Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 119 Return from Purgatory

Mingque was so strong-willed that she was afraid of the so-called tigers and leopards playing in spring, but she would never betray her master. In order to prevent herself from being unable to withstand the torture and saying something unfavorable to Yuan Ying, she actually bit off her tongue.

Jiang Feng was shocked.

Li Longye pulled Jiang Feng over and wiped the blood off Jiang Feng's face with a handkerchief.

He also ordered someone to take Mingque down and find an imperial physician to stop the bleeding and treat her wounds. She must not be allowed to die like this.

Mingque was pulled away, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Feng.

Li Longye asked Youran to clean Jiang Feng's face with warm water, but Jiang Feng still felt the smell of blood on his face.

When she was in Zhongnan Mountain, her face was once covered in blood. At that time, she only felt her blood boiling and her courage.

But now, when Mingque's blood was spilled on the spot, she felt fear and disgust.

Finally, I couldn't help vomiting.

Li Longye waited until she calmed down before telling her, "Her life is not in danger, but her tongue cannot be saved."

Jiang Feng murmured: "Did I do something wrong?"

Seeing her like this, Li Longye hesitated whether to tell her the truth about Mingque's situation.

Jiang Feng saw Li Longye's dilemma and asked, "Your Majesty, just say what you want to say. Is there anything else I can't bear?"

Li Longye sighed and said, "Her personality has changed drastically, probably because she was tortured inhumanely before!"

Jiang Feng felt a breath of anger in her heart, she asked tremblingly: "Torture?"

Li Longye said: "The imperial physician examined her just now and found that her whole body was covered with old injuries, from whippings and burns, and not a single part of her body was healed."

Jiang Feng trembled all over and said, "So, Sister Yuan Ying must also..."

Li Longye didn't say anything. In fact, Mingque's injury was more serious than he said. One of her breasts was missing, and judging by the scar, it seemed that it had been bitten off.

Jiang Feng said: "All the torture they endured was because of the jade seal, right? Was it really worth it?"

Li Longye looked at Jiang Feng. If they were not strong, would Jiang Feng be the one who suffered those crimes?

He looked at Jiang Feng, whose face was pale, and only consoled him: "Since we have found Mingque, we are one step closer to Yuan Ying. Don't worry, if Yuan Ying is caught, no matter what mistakes she makes, I will protect her!"

Jiang Feng endured for a long time, and finally burst into tears. She leaned on Li Longye's chest and said, "Thank you."

The two were silent for a while.

Jiang Feng added: "According to the information leaked by Ming Que, Yuan Ying should be with Prince Ning. The assassination of Princess Taiping and the framing of the Crown Prince were planned by Prince Ning and Yuan Ying. However, it was not Prince Ning who did it in Luoyang."

Li Longye also nodded and said, "Pei Tan found some correspondence between the emperor and the court at his brother's house. It was written to Cui Shi."

Jiang Feng asked, "Cui Shi wants to kill me?"

Li Longye shook his head and said, "During the correspondence between Zheng Yin and Cui Shi, they mentioned a person named 'An Qing'. It seems that this person wants your life."

Jiang Feng lowered his head and repeated: "An Qing, An Qing."

No impression at all.

The two of them had been traveling all day, and when they arrived they interrogated Mingque, they were both extremely tired, so they went to bed early.

The next day, before dawn, Jiang Feng couldn't sleep anymore.

She pushed the door open and came out. You Ran and Qiao Qing were still sleeping.

Outside, Feng Changqing was holding a sword with his eyes closed.

Li Longye now wishes he could have someone to protect Jiang Feng closely, so it's no surprise that Feng Changqing is here.

Feng Changqing was very alert. When he saw Jiang Feng coming out with his clothes on, he said, "Sister."

Jiang Feng put his finger to his lips and made a gesture to keep quiet.

She whispered, "I can't sleep, take me to see the songbird."

Feng Changqing shook her head, indicating that she could not approach Mingque without Li Longye's order.

Jiang Feng knew that Feng Changqing was unwilling to do this, and it was useless to force him with a sword, so he had to reason with him and appeal to his emotions, saying: "Ming Que's sister is also my sister. We used to be very good, just like you and Daya. How can I ignore her now that she is like this?"

Feng Changqing thought for a moment, pointed his sword, and said, "Go this way."

The place where Mingque was imprisoned was a bit far from where Jiang Feng lived, and it took about a quarter of an hour to walk there.

From far away, he could faintly hear crying and shouting. Jiang Feng took a few quick steps and the sound became clearer. The sound was hoarse and shrill, and it made people shudder.

Although the sound faded, she still recognized it as that of a songbird.

The two guards at the door had been tortured to the point of collapse. They vomited out all the medicine the doctor had forced her to drink. Later, they tied her up and forced her to drink the medicine. She screamed and cried like this for the entire night.

Jiang Feng pushed the door open and was shocked by the scene.

Mingque was tied up like a mummy, but she was still struggling. Her hair was scattered, blood was gushing out of her mouth, and even pink tears of blood were flowing out of her eyes, just like a demon!

Jiang Feng felt as if her heart was being torn apart fiercely. She stepped forward and, without saying a word, began to untie her.

Feng Changqing stopped her: “Sister!”

Jiang Feng didn't care and still went to solve the problem.

The rope was covered in blood and was sticky, so I couldn't use any strength.

When the songbird saw her coming, it still stared at her fiercely and screamed.

Jiang Feng pulled out Feng Changqing's sword and cut the rope.

The singing sparrow broke free from its restraints and ran towards the river breeze, scratching, scratching, hitting and biting.

Jiang Feng didn't hide and let her fight.

Feng Changqing couldn't just leave it alone, so he stepped forward, grabbed Mingque's collar, and lifted him up like a chicken.

Jiang Feng screamed, "Put her down!"

Feng Changqing was stunned and gently put the kicking Mingque on the bed.

Jiang Feng found something wrong. Why were the two breasts so different in size?

She took a step forward, not caring that Feng Changqing was in front of her, and opened the front of Mingque's shirt.

What a body that is!

There were all kinds of scars, flesh was cut off everywhere, even the breasts were...

Mingque didn't even change his clothes, just staring at Jiang Feng's painful and frightened face.

She just let her watch.

Look, look at what the lady and I went through!

The lady's experience is only more miserable than mine.

Feel guilty, Jiang Feng!

All this is because of you!

Jiang Feng reacted and came forward screaming. She closed Mingque's clothes, hugged her and cried loudly!

Mingque originally didn't want her to hold her and struggled desperately, but Jiang Feng didn't know where he got the strength from and just held her tightly and wouldn't let go. Mingque slowly calmed down.

The bird finally cried out.

The cry was full of grievance, helplessness and pain.

Jiang Feng choked up and said, "Mingque, I promise you, I will find my sister and protect her! No one can hurt her again!"

The only response she got was crying.

Mingque finally calmed down, and Jiang Feng called the imperial physician again. The imperial physician had already lost her temper due to Mingque's torment. She refused to stop the pain or bleeding, and just kept crying.

If this goes on, even if there is a miracle doctor alive, he won't be able to save her life.

Seeing that she was now calm, the doctor, out of compassion, quickly fed her various medicines.

Perhaps the medicine had a calming effect, and soon the bird fell asleep.

Jiang Feng looked at this suffering girl and fell into deep thought.
