Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good

Chapter 65.2: Imminent Peril

“Don’t be too sad, my people are interrogating those two men. You don’t need to bother with that matter. I will help you investigate into the matter.” After he finished speaking, Nalan Ye instructed people to send over some food. It was still steaming. It was clear that he asked people to cook this very recently.

“Eat something first. Don’t let yourself go hungry.” He softened his voice and appeared to be a bit gentle.

Luo Qing Luan sat in front of the table facing the window. From the moment she returned until now, she basically had not said a single superfluous word. For someone who used to display a gorgeous smile and was clever and eloquent, this her was completely different. She seemed to have changed into someone else. There wasn’t the slightest trace of a smile on her face. Instead a chilly coldness seemed to be emitted.

He didn’t know why, but seeing her like this, Nalan Ye felt greatly distressed.

This girl had always been lively and active. Even when he first saw her by the side of the pond, that pair of eyes were brimming quick-wit. Yet now......she was filled with sadness, deep hurt, grievance......he had never seen her like this before. She was similar to a kitten that was wounded. Radiating an aura of keeping people a thousand miles away, with no one capable of approaching.

He’s afraid she was already hungry, but just wasn’t eating. Nalan Ye sighed lightly as he pushed the bowl of food and chopsticks in front of Luo Qing Luan. He even picked up some vegetables and placed them into her bowl while telling her softly, “I know that you don’t feel very good, but dead people can not be revived. You need to be stronger. Listen to me and first eat something, alright?”

Four or five different dishes were arranged on the table. With one look, it was clear that they were prepared with utmost care, but Luo Qing Luan didn’t have any appetite at all.

As if the scene if her wet nurse being killed appeared before her again, and blood gushed from her body. She didn’t care about anything else and only wrapped herself around that masked man’s thigh, while telling her to run away quickly.

Other than Dai Yue, her wet nurse was the only other person who treated her the best. From now on, she would no longer be able to see her.

If it wasn’t for her wet nurse helping her to investigate this matter, nothing would’ve happened to her. Luo Qing Luan clenched her fists tightly. No matter who the enemy was, she must take revenge!

“What are you thinking?” Seeing Luo Qing Luan remain quiet for half the day, Nalan Ye became more and more unsettled.

He discovered that he had already started to care about this girl. This kind of feeling was very special.

When he heard that she and her servant left the city today, he immediately sent someone to follow them. But afterwards, his heart became more and more restless. He kept feeling that something was going to happen, to the extent that he felt ill at ease and fidgety. Therefore, he set aside all matters and hastily rushed outside of the city.

Fortunately......

If it wasn’t for his resolve, quite possibly, he really wouldn’t be able to see this girl anymore.

With a burst of both gladness and lingering fear, even though Luo Qing Luan was already safe and sound before his eyes, Nalan Ye was still as worried as before. Even though she wasn’t injured, watching this appearance of hers, he’s afraid that she had already been terrified. No matter how she ordinarily made trouble, in the end, she was just a girl. Once she encountered this kind of situation where her life was in danger, she would still be afraid in the end.

Worried that she was starving, and also worried that she was traumatized, Nalan Ye straightforwardly took the bowl and prepared to feed her.

“Your Highness!” Just at this moment, his subordinate pushed the door open and came in and spoke with hands cupped. “Those two people won’t confess no matter what. They’re very tight lipped. Should we......”

He did not finish, but Nalan Ye understood that his subordinate came to ask for his instructions. Should they apply brutal torture, putting those special methods to use. After thinking about it, he was about to reply when Luo Qing Luan, who had been taciturn all along, stood up. “Take me to see them.”

“This......” The subordinate didn’t know how to answer and looked at Nalan Ye awkwardly.

“What are you looking to see there. Those places are not places a girl should......”

“I said, I want to go!”

Luo Qing Luan spoke coldly. Her tone of voice brooked no argument. “Nalan Ye, your people are unable to get an answer. I want to personally ask them.”

Observing her cool yet resolute appearance, Nalan Ye then discovered that he had been wrong. She wasn’t scared at all, nor was she indecisive. There was only an unwavering, also a ruthless determination with flashed by.

He suddenly became curious. A girl like her, was it possible that she had some other way of questioning these two people via torture?

Not refusing her anymore, Nalan Ye got up while Luo Qing Luan silently followed behind him. In order to reach the prisoner’s dungeon at the center of the prince’s mansion, they walked through a passageway lined with torches and finally arrived at the torture chamber.

Hanging on the walls were all kinds of instruments used for torture full of bloodstains which already turned dark brown. The air was densely permeated with a fishy and moldy stench. In the middle of the room, there was a burner with a raging fire inside. In the midst of the fire, a soldering iron was already glowing bright red.

If an average person were here, don’t mention if they were female, even if they were an adult man seeing these things, they would very likely feel uneasy all over. Those who were timid might even tremble, but Luo Qing Luan seemed as if she simply didn’t see these instruments. Once she came in, she only fixed her gaze at the two people dressed in dark clothes tied to the pillars, already unmasked.

Their appearances looked very ordinary, the type where nobody would pay attention to, if they were tossed within a crowd. It’s just that the expression in their eyes was distinctly different, murderously cold and detached. There wasn’t the slightest bit of human nature to be seen in them. Their foreheads were drenched in beads of sweat and bloodstains, yet they still clenched their teeth in a sneer.

“Your Highness!” Once they saw Nalan Ye arrive, the subordinates within the torture chamber greeted him one after another.

“Step aside.” Nalan Ye instructed them.

Luo Qing Luan’s gaze fell on the lacerations present all over the bodies of those two dressed in black, yet there wasn’t any expression revealed on her face. There was no fear to be seen, nor was there nervousness or terror. What was present was merely normalcy and apathy, such that not a trace of warmth could be perceived, as if she was entirely devoid of emotion.

This girl, was she for real?
