"Are you the one who beat Caixia like that?" The questioning voice made people feel like they were falling into an ice cave. Although Caidie was blindfolded and her mouth was blocked, she could hear that the person who spoke was Jiang Ziyi.
“Mmmmm…Mmmmm…”
She wanted to open her mouth to argue, but her mouth was blocked tightly with cloth and she couldn't utter a single word.
"Clang." The sound of broken porcelain was heard in the room.
As the footsteps got closer, Caidie felt something cold touching her face.
At the same time, Jiang Ziyi's cold voice rang in her ears again, "I happened to be bored today, so I wanted to see how long it would take for someone to bleed to death if I cut them open."
There was no emotion in the voice, and although what was said was creepy, the brisk tone made it sound like they were discussing something normal.
When she heard the word "cut", Caidie realized that what was sticking to her face might be the fragments of porcelain that had just been broken.
Jiang Ziyi was being tortured by a piece of cold porcelain, patting the exposed skin on her body.
First her face, then her neck, and then around to her back, sliding the smooth side of the porcelain back and forth on her wrist, again and again, as if teasing her.
The cold touch and her rhythmic movements all revealed a threat.
Caidie's body was covered with goose bumps. Finally, the fear of death by bloodletting made her collapse. She tried desperately to break free from the rope that bound her, but no matter how she struggled, the knot on the rope did not loosen at all. The rope was even too tight, leaving marks on her body.
After all, it was tied by Ah Xin himself according to the unified training standards of the secret guards. It is very firm and impossible to break free.
Because Caidie's reaction was too intense, the stool was knocked over by her. She fell to the ground in a mess with the stool, still struggling because of the instinct for survival. At this moment, she looked like a caterpillar wriggling on the ground.
Jiang Ziyi looked at her without any sympathy in her heart.
Ah Xin and Ah Qing are even more accustomed to this.
Jiang Ziyi: "Help her up."
Hearing Jiang Ziyi speak, Ah Xin hurriedly helped Cai Die up from the ground. She and Ah Qing only tied the person back. They didn't know what Jiang Ziyi was actually going to do. However, they felt that even if Jiang Ziyi really killed the palace maid today, based on their understanding of His Majesty after following him for many years, His Majesty would not say anything.
After they straightened the chairs, Jiang Ziyi brought a wooden barrel and placed it under Caidie's hand.
Before Caidie could sit up and catch her breath, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her wrist.
"Ugh!!!" But her mouth was blocked and she couldn't shout.
Then, she felt a warm current on her wrist.
"I advise you not to move. The more you move, the faster you'll bleed."
"The faster it flows..."
Jiang Ziyi paused for a moment with a malicious look before uttering that devilish whisper, "The sooner you die."
Caidie, who wanted to struggle, was instantly frozen by these words. She broke out in a cold sweat. She could feel a trickle of warmth on her wrist and the sound of blood dripping into the wooden barrel behind her, "Tick...tick...tick..."
It was like the countdown of her life. Because she was afraid that the blood would drip faster, Caidie really didn't dare to struggle anymore.
This action shocked Ah Xin and Ah Qing a little bit. They witnessed the whole process beside Jiang Ziyi.
Jiang Ziyi did not use the porcelain fragments to cut Caidie's wrist, but instead rubbed it hard with a folded sandpaper, which only caused her severe pain but did not cause any actual bleeding wound.
Then they saw Jiang Ziyi pour warm water into the small device that she had prepared in the room earlier. The water slowly flowed down from the wrists of the tied person and dripped into the wooden barrel behind him, simulating the sound of blood dripping in.
Coupled with her words, the palace maid actually believed it, and believed it completely. She was struggling with a flushed face, but after hearing Jiang Ziyi's words, she was frightened to the point of turning pale and losing all color.
Ah Xin and Ah Qing both admired Jiang Ziyi at this moment. No injury was better than injury. As long as the sound of water did not stop, the prisoners' psychological fear would continue to grow. It was hard to say what would happen next.
Caidie listened to the dripping sound of the wooden barrel behind her and felt a little dizzy. In her imagination, each sound was the sound of her blood dripping. At this moment, her heart was filled with fear, regret, and despair, which mixed together and expanded infinitely in her heart. She wanted to scream, but no sound could come out. She remembered that she had comforted Caiwei a few days ago. How could she be so sure that Jiang Ziyi would not kill her? How could she dare to believe that Concubine Duan would save her? She felt that she was stupider than a pig...
"Aqing, you watch her here. Axin, come out with me." After Jiang Ziyi arranged Caidie, she was ready to go outside to welcome the show to begin. Caiwei, the bait, should finally play some role.
Although Ah Qing also wanted to go out and join in the fun, Jiang Ziyi had given the order, so she had no choice but to obey.
Ah Xin is a little more stable than Ah Qing. Jiang Ziyi can predict what might happen next, so for her own safety, she chooses to let Ah Xin stay with her.
As expected, not long after they came out of the room, Concubine Duan brought a group of people and rushed into the palace regardless of any obstruction. They came in with a fierce momentum and looked very difficult to deal with.
