In the past, Song Xiu would never have come to a place like a water prison, but now it's up to him whether he wants to or not.

The water dungeon was dark and damp, filled with the smell of rotting corpses. From time to time, mice crawled past. When he walked in, he saw the corpses dragged out of the water dungeon. Those who are disrespectful to the emperor have only been imprisoned for two or three days, and they already look like this."

Song Xiu laughed and said, "Then I must have died?"

Who dare to answer?Although this Highness is the former prince, he should be sentenced to death according to the law, not to mention that he had a blood feud with the current emperor before, but I don't know what the emperor thinks. Donggong was only imprisoned in the water prison at this time.

Song Xiu walked to the innermost cell, and the jailer bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor ordered...you..."

"You can do as he tells you." Song Xiu glanced at the anklet in front of him.

"Your Highness has been offended." The jailer bent down and locked Song Xiu's ankle with an iron chain. Song Xiu frowned slightly, but kept silent. The instruments of torture in this water prison are different from those in other cells. Although it was a bit thinner, there were sharp iron thorns where it touched the ankle, and with a slight movement, the iron thorns deeply penetrated into Song Xiu's flesh.

Song Xiu paused, as if he didn't know the pain, he walked to the side and sat down. After just a few steps, the ankle was already dripping with blood, and a bloodstain was dragged on the ground.

The dungeon was humid, and it was extremely cold at night. Song Xiu was wearing thin clothes, and it was early winter, and there had been several episodes of snow. He curled up on the ground, trying to keep himself warmer. When he was drowsy, he faintly heard footsteps, which stopped in front of him.

Song Xiu barely opened his eyes, only to see clearly that the person standing in front of him was Shen Chen.

Putting on a dragon robe, he stood in front of Song Xiu with no one with him, looked down at him, and said, "Is this water prison good?"

Song Xiu struggled to sit up, knelt on the ground, and said, "The emperor is safe."

Shen Shen's face changed slightly, he took a step back calmly, tilted his head slightly, and immediately said, "After all, he is also a prince, so don't you want this arrogance? You have completely lost the face of the late emperor."

"The old country is dead, I...a grassroots can only face the reality." He can't call "I" in front of the emperor. As a former prince, he is just a grassroots, even... even worse than a grassroots.

"Your low-spirited and groveling appearance, you really should let yourself see it." Shen Shen narrowed his eyes and said, "Come on! In the future, put a bronze mirror in his cell, and let him look at it every day." Jing kowtowed and saluted, letting him see his groveling appearance."

The jailer immediately said, "Obey."

Shen Shen walked in front of Song Xiu, squatted down, he stretched out his hand to pinch Song Xiu's chin, raised the corners of his lips, and said mockingly, "His Royal Highness, the prince, was humble like a dog at a time? Back then you broke into the general with a knife. Mansion, when the whole mansion was bloodbathed, did you ever think that one day you would fall into my hands?"

The wound on Song Xiu's waist and abdomen didn't heal at all, after such a toss, the wound seemed to be a little cracked, he pressed his waist and abdomen with one hand, and could faintly feel the warmth and moistness of his palm.

"Don't talk? Do you think that if you don't talk, I will let you go? Song Xiu, you will remember me, and I will let you. Life is worse than death." Shen Chen put his hands behind his back and looked at Song Xiu contemptuously , said, "My good brother, His Royal Highness the prince with a gentle temperament, has long since died, and you... are not worthy."

"If the emperor insists on deceiving himself and others like this, the grassroots have nothing to say." Song Xiu smiled, sighed, and said, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. I am already your prisoner. If I want to be killed, I will be cut , just listen to your respect..."

"You!" Shen Shen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger surging in his chest. He almost laughed angrily and pointed at Song Xiudao, "Of course I will not let you go. It is rumored that His Royal Highness has countless followers, why don't you take the Give me the list, maybe I will give you a happy one."

"List? Clique?" Song Xiu smiled, and said, "I have never formed a clique for personal gain, so where are the cliques? You and I have known each other for so many years, have you ever seen me collude with the ministers of the court?"

"The person I knew before had a gentle temperament, and he didn't like to do this, but you... are cruel and merciless, and you said that you have no party members, how could I believe it? If you don't take your hidden stake, how can I be the throne?" Rest easy?" Shen Shen stood up, and before he left with a flick of his sleeves, he only said, "I've already given you a chance, but you didn't want to say it, since that's the case, there's no need for me to waste time with you."

Song Xiu didn't understand Shen Shen's meaning at that time, but after Shen Shen left, a few more people came in, he looked at the leader, and finally understood Shen Shen's meaning, his face changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Presumptuous!"

"Your Highness still said 'presumptuous'? No, you are no longer His Highness, you are just a sinner, you should have died long ago, if it weren't for the emperor's magnanimity, how could you have been kept until today? I advise you to obediently kill all your henchmen. Say it, otherwise... the iron whip in my hand is not a joke." Zhao Ran'an took the iron whip from the jailer, slammed it on the ground, and there was a loud bang, it is not difficult to imagine this thing If you throw it on someone's body, I'm afraid it won't take a few strokes before all the bones and muscles will be broken.

"I've told the truth, but you don't believe me, what can I do?" Song Xiu smiled. He pressed his abdomen tightly with one hand and propped himself on the ground with the other, stood up staggeringly, and said, "The number one cruel official in this dynasty , Zhao Ran'an."

"You still don't plead guilty, Your Highness, let me see if this iron whip is hard, or your bones are hard." Zhao Ran'an's face sank, and he asked the jailers to drag Song Xiu out. The handcuffs were hanging, and there were still iron chains around his ankles, and there were long bloodstains on the ground where he passed.

Zhao Ran'an walked around Song Xiu twice, and then said, "His Royal Highness, let me ask you one last time. If you refuse to tell the truth, my whip does not recognize anyone. This whip will continue..."

"I have no party members..." Song Xiu closed his eyes slightly, his lips turned pale, "Even if you kill me, I have no party members."

"It seems that His Highness's bones are very hard." Seeing this, Zhao Ran'an's face turned completely cold. He took two steps back, grabbed the whip, and said with a smirk, "But in my hands, I have never been unable to interrogate. the prisoner, and you too!"

The iron whip was mixed with the sound of breaking wind, and it slammed into Song Xiu's chest fiercely. The severe pain suddenly hit him. There was even a momentary blank in his mind. It seemed that he could hear the sound of ribs breaking and a mouthful of blood. Spit it out.

The iron whip had a barb, and with just one swipe, the flesh and blood on his chest was already turned out, dripping with blood, his body leaned forward feebly, his face turned pale suddenly, he was so painful that he could hardly speak.

"I reminded Your Highness early in the morning that this whip is not for fun, how about it? Your Highness still refuses to tell who the party members are?" Song Xiu reluctantly opened his eyes, glanced at this person, and sneered weakly. Said, "No, no, I told the truth, but you just don't believe it."

"It seems that this whip still can't make His Highness let go." Zhao Ran'an seemed a little surprised, then smiled immediately, and said, "But that's fine, only someone as hard-boned as His Highness can be worthy of me penalty."

He clapped his hands, and the people at the side brought over a row of torture instruments. Zhao Ran'an glanced from above, chose one of them, and said, "Let's just take this one, I think His Highness will be very similar."

The jailer understood immediately, he paused, and said, "My lord, this instrument of torture will break your finger... this..."

"It's okay, our prince has a backbone and is tough, what are you afraid of? There will be many punishments in the future, and there will always be one that will make him open his mouth and say who his party members are."

The jailer had no choice but to pick up the instrument of torture and put Song Xiu's fingers into it, only to see Zhao Ran'an said, "Your Highness, those who know the current affairs are brilliant, if you refuse to say it, your hands will be lost .”

Seeing that Song Xiu didn't speak, Zhao Ran'an sneered, and the guards on both sides suddenly pulled away the torture device. The torture device was sandwiched between Song Xiu's finger bones, and there was a toothache sound of bones breaking. Song Xiu He roared out in pain uncontrollably, the veins on his neck were bulging, the originally slender finger bones had been broken by the torture tools, and the white bones pierced the flesh, making him look extremely ferocious.

Song Xiu spat out a mouthful of blood, he looked up at Zhao Ran'an, tilted his head, and passed out from the pain.

"Your Highness...Your Highness!" The jailer was startled, and Zhao Ran'an also stood up abruptly. He quickly walked up to Song Xiu, only to see that blood was still spilling from the corner of his lips, and his face was as pale as paper. He tried Song Xiu's breath and found that he was still alive. The big rock in his heart had fallen. He thought for a while and said, "Wake him up...it's fine if he's not dead. If he's dead, he can't explain it. Who is the partisan?"

"If the emperor asks about this..." the jailer said worriedly.

"The order is from the emperor. Do you think the emperor would care about a former prince? If he hadn't estimated the remnants of the previous dynasty, the emperor would have killed this person long ago. After all, this person bloodbathed 53 people in the general's mansion back then. How could the emperor have forgotten this kind of blood feud?" Zhao Ran'an sneered, and said, "It seems that the former crown prince is very hard-boned, so he can only use other tactics."

The jailer had no choice but to pour cold water on Song Xiu to wake him up.

In early winter, when ice water poured over his body, Song Xiu's whole body trembled from the cold. He managed to open his eyes, but he only saw a small porcelain bottle in Zhao Ran'an's hand. Before he could think about it, Zhao Ran'an An forcibly gulped down the medicine, and there was a sudden severe pain in his body, as if his internal organs were being burned by fire, the pain was heart-piercing.

Even though his temperament was as tough as his, the pain of bone crushing could not make him succumb, but this time... he finally couldn't bear it anymore, screamed out in pain, vomited a mouthful of blood forcefully, and his whole body trembled.
