Grand Duke Andrei hurried to Ivan IV's chambers, followed by a group of guards, each with a grim and nervous look on their faces.

The captain of the guard guarding Ivan IV tried to stop Grand Duke Andrei's advance, but was violently pushed away by the other party. The chief guard staggered back and nearly fell to the ground.

"Get out of the way."

Grand Duke Andrei glared at him angrily, cursing in his mouth, and he did not have time to explain his every move to the guards.

Seeing this, the surrounding guards instantly placed the envoy axe in front of Grand Duke Andrei and made a gesture of preparation. The atmosphere drew their swords and stretched their bows in an instant, and everyone looked at each other nervously. The attendant who followed behind Grand Duke Andrei was obviously not a vegetarian, and he also drew his long sword from his waist and pointed it at the throat of the tsar's attendant.

The chief of the guard said righteously, "Grand Duke Andrei, are you going to break into the palace and assassinate the Tsar?" ”

Grand Duke André did not speak, and just as the conflict was about to erupt, the closed door of the dormitory slowly opened. The young Tsar Ivan IV stood in the doorway, taking in the tension of the confrontation in front of him.

"Chief of the Guard, I asked him to come here."

Ivan IV signaled the other party to calm down, it was just a misunderstanding.

The struggle that had been on the verge of breaking out was terminated in an instant, and the chief guard glanced at Grand Duke Andrei suspiciously, and put away his weapon.

Grand Duke Andrei walked quickly in front of Ivan IV, glanced at Natasha, who was sitting on the ground in the room, and whispered, "Your Majesty...... We ...... now"

Ivan IV looked normal, waved his hand and signaled Grand Duke Andrei not to speak yet. He said bluntly, "Take Natasha to a prison in Moscow, and I'm going to interrogate her myself." ”

The young tsar did not shy away from the guards on the side, but emphasized it again. Just as he turned around, he whispered to Grand Duke Andrei, "After passing through the corridor, put a hood on her and don't let anyone else know who Natasha is." ”

At this time, the tsar did not have the immaturity of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, and his careful mind seemed to be planning an unknown conspiracy.

As the elder of Ivan IV, Grand Duke Andrei at this time behaved very humbly. The fate of the entire family was tied to the plans of the young tsar.

He nodded, and instructed the guards to pick up the dejected Natasha and take her out.

Five days ago, when the little Tsar Ivan came to the door with a conspiracy plan, Grand Duke Andrei, who had been politically unwilling, risked everything on his nephew.

When everything was ready, Ivan IV left the Kremlin with Grand Duke Andrei, stepped into a carriage that had been prepared, and arrived at the secret prison of Lefortov in Moscow.

Lefortov was secretly imprisoned.

It has been used as a place to hold and interrogate political prisoners and felons. In the future, there will be a woman named Catherine who will make this place synonymous with the dictatorship and the reign of terror in the Tsarist Empire.

The thick walls cut off all hope of the prisoners' escape.

The gray-brown walls and blood-stained torture instruments reveal that there was a bloody secret that had taken place here.

Natasha, whose hands were tied, was taken off her hood, and when her eyes slowly adjusted to the dark prison, she realized that she was not dead, but was locked in a narrow prison.

She found that in addition to Ivan and Grand Duke Andrei, there was a strange iron box standing in front of her.

An iron humanoid coffin with a shape similar to that of the Virgin Mary.

The face carved into the heavy iron box gave Natasha a sense of foreboding.

"I need the list."

Ivan spoke, he looked at Natasha who looked panicked, and said word by word, "The list of the eyeliner that Grand Duke Shuisky has deployed beside me must be more than you, tell me your comrades." ”

Natasha gritted her teeth and didn't speak.

After a moment of waiting, Ivan IV finally lost his patience, pointed to the torture instrument beside him, and said to Natasha, "Before I stuff you in, allow me to introduce you." This is a torture instrument modeled after Nuremberg, the Iron Maiden. There is a cavity of human nature inside. The front can be opened from left and right, and the cavity inside can accommodate people. There are nails that pierce inwards on the door, as well as nails on the inside of the main body. ”

With that, Ivan asked the squire to open the Iron Maiden, and the sharp and sharp spikes were displayed in front of Natasha.

Even Grand Duke Andrei couldn't help but feel creepy after seeing this torture instrument.

Ivan caressed the edge of the Iron Maiden, the cold iron vessel signaling death. Unhurriedly, he continued to explain to Natasha, "The earliest recorded use of such instruments is from 205 to 194 BC by the tyrant Nabis, who ruled Sparta. He would often say that if I can't convince you, maybe my beautiful Edpiga can. The unfortunate creature is then led to a statue in the form of a tyrant's beautiful wife, with sharp blades on her arms, and the victim is killed in this fatal embrace. Of course, this torture device won't make your death too easy. You will be locked inside, and then the Iron Maiden will slowly shut up, and the sharp nails will pierce your body bit by bit, bleeding until you are tortured, and then slowly die. ”

After listening to Ivan IV's story, Natasha sat down on the ground in fright, and her reason was on the verge of collapse.

At this time, the smiling Ivan IV was less cowardly and cowardly than before, and more like a terrible demon in her eyes.

It was as if the cocoon of cowardice had been shed overnight and transformed into a violent monster.

Ivan's eyes sharpened, like a sharp iron nail striking at her heart.

Ivan IV lost patience and said to Natasha, whose lips had been trembling, "Now tell me the name." Otherwise I'll pry your mouth open with an iron virgin. And your family will be exiled and executed because of you! ”

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

The last straw completely crushed reason, Natasha's heart defense completely collapsed, she grabbed Ivan's hand, and said incoherently, "I don't know who else is the pawn of Lord Shuisky next to His Majesty, we have not seen each other." I am only responsible for telling the Grand Duke about His Majesty's every move, I really don't know about the rest, please Your Majesty don't kill me! ”

Old fox.

Ivan IV cursed secretly, he did not know how far the power of the Grand Duke Shuisky had penetrated, and now it seemed that the attendants who had served the tsar around him were all objects of suspicion.

Cautious and suspicious, he made a bold decision in his heart.

At this time, Natasha thought that she had survived, and touched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at the sharp nails in the iron box with paleness.

However, the joy of the aftermath did not last long, and a relieved smile froze on Order's face.

The young tsar, who was once despised and ridiculed by the court attendants and servants behind his back, told the guards next to him in an indifferent tone at this time.

"Stuff her into me as an iron virgin."
