Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 286 Devil’s Island

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuesi hurried into the room.

Tian Quan ordered the guards at the door, "Guard well, don't let anyone get close, especially those from the Wen family!"

Although all the people on this floor are theirs, Tianquan is still extremely vigilant.

Although those people from the Wen family are allies, they are only cooperating for temporary interests and cannot be fully trusted.

Therefore, Tianquan will not take lightly the areas where it should be guarded.

In the room, Yun Fuling held the jade gourd and asked Fang Yu again: "Where did you get this jade gourd?"

Fang Yu stammered, and only then did he realize that this jade gourd was probably not an ordinary thing.

Yun Fuling's face was stern and her tone became increasingly sharp.

"This thing can't possibly be yours!"

"I'll give you one last chance!"

"Where on earth did this jade gourd come from?"

Seeing that Fang Yu still refused to speak, Yun Fuling became anxious and lost her patience.

She had previously thought that since Xiao Jingyi had the drop of spiritual water she gave him, he had a life-saving trump card.

Even if he encountered an accident and was in a dire situation, his life would be safe with that drop of spiritual water.

He will definitely be able to hold on until Yun Fuling finds him.

So although Yun Fuling was worried during this period, she was confident in her heart.

But now she found that the jade gourd she gave to Xiao Jingyi to save his life fell into someone else's hands.

Moreover, the jade gourd was empty and there was no spiritual water left.

Yun Fuling could no longer remain calm.

Yun Fuling didn't know whether the drop of spiritual water in the jade gourd was used up by Xiao Jingyi or fell into someone else's hands.

But now Xiao Jingyi no longer has the amulet of spiritual water with him. If he encounters a life-threatening situation, wouldn’t that be terrible?

No, she must find Xiao Jingyi as soon as possible!

The only clue at the moment is the young man named Fang Yu.

The look in Yun Fuling's eyes when she looked at Fang Yu was no longer one of kindness and compassion, but rather one of coldness.

"Tian Quan!" Yun Fuling called out.

Tian Quan, who was standing in the corner, immediately stepped forward and said, "Master."

Yun Fuling: "Give him a little pain, so he knows how to tell the truth!"

Tianquan responded "yes" and clenched his fists until they made a creaking sound.

Fang Yu was so frightened that his face turned pale. Before Tian Quan could make a move, he shouted, "I'll tell you, I picked up the jade gourd..."

Yun Fuling was furious when she heard this, her eyebrows raised: "How dare you lie!"

As she said this, she winked at Tian Quan, "I think you won't cry until you see the coffin, Tian Quan, take off his two arms!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu became even more frightened and began to tremble all over.

"I'm not lying, I really picked it up!"

"I found it in a crack in the rocks on Devil's Island."

"I saw that the jade gourd was small and delicate, and it should be worth a lot of money, so I secretly hid it on my body."

"I thought that when I return to Daqi, I would find a pawn shop to pawn it and earn some money to live on."

Yun Fuling had asked Tianquan to remove his two arms just now in order to deliberately scare him in order to trick him into telling the truth.

After such intimidation, Yun Fuling believed only about 70% of what Fang Yu said.

Yun Fuling held the jade gourd and asked, "When you picked it up, was it empty?"

"Have you ever opened the mechanism above?"

Fang Yu shook his head: "I don't know what the mechanism is?"

"This jade gourd looked like this when I picked it up. I don't know if it's empty inside."

There is a gourd leaf on the top of the jade gourd, and the mechanism to open the jade gourd is set on that gourd leaf.

The gourd leaves are integrated with the gourd body, and most people would not think that there is a mechanism on the gourd leaves.

The mechanism on this jade gourd is made with modern left-hand thread style.

This kind of rotating opening and closing is already commonplace in modern times, but in this era of mortise and tenon joints, it is unlikely that anyone other than her and Xiao Jingyi knows how to open the left-handed threaded mechanism on the jade gourd.

Yun Fuling speculated that the spiritual water in the jade gourd was most likely used up by Xiao Jingyi before Fang Yu picked up the jade gourd.

Thinking of this, Yun Fuling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but became more worried.

She had been worried that the spiritual water in the jade gourd had been used by outsiders.

The spiritual water is not an ordinary thing. If it is discovered by someone, it is very likely that they will use the jade gourd to search secretly.

She carries the secret of space and must not be discovered.

Even to Xiao Jingyi, Yun Fuling never thought of confessing everything to him.

Once a secret is spoken, it is no longer a secret.

But human nature can never stand the test.

Yun Fuling didn't want to reveal the secret, so she immediately changed the topic from the mechanism of the jade gourd and asked, "You just said that you found this jade gourd on Devil Island. What is Devil Island?"

Since this jade gourd was picked up by Fang Yu on Devil's Island, then Xiao Jingyi must have been to Devil's Island.

When mentioning Devil's Island, Fang Yu couldn't help but shudder.

He stammered, "Devil's Island... is... a very scary place..."

Next, from Fang Yu's narration, Yun Fuling learned that he was originally a villager in a coastal fishing village. He lost his mother at a young age and depended on his father who made a living by fishing.

One day, the father and son went out to sea to fish. Unfortunately, they encountered pirates. They were kidnapped to the pirates' ship and sent to Devil's Island.

On Devil's Island, they were forced to farm, build houses, and do other hard and tiring work.

If they slacked off even a little, the people guarding them on the island would beat and scold them, either by punching, kicking or whipping them.

Fang Yu sobbed as he said this, and even unbuttoned his shirt to show Yun Fuling and the others the whip marks on his body.

"Many of us were abducted and brought to the island because people were needed to work on the island."

"But they don't treat us well. They treat us like cattle and horses, ordering us around and beating us."

"Last month, my father accidentally knocked over a can of slurry, and they beat him to death!"

Yun Fuling frowned when she heard this.

This Devil's Island is really as its name suggests, it is like the devil's hell.

Also, what kind of people are those on the island?

Kidnapping people, imprisoning people privately, and taking human lives lightly!

No matter which one it is, it is a serious crime!

"Since you didn't come here voluntarily, have you ever thought about escaping?"

Fang Yu wiped his eyes and asked, "Why haven't you thought about it?"

"After my father and I were captured and taken to Devil's Island, we have been thinking about escaping."

"But the Devil's Island is heavily guarded, and there are no boats. Even if you escape, you will die in the sea."

"I don't know what happened on the island a few days ago, and it suddenly became chaotic."

"I saw a boat on the shore, so I took advantage of the chaos with a few friends and escaped, then sailed away from Devil's Island."

"Who knew we would encounter a huge whirlpool at sea, which sucked us, the boat and the people into the whirlpool."
