Chapter 419: King Kang escapes from prison
After a moment, Concubine Rou took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, as if to calm herself down.
Then, she raised her head, looked at the evil king and Jiang Yimo and said, "I don't know who Eunuch Li and Eunuch Ma are."
After he finished speaking, Feng Wuhen's eyes became even colder.
"Don't know? That's fine. I have plenty of ways to let you know."
After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the guards around him to take action.
Then, two jailers immediately picked up the red-hot torture instruments in the boiler and walked towards Concubine Rou and Prince Kang with cold and ruthless faces, which made people shudder.
In the past, these red-hot torture instruments were Concubine Rou and Prince Kang's favorite tools for torturing others.
However, what they never expected was that now they, mother and son, would become the ones to suffer this punishment.
When Concubine Rou saw this scene, she became even more panicked. She widened her eyes and her body trembled, as if she couldn't believe the reality before her.
King Kang seemed a little calmer. After all, he had seen too much ugliness and filth.
But despite this, a trace of fear still welled up in his heart.
Just when the red-hot torture instrument was about to fall on the faces of the mother and son, King Kang called a stop and shifted his gaze away from the person he loved - Jiang Yimo.
"stop!"
"Seventh Brother, I will tell you."
After saying this, the torture instruments in the hands of the two jailers moved away from Concubine Rou and King Kang, and they turned to look at King Xie.
After seeing the Evil King nod, the two jailers threw the torture instruments back into the boiler.
Only then did Concubine Rou and Prince Kang breathe a sigh of relief.
Feng Wuhen stared at them with cold eyes, as if he wanted to see through them, and said coldly: "Tell me, where is Eunuch Li imprisoned?"
Prince Kang felt a little frightened when he saw Feng Wuhen's cold eyes. His tone was still cold, but he still answered the question truthfully.
"My mother and I did not imprison Eunuch Li. That night, Eunuch Li was taken away by King You's men. My mother and I are also very puzzled as to why he only took King You away, and we don't know where King You took Eunuch Li."
Feng Wuhen frowned after hearing this, as if he was thinking about whether what King Kang said was true.
"Are you telling the truth?"
King Kang looked at Feng Wuhen with disdain, a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Eunuch Li is just a eunuch, insignificant to us, why should I lie."
Feng Wuhen carefully observed King Kang's expression, trying to find a flaw in his eyes and tone. However, King Kang's performance made it impossible for him to judge whether he was lying.
After some thought, Feng Wuhen decided to trust King Kang once.
There was really no need for King Kang to lie for the sake of an insignificant eunuch.
So Feng Wuhen waved his hand, signaling the guards to put Prince Kang and Princess Kang back into jail.
This time, Feng Wuhen deliberately separated the mother and son, and made the cells very far apart to prevent them from having the opportunity to communicate or plot anything.
……
The next morning, the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month blew into the house through the cracks.
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen had just enjoyed a hearty breakfast and were preparing to start a new day.
However, they soon learned three important pieces of news, which had both good and worrying aspects.
The first news was that Concubine Rou was poisoned to death, and Prince Kang took the opportunity to escape.
This news shocked and worried Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen, because King Kang's escape might cause more trouble.
The second piece of news brought some comfort. Eunuch Li, who had been missing for many days, was finally found and sent back to the palace.
This was good news for them, as it meant they could get more information about King You from Eunuch Li.
The third piece of news made Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen fall into deep thought. It turned out that Princess Cangyue was the baby girl that Lan Xin gave birth to that year.
This was a good thing for them because the royal bloodline did not fall into the hands of the common people and suffer misfortune.
And the emperor also conferred the title of noble lady on Lan Xin.
Faced with this news, Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen decided to go to the palace immediately to learn more about the situation and take corresponding measures.
They hope to find King Kang as soon as possible to resolve the crisis, and also to get to the bottom of the matter regarding Eunuch Li.
After the two entered the palace, they rushed to the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and waited. At this moment, Eunuch Li was standing beside the old emperor serving him.
Upon hearing the news that the Evil King and Jiang Yimo were coming to the Yangxin Palace, Eunuch Li immediately welcomed them into the palace in person.
At the same time, the Evil King and Feng Wuhen were always closely watching Eunuch Li's every move. They were more or less wary of the old eunuch, worried that he had been replaced by someone else.
However, after careful observation, they did not notice anything unusual about Eunuch Li.
After the two men saluted the old emperor, they looked at Eunuch Li again.
"Eunuch Li, where have you been these days?" the evil king asked.
Eunuch Li quickly replied, "Your Highness, that night I was knocked unconscious by several men in black and taken out of the palace."
"After I woke up, I found myself locked up in a deserted house. They didn't seem to intend to kill me, they just locked me up."
"The minions have been trying to escape but have never been able to do so."
"It was not until this morning that I heard some noise outside and shouted for help. I was eventually found and rescued by patrolling soldiers."
After listening to this, Feng Wuhen nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.
Eunuch Li's words sounded flawless, but it was precisely because the answer was too perfect that it aroused his suspicion.
He was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then, Eunuch Li, do you know who those people were who took you away?"
Eunuch Li lowered his head, thought for a moment and said, "When I woke up, I just heard them say that it was someone from the Hundred Ghosts Sect."
Feng Wuhen frowned. Hundred Ghosts Gate? It seemed that it was really the King You's men who took Eunuch Li away.
But why did they arrest Eunuch Li?
They also suspected that the eunuch Li in front of them had been replaced or brainwashed.
In short, when they saw the current Eunuch Li, they immediately smelled a conspiracy.
