Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

“Yes,” Yun Nuo replied with some concern. Everyone knew that most of those who could withstand the Empress Dowager’s severe torture ended up paralyzed.

Chu Yingge felt a chill run down her spine. Looking at the sinister smile on Lin Wan's face, she could roughly guess what was going on. Sure enough, she couldn't escape physical pain!

However, she wasn't afraid. In the 21st century, she had also gone through all kinds of interrogations, including electric shocks, drugs, and beatings.

However, when Chu Yingge saw Lin Wan's torture instruments, she couldn't help but swallow hard. Sure enough, most women who could rise to high positions were vicious people.

Large and small silver needles, soaked in chili water, are enough to send chills down your spine just by looking at them.

Chu Yingge was no stranger to needle torture. In the well-known TV series "Princess Pearl" in the 21st century, there was such a scene where Rong Momo almost killed Ziwei with silver needles. However, Lin Wan was clearly a level above Rong Momo.

The wounds caused by the silver needles were small and difficult to detect. If it were just a silver needle, Chu Yingge would not be afraid. However, the silver needles were quenched with chili water.

There's an old saying about rubbing salt into a wound, but chili water is far more lethal than salt water.

Lin Wan kept a close eye on Chu Yingge's expression from the moment the torture instruments were taken out.

Most people would have gone limp at the sight of this instrument of torture, and even the slightly more stubborn would have shown fear. But the person in front of him only frowned slightly.

Yes, he only frowned slightly.

"What? Aren't you afraid of these instruments of torture?"

"Does the Empress Dowager want me to be afraid?" Chu Yingge retorted, her eyes full of sarcasm.

Previously, she thought Lin Wan was very similar to herself, but now it seems that was just her imagination. How could Lin Wan compare to her!

"Your Majesty, if you wish to carry out the execution, then please do so quickly, after all... I am still waiting to get married."

"You!" Lin Wan was furious. She was already angered by Chu Yingge's simple and honest nature, but she didn't expect to be ignored like this. As the most noble woman in the world, how could she allow her pride to be trampled on by others?

With a cold laugh, Lin Wan's expression turned somewhat manic: "What a tough nut to crack! Today, I'll grind your bones to dust, bit by bit, and see if you still dare to be so arrogant!"

As soon as Lin Wan called out, two or three burly men walked in from outside Lianxi Palace and roughly forced Chu Yingge to kneel on the ground. Yun Nuo stood to the side, holding a basin of chili water filled with silver needles, looking at Chu Yingge kneeling on the ground with some regret.

Chu Yingge had expected Lin Wan to use torture on her, but she hadn't expected Lin Wan to do it herself.

Wiping her hands with a handkerchief she had prepared beforehand, Lin Wan walked up to Chu Yingge, holding a silver needle in one hand and pinching Chu Yingge's chin with the other, her smile almost manic.

"Today I will let you taste what it means to wish you were dead!"

"As long as Your Majesty is happy." Although Chu Yingge was somewhat afraid, she still maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

This completely enraged Lin Wan, who then stabbed Chu Yinge hard in the shoulder with a silver needle. As if that wasn't enough, she slowly twisted the silver needle around on Chu Yinge's shoulder.

At first, Chu Yinge didn't feel anything from being pricked by a needle, but as the chili water slowly took effect, and Lin Wan increased the pressure, even someone as tough as Chu Yinge couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

"Hiss!" Chu Yingge gasped, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Lin Wan.

It had been a long time since anyone had treated her like this. She would never forget this excruciating pain!

If she gets out of here alive, she will definitely make Lin Wan suffer in the future!

"Your Majesty had better kill me today, rather than let me live a wretched life. Otherwise, I will definitely take my revenge tenfold in the future!"

"Still dare to be stubborn... Since that's the case, then today I won't let the tiger return to the mountain."

As Lin Wan spoke, she struck Chu Yingge's back several more times, replacing one silver needle when it wasn't enough. Before long, Chu Yingge's back was burning with excruciating pain.

Large beads of sweat dripped from Chu Yingge's forehead onto the ground, quickly soaking a large area. Her clothes were also soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to her wounds and making the pain even more intense.

With her lips tightly pressed together, Chu Yingge clenched her hands so tightly that her nails dug bloody marks into her palms. Her eyes, filled with hatred, stared straight at Lin Wan, exuding murderous intent and deep-seated malice.

Lin Wan had never been stared at like this before, and for a moment she felt a little flustered. Back then, that person had stared at her like this, saying that he would never let her go, even if it meant death.

Noticing her mistress's unusual behavior, Yun Nuo stepped forward gently and whispered, "Your Majesty, shall we continue?"

"Of course." Lin Wan quickly came back to her senses, looked at Yun Nuo beside her to calm herself down, and let out a long breath.

"Use up the silver needles in this basin and then let her go back. I'm a little tired today!" With that, Lin Wan put down the silver needles in her hand and walked towards the inner palace.

Watching Lin Wan's departing figure, Chu Yingge finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened her mouth, and blood immediately began to spill from her lips.

In order not to lose face in front of Lin Wan, she had been clenching her teeth so tightly that they bled.

Yunnuo looked at the basin of chili water in her hand and hesitated. There were at least a hundred silver needles in it. If she used them all on the person in front of her, he would probably die.

But Lin Wan was her master, so she had no choice but to obey.

"Ninth Miss, please forgive me." Yun Luo said, picking up the silver needles from the basin and aiming them at Chu Yingge.

Lin Wan held a single silver needle, while Yun Nuo held a bundle. The bundle had a larger contact area and could use many needles at once, effectively reducing the pain many times over. This was the only way she could help Chu Yingge.

The silver needles landed on Chu Yingge's body, and even the force became much lighter.

Chu Yingge looked at Yun Nuo with some doubt, but ultimately did not ask any further questions.

Yun Nuo kept her head down, ignoring Chu Yingge's questioning gaze, and focused only on carrying out the execution, but her eyes clearly showed her reluctance.

Although she was someone close to Lin Wan, she was not as ruthless as Lin Wan.

At this time, Yun Nuo had no idea that it was because she had shown mercy that her future days would not be so difficult.

The silver needles fell one after another on Chu Yingge's body. Although Yun Nuo reduced the intensity, the pain still made Chu Yingge faint.

Seeing the unconscious person on the ground, Yun Nuo put away the silver needles and walked towards the inner hall.

Inside the inner palace, Lin Wan lay on a chaise lounge, her expression shifting between light and dark, as if she were recalling something unpleasant.

Noticing someone enter, he merely frowned slightly but did not open his eyes.

"What is it?" Lin Wan asked softly.
