C2770 Wu Yan's Confession

"Just a little trick." Huang Feng said calmly, "Although Master Wu is not Minister of the Ministry of Justice, I believe that he should know about it. In the prison, in order to make the prisoners confess, they would usually use some tricks. And among these methods, there are methods to make life worse than death. And what I'm doing to you right now is that sort of little method... Those methods that can make you wish you were dead."1

Although Huang Feng's words sounded light and light, when his words fell into Wu Yan's ears, it made him feel a chill run down his spine.

Of course, Wu Yan knew that there were indeed some torture methods in the Great Lu Dynasty prison that would make one wish they were dead. He wouldn't doubt that Huang Feng had used such a similar torture method on him just now. Although he didn't know how Huang Feng did it... However... He did have a feeling that he would rather die than live. It came from the bottom of his heart. The uncontrollable itch made him feel like he was going crazy.

He looked at Wu Yan rolling around on the ground, scratching the wounds on his body. Princess Qi and Xiao Huan were also a little shocked. However... They did not pity Wu Yan. After all, although they were not sure, the death of the late Emperor was related to Wu Yan. However, they had been ambushed along the way. All of this had something to do with Wu Yan. Therefore, Wu Yan's current condition... It could be said that he deserved it.

"How is it? Minister Wu, Master Wu, are you going to say it or not?" Huang Feng looked at Wu Yan with a calm expression and asked.

Huang Feng had seen many cruel and miserable scenes. Naturally, he wouldn't feel any pity for Wu Yan because of his current condition. At this moment, his heart was very calm.

"I will speak, I will speak. I beg you to stop. Please don't torture me anymore." Wu Yan rolled on the ground as he begged for mercy from Huang Feng.

As Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wu Yan had always lived a comfortable life. When had he ever been tortured like this? Therefore, he could not hold on for a short period of time. He didn't want to experience the feeling of living a life worse than death for even a second. He really couldn't stand that kind of feeling.

"If I had known so long ago, wouldn't I have never had to suffer like this?" Huang Feng walked to Wu Yan's side and lightly patted him a few times. Wu Yan instantly felt that he would rather die than live. It disappeared in an instant.

Wu Yan laid on the ground without any image. He kept breathing heavily, and even had a feeling that he had just survived a disaster. The feeling of living a life worse than death just now, just thinking about it gave him a lingering fear.

"Speak." Huang Feng said to Wu Yan, "I just temporarily relieved that feeling of yours. It hasn't been completely removed. If you don't cooperate with me, you will soon experience that feeling."

When he heard Huang Feng's words, Wu Yan subconsciously shivered. He really didn't want to experience that feeling again. That feeling would break him down if he wanted to.

"I'll talk, I'll talk." Wu Yan hastily said. He was already so old, but he had never suffered such a thing before. The line of defense in his heart would easily collapse.

"How did I, Royal Brother, die?" Princess Qi asked.

Princess Qi had never believed that her Royal Brother died of illness. She had always suspected that someone had plotted against him in secret.

Wu Yan was just about to say that the late Emperor died of illness, but when he saw Huang Feng's hostile gaze, he hurriedly changed his words and said, "It was Imperial Concubine Wu who poisoned him and killed him."

"Noble Consort Wu? Your daughter?" Princess Qi previously suspected that Royal Brother's death was related to Wu Yan. She did not expect Wu Yan to say that and this matter actually involved Noble Consort Wu.

In Princess Qi's impression, Noble Consort Wu only wanted to be the Empress. She wanted her son to be the Crown Prince. She wanted to be the Empress in the future. A person's words weren't very bold, but he had never thought that... She was actually related to Royal Brother's death.

"Why did Imperial Concubine Wu do that? When I, Royal Brother, was still alive, the Imperial Concubine I loved the most was her. She was the most favoured one in the harem. There was no reason for her to poison me, Royal Brother. Are you lying?" Princess Qi questioned.

Although Princess Qi did not like Consort Wu, while she was still in the Imperial Palace, the two of them also had quite a few conflicts, but she also knew that... That Imperial Concubine Wu was very good at pleasing men. She, Royal Brother, was fascinated by her. Although she was also very doted on by Royal Brother, but... That Imperial Concubine Wu couldn't do anything about it.

And because Imperial Concubine Wu had the favor of the late emperor, she was in the harem. Her status was very high. As long as she wasn't stupid, she should understand. The reason why she had such a position was entirely because of the late emperor's favoured letter. Under such circumstances, how could she possibly plot against the late emperor? Wouldn't that make her lose her backer? Furthermore, there was no conflict between her and the Deceased Emperor. There was no reason for her to make a move.

Therefore, Princess Qi didn't really believe Wu Yan's words. Instead, she felt that he was lying.

"That matter was indeed done by Imperial Concubine Wu, even though she is my daughter. However, in this case, I don't want to cover up for her. Actually, I have always felt guilty about this matter. I owe the Deceased Emperor a great debt of gratitude, but I don't even dare to tell others the true cause of his death. I have let down the late emperor. " Wu Yan said with a guilty and sorrowful expression on his face. Those who didn't know would think that he was sorry for the death of the late emperor. How sad was that?

"Why did Noble Consort Wu do that?" Princess Qi asked again. She really wanted to know what Imperial Concubine Wu's motive for doing so was.

"This has something to do with me too." Wu Yan said, "Because I suppressed the rebel army at the front line, it caused my position in the late Emperor's heart to drop. As my daughter, Consort Wu was naturally affected. The former emperor became somewhat distant from her and turned to favor the other concubines. This made Consort Wu unable to accept it in her heart. She was afraid that she would lose her favor. She was also afraid that her son could not become the Crown Prince. So... Hiding and taking the risk, choosing to poison the late emperor to protect his position in the harem... However, if she begged me to support her son in becoming the emperor, because without the late emperor's existence, before the late emperor died... She did not appoint any other princes as the crown prince, and with my support... Therefore, Noble Consort Wu's son, the Eleventh Prince, successfully ascended the throne and became the emperor. "

Wu Yan explained the matter as if it was the truth.

Of course, the truth of the matter was definitely not like this. However... At such a critical moment, Wu Yan chose to sacrifice his daughter. In order to protect himself, he had more than one child. Furthermore, Noble Consort Wu no longer had any value to her. Sacrificing was also a sacrifice. Wu Yan did not have many feelings of reluctance in his heart. To him, he was the most important one. For his own safety, he could sacrifice anyone.
