Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

The old man's eyes widened in fury, and he stepped aside to block the old woman.

However, Wang An kicked him aside first, then stared intently into his eyes with a smug grin.

When he finally saw the satisfaction in the old man's eyes, he burst into laughter, and the knife he was wielding against the old woman became even more ruthless.

"What are you doing!"

An impatient, cold shout suddenly rang out.

The sound made Wang An stumble and stop wielding his knife once again.

His face was full of impatience. He turned around abruptly, picked up his knife, and pointed it at the person who had spoken, shouting angrily:

"Who's blind? Find them!"

Before he could even utter the word "death," he was so frightened that he froze for a moment, then instantly knelt on the ground, trembling all over as he repeatedly kowtowed.

"Your subordinate deserves to die, your subordinate deserves to die! Your subordinate was unaware of the princess's arrival and unintentionally offended her. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

"enough!"

Gong Beige shouted in disgust.

"What's going on? I've been waiting for so long, why haven't I heard anything yet!"

Wang An shuddered again in fright, but crawled forward two steps and said hurriedly:

"Your Highness, it's all because of these unruly people. They're so hateful and stubborn, refusing to confess. I've searched the entire village several times, but I still can't find them."

Gong Beige glanced at him with disgust, her voice cold and piercing:

"Useless things, if they won't speak, is there no way to make them speak?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the villagers who were crouching on the ground, trembling. Then, pointing at a pregnant woman, he smirked and said:

"Men, cut this woman's stomach open first. If no one confesses, then cut them into a thousand pieces one by one. I want to see how long they can keep up their stubbornness!"

After she gave the order, a guard walked towards the pregnant woman, grabbed her hair, and dragged her out of the crowd.

The pregnant woman wailed, but still desperately tried to protect her belly.

The woman's husband rushed to grab her hands, trying to protect her, but the guards chopped off both of his hands with a single stroke, and he rolled on the ground howling in pain.

The horrific scene terrified the villagers, who trembled like leaves. Some even closed their eyes and covered their ears, too afraid to look.

Gong Beige's eyes, however, were filled with excitement as he stared at the woman's belly and smiled at Granny Chang, who was following behind him:

"Tell me, was it a boy or a girl when they were cut open?"

Granny Chang smiled and chimed in:

"Regardless of gender, they are all lowly beings. Your Highness, you should not look at them; do not offend your eyes."

Gong Beige smiled and waved his hand:

"It's alright. Too many unpleasant things have happened lately, and it's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting scene. Go, bring me my chair. I want to see if these lowly people can keep up their stubbornness."

Before he finished speaking, someone had already brought him a chair.

Gong Beige gracefully sat down and nodded slightly to the guard who was still pulling the pregnant woman's hair to prevent her from moving:

"let's start!"

Without hesitation, the guard drew his sword and brandished it at the woman's protruding belly.

The pregnant woman's eyes were bloodshot with despair, tears streaming down her face, while her hands were being trampled underfoot by two other guards, one on each side.

No matter how hard she tried to twist her body, she couldn't move an inch.

The man, whose hands had been severed, writhed, trying to reach out and protect his wife and children, but he couldn't stand up at all.

The scene was so moving that many people present, including some officers and soldiers, couldn't bear to look away.

Just as the guard found the right angle and prepared to thrust, Gong Beige suddenly said again:

"Wait a moment!"

The guard was taken aback and looked at Gong Beige:

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

Just as everyone was anticipating whether she would have a change of heart, Gong Beige's eyes gleamed with excitement, a cruel smile playing on her lips, and she said, word by word:

"Remember, cut her open little by little, don't kill her all at once. Make sure she doesn't die before she sees her child; consider it a favor I'm bestowing upon her!"

The faint hope that had flickered in the woman's eyes vanished instantly, and she closed her eyes in despair, losing all vitality.

The guard nodded obsequiously:

"Your Highness, rest assured, my knife skills are renowned and will never disappoint you."

Without further hesitation, he raised his knife and stabbed down.

Hahahaha~~~~~

A cold, deep laugh grew louder and louder, drawing everyone's attention.

The guard's knife stopped an inch from the pregnant woman's belly.

Wang An turned his head and saw that the person laughing wildly was the old man from before. Immediately wanting to impress Gong Beige, he picked up the knife from the ground, raised it high, and charged at the old man, shouting:

"You audacious commoner, how dare you offend Her Highness the Princess! You deserve to die!"

"Ah~"

Accompanied by a scream.

Just before Wang An could strike the old man, he was kicked away and flew off his feet in pain, rolling on the ground.

Gong Beige nodded slightly to the shadow guard:

"well done!"

The shadow guard lowered his head and remained silent, slowly retreating behind her.

Gong Beige strode up to the old man, stared at his face intently for a long time, and then said to Granny Chang:

"Come and see, is he the one?"

Granny Chang squinted at the old man for a while before smiling and nodding to Gong Beige:

“Your Highness, it’s true. This old servant has spent his whole life in the palace and I would never be wrong. He is Fu Qingyu.”

Gong Beige clapped his hands and burst into laughter:

"This is truly a case of 'searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to me effortlessly!' Excellent, excellent, finally some good news!"

Fu Qingyu stared at Gong Beige with disdain, her voice filled with disgust:

"Having a princess like you is truly a tragedy for our Great Yong Dynasty."

Gong Beige's sinister gaze was fixed on Fu Qingyu, filled with resentment and malice.

"Old man, you really know how to hide. Now that you're in my hands, I'd like to see whether your stubbornness or my methods are stronger!"
