Chapter 283 If you insist on seeking death, then go ahead and die!
Inside a shabby tent, a large black iron cage was used to hold prisoners or soldiers who had violated military law. Perhaps because someone had just lived there, the environment was dirty and smelly, with smelly excrement everywhere.
Zhu Zifeng huddled against the edge of the fence, vomiting non-stop. She had never lived in such a disgusting and filthy place, let alone been there.
Now, she has suddenly become a prisoner and is experiencing a time that she will never forget in her life.
When Shu He and others came in, Zhu Zifeng had already vomited until his face turned pale. The place that was already full of stench now had a sour smell that hit people's brains and made their stomachs churn.
Zhang Zhirou turned around and went out to vomit after coming in. Nan Qi also wanted to vomit, but he held it back. The others just frowned and watched the scene inside.
Shu He's expression was cold, as if she didn't notice anything. In her eyes, there was only Zhu Zifeng with a sly smile on his face. She had smiled like that when she was captured, and now she was smiling the same way when she saw him.
It seems that her guess was right.
"You're here, but you're so slow. You kept me waiting for so long!" Every minute and every second here made her feel like a year!
Shu He stepped forward and picked up Zhu Zifeng who was standing by the railing. "Where is my child?!"
Shu He was filled with coldness and murderous aura that almost turned water into ice, piercing people's hearts.
Feeling the severe pain in his throat again, Zhu Zifeng was no longer as panicked as he was the first time.
She looked straight at her, perhaps thinking she had a trump card in her hand, so there was no fear in her eyes anymore, but instead they were filled with pride and insolence.
She used a lot of strength to squeeze out a very hoarse and unpleasant voice from her throat, "I want to talk to you alone."
Shu He looked at her. For Yi'er, she could only temporarily put aside the murderous intent in her heart.
When she fell to the ground, looking utterly miserable, Shu He turned to look at Baili Moqing and the others, "You guys get out."
If it was before tonight, Baili Moqing might have been obedient; but now, he already knew her identity, and was suppressing the surging anger in his heart. How could he listen to her now?
Seeing the two men's eyes confronting each other and clearly about to explode, Xizhu and Nanqi made up their minds and quickly pushed Baili Moqing out.
Nanqi: "Your Highness, for Yi'er's sake, please step aside for a while!"
"Do you two want to die?"
The gloom on Baili Moqing's face suddenly broke open. He stared at the two men, and the murderous intent almost turned into a ferocious beast biting outside his body!
After everyone else left, Bei Ji looked at Shu He with a deep and complicated look, then lowered his eyes and turned away.
"Your methods are truly brilliant. In just a few days, you've subdued almost all four generals, even going so far as to defy King Dongli's orders! I'm truly impressed!"
At this time, only Zhu Zifeng and Shu He were left in the tent. Shu He didn't want to waste time talking, "Where is the child?"
"If I say the child is not in my hands, would you believe me?"
"You fool me?"
A strong murderous intent burst out from Shu He's slightly narrowed eyes, causing Zhu Zifeng to step back involuntarily.
This woman is a lunatic! If no one intervenes, she might actually break her neck.
"But I know who has her!"
Shu He stood on the other side of the iron railing and asked calmly, "What are your conditions?"
Hearing this, a triumphant smile flashed across Zhu Zifeng's eyes.
She moved closer to her, held her head high, and said proudly, "I am the daughter of Grand Tutor Zhu Heng. I must not return to the capital as a prisoner."
"If I say this, you should understand what I mean, right?"
"I don't understand!" Shu He responded coldly.
In fact, she had already guessed her thoughts, but she just wanted to see how shameless Zhu Zifeng could be!
"I don't care whether you really don't understand or are pretending not to understand. Let me be frank. I have only one request."
"Go back to the peace talks now and admit that the child is only two and a half years old. Everything you said before was a lie in order to make the child a princess!"
Shu He stood there and couldn't help but sneered, "Do you think this is realistic?"
"The child's identity is already a foregone conclusion. If I go over and say the child isn't Baili Moqing's now, will he believe me if I keep changing my mind? Can't they guess I'm saying this because the child is missing? How can you clear yourself of suspicion?"
"I don't care!" Zhu Zifeng slammed the iron bars frantically, his eyes filled with anger and madness. "Anyway, I can't return to Beijing as a prisoner! Absolutely not!"
"I don't care what method you use, you must clear me of suspicion! And, all my previous accusations must become reality!"
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee that your poor child is in the hands of human traffickers or is left to fend for herself in a dilapidated house or temple!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shu He suddenly grabbed her collar and slammed her against the railing.
Zhu Zifeng screamed in pain. When she opened her mouth, Shu He threw a pill into her mouth and then touched her throat.
"Cough cough cough...Shu He! What did you give me to eat?!"
Zhu Zifeng, who was threatening Shu He in the previous second, covered his throat with his hands and looked terrified in the next second.
"It's nothing, just a poison that will make you experience the extreme pain of the human body for thirty days, and then your whole body will rot and die."
"What? You dare to poison me?" Zhu Zifeng was both frightened and furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "My father is the Grand Tutor. If you dare to poison me, my father will not let you go!"
"I forgot to tell you that soon, you will be unable to speak, and in three days, your hands will also become uncontrollable. By then, no one will be able to understand what you want to say."
Zhu Zifeng's face was filled with fear, "You, you..."
"You should have seen my poisoning methods." Shu He raised an extremely evil smile on his face. "Didn't you also use the poisonous blood of the poisoned people to infect countless people with the same poison? The three-day collapse, even the imperial physician Zhang Qiong has never seen it, is enough to show its power?"
"However, what you just ate is thirty times more powerful than the toxin of the three-day rash!"
"I heard that Yang You likes to torture people, and once used the punishment of 'Lingchi'. This is what I prepared specifically for Yang You. However, seeing that Miss Zhu is so energetic, I would like to ask you to try the medicine. You should not refuse, right?"
"Don't worry, this poison won't kill you immediately. You still have thirty days to live. However, starting from the second day after being poisoned, you will have hallucinations, as if you are on the execution ground, seeing someone stripping you bare with each cut..."
Zhu Zifeng was filled with fear and suspicion. "You are lying to me! Don't forget, your child is still missing. You dare to poison me now? Don't you want to know where the child is..."
"Nangong Xiyun, right?" Shu He interrupted her, shattering the last trace of disbelief in her heart.
She looked at her in disbelief, "You, how could you..."
"How would I know?" Shu He sneered, "You're right, I really don't have time to waste here with you."
"Zhu Zifeng, you asked for this!"
"If you had followed Prince Xiaoyang back to the capital in an orderly manner, perhaps you could have saved your life, but you chose not to. You insisted on causing trouble and courting death!"
"If that's the case, then go die!"
