Sure enough, as Li Xiaodong expected, in the face of Prince Yukawa's interrogation, Yumiko knelt on the ground without saying a word, making it clear that she wanted to take the matter down.

"Yumiko, I warn you, this is the last time I ask you, who is Li Xiaodong, where is he, what is his relationship with you, and what is the conspiracy of your collusion?" Yukawa pointed at Yumiko and asked, his eyes already revealing a faint coldness.

Yumiko remained on her knees, without any answer.

She doesn't know where Li Xiaodong is, and even if she knows, she won't say it, she knows very well that the prince's party takes advantage of the situation to make trouble, no matter how she answers, it will not end well.

The crown princess on the side sneered again and again, and said fanning the flames: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has seen it now, Yumiko's insistence on not saying it is enough to prove that she has a ghost in her heart, and according to the royal decree, I suggest that she be tortured." ”

"Someone!" Prince Yukawa made a move, and the four guards who had been prepared a long time ago strode into the far mansion and came to the field.

Two of the four uniformed guards were holding wooden canes that were used for execution, which were heavy and long, and the pain of hitting people was unbearable, and because this kind of cane was too domineering, and there were often cases of killing and maiming, at this moment these four people looked solemn, lined up in two rows, and stood on Yumiko's left and right.

"Yumiko, once the execution is carried out, do you know what will happen?"

"Don't be stubborn anymore, tell us, what is your relationship with that Li Xiaodong, why do you want to hide it for him?" said the old prince Wen Cun with a look of hatred that iron is not steel, and he paused his cane on the ground.

Yumiko's heart is already like ashes.

She suddenly felt that there was no point in living, the indifferent and cruel royal family, her body like a willow, her dying grandfather, and Li Xiaodong, who was nowhere to be found...... She prayed helplessly in her heart: Master, forgive me, Yumiko can't hold on anymore.

The emperor's grandfather is dying, Yumiko has no ability to save him, and Yumiko's last bit of faith does not exist.

Yumiko is willing to turn into a wisp of breeze and follow her grandfather, only wishing that Yumiko will have the next life to repay the teacher's teachings.

She slowly closed her eyes and sighed sadly in her heart.

At this moment, she thought of Li Xiaodong in her mind, the man who raped her, the man who saved her and was kind to her, and she still wanted to end this bad relationship with him with her own hands, but unfortunately, there was no chance.

The next moment,

She calmed down and slowly knelt on the ground: "I'm sorry, uncle, please use the punishment, Yumiko doesn't want to say anything, only one death......"

The old prince stared at her hatefully and said, "Yumiko, you are really stubborn!"

Prince Yukawa immediately turned around and ordered: "Listen to my order, torture Yumiko, if she insists on not speaking, beat her until she is killed!"

The four uniformed guards bowed their heads in unison and said, "Hey!"

Suddenly, Yumiko's mother, who was excited, rushed out of the crowd, she cried and cried for Yumiko, but the crown princess Reiko waved her hand coldly, and immediately several military-uniformed guards stopped Yumiko's mother, at this moment, Yumiko's father, Prince Renzhi, was already in tears.

"Father, mother, daughter is not filial, can not share your worries, daughter owes you kindness, only in the next life to repay ......" Yumiko was pressed to the ground by two wolf-like guards, and her beautiful face, which was still raised, was already full of tears.

"Hit!"

Prince Yukawa let out a loud shout, and the two guards raised their heavy torture rods alof.

Bang!

The torture rod, which was full of strength, hit Yumiko behind the buttocks, causing her body to tremble violently.

She gritted her teeth and couldn't hold back the pain.

There was another snap, and another guard followed suit, and Yumiko was in a cold sweat and trembling slightly, but she tightened her body and still didn't say a word.

"You two use a little strength. Yumiko has practiced martial arts for many years, and her body is more durable than ordinary people, and you two have this kind of fighting, which doesn't hurt her......" Princess Reiko looked at her from the side, revealing a gloating look.

The two guards looked at each other, then raised the rod even higher, gritted their teeth, and struck it hard.

Finally, in the mournful crying of Yumiko's parents, Yumiko couldn't stand it anymore and kept screaming in pain and misery, while the prince and his wife glanced at each other and showed a hint of a gloomy smile that could not be hidden.

Behind the window, looking at Yumiko's resolute and tragic appearance, Li Xiaodong's heart was two points heavier.

Maybe it was that promise, she didn't confess herself in front of the prince from beginning to end, just rushing to this point, she should come forward to help her, but, as soon as she remembered the inseparable hatred with her, Li Xiaodong repeatedly asked herself in her heart: If you really want to stand up for her, is it worth it?

Could it be that the story of the farmer saving the snake is still going to be played out on you?

At this time, beside him, Doctor Liu couldn't bear to look at it, shook his head and said, "It's miserable, it's really miserable." A dignified princess was actually beaten like this, looking at their posture, I was afraid that she would really be killed alive. ”

He sighed and said, "I don't know who that Li Xiaodong is?" She has always concealed it, could it be that it is her lover in private, and she wants to protect her lover?" ”

When Li Xiaodong heard this, he frowned and looked at him, and wanted to say "You know a fart".

But he didn't say it after all, and swallowed it back alive.

"Stop, stop me......" Outside the courtyard gate, Hirakawa Hachiro, who rushed to hear the news, broke through the guards' obstruction and hurried into the compound.

The two executing guards stopped in time, looked at Hirakawa Hachiro, and then looked at the prince, and finally slowly put down the torture rod held high.

"Hirakawa Hachiro, you're not on duty at the shrine, what are you doing here?" Prince Yukawa put his hands behind his back with a proud face.

"What do you want to know, do you want to know the relationship between Li Xiaodong and Yumiko, I can tell you!"

Hachiro Hirakawa picked up Yumiko, who was about to faint, from the ground in time, his eyes were full of regret, and let her lie in his arms.

"Shizun, don't, leave me alone, Yumiko should have died a long time ago......" Seeing Shizun rushing over, Yumiko said weakly with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"Hirakawa Hachiro, since you know something, then what do you say, who is Li Xiaodong, and what is the relationship between him and Yumiko?" Prince Yukawa asked coldly.
