Chapter 237 Lingchi
"Mammy..."
When Zhaopin passed by Madam Kong, she struggled desperately to throw herself into Madam Kong's arms. Madam Kong stretched out her hand, and their fingertips brushed lightly, and then they moved further and further apart.
Looking at the struggling back of Madam Kong and Concubine Zhao, she seemed to see the little girl who staggered into her arms when she was learning to walk.
This "daughter" whom she had protected for twenty years could no longer be protected by her.
"My Lady... please don't be so willful anymore. When I'm not by your side, you must protect yourself."
"No...Mammy...Mammy..." Zhaopin's crying voice was getting farther and farther away. Mammy Kong's tears were pouring down, but a sad smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Her life was worth it.
The only regret is that I couldn’t see Concubine Zhao happy.
After Zhaopin's voice completely faded, Xiao Heng looked at Su Nanqing and said, "Jieyu Rou, Madam Kong is now yours to handle. As long as you can relieve your anger, that's enough."
Su Nanqing felt extremely desolate, was he relieved?
How could she feel relieved that Zhaopin was still able to stay in Yaohua Palace unharmed?
She took a deep breath, that's all...
Men are unreliable after all. She wants to take revenge on Zhaopin herself, torturing her bit by bit and letting her taste the pain she had suffered in the past.
After thinking for a moment, Su Nanqing raised her head and said word by word: "I want to deal with Madam Kong——"
"Lingchi punishment."
As soon as the words came out, Zhou Defu couldn't help but hold his breath, and raised his eyes to quickly look at Su Nanqing.
Lingchi is an extremely cruel form of punishment, also known as cutting into pieces.
During the execution, the executioner would use a sharp knife to cut off the prisoner's flesh piece by piece.
Thousands of cuts were made all over the body, and it took three days to complete the process.
So the prisoners could only die slowly in extreme pain.
Zhou Defu breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, the hatred for his mother's murder and the pain of his son's death could not be relieved by a thousand or even ten thousand cuts.
Xiao Heng was not surprised and said calmly: "Accurate!"
Su Nanqing turned to look at Madam Kong. Until this moment, there was no regret on her face. She calmly followed the palace servants out of the inner hall, as if no torture was waiting for her.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at Liang Shan who was kneeling on the ground. Liang Shan was trembling all over. When he met Su Nanqing's cold gaze, he was so scared that his soul flew away. He kowtowed and said, "I am not the mastermind. I was forced by Madam Kong. My lady, please spare my life, my lady, please spare my life..."
Su Nanqing's laughter escaped from her throat, with a chilling shiver.
"She's just a palace maid. If you refuse to obey even at death, how can she force you?"
"Since you have shown remorse and confessed the truth, I will punish you with thirty strokes of the cane and send you to the menial labor department as a hard laborer."
Although Liang Shan was terrified of the thirty strokes of the cane, at least he had saved his life. He kowtowed and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your mercy. Thank you, my lord, for your mercy."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Defu nodded slowly: It seems that this Miss Rou is still kind.
After returning to Yufu Palace, Su Nanqing picked up the chestnut flour cake from the plate and slowly put it into her mouth.
The sweetness spread on her tongue, but it was so bitter that it made her eyes hot.
"Auntie, the chestnut flour cake you make is the most delicious in this world."
"It's a pity that my daughter can no longer eat it..."
Before she finished speaking, her tears rolled down uncontrollably, dripping onto the chestnut flour cake, leaving a smudge.
She took big bites and swallowed them along with her tears.
"Auntie, did you see that? The person who killed you has gotten his comeuppance."
"As for the rest... my daughter will not let them have an easy time either."
"When my daughter has avenged you, I will go down to accompany you and Bai'er."
She lived alone in the Nine-Layered Palace and had long been a walking corpse.
The reason why I was able to hold on for so long was just for revenge.
After her great revenge was achieved, she would go to see her aunt and Bai'er with a three-foot-long white silk.
At this time, Taxue came in from outside, "My lord... Liangshan has been sent to the menial service department."
Su Nanqing was still eating the chestnut flour cake and said slowly, "Ask the steward of the miscellaneous affairs department to take good care of it!"
Taxue was slightly stunned, then she understood: "Yes, I will take care of it right away."
Su Nanqing picked up another piece of chestnut flour cake and put it into her mouth, her eyes suddenly darkening.
Of course it was impossible for her to forgive Liang Shan so easily.
No matter if it was the culprit or the accomplice, she would never show mercy.
The reason why she punished Liang Shan lightly in front of the emperor was that she didn't want the emperor to think that she had become cold-blooded and heartless.
In places like the menial services department, palace maids and eunuchs died every day.
Liang Shan was not a concubine, but just a eunuch. Even if he died, no one would investigate.
After finishing a piece of cake, Su Nanqing slowly wiped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, "I want to go and see Madam Kong being tortured in person!"
She slowly stood up and said, "I want to hear her miserable screams with my own ears."
"Watching her flesh being cut off piece by piece like a piece of cake..."
Thinking of that tragic scene, Su Nanqing raised her red lips coldly: "So beautiful!"
“What a beautiful view…”
Yaohua Palace
Zhaopin kept pounding on the gate of Yaohua Palace, and no matter how she knelt and begged for mercy, the gate never opened.
She collapsed to the ground only when she felt completely exhausted and felt a tearing pain all over her body.
She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly and cried out in pain, "Mammy...Mammy..."
The palace maid hurriedly supported her: "Your Majesty... please don't be uncomfortable, take care of yourself."
Zhaopin was inconsolable, and the severe pain spread from her heart to her limbs, as if her whole body was cut into pieces by thousands of knives, and she was twitching in pain.
That's it! The punishment of slow slicing!
The pain Mammy suffered was a hundred times, a thousand times, hers!
Why! Why did God do this to her?
Why take away everyone around her?
She had been in the palace for many years and had been able to live in peace thanks to the protection of the nanny.
It was she who accompanied him through this cold palace.
It was also she who time and again saw through the concubines' tricks to frame her.
What would I do without her?
How can I survive alone?
Qinzheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao is heartbroken and has fainted. The palace maids have sent a guard to tell you to go see her."
The pen in Xiao Heng's hand paused, "Since she's fainted, let's ask a doctor to come over."
"From now on, as long as it doesn't endanger Concubine Zhao's life, there is no need to report to me."
Zhou Defu quickly responded: "Yes, I obey your command."
