Chapter 374: 1 Whip is also a punishment
Sky prison, torture chamber.
Four people representing different positions were all present: Sun Daquan from the Heavenly Prison, Huo Shui from the Imperial Guard, Qinghuan from the Kunning Palace... and the prisoner Luo Xiaoran.
Luo Xiaoran came here obediently from the cell, but none of the three people who wanted to interrogate her spoke first.
Since they didn't speak, Luo Xiaoran naturally remained silent as well. The longer she could delay, the better!
She is not stupid. How can she take the initiative to step forward and surrender?
"Hey guys, here I come! Come and ravage me!"
Luo Xiaoran felt a little sick from the little drama in her mind, but it somehow diluted the fear she had just felt from seeing those torture instruments.
Finally, Qinghuan couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in breaking the awkward silence in the torture room.
"Since Luo Xiaoran has been brought here, please ask the Heavenly Prison and the Imperial Guards to follow the Queen's order and begin the interrogation!"
After hearing this, Luo Xiaoran cooperated and walked to the iron cage and the standing tree, and even had the leisure to observe them carefully.
The white fingers rubbed on the standing tree and successfully wiped off a trace of blood. Then he put it under his nose and sniffed it. Luo Xiaoran was almost fainted by the fumes.
"Eunuch Sun even vacated the torture chamber specifically for me. He is really thoughtful!
I remember that the last time Princess Qingyi came, didn't Eunuch Sun send people to clean the torture room from top to bottom?
How long has it been since then, and it's already stained with thick blood again?"
Eunuch Sun first glanced at Qing Huan, and seeing that she did not look unhappy, he smiled dryly and said:
"This is not the big case of Red Coral. There are more prisoners to be interrogated, so the blood is thicker."
Luo Xiaoran nodded repeatedly, and then asked casually:
"This case involves the Queen's body, which is indeed an unforgivable crime. How many people have been arrested in total?"
"A total of... one hundred and thirty-six people." Eunuch Sun bowed and replied.
"I haven't seen so many people along the way?"
"Many of them could not bear it and have passed away."
Luo Xiaoran didn't ask any more questions, feeling a little stuffy in her chest.
If the Hong Shanhu case was really a setup targeting her, then these palace maids were all Bo Ren who died because of her.
But! She won't waste time on herself, and she won't think it's her fault.
The one who is wrong is the one behind the scenes!
What’s wrong is the torture in Tianlao!
What is wrong is this era where the lives of slaves are worthless!
"Miss Qinghuan, please read the Queen's order again."
Luo Xiaoran adjusted her state and faced Qinghuan directly.
Just now in front of Luo Xiaoran's cell, Eunuch Sun only roughly explained why Qinghuan came, and he was hesitant all the time.
But Luo Xiaoran has always liked to confront him directly. Qinghuan wanted to make her accept being tied up and beaten with just a few words - this was impossible!
Qing Huan was stunned for a moment. Although she felt that Luo Xiao Ran was hesitating, she still responded patiently:
"The Queen has ordered that this servant must watch Miss Luo being punished with her own eyes!
Her Majesty the Queen wants to know if it was you who applied the musk on the red coral?
After all, the red coral was given by you, Miss Luo."
That's it?
Luo Xiaoran decisively picked out the bloodstained whip from a pile of torture instruments and stuffed it into Eunuch Sun's hand.
Then, he stood between the two standing timbers very consciously and cooperatively, but he did not use the thick rope above his head to hang himself up.
If you lose the freedom of your hands, you will be too passive.
"Let's get started, Eunuch Sun!"
Eunuch Sun stared at the whip in his hand in amazement. It was the first time he saw someone being punished. It was really strange!
Qinghuan was also shocked by Luo Xiaoran's actions. She didn't care about the dignity of the first maid beside the queen, and frowned unconcealedly.
——I deeply feel that Luo Xiaoran... has an evil aura about her.
Huo Shui also thought that Luo Xiaoran was crazy. Didn't she know that the whip was soaked in salt water? Once the whip was used, the skin and flesh would be torn apart, and the salt water would flow through the wound, multiplying the pain.
"Quick!"
Seeing Eunuch Sun holding the whip in a daze, Luo Xiaoran couldn't help but urge him.
Eunuch Sun seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He glanced at Qinghuan and Wei An, then at Luo Xiaoran whose eyes revealed impatience. He swallowed and finally raised his hand.
"stop!"
At the last moment, Wei An suddenly appeared from nowhere and stood in front of Luo Xiaoran. Everyone at the scene was shocked.
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Sun hurriedly put away the whip in his hand and sighed inconspicuously after surviving a disaster.
He could not disobey the Queen's order, but he did not have the courage to torture Luo Xiaoran.
The only way is to let Wei An be punished first, as Wei An said before, to delay time and see if there is any chance of a turnaround.
After Qinghuan arrived, Eunuch Sun sent someone to find Emperor Tianqi, who should have arrived at the door of the imperial study by now.
If Emperor Tianqi sent people to stop it, then even the Queen's order would be of no effect.
Therefore, what Eunuch Sun needs most now is to delay time.
For this reason, when Eunuch Sun went to the cell to bring Luo Xiaoran out, he deliberately walked behind Luo Xiaoran and accidentally dropped the key to the cell on the ground.
And Wei An did not disappoint Eunuch Sun and showed up at the critical moment!
"My princess has just arrived in Kyoto, but she has been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for many times. Now you even want to torture her. Don't you take His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan seriously?"
Wei An's eyes were red, but his small figure burst out with great energy. He was like a reliable wall, standing firmly in front of Luo Xiaoran, making her feel warm in her heart.
"Why did you come out? It's just a whipping. I'll just treat it as letting out some blood to drive away the bad luck of these days."
"A whip?"
Before Wei An could say anything, Qing Huan couldn't help but scream out in surprise. Was this what she thought?
Luo Xiaoran tilted her head slightly, with a slightly evil smile.
"A whip is also a form of torture!
Isn’t the Queen’s oral instruction just about two points?
First, torture.
Second, inquiries.
Since there was a small incident during the torture, I will answer the Queen's question first. That's fine!
Listen carefully, I didn't apply the refined musk on the red coral, nor did I ask my men to do it. This matter has nothing to do with me at all.
If the Queen doesn't believe me, I swear to God.
Not only can I swear, I can also curse.
I curse the man who applied the musk, hoping that he would be caught early and have to endure all thirty-six tortures of the Heavenly Prison one by one, and then finally go down to look for his nine clansmen who were implicated and died.
However, after he meets the Nine Clans, the reunion probably won’t last too long.
After all, the nine clans were all poor people who were implicated, including those palace servants who died in the Heavenly Prison. These were all the sins committed by Tu Musk!
While other people are waiting to be reborn as humans, the man who applied musk will have to go to the eighteen levels of hell to be punished again, and finally be thrown into the animal realm. After several reincarnations, he may have the chance to be reborn as a human being.
Even if you become a human, you will still bring trouble to your family because of the sins you committed in this life, such as giving birth to a child without an anus or something like that..."
Luo Xiaoran's mouth seemed to be speaking at double speed, and without even taking a breath, she cursed the person who applied the musk.
As he spoke, he stared at Qinghuan. Seeing that her expression was becoming more and more ugly, his guess in his mind became more and more detailed.
Originally, Luo Xiaoran thought that Chen Lingyi had sent someone to tamper with the red coral in order to use the Queen to deal with her.
Now it seems that her previous thinking may have been wrong.
