"Several times I even wanted to bite my tongue and commit suicide, fortunately I was discovered in time, now my hands and feet are tied up, and something is stuffed in my mouth,"

"The crown prince's meaning is, to just kill him like this would be too cheap. No matter what method is used, we must get a confession out of him."

“This matter is now left to Wan Qingchun.” Luo Fengtang added.

Yang Ruqing curled her lips, "These fanatics are all brainwashed. Life and death mean nothing to them, let alone the pain of physical punishment."

>

Even, they would feel that all of these punishments are the tests sent down by the deities they believe in.

"As long as you grit your teeth and pass the test, you can be reborn and soar through the clouds. So those instruments of torture are basically useless!"

Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's analysis, Luofeng Tang secretly nodded in agreement.

It's just...

The interrogation was handed over to Wan Qingchun. The prince gave him two days, and if there were no results after two days, Wan Qingchun estimated he would be punished. He added.

Yang Ruqing smiled: "Don't worry about that boy, you know he used to be the number one playboy in the capital city,"

Besides being proficient in gambling, drinking, and whoring, this kind of rectification will certainly have many tricks up its sleeve when it comes to dealing with people.

“Perhaps we could get to the bottom of this within a day, haha!” she said.

Luo Fengtang said: “That’s right, I worried too much.”

Whenever she thought of something, Yang Ruoqing turned to ask him again: "By the way, since people have gained everything, what's the explanation for Princess Jiu?"

"The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and Zhang Ge Lao, they should also have Princess Jiu come out and give an explanation, right?" she asked again.

When asked about Princess Nine Qi Aoshan, Luo Fengtang's face turned strange.

Yang Ruqing quickly changed her words and said, "What's wrong? Is this confidential and can't be said? Then I won't ask. Don't make things difficult for me..."

"It's not a secret, it's just that I'm a little embarrassed to bring it up," he said. "I feel flustered just thinking about saying it!"

"Ah? How could this be? Could it be, that the Ninth Princess is... " She didn't finish her sentence, but instead tapped her thumbs together lightly a few times.

This means "to have an affair".

Luo Fengtang understands.

Indeed, he nodded.

“My God!” Yang Ruqing exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise. “How could this Ninth Princess be like this? I’ve been busy with other things these past few weeks and haven’t gone to visit her for over a month, and she hasn’t invited me either.”

"I never expected that during this time, she would have found a new love, and the other person is from the Black Lotus Sect?" she asked.

Luo Fengtang said, "Judging from the Ninth Princess's reaction, she probably didn't know the other person's true identity before they were captured. Now that the person's identity has been revealed, the Ninth Princess couldn't take the blow and fell ill." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"The Second Prince meant to summon her into the palace even if she was sick, to give her a proper explanation. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, considering the sibling bond and pitying the Ninth Princess for being widowed at such a young age, had finally opened his heart to accept another person, only to be deceived and used."

“This must be a double blow, that's why she fell ill. The Crown Prince means to temporarily refrain from interrogating the Ninth Princess and let her recuperate first.”

However, when I was leaving the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to me and asked me to ask you something...

"Does Qixingyun want me to go to Princess Jiu's place to visit her, comfort her, and casually inquire about the situation?" Yang Ruohua asked first.

Luo Fengtang's eyes were full of admiration, and he said, "My Qinger is truly intelligent and insightful. I haven't even said anything, and you've already guessed it."

“Hmph!” Yang Ruqing waved her hand dismissively.

“As soon as you mentioned Qixingyun asked me for a favor, I knew it was this.” she said.

"So, why did he have to send for me? He's already got a crown princess and two concubines. Couldn't he just send one of his sisters-in-law to offer condolences?" she added.

Luo Fengtang said, “Of course it’s my family Qing'er who can do more work. The Ninth Princess is your fan, everyone knows that.”

"And after you returned to the capital, you spent more time with Princess Nine. The Crown Prince sent you, naturally taking these things into consideration."

Yang Ruqing pouted, "Well, even Princess Jiu lent me her vineyard to make wine. In terms of both feelings and reason, publicly and privately, I should visit her after this kind of thing happened."

"And, I personally also want to know, how was the princess of Da Qi, a pearl of great price, beguiled by the biggest parasite of Da Qi, a black lotus cult follower!"

The Ninth Princess's Manor.

After half a month, when Yang Ruqing saw Princess Jiu again, she suddenly felt that the princess's whole spirit seemed to have returned to the state she was in when she first returned to the capital.

Her eyes were devoid of life, as if she had grown weary of existence itself. There was nothing in this world that held her interest anymore.

>

But a half month ago, she came to see the Ninth Princess, and the Ninth Princess wasn't like this.

She was cheerful and often went to a Taoist temple outside the city to make wishes, light incense, her eyes became brighter, and her complexion more rosy.

"At a time like this, what brings you here? Right now, everyone in the capital is watching my joke. Are you here to watch my joke too?"

Qi Aoshan leaned against the bed, her gaze sweeping towards Yang Ruoheng's side, but her eyes were very scattered.

When speaking, the corner of her lips twitched with a self-deprecating smile.

Yang Ruqing shook her head. "If it were any other time you said this to me, I'd turn around and leave, not even bothering to glance at you."

But since you're saying this now, I won't hold it against you. In your situation, I'm afraid anyone would find it hard to cope.

Qi Aoshan glanced at Yang Ruohua, then curled her lips and lowered her eyelids.

“There are no outsiders here, you can cry if you want to, don't hold it in, it will hurt you.” Yang Ruohua added.

Qi Aoshan raised her hand to cover her face, sobbing. At first, she only whimpered softly, but later, she cried out loud.

She finally burst into tears, burying her head under the covers and clutching the satin sheets tightly in her hands.

Yang Ruqing let out a soft sigh and walked to the bed, gently patting Qi Aoshan's back.

“When you’ve cried enough, wipe your tears. In this world, no one lives a life without storms. Nine out of ten things in life won’t go as planned.” Yang Ruqing said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

“Compared to your fledgling love, I had my son stolen when he was just a few months old. He didn't return for seven years.”

"Your little troubles are nothing compared to mine! Oh well!"

Perhaps happiness is a matter of comparison, and the only way to soothe hurt is to hear others say they've had it worse than you.

Perhaps only in this way can you draw a little strength from the experiences of others who are suffering even more than you.

"Luo Fu, I feel better now," after crying for a while, Qi Aoshan choked back her tears and lifted her head.

"Previously, I didn't mean to be like that. I was feeling suffocated inside and ashamed to face you, so I ended up speaking harshly and making sarcastic remarks. I'm sorry..."

“You can come see me, actually I’m really grateful. At this time, everyone is avoiding me, and only you would come see me...”
