Chapter 372 Pills
Jin Yan just raised his hand slightly to signal, and the person next to him immediately understood and walked forward, slowly taking Chu Ziyu, who was covered in scars and blood, down from the torture instrument.
Due to being tightly bound by rough hemp ropes for a long time, Chu Ziyu's wrists had long been unable to bear the weight, and were covered with shocking bruises and bloodstains.
When the ropes were finally untied, the body that was supposed to have been freed seemed to have lost consciousness and had no reaction.
The long-term torture and pain made his nerves dull, and Chu Ziyu's body fell straight to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut. With a dull "bang", he fell heavily on the cold and hard ground, raising a small cloud of dust.
Chu Ziyu fell straight down, his eyes went dark, and there was no part of his body that didn't hurt.
"stand up."
The emperor's unhurried voice sounded beside Chu Ziyu's ears.
Chu Ziyu gritted his teeth and tried to stand up with his hands, but he failed after several attempts. Seeing this, Jin Yan walked quickly to his side and offered his hand to help him up. However, after Chu Ziyu stood up, he deliberately pushed his hand away.
The emperor looked at the two of them but didn't say much. He opened a small cabinet beside him, took out a black porcelain bottle, and threw it in front of Chu Ziyu: "Qin Yu, Prince Xiao has been in poor health recently. Doctor Li has prescribed medicine for him. I want you to put this pill into his medicinal diet."
Chu Ziyu endured the pain, picked up the medicine on the ground, and agreed, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations."
He clenched the pill in his hand, his mind full of thoughts. This pill must have a lot of meaning. Xiao Wang has always been a great concern to the emperor. Could this be a trap to poison Xiao Wang?
After Chu Ziyu left, the emperor looked at Jin Yan, "Why did you plead for him? Are you also in collusion with King Xiao?"
Jin Yan bowed his head respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I just think Chu Ziyu is useful. It would be a pity if he were to be wasted like this. Moreover, I believe he is loyal to Your Majesty."
The emperor looked at him deeply and said, "Jin Yan, I believe that you know what to do and what not to do."
As Chu Ziyu left the hall, a secret letter was delivered to the spy of Xiaowang Mansion through the canal and was urgently delivered to the palace.
As soon as Chu Ziyu walked out of the hall, Li Xiangbing supported her and said, "Xiaoyu, how could His Majesty hurt you like this?"
Chu Ziyu shook his head and looked at the guards at the door with a serious expression: "Master, thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. It's nothing, it's just a little punishment from His Majesty."
On the other hand, after Jin Yan left the palace, he already knew that the emperor was suspicious of him. He knew that the situation in the court was precarious, and Qin Yu's existence was like a key chess piece. Even if he didn't speak today, Qin Yu would only be punished more severely, and his life would not be in danger at all. However, thinking of Li Xiangbing...
At the same time, Jin Yan also secretly sent people to monitor Chu Ziyu's every move. Although he expressed his trust in Qin Yu to the emperor, he had to be on guard. He could not let Qin Yu implicate Li Xiangbing. This once was enough.
Chu Ziyu rebandaged his wounds at Li Xiangbing's residence, said goodbye to Li Xiangbing, and then left the palace.
However, there was one pill missing from the porcelain bottle.
In Prince Xiao's palace, Qin Ci'an, who was still deep in thought, was interrupted by Changfeng who ran in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the palace."
As Changfeng spoke, he took out a secret letter from his arms and presented it to Qin Ci'an. After reading the letter, his expression became complicated.
