"May I ask your name, sir?" Chen Siyuan wanted to know the answer.
She didn't know why this person was targeting her, and she wanted to know if it was the old emperor's doing.
In Chen Siyuan's view, the reason she is being targeted now is because of Princess Honglian. This person came looking for her back when she was in Nancheng, so it shouldn't be what she thinks.
"My lord?" Upon hearing this, a sharp laugh rang out from the other party. "Tell her who I am."
A man from the Western Depot standing nearby stepped forward with a fawning expression.
"This is the Deputy Commander."
"Deputy Commander?" Chen Siyuan's eyes darted around. "You're Little Fish?"
Upon hearing this, the visitor's expression instantly changed.
He glanced at Chen Siyuan, then raised his hand, and everyone around him left.
Chen Siyuan also saw that the eunuch in front of her was Pingtai. He was a man planted in the West Depot by the Third Prince. With the Third Prince's secret help, he rose to the position of deputy commander of the West Depot.
In her past life, she overheard Song Ji drunkenly saying, "That damned Pingtai is actually the Third Prince's little fish! That scoundrel is so wicked, I..."
In order to climb the ranks, Song Ji used Tao Yifan's connections to frequently petition the Third Prince.
Doing things is indispensable.
He did everything he could to gain credit and show off.
He had clashed with Pingtai several times over matters concerning the Western Depot, and had gained a slight advantage.
After the Third Prince gained power, this man did his best to trip up Song Ji.
Chen Siyuan never imagined that the people from the West Depot had their eyes on her long ago.
Now Chen Siyuan seems to understand what's going on.
Tao Yifan was the Third Prince's most capable strategist. When they were in Nancheng, Tao Yifan got too close to him. They were engaged, and the Third Prince, who was far away in the capital, was unhappy about his presence by Tao Yifan's side. That's why he used the people from the Western Depot to target him.
Things I couldn't understand before, I finally understand now.
They also vaguely knew why they had encountered this situation.
It was because of what happened to Tao Yifan at the restaurant that day.
Others may not know, but given the Third Prince's abilities, even if he's busy dealing with the Fourth Prince, his many subordinates would likely push him forward to prove themselves.
hehe--
She was implicated by Tao Yifan.
Pingtai stepped forward, raised his hand and forcefully pinched Chen Siyuan's chin, a cruel smile on his face.
"Miss Chen, you know quite a lot, don't you?"
Chen Siyuan's eyes flashed, she twisted her face away, and broke free from his grasp.
Knowing the whole story, Chen Siyuan wanted to live even more.
Even though she didn't have the strength to get up, the last breath in her heart kept her going; she was unwilling to die like this.
She didn't care if people shed fake tears and said they regretted it after she died. She wanted to live, even if she lived a miserable life, to avenge herself.
From now on, she and Tao Yifan will be even, and she will settle the score for today with Tao Yifan.
Pingtai seemed to have no idea he would encounter something so interesting today.
Having worked at the Western Depot for so many years, I've seen it all. Today, seeing such an interesting toy, I suddenly have a new idea in mind.
They can torment people; they have methods that can cause unbearable pain, yet leave them unable to express their suffering.
Since we're all going to die anyway, it's good to have some fun before we die.
"Chen Siyuan, the weather's nice today, so I'll give you a good time!"
He straightened up, picked up the whip he had just placed on the ground, looked at Chen Siyuan, and a smug smile spread across his face.
"Two of you, tie me up properly." Pingtai loved seeing people suffer and struggle to break free.
Soon, two men from the Western Depot arrived and lifted Chen Siyuan up, tying her to a chair.
Pingtai, holding a whip, approached Chen Siyuan and pleaded, "Beg me, and perhaps I can be gentler."
"Get out!" Chen Siyuan spat at him fiercely.
She was furious.
After her rebirth, she thought she could live a wonderful life. She was secretly pleased with her careful planning, but she didn't know that she had been targeted by someone all along. She was unaware of this and foolishly came to the capital.
As the deputy commander, Pingtai was fawned over by everyone, and he was furious to be treated like this by a woman.
Since he's dead anyway, he can do whatever he wants with him.
Snap—
Snap—
One lash after another, this one was even more powerful than the one from before.
Soon, her entire back was torn apart, and Chen Siyuan's face grew paler and paler. She tried her best to hold back her screams.
She clenched her teeth so tightly that her lip was bitten until it bled.
As long as she lives, she will definitely get her revenge for what happened today.
Even if I die, I will become a vengeful ghost and come back to take revenge on this person.
She heard that the deeper the resentment in her heart, the greater the possibility of a vengeful ghost. She tried her best to hold back the anger in her heart and not let it out.
Inside the punishment hall, the candlelight flickered.
The horrific instruments of torture hanging on the wall were brought down on Chen Siyuan's body by Ping Tai, one blow after another.
Her face was deathly pale, her hair was disheveled, and blood was seeping from the corner of her mouth; she looked like someone who had been pulled out of a pool of blood.
Even so, Chen Siyuan kept her eyes open.
Her gaze made Pingtai, who was used to all kinds of tragedies, feel a little guilty. He then began to apply various torture devices to her body in a tight, uninterrupted manner.
Later, Pingtai seemed to be angered as well, and went to the torture instruments and picked out another one.
This torture device is like a brush; once it brushes across a person's body, it can peel off a layer of skin. Chen Siyuan experienced this kind of pain in her previous life.
That feeling was hundreds of times more painful than being whipped.
Chen Siyuan was already mentally prepared. When she saw Pingtai walking towards her, her body began to spasm in waves.
Chen Siyuan felt that if she begged for mercy, she might get a quick death. What if she could live?
What if I could live?
She didn't want to give up the chance to live; she wanted to fight to the very end.
"Scared?" Pingtai finally saw a fearful expression on Chen Siyuan's face, which miraculously made Pingtai feel a little more at ease.
"If you're scared, then beg your brother!"
Pingtai grew more and more excited as she spoke. This woman, full of pride, had captivated both Tao Yifan and Qiao Yuchen. She was truly something else.
I wonder what it would feel like if this woman begged me?
Chen Siyuan forced a smile, "Little Fish, don't you know what kind of person you are?"
Ping Tai was stunned for a moment.
He was a eunuch, a person with disabilities.
Every normal person mocks these rootless eunuchs.
How can I bear being mocked by a dying man?
Enraged, Pingtai swung the torture instrument in his hand down Chen Siyuan's back.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside.
