times, but he didn't know how she survived.

In the future, I must find a way to pass a message to her so that she can be more peaceful in the palace.

Although this imperial concubine was just holding the phoenix seal and had no name for successor, she was now like a concubine of Quan. Even if the real Empress Renxiao was alive, she could not compete with her at all.

She is not easy to mess with.

At this moment, Nan Yan turned around and glanced at Ruan Hengzhou.

Ruan Hengzhou immediately walked out from behind the table and was about to bow to her, while Nan Yan said lightly: "Mr. Ruan, have the prisoner's confession recorded?"

Ruan Hengzhou immediately said: "The words to the Empress have been recorded."

Nan Yan said: "Get it done immediately and go back to Xuanqiong Temple with me."

"yes."

Nan Yan turned his head and looked at Zhu Chengxuan standing on the other side.

She could clearly feel that Zhu Chengxuan had a little fear in his gentle eyes.

Nan Yan slowly walked to him. At this time, He Yi and Ruan Hengzhou both left the precept room, as if they knew that the imperial concubine had something to say to the King of Wei, and they even covered the door with silence. Nan Yan said softly: "Do you think that this palace is too cruel?"

“…”

King Wei was silent for a while and looked at her again.

He whispered: "I, I'm just not used to it."

“…”

"I'm not used to the Empress's appearance..."

Nanyan smiled gently at him.

Then he said, "Your Highness, things have two sides. With light, there is darkness. With the clear and righteous punishment on the execution ground, there will be strict news in the heavenly prison."

“…”

"But these things are done separately."

Zhu Chengxuan hesitated for a moment, looked up at her, and Nan Yan said softly: "There are some things that the emperor will do when he is there; the emperor is injured and unconscious, so the palace will do it."

“…”

"Your Highness, don't worry."

“…”

Zhu Chengxuan gritted his teeth, and after a long time, he whispered: "Empress, I, I can do it too."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Even if you can, your highness would be better not to do these things. Your Highness is a benevolent prince, a future benevolent monarch whom all the people in the world have high hopes for. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about these things."

Zhu Chengxuan looked at her sadly: "Empress..."

Nan Yan smiled slightly at him.

After a sudden sound of horse hooves, Jiang Shan and a team of men finally arrived at the corner tower in the northeast of the outer city.

The heavy city gate has been closed.

However, a bitter wind continued to blow through the crack of the door. As soon as Jiang Shan and his horse stopped down the city tower, they felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards each other, and the horses under them neighed twice.

Jiang Shan immediately stopped his horse, turned over and jumped down, threw the reins to the soldiers behind him, and then walked forward. The soldiers on the city tower also saw him and hurried down to greet him.

"grown ups!"

Jiang Shan waved his hand and walked up the city tower while asking, "What happened just now?"

One of the guards followed him and said, "Just now, we found on the city tower that a little fire was shaking about a few miles away outside the city. Moreover, according to the speed and traces of the firelight moving, someone should be riding a horse and moving in the distance."

Jiang Shan said: "How many people are there?"

"They never got close, so they couldn't see clearly."

"Um?"

"However, the villain listened to the water jar down the city tower for a while. There were not many people there, no more than ten people at most."

There is a water jar buried in the land in the gates of all outer cities, filled with water. From time to time, people will go over to check. Once there is fluctuation in the water surface, it is proved that people and horses are approaching in the distance. Experienced soldiers can even judge the number of people and horses close by listening to the sounds in the water jar.

This is a method that soldiers guarding the city often use.

When Jiang Shan heard this, his brows frowned.

There are no more than ten people, which means that it is not a large army.

However, this is not surprising. Jiang Shan has been through the battle for a long time, and he himself knows that before a great battle, both sides of the war must send scouts and spies to inquire about the other party's situation. If it is a sneak attack, this is even more indispensable.

At present, something strange happened outside the city, and the number of people was not large.

This is exactly what the scout does.

In fact, since the emperor was still visiting Handongwei a few days ago, an imperial edict was sent back to make them more vigilant, especially when facing the country. In fact, shortly after the emperor's decree arrived, the scouts they sent also found that the country had added a lot of troops in the Great Wall Moat area in the north.

Although there is no clear intention to start a war, this is already a sign.

but

Jiang Shan asked: "Did those people get close to the imperial city?"

While speaking, they had already climbed to the city tower.

Immediately, Jiang Shan felt a bitter wind blowing towards him, almost causing him to take a step back. He immediately walked forward and looked out with the wall.

Outside, it was pitch black, like a thick layer of darkness covering the eyes.

There is nothing but the sound of the wind.

The guard said, "It's strange that the fire light went out after a while. No one was close to the imperial city."
