Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: Interrogated in Person
Ye Yiheng asked, "Are you sure Ye Zhenxian doesn’t recognize the other party?"
Mo Chen replied, "Yes, we’re sure, we used torture."
As members of the Eastern Palace Dark Guard, they had this confidence; under the punishment of the Eastern Palace Dark Guard, no one could resist telling the truth.
Yet Ye Yiheng said, "What else did Ye Zhenxian say?"
Ruofeng replied, "Nothing else."
Ye Yiheng heard this and sneered coldly, "Ye Zhenxian must be hiding something."
Mo Chen Ruofeng’s hearts stiffened at the words, and both said, "We will investigate further."
"I’ll personally go."
It concerned Linqing Pavilion Master, and as the Pavilion Master’s husband, he personally stepped in on this issue.
Leng Yu Yan grabbed him, "I’m going too."
Ye Yiheng frowned, "How proper is it to go to the place of interrogation?"
Leng Yu Yan replied, "Ye Zhenxian, that pervert, actually had thoughts about finding the Divine Doctor."
It made her sick.
Her words made Ye Yiheng realize why Ye Zhenxian had become a eunuch. Moreover, Ye Zhenxian had dirty thoughts not only towards his Crown Princess Consort but also towards Ye Jiu.
Today might be a good opportunity for Yanyan to vent.
He immediately nodded in agreement.
At this time, Baili Zhengrong shouted, "I want to go too."
"And why would you go?" Ye Yiheng seemed impatient.
Baili Zhengrong replied, "I can help hand over the knife."
"Alright then."
The group set off for the interrogation site outside the Eastern Palace Dark Guard Bureau.
When they arrived, Ye Zhenxian was tied to a pillar, his clothes had already been torn, and blood seeped out from the torn part, as he cursed loudly, "I am a Prince, even if Ye Yiheng ascends the throne today, he cannot simply bind me like this, isn’t he afraid of his reputation?"
"What reputation do I care for?"
Ye Yiheng sneered in response.
He never cared about reputation.
Reputation, to him, was the most ridiculous thing.
The only thing in this world he cared for was the woman standing beside him at this moment.
Ye Zhenxian was cursing with his eyes closed.
Entirely because he had no strength left.
Upon hearing Ye Yiheng’s voice, he suddenly opened his eyes, seeing the visitors, the leading three being Ye Yiheng, Leng Yu Yan, and Baili Zhengrong, the Prince of Nandian.
He laughed out loud, "To have you come personally to see me, how honored I must be. Oh, right, I am the Crown Prince’s second brother, older than him, naturally the Crown Prince should come to see me."
Ye Yiheng, hearing this, showed an expression neither happy nor angry.
He merely glanced at Mo Chen and Ruofeng, as if to say, is this the so-called finished interrogation?
Mo Chen and Ruofeng both stepped forward, delivering gut punches from both sides to Ye Zhenxian.
Ye Zhenxian felt the pain, his mouth finally fell somewhat silent, "I’ve said everything I needed to say. I bound people of the Eastern Palace, and now you have me bound, doesn’t that make us even?"
"Even?" Ye Yiheng’s voice sounded cold, "Think about what you’ve done in recent years."
With that, he gestured with his fingers for the Hidden Guard to bind Ye Zhenxian to the board.
The Hidden Guards understood, unbinding Ye Zhenxian from the post and lifting him onto the board, spreading and fastening his limbs tightly.
Such a binding was much like when a man was about to enter the palace as a eunuch.
As a Prince, he naturally understood.
Ye Zhenxian struggled hard but couldn’t break free, yelling, "What do you intend to do? Castrate me? Hahaha, I’m already a eunuch."
Mo Chen spoke, "Do you still think there’s anyone in the world who doesn’t know you’re a eunuch?"
Ye Zhenxian could not hold face, knowing the fact that he was indeed known by many to be a eunuch.
He quickly said, "Yes, I am a eunuch, and I want, like Song Guo, to become a man again."
"What is wrong with that?"
"Ling Lang is the Divine Doctor, how can the Divine Doctor be confined in the Eastern Palace? Someone like me needing Divine Doctor’s treatment, using some means to invite the Divine Doctor, is understandable, isn’t it?"
"Invite?" Ruofeng sneered, "Prince Xian truly knows how to talk."
Ye Yiheng did not wish to hear Ye Zhenxian’s ramblings and coldly questioned, "Who exactly is that woman?"
Ye Zhenxian recalled nearly dying at that woman’s hand that night, and although today’s situation had him in Ye Yiheng’s grasp, Ye Yiheng was currently in his prime and wouldn’t do anything against his blood brother.
So he dared to gamble.
Betting that he would surely return smoothly to the Prince Mansion.
Only by returning to the Prince Mansion could he continue to cooperate with that woman.
One day, he would imprison them in turn, making them unable to live or die.
Upon this thought, he spoke, "That woman hoped to obtain huge wealth, and knowing the Divine Doctor’s whereabouts, she came to my mansion. She informed me that the Divine Doctor was in the Eastern Palace, as Ling Lang. Upon hearing this news, I sought an opportunity to abduct Ling Lang, hoping he could heal me."
"If you’re seeking his help, why abduct him?" Leng Yu Yan asked.
"The Divine Doctor is difficult to find, and Ling Lang is of the Eastern Palace. If I don’t abduct him, I might as well kneel on the street begging, he might not agree to help, so I resorted to such measures and abducted him." Ye Zhenxian shifted, "I’ve said it all, can you let me go now?"
"You haven’t spoken the truth." Ye Yiheng replied, "Ye Family are inherently suspicious, as are you, as am I. How could a woman’s single statement make you believe the Divine Doctor is in the Eastern Palace?"
Unless that woman promised Ye Zhenxian more.
Ye Zhenxian said, "I was already investigating why Song Guo could become a man again, so when someone came to say, why wouldn’t I believe?"
Ye Yiheng took a dagger from one of the Hidden Guard’s bodies.
With a swoosh.
The dagger slid from its sheath, shining coldly.
Ye Yiheng had no desire to speak any further with Ye Zhenxian. The dagger plunged into Ye Zhenxian’s arm.
The sudden action and the pain made Ye Zhenxian shout, "Ye Yiheng, you’re murdering your elder brother, even as Crown Prince, do you think Father Emperor would shield you?"
Ye Yiheng silently withdrew the dagger and walked to the other side, again plunging the dagger into Ye Zhenxian’s other arm.
The pain made Ye Zhenxian’s entire body tremble, and sweat constantly seeped from his forehead.
"Ye Yiheng, you’ll die a terrible death."
"I’ll live just fine."
With those words, he pulled out the dagger and walked to Ye Zhenxian’s feet, stabbing him in the calves, one on each side.
"Ye Yiheng, you’ve been married to Leng Yu Yan for so long, not letting her bear offspring, proving you always had an ailment, so even if you gain the throne, what then?"
Saying this, Ye Zhenxian burst into laughter.
Ye Yiheng was unfazed, slowly withdrawing the dagger, and spoke without haste, "If you still don’t speak the truth, I will sever your tendons."
Only then did Ye Zhenxian begin to panic.
At this moment, he was wounded in many places, and after some time healing, he’d recover, but if his tendons were severed, he’d truly be a cripple for life.
A cripple who could only lie down.
Ye Yiheng placed the dagger on Ye Zhenxian’s body, slowly wiping the blood off the blade.
"Too bad you’re so ugly, and with physical faults, making you into a human skin lantern would be even uglier."
The cold tone made Ye Zhenxian recall what Ye Gaoyun looked like when made into a human skin lantern.
Hanging high on the porch pillar, swaying in the wind.
At that time, Father Emperor was still diligently guarding against and even wishing to kill Ye Yiheng, yet then Ye Yiheng could still end Ye Gaoyun’s life like that.
Now he believed that if Ye Yiheng truly wanted to deal with him, he most likely had the ability to persuade Father Emperor as well.
