Chapter 165.2: Your Majesty, Something Terrible Has HappenedOriginal and most updated translations are on volare. If this is being found anywhere else, it has been stolen. Donโt support theft. ๐
After being untied, Tang Doudou felt much better. She rubbed her shoulders and thighs and was just about to stand up to do some stretching exercises when she saw Xi Qiuyiโs irritated expression. So instead, she unhurriedly picked up the food in front of her and started to eat.
She didnโt know for the time being whether Xi Qiuyi knew martial arts, but she knew she definitely couldnโt beat Liu Yan.
So she shouldnโt even bother thinking about using martial arts to escape.
However, to tell them the secrets she knew about Baili Yuโฆ Her heart refused. As of now, she and Baili Yu were already tied to the same boat. The only road that remained after she gave up everything she knew would be death.
Not to mention, everything she knew about Baili Yu were in regards to his vulnerable spots; for example things like the Hoarfrost Poison, his constitution that wouldnโt โgo dieโ easilyโฆ
Was there a single piece of information that wasnโt lethal to him?
Xi Qiuyiโs patience was pretty good after all. He watched until Tang Doudou finally finished eating, until not a single grain of rice was left, before saying, โHad a nice meal?โ
โNo. The taste was seriously terrible, like pig feed. It was disgusting, way too disgusting!โ Tang Doudou who was currently deep in thought automatically replied before her brain caught up and she recalled who she was talking to.
She was telling the truth though, this meal was indeed not tasty. After all, it was food for servants.
However, she didnโt have the privilege of being picky right now. So, despite it being bad tasting, she didnโt leave even half a grain of rice behind.
โFrom the looks of it, Alliance Head Li still hasnโt made sense of the situation. Liu Yan, call people in to properly educate our Alliance Head Li on what this place is!โ It was already pretty good treatment to give him food to eat. If it werenโt for that fact that he was worried Li Xueyi would die during the torture if his body was too weak, there was no way he would have fed him. This guy was too naive.
Did he seriously think that he was unaware of his little scheme?
He was trying to prevent him from using torture and to stall for time, but he insisted on using torture and not giving him a chance to stall for time. Heโd like to see what other tricks this guy could come up with!
Of course, if he really came to understand the situation and told him everything he wanted to know, thenโฆ
In a good mood, he would definitely allow this guy to die with an intact corpse.
After glancing coldly at Tang Doudou who was still unaware of the tragedy that was about to befall her, Xi Qiuyi turned and left the prison.
โHey hey! Xi Qiuyi, where are you going? I was just about to discuss things with you, you canโt leave!โ Tang Doudou saw that several muscular men were approaching the prison and hastily shouted for Xi Qiuyi to come back.
F*ck! What exactly did this bastard want!?
Didnโt he agree to listen to her? Wasnโt his change in attitude a little too quick?
โXi Qiuyi! Stop right there!โ
However, no matter how she shouted, Xi Qiuyi kept walking without a pause. At the same time, those men grabbed her and restrained her. โBehave!โ
After that warning, they tied her up again, then lifted her out of the prison and carried her into the ominous interrogation room next door.
โSit down! Youโre not allowed to move!โ The man fiercely pressed Tang Doudou down onto a simple and unadorned chair. Its surface was filled with gorges, both deep and shallow ones. Thick blackish-red bloodstains were collected in them. Tang Doudou immediately became fearful upon noticing them.
โWhereโs Xi Qiuyi? What exactly does he mean by this!?โ Tang Doudou struggled but only ended up being pressed down to the chair even more forcefully.
Bang bang bang!
Mechanical sounds rang out and iron rings clamped down on her arms and legs. She couldnโt move at all.
โHis Majesty said to give you half an incenseโs time to think. After you finish thinking, confess everything you know and weโll leave you an intact corpse, otherwiseโฆโ Liu Yan threw the plate Xi Qiuyi crushed earlier in front of her. โSee for yourself!โ
From the looks of it, Xi Qiuyi had already guessed her motive way earlier.
Tang Doudou laughed at herself, feeling defeated. She was always thinking too highly of herself. Now it was just great. She thought she was so smart but the person had long seen through her. In her ignorance, she actually made a fool of herself for so long.
Everyone left, leaving Tang Doudou alone in the dark interrogation room with a simple, dim oil lamp. The swaying light made Tang Doudouโs pale face seem even paler as she stared ahead dully. What should she do now?
Death wasnโt scary, what was scary was as Xi Qiuyi said when you wanted to die but could not!
Currently, cold lifeless instruments surrounded her. She could roughly guess what each tool was used for by their shapes. With dark red blood staining them, the sight was extremely terrifying.
Tang Doudou closed her eyes. She didnโt dare to continue this line of thought.
Meanwhile, Jun Xin had searched the entire city but still couldnโt find Tang Doudou. When the thought occurred to him that something might have already happened to her, his wrathful aura rushed uncontrollably outwards.
After he returned to Bai Courtyard and heard Yuner haltingly tell him everything that happened, his wrathful aura immediately turned into a dark and vicious aura. Yuner was so scared he didnโt even remember to cry and just stared fearfully at him.
Jun Xin left the courtyard without even glancing at him. His figure was like lightning. In just a couple of breaths, he had arrived at the entrance of the Imperial City.
โWho are you!? Why are you here? This isnโt a place you can tour. Hurry up and leave!โ Jun Xin was blocked by the soldiers guarding the door the moment he approached.
Jun Xin swept his cold eyes over the soldier that was speaking and that soldier instantly turned to chunks of mangled flesh right in front of everyone.
Ignoring their fearful stares, Jun Xin said coldly, โTell Xi Qiulin to come out!โ
โAudacious!โ Although they were all so scared that they were trembling, someone still dared to step out. It was just that his voice trembled a lot as he spoke. โY-you dareโฆ to directly call His Majestyโs honored name! A-are you seeking death!?โ
Jun Xin didnโt bother wasting time talking to him. Extending his hand and pushing forward, formless energy gathered in front of him and sent that person flying into the sky.
โNo one wants to call him?โ
โIf thatโs the case, Iโll go myself.โ
As he spoke, he approached the entrance and gave a light push. The city doors that weighed over three thousand catties immediately distorted under the force. It could be imagined how terrifying Jun Xin currently was!
The Imperial City had long already gotten the news. Countless archers flocked out and concealed themselves in the darkness, leaving visible only the arrow points that glimmered with cold light. They were all aimed at Jun Xin, who was walking step by step slowly into the Imperial City. It seemed that those arrows would fly over mercilessly the moment there was the slightest disturbance.
Jun Xin wasnโt worried at all as he continued to advance.
โFreeze! Take one more step and weโll shoot!โ
Jun Xin replied disdainfully, โDo you dare to try shooting?โ
Who exactly was this person!?
At the same time, Xi Qiuyi also received the news. He looked with shock at the servant who had informed him of this incident. โYou said that Jun Xin has barged into the Imperial City?โ
โYes!โ
Why would it be Jun Xin?
โGo investigate what exactly happened!โ Xi Qiuyi glanced at Elder Yu who was sitting next to him. โGet people to stop Jun Xin as soon as possible. Imperial Father cannot find out about this matter!โ
Elder Yu nodded. โIt was definitely Baili Yu who sent Jun Xin to find His Majesty. Indeed, we cannot let him reach His Majesty!โ
โHowever, Iโm afraid your people will not be able to stop Blood Fiend Jun Xin!โ
โThen what does Elder Yu suggest?โ Xi Qiuyi was currently very anxious. He had carried this out while keeping it secret from his imperial father. If he was discovered, due to Baili Yu, Imperial Father would definitely punish him severely.
โYour Majesty, no need to worry.โ Elder Yu stroked his beard. โJun Xin wouldnโt be able to cause much of a rippleโฆโ
Before his voice even faded, a manservant rushed in. โItโs not good, itโs not good! Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!โ
