A supervisor squatted down and took out the cloth ball stuffed in Chuqiu's mouth. <>
"ah--"
Chuqiu's screams echoed throughout the entire dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment.
Xianzong took several steps back because of the deafening scream. To Xianzong, the sound was not that of a human being at all.
Master Chengguan squatted down and lifted Chuqiu's chin with his hand.
Chu Qiu screamed with her mouth wide open. The muscles on her face moved, and the wound that had already clotted with blood burst open again, and blood flowed all over Master Chengguan's hand.
"All of you retreat," Xianzong ordered everyone.
The supervisor led everyone out.
Xianzong squatted beside Master Chengguan and asked in a low voice: "Is she a medicine man?"
Master Chengguan stroked Chuqiu's left cheek with his finger.
Xianzong stared in amazement as a piece of meat fell off Chuqiu's face.
Master Chengguan sighed and said, "What a sin."
"What, what crime?" Xianzong covered his mouth and nose with his handkerchief again. He was fainting from blood!
Master Chengguan said, "Mo Wen gave her medicine."
Xianzong jumped, but he didn't abandon the imperial teacher. However, his hand shook and the handkerchief fell to the ground. The emperor stared at the imperial teacher with wide eyes and said, "She, she is really a medicine man? I, I have slept with a medicine man?!"
These words were truly hurtful to National Master Chengguan.
Seeing that Master Chengguan didn't say anything, Emperor Xianzong covered his mouth and said, "I'll find a place to vomit." After sleeping with the medicine man, would he also become a medicine man? Emperor Xianzong was in a bad mood at this moment.
When Master Chengguan saw Emperor Xianzong trembling as he stood up to leave, he said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. She is not a drug addict."
Xianzong breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he could live again.
"She is doing errands for Mo Wen," Imperial Master Chengguan stood up, took a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his hands, and said to Emperor Xianzong, "Mo Wen will make sure this woman won't betray him."
"Poison?" asked Xianzong.
Master Chengguan said: “You can say that.”
"What should we do then?"
"This woman is of no use now," Imperial Master Chengguan threw the bloodstained towel to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, it's up to you to decide whether to kill her or keep her."
"What do you mean by useless?" Xianzong said, "Linglong also said to keep her so that she can identify Mo Wen."
Master Chengguan smiled and said, "Without medicine, this woman will suffer terribly until she dies from self-mutilation. These ropes will not be able to bind her in the end."
"The antidote..."
"Your Majesty, do you still want to find an antidote for Qiu?" Imperial Master Chengguan asked Emperor Xianzong before he could finish his words.
"No," Xianzong quickly denied. He saved this woman? Then who could save him from his daughter?
"She is seeking death. There is no hope for her." Imperial Master Chengguan looked down at Chu Qiu and said, "Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible. If you don't want her to suffer any more, execute her as soon as possible."
"Gululu," Xianzong swallowed his saliva. Is this the so-called mercy of Buddha? Or are the people from the Eternal Life Temple all equally cruel?
At this time, Chuqiu hit his head against the wall.
Xianzong was shocked again.
Because his limbs were tied, Chu Qiu couldn't use much strength when he hit the wall, so he didn't die against the wall. But after his face touched the wall, Chu Qiu rubbed his face against the wall.
Master Chengguan just touched lightly and the flesh on Chuqiu's face fell down. With such a strong rub, minced flesh piled up under the wall in an instant.
"She," Xianzong pointed at Chu Qiu and was speechless.
"Perhaps her face is itchy right now," said Master Chengguan. "Your Majesty, don't you see that she feels very comfortable right now?"
This woman screamed so loudly that the dungeon roof was about to be blown off, but she still felt very comfortable? Emperor Xianzong looked at Master Chengguan and asked, "Master, are you okay?"
Imperial Master Chengguan said, "Your Majesty is really going to be an enemy of Mo Wen?"
Xianzong said: "Is it possible for me to reconcile with Mo Wen now?"
Master Chengguan nodded, turned and walked out of the dungeon.
"What does this mean, Imperial Master?" asked Emperor Xianzong.
Amidst Chuqiu's continuous screams, Imperial Master Chengguan couldn't speak in a low voice, so he said loudly to Emperor Xianzong: "I am just a little worried."
Xianzong..., was he suspected and despised by the national teacher?
"Your Majesty does not want Qiu to die now, so let's go," Imperial Master Chengguan said to Emperor Xianzong, "Qiu has no medicine, she won't live long."
Xianzong turned around and looked at Chuqiu again. Chuqiu's face was already covered with white bones and looked hideous. Looking at this face, Xianzong suddenly couldn't remember what this woman looked like when he first met her.
"Your Majesty!" Amidst the shrill screams, Zhao Qiu Ming's voice came from a prison cell not far away.
When Emperor Xianzong heard Zhao Qiu Ming's voice, his face suddenly darkened.
"Your Majesty," Zhao Qiu Ming shouted in the cell, "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to do this, Your Majesty!"
When Imperial Master Chengguan saw that Emperor Xianzong was standing still, he advised, "Your Majesty, let's get out. Zhao Qiu Ming is no longer trustworthy."
"Your Majesty," Zhao Qiu Ming said, "If Mo Wen threatens the princess's life, what will Your Majesty do?"
Xianzong walked to the cell where Zhao Qiuming was imprisoned and asked coldly, "Is Mo Wen a match for Linglong?"
"Your Majesty," the sound of Zhao Qiu Ming banging his head against the ground was heard from the prison cell. Prime Minister Zhao choked up and said, "I only hope Your Majesty can understand my situation. I deserve death and dare not ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness. I only hope Your Majesty will not implicate my clan members."
Xianzong snorted and laughed, saying, "When you started the rebellion, I'm afraid you never thought of letting my people go, right?"
Zhao Qiumin kowtowed repeatedly in the cell and stopped talking.
"I'm not asking for anything," Xianzong said, "Linglong also interceded for you, saying that this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Beicheng and your daughter, so this time I won't kill all your clans."
"I, the guilty subject, thank the emperor and the princess," another sound of a forehead hitting the ground was heard from the cell.
"Alas," Xianzong sighed, "I am blind."
Zhao Qiu Ming's crying could be heard from the cell.
Xianzong turned and walked out. When he passed Chuqiu's cell, he did not even turn his head to look at Chuqiu who was still screaming in pain.
Imperial Master Chengguan followed beside Emperor Xianzong, also speechless.
Seeing that they were almost at the end of this tunnel, Emperor Xianzong suddenly said to Master Chengguan: "I am not as good as Linglong."
"Your Majesty?" Imperial Master Chengguan asked doubtfully.
Xianzong laughed and walked out of the tunnel.
Outside the dungeon, a spring rain came unexpectedly, but the rain was not moist. Although the rain was drizzling, the ground was not wet.
Xianzong stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, looking at the rainy sky for a while, and suddenly pointed at the chief supervisor of the Ministry of Punishment and said, "Catch this slave for me."
Without waiting for the warden to react, two eunuchs stepped forward, twisted the warden's arms, and pressed him to the ground.
The supervisor shouted in panic, "Your Majesty?"
"Zhao Qiuming is now doomed to die, yet you are still willing to work for him," Xianzong looked at the supervisor calmly and said, "It seems that you are loyal to him."
