Chapter 164: The Evil Empress (24)

Zhao Jiaqi glanced at the jailer, who continued to pull out Victoria's nails one by one, and every time she pulled out, she had to ask Victoria: "Is it called the queen mother?" ”

And each time she was answered by Victoria's silence.

Except for the first time Victoria exhaled in pain, and then pulled her nails, she didn't even cry out in pain, but kept changing the rate of her breathing, as if she could feel better.

Ten fingers were left with only two little fingers and fingernails, and the jailer looked at Zhao Jiaqi with a big head, and the latter got up and took the whip on the Xing frame, dipped it in cold water in the wooden barrel on the side, and walked to Victoria, who was looking dying, with a whip in his backhand.

The sudden pain in her body made Victoria's eyes widen, but what hurt more than the whip on her body was the unbearable pain of the wound that had been pulled open at the moment like a flame.

Looking at the cold sweat on Victoria's forehead, Zhao Jiaqi said proudly: "Do you know why it hurts so much?" It's a salt-soaked whip, and if the whip pulls away your flesh, the salt will take advantage of the opportunity to enter and make your wound have a constant pain, how about it? It doesn't taste good, does it? Is it called a concubine? ”

Victoria bit her lower lip and bit her head.

Zhao Jiaqi handed the whip in his hand to the jailer on the side: "Fight, when will she stop." ”

The jailer took the whip and said, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Afterwards, a whip fell on Victoria's body, and the entire dungeon was filled with the sound of flogging, and many prisoners were afraid to show their heads when they heard it.

Victoria didn't say a word, clenching her teeth.

Finally, on the twenty-ninth stroke, Victoria's vision began to blur, and finally she couldn't resist and lost consciousness.

The jailer looked at Victoria, who was tilted her head, first probed her snort, and then said to Zhao Jiaqi: "Your Highness, princess, she-fainted." ”

Even an experienced jailer had never seen a prisoner who could hold on to twenty-nine lashes without saying a word, not to mention that Princess Victoria was a pampered child.

Zhao Jiaqi raised his eyes and said, "Splash her with cold water to wake her up, and I'll come back tomorrow." With that, he turned around and left.

In fact, at this moment, Victoria didn't need to splash cold water, her body was already soaked with her own sweat.

The jailer finally couldn't bear it, and after Zhao Jiaqi left, he symbolically broke some hot water on Victoria's body, making her look wet.

At night, the jailer, who was afraid that Victoria would really freeze to death, prepared a thicker quilt for her.

The jailer who took the quilt and covered Victoria's body said while busy: "Your Royal Highness Princess, we can't afford to offend the queen, she is quite popular with Your Majesty, and she is the Holy Maiden of the Royal Church, she can kill us with a word, if you bear with it, maybe Your Majesty will let you out in two days." ”

Victoria, who was unconscious, did not respond.

After the change of guards, another good-looking jailer pretended to carry a brazier and sat down in a place closest to Victoria's cell, and the brazier was close at hand, allowing the comatose Victoria to spend the warmest night in the dungeon.

At the same time, Twelve gets the letter of surrender from the Cass Empire and prepares to return home.

The Cass Empire is now a vassal state of the Robert Empire, and should be called the Cass Empire.

Now that Cecil has stepped down as emperor, all the affairs of Cass are temporarily in the hands of a few great nobles.

Twelve asked Cecil what he was going to do, and he replied that he would first deal with the traitor of the country of Cass and Todd, the sinner of the people.

Ever since Todd was found out that he had coerced Cecil into inducing the Emperor to lead the war, he had been imprisoned.

Todd cried out for his life, and only then did he get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den.

Originally, Todd's plan was to wait until he reached the country of Cass to show Cecil that he was coerced into beheading both Twelve and Shaw.

But stealing chickens and rice did not make a mistake, not only failed to kill the enemy, but also put his own life on the line.

Todd sighed in prison: "I think I, Todd is smart, why did I plant it in the hands of two women of the Campbell family." He won't admit that he is inferior to others, and he will only feel that he is in conflict with the Campbell family.

Naively, he was still thinking about how he would embarrass the Campbell family if he went out.

The cell door opened, and Cecil walked in.

When Todd saw him, he crawled over and grabbed Cecil's trouser leg: "Your Majesty! The villain is wronged, I just want Your Majesty to complete the hegemony of the emperor to dominate the world! For the sake of my hard work over the years, you can let me go! ”

Cecil shook his legs, and Todd rolled off his lap: "Todd, originally as long as you were willing to help and open a canal to divert water for the people, I didn't plan to deal with you, but now you are still obsessed, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Todd looked at him inexplicably, and gradually fear replaced the confusion on his face, and he could see the killing intent in Cecil's eyes.

"No, Lord Cecil, it's of much use to keep him." Twelve's voice came.

"What do you mean, Lord Cecil, a woman from the Campbells? How can you call Your Majesty by his name! Todd had the momentum of a fox and a tiger.

Twelve turned and entered the cell, looked around, and said, "You have good conditions here, much better than Novino's water prison." ”

"What do you mean? It means that the Cass Empire has been subordinated to the Robert Empire, and now your Majesty no longer has the title of emperor, he is just the head of the Cass family, and he doesn't even have the title of a pitiful little pitiful. ”

Twelve's words made Cecil roll his eyes.

Who is the little pitiful, you are the little pitiful, your whole family is!

"So it's useless for you to beg him, you might as well beg me, I'm the imperial concubine of Emperor Robert, and my words carry a bit of weight, and it's easy to keep you." Twelve smiled narrowly.

Todd apparently failed to wake up from the fall of the Cass Empire, and froze in place.

Cecil asked, "You say it's useful to keep him?" What's the use? ”

Twelve replied: "I will definitely meet many rebels along the way when I return to Novino, in order to prevent you, the former emperor, from being wronged and carrying the blame, I will bring this culprit back to the imperial capital of the Robert Empire for a public trial, so that everyone will know Todd's sins." ”

Under Cecil's thick eyelashes, two grape-like purple eyes were full of doubts: "Why?" ”

"What, why?"

"Why do you want to clear my name?"

Twelve smiled and said: "Don't be sentimental, I'm not clearing your name, but using Todd to win the hearts of the Robert Empire." ”
