"Don't be nervous, Madam. My princess just asked me to tell you that my prince recently built a cruel prison with all kinds of tortures, but he doesn't have tongue torture yet," Green Fairy said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing the words "cruel prison," Madam Chen could almost picture a blood-soaked torture chamber filled with all sorts of instruments of torture...
Her face paled, her voice trembling, "Tongue...tongue torture?"
Lv Qiao nodded. "It's a special kind of iron tool. After heating it red-hot, you stick it into a person's mouth and pull their tongue out directly. That red-hot iron tool can pull a person's tongue out in one go, so it shouldn't be painful."
Madam Chen's legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground. "Your Highness, why...why did you establish such a punishment?"
"Because Her Majesty hates gossipy and talkative people the most. Although she hasn't mentioned the idea of adding a tongue-punishment to the Prince yet, he has been spoiling her a lot lately. If she does bring it up, he will definitely add this punishment. Then, we can catch gossipy people and test this punishment on them," Green Beauty said without blushing or panting.
Madam Chen was so frightened she almost fainted. "Your Majesty's idea is really... really... I have things to attend to at home, I'll be going now." With that, she turned and ran as if a ghost were chasing her.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao turned around and went back with a smile.
After today's fright, Madam Chen will surely never dare to gossip in front of the old lady again.
Not long after Madam Chen left, Wen Nongnong also found an excuse to leave Fu'an Hall.
Madam Wen doesn't want to see her even once more and wishes she would leave as soon as possible.
She brought it up herself, which saved her the trouble of finding an excuse to brush it off.
But even though she's gone, the frustration in her heart remains.
That brat Wen Nongnong must have come back on purpose to annoy her.
She patted her chest, furious.
Furthermore, after Wen Nongnong, Madam Xu, and Lu Yingying came out of Fu'an Hall, they sat down in the pavilion in the garden to drink tea and talk.
Thinking of what had just happened at Fu'an Hall, Madam Xu poked Wen Nongnong's forehead with her finger with a helpless expression. "You silly girl, your grandmother's face changed just now. If she had really gotten sick from anger..."
Wen Nong Nong hugged her arm and said with a smile, "Grandmother is in very good health and won't be upset by my words. She is waiting for Wen Ruyi to come back and take care of her."
When Wen Ruyi was mentioned, Madam Xu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
After what happened with Nong Nong last time, she now dislikes Wen Ruyi very much, and mentioning her makes her feel like she has a fishbone stuck in her throat.
Although Wen Ruyi was only an adopted daughter, her family treated her well, and the old lady always favored her. She should have been grateful and cherished her blessings. She never expected that such a wicked heart was hidden under that innocent and pure appearance.
At such a young age, she could come up with such insidious and vicious schemes; she always felt that Wen Ruyi was somewhat strange.
Only the old lady still held hope for her, sincerely hoping that she would be filial to her in the future.
But she didn't even consider that Wen Ruyi could harbor such wicked thoughts towards Nong Nong; how could she possibly have a conscience?
The old lady is truly delusional.
Thinking about it, Madam Xu sighed, "However, I don't know what kind of luck that girl had, she actually managed to get on the Emperor's good side and was promoted from a low-ranking concubine to a high-ranking concubine in one go. Her promotion speed is really fast. Everyone outside is saying how much the Emperor dotes on her. No wonder your grandmother's heart is restless again."
