The punishments of Shenxing Sili had already been updated.

Previously, upon entering the prison, the first punishment was whipping, followed by needle torture.

But now, they just whip him a few times, sprinkle honey water on him, and put him in a room where ants gather.

In just a few breaths, a person can't take it anymore.

But they still gritted their teeth and none of them admitted it.

Xingyue was almost laughing out of anger; these guys really have a hard tooth.

Could it be that none of these three were men at that time?

Xingyue had the three people dragged out, their bodies still covered in ants crawling and biting them.

"Which of you were having an affair with a man while carrying around your little princess clothes today?"

"Right in the garden outside the banquet hall, she even said she could leave the palace and marry a man in six months?"

"Don't think you can get away with it by not talking. I've already sent people to investigate, and I estimate it won't be long before they find out."

The three palace maids trembled with fear, one of them even wetting her pants in terror.

Seeing the suspicious puddle of water in front of the woman, Xingyue slowly walked over and lifted the woman's chin with one hand. "It's you?"

The woman's teeth were chattering; they were chattering even before she spoke.

"You were having an affair with a man?"

The woman's eyes were filled with tears; she wanted to shake her head but dared not.

The dagger was sharp; she was afraid she might be pierced by it if she wasn't careful.

"What drug did you put on the little princess's clothes?"

The woman's tears fell in a steady stream. "I didn't... I didn't."

“Aunt Xingyue, I just happened to run into an old friend, so I stopped and said a few words to him. I didn’t touch the little princess’s clothes.”

"You've rekindled your relationship with that old friend."

The woman opened her mouth, and her tears fell even more fiercely.

“He just picked it up and looked at it; he didn’t put the drug in.”

Xingyue curled her lips in a mocking smile, "Are you sure? Why was the little princess poisoned?"

"I don't know."

"Arrest this man and take him to see the Empress."

As Lord Yu and Tang Xinxin watched the woman give her confession, they witnessed the methods used in the palace. Tang Xinxin was so frightened that she dared not move.

The other two women being tortured glared resentfully at the woman being led away.

It's all her fault; she dragged them into this mess.

But now, neither of them dares to say a word.

However, someone brought cold water and washed away the ants on the two of them.

Sheng Yuhua looked at the palace maid who had been brought in. She was covered in ants and had been dragged in.

"Your Majesty, it was her. She was taking the little princess's clothes to meet a man outside, and that man even touched the clothes."

Sheng Yuhua's face turned cold. "Who is the man?"

The palace maid kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything. Xingyue went straight up and tapped her a few times. The woman was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Arrest her family and anyone connected to her."

Just as Sheng Yuhua finished speaking, the Emperor strode in.

"is her?"

"Not sure yet, but it should be close."

The Emperor's gaze was icy. "Take them all to prison and interrogate them thoroughly."

"And that man, including his family."

The palace maid never imagined that simply showing the clothes in her hand to her man would result in both families being imprisoned.

The imperial prison was overcrowded. Although some people had been arrested, the rest were still kept in the palace.

In the evening, Xiaoxiao finally came back and told her about Tangtang's situation, along with some photos.

It's all right now; the item was hidden inside the clothes.

The man, who had initially tried to argue his way out, was immediately subjected to severe torture.

Xiaoxiao's hand was already bandaged, and it was wrapped up like a rice dumpling. Sheng Yuhua felt extremely distressed.

"I have some excellent skin-brightening cream here. Use it later, and it won't leave scars."

Xiaoxiao snuggled into Sheng Yuhua's arms, her chubby little hands wrapped around Sheng Yuhua's waist, but she didn't dare to pull too hard.

"Mother, why can my sister go to Master's place, but I can't?"

The little girl was quite devastated. After her master returned and told her that her sister was alright, the little girl kept asking her master, wanting to see her master's world as well.

But I just can't get through that door.

She tried bumping into him, pushing him, and holding his hand, asking him to lead her there, but none of it worked.

She even tried to get her master to hold her, but even her master couldn't get through.

After putting Xiaoxiao down, people can pass through again.

Just like the door on my side, even my master can't get past it.

Xiaoxiao finally gave up, but she still felt wronged.

"Well... I don't know either."
