I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

"I think Mrs. Luo has repented." Wei Cang said bluntly: "Otherwise she would not have stopped the ferret. You were also present at the time. If she insisted on letting the beast hurt people, although it may not be possible in the end. If we can escape, we will definitely be injured.”

"Moreover, the prescription for extracting the poison was originally created by her. If the time comes, I don't know if Dr. Xue alone can successfully save the person. So..."

When he said this, he knelt straight down: "I beg you, Lord, to give Wei Lian another chance to change his ways!"

At this moment, Xingyi had already walked in with several stars, carrying a copper basin, toiletries and clothes.

Mr. Mo wiped his face with a wet towel, glanced at Wei Ying and others kneeling in front of the door, and sighed: "Wei Cang. You can all see Wei Lian's talent and think she is excusable. Could it be that only I'm alone, my eyes and ears are closed, and I'm inhumane?"

"I never meant this. It's just..." Wei Cang leaned down.

"Get up." Mr. Mo took the light tea and rinsed his mouth: "I didn't plan to do anything to her. Now go and call her to prepare for the meal. Forget it, she probably didn't sleep well last night, so she'd better wait for someone to wake up. Come and see me after you've had your morning meal."

After he said these words, he dipped a willow branch in green salt and rubbed his teeth carefully.

However, Wei Cang heard another meaning from his words, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "But my lord, Wei Lian was taken away by Wei Xia last night, and he said he would interrogate him overnight."

Sawdust rustled and slipped from the slender jade fingertips.

In the suffocating silence, Wei Cang felt a sharp gaze directly on the back of his neck, like a thorn in his back.

The black-soled pine-patterned boots paused in front of him for a long time, then suddenly stepped out.The hands behind his back were clenched tightly at this moment.

Wei Cang knew his responsibilities and did not need Mr. Mo to say anything, so he stood up and chased him out, while waving his hand to call out the people kneeling on the ground outside.

Ji 21 rubbed his eyes and yawned, and walked towards the person who came to change his shift with empty steps:
"You're finally here. It was really late last night... I really couldn't hold it in any longer, so I had to go back to sleep quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw three other Thorn Guards kneeling on one knee: "Welcome to you, Your Majesty!"

Ji 21 turned around in shock and saw only a black hem of clothes.Wei Cang, Wei Ying and several personal guards followed closely behind, each with a solemn expression and without saying a word, and they disappeared into the dark door in an instant.

He looked at his brothers blankly: "Am I right? The Lord has come in person? When did he ever set foot in our place?"

The faces of the other Thorn Guards were also full of doubts. Ji Shisan suddenly slapped his thigh: "Is it possible that the Lord wants to personally interrogate Wei Lian?"

"It's not impossible. That's a crime of defection. I haven't heard of it in recent years. This Wei Lian is really bold. No wonder the Lord is angry." Ji Shiwu said.

"21, you are on duty in the second half of the night. Do you know if Wei Lian was recruited or who was bewitched by someone to commit such a serious crime? Or is she a spy who sneaked into the valley?" Ji Qi asked.

"I have been guarding the door last night and don't know much about the inside story. I only know that it was the Chief of Guard who personally interrogated." Ji 21 looked troubled: "By the way, later Ji Yi personally invited Mr. Xue to come back and called people to pick him up several times. The medicine, I heard, is used to stop bleeding and relieve pain - he must have been severely punished."

These Thorny Guards all followed Wei Xia to hunt down Luo Qianhuai last night. They had seen her true face under the mask and were a little surprised when they heard this.

His own guard master rarely interrogates in person, but if anyone encounters him, he will definitely be a human being. "Such a delicate little lady, even if she survives, she will definitely be useless." Ji Shisan sighed.

"What are you thinking about?" Ji Qi glared at him fiercely: "As the leader of the Nine Guards Competition, defecting just after being re-employed by the Lord is already a heinous crime. What's more, she also hurt the Lord of Guards, and her death is He is destined to die, but he will not suffer any less of the punishment he deserves."

"Who says it's not the case?" Ji 21 and others nodded in agreement: "It's a pity that such a talented person refuses to be loyal to the Lord."

"Your Majesty, Wei Lian is in the room, and so is our Guard Master, as well as Dr. Xue." Ji Yi, who was leading the way, said respectfully, but his heart was filled with ups and downs.

This Wei Lian failed to honor his kindness, hurt others and defected. It is no wonder that the Lord was so angry that he actually broke the rules for many years and personally deposed the Thorn Guard.

Presumably he was also eager to see the results of the interrogation.It's just that something unexpected happened last night, and I still haven't found anything yet. I'm afraid the leader will be disappointed.

Through the heavy wooden door, Mr. Mo could smell the strong smell of blood.He had seen Wei Xia's miserable human form after interrogation, and he was completely indifferent at that time, but if that person were Mrs. Luo, he didn't dare to think about what she would look like.

The air-conditioning around him became stronger and stronger, and an endless storm seemed to be gathering in his eyes.Wei Cang carefully glanced at his master and spoke before everything got out of hand:

"Open the door."

The door opened, and the smell of blood and herbs filled the air.

There was no one in the torture chamber, the mottled torture frame stood in vain, and a few iron ropes hung in the air.I don’t know when the charcoal fire in the iron basin was extinguished. There were three or four soldering irons of different shapes inserted in it.

Mr. Mo's eyes passed over the various torture instruments one by one, and finally stopped on the ground.Dark red blood spattered on the blue-black stones, and broken wine bottles, cups and bowls were scattered all around.

Ji Yi rushed forward and pushed open a stone door on the wall: "My lord, the torture chamber is dirty. Please be careful where you step."

Mr. Mo entered first without saying a word. His eyes wandered around the room for a moment, and he took in everything.

There was a person lying on the low couch, but it was not Mrs. Luo, but Wei Xia.He lay on his back on the bed, his eyes closed, but his breathing was slow and strong.The wound on the shoulder was open, with a linen strip stuck in the middle for unknown purposes.

Xue Wen was sitting next to him, holding a bowl of You Zai's steaming medicinal soup in his hand. When he saw them suddenly coming in, he quickly stood up to greet them.

Luo Qianhuai was leaning on the table opposite the couch, leaning his head on his left hand and sleeping with his eyes closed, completely unaware of anyone entering.

Her body was not clean. The dark gray robe she wore last night had disappeared. Only the light purple high-waisted skirt was left. It was stained with a lot of dirt and dust, and there were also some reddish-brown marks. It is full of clothes and cuffs, dotted and connected into pieces.

Mr. Mo's eyes darkened, and he had already flashed in front of the desk. He took Luo Qianhuai's left hand with one hand, and lifted up her sleeve with the other hand, revealing a forearm like a lotus root.

Her hands were cold, as were her wrists and arms. They were slender and white, complementing the exquisite gold bracelets, but there were no scars.
