As for the palace maid begging for mercy, although Su Lijin was kind-hearted, she did not have such compassion as to help someone who wanted to kill her.
The eunuch used the torture instruments in turn, and by the third hour, the palace maid was almost dying.
"Assassinating the Empress is a serious crime. It's useless to ask anyone for help. Confess quickly, and you'll have a good ending!"
