I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"Haitang, you, you actually!" Jasmine crawled on the ground, looking at the person opposite her in disbelief. In an instant, all the doubts in her heart disappeared.

No wonder she saw that Su Minglang was nice to Nanxing and Nanxing was willing to help Concubine Li. It turned out that all this was just a show in the end. Only she was kept in the dark, foolishly laughing at others' stupidity, but never thought that she was the stupidest person.

"I am not Haitang, I am just Nanxing." Nanxing stood behind Su Minglang and turned her eyes away from her. It was the first time she did such a backstabbing thing, and she couldn't help feeling a little guilty in her heart.

"My queen," Nan Xing leaned close to Su Minglang's ear and whispered, "She...what will you do to her?"

"Are you soft-hearted?" Su Minglang asked back.

"No, no, I just..."

"If you can't bear it, just go out and wait. I won't force you."

Su Minglang had already died once, especially after suffering betrayal from his closest relatives, so he was naturally indifferent to such things. But Nanxing was different. After all, he had not experienced too many things, so it was normal for him to be soft-hearted for a while.

"No need, my queen." Nan Xing pursed her lips and stood aside without saying anything.

She was afraid that Su Minglang would be disappointed in her once she left.

Seeing that she insisted on staying, Su Minglang did not stop her. After all, such things would only happen more and more in the future.

"Jasmine, I really don't understand how powerful Concubine Li is that she would ask you to treat her like this and risk your life to come here to gather intelligence for her?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"

Haitang had already given up hope. She knew that Nanxing would no longer speak for her, but she absolutely could not give Concubine Li away. She could not bear the consequences of doing so.

"Your servant, I don't understand what your Majesty means. I was just lazy for the moment."

"Really?" Su Minglang nodded without commenting, "Someone come here!"

The guards outside the door rushed in upon hearing the order, "My Lady!"

"If a wicked slave commits a crime against his superiors, I will punish him with thirty penalties. Jasmine, I have given you a chance, I hope you will not regret it." Su Minglang smiled brightly, but the words he said made people shiver.

"You, you can't, Your Majesty, you can't torture me!" Jasmine was completely panicked. She had thought that Su Minglang was just a Zhaoyi, and perhaps she would not dare to touch her for the sake of Concubine Li, but she never thought that she would beat her as she said. Thirty strokes of the cane sounded easy, but the broad bamboo board would tear the skin and flesh after just a few hits. If the master wanted to kill her, she would not be able to withstand more than thirty strokes.

"Your Highness, you can't torture me! I didn't do it, and I'm not Concubine Li's person. You can't punish me like this. If it gets out, the concubines and the emperor will think you're abusing private punishment and mistreating servants!"

"Heh!" Su Minglang laughed, walked up to her and gently patted her cheek, "When did I punish you for this? I only punished you because you were lazy."

Jasmine's face turned pale instantly, and she seemed to be stunned when she was dragged away, but she didn't make any noise or noise. When Su Minglang turned around, he saw Nanxing staring at the direction where Jasmine was dragged away, with a look of deep guilt in his eyes.

"Nanxing?" Su Minglang reminded softly.

"Empress!" Nanxing came back to her senses suddenly and saw Su Minglang staring at her motionlessly. She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment. She also knew that she should not be soft-hearted towards the enemy, but she could not control herself. After all, Jasmine had trusted her so much before. What's more, Jasmine, like her, was just an dispensable tool under Concubine Li. If she felt comfortable using her, she could keep her for a while. If she posed a threat to her, she could just throw her away. Who would care about the lives of people like them?

“Your Majesty, I just feel that even if I capture Jasmine, it will be difficult to hurt Concubine Li, so…”

"Pain? When did I ever say I wanted her to feel pain?" Su Minglang let out a sarcastic smile, "I don't want her to feel pain, and I don't want her to be afraid. What I want is a fatal blow!"

"A fatal blow? My queen, you mean, you want her to die?" Nan Xing grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly with trembling hands.

"She wants me to die, so I will naturally return everything to her. Is there any problem with that?" Su Minglang said calmly, walking to the door and carefully listening to the wailing sounds coming from outside.

Jasmine's hoarse howl entered Nanxing's ears, and her respect for Su Minglang was compounded by a bit of fear.

"My lady, how are you going to deal with her?"

"Deal with it?" Su Minglang looked at Nanxing in confusion, with a lingering smile on her lips. "Am I just a servant who would criticize the palace maids at will in Nanxing's mind?"

Nanxing looked at the obvious grievance in Su Minglang's eyes and her heart trembled. She looked away awkwardly and dared not look at her.

"Pfft!" Su Minglang was amused by her cautious look, "I won't deal with her. Someone will naturally make the decision for me."

You use me and I use you. Su Minglang felt a little lonely in her heart. It seemed that the only thing left between her and Xiao Heng in this life was mutual exploitation.

"Nanxing, go out and keep an eye on her. Don't let her die."

"Yes!" Nan Xing received the order and walked out quickly. When he raised his eyes, he saw Jasmine lying on the torture bench, dying. At this time, half of the thirty strokes of the cane had been done.

"The Queen said that Jasmine was wrong but her crime was not punishable by death. You are asked to be more cautious. If anyone kills someone, he must castrate himself and serve the Queen!"

When the executioners heard her say this, the strength in their hands did not decrease at all, but the position of their hands slightly changed. Nanxing saw all of this.

She had also heard that these executioners had their own methods and could decide a person's life or death at will. If the master wanted someone to die, even ten strokes of the stick would be enough to kill that person. If the master wanted to save the person, even a hundred strokes would only cause flesh wounds and would not hurt the insides. Now it really opened her eyes.

"Miss Nanxing, I have already beaten you with thirty sticks. Look..."

Nan Xing nodded and walked to Jasmine, "Jasmine, have you thought it through?"

"Thinking, thinking about what?" Jasmine gasped in her dying breath, staring at Nanxing with a pair of eyes, "I have nothing to think about for things I have never done. Could it be that Su Minglang wants to be tortured into confessing?"

Hearing her calling her master by her name again, the last trace of guilt in Nanxing's heart disappeared. She looked at Jasmine's increasingly cold expression. Seeing that she was still unmoved, she simply turned around and left. "Since my sister hasn't learned her lesson yet, I'll trouble you brothers to give her thirty more beatings."

"Nanxing! You bitch! You dare, you dare to hit me! You dare!" Jasmine cursed angrily under the sound of the cane, looking at the direction where Nanxing left with an unwilling look.
