Not only did the palace maid not understand what she was saying, but Shang Xiye and Hei Xiao beside her were also completely baffled.

"Don't understand? Then open your dog eyes and take a good look."

Ji Fengyao's wicked smile was terrifying to the palace maid in the lotus-skirted dress. She slowly reached out and pinched the silver needle on the maid's head, injected a little spiritual power, and pulled it upwards with force.

As she lifted her up, the maid in the pink dress screamed in pain, her voice distorted, yet her body remained completely still despite not having been acupunctured. Due to prolonged shortness of breath, the maid's face had turned purplish-red, her features contorted in a terrifying expression.

Not long after, the people present were astonished to find that a tiny, transparent figure seemed to have been pulled out from under the silver needle that Ji Fengyao had raised.

The figure of that little person vaguely resembled a palace maid in a pink dress!

At this moment, the palace maid in the pink dress was bleeding from all seven orifices, screaming in agony. Only her extremely conflicted expression and pained eyes silently conveyed to everyone the fact that she was in great pain.

What kind of bizarre torture method is this? It's terrifying!

The palace maid in the lotus-colored skirt was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, staring blankly as Ji Fengyao pulled out the soul of the palace maid in the pink skirt and put it back. She was completely terrified.

The Ninth Prince is a terrifying demon, but the Ninth Princess is the real devil!

Ji Fengyao pressed the soul of the palace maid in the pink dress back into place. The little bit of spiritual power she had accumulated last night was almost completely exhausted, and she felt weak all over. However, she endured it without showing it, and her eyes held a cold smile as she pressed the palace maid in the lotus dress.

"Have you thought it through? Do you want to confess and die a quick and painless death, or do you want to continue to cover up and protect the mastermind, have your soul sealed by me, and become a living dead, watching your body rot away day by day, powerless to do anything about it?" Ji Fengyao smiled innocently, as if she had just remembered something halfway through: "Oh, right, after three days of becoming a living dead, you will lose your mind and will follow your instincts to attack the people you are closest to and trust the most. Moreover, ordinary people don't know how to kill you, and the people you attack will most likely die as well."

"Ninth Princess, spare me! Ninth Princess, spare me! I'll tell you everything! Please, Ninth Princess, spare my life!" The palace maid in the lotus skirt was terrified and knelt on the ground, crying and kowtowing desperately.

She never knew that there was such a terrifying person as Ji Fengyao in this world, and such terrible methods of torture.

Ji Fengyao's eyes remained icy cold and unmoved, her clear voice filled with rage: "You have no room for bargaining. Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, but you not only killed them but also cooked their bodies, all for the sake of eliminating an unborn child. Your actions have crossed my bottom line. You and those behind you do not deserve to live!"

"I don't necessarily need to hear your answer verbally. I can also search your soul and find the answer within it myself. However, if I do that, you will suffer a hundred or a thousand times more pain than she did."

Ji Fengyao stood up and stood in front of the palace maid in the lotus skirt, looking down at her, almost growling, "I'm giving you one last chance, speak or not?!"

"It was Consort Qin! It was Consort Qin who made us do this!" The palace maid in the lotus skirt lay on the ground, trembling and crying loudly.

Consort Qin?

Ji Fengyao turned to look at Shang Xiye, a hint of coldness still lingering in her eyes: "Does Your Highness believe me?"

Shang Xiye secretly rubbed his forehead, feeling extremely annoyed: He had lost his mind back then, why did he protect such a vicious thing as Qin Weiyang? Did he really treat that woman in her early twenties as his mother?
