Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationĀ Ā Ā Ā Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
āThe Empress Dowager is looking for someone again. We have to send more people,ā Marquis Ji muttered to himself as he said, āQiweiā¦ā
Without waiting for Marquis Ji to finish, Ji Qiwei hurriedly said, āFather, there is no need to worry. I will arrange for things right away. I will send most of our men to cover the area.ā
āAs you should.ā Marquis Ji nodded.
Ji Qiwei went to work.
Seeing her brother leave the dungeon, Consort Yi said, āFather, itās getting late.
I have to return to the palace to avoid being discovered.ā
āAlright, I should rest too. Iāve been busy all day.ā Marquis Ji said.
āPlease, take care of your health.ā Consort Yi said as she held onto Marquis Jiās arm.
Marquis Ji patted her hand in gratification.
However, before the two of them could go up the stairs and leave the dungeon, they heard a voice from the dungeon. āWhere am Iā¦ā
Marquis Ji and Consort Yi were stunned at first, but then they quickly turned around and came to the cell of the foolish secret guard. Sure enough, they saw the foolish secret guard lying on the straw, holding his head as he opened his eyes in a daze, as if he couldnāt react to where he was.
Wasnāt he supposed to be foolish?
How did he wake up?
Marquis Ji and Consort Yi were delighted.
He didnāt expect that angry kick to actually wake him up. If luck wasnāt on her side, what was?
āYou should return to the palace. Leave this to me!ā Marquis Ji was extremely excited.
āAlright, Iāll wait for your good news.ā Consort Yi was also very excited with the sudden change. She knew that she had to hurry back to the palace, so she quickly left.
When the guard saw that he was in the cell and that Marquis Ji was standing outside, he immediately wanted to commit suicide.
As a secret guard, he knew what awaited him after he was captured.
Even though he had no idea how he had ended up in Marquis Jiās handsā¦ He would willingly kill himself before finding out.
However, Marquis Jiās men were even faster. They had already grabbed his jaw and pinned him down, preventing him from committing suicide.
Marquis Ji did not personally interrogate this secret guard, but left it to the people in the cell. Everyone in the cell knew how to use torture instruments to make a person wish they were dead.
Obviously, he would not meddle with the professionals. Moreover, he wanted the person to tell him everything he knew.
Of course, he wanted to make this secret guard suffer a fate worse than death.
It wasnāt even dawn yet, but the secret guard couldnāt stand the torture. He nodded and confessed with his body covered in blood.
Only then did Marquis Ji and Ji Qiwei enter the cell.
The secret guard was tied to the cross, and there were a few people standing beside him. They all stared at the secret guard closely, in case the secret guard was playing with them and actually wanted to commit suicide. They could not let the secret guard die no matter what.
āHurry up and tell me, where is the Crown Prince!ā Ji Qiwei asked sternly, holding a whip dipped in salt and chili in his hand, ready to lash the secret guard at any moment.
The secret guard was weak. He was tied to the frame with strong rope. He was almost unconscious as he jumped out word by word.
āInā¦ in Xinyuan County. Iā¦ I wasā¦ I remember it was on April twentiethā¦ I took the Crown Princeā¦
āLeft himā¦ In Xinyuan Countyā¦ A benevolent Wei familyā¦ At the doorā¦
āI watched as the people of the Wei family carried him intoā¦ If I go, Iāllā¦ Then, I went to Lingshan Townā¦ The Crown Prince was not safeā¦ I wanted to lure away the people who were chasing after me and the Crown Princeā¦
āThere was a great person thereā¦ He should be able to take good care of the Crown Princeā¦ Iā¦ I wanted to go furtherā¦ But I couldnāt walk anymore, and then, I collapsedā¦ After that, I didnāt know anything elseā¦
āI donāt know anythingā¦.ā
