When Tong Chunfang was dragged out, she was still a little confused, but when she saw Li Qishang standing in front of her, a mocking smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
Without the slightest fear, she slowly got up from the ground, trembling as she looked at Li Qishang standing in front of her;
He sneered, "Oh, so this carefree prince, who's always so busy with state affairs, is actually in this prison now. I suppose it's because my great Japan killed that emperor?"
"presumptuous!"
"Slap him!" Before Li Qishang could speak, Hua Quan, who had followed him in, heard these infuriating words and immediately shouted back.
The guard next to her raised his hand and slapped Tong Chunfang twice, knocking her to the ground.
"You bitch! Guards! Drag her to the torture chamber!"
Tong Chunfang was then dragged to the torture chamber. Li Qishang sat on a chair to the side, while Tong Chunfang was tied to a cross. He looked at Li Qishang with disdain. They, the Japanese, never admitted defeat.
"Someone, stuff a piece of numbness into her mouth."
A constable came over with a small, round object and stuffed it into Tong Chunfang's mouth.
Tong Chunfang's mouth immediately felt a tingling and numb sensation, and she couldn't muster any strength in her mouth, let alone shout. The log was too big to swallow.
A sinister smile appeared on Li Qishang's lips. "Use the bone-scraping torture on her."
These words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present, for the punishment of bone removal was extremely cruel and required a highly experienced executioner.
Several guards and an executioner, unsure of what to do, looked at Shang Yao and Hua Quan standing to the side.
Hua Quan coughed and then said, "Prince Xiaoyao, this bone-scraping punishment is a serious crime. The Emperor hasn't even returned to the capital yet, and you've already killed someone... that..."
Li Qishang snorted coldly, "The bone-removing torture includes removing the butterfly bones, collarbones, cervical vertebrae, shoulder bones, wrist bones, hip bones, kneecaps, tibias, and ankle bones completely."
"But today I will only remove one of her collarbones. I will come back in a few days to remove it slowly. This one bone won't kill her. Then go and call the prison doctor and make sure he guarantees she won't die."
"Don't those Japanese people love to cause trouble everywhere? Then I'll show them that we, the people of Nanding Kingdom, are the fathers that these petty scoundrels can't afford to mess with!"
“One day, they will kneel at our feet and submit to us. We will eventually be the kings of the Japanese. They are only fit to be our slaves and servants, only fit to be lowly people.”
When Li Qishang said these words, he was gritting his teeth and filled with resentment. If it weren't for the Japanese, his elder brother would not have personally led the expedition.
His elder brother might still be at sea, his only brother, the one who sheltered him from the storm, now nowhere to be found and unable to communicate with him. How could he let this go?
Since we can't go to Japan and deal with those Japanese pirates, let's deal with these traitors and these wolves in sheep's clothing.
"Today, I want her collarbone."
The men in the cell fell silent after hearing this, for their prince was right; it was because of these treacherous and ambitious people.
That's why their empress and emperor personally led the expedition, that's why their country was once happy and peaceful, but now it faces the danger of war.
The people cried out in anguish, saying that those Japanese traitors were utterly depraved and deserved to die!
Thinking back to his own elder brother, who also served in the military, and now was going to the border to attack overseas countries, it was truly heartbreaking.
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand. Please rest assured!" The executioner was a man who looked to be about forty years old. He took off the bag that was slung across his waist.
He opened the torture instruments inside, picked out a sharp but short knife, swung it up and down a bit, and felt quite good about it. He then covered his eyes with a white cloth, covering the area below his eyes.
Although Tong Chunfang could not speak, she could still hear. She struggled left and right, trying to keep the chopstick-handed man from getting closer.
"Waaaaah, waaaaah..."
Li Qishang coldly observed everything before him. Hua Quan turned his back in fear, but did not leave, still thinking about the two imperial edicts he had just seen.

Guan Zhiyue was unaware of the disgusting events unfolding in the capital, while she was busy in Guantao County.
In a few days it will be her twentieth birthday, and she will be a grown woman. Unfortunately, she is alone in the border region, and she can only turn her sadness into motivation.
"Hey, Young Master Lan, you're still not done?"
"Hurry up! I've been waiting for you so long I'm about to wither. How can a grown man take so long to go out?" Guan Zhiyue was dressed in modern clothes and a baseball cap.
She wore a long top that just covered her buttocks, loose-fitting lantern pants, and old-fashioned green rubber shoes, which were the People's Liberation Army shoes from her previous life.
The reason was simple: she was going to work in the fields today. She had just bought a farm here a few days ago, which was full of fruit trees, but because of the previous owner of the farm;
Because they don't know how to take care of the trees, the fruit they grow is small and doesn't taste good. But they can't bear to pull them out, since they are saplings that have been planted for several years.
I still felt a little sad about selling it, but after countless internal struggles, I finally sold Zhuangzi.
The buyer just so happened to be their current empress, who was overjoyed. Without saying a word, he pulled out the land deed and sold it on the spot.
Because he knew that the saplings could definitely be saved in the hands of their queen, and besides, this was a place that provided fruit for the naval camp;
Just imagine if the Empress could really be saved in the future, he would be proud to tell others!
We've gone off on a tangent, let's get back to it!
Lan Shanqi finally came out. He was wearing a royal blue short-sleeved shirt and the cuffs of his trousers were tied up with strips of cloth.
She looked exactly like a farmer who was about to work in the fields, but her beautiful face and overall demeanor made her seem very awkward to others.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Young Master Lan, you're neither a rich man nor a farmer, you've turned yourself into a complete hybrid. Why don't you go and wear the clothes of a noble young master? This outfit makes you look nothing like a farmer."
Lan Shanqi looked at Guan Zhiyue and saw that she was dressed simply and casually, without any unnecessary embellishments. Even her pants were tight-fitting. He was furious!
Guan Zhiyue's life is very fulfilling now. She's busy with business and farming, so she doesn't have time to miss Li Qiji, who is thousands of miles away and still adrift at sea!
Actually, it's just to distract myself from missing you, that's all!
