After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Nian Susu had no intention of guessing what she meant or what other meaning she had. When the three-finger-thick hemp rope whip was taken out, she was stunned. No one told her that the whip had a curved hook!

After these ten whips, her skin was torn and her flesh was exposed. When the props lost their effectiveness, she would die in pain.

She swallowed and stared at the guard.

The guard held the handle in one hand and wrapped the whip around his palm with the other hand. He struggled with both hands in opposite directions, but the whip was very strong.

The queen knew that she was afraid, and she was very proud of herself. She said in a tone of almsgiving: "Nian Susu, if you confess your guilt and sign your name now, you won't have to endure these hardships."

Zhou Fuhai immediately presented the charges and the seal pad to Nian Susu, and it seemed that he had been prepared.

Nian Susu didn't dare to think about it. If she refused to admit her guilt, would the queen continue to torture her?

"Miss Nian, come here." Zhou Fuhai smiled sinisterly and handed the charges forward.

Nian Susu didn't even bother to give him a glance, and his attitude was very tough: "Unless I die, don't even think about making me sign."

She bet that the queen would not dare to let her die.

The queen did not try to persuade him any further and told the guards to take action directly.

The first whip hit, and the sound of flesh tearing apart was terrifying.

Nian Susu's facial features were twisted into a ball. She didn't dare to look at the moment when the whip fell. She was even more worried that the prop would fail. She could still feel the pain, but the fact was that a blood mark appeared on her body, but she didn't feel anything.

Her expression gradually relaxed. After receiving the second whip and confirming that she really didn't feel any pain, she finally let go of her worries. As long as she could get through the torture, she would just grit her teeth and endure the pain later.

In order not to arouse the queen's suspicion, she pretended to be in excruciating pain, screaming and shouting, her miserable voice echoing in the execution room.

I was sweating and exhausted after the performance.

After ten lashes, Nian Susu hung her head in exhaustion, her whole body limp. If she hadn't been tied up, she would have fallen to the ground.

The smell of blood filled his nose. Nian Susu looked at the wounds on his body. The blood and flesh were flying around, which was shocking. His white clothes were almost completely stained red.

Although her pain was temporarily blocked, her body's reaction was real. Blood was flowing out, and she could feel her physical strength decreasing rapidly.

Suddenly, there was a feeling of oppression above his head. Nian Susu was too weak to look up and felt that his body was shrouded in layers of darkness.

The queen pinched Nian Susu's chin and forced her to look up. The long armor scratched her pale face, "Miss Nian, why are you doing this? Wouldn't you have avoided all this suffering if you had confessed your guilt earlier?"

"You have so many wounds on your body. What if you get scars? What will you do then?" The Queen's tone was pitying, but it was not hard to hear a hint of gloating in her voice.

Nian Susu was breathing heavily, and even speaking was difficult for him. He could only utter a few words in a breathy voice: "You...don't even think about...making me...surrender."

The queen's face changed instantly. She snorted coldly, returned to her seat, and flipped through the book of torture instruments again.

"I originally thought that you couldn't withstand these ten lashes and would confess halfway through, saving me some effort. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and refuse to admit it."

She was indeed surprised. Although Nian Susu looked delicate, she was actually more determined than anyone else. Such a person was good only as a companion. Once he became an enemy, he would become very difficult to deal with.

The queen was upset and flipped through the manual without reading a single word. When she turned to the second half, she discovered something new - there was actually poison in the torture chamber.

"Heart-Eroding Pill..." Her fingertips stopped on a certain page and she murmured its name.

The guard explained, "My lady, this heart-eating pill will devour a person's mind, making them immersed in painful memories and unable to extricate themselves. It will also cause the heart to feel as uncomfortable as being electrocuted. Most people can't withstand it for even half a quarter of an hour."

"Okay, let's use this. I want to see whether her words are harder or this heart-eroding pill is harder." The queen closed the book of torture instruments and made up her mind.

The guard was in a dilemma and hesitated to take any action until the queen asked him impatiently. Then he said, "Your Majesty, the Heart-Erosion Pill is too strong. It should not be used unless necessary, as it will cause irreversible mental damage to the prisoner."

After hearing this, the queen smiled and said, "It's just right. Let Miss Nian also experience how Tian'er lives his life."

She ordered sharply: "Do it!"

The guard was frightened and followed the order to get the medicine.

With his last bit of consciousness, Nian Susu's brain was working rapidly to think of a countermeasure.

First of all, she must not become as foolish as Qin Fengtian, and secondly, she cannot sign a confession.

But how can she get the queen to let her go?

At this moment, someone hurried into the execution room. It was a little eunuch.

"Your Majesty, it's bad! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is rushing towards the Heavenly Prison!" The young eunuch was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Nian Susu seemed to see hope. With Qin Junyu around, the queen would certainly not dare to hurt her again.

The queen gritted her teeth, unwilling to leave like this, but the guard who went to get the Heart-Eroding Pill had not returned yet, and if she waited here any longer, she would probably run into Qin Junyu head-on.

Using torture privately was no small matter. If she was caught on the spot and asked by the emperor, she would not even have room to argue. After weighing the pros and cons, the queen decided to leave first.

Zhou Fuhai hurriedly cleaned up the mess and had people untie Nian Susu and throw her back into the cell.

Nian Susu was already feeling uncomfortable all over, and after all this tossing and turning, she seemed to feel a little pain, probably because the props had expired.

From light to slow, at first I just felt ants biting my body, slowly, the knife cut open my flesh, and the whip with barbs hit my body again and again, the pain that I didn't feel just now now all came back to me.

Nian Susu couldn't scream. Her mouth was open with a distorted expression. She lay on the haystack and shivered. She didn't dare move because pressing on the wound would make it more painful.

If she had known this, she would not have used props. She would have used at least ten whips, one after another, with a transition and buffer time. Now she felt as if ten whips were hitting her body at the same time, and her flesh was shattered.

She didn't feel anyone coming from behind her until Qin Junyu pulled her into his arms and touched the wound on her body. Then she cried out.

"Ugh..." It wasn't a shrill scream, but a dry sound as if something was stuck in the throat and the voice was squeezed out.

"Lingling!"

Qin Junyu was frightened. Her face was covered in blood and she was terribly cold. He could hardly feel her warmth.

"Don't be afraid, Lingling. Hold on. I'll take you out."

Qin Junyu picked her up horizontally and left quickly.

Nian Susu's consciousness was blurred and her mind was in a chaotic state. In a trance, she entered a small dark room and saw the system that had been controlling her.

"Am I... am I dead?" Nian Susu was a little surprised and had not yet been able to accept this sudden event.
