Chapter 727 - Chapter 727: Awake Chapter 727: Awake
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The Empress Dowager is looking for someone again. We have to send more people,” Marquis Ji muttered to himself as he said, “Qiwei…”
Without waiting for Marquis Ji to finish, Ji Qiwei hurriedly said, “Father, there is no need to worry. I will arrange for things right away. I will send most of our men to cover the area.”
“As you should.” Marquis Ji nodded.
Ji Qiwei went to work.
Seeing her brother leave the dungeon, Consort Yi said, “Father, it’s getting late.
I have to return to the palace to avoid being discovered.”
“Alright, I should rest too. I’ve been busy all day.” Marquis Ji said.
“Please, take care of your health.” Consort Yi said as she held onto Marquis Ji’s arm.
Marquis Ji patted her hand in gratification.
However, before the two of them could go up the stairs and leave the dungeon, they heard a voice from the dungeon. “Where am I…”
Marquis Ji and Consort Yi were stunned at first, but then they quickly turned around and came to the cell of the foolish secret guard. Sure enough, they saw the foolish secret guard lying on the straw, holding his head as he opened his eyes in a daze, as if he couldn’t react to where he was.
Wasn’t he supposed to be foolish?
How did he wake up?
Marquis Ji and Consort Yi were delighted.
He didn’t expect that angry kick to actually wake him up. If luck wasn’t on her side, what was?
“You should return to the palace. Leave this to me!” Marquis Ji was extremely excited.
“Alright, I’ll wait for your good news.” Consort Yi was also very excited with the sudden change. She knew that she had to hurry back to the palace, so she quickly left.
When the guard saw that he was in the cell and that Marquis Ji was standing outside, he immediately wanted to commit suicide.
As a secret guard, he knew what awaited him after he was captured.
Even though he had no idea how he had ended up in Marquis Ji’s hands… He would willingly kill himself before finding out.
However, Marquis Ji’s men were even faster. They had already grabbed his jaw and pinned him down, preventing him from committing suicide.
Marquis Ji did not personally interrogate this secret guard, but left it to the people in the cell. Everyone in the cell knew how to use torture instruments to make a person wish they were dead.
Obviously, he would not meddle with the professionals. Moreover, he wanted the person to tell him everything he knew.
Of course, he wanted to make this secret guard suffer a fate worse than death.
It wasn’t even dawn yet, but the secret guard couldn’t stand the torture. He nodded and confessed with his body covered in blood.
Only then did Marquis Ji and Ji Qiwei enter the cell.
The secret guard was tied to the cross, and there were a few people standing beside him. They all stared at the secret guard closely, in case the secret guard was playing with them and actually wanted to commit suicide. They could not let the secret guard die no matter what.
“Hurry up and tell me, where is the Crown Prince!” Ji Qiwei asked sternly, holding a whip dipped in salt and chili in his hand, ready to lash the secret guard at any moment.
The secret guard was weak. He was tied to the frame with strong rope. He was almost unconscious as he jumped out word by word.
“In… in Xinyuan County. I… I was… I remember it was on April twentieth… I took the Crown Prince…
“Left him… In Xinyuan County… A benevolent Wei family… At the door…
“I watched as the people of the Wei family carried him into… If I go, I’ll… Then, I went to Lingshan Town… The Crown Prince was not safe… I wanted to lure away the people who were chasing after me and the Crown Prince…
“There was a great person there… He should be able to take good care of the Crown Prince… I… I wanted to go further… But I couldn’t walk anymore, and then, I collapsed… After that, I didn’t know anything else…
“I don’t know anything….”
