After saying that, he first asked someone to clean up the water marks on the ground, and then asked someone to bring a set of special torture instruments.

These torture instruments don't look big, but they are of different shapes and are neatly placed on a wooden pallet with a layer of white linen underneath, which makes people even more frightened.

Someone respectfully brought a chair over, and Wang Zhi sat on it. He said calmly, "Let's get started. First, pull out two of her nails. If she still refuses to speak, pull out the rest."

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately picked up a pair of oddly shaped pliers, walked up to the palace maid, and grabbed her left hand.

The palace maid was so frightened that her whole body was trembling, but before she could react, she felt a sharp pain at the tip of her left little finger!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

She wanted to scream in pain, but her mouth was stuffed with something, so she could only make painful whimpers.

The man did not hesitate and quickly pulled out the nail of her left ring finger.

The maid trembled with pain, her pupils dilated. She thought of those gentle and affectionate eyes, and suddenly she felt endless despair and guilt in her heart.

Sorry, I can't hold on any longer.

It really hurts.

The palace maid burst into tears and felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

Not only did her fingertips hurt, but her heart also hurt so much that she couldn't even breathe.

Feeling that breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, the palace maid suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She opened her eyes wide in horror and opened her mouth to breathe, but suddenly a sharp pain came from her heart, causing her vision to go black and she lost consciousness instantly.

At this time, the executioner was preparing to remove the foreign object stuffed in her mouth.

Seeing her eyes suddenly widen and become lifeless, he immediately realized something was wrong and quickly reached out to check her pulse and breathing.

Wang Zhi noticed something was wrong and quickly stood up and stepped forward, demanding, "What's going on? What happened to her?"

The man turned around, his face pale. "Eunuch Wang...Eunuch Wang...she...she's dead..."

"How could this happen?" Wang Zhi was unwilling to believe this result. "Wasn't she fine before? How could she suddenly die?"

The man was trembling with fear: "Slave...slave didn't know...her eyes suddenly widened, and then she died..."

Wang Zhi pushed him away in disgust, carefully checked the maid's pulse and breathing, and touched her chest without giving up. He found that she was indeed dead, and he was so angry that he overturned the tray next to him.

Countless torture instruments of various shapes fell on the stone brick ground, making a clanging sound.

Wang Zhi felt extremely annoyed and troubled after hearing this.

This bitch died just like that, how is he going to explain to His Majesty?

Despite his fear, Wang Zhi forced himself to calm down quickly, ordered people to guard the body, and then went to report to Emperor Taihe.

When Emperor Taihe learned that the palace maid had died suddenly, he was furious: "How do you do things? You can't even take care of a person? Didn't I say that I must pry open her mouth?"

Wang Zhi knelt on the ground, not daring to defend himself, and only said: "Your Majesty, I suspect that the palace maid had been poisoned long ago, and this time she was silenced by the person behind the scenes!

I have ordered someone to guard her body. After the coroner conducts a thorough examination, perhaps we will be able to determine the true cause of her death."

"Then let the coroner perform an autopsy immediately!"

Emperor Taihe was extremely angry. "I want to know how they managed to silence that lowly maid in the deep palace, under heavy guard!"

Wang Zhi knew that he was angry and did not dare to stay any longer, so he quickly took the order and left.

When the eldest princess came to ask for an audience, Emperor Taihe was very angry.

He endured it again and again before summoning the eldest princess.

Seeing his unhappy face, the princess' heart tightened. "My royal brother looks so unhappy, could it be that something unexpected happened at the border?"

Emperor Taihe frowned, feeling increasingly unhappy. "Why do you think something unexpected happened at the border?"

Seeing that he was actually taking his anger out on her, the princess felt even more anxious. "I heard that the Black Kirin Guards were galloping into the palace. I was worried about something happening at the border, so I came to the palace specifically to ask to see my brother."
