Jiang Xiancao never thought that she could let others avenge her own revenge.
Shen Yubai also understood her insistence, so he changed his words and said that she could not help in the palace, and he needed her to go to the imperial prison to help him interrogate the Jiang family and get clues about Tianming Pavilion from them.
Jiang Xiancao initially suspected that he just wanted to get her out of the way, but when she heard that Wen Ninghou had been forcing himself not to speak in Zhaoyu, she suddenly became interested.
"Okay, leave it to me."
She agreed and made up her mind that no matter what means she used, she would make this bastard, who was worse than an animal, confess his sins with his own mouth.
After leaving the palace, Jiang Xiancao went straight to the imperial prison.
The imperial prison was heavily guarded by Shen Yubai's confidants. After Jiang Xiancao arrived, she was not allowed in until she showed the token given to her by Shen Yubai.
The men and women of the Jiang family were imprisoned separately, and Wen Ning Hou Jiang Huaizhong was imprisoned alone in the innermost cell.
The jailer took her to Jiang Huaizhong's cell first. Through the iron bars, she saw Jiang Huaizhong kneeling on a pile of weeds with disheveled hair.
"My Lord, I'm here to see you."
She spoke with a smile, watching the man in the cell suddenly raise his head, revealing his haggard and hideous face like a devil.
"You, you actually dare to come!"
Jiang Huaizhong's face and body were covered with scars. It was obvious that he had been tortured and his speech was unclear.
Jiang Xiancao looked at his miserable appearance and laughed heartily:
"It seems you've suffered a lot in the imperial prison!"
Hearing her gloating tone, Jiang Huaizhong suddenly rushed to the iron bars, his shackled hands tightly grasping the iron bars, staring at Jiang Xiancao like a trapped animal in a cage:
"You unfilial daughter, you and your bitch mother will both die a miserable death! I was too kind to you before. I should have thrown you and her into the most despicable brothel and let you and her be ridden by thousands of men from the moment you were born. You only deserve to be humiliated like this..."
Even though he was slurring his words, Jiang Xiancao could still hear his curses clearly from such a close distance. She said to the jailer behind her with a blank expression:
"The Marquis has gone mad again. Drag him to the torture chamber and I'll make him sober up!"
The jailer escorted Jiang Huaizhong to the torture chamber. Jiang Xiancao looked at the torture instruments hanging all over the wall, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "My Lord, you should have tasted all these things during your two days in the imperial prison, right?"
In fact, she was a little surprised that Jiang Huaizhong's will was so strong. He just endured the torture for two days and refused to reveal the secret of Lu Ming Pavilion.
Given Jiang Huaizhong's selfish and cold-hearted nature, he is the kind of person who would find a scapegoat to sink with him if he were to drown in the water. He would never suffer the consequences himself and help others.
Therefore, the reason why he was able to keep the secrets he knew for Tianming Pavilion and the Sun family must be because Tianming Pavilion promised him some benefits in some way, making him believe that as long as he didn't say anything, he still had hope of getting out.
Conversely, in the current situation, the mansion of Marquis Wen Ning has been raided, and the entire family has been imprisoned. The Sun family has completely broken off relations with the royal family. Their conspiracy to rebel is a foregone conclusion for the royal family, and there is no need for any further evidence.
Logically speaking, the Sun family shouldn't care whether Jiang Huaizhong betrays them or not, but they still want Jiang Huaizhong to keep the secret for them -
This means that what Jiang Huaizhong knew was not only evidence that the Sun family was manipulating Tianming Pavilion to secretly plot a rebellion, but also evidence that if revealed, it would cut off their lifeline and would be extremely disadvantageous to the Sun family.
She had to pry open Jiang Huaizhong's mouth.
"Your Majesty has already tasted it, so I will not ask you to taste it again."
Jiang Xiancao ordered the jailer to bring the things she brought from outside the palace into the torture chamber. When Jiang Huaizhong saw what it was, his pupils dilated and his face revealed an unconcealable fear:
"You, you unfilial daughter, what on earth are you going to do?!"
"I just said that I want you to clear your mind."
Jiang Xiancao lit the incense in his hand, slowly approached the chained Jiang Huaizhong, leaned over and whispered in his ear:
"I will return to you all the nightmares you brought to me and my mother."
