Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

"Hidden poison?" Rong Mingxuan's face became even gloomier. "The assassin would hide poison in his teeth. It seems that the people in the inn have a complicated background."

"Sir, what should I do next?"

"I'll interrogate him." Rong Mingxuan skillfully took the poison out of the man's mouth. He had seen many lurkers in the military camp and had mastered a set of interrogation techniques. No one had ever escaped from his hands.

With a crisp sound, he fixed the man's jaw. The man's expression was distorted in pain, and his saliva flowed out uncontrollably.

Rong Mingxuan said seriously: "If you don't want to suffer, answer my questions honestly."

The man looked at Rong Mingxuan with contempt and sneered in response: "No matter how you force me, I won't say a word!"

"It's not too late to be stubborn now. I hope you will still be so confident later." Rong Mingxuan had a blank expression on his face. He had seen too many stubborn people like this, but once the torture began, almost no one could hold on to the end.

"Untie him," he ordered.

"Sir, this is not appropriate!" The guards looked very worried.

"Untie them!" Rong Mingxuan's voice was as cold as ice, and his eyes were filled with unquestionable determination. These people not only imprisoned Yue'er, but also almost hurt her. Their crimes were unforgivable. He would make them suffer.

The guards followed orders and cut the ropes that bound the man. A glimmer of hope flashed in the man's eyes, and he was about to fight back, but Rong Mingxuan appeared like a shadow, quickly restrained him, and broke his wrist.

A scream sounded, but this was just the beginning. Rong Mingxuan gently cut the man's wrist with a thin knife and sprinkled some kind of red powder on it. The severe pain instantly spread throughout the body. The man felt as if something was gnawing at his wrist, and the pain was unbearable.

"This is bone-eroding powder. It will cause your bones and blood to gradually rot until they turn into a pool of blood." Rong Mingxuan explained in a cold and ruthless tone.

Even well-trained soldiers would find it difficult to endure such torture.

The man rolled on the ground, the pain driving him crazy. "Please... just kill me!" he wailed.

"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this inn? If you tell me the truth, I can give you a quick death."

"You are just a scapegoat. You will die anyway, so you might as well die quickly. The pain of the bone-eroding powder will last for three hours..."

Rong Mingxuan's words seemed to come from the depths of hell.

The man twitched constantly, his face twisted in agony. He had never experienced such pain before.

Three hours...

I couldn't even last a quarter of an hour.

Fear replaced his original determination: "Kill me... please kill me..."

"Tell me! Who is the person behind the inn?" Rong Mingxuan asked again.

The man could no longer bear it and shouted: "I said! Yes..."

However, before he could finish his words, a cold light suddenly shot down from the roof. Rong Mingxuan reacted quickly and tried to block the attack, but he was still a step too late - an arrow flew through the air and pierced the man's throat.

When the man fell, his eyes were wide open, and a painful expression froze on his face. Blood slowly flowed out from under him, staining the ground red. Seeing this, Rong Mingxuan's face suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly: "Catch that assassin!"

The guards immediately used their Qinggong skills to leap onto the rooftop and chased after the assassin. Rong Mingxuan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. He approached the dead man and gently felt for his pulse—there was no sign of life. The assassin's archery skills were amazing, and he shot the life of his companion with one arrow, obviously to silence him.

Rong Mingxuan's face became even more gloomy, and he remained silent, emitting a chilling aura. Not long after, the guards returned empty-handed. They lowered their heads and reported guiltily, "Sir, the assassin has escaped."

"How daring!" Rong Mingxuan was upset that he had failed to stop the night attack. He said firmly: "We must bring them to justice!"

Rong Mingxuan squatted down and carefully checked the clothes of the deceased, hoping to find clues. However, apart from clean clothes, he found nothing. Despite this, he still searched again without giving up, but still found nothing.

The guards looked embarrassed and reminded that they had searched and the man did not have any items on him. Just as Rong Mingxuan paused, his eyes fell on his palm, and he seemed to find something unusual. He touched the dead man's hair, and then looked at his palm again. "This..." He thought.

The guards gathered around curiously. Rong Mingxuan put his hand close to his nose, sniffed it gently, and then said, "This is the powder used to change hair color. Go get some water!"

Soon, the guards brought water. Rong Mingxuan added drugs to dissolve the disguise materials and ordered, "Wash his hair."

As the water poured down, the black color gradually faded, revealing a dark red background. The guards were amazed, because it turned out that the man's real hair color had been covered up.

"Foreigner." Rong Mingxuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the dark red hair, realizing that this person was not from his own country, but from a neighboring country. This discovery made him feel that the situation was even more serious - the Fourth Prince was actually colluding with a foreign country, which was a serious crime...

"Search the entire city immediately! Pay special attention to those with different hair and eye colors!" Rong Mingxuan ordered.

Although he also wanted to participate in the search personally, he could not leave because he had to protect Baili Yue's safety.

Rong Mingxuan walked towards where Baili Yue was and saw her curled up in the corner, her face as pale as snow. It was obvious that the horrific experience of the past two days had made her dare not close her eyes, let alone fall asleep.

When she closed her eyes, those memories came flooding back like a tide, especially the resolute look in Brother Ye Hua's eyes, which easily pushed her away from the familiar world.

Rong Mingxuan looked at Baili Yue, his heart full of entanglement. He knew very well that he couldn't just send her back to the palace casually. If the news leaked out and Baili Yue left the palace secretly, her reputation would be damaged. He had to find a safe way to let her return to the palace quietly.

Night fell and they had no choice but to spend the night in this strange place.

"Knock knock", there was a knock on the door.

"The general has ordered, please go there immediately." The voice outside the door urged.

Rong Mingxuan frowned. Why did he summon him at this critical moment? But military orders were hard to disobey, so he had no choice but to order the guards to guard the place while he went to report.

Baili Yue heard the noise, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she stared at Rong Mingxuan closely. "Princess, don't worry, there are guards here, you will be safe." Despite this, Baili Yue still couldn't suppress the fear in her heart, and her body trembled slightly. The person she trusted most now was Rong Mingxuan. If he left, she felt like she had lost her support.

"Don't go..." she begged softly.

Rong Mingxuan was in a dilemma: on one hand, there was the military order that could not be violated, and on the other hand, he couldn't bear to leave Baili Yue behind. Considering that she had just experienced a huge shock, leaving her alone might cause her a greater psychological burden.
