Every face was covered with scars so deep that they showed the bones. Seeing her approach, they couldn't help but shrink back, trying to avoid her sharp eyes, but after being nailed to the cross, these people had nowhere to hide.

"Put them all down and take good care of them."

Minglang's voice was light and cold, floating in the dungeon, showing how weak he was.

"Your Highness, these people have committed serious crimes. If it weren't for the order from Your Majesty, they would have deserved to die a hundred times."

Minglang raised his eyes slightly, and without saying a word, the man fell silent.

"Find a doctor to take a look. It's enough if the wounds on your body don't bleed and you can live for three months without dying."

Her coming-of-age ceremony is in half a month. It's such a pity. If she could have destroyed these countries before the ceremony, she could have added a few more political achievements when she returned victorious.

Minglang sat in the dungeon, his cloak loosened, revealing his fair neck. The red jade hanging around his neck was more vibrant than the brazier in the dungeon.

Watching these people being put down, their bodies with severed tendons hit the ground with a dull thud, and they couldn't even cry out in pain.

His hands and feet were so weak that he had to be dragged along, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

Minglang just sat there watching, his face a little pale, and his dark pupils made people feel uneasy.

No one dared to look Prince Bao in the eye, for fear of angering him in the next second.

After everyone was taken down from the cross, Minglang narrowed his eyes and looked at the last person who could still stand and walk.

"Your Highness, we haven't had time to pick out the tendons yet."

The servant who followed His Highness saw His Highness's gaze fall on the last person, and immediately explained the reason.

Minglang raised his hand, and the man quickly handed him the whip.

He raised his head slightly and swung the black whip towards the man's ankle with such force that the sound of the wind caused by the whip whistled in the dungeon.

"what--"

A whip was swung over, and Minglang watched the man fall to the ground. The flesh on his ankle was torn open, revealing the bone.

On the other side, Minglang's hands did not stop moving. The guards forcibly separated the man's curled up body and forced him to stand up, exposing the ankle that had just been missed to Minglang.

Another whip hit the man so hard that his voice became hoarse and he could only let out a brief cry of pain when he opened his mouth.

"Take it away and take good care of it. You don't have to worry about this foot anymore. You won't have to walk anymore."

Within the time it took for an incense stick of time, all the people hanging in the dungeon were taken away. Minglang was still sitting in the dungeon, smelling the strong smell of blood around him, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.

After sitting quietly for a long time, Minglang got up and left. As soon as he returned to Changshengtian, Minglang took off his bloody cloak and strode inside.

"Lights out, I'm going to sleep."

The serving palace maids hurriedly did as they were told.

The next morning, Prince Bao, who had appeared at the morning court and disappeared again the next day, did cause some discussion, but all the discussion disappeared after His Majesty appeared.

After Minglang's accident yesterday, Liang Chongyue's mood was also affected. For the next few batches of beauties who are about to arrive in the capital, if they are calm and leave after taking the imperial edict, it will be fine. But if they are restless, they will be sent back with their bodies.

Although he didn't have to attend court, Minglang woke up very early. As soon as he lifted the curtain, someone walked over quickly.

"This servant pays respects to His Highness."

Minglang was a little surprised when he looked up and saw Aunt Yunling, but he quickly got used to it.

"Aunt Yunling, please get up."

"His Majesty is concerned about your health, so he asked me to bring the imperial physician to examine you."

Minglang put on an outer robe, and the maid serving outside came in with a female doctor.

There are quite a few female physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau these years. Minglang put his hands on the mat and waited for the physician's diagnosis.

It was so quiet in Changshengtian that the air seemed to be stagnant until the imperial physician withdrew his hand.

"Your Highness, could you please stick out your tongue for me to see?"

Minglang did as he was told. The imperial physician examined him again and stood up from the small stool beside him.

"Forgive me for my incompetence. Your Highness is not seriously ill, but you have been feeling a bit irritable lately. I have prescribed some medicinal recipes to clear away heat and relieve internal heat. Your Highness should follow these recipes for ten days and you will be fine."

Although she knew her own body condition well, and felt much better after her mother fed her the medicine yesterday, even better than before, Minglang was still a little surprised by the imperial physician's diagnosis today.

"Thank you for your help, Doctor Bai."

After the imperial physician left, Yun Ling took out the pills that His Majesty had specifically instructed and handed them to His Highness.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has instructed that you must continue taking this pill for three more days until your body is fully recovered."

Looking at the pure white pill lying in the brocade box, one can feel colorful light emerging on it just by looking at it. It does not look like something that should exist in the mortal world at all. It looks like a treasure that only exists in the sky in a storybook.

"My body is already healed. The imperial physician just said that I just had a little heart fire. I will be fine after a few days of eating medicinal food. Aunt, please take these good pills back to the Queen Mother."

Minglang had never seen her mother take out such a treasure before. If she had not accidentally inhaled the spices this time, her mother would probably wait until the day she ascended the throne before giving it to her.

"His Majesty said that I must see Your Highness finish eating before I can go back. Don't worry, Your Highness. His Majesty said that such pills need a box, and His Majesty has them too. Don't worry, Your Highness, just eat them."

This was something the Queen Mother would say. Minglang had no choice but to reach out, pick up the pill and put it in her mouth. She didn't even need water. The pill began to dissolve as soon as it touched her tongue.

After eating it, my whole body felt relaxed, and I felt like I didn’t even need to eat medicinal food. Minglang now felt no discomfort anywhere on his body.

"Aunt, please tell my mother that I will be well again tomorrow and that I will attend court as usual."

"Yes, Your Highness, take good care of me. I will go back first."

After Aunt Yunling left, Minglang finished his breakfast alone and wandered around the Princess's Mansion casually.

This house was originally prepared for her after she came of age, but now she has already moved in before she even reaches the age of 15.

Apart from anything else, the scenery is very good, and it feels no worse than the Cining Palace, and the place is big enough.

Minglang walked through every corner of the Princess's Mansion in one day. Her mother had lived here for many years. Every time she walked through a place, she could imagine the scene of her mother and the puppy living here.

I wonder what the Queen Mother was like at that time, and whether she was more famous than she is now.

Several days had passed since the Chinese medicine incident. Liang Chongyue asked seven or eight imperial doctors to take Minglang's pulse. Only after confirming that there was nothing wrong did he feel at ease to stop giving Minglang the medicine.

"You've been recuperating for a while now. Why don't you stay at the camp outside the capital for a few days before your coming-of-age ceremony? Spend some time with the soldiers beforehand?"
