At this time, when I heard the word "torture",
Mu Jieyu's face, which was already pale from fear, turned even paler than paper.
She collapsed to the ground as if her spine had been pulled out.
But the instinct of survival still drove her to crawl towards Jiang Meiyu using her hands and feet.
When you get closer
She hugged Jiang Meiyu's legs
She cried out at the top of her lungs, "Sister, please have mercy on me and save me! I've been wronged. I swear to heaven, I've never hurt you. It's all those lowly servants trying to slander me!"
However, facing Mu Jieyu's pleading
Jiang Meiyu was not moved at all.
She didn't even glance at the person who used to be like her sister.
Just frowned in disgust
Then suddenly raised both feet and kicked hard
Mu Jieyu was thrown away like a rag doll.
Just then
Two burly guards strode forward
One of them firmly held Mu Jieyu's arms.
He pretended to drag her to the place of execution.
The guards put Jiang Mu's hands slowly into the cold and cruel torture instruments with stern faces.
As if it was just part of their daily routine.
One of the guards swung his arm
It was like issuing a ruthless order.
Immediately afterwards
The guards on both sides did not hesitate to exert force at the same time
Hold the rope tightly in your hand.
“Ah…ah…”
Jiang Qiongmu's shrill howl instantly resounded throughout the room.
The sound was like a wounded beast
Full of pain and despair.
However, the guards did not stop their actions.
Instead, it gets tighter and tighter.
Not long after, Jiang Qimu's screams gradually weakened.
Eventually, he fainted.
Just then
Another guard calmly brought a basin of cold water that had been prepared long ago.
Pour it down mercilessly from head to toe.
The icy cold water instantly brought Jiang Mu back to consciousness.
But she's not fully awake yet
I didn't even have a chance to speak.
The guards on both sides began to pull the rope hard again.
"Ah...ah...Your Majesty...I beg you, I beg you!"
Jiang Qimu used up all his last bit of strength
Shouted at the top of his lungs.
Emperor Long Wen, who had been sitting on a high seat and watching coldly, saw this.
He raised his hand slightly and waved.
The two guards immediately stopped their actions.
Then, like holding a chicken that has no power to resist
He easily threw Jiang Mu to the ground.
Now look at Jiang Mu's hands
It has become a bloody mess
The originally slender finger joints also appear a little deformed due to extreme twisting.
It looked horrible.
"Your Majesty, all of this was done by Concubine Wen. Ever since I entered this palace, she has been instigating me, intentionally or unintentionally, to deal with Concubine Chen. Even the packet of deadly poison was handed to me by her personally!"
Jiang Mu lying on the ground
While panting
While crying to Emperor Longwen in a trembling voice.
"What a joke! Concubine Mu, oh Concubine Mu, you are really good at making up stories and slandering people! I am the dignified imperial concubine, of unparalleled status, how could I bother to order you to murder a concubine whose status is far lower than mine? Humph, you actually dared to say that the poison was given to you by me, it is simply ridiculous! If this is true, then you should quickly present the evidence! If you can't produce any evidence, it only means that you have evil intentions and are trying to slander me!"
Although Concubine Wen was already panicking like an ant on a hot pot
But she still tried to remain calm
Trying hard to maintain dignity and calm on the surface.
However, the slightly trembling voice and flickering eyes could not completely conceal the fear and anxiety in her heart.
