The Cold-blooded Emperor's Vengeful Concubine

"Since the concubine has admitted her guilt, then the punishment shall be carried out according to the law." Lan Mou stared at those watery eyes, hoping to see something unusual, but found that they were still calm.

After receiving the order from Emperor Xuanhui, the palace servants quickly presented the finger-pinching torture device, which was actually five small wooden sticks tied together with ropes. It looked simple, but such a simple torture device often cost people's lives.

In the worst case, the finger bones may be broken and the whole hands may be disabled.

Zhao Mengdie looked at Yun Jingman with a smug and vicious look on her face. This is what happens if you offend her. See if you can still show off.

"My dear concubine, do you still have nothing to say?" Baili Haoxuan watched as the palace servants put the finger-torsion on Yun Jingman's hands, but she still looked cold and calm.

"Yes, I have nothing to say." Yun Jingman replied coldly.

"Torture her." Baili Haoxuan ordered coldly. He gave her a way out, but she was still like this. She was really a woman who could not be taught a lesson.

Those palace maids were all old maids who were specifically responsible for punishing the disobedient new palace maids. Their methods were vicious and cruel. If a maid fell into their hands, she would be seriously injured if not killed.

"Wait a minute." A cold voice stopped him.

Zi Yan, dressed in purple, walked out from the back two rows, came to the front of the hall, glanced at Yun Jingman, and said, "Your Majesty, your concubine..."

"Empress Yan, do you have anything to say?" Zhao Mengdie stared at Zi Yan with sharp eyes and warned.

"Empress Yan, I don't need your plea." Yun Jingman said coldly. It's not that she doesn't need it, but she just doesn't want to drag Zi Yan down.

"Empress Yan, since Concubine Qing has said that she doesn't need your pleading, then Concubine Yan should not make yourself embarrassed." Zhao Mengdie said.

"No. Even if the concubine doesn't need my intercession, there are some facts that I must tell you. I hope the emperor will understand." Zi Yan said seriously. She followed Yun Jingman into the palace, first to supervise her, and second to protect her safety. This was the master's order, and she had to obey.

"Say!"

"What I saw was that Concubine Butterfly was the first to speak rudely, and Concubine Love retorted. Moreover, it was Concubine Butterfly who started hitting people first, and Concubine Love was just fighting back. If there is any punishment to be given, Concubine Butterfly should accept it first." Zi Yan pointed at Zhao Mengdie coldly, and Zhao Mengdie's face turned ashen.

"You...you are lying with your eyes open. You are a dancer who came from the Kingdom of Modan with my concubine, so of course you are on her side. All the sisters here are witnesses, so don't accuse me." Zhao Mengdie said angrily.

"Dancer, Your Majesty, please hear it with your own ears. This is what Concubine Die said about the concubine." Zi Yan snorted coldly. This Zhao Mengdie is really stupid.

"Your Majesty...I didn't..." Zhao Mengdie was about to say something when she was interrupted by Baili Haoxuan.

"Shut up. Queen, this is a matter of the harem, you make the decision." Baili Haoxuan handed the power to Leng Ruoning and said coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Leng Ruoning said softly.

"Princess Butterfly, Princess Love." Leng Ruoning called out in a Fengyi manner, while Baili Haoxuan raised his hands and watched coldly.

"Yes." Zhao Mengdie and Yun Jingman stepped forward and answered.

"I am very sorry for these unpleasant things that happened in my Fengsheng Palace. We are all the emperor's women, living together in the deep palace. We are all sisters and should take care of each other. The harem is like a big family, and we are all family members. It is inevitable that there will be minor frictions. In this matter, just for my face, a big thing will be made small, and a small thing will be nothing. What do Concubine Die and Concubine Qing think?" Leng Ruoning said softly.

As expected of a queen who was brought up by ladies from noble families, her words were flawless and logical.

"I will await the Queen's arrangements." Zhao Mengdie said in a solemn tone. Although she was still holding her breath and feeling uncomfortable, since the Queen said so, what else could she say?

Leng Ruoning smiled and looked at Zhao Mengdie, then turned to look at Yun Jingman and said, "What do you think, Concubine Qing?"

Everyone's attention once again returned to Yun Jingman.

"Since you have done something wrong, you should be punished. I am willing to accept the punishment together with Concubine Die." Yun Jingman said calmly. She would not let Zhao Mengdie, who had caused the trouble, go. She would not let it go. She would drag her down even if she would get hurt.

"My dear concubine, you know that finger-torsion is not fun. At the very least, your skin will be torn, and at the worst, your whole hands will be disabled." Leng Ruoning was very surprised by Yun Jingman's words, and patiently advised him.

"Of course I know what kind of punishment is pinching the fingers. When you heard that I made a mistake, you couldn't wait to use it on me. Now that you know that Concubine Die is also wrong, you try to make a big deal out of a small matter. Are you just going to let it go like this? Is this differential treatment?" Yun Jingman asked coldly.

Baili Haoxuan looked at Yun Jingman with an expression as if he was enjoying a good show. This was truly a beautiful rose with thorns, hurting others and himself.

"This..." Leng Ruoning was also speechless due to Yun Jingman's words, and looked for help at Baili Haoxuan who was watching the show on the side.

After receiving Leng Ruoning's cold gaze, Baili Haoxuan spoke coldly, "Then do as Qing Fei said, and punish both of them."

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Mengdie shouted in horror.

Zhao Mengdie walked to the front of the palace, knelt beside Baili Haoxuan, pulled the hem of Baili Haoxuan's dragon robe, and begged for help: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I beg Your Majesty to take back your order. Your Majesty..."

"That's not what I said. My beloved, the person you should ask for help is my beloved concubine. You should ask her to take back her words of accepting the punishment." Baili Haoxuan grinned the most enchanting and lazy smile and said coldly.

Zhao Mengdie gritted her teeth, walked down the hall, and came to Yun Jingman's side. She didn't want to lose face, but she also didn't want to be too aggressive, so she said, "My beloved concubine..." She really found it difficult to speak the words of begging for mercy.
