At the entrance, the guards, their faces solemn, pulled Dong Lin and Bai Zhao back.

Dong Lin realized that Bai Zhao's words were not true and understood that he must be hiding something.

Looking sideways at Zhao Yuwei, he indeed saw a look of surprise on her face.

Clearly, she was the one who stole the medicine.

However, the two had different feelings for each other, which made Bai Zhaoning rather die than betray Zhao Yuwei.

"I have something to say, let me go."

Seeing that the guards were about to take him away, he struggled desperately, escaped from their grasp, and knelt before Su Xuerou.

"Please give me some time, I have a way."

Su Xuerou looked down at Dong Lin's face, which was contorted with fear, and realized that he must have some special methods. She waved her hand.

"You don't have much time. I only listen to what is supported by evidence."

Without evidence, Zhao Yuwei certainly wouldn't admit it.

Moreover, Bai Zhao's previous testimony has already proven that Zhao Yuwei was not the one who stole the medicine, so his subsequent recantation will definitely not be accepted.

Seeing that Su Xuerou was willing to give him a chance, he quickly nodded: "I have a way. Let me use my methods to make him tell the truth."

A moment later, she returned to bed and looked at the guards not far away: "Let them go."

The guards stepped back a few paces and released the man.

As long as they intend to attack, the guards will surely act immediately, preventing them from hitting Su Xuerou.

Just as Dong Lin was about to speak, Su Xuerou looked up at the two of them and said, "If the person he's going to tell you isn't Zhao Yuwei, then you... will definitely die."

His words were light and airy, yet they carried an undeniable tone.

Dong Lin understood Su Xuerou's personality, took a deep breath, and walked up to her: "I guarantee he will tell the truth and will not play tricks on us."

"Hurry up, I'm not giving you much time, don't make things awkward for us."

Upon hearing that Su Xuerou was willing to give him a little time, he walked towards Bai Zhao, his face filled with coldness.

“That’s not what you just said to me. Whatever your relationship may be, I hope you can tell the truth.”

He felt that his own life was the most important thing; as the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, and he would never allow himself to die in such a place for no reason.

Bai Zhao looked up at Zhao Yuwei not far away, his face solemn: "I'm not lying, I really didn't see anything."

"Bang.."

He had barely finished speaking when he was violently slapped away and crashed into the door with a thud.

Clearly, the blow had caused him great injury, even causing him to bleed.

Seeing that Dong Lin was using such a despicable method to deal with Bai Zhao, Zhao Yuwei quickly went to Su Xuerou.

"Can confessions obtained through torture really be trusted?"

On the bed, Su Xuerou listened to Zhao Yuwei's pre-arranged excuses, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, and she felt that they made some sense.

Under such threats, people often speak out of control and are highly likely to give false testimony.

"We can't use such methods, otherwise she won't believe what this person says."

In the distance, Bai Zhao saw Zhao Yuwei come out to speak for him, and his eyes were full of gratitude.

In the entire Palace of Bliss, Zhao Yuwei is probably the only one who is truly good to me; no one else has that kind of power.

When Dong Lin saw that Su Xuerou did not allow him to do so, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He had no choice but to comply, bowing towards the two of them and looking at Bai Zhao again.

"If you don't want to suffer physical pain, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise... I wouldn't mind killing you."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuerou's face turned extremely ugly.

He had just finished saying that he couldn't use words or actions to force a confession, but Dong Lin acted as if he hadn't heard him at all.

Because of the truth, she could only remain silent and wait for Bai Zhao to tell the truth.

"I...I didn't see anything, and I will never lie because of your coercion or enticement."

Bai Zhao clutched his wound tightly, his face serious, completely disregarding Dong Lin.

At this moment, Dong Lin saw that he was still holding on, and turned to look at Su Xuerou: "I plan to use some of my own methods, and I hope you will agree."

Without suffering even a little physical pain, how could the truth possibly come out?

Seeing that Dong Lin was determined to use torture, Su Xuerou turned to Zhao Yuwei and asked, "What do you think?"

It was quite a coincidence that the problem fell on her.

If she forbids the use of torture, it would make her seem guilty.

In this way, Su Xuerou will definitely pin the blame for the missing medicine on herself, and both of them will die.

In the Palace of Bliss, no one who has ever told a lie has ever lived.

Besides, in Su Xuerou's eyes, Bai Zhao was not even as good as a watchdog; killing him was like killing a bug.

Zhao Yuwei pretended to think for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I think he can use some special methods, but he can't kill people, otherwise... it will be difficult to convince the public."

"Since even you approve, then the rest is up to you."

When Dong Lin saw that Zhao Yuwei had given her her approval, he approached Bai Zhao with a cruel smile on his face: "You see? This is the person you're supposed to protect, someone you can even use torture on."

Bai Zhao was not swayed by Dong Lin's divisive words. He snorted coldly, "I will only tell the truth. I will never collude with you. Go ahead and attack me."

As he said this, he quietly closed his eyes, as if waiting for the torture to be inflicted upon him.

A moment later, Dong Lin took out the Blood Lotus and scraped it hard onto Bai Zhao's body.

In an instant, a painful wail echoed through the hall; the wound on his arm was so deep that the bone was visible.

Even if Bai Zhao hadn't been tortured to death, he probably wouldn't have been able to do those physically demanding jobs.

"I...did not see the person who stole the medicine."

At this moment, his body began to tremble, and even his eyes began to turn blood red.

The blood lotus can not only tear off all the flesh and blood from the body, but it can even leave a large mark on the bones.

If that person had even a trace of spiritual energy left in their body, they wouldn't have fainted here.

Seeing that Bai Zhao didn't say anything, Dong Lin placed the blood lotus on his other arm.

"hiss..."

A cold shout came from his mouth, clearly indicating that he had reached his limit.

From a distance, Zhao Yuwei saw Bai Zhao being targeted by Dong Lin in this way and couldn't bear it.

Taking advantage of Su Xuerou's inattention, she transformed into a streak of light and arrived beside Dong Lin.

"Bang..."

The sound of a blow came from her hand, and Dong Lin was sent flying several steps by the blow.

"you..."

At this moment, Su Xuerou sat up straight, a mocking smile on her face: "Couldn't hold back anymore?"

Zhao Yuwei ignored them, sat cross-legged behind Bai Zhao, and continuously channeled her spiritual energy into Bai Zhao's body to help him recover from the injury on his arm.

"I admit that I did steal the elixir, but why do you have to do it to me like this?"

She knew early on that Su Xuerou had seen through her weaknesses, but she never expected Su Xuerou to do something so outrageous.
