Wu Baolin tried to argue, but the Empress angrily said, "Cover her mouth and drag her out!"
Anyway, it'll be hard for him to be favored again in the future.
Shu Chengfeng stood up: "Let's call it a day."
Yan Nan returned to Zhaochun Palace and said, "Shuanzi, go find a pair of scissors and prepare a pair of pliers. Call your soldiers and have them come with me to Linhua Palace."
"Yes!" Shuanzi replied.
Soon, Shuanzi, along with Sanqi, Kongqing, Huangbai, and Huaijiao, returned to Linhua Palace with Yan Nan.
The wild geese returning south carried with them sandalwood, daphne, white peony, and lily.
Upon seeing this display of power, Ding Liangren's legs trembled: "Greetings, Consort Yan."
"Ding Liangren, guard the gate well," Yan Nangui said.
"Yes," Ding Liangren replied, and went to call someone to guard the door.
Because Ling'er had been arrested and interrogated, Wu Baolin was extremely anxious. When he saw Yan Nangui, he hurriedly came out to pay his respects.
He said nervously, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. How could I dare to harm you? It must have been that girl Ling'er who acted on her own."
Yan Nangui stood there and said, "It's spacious outside. Wu Baolin, won't you bring me a chair?"
"Yes, it was my oversight," she said, quickly ordering someone to bring a chair.
Yan Nangui sat down and said, "Shuanzi, cut off her tongue for me."
Shuanzi responded, and before Wu Baolin could react, she was pinned down. Her maid tried to step forward, but Bai Wei slapped her across the face: "You idiots! She can't even protect herself, and you're all rushing to your deaths?"
Ding Liangren also said, "Don't move."
"Your Highness, what are you doing? This is execution! Ahh! Let go of me, you dog! Let me go!"
But Shuanzi was incredibly strong. Together with several eunuchs, they pried open her mouth, grabbed her tongue with pliers, and were about to cut her with scissors.
"If you're willing to admit it, I might spare your tongue," Yan Nangui said calmly.
Wu Baolin was terrified.
Seriously, my tongue was pulled out really long by the pliers, and it hurt terribly.
At this moment, she had no doubt that Consort Yan was truly capable of doing such a thing.
Shuanzi then let go, and Wu Baolin's mouth was pulled until it bled.
"I...I..."
"Think it over, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Yan Nangui was too lazy to waste words with her.
"It's...it was me...I was just confused for a moment, jealous of Your Majesty...I...lost my mind, Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty, spare me..." Faced with such a violent person, she really had no energy left to act; it was too terrifying. She had never encountered such a bloody scene before.
"Oh? Is that the truth?" Yan Nangui leaned forward and asked with a smile.
"Yes, sob sob, it was my fault for being confused for a moment, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Wu Baolin hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Alright, I always keep my word. I won't cut off your tongue," Yan Nangui said with a smile.
"Lily, go to the Imperial Hospital and get some of the best hemostatic powder. Remember, it has to be the best. The kind that stops bleeding as soon as you fall down. Get a lot of it."
Lily responded and left.
Wu Baolin retreated in terror: "Your Majesty, you...you said you wouldn't...you wouldn't cut off my tongue...you..."
"Don't worry, I mean what I say. You can keep your tongue, but those teeth of yours are a real eyesore to me. Shuanzi, don't rush, pull them out slowly. Don't ruin Wu Baolin's face. As for the teeth..."
Yan Nangui smiled and picked up the teacup in front of him. It was a bowl of tea that Ding Liangren had just had someone bring over and placed on a small table.
Yan Nangui poured out the tea and tea leaves: "Let's fill this little teacup with our teeth. We can't stop until it's full."
"Yes," Shuanzi replied and got to work.
Five eunuchs, and they were all men.
Wu Baolin struggled and screamed, but it was no use.
She was no longer the charming woman she had been in the Imperial Garden; she looked like a complete madwoman.
Looking at the teacup Bai Wei handed him, it was as if he had seen something deadly.
Despite his fear, Shuanzi had already made his move.
The first tooth is the front tooth.
There was a snapping sound; it must have broken off at the root, rather than being pulled out.
Ding Liangren was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he leaned against the wall.
Her maidservant quickly helped her up and supported her.
Wu Baolin screamed in pain, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, and cursed loudly.
But the more she did this, the easier it was for her to get caught and have her teeth pulled again.
When Baihe returned, Wu Baolin was no longer able to call out; he was convulsing in pain.
His mouth was full of blood blisters.
And that small teacup was almost full.
After pulling out another one, Wu Baolin went crazy and tried to bang his head against the wall, but was pulled back.
Ding Liangren's legs were so weak that he could no longer stand.
She thought back to those days, when he had actually gone easy on her.
Finally, the small teacup was filled, and Wu Baolin was forced to swallow a mouthful of medicine. At least the bleeding stopped.
"What kind of kind person am I? If I didn't notice your schemes behind my back, that would be fine. But you had to make a scene in public. It's so ugly to see you all in blood." Yan Nangui stood up and walked up to Wu Baolin.
Wu Baolin was so frightened that he shrank back.
After the tooth extraction stopped, she dared not curse or make a sound.
My head is so painful it's numb.
It hurt so much that she couldn't even faint.
“This time, I think you should remember my personality, right?” Yan Nangui asked.
"Wu Baolin, our lady is asking you a question," Shuanzi reminded him.
“I remember…I remember…” Wu Baolin was in excruciating pain when he spoke.
As soon as it was mentioned, the bleeding started.
Shuanzi then forced a lot of medicine powder into her mouth.
She was left in a completely disheveled state.
"Alright, I'll head back now." Yan Nangui smiled.
Before Ding Liangren could react, her maid pinched her.
"Respectfully seeing off Consort Yan." She had only said one sentence.
Yan Nangui smiled at her.
After the wild geese flew south, Wu Baolin finally relaxed and collapsed to the ground in a daze.
Ding Liangren also felt faint and was helped to sit on the porch.
"I'm really... I've reminded her several times, but she just wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened?" She's lost all her teeth; what future is there?
Guohua was also quite frightened: "Consort Yan is truly ruthless..."
Normally, a master wouldn't ask his own people to do this kind of thing.
They've all been thrown into the torture chamber.
Ding Liangren sighed, "Let's carry her inside. Should we call the imperial physician?"
Only then did Wu Baolin's men dare to make a move, but by then, their morale was wavering.
After all, only Ling'er was brought by Wu Baolin.
The others had only been serving him for a few days. And this guy had already fallen for it.
"We still need to call the imperial physician, otherwise... how can he survive?" Guohua asked cautiously.
"But... if we call the imperial physician, everyone outside will know..."
"They probably know by now. She was yelling so loudly, how could they not hear her outside?" Guohua said.
Sure enough, the Empress sent someone to inquire shortly afterward.
Yan Nangui didn't say anything about not telling anyone, so naturally Ding Liangren did.
Soon, the palace learned of the geese's remarkable feat of returning south.
The imperial physician, of course, still had to be summoned. But even he had never seen a case where only two teeth remained after extractions… how could he possibly treat this condition?
