Why are you messing with her? Her mission is to bully the scumbag

Ling Jinxing was dressed in a luxurious brocade robe and walked steadily through the intricate corridors of the palace. After the banquet, he did not stay for long, but went straight back to his bedroom.

It was late at night, and the moonlight filtered through the delicate window lattices, spilling onto the smooth floor, adding a touch of coolness to the silent palace.

Soon, Changsun Luoxin also arrived quietly. She was wearing an elegant long dress and walked lightly. As soon as she entered the door, she sat directly on the chair opposite Ling Jinxing with a solemn expression.

"Royal sister, Ning Tangshuang has indeed lost her patience and has begun to frequently invite the Fifth Prince into the palace. It seems her ambition can no longer be contained."

Ling Jinxing heard this and a faint smile played on her lips, her eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Everything has been going according to our previous arrangements lately, so she can't hide it anymore. Ning Tangshuang thought she had it all planned out, but she didn't realize we had everything under control."

"Then what should we do next?" Changsun Luoxin asked with a hint of urgency in his tone.

"Remember to ask father to visit Zhang Ruxue more often recently, and let the imperial physician release the news of her pregnancy in a few days." Ling Jinxing said lightly, as if everything was within his expectations.

Zhang Sun Luoxin paused for a moment, his brow furrowed. "Should we leave Lin Songjing to Zhang Ruxue? I'm always worried that she might be turned against him by Lin Songjing. After all, they once had a relationship."

Ling Jinxing chuckled upon hearing this, her eyes filled with amusement. "Whether to be a ghost or a human, that's her choice. Zhang Ruxue is a smart woman; she knows what's best for her. Lin Songjing is just a pawn in our hands. Whether she lives or dies depends entirely on how she moves."

After saying that, Ling Jinxing stood up and walked to the window, looking at the deep night sky outside, with complex light flashing in his eyes.

Changsun Luoxin also stood up and walked to Ling Jinxing. The two stood side by side, silently gazing at the quiet night, as if waiting for some important moment to arrive.

Inside the bedroom, the flickering candlelight stretched the two people's shadows.

"Royal sister! You've changed a lot." Zhangsun Luoxin's voice was particularly clear in the quiet night. She said lightly, her eyes revealing a hint of elusive emotion. "I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamed that you were chasing Lin Songjing all the time. In the end, because Lin Songjing was secretly communicating with the enemy country, you were killed by Lin Songjing..."

Ling Jinxing frowned slightly upon hearing this, then relaxed. She raised her eyes to the bright moon and spoke calmly and indifferently, "Maybe you're just thinking too much. There's always a gap between dreams and reality. I'll go to the Heavenly Prison to see Lin Songjing later. There are some things I still need to confirm in person."

The sky prison was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a disgusting musty smell.

When the chain of the gate was slowly opened, Lin Songjing, who was inside, immediately stood up alertly. His eyes were fixed on the light of the lantern that was gradually lighting up at the corner, and an inexplicable expectation surged in his heart.

Could it be that someone was coming to rescue him? This thought flashed through his mind, but when he looked towards the door with hope, he saw Ling Jinxing's delicate and indifferent face, and his face suddenly darkened.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Songjing's voice was filled with resentment and anger. He didn't expect that the person who came was her.

Ling Jinxing raised her eyes slightly, and the eunuch behind her immediately brought a chair. She sat on it with an elegant and calm posture.

"Bring the man out and tie him up!" she ordered calmly.

The young eunuchs immediately stepped forward, rudely escorted Lin Songjing out of prison, and then tied him to the rack without mercy.

On one side was a blazing charcoal fire, as well as red-hot hooks and iron plates of various shapes, emitting bursts of heart-pounding heat.

"Changsun Luoyue, what are you doing here?" There was a hint of despair and anger in Lin Songjing's voice. He tried to struggle, but was tied up so tightly that he couldn't move at all.

Before Ling Jinxing could say anything, the young eunuch standing beside him raised his hand and slapped Lin Songjing hard in the face.

"Are you qualified to call the princess by her name?" the young eunuch's voice was sharp and harsh.

The next second, the red-hot iron was pressed directly on Lin Songjing's body.

"Ah..." Lin Songjing let out a shrill scream. When the red-hot iron touched his flesh, bursts of white smoke instantly emerged and a burnt smell filled the air.

Ling Jinxing looked at Lin Songjing leisurely, a playful smile on his lips, "Why hasn't he learned his lesson yet? Go on, and we'll talk about it when he learns to be polite."

With Ling Jinxing's instructions, the young eunuchs and jailers began to torture Lin Songjing.

They were very skilled, and each blow accurately hit Lin Songjing's sore spot, causing him to scream in agony.

It wasn't until the third branding iron mercilessly branded him that Lin Songjing finally broke down and began to beg for mercy: "Princess, please let me go! I beg you! It was all my fault before. I was possessed by the devil. Please give me a chance to reform!"

Ling Jinxing raised his hand and signaled them to stop for the time being.

She walked up to Lin Songjing, her eyes piercing, "What are the Ning family planning to do? Where are their hidden forces? Tell me!"

Lin Songjing gritted his teeth, enduring the severe pain in his body. "I really don't know what the Ning family is planning to do! They act in a secretive way, and I have no access to their core secrets at all."

Ling Jinxing raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the eunuch beside him, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, "Keep going until he is willing to speak."

"Don't, don't do it!" Lin Songjing begged for mercy immediately. His voice was hoarse and his eyes were full of fear. "I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

Ling Jinxing waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Suddenly, only she and Lin Songjing were left in the dungeon, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing.

"How does it feel to be a prisoner?" Ling Jinxing's voice echoed in the empty dungeon, with a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.

Lin Songjing raised his eyes and looked at Ling Jinxing, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, Ling Jinxing continued, "Why? Have you accepted your own fate so soon after being reborn?"

Lin Songjing's pupils dilated slightly, and he looked at her in shock, "How did you know..."

She chuckled and snapped her fingers.

Suddenly, all the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the sky prison ran out from all directions. They rushed towards Lin Songjing frantically and surrounded him.

"Little cuties, haven't you eaten in a while? Let's eat something fresh today!" As soon as Ling Jinxing's voice fell, the snakes, insects, rats and ants couldn't wait to crawl onto Lin Songjing's body. They densely covered his body, making creepy squeaking sounds.

“Ah…get away, get away!”

Lin Songjing screamed in horror. He struggled hard, but unfortunately he couldn't get rid of these things at all.
