Chapter 21: Torture
She threw her bracelet at the door of the "Mingyang Palace" and deliberately made a noise, believing that with her sister's intelligence, she would guess the seriousness of the problem. Shu Ji Piggyback
Zhuang Meiyan closed her eyes, she knew that what she had done had been very successful, she just deliberately asked the guards for help, and said something that seemed flustered and illogical, just to make them think that she was preparing to sue the emperor - this was just to confuse the other party's sight and cover up her true purpose.
I hope that more innocent people will escape this fate.
Zhuang Meiyan, who was covered in bruises, suddenly heard some slight voices next door. The cell is cleverly designed so that the sound from the outside can come in a little, but the sound from the inside is difficult to get outside.
"Brother, you broke into the palace of the mourning family before dawn, did you just want to question this matter? If the princess loses the side of the palace, you will suspect the mourning family? What kind of reason is this! The prince of Ruixiang is in power, and you don't have to help outsiders to bully your sister, brother. ”
"Sister, I just don't want to see you and Daddy make mistakes again and again. ”
You found out the evidence of Prince Ruixiang's guilt three years ago, but you have been helping him cover it up. What is this? My good brother who enforces the law impartially!"
Zhuang Meiyan heard that this was a conversation between a man and a woman, the woman was naturally the queen, but the man was Qin Fengyang, this person was upright, listening to his words, it seemed that he was here for himself.
The queen's denial made Qin Fengyang speechless, so he could only say: "The queen's mother!
Qin Fengyang was about to leave, Zhuang Meiyan didn't want to lose this last chance, shook his body vigorously, and whimpered loudly, hoping to attract the other party's attention. Qin Fengyang was worthy of catching fast, his hearing was sharper than that of ordinary people, and he asked vigilantly, "What sound?...... Sister, that cup of tea just now...... You're drugged!"
Qin Fengyang's voice was indignant, and his voice was weak and weak. Zhuang Meiyan knows that it is not good, it seems that the queen is desperate this time, and she will never allow the slightest mistake, even if it is her own brother, she will never let go.
Hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and it was the group of palace maids who were in charge of torture who pushed the door in, and the last person to walk in turned out to be the queen. The palace maids rolled up their sleeves and looked at Zhuang Meiyan with cold and vicious eyes, Zhuang Meiyan felt a burst of despair, she knew that a new round of torture was about to start again.
Zhuang Meiyan stubbornly raised her head, staring at the queen who walked in at the end, the queen was also looking at her, the two confronted each other for a moment, and a famous palace maid whipped her viciously and scolded: "Bold and cheap! Don't tell the truth quickly." ”
The queen motioned to the palace maids to remove the white cloth stuffed in Zhuang Meiyan's mouth, Zhuang Meiyan took two breaths hard, and grinned bitterly.
"Queen Mother, why bother...... Even if you force a confession now, when the time comes, in front of the Holy One, the charm will still retract the confession...... Rebellion is a great sin...... The emperor won't listen to a confession, you really wasted your efforts!"
Zhuang Meiyan knows very well that now her words and deeds determine the life and death of many people, Ruixiang Wangye's Mansion, Zhuang Mansion, and Duanmu Hao, who is far away from the capital, every word of those palace maids who coerce and lure cannot be believed, if they already have conclusive evidence, why take the risk of taking her into the palace, or even set up a private court, torture to extract confessions, and directly send Dali Temple for trial?
The queen mother said: "The emperor has already noticed Duanmu Hao's behavior, even if you refuse to confess his crime, the emperor will investigate him, and there is no need for conclusive evidence to rebel against this crime." ”
"The mourning family manages the harem, but they can't tolerate those things that happen to the flies and dogs, the sinner Jiang family and Duanmu Hao secretly colluded, and even gave birth to a child to pretend to be the prince, and the things in the world are not known unless you do it. Someone has already confessed to their crimes, so why should you torture an unfaithful man? ”
The queen said righteously, with a face of impartiality. Zhuang Meiyan was very disgusted in her heart, and sneered: "Since someone knows, why does the queen mother come to me, who doesn't know? This matter is unheard of! How could the prince have an affair with the harem, it is really nonsense!"
"The mourning family knows that the Jiang family and you are good sisters, and they have been kind to you, but which is more important, I hope you can distinguish it clearly! Wealth is someone else's, and life is your own!"
The queen's words already showed a blatant threat, and Zhuang Meiyan knew that it was extremely dangerous from the moment she entered the palace, so she didn't plan to get out alive, because she just smiled faintly and didn't answer anymore.
Seeing this, the queen's face was gloomy and she waved her hand lightly.
The palace maid in charge of the execution understood, picked up the red-hot soldering iron on the torture rack, and stabbed Zhuang Meiyan in the back hard. Zhuang Meiyan arched his body and let out a miserable scream! The body writhed and struggled as hard as he could, and the smell of burnt human flesh filled this small room, and the situation was terrible, and the onlookers were indifferent, and even showed a satisfied look on their faces.
Zhuang Meiyan's mind gradually began to blur, and she heard the queen's fierce voice say: "People's hearts are flesh and blood, I don't believe that she can withstand the test of iron torture, no matter what method you use, you must get her personal confession before dawn, if she wants to retract her confession, then beat her until she dares not retract her confession!"
"Yes!
"But don't be like last time; that little girl from 'Mingyang Palace' finally confessed, and she actually swallowed her breath! Hang her with ginseng soup, and the mourning family asked her to keep a breath so that she could give an explanation to the emperor! Look at how the emperor protects the goblin in 'Mingyang Palace' this time. ”
"Yes!
Zhuang Meiyan also knew very well in her heart that her life could live until after today's dawn, so what about tomorrow? Will she still have a chance to see tomorrow's sun?
Vaguely, she thought of many people, many things, her life. She knew that her consciousness was on the verge of collapse, and she heard that when people were about to die, they would remember many things that they could no longer remember, many things that they thought they had forgotten.
Wife!
In a trance, the boy stood in the wilderness, tilting his head and smiling at her, looking mischievous. The bits and pieces that were with him came back to life in an instant.
She saved him, he saved her, he warmed her, she warmed him.
originally thought that the two would owe each other nothing and have nothing to worry about, but they didn't know that the bond was such a dense cobweb that was tightly connected, and they had quietly and unconsciously tied the two of them firmly.
Even at such a moment, there is no way to forget him!
A stream of heat was poured into her throat, Zhuang Meiyan seemed to be a little sober, she barely opened her eyes, and saw that the hateful faces around her were paying attention to her, and asked eagerly: "Who is Xiaobai? Is it the lover of that slut of the Jiang family?
They are already hungry, as long as it is a crime that can be placed on Jiang Fubai's body, they are willing to get it.
Zhuang Meiyan twitched her mouth weakly, she no longer had the strength to sneer.
"Tell me quickly, who is Xiaobai?"
"Say it quickly!"
They are getting less and less patient, is it almost dawn?
Zhuang Meiyan laughed with all the strength of her body, her smile was gentle and pleasant, and the people around her were a little panicked.
"Little white...... Xiaobai, he is my lover!"
This sentence was shouted out with her last strength, Zhuang Meiyan was relieved, she had no regrets!
The palace maids who were full of hope gathered around her were angry and screamed, and some went to the torture rack to pick up a long whip, dipped it in salt water, and came over with a fierce look. Zhuang Meiyan closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and waited for the next round of torture to begin, but she didn't feel any pain, and the sounds around her were unexpectedly quiet.
The strength in her hand suddenly loosened, her body lost control and fell downward, Zhuang Meiyan was shocked, she found that what she fell into was not the cold and hard ground she imagined, but a warm embrace. Zhuang Meiyan opened his eyes weakly, the man holding him was Qin Fengyang, his face was anxious and nervous, and there was anger.
"Sister, how can this be? It's so cruel!"
Zhuang Meiyan in her arms was covered with scars, countless blood marks, and she couldn't find any intact flesh and skin all over her body, and her face was as white as a thin piece of white paper, her breathing was intermittent, her slender eyelashes hung down weakly, and the so-called opening of her eyes was just a few slight tremors of her eyelashes, Zhuang Meiyan squinted and looked at him blankly.
Qin Fengyang couldn't bear it. He gently picked up Zhuang Meiyan's body apologetically, stood up, and said softly: "Princess Fang, if you hold on, I will take you out of the palace immediately!"
Although his consciousness was in a trance, Zhuang Meiyan still vaguely thought of something.
"You...... Aren't you poisoned?" her voice was low.
"Hehe, so you heard it. Although my sister hates me for not being angry, she won't really kill me after all. She gave me a drug, and there are not too many drugs in the world that can charm me Qin Fengyang! At least ordinary drugs have no effect on me. ”
Qin Fengyang chattered endlessly.
Zhuang Meiyan was tired to death, and he only felt that every word he said was so verbose and annoying. She finally saw a glimmer of hope, her tense nerves immediately wanted to relax, her eyelids kept sticking together, and she especially wanted to sleep at this time, even if she was standing, she seemed to be asleep.
Therefore, Qin Fengyang deliberately talked to her to distract him.
"Meiyan, I know you're very tired right now, you have to persevere, I need your cooperation to get out of here. You put on the clothes of this palace maid. The palace gate is about to open, and we will go out of the palace. ”
Zhuang Meiyan shook her body and was at the mercy of Qin Fengyang, although she understood the other party's mind very well, her physical strength had really reached the limit.
"Leave me alone...... Let's go. Zhuang Meiyan muttered, her weak hands trying to push Qin Fengyang away.
Qin Fengyang suddenly turned his head nervously and shouted in a vigilant voice: "Who!"
The wind suddenly rose, and Zhuang Meiyan was pushed to the corner by a force. She turned her head with difficulty, and saw another man in black coming in the cell, entangled with Qin Fengyang, the two fought faster and faster, the man in black seemed to have the upper hand, and after a few moves, the man in black knocked Qin Fengyang unconscious.
Unexpectedly, the queen also hides a killer!
Zhuang Meiyan thought vaguely, Qin Fengyang was the queen's younger brother after all, presumably she would not kill him.
She was slightly relieved in her heart, looking at the approaching killer step by step, there was no fear in her heart.
"Give me a good time!" she whispered.
Stagnation of consciousness.
