Zhang You seemed to have guessed what Qiao Er had done.
Qiao Er is not only highly accomplished in medical skills, but also in poison techniques.
Look at her like this.
He probably took a life-saving elixir and was poisoned by a poisonous insect.
She wanted to die, but she couldn't die easily.
"She looks like she's been poisoned."
Zhang You answered Chunhua in a low voice.
"She can't die easily now. She can only be tortured to death slowly."
After listening to this, Chunhua calmed down.
Zhang You thought she was scared.
After all, it's the first time I see this kind of torture, so I'm bound to be scared.
But when Zhang You looked over, he found that there was no fear on Chunhua's face. Her expression was calm, but there was a flash of... Zhang You didn't know if it was a mistake... excitement in her eyes.
Maybe I saw it wrong?
This kind of torturous thing, unless you are a pervert, who would like to watch it?
"What did you just say?"
Qiao Da, who had been silent at first, thought more and more about her words after carefully considering them. He felt something was not right and suddenly stood up with an anxious look on his face.
"I'll go back and take a look."
He left without waiting for Qiao Er and the others to speak.
What she said just now, "They should all be killed," was not groundless.
She must have done something else!
Qiao Si sneered coldly, looking down upon his behavior.
"Qiao Lanyin, you really should take better care of your brother. He's been wasting his time on women instead of doing his job."
Qiao Er seemed to be in the wrong and did not respond. She took a sip of tea slowly.
Qiao Si rolled his eyes and waved at Cui Liu. Cui Liu leaned over to whisper, not knowing what Qiao Si said, and left in a hurry.
Qiao Si turned his attention back to the remaining people.
"What did you do to my cousin? Tell me everything."
"Princess, please spare us. We know we were wrong. We really did do it wrong!"
They kowtowed and begged for mercy, trembling, their foreheads bleeding.
"Tell us everything the princess tells you to do! Otherwise, it won't just be this."
Jingzhu took a few steps forward and threatened them.
They cried so much that their makeup was all smudged off, as if they had no choice but to accept this outcome.
After accepting it, they started to bite each other.
Jingzhu instructed the old woman beside her to retaliate tenfold for what they had done to her cousin.
They were kicked several times and curled up in a ball, screaming in pain.
"You deserve it."
Qiuyue looked at how miserable they were after being beaten and spoke coldly.
Their screams filled my ears.
When Zhang You saw these things now, he felt nothing in his heart.
They really wanted to kill me at that time. If I hadn't been so tenacious, I would have been a corpse long ago.
Although she could be soft-hearted sometimes, these people did not deserve her sympathy.
Qiao Si was right. Since they had done such a thing, they had to be prepared to be retaliated against a thousand times over.
After the old women kicked them, they took out daggers and wanted to do to them what they wanted to do to Qiao Nai.
They screamed and tried to escape, but the strong women grabbed their hair, threw them to the ground, and quickly slashed their delicate faces with daggers.
They wanted to touch the wounds on their faces with trembling hands, but were afraid that it would hurt, so they just traced the wounds lightly and did not dare to touch them.
Seeing them like this, Qiao Si still felt unsatisfied.
She walked over and looked down at their ugly appearance.
"How does it feel to have your appearance, which you've always been proud of, ruined?"
Qiao Si walked up to them and felt very happy when he saw their painful expressions.
She took out the dagger from her bosom, squatted down and threatened them.
"I've always been vindictive. You've injured my cousin and my maid. Tell me, how should I respond?"
A woman knelt in front of her, her blood-stained hands tightly grasping the hem of Qiao Si's skirt, begging for mercy.
"Princess, Princess, please, let me go! This was all instigated by Lan Niang. We were just instigated! Princess... I... I don't ask to live, I just ask you to give me a quick death... Princess... please..."
She knelt there and kowtowed several times.
Qiao Si looked at her expressionlessly as she soiled her dress with her bloody hands. She picked up the dagger and shook it in front of the woman, as if she was thinking about the feasibility.
Suddenly, she laughed, and that smile was a little creepy.
"OK."
Before she finished her words, she grabbed her hair with her left hand and pulled it back, and decisively cut her jugular with her right hand, and blood splattered all over Qiao Si.
And she didn't even blink.
One of the maids around screamed in surprise.
Zhang You didn't expect Qiao Si to be so cruel.
Jingzhu stepped forward in time and carefully wiped Qiao Si clean with a handkerchief.
The rest of the people kneeling on the ground were so frightened that they forgot to cry out in pain.
Qiao Si glanced at them and they huddled together, not daring to speak.
Although they had witnessed Qiao Si's methods, when people face life and death, they will always subconsciously seek survival, as if only at this moment they realized the good of being alive.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Qiao Si waved at those fierce old women.
"Since you don't want to choose, then I'll have to choose for you.
Pull him down and show Master Chen the torture instruments of our Prince Qiao's Mansion."
Qiao Sijiao smiled as she watched them being dragged away.
"Has our princess always been such a decisive person? This kind of method, this speed at killing people with a knife, must be from a martial arts family, right?"
There was a hint of admiration in Qiuyue's tone.
"That's right. The princess has been practicing martial arts with the prince since she was young. Her skills are quite impressive."
Dongmei crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Qiao Si with a proud expression.
"Then what will happen to them when they are taken away?"
Chunhua also joined the conversation.
The three of them quietly moved to Dongmei's side to gossip.
"It's nothing more than the old three: poison, whipping, and branding."
"Are these scary? It doesn't sound like they can intimidate that bastard official."
Qiuyue thought about the severity of these punishments and felt that it would be difficult to intimidate others.
"No. The poison was specially made by the Second Young Lady. As the poison waxes and wanes, there will always be someone in the group who experiences the most poisonous moment. And then there's the flogging. The whips are soaked in poisonous water and covered with tiny barbs, ensuring that every lash leaves them wanting to live or die. As for the branding, it's nothing special. After the branding is done, a basin of poisonous water is poured over the wound, making them feel as if ants are biting at the wound at all times.
These kinds of injuries were long and painful for them, and in the end, they all died from these injuries, without exception.
Of the spies and assassins we captured previously, few could endure the pain and confessed, except for a few stubborn ones. This is the hallmark of our Prince Qiao's Mansion."
