Who is the white moonlight these days? We are just following the plot

Over time, many people have forgotten that he is the "Green-faced King of Hell" who kills people without blinking an eye.

"Bring Su Jinyun's wet nurse up here."

The trembling nurse hiding in the corner was escorted to the hall. Before the prefect could question her, she cried out like a shrew: "Your Highness, please don't wrongly accuse my young lady. It's not her fault. Please, Your Highness, please, Your Highness, please, my young lady is innocent."

No matter how loud she screamed, no one in the hall responded.

"Come here, beat her with a stick until she confesses the truth."

Caning is a form of torture, and twenty strokes can kill a person. King Ruiping did not specify how many strokes he would be caned, which means that the caning cannot stop unless he shouts "stop".

This is aimed at the wet nurse's life.

"Miss, Miss, help me, Miss, I can't bear it anymore." The wet nurse struggled desperately, flapping her head and tail like a dying fish, but she was held down by four servants and could not move at all.

Su Jinyun bit her lower lip, closed her eyes and turned her head away, without begging for mercy.

After the first beating, the nurse realized that the prince was serious and had no regard for reason and was determined to force her to confess.

With the second and third hits, the nurse's screams like a pig being slaughtered resounded throughout the courtyard.

Su Jinyun covered her ears with her hands, slumped to the ground, and didn't dare to look at the nanny.

The tenth blow brought the nurse to her deathbed, blood gushing from her throat. She begged hoarsely, "I confess, I confess. It was the young lady who ordered Madam Li to poison the princess. The aconite in Madam Li's room wasn't from Su Ji's Pharmacy, but from Dachuntang, just down the street."

Dachuntang?

The prefect frowned. No wonder they didn't find any clues at Su's Pharmacy. It turned out that the Aconitum came from Dachuntang.

"Come here, bring the owner of Dachuntang here." The prefect ordered.

"Yes."

The bailiffs took people to Dachuntang to arrest people, and the prefect ordered the wet nurse's testimony to be recorded.

The wet nurse's face was pale and she was half breath away. Her mouth was opening and closing, but only air was coming in but not out.

The prefect read the testimony again in her ear.

"I'm asking you, do you have any objections to what's written in the testimony?"

The nurse half-opened her eyes, saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth: "No...no."

"Okay, sign and put your fingerprints on it."

The wet nurse's hands were shaking so much that she couldn't lift them up, so the servants who were carrying out the execution grabbed her and forced her to press her fingerprints.

The prefect took the signed testimony and presented it to Li Heng: "Your Highness, this is the testimony. The evidence is irrefutable that Su Jinyun murdered the Queen."

Li Heng stood up and walked in front of Su Jinyun.

Su Jinyun lowered her head to the ground, not daring to look up at him.

Suddenly, her hair was grabbed and pulled back, and when she raised her face, Li Heng's tiger's mouth was stuck on her neck.

"Su-Jin-Yun."

Li Heng's hatred was like a raging fire, burning Su Jinyun to ashes.

Her chin was pinched by Li Heng so hard that it made a crackling sound, and the lower half of her face was almost deformed.

"Xingyao has no grudge against you, why do you want to harm her?"

Li Heng's eyes were bloodshot and red enough to drip out of them.

"Um, um..." Su Jinyun slapped Li Heng's arm desperately, but he was as strong as a diamond, and Su Jinyun was unable to shake him at all.

The sawdust that was originally embedded in Li Heng's palm scraped against Su Jinyun's face, leaving a bright red blood stain on her chin. It was impossible to tell whether it was hers or Li Heng's.

After Li Heng committed self-harm, he could no longer lift the heavy sword with his left hand, but the strength of his right hand remained the same as before.

The fear in Su Jinyun's eyes almost overflowed. She had never seen Li Heng so terrifying.

Due to an opportunity when he was young, Su Jinyun saved Li Heng's life.

As her savior, Li Heng always treated her with kindness and courtesy, as well as the Su family.

Ever since they learned that Li Heng was Prince Ruiping and the emperor's only biological brother, the Su family began to have inappropriate thoughts.

Su Jinyun has long passed the marriageable age. She looks down on men from ordinary families, and she cannot marry into aristocratic families.

Li Heng, the Prince of Ruiping, who fell from the sky, became the only tree she could cling to.

Taking advantage of the life-saving grace and the naive love in her youth, Su Jinyun began to get close to Li Heng intentionally or unintentionally.

However, Li Heng was a gentleman, and before she married him, the two had never had any physical contact.

On the wedding night, Li Heng had just lifted the red veil on Su Jinyun's head when he was interrupted by the steward knocking on the door in a panic.
