Chapter 253: Ten Tortures
Just when everyone was puzzled that Mu Wanru said that it was not like this, the queen was also puzzled, obviously it was embroidered by herself, she actually said that it was not like this, since it was not like this, what kind ,,,of time was it?
"The courtiers know their mistakes, please punish the queen!" Mu Wanru never thought that Mu Yueli would suddenly stand up at this time, in order to prevent her from telling the truth that the peony competition was embroidered by her, she couldn't care much, she could only admit her guilt. She knows that as long as Mu Yueli tells the truth, she will be finished, not only will all her past reputations be ruined, but she will also be charged with a crime of bullying, even if this crime of bullying can be borne by Mu Yueli with her, but for her, she will lose more! She must not let people know that this peony competition is embroidered by Mu Yueli, a little slut.
"Big sister. Mu Yueli frowned and shouted, but it provoked Mu Wanru to stare fiercely, and then saw that Mu Yueli seemed to be frightened, and she didn't dare to speak again.
The interaction between Mu Wanru and Mu Yueli sisters, everyone saw it in their eyes, and they knew in their hearts that the third lady of Zuo Xiangfu was so afraid of the eldest lady! Two years ago, they had heard some rumors about Zuo Xiangfu, could it be that this rumor was true?
Mu Wanru secretly complained about Mu Yueli in her heart, this stinky girl, what kind of fun did she run out to make a scene? She thought that she admitted that the peony was embroidered by her, did she help her, she was really a brainless girl, and she had to take the initiative to admit her guilt. But she couldn't have imagined that Mu Yueli, who she had always bullied, wanted to make her take the initiative to confess!
Mu Yueli knows in her heart that since the last incident, Mu Wanru's temperament has changed, she has become much smarter, and she also knows how to weigh the pros and cons, the lesser of two evils, she will definitely not risk a greater loss and drag herself into the water, and her goal has been achieved!
"Hmph! What a Mu Wanru!Sure enough, she has bad intentions!" Princess Ning Yue snorted coldly, and then looked at the queen mother, "Queen Mother, since she has admitted it, she must not be spared!"
The queen looked at Mu Wanru expressionlessly, all her good moods were ruined by Mu Wanru, she didn't expect that she was so well-behaved and cute before, and the gentle and elegant Mu Wanru first killed her maid in her bedroom today, and then gave this fake peony picture to herself, her intentions can be seen.
If she doesn't punish Mu Wanru well today, then her queen's prestige will definitely be greatly reduced, especially those concubines will not take her seriously. In the harem, I am cheating, today's out, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will hold on to this peony and peony problem in the future, although Concubine Wan is close to her, but after all, she is also the most favored concubine of the emperor, if she is the queen with peony, then the flower king is...
Murong Yurong glanced at Concubine Wan lightly, and a trace of firmness appeared in her heart, if she didn't express her position, she would admit that she was only worthy of being a peony, this was undoubtedly sending the queen's position to someone else's hands, no matter what aspect she considered, she couldn't show mercy to her subordinates, Mu Wanru was so bold, she had to bear the price of boldness!
"Someone!" the queen spoke in a deep voice, and the gloomy tone came into Mu Wanru's ears, Mu Wanru's heart followed the words of the queen mother, and couldn't help shrinking, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Murong Yurong in the hope that the queen mother could look at the prince's face and forgive her, but when she saw the queen's eyes full of coldness, her heart was even colder. She knows that she will not be able to escape today, not only that, but all the love and love that the queen has for her in the past will disappear!
Thinking about the punishment that awaited her next, Mu Wan was full of panic and uneasiness, as if she was in hell.
On top of this hall, many young ladies of the family couldn't help but tremble after listening to the queen's punishment of Mu Wanru, they wanted to watch a good show, but they didn't expect that the queen would give Mu Wanru such a heavy punishment - one of the top ten tortures at the peony banquet in front of so many people.
It is said that the Ten Tortures were banned for many years, but it was only in these years that they reappeared, but as long as they were not felonies, they were rarely used.
It seems that Mu Wanru is afraid that she will offend the queen mother a lot this time, so she has moved out of such torture, and Mu Wanru feels good now. They thought about the previous incident in the queen's bedroom, thinking that the queen's mother had also counted this matter into this matter, and the queen was even more angry, so she used such cruel torture.
But these young ladies of the family were proud when they saw Mu Wan being praised, and now they saw that Mu Wan was going to be punished with her fingers when she was like this, and the schadenfreude in their hearts became even stronger.
"Mu Wanru, this palace has always loved you, in the palace of this palace before, what you did has disappointed this palace very much, and now this incident has appeared again, this palace never expected you to treat this palace like this, so this palace will only punish you a little, you are so self-conscious. The queen spoke coldly, and her tone was light and light, as if what she said in her mouth, 'a little punishment' was just confinement, but the smart people understood that the queen mother was standing up! She was telling everyone that there were countless ways to punish people, which was enough to make people miserable, and those people with bad intentions didn't want to do anything, she was not easy to provoke!
The emperor Nan Batian and Concubine Wan on the side knew the queen's thoughts, but they were silent, Mu looked at the queen as if pleading, and immediately regretted that she confessed so quickly just now, if she was not in a hurry to confess, she could still think of a way to push the matter onto other people, but now it is too late, she has already confessed to the crime, the crime has been decided, and the torture waiting for her, she dare not imagine.
She looked at the crown prince Nan Yuyi with hope again, but unfortunately the prince would not help him, he didn't like Mu Wanru himself, why should he offend his mother for a woman, just a side concubine, even if it is gone, he can still have other side concubines, so he is still a person with brains. The prince looked away lightly and ignored Mu Wanru.
At this time, Mu Wanru's heart was cold, the man she had liked for so many years didn't even help her, and when she saw the torture instrument in front of her, she only felt that she had stepped into hell on earth. Mu Wanru's face was already terrifyingly pale, and before she touched the torture instrument, she felt that her fingers seemed to be useless, and the pain pierced her heart, how could the queen mother be so ruthless? Is she going to destroy her? And when everyone saw the torture instrument in front of Mu Wanru, they only felt cold.
