Chapter 48 A Taste of the Heart
Cai Shaotan's ferocious face makes people feel terrified and disgusted.
Yu Chenguang's thick palm, like a cattail leaf fan, slapped forward.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh, you still can laugh? If I were you, I would have hanged myself with a rope a long time ago, you shameless thing!"
After two consecutive slaps, Cai Shaotan's face was twisted.
But it is indeed useful. No matter how much hatred or anger you feel in your heart, you can still put on a humble and submissive appearance.
Jinghan didn't care to pay attention.
[What should we do, system? What if that girl doesn't make it off the bed of nails alive? Cai Shaotan will be so happy!]
Jing Chengji just smiled slightly, saying everything without saying a word.
I told the Queen Mother I was going to take a shit, and then I went outside the palace to get that girl through the backdoor?!
Jing Chengji's smile froze and he took a deep breath...half a breath.
I always feel like she took a breath of smelly gas.
This is a meaningful statement from the heart.
“Eh~”
The entire court was in a state of half-smile and half-crying mood, feeling that they would never be able to look Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess in the eye again.
When they saw her, they thought of that thing, which was really indescribable.
...........
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
The chief eunuch followed Jing Chengji's order and hurried to the palace gate.
Then I heard a guard say.
"You know that filing a complaint with the emperor requires a nail bed, but you still insist on filing a complaint?"
The woman's voice was resounding and firm as iron.
"I will persevere to the end!"
The guard looked reluctant, but she had tried to persuade the lady several times, but she still insisted, so she had no choice but to give up.
She was about to go into the palace to report to His Majesty, but when she turned around, she saw His Majesty's chief eunuch behind her.
"Meet the father-in-law!"
The chief eunuch looked at the people gradually gathering around the girl.
He waved his hand, called the guard aside, and whispered an order.
The guard's eyes widened at first, and then his brows showed joy.
"Father-in-law, leave it to me!"
The chief eunuch said loudly.
"Your Majesty has granted your permission to file a complaint."
The girl was so surprised that she knelt down quickly.
"I, Cai Mingyue, thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, gentlemen!"
The people around were like being ignited by a ball of fire, and were instantly in an uproar.
"It's over. This girl is so stubborn. She can't even get past the first step of filing a complaint. Isn't it better to just live a good life?"
"What injustice did she suffer that she dared not fear death and came to file a complaint with the emperor?"
"I don't know, but it must be a huge injustice, otherwise he wouldn't risk his life to file a complaint with the emperor."
Some people disagreed, while others agreed.
But without exception, their faces were filled with admiration for the girl.
No matter how the people talked about it, she was taken to the place where the nails were rolled.
In the dimly lit room, the first thing you see is a wooden bed that is one and a half meters wide and two meters long, with densely packed nails at least an inch long nailed on it.
There were still a lot of rust on the long nail, but if you look closely, it is not rust at all, but the dark red color left after the bright red blood coagulated.
Combined with the somewhat eerie houses, it looks extremely creepy.
The eunuch warned again.
"Cai Mingyue, you know you might not be able to get off the bed of nails alive. You have to roll back and forth ten times! Don't regret it once you get on the bed of nails."
Cai Mingyue said firmly.
"I have no regrets. I have lived to this day just for revenge!"
The eunuch nodded.
Although he felt extremely reluctant, filing a complaint with the emperor was a step that could not be avoided as a commoner.
But even though it cannot be omitted, it does not mean there is no solution.
Cai Mingyue was ready to die, and she walked decisively to the nail bed.
She gritted her teeth and could still vaguely see the cold light flashing on the iron nail.
Cai Mingyue closed her eyes and lay on the bed of nails.
In an instant, there were several "chi~chi~" sounds, which were the sounds of iron nails piercing through clothes and piercing into flesh.
The eunuch and the guard both shuddered suddenly.
But Cai Mingyue didn't say a word, as if she was unaware of anything.
She paused for a moment and then started rolling.
As she rolled, the sound of iron nails biting into her flesh could be heard echoing in the small dark room.
Cai Mingyue's lips were bitten by herself and bleeding.
The eunuchs and guards couldn't bear to watch anymore.
But I have to keep an eye on it.
Just after Cai Mingyue rolled back and forth three times, it seemed to the eunuch as a century had passed.
He quickly called a halt.
"Okay, help her up."
"Yes, father-in-law."
As the two guards helped Cai Mingyue up from the bed of nails, they heard several "squeaking" sounds of nails being pulled out. Their skin felt a dull pain, as if the nails were being pulled out from their bodies.
Cai Mingyue gasped in pain.
She could feel that her whole body was covered with small holes, and blood was trickling out of those holes.
Cai Mingyue's clothes were stained with blood. She was originally wearing a gray linen, but now, those who didn't know would think that Cai Mingyue was wearing a maroon dress.
His sallow face was extremely pale.
She endured the pain and said, "Father, I haven't fulfilled my request yet."
The chief eunuch said with a smile.
"How come it's not finished? I clearly counted ten rounds."
"Yes, Miss Cai, we are all counting!"
Cai Mingyue didn't cry when she rolled on the nail bed just now, but now, she couldn't help it. Her nose felt sore and two lines of hot tears rolled down.
She fell to her knees.
"I, Cai Mingyue, thank you, my Lords. If I can survive, I will work like a slave to repay your kindness."
"Please stand up quickly. We are only entrusted by His Majesty and are acting according to the rules. How can we be grateful to him?"
"Yes, Cai Mingyue understands."
Cai Mingyue understood what the eunuch said, and she felt a little more confident in bringing Cai Shaotan down.
No matter what, she would seek redemption for her mother and father.
In order to avoid being gossiped about, Cai Mingyue had to walk from the palace gate to the Golden Throne Hall by herself.
As soon as Cai Mingyue came out of the place where the nail rolling machine was made, the onlookers gasped.
Cai Mingyue was like a bloody man, with blood flowing out with every step he took.
"Oh, this girl can still walk to His Majesty alive."
"I think it's difficult. I've lived for decades, and I've only seen one person walk out of that bed of nails alive."
"Oh, I wonder how much injustice this girl has suffered."
"I hope Your Majesty can clear her name."
All the onlookers prayed, hoping that Cai Mingyue could successfully clear the grievances in her heart.
With every step Cai Mingyue took, her feet were covered in blood.
It's really heartbreaking.
Even after Cai Mingyue entered the palace, the people still did not disperse for a long time.
They are waiting too!
..........
"Your Majesty, a girl named Cai Mingyue rolled on a bed of nails and wants to sue Master Cai Shaotan. She is waiting outside the palace now!"
