many worries

The rain was getting heavier, Xiao Shishi held an umbrella and led the way for Jing Yan to a dilapidated and closed hut in the backyard.He has been with Emperor Yuande for almost 16 years, because he is brave and not afraid of death, and he handles things simply and neatly, so he has always been highly valued.Empress Chen died by hanging herself, and Jing Yan was deposed. Emperor Yuande still felt guilty about him. He didn't want to kill him at this time, but he was worried that the deposed prince would have a different intention, so he sent Xiao Shishi and another secret guard to Jing Yan. Yan's side took turns to monitor, and reported to Emperor Yuande every few days about the move of the abolished prince.Because this matter was very important, Xiao Shishi almost resigned from all other duties and focused on the affairs of the Taiqing Palace.

Jing Yan remembered the dates of the two secret guards' shifts in his mind, Xiao Shishi was there more often, while the other was less.If it wasn't Xiao Shishi that day, he and Qiao Yu would have restrained themselves, mostly reading Buddhist scriptures in the room, and occasionally talking a few words.Qiao Yu had a big heart and didn't know why, so she had fun in the yard by herself.But he didn't ask Qiao Yu to change his words. Even if he called him "Prince" or "His Royal Highness", it was irrelevant.

This is a necessary flaw or a tell.

He thought casually, if the deposed prince Jing Yan was really well-behaved, acted calmly, and made no mistakes at all, he would not be able to reassure Emperor Yuande.

The place where the blessings were placed was in a dilapidated hut in the backyard of the Taiqing Palace. Even in winter, the musty smell was very strong.Xiao Shishi went in first, looked around carefully, blocked the damaged and leaky places with old wood and bricks, lit a candle, and welcomed the prince in.

Both of them were tied tightly with ropes, and they half-lyed on the ground, completely inferior to his brother. At this moment, they were already terrified, trembling all over, gagged and whining.But Defu was much calmer, curled up, squinted his eyes under the slight light, his eyes lingered on the faces of Jing Yan and Xiao 14.

Xiao Shishi told Jing Yan in a low voice what he had found and interrogated, including the chance encounter between Qiao Yu and De Fu Dequan in the imperial dining room more than a month ago, and De Quan was thwarted by Yi Xin when he planned to do something wrong.Later, when Liuyu made a report and Qiao Yu's identity was exposed, Defu had other thoughts, which led to what happened today.

Liuyu's name has now been assigned to Shenyun Palace, and it was Sheng Hai who reported the roster to it.

Jing Yan nodded slightly, he was not very interested today, and asked in a low voice, "Which one moved the hand?"

Xiao Shishi was taken aback.He had done many things for the prince in the past, but he had never been asked these questions, so he didn't prepare in advance, but he reacted immediately, took two steps forward, and took the cloth out of his mouth.Dequan's voice was hoarse from the medicine, and he could no longer shout loudly.Xiao Shishi kicked him, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of leaving any traces, so he could only ask a few harsh words.

Dequan sneaked a glance at Defu, probably the pain hadn't reached his bones yet, but at this moment his mouth was very strict, he wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but he hesitated to speak.

Jing Yan smiled at him, and said flatly: "Don't want to say it? Forget it."

Dequan was terrified for a while, he only knew that the crown prince was deposed and Concubine Feng Gui had gained power, but he never thought that the crown prince was not completely depressed and had no power in the palace.

Xiao Shishi wanted to ask again, but Jing Yan shook his head. He walked behind Defu, leaned over to untie the rope slightly, looked at Defu, and said firmly: "It's you, he doesn't have the guts."

After saying that, Jing Yan lifted his foot, and crushed one of Defu's fingers casually, and then the next one. All ten fingers were broken one by one, and the original shape could not be seen.Ten fingers connected to the heart, no matter how much Defu could bear it, his whole body would twitch in pain at this moment, wishing to die immediately, but he couldn't make a sound, it could only be stuck in his heart.

Jing Yan crushed one hand and moved to the other side.His eyes were deep and gloomy, his black soap boots were stained with blood, leaving a small series of faint footprints, and he laughed again, "My fault, I didn't expect you dogs to be watching here. I heard that you still want to touch him? What a trouble."

Defu can't speak or move, he can only bear the pain, Jing Yan has never been merciful, just rubbed his fingers with his heels, and said slowly: "I'm not an unreasonable person, the person who moved me, It doesn't matter, just pay back ten times."

The sound of the rain outside is getting louder, but this place inside is almost frozen, even the sound of breathing is almost gone.

Xiao Shishi's eyes widened in surprise, and he tied everything up again, not daring to speak.In his impression, although the prince practiced martial arts since he was a child, he never did it himself, nor would he do such unnecessary things.If torture can make one spit out useful news, then the crown prince will order.But if this person has no other value, the prince will only take that person's life, and will not even put the slightest attention on it.

Jing Yan has always done things like this, he only needs results, the process is simple, and he doesn't cause troubles so as not to make mistakes.Just like this time, Xiao Shishi even thought that if the prince was tortured this time, the prince would be able to endure it without moving his face.

this is an accident.

Whether it was Qiao Yu or this incident, it was an accident.

Jing Yan crushed Defu's ten fingers slowly, then got up slowly, walked a little farther, and looked at the two of them.

He half-closed his eyes, and said softly: "If you want to be perfect, just use stickers to add officials, and don't leave any traces. As for getting blessings, use more torture, and let him close his eyes only at Yinshi, don't care what the corpse looks like."

Xiao Shishi was a little hesitant, if he used all the words to add officials, he could still use drowning to fool him, but if Defu was like this, he couldn't hide it anymore.But he thought that the prince had trampled on Defu's ten phalanges, and it was irreparable, so that was the only way to go.

He has been a secret guard for so many years, he is used to seeing the secrets in the palace, he has countless lives in his hands, and he is also proficient in lynching.Even if there are no tools here, it can be said that if you are lucky, you can't survive.

Everywhere was soaked in the iron smell of blood, Jing Yan stepped back and gathered his left sleeve to prevent the blood from splashing on it.

Xiao Shishi raised his eyelids to look, and could vaguely see a large mass of black thread sewn on the cuff, but couldn't make out what it was.He blurted out and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do with these two people?"

Jing Yan thought for a moment, then casually said: "If you get it all, let him die by drowning for no reason, and then find someone to disguise himself as a blessing and enter Shenyun Palace. Hasn't Sheng Hai not always been trusted by Feng Nannan? Find an opportunity, Let’s just say that the two of them acted recklessly and brought their idea to the Taiqing Palace, and he smashed it, Liuyu is the witness and the physical evidence.”

Now it's the cusp of the storm, Feng Nannan tried every means to break off the relationship with Taiqing Palace, but she did it with all her blessings. With her personality, she must be tightly locked in Shenyun Palace, and she will never spread it to the outside world.

When he ordered these things, he didn't treat people as people, but as objects that could be used.

Even though Jing Yan was used to reading Buddhist classics, he never had much mercy.

Probably the fate judgment presided over by Dabei Temple frightened Empress Chen. When Jing Yan realized what happened, Empress Chen taught him to read scriptures, observe Buddha, and have good thoughts in his heart.But the situation in the palace is not what it used to be, the situation is too bad, and she has to teach Jing Yan how to be on guard, be vigilant, and even preemptively kill people.

Jing Yan grew up amidst such contradictions.

When he was seven years old, he couldn't suppress his doubts for the first time. He tugged on Empress Chen's sleeve and asked, "Since my Buddha is merciful, why are all sentient beings suffering?"

Empress Chen was taken aback, unable to answer.

Jing Yan then understood that my Buddha is merciful, but he can't.
