At that moment, it felt like I was about to die, teetering on the edge of death. I could barely breathe; I knew that even one more second would mean certain death.

"Confess," Yu Ying said, landing behind Qin Jue.

"Okay, I'll go in a bit."

Qin Jue watched as the little dumpling, who was walking more and more smoothly, still reached out for a hug.

She knelt down, held the little one in her arms, and gently soothed her.

Kids will be kids, they fall asleep so quickly.

After putting the little dumpling down, he asked Sanhezi to look after her. He told her to let him know if anything happened, and then he left the palace.

Sanhezi entered the main hall and sat on the floor under the bed, keeping a close eye on the little princess's blanket.

As soon as Xiaoxi lifted the blanket, Sanhezi covered her up again, making sure the little princess didn't fall off the bed.

The disheveled woman was still shouting, "Devils! You are all devils!"

"If you keep shouting, some little creatures will really like it."

The woman trembled violently, biting her lip to stifle any sound.

She thought that returning to the brothel where she lived would allow her to escape, but she never expected that she would be watched from all sides.

Every time I escape, one more person enters the house.

It meant I was back to my old profession, but this was even more grueling than before. All night long, I don't know how many people...

They brought me here again during the day and used silver needles to prick my body. There was no bleeding, but the flesh inside my body hurt when I moved it.

After the acupuncture, I soaked myself in that wooden tub; the salt water and chili water seeped into my body, creating a burning sensation.

He even gets bitten by a snake; that's insane, a devil.

Now she regrets coming to the palace for wealth and power. If she could turn back time, she would definitely avoid it and would never have provoked this devil.

"Speak, my patience has its limits."
