Tang Wan was escorted all the way and when she arrived, she was directly locked up in the worst cell.
There was still some water on her body, which was now dripping all over the floor. The cell was wet and cold, and her cloak was taken away. She hugged her arms and shivered.
About an incense stick of time later, two young eunuchs opened the door and came in. Tang Wan's hands and feet were tied up. With a "clang", the iron door was opened.
The two eunuchs had pointed cheeks and shifty eyes. One was tall and thin, the other short and fat.
"Xiaobai, give me a painkiller."
"Okay, host baby."
A sweet taste spread in her mouth, and the tension in her heart eased a lot.
She was blindfolded by two eunuchs and taken to a dark little room. Although her sense of pain was blocked, she still retained her sense of touch.
She screamed as if she couldn't bear the feeling of the cold iron needle piercing her nails.
She heard someone laugh grimly, and then something cold pressed against her arm. She knew it was a knife, a very fast knife.
Because she heard the sound of her flesh being cut, and blood dripping down her arm to the ground, it looked particularly creepy.
The tall and thin eunuch felt extremely happy when he saw her in pain. He was an imperfect person. It was okay at the beginning. He entered the palace when he was young and did not feel any different from other people.
But as he gradually felt the gap, his heart became darker and darker. Why? Why couldn't he be a real man?
So, he gradually developed a habit of torturing healthy women. He thought that even if it was not humane, he would torture the women severely and let them die in excruciating pain.
Tang Wan's face was pale, all blood drained away, like a lifeless piece of paper. Her body, tied to the chair, was ice-cold, and even her breathing became weak.
The tall and thin eunuch was not satisfied. He had not seen such a beautiful person for a long time. He must torture her well. He couldn't let her die so soon.
He casually poured some wine on her body as a disinfectant. Tang Wan had already pretended to faint. After all, it was very painful to keep pretending.
"Tingzi, if we play her to death like this, will there be any problem?"
The tall and thin eunuch sneered and slapped the short and fat eunuch on the head: "She? Who is she? She was sent in by the Imperial Concubine. Do you think she still has a chance to get out?"
A gleam of light flashed across the short and fat eunuch's eyes, and then he burst into laughter: "But don't waste her beautiful skin. How beautiful it would be to make a human skin painting!"
The tall and thin eunuch gave him a meaningful look and said, "You know a lot."
"That's not true, Tingzi. After all, I've been with you for so many years, and I know what you like best."
When Tang Wan was sent back to the cell, she had developed a high fever due to wound infection and cold wind. She could not feel any pain, but only felt very hot all over and very thirsty.
"Host, hold on, don't sleep!" Xiaobai was so anxious that tears were about to come out.
"Xiaobai, I'm thirsty and I want to drink water." Tang Wan's lips were covered with layers of dead skin due to the high fever. The wounds on her body were only hastily treated, and the gauze was oozing blood.
Xiaobai licked her hand and meowed, as if talking to someone, but soon, it walked dejectedly to Tang Wan's side: "I'm sorry, baby, the Lord God said I can't give you water. I'm really sorry."
Tang Wan's voice was hoarse and raspy, but she forced herself to force a smile: "Be good, I don't blame you, this is my own choice." Only in this way could she arouse the emperor's guilt towards her, and her plan would be able to continue to be implemented.
Tang Wan was tortured for three whole days. Except for her face, there was almost no good flesh on her body. It was covered with scratches of all sizes. She lost a lot of weight and seemed like she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
On the fourth day, Xuanyuan Che suddenly came back, catching everyone off guard. When he came back, the air pressure around him was terribly low and his face was extremely gloomy.
He should have taken her out. Without her around, he couldn't sleep well these past few days, had a headache, and was very depressed. He couldn't stand everyone.
So as soon as he returned to the palace, he went straight to his bedroom, intending to "suck Wan to prolong his life". The imperial concubine did not get the news in advance and did not even have time to prepare.
Xuanyuan Che didn't see anyone in the bedroom, and his chest heaved even more violently. He grabbed someone and asked, "Where is the person living here?"
The maid knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. I didn't know."
At this time, a pretty girl ran up and knelt before him: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you and ask you to make the decision for me."
Chuntao knelt on the ground and begged, her whole body trembling, afraid that the tyrant would kill her if he was unhappy. But for Tang Wan, she had no other choice. Tang Wan was arrested because of her, and she could not just sit back and watch.
She couldn't enter the Ministry of Punishment, and kneeling on the ground and kowtowing was useless. She could only worry. There was no one in this palace who could help her, and now, Xuanyuan Che was her life-saving straw.
She was gambling, betting whether Xuanyuan Che would care about this maid who had served him for several months.
Fortunately, she won the bet.
"Where is she?!" Xuanyuan Che's eyes were bloodshot, and he was obviously on the verge of exploding.
"Your Majesty, the young lady has been tortured by the Imperial Concubine's men for three whole days in the Ministry of Punishment." Chun Tao answered him, with a hint of tears in her voice.
Xuanyuan Che didn't have time to change his clothes. He picked up his sword and rushed to the Ministry of Punishment. He knew the torture methods those people used, and he didn't dare to imagine what she looked like now.
Didn't he tell her to stay in the palace? Why was she so disobedient? Why wouldn't she listen? Why didn't she wait for him to come back?
He ran all the way, his clothes fluttering and his hair was messy, but he didn't care at all, he was afraid that he would be a step slower.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Ministry of Punishment, Xuanyuan Che pointed his sword directly at the chief steward and asked, "Where is the woman who was brought here three days ago?"
Xuanyuan Che was in a bad mood. His legs were shaking uncontrollably. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, your servant, don't know." He really didn't lie. There were so many disobedient palace maids sent by the Ministry of Punishment every day that he really couldn't remember them all.
Xuanyuan Che didn't waste time talking to him and cut off his hat with a sword. The sword was very sharp and instantly shaved off most of his hair.
The steward subconsciously touched his head, his back felt cold, and a fishy liquid flowed down from his crotch.
Xuanyuan Che gave him a disgusted look and said, "Where is she? If you can't tell me, the next time it's your hair that's broken, it won't be your hair."
The steward crawled to his men and said, "Quick, go check which cell the woman His Majesty wanted was in three days ago. Quick!"
The young eunuch smelled the scent on him and was shocked, but he still ran quickly to flip through the book.
