After rebirth, she remarried the crazy-criticizing emperor's uncle: she doted on him to the bon

Wu Yinshuang's face was filled with fear, and his body involuntarily retreated backwards -

She cried out in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I really don't know what the antidote is. Please spare my life!"

However, Xiao Muli's face was as gloomy as water, and his deep eyes were so cold that they seemed to be able to freeze everything in the world, like an extremely sharp ice knife in the cold winter.

"I'll give you one last chance. If you still refuse to confess, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

There was no warmth in Xiao Muli's tone, which was chilling.

"Your Majesty, I truly do not know what a sin I have committed."

Although his heart was filled with fear, Wu Yinshuang still gritted his teeth and insisted that he was innocent.

Seeing this, Xiao Muli finally lost his last patience.

He raised his right hand slightly and waved it gently downwards.

After receiving the order, several guards standing in the hall immediately stepped forward. They held a set of bamboo sticks that gleamed with cold light in their hands and walked straight to Wu Yinshuang.

Then, regardless of her struggles and pleas for mercy, he put the set of bamboo sticks tightly on her slender and delicate fingers without saying anything!

"What are you doing? Stop it! Let me go!"

Wu Yinshuang was so frightened when she saw this that her face turned pale. She screamed at the top of her lungs, trying to break free from the restraints.

But the guards turned a deaf ear to her shouting, silently reaching out to grab the other end of the rope tied to the bamboo stick, and then pulled it to both sides mercilessly.

"Ahhhh!!!"

In an instant, the sharp barbs on the bamboo sticks embedded deeply into the tender flesh of Wu Yinshuang's fingertips. The piercing pain instantly spread throughout her body. She could no longer endure such torture and screamed miserably at the top of her lungs!

She screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice becoming increasingly shrill and sharp, but the two executioners were not affected at all, and their movements became increasingly violent.

Time passed minute by minute, and before long, she could no longer bear the immense pain and begged for mercy loudly: "I'm telling you, I'm telling you! Please stop!"

Seeing this, Xiao Muli, who had been standing aside and watching coldly, narrowed his eyes slightly and gave the people below a cold and sharp look.

The two men immediately understood what he meant and quickly withdrew and stepped aside.

Xiao Muli stared expressionlessly at the tortured woman gasping for breath before him, and said coldly, "Speak."

At this moment, Wu Yinshuang had already been consumed by fear and pain!

She was trembling all over and did not dare to delay for a moment. She quickly told Wu Yanzhen everything, including how he found her and how he instigated her to poison Wu Qingyue.

However, Xiao Muli knew the whole story very well, because he had already learned the truth of the whole incident through the royal guards. Now he was most concerned about only one issue, which was -

"Where is the antidote?"

Hearing these words, Wu Yinshuang's face instantly turned as pale as paper!

She replied tremblingly, "...No...there is no antidote."

When Xiao Muli heard this, his already extremely gloomy face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, which was chilling.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "How dare you tease me?"

"No, I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty! There is absolutely no antidote! It was that incredibly foolish woman Wu Yanzhen who completely destroyed the antidote before she even poisoned me!"

As Wu Yinshuang spoke, he kowtowed desperately, and a bruise soon appeared on his forehead.

Xiao Muli snorted coldly, a murderous look flashing in his eyes. "If that's the case, then what's the point of keeping you here? Come on, drag her away and give her a white silk scarf! Let her end her life on her own!"

"Yes!"

As the guards responded in unison, two strong men came forward, grabbed Wu Yinshuang's arms mercilessly, and tried to drag her out.

Wu Yinshuang was terrified. Her eyes widened and she screamed in despair, "I'm telling the truth! This was all orchestrated by that bitch Wu Yanzhen. Your Majesty, why did you want to kill me???"

The man's face was as gloomy as water. He seemed to be deaf to her hoarse words and stood there indifferently, motionless.

"No—no—please let me go, I don't want to die—"

The woman's face was filled with horror, tears streaming down her face like a dam bursting!

However, no matter how hard she begged, she was eventually dragged away from the scene by them.

Xiao Muli, who hadn't found the antidote, felt increasingly depressed. His brows furrowed in a knot, his heart filled with an indescribable sense of frustration. Especially when the image of the woman still unconscious surfaced in his mind, his anxiety surged like a tidal wave, and he could no longer maintain his usual composure.

He suddenly raised his feet and ran out the door in a hurry.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the side hall was quite different.

"Miss, there's no one outside now. Please get up and walk around."

After Xiao Tao carefully closed the door, she quickly walked to the bedside and called out softly in a low voice to the woman lying on the bed as motionless as a "corpse".

When the woman on the bed heard this, she sat up suddenly as if she had been electrocuted. Her movement was so fast that it was astonishing!

"Phew...I'm so exhausted."

She was breathing heavily and complaining constantly, but at the same time she did not forget to stretch her arms, twist her waist, and exercise her muscles that seemed to be almost stiff.

Seeing this, Xiao Tao couldn't help but look worried, and said helplessly: "My lady, you are really too bold this time. If others find out that you are actually pretending to be unconscious, especially if His Majesty knows about this, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

However, facing Xiao Tao's concerns, the woman seemed unconcerned, even snorting disdainfully, and retorted disapprovingly: "If we don't do this, how can we let Wu Yanzhen and Wu Yinshuang, those two women, capsize in the gutter?"

After she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile.

After hearing this, Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, then scratched her head with her hand. After thinking carefully, she seemed to think that what the young lady said was not unreasonable. So she said no more, just stood quietly by and watched her young lady continue to stretch her body.

"Alright, alright, bring me some food! I'm starving!"

When Xiao Tao heard this, she didn't dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly ran over to bring the steaming and fragrant food over.

The woman couldn't wait to reach out and grab the chopsticks, then began to gobble up the food like a whirlwind, devouring it with relish!
