Knowing that the empress was going to the Ministry of Punishment, Lou Yan immediately ordered people to clean up.
All the rotten blood stains were washed and wiped dry, flowers were placed to dispel the bloody smell, and all the torture instruments were replaced with new ones.
He even specially set up a shelf in the most conspicuous place, and placed various torture instruments he liked on the side for the empress to choose from.
Unfortunately, Xiao Li didn't judge people. She just came to see the face that looked exactly like her own.
Wen Shan started yelling like crazy from the first day she was locked up, but it had been six or seven days and she had had enough of it. Knowing that no one would pay attention to her, she naturally quieted down.
Without the empress's order, no one tortured her, and she was not deprived of two meals a day, but Wen Shan herself could not accept it and was almost driving herself crazy.
What Xiao Li saw when she walked in was a disheveled, untidy man with his back to her, banging his head on the table and mumbling something in a weird tone.
Two guards opened the door and came in, pulling her around.
"Let me go, let me go, I am the empress, be bold..."
When Xiao Wenshan was caught, she immediately struggled frantically, but the shouting voice disappeared instantly when she saw Xiao Li outside the prison door. She tried to break free from the guard's hand but was held tightly.
Unable to struggle, he could only stare at Xiao Li fiercely.
"Xiao Xuanyang!"
"You came here to see me laugh, right? Now that you've seen it, are you satisfied?"
"We are all daughters of the Emperor. Why do you get to be the Empress, while we are sent to the Imperial Mausoleum to die?"
"You are cruel, vicious, heartless and ungrateful. Why don't you just die?!"
Xiao Li didn't let anyone interrupt Xiao Wenshan's cursing. He could tell that she hated him very much, even though the reasons for her hatred sounded ridiculous.
She actually thought that Xiao Li could become the empress just because she was the daughter of the late emperor?
Stupid, naive and vicious, that's Xiao Wenshan.
Xiao Li disdained to argue with stupid people. He looked at her face and had to admit that Lu Ling's skills were quite good. She actually looked 90% similar to Xiao Li.
The missing part is the eyes. Everything else can be changed except the pupils.
Xiao Wenshan's ferocious, jealous and resentful expression on his face made Xiao Li feel even more uncomfortable than her words.
Xiao Li had never seen his face so ugly.
"The crime of treason shall be punished by death without pardon."
"But before that, peel off this skin, lest King Yama make a mistake in the Book of Life and Death in the underworld."
Xiao Li's eyes were calm and indifferent, and he spoke lightly, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
Skinning and beheading are commonplace.
"you......"
After hearing this, Xiao Wenshan's expression became ferocious and she was about to curse, but before she could utter a single word, she was restrained and her tongue was cut off with a knife.
The guard quickly used a handkerchief to bet on her, so that she couldn't even scream.
Lou Yan stood in front of Xiao Li and said, "I will obey your majesty's order, but your majesty should not watch such dirty things."
Xiao Li didn't want to watch it in the first place, and she wasn't afraid of any scenes. But Lou Yan's attitude made her speechless. She didn't need to be so cared for.
He turned around and walked out, but after taking a few steps, the person imprisoned in the next cell called out to Xiao Li.
"Royal sister!"
A woman whose eyebrows and eyes looked somewhat similar to Xiao Li looked at Xiao Li excitedly across the railing.
"Please spare my life, sister."
She pleaded, "I was forced by Wenshan, but I only provided a place to stay and did not participate in it. Please, sister... please, Your Majesty, have mercy."
Xiao Li looked at the strange girl in front of him and thought for a long time before he figured out her name.
Xiao Wende.
Wang Yizu helped Xiao Li deal with matters in the harem, and Wende was the only princess who was well taken care of.
She was given a princess's mansion and lived with her biological mother.
Although Princess Wende's Mansion is not as good as Xiao Li's, its configuration is definitely worthy of her status.
Guards, servants, land, and even a separate dowry for her to take with her. As long as she reached the age, she could choose a husband of her choice.
With her status as a princess and all that money, she would definitely be able to live the rest of her life in prosperity and leisure.
This matter was not arranged by Xiao Li, but in the end it was Xiao Li who nodded in agreement.
Although Xiao Li had no feelings for this so-called sister, seeing that she was young and had never offended her, Xiao Li gave her the greatest tolerance.
Xiao Li said: "If it's coercion, why don't you ask for help?"
Xiao Wende said timidly, "I dare not."
Xiao Li: "Do you know what Xiao Wenshan is going to do?"
Xiao Wende nodded: "I know."
“Why not stop it?”
Xiao Wende: "I can't stop it."
Xiao Li lazily raised his eyes, his gaze deep and gloomy. "So, if you can't even stop Xiao Wenshan, why do you think you can stop me from killing you?"
Xiao Wende's face turned pale with fear, and he quickly knelt down: "Imperial sister, that's not what I meant. I...I...I didn't commit treason. I never thought of harming you. I beg you to spare my life, Your Majesty, and show me mercy."
Xiao Wende kept kowtowing and begging.
Xiao Li finally understood that without independent thinking, ability, and courage, he could do nothing and understand nothing.
She was protected by her own mother in the palace, and Xiao Li gave her too much after leaving the palace, making Xiao Wende the only delicate flower in the royal family who had never experienced devastation.
Ridiculously stupid.
"I won't kill you."
Hearing this, Xiao Wende was overwhelmed with emotion: "Thank you, Imperial Sister, and thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Xiao Li glared at her coldly: "From this moment on, your princess status will be abolished and you will be demoted to a commoner. All your property, including the Princess's Mansion, will be taken away."
