The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Zhui Yu: "Of course."

"You've seen it too, young lady. Even though this woman has been tortured like this, she's still so stubborn. Not only that, she keeps saying the same thing every time. She's quite a tough girl."

Li Qingluo's eyes turned completely cold: "That hasn't reached the point of her greatest fear and pain."

Zhui Yu smiled and said, "Yes, but there's no rush. Your Highness is about to strike her where it hurts most."

"Oh, by the way, the prince said that since you are here today, you should learn how to interrogate people and pry open their mouths. Miss, take a look--"

After Zhuiyu said this, he felt embarrassed for his master.

Your Highness is really something. How can you chase a girl like this in this world?

Even though I am inexperienced, I still want to talk about it in my heart today.

In other words, the girl was born with a similar temperament to her master and was not scared away yet. Otherwise, an ordinary girl would have been scared to death by the name of Dali Temple, not to mention coming to this prison to take a look.

At the beginning, their Highness said at the gate of the Jinling Yamen prison that he would teach people how to torture and try people, but he never thought that this day would really come.

Zhui Yu picked his nose silently in his heart.

Leng Dian walked out of the darkness with his men holding a pair of knives.

When the leather was spread out, knives were densely packed on the ground. A rough scan showed that there were at least fifty knives of different sizes and shapes.

Que'er swallowed hard and couldn't help asking, "Are they going to torture me to death?"

Zhui Yu nodded excitedly: "Of course, of course. These young girls have tender skin and flesh, so they are often the easiest to cut."

"The executioners in our Dali Temple are incredibly skilled. They can barely draw blood with a single cut. Even with a thousand cuts, they can still inflict excruciating pain without killing the person!"

Que'er's face turned pale.

Li Qingluo said, "That's not right."

She stared at Prince Su and noticed that he looked strange.

He had no intention of actually torturing this vicious woman, he must have other plans...

However, Duan Rongshi did not say anything until the vicious woman was tied to the pillar.

The executioner came forward and asked, "Your Highness, should we cut off your face first, or your body?"

If you cut your face, one cut will completely disfigure you.

In order to cut off the flesh from her body, all her clothes must be taken off first. Regardless of how much flesh is cut off, as long as the guards in the room have seen it, the woman's innocence will be ruined.

Duan Rongshi propped up his chin and asked Ku Lianqiao, "This king is giving you a chance. It's up to you to choose. Do you want to give up your body first, or give up your face first?"

The vicious woman Ku Lianqiao finally changed her expression and cursed angrily: "Duan Rongshi, you beast! You use these despicable and shameful means, you might as well just kill me——"

Leng Dian stepped forward and slapped him.

The corner of Ku Lianqiao's mouth was instantly broken and blood flowed out.

"You daring sinner! How dare you call our Prince Su's name?"

"If you dare to be so presumptuous again, your tongue will be the first thing I'll cut off!"

Ku Lianqiao was so angry that her eyes widened, but she didn't dare to shout anymore.

Duan Rongshi: "Kill you? Wouldn't killing you be too easy for you?"

"The greatest pleasure in this life for me is to torture those of you who deserve death, making you endure unbearable pain, wanting to live but unable to, wanting to rest but unable to, until in the end, you are forced to exchange the truth for a chance at liberation in order to seek death."

"So don't worry, I won't let you die."

"First, I'll cut you a hundred times, then hang you bloodied under the bell tower, letting the entire city of Jinling gather around to watch your 'Beauty Bathed in Blood'."

"If you're still not satisfied, I'll chop your hands and feet into a paste, boil it into soup, and give it to the person you care about most..."

"Tell me, do you want to give it to that stinky Taoist Qingyangzi, or to your fellow disciples?"

Ku Lianqiao's expression changed slightly. "You...you...don't try to scare me! Although not many people in this world know about the relationship between you, Prince Su, and that Taoist priest, I know that you two are definitely more than just superficial acquaintances!"

"You were close friends when you were young. After Qing Yangzi became a Taoist priest, you often appeared in that Taoist temple..."

Duan Rongshi: "So you admit that you approached Qing Yangzi with ulterior motives from the beginning?"

"Did you hear that, Qingyangzi?"

"Bring him out."

With the sound of heavy iron chains, a man covered in blood and flesh was dragged out from a dark corner.

After seeing the man's face clearly, Ku Lianqiao screamed: "Ah——!!!"

Because this person was none other than Qing Yangzi, who had been tortured to the point of being worse than death.

Qing Yangzi's left hand had been stripped of flesh and bones, and even the bones of the entire palm were gone, leaving only an arm bone that had been sharpened.

If he still had the strength to lift his arm to commit suicide, it would be a weapon.

But at this moment, he probably didn't even have the strength to commit suicide. He could only hang his head and be dragged out by the jailer like a dead dog and thrown to the ground.

Seeing that the once extremely charming young Taoist priest had become like this, Ku Lianqiao could not accept it at all.

She began to scream at the top of her lungs: "What did you do to him? Why is this happening? You're lying to me, right? This is all fake. You're just putting on a show for me!"

"Qingyangzi, get up, get up! You bastard, aren't you one of Prince Su's men? How could you be tortured like this? Are you deliberately seeking revenge on me for that Pei Twelve Mother?"

"Answer me—"

However, no matter how she screamed, Qing Yangzi just lay motionless on the ground.

Leng Dian stepped forward, grabbed Qing Yangzi's head, and revealed his bloody face.

"Master, did you hear that?"

"This woman knew everything clearly from the beginning to the end."

"She knows something that no one else in this world knows. She knows that you and His Highness were once close friends."

"She calculated that you would not suffer any hardship at the hands of His Highness."

"But she hadn't considered anything except that you would become this inhuman, half-demon-like person in order to protect her, believe in her innocence, and take the blame for her."

"A Taoist priest of high status and leisure would rather fall into the mortal world for such a witch."

"The Taoist priest has now disregarded the restoration of his family and is determined to take the death penalty for this witch and the murder of the Twelve Lady of the Pei Family. Is it really worth it?"

"She's been using you from the beginning to the end..."

Hearing these words, Ku Lianqiao was about to go crazy.

"I, I didn't... I wasn't..."

However, Qing Yangzi's clear eyes just stared at Ku Lianqiao quietly.

It seemed as if he had no regrets about everything he did.

Ku Lianqiao shed tears of sorrow.

"Why...why..."

Qing Yangzi moved his lips, but when he opened his mouth, it was pitch black and he couldn't utter a single word.

Leng Dian smiled: "Oh, I forgot. It turns out that the Taoist priest's tongue has been cut off a long time ago."

"Just a few days ago, it was made into a snack and sent to this witch."

"Is it delicious? That plate of braised pig tongue..."

Leng Dian curled the corners of his lips strangely, but turned his head and vomited out of disgust at the bitter forsythia.

As she vomited, she murmured bitterly, "I didn't know...you were such a responsible man..."

"It's all me, it's all me..."

Duan Rongshi seemed to have lost all patience.

He suddenly wiggled his fingers lightly and said coldly, "Do it."

"Since they are both so stubborn, let this unfortunate pair of mandarin ducks watch how each other is tortured."

After saying that, the executioner walked towards Ku Lianqiao with the knife in hand.

The other man holding a machete pressed Qing Yangzi's other hand to the ground.

Ku Lianqiao watched this scene in panic. She kept looking at Qing Yangzi, and found that his eyes were still looking at her with affection. The bitterness in her heart suddenly flooded her like a mountain and a sea...

Just as the machete was about to fall, Ku Lianqiao finally stopped it with a scream, "I said—!"

"I said……"

"It was indeed me who poisoned Pei Twelve Niang!"

"Qing Yangzi and I are in love and will be getting married soon. But then I learned that he already has a young wife and has never written a letter of annulment."

"I was jealous, and because Minister Pei caused a scene at the Taoist temple that day, I did this impulsively..."

"But Pei Twelve Niang's death really has nothing to do with me—"

Ku Lianqiao told the truth with tears in her eyes, and it was also the first time she admitted that she had poisoned the chestnut cake.

However, Prince Su did not completely believe her words.

He moved his fingers expressionlessly: "Continue."

After he finished speaking, a machete fell, blood splattered everywhere, and Qing Yangzi's entire arm was chopped off.

His eyes widened, and he was sweating profusely in an instant, groaning silently with his mouth open.

Immediately afterwards, the whole person fainted and fell to the ground.

Prince Su impatiently ordered someone to drag him away.

"Tomorrow, continue chopping off the legs."

"Until the end, I'll turn him into a human pig and soak him in a water tank. What do you think?"

Prince Su asked about the bitter forsythia.

Ku Lianqiao was almost driven crazy by the scene just now.

"What else do you want to know? You're asking me why, why do you have to destroy him—"

"You beast—you're not even human—do you have any feelings or flesh and blood?!"

"In this world, no one will be sincere to you——"

"You are a devil!"

"woo woo woo woo……"

Prince Su: "I can give him a quick death. But I said, as long as you tell the truth."

"If your words satisfy this king, perhaps this king can show some mercy and allow you two to truly meet again before you die, considering your past acquaintance and friendship with Qing Yangzi."

"Are you going to say it or not?"

Ku Lianqiao thought that Qingyangzi's suffering was all caused by herself, and suddenly the guilt and pain in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

She had already lost all her strength, and now, filled with endless sorrow, she replied, "I... I'll tell you everything... that's it..."

Prince Su: "Is Maitreya's poison from your master?"

Ku Lianqiao nodded bitterly: "No... that is a poison from the Western Regions, it certainly has nothing to do with my sect."

Prince Su: "But you know this poison."

"So, the Maitreya poison that Pei Twelve Niang consumed before her death was caused by you?"
