Does Chapter 196 look familiar?
After Zheng Luoqi arrested Tuoba Yanqi and all the other Northern Rong people, he began to issue a warrant for Tuoba Yanran's arrest. Xue Huaiyu also received the news.
Xue Huaiyu originally wanted to question Zheng Luoqi about why he had arrested the person without his permission, but Zheng Luoqi chose to put the person in the Imperial Guard. Furthermore, he didn't intend to torture the Beirong people without authorization, and besides, what if the Beirong people really had ulterior motives...
Therefore, Xue Huaiyu felt it was unnecessary to release the Beirong people. Although Zheng Luoqi's decision to arrest people without his consent was wrong, that was Xue Huaiyu's opinion.
After all, Xue Huaiyu understood the principle that those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. In the end, he did not go to Zheng Luoqi to release the person. It was safer to keep him locked up. After all, in the current situation, peace talks were impossible, and war was the only way out.
At this moment, Tuoba Yanran, who was hiding everywhere, just wanted to return to Beirong as soon as possible, because there were wanted people all over the Great Xia country for her.
She, the dignified Second Princess of Beirong, was treated like this by the people of Daxia. How dare Zheng Luoqi deceive her and use her to eliminate political enemies!
Tuoba Yanran secretly vowed that she would remember this humiliation, and that she would not be human if she did not avenge it! She would make the people of Great Xia pay the price for what they had done and wipe away their shame!

Zhi Jinwu
Upon seeing Zheng Luoqi arrive, Zhang Zhiyuan immediately led her to the dungeon where Tuoba Yanqi was imprisoned.
The dungeon was dimly lit, damp, and cold, filled with a putrid stench.
In the deepest part of the dungeon, Tuoba Yanqi was locked in a narrow cell. His hands and feet were chained, his clothes were tattered, his hair was disheveled and hanging over his shoulders, and his face was covered in dust. He squatted and leaned against the wall.
Tuoba Yanqi heard footsteps approaching slowly. He looked up, his eyes filled with anger, but when he saw Zheng Luoqi, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Oh! What wind has blown Lord Zheng here? He actually has time to come and see a prisoner like me?" Tuoba Yanqi's voice was full of sarcasm.
"Heh!" Zheng Luoqi chuckled coldly. He walked to the front of the cell and stared at Tuoba Yanqi through the cell door.
"Fifth Prince, guess why I haven't tortured you yet?" Zheng Luoqi smiled at Tuoba Yanqi, her eyes revealing a chilling and sinister look.
Tuoba Yanqi stared at Zheng Luoqi without fear and sneered, "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you. You think you can get the whereabouts of my imperial sister out of me? No way!"
Zheng Luoqi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile. He shook his head gently and said, "No, I think you've misunderstood. I just want to clarify one thing."
After saying that, Zheng Luoqi snapped her fingers, and then Boyu walked in with someone.
The woman was covered in wounds and pale-faced, but it was still clear that she was an exceptionally beautiful woman. Tuoba Yanqi recognized her at a glance.
"Does it look familiar?" Zheng Luoqi asked.
"Yunze!" Tuoba Yanqi called out, his voice filled with urgency and worry.
Upon hearing the sound, Yunze slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion and emptiness as he looked at Tuoba Yanqi, seemingly unable to distinguish whether what he was seeing was real or an illusion.
His tongue had been pulled out, so he could no longer speak and could only make some incoherent sounds, making it impossible for anyone to understand what he was trying to say.
Seeing Yunze's wretched state, Tuoba Yanqi's anger flared instantly. He glared fiercely at Zheng Luoqi, gritting his teeth as he demanded, "What did you do to him?"
Zheng Luoqi laughed smugly, his laughter filled with mockery and provocation: "As you can see, all you've done is pull out your tongue. This is your gift to me! It tastes quite good! Hahahaha..."
Zheng Luoqi's words were ambiguous, and Tuoba Yanqi couldn't hold back any longer after hearing them.
"How dare you treat him like this! I will never let you get away with this!" Tuoba Yanqi's eyes were practically spitting fire, his tone filled with rage.
"Oh? How exactly do you intend to not let him go?" Zheng Luoqi raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips. Then, he gripped Yunze's chin tightly again, forcing him to turn and look directly at him.
Zheng Luoqi's gaze was cold and ruthless, a stark contrast to Yun Ze's pained and desperate eyes.
Zheng Luoqi made a move to kiss Yunze in front of Tuoba Yanqi. Tuoba Yanqi's eyes were bloodshot as he saw Zheng Luoqi's action, and he roared angrily, "Zheng Luoqi, how dare you?"
Zheng Luoqi flung Yunze's chin aside and said, "What are you pretending for in front of me? You're a prisoner now, what can you do?"
Tuoba Yanqi was truly regretful at this moment. He thought that with Yunze's beauty and intelligence, he would definitely succeed. Even if he couldn't succeed, he would at least be able to escape. He never expected to be tormented like this by Zheng Luoqi.
Zheng Luoqi looked at Tuoba Yanqi's regretful expression, chuckled sarcastically, then shook her head and clicked her tongue repeatedly: "Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! If you really liked him that much, how could you bear to send him to me as a spy? What an idiot!"
Suddenly, Zheng Luoqi drew a sword from a guard beside her, pointed the tip at Yunze's neck, and threatened, "Explain yourself! Why did you choose to plant spies in the Prime Minister's residence instead of sending them into the palace?"
"Hehe! Your emperor is so stupid, isn't the entire Great Xia under the control of your Prime Minister's Mansion? As long as you control the Prime Minister's Mansion, isn't that the same as controlling the entire Great Xia? That's why we chose the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xue Huaiyu doesn't like men!" Tuoba Yanqi answered honestly.
"Hmph! You'd better tell the truth! What about the Second Princess? Which way did she run off to? Tell me now!" Zheng Luoqi pressed on.
Tuoba Yanqi replied indifferently, "I don't know!"
A flash of anger crossed Zheng Luoqi's face. He forcefully pushed the sword forward, and the tip of the sword sank into Yunze's neck, blood flowing down the blade.
Tuoba Yanqi stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, his face filled with terror. He was extremely anxious, but powerless to do anything about it.
Zheng Luoqi's voice carried a threatening tone as she continued to press, "If you don't speak up, I won't be so polite!"
Tuoba Yanqi's face turned deathly pale. He suppressed his anger, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth as he said, "I said I don't know, and I mean it! If you continue like this, you'll regret it!"
