Chapter 418 Searching for Eunuch Li’s Whereabouts

After listening to Feng Wuhen's words, Master Xie felt that they made sense, so he did as he suggested.

In the following days, Xie Hefan secretly inquired about the news of Princess Zhenyou. At the same time, Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo also stepped up their efforts to find the whereabouts of Eunuch Li.

After some efforts, Xie Wang and Jiang Yimo finally got some clues...

Leng Mei reported: "Your Majesty, Princess, a maid in the laundry room saw Eunuch Li being dragged by a group of men in black into the road towards the cold palace one night some time ago."

Feng Wuhen frowned after hearing this, "Have you checked the cold palace?"

Leng Mei nodded and said somewhat disappointedly: "Your Highness, I took people there, but found nothing."

Feng Wuhen pondered for a moment and asked again: "Is it possible that it is hidden in a nearby palace?"

Leng Mei shook her head: "I have sent people to search everywhere, but no trace has been found."

Feng Wuhen sighed and said, "It seems that we can only start from other aspects. By the way, what else did that little palace maid say?"

Leng Mei thought for a moment and replied, "She said that the group of men in black looked very mysterious and moved quickly. She didn't dare to get close to them. She just watched from a distance as they dragged Eunuch Li away."

Feng Wuhen frowned and muttered to himself: "The man in black... could it be King Kang's men? Or some other force?"

At this time, Jiang Yimo said, "Eunuch Li disappeared on the night when the emperor was poisoned. Is it possible that he..."

Before she finished speaking, Feng Wuhen nodded, "It's possible, but we can't rule out other possibilities. No matter what, we still have to find Eunuch Li as soon as possible."

Jiang Yimo looked up at Feng Wuhen, whose eyes were deep, and suggested, "Your Highness, if it doesn't work, we can go to the Heavenly Prison to ask Concubine Rou and Prince Kang. Because too many things happened in the palace before, they didn't take the disappearance of Eunuch Li to heart. Tomorrow, both mother and son will be given poisoned wine."

Feng Wuhen looked at her, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "Well, I think so too."

Jiang Yimo was delighted. She didn't expect that she and he had the same idea. "Then let's go now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Wuhen agreed to her proposal: "Okay, let's go now."

The two of them came to the Sky Prison together. When the jailers saw Feng Wuhen, they all knelt down and saluted.

Feng Wuhen waved his hand, signaling them to stand up, and then took Jiang Yimo into the cell where Concubine Rou and Prince Kang were imprisoned.

When Concubine Rou and Prince Kang saw Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo coming in, a look of horror appeared on their faces.

In just one or two days, Concubine Rou seemed to have aged by ten years.

The gorgeous palace dress she was wearing had long been stripped off, leaving only a thin white shirt underneath, which made her face look even more haggard and dull.

The pearl hairpin on her head was nowhere to be found. Her originally smooth and neatly combed black hair had now become messy, with even a few strands of white hair mixed in. It had completely lost its former splendor and elegance.

The same is true for King Kang. He no longer looks as bright and handsome as before, but there is still a gleam of unwillingness in his eyes, as if he is plotting some conspiracy in his mind.

Fortunately, the old emperor was thoughtful and ordered his men to feed the mother and son an extremely strong muscle-softening powder before throwing them into prison.

This drug made them weak all over and unable to perform any martial arts. They could only stay in the cell and wait for the judgment of fate.

Concubine Rou asked in a trembling voice: "What are you doing here?"

Feng Wuhen looked at her coldly without saying anything.

Jiang Yimo stepped forward and said, "Empress Roufei, we came here this time because we have a few questions to ask you."

Concubine Rou looked at her warily, "What's the problem?"

Jiang Yimo glanced at Prince Kang, then turned to Concubine Rou and said, "Excuse me, Concubine Rou, do you know the whereabouts of Eunuch Li?"

When Concubine Rou heard the name of Eunuch Li, her face turned very ugly, "I don't know, you have the wrong person."

Jiang Yimo smiled and continued to ask, "Empress Roufei, Eunuch Li disappeared on the night you poisoned the emperor. How could you not know?"

Concubine Rou gritted her teeth and glared at Jiang Yimo fiercely, "I just don't know, don't force me!"

Jiang Yimo shrugged, turned around and said to Feng Wuhen, "It seems that Concubine Rou is not willing to cooperate."

Feng Wuhen frowned, then looked at King Kang, "Second brother, do you know the whereabouts of Eunuch Li?"

King Kang sneered, "I don't know, don't ask me."

A hint of coldness flashed across Feng Wuhen's eyes, "If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked the guards behind him to take Concubine Rou and Prince Kang out of the cell.

Jiang Yimo looked at Feng Wuhen in confusion, "My Lord, what are you going to do?"

Feng Wuhen said calmly: "Take them out, maybe we can get some useful information from them."

Jiang Yimo nodded and said no more.

Concubine Rou and Prince Kang were immediately dragged to the torture chamber of the prison by the jailer, and then thrown roughly to the ground.

Then, the jailers tied the two men tightly to the wooden rack in the torture room with heavy iron chains, making them unable to move.

In the center of the prison hall, there was an iron boiler burning blazingly, red as oil. The flames licked the bottom of the pot, making crackling sounds.

Above the boiler, there were several red-hot torture instruments, emitting heart-pounding heat and pungent smell.

These torture instruments seem to be waiting to be used, giving people a creepy feeling.

"Evil King, do you want to torture us mother and son?"

Concubine Rou forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart, but her eyes still flashed with fear and helplessness.

"Yes, if you don't tell me where Eunuch Li is, I will use some cruel methods to make you speak up."

Feng Wuhen's voice came out coldly, without a trace of warmth, making people feel creepy.

Her eyes revealed determination and resolve, as if she would not give up until she achieved her goal.

Concubine Rou's face was pale and her body was trembling slightly. She knew that the man in front of her would do what he said, but she couldn't compromise so easily.

"Evil King, although I have become a prisoner, I am still the emperor's concubine. Even if I am now divorced, I will not allow you to bully me like this. Now you are privately executing my mother and me here. If the emperor knows about it, he will definitely..."

Her voice was filled with fear and trembling, and her eyes were full of despair and helplessness.

Feng Wuhen sneered: "You, a dying man, don't need to worry about this."

"you……"

Concubine Rou was immediately speechless due to Feng Wuhen's anger.
