"Master, did you hear that?"
"This woman knew everything clearly from the beginning to the end."
"She knows something that no one else in this world knows. She knows that you and His Highness were once close friends."
"She calculated that you would not suffer any hardship at the hands of His Highness."
"But she hadn't considered anything except that you would become this inhuman, half-demon-like person in order to protect her, believe in her innocence, and take the blame for her."
"A Taoist priest of high status and leisure would rather fall into the mortal world for such a witch."
"The Taoist priest has now disregarded the restoration of his family and is determined to take the death penalty for this witch and the murder of the Twelve Lady of the Pei Family. Is it really worth it?"
"She's been using you from the beginning to the end..."
Hearing these words, Ku Lianqiao was about to go crazy.
"I, I didn't... I wasn't..."
However, Qing Yangzi's clear eyes just stared at Ku Lianqiao quietly.
It seemed as if he had no regrets about everything he did.
Ku Lianqiao shed tears of sorrow.
“Why…why…”
Qing Yangzi moved his lips, but when he opened his mouth, it was pitch black and he couldn't utter a single word.
Leng Dian smiled: "Oh, I forgot. It turns out that the Taoist priest's tongue has been cut off a long time ago."
"Just a few days ago, it was made into a snack and sent to this witch."
"Is it delicious? That plate of braised pig tongue..."
Leng Dian curled the corners of his lips strangely, but turned his head and vomited out of disgust at the bitter forsythia.
As she vomited, she murmured bitterly, "I didn't know...you were such a responsible man..."
"It's all me, it's all me..."
Duan Rongshi seemed to have lost all patience.
He suddenly wiggled his fingers lightly and said coldly, "Do it."
"Since they are both so stubborn, let this unfortunate pair of mandarin ducks watch how each other is tortured."
After saying that, the executioner walked towards Ku Lianqiao with the knife in hand.
The other man holding a machete pressed Qing Yangzi's other hand to the ground.
Ku Lianqiao watched this scene in panic. She kept looking at Qing Yangzi, and found that his eyes were still looking at her with affection. The bitterness in her heart suddenly flooded her like a mountain and a sea...
Just as the machete was about to fall, Ku Lianqiao finally stopped it with a scream, "I said—!"
"I said..."
"It was indeed me who poisoned Pei Twelve Niang!"
"Qing Yangzi and I are in love and will be getting married soon. But then I learned that he already has a young wife and has never written a letter of annulment."
"I was jealous, and because Minister Pei caused a scene at the Taoist temple that day, I did this impulsively..."
"But Pei Twelve Niang's death really has nothing to do with me—"
Ku Lianqiao told the truth with tears in her eyes, and it was also the first time she admitted that she had poisoned the chestnut cake.
However, Prince Su did not completely believe her words.
He moved his fingers expressionlessly: "Continue."
After he finished speaking, a machete fell, blood splattered everywhere, and Qing Yangzi's entire arm was chopped off.
His eyes widened, and he was sweating profusely in an instant, groaning silently with his mouth open.
Immediately afterwards, the whole person fainted and fell to the ground.
Prince Su impatiently ordered someone to drag him away.
"Tomorrow, continue chopping off the legs."
"Until the end, I'll turn him into a human pig and soak him in a water tank. What do you think?"
Prince Su asked about the bitter forsythia.
Ku Lianqiao was almost driven crazy by the scene just now.
"What else do you want to know? You're asking me why, why do you have to destroy him—"
"You beast—you're not even human—do you have any feelings or flesh and blood?!"
"In this world, no one will be sincere to you——"
"You are a devil!"
“Wuwuwu…”
Prince Su: "I can give him a quick death. But I said, as long as you tell the truth."
"If your words satisfy this king, perhaps this king can show some mercy and allow you two to truly meet again before you die, considering your past acquaintance and friendship with Qing Yangzi."
"Will you tell me, or won't you?"
Ku Lianqiao thought that Qingyangzi's suffering was all caused by herself, and suddenly the guilt and pain in her heart could no longer be suppressed.
She had already lost all her strength, and now, filled with endless sorrow, she replied, "I... I'll tell you everything... that's it..."
Prince Su: "Is Maitreya's poison from your master?"
Ku Lianqiao nodded bitterly: "No... that is a poison from the Western Regions, it certainly has nothing to do with my sect."
Prince Su: "But you know this poison."
"So, the Maitreya poison that Pei Twelve Niang consumed before her death was caused by you?"
