Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 161 Falling into Hands

He Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard his high-sounding words.

Why did he set fire to the dungeon?Wasn't it forced by the emperor?If it wasn't for the emperor, would he have gone to Xiao Che's bad luck?
In short, regardless of whether Xiao Che did it or not, he only hates the emperor, because he is the chief culprit who promoted all this!

"Thank you for reminding me, my lord, I know."

The two of them used to say "I" at the same time, but now they are respectful.

Wang Yi felt that he should have been moved by his own words, so he nodded with great satisfaction: "I know Mr. He is a smart man, otherwise His Majesty would not be able to value you so much. , everything will be fine.”

"Lord Xiangguo, don't worry."

Wang Yi nodded in satisfaction: "Of course I'm relieved."

Having said that, he kept sending people to keep an eye on He Yan secretly, for fear that something would happen to him.

As for the fire in the cold palace, he still needs to send someone to investigate.

The fire burned all the things, and he didn't know where to start if he wanted to do research. Wang Yi didn't care anyway, and it wasn't him who actually did the work. He just had to tell the people below to do it.

By the time the emperor found out about this, Concubine He's "body" had already been buried, because she was a concubine who had been thrown into the cold palace, so she was not eligible to be buried with her original title, but considering He Yan's mood, Wang Yi still made an exception Ask her to be buried with the ceremony of concubine.

But these are things for later, and I will not express them here.

Shen Xi was in a good mood, because Xiao Che helped her arrest him and put him in the dungeon.

The person who died in the dungeon last time was the eunuch who brought Shen Xi to the palace.

The dungeon was eerie, and Xiao Che took her there himself.

Concubine He was put on the shelf, her body was dirty, and her hair, which was usually neat and tidy, was now messed up like a pile of straw.

It seems that Xiao Che's people are not very polite to her.

"Dizzy?" Shen Xi frowned.

"Wash her up." Xiao Che ordered coldly.

"Yes." The guard on the side raised the water in his hand and poured it on her.

Shen Xi subconsciously glanced at the water in the guard's hand, it was still emitting heat...

The water splashed on her was really useful, she screamed when it was so hot, she kept struggling on the torture rack, but it was to no avail.

"Tell her to calm down."

Unable to stand her howling, Shen Xi's ears were almost deafened by her.

The guard picked up another bucket of ice water and poured it on her body. After she finally calmed down, the exposed skin on her body had already been scalded with a lot of blood blisters.

Shen Xi looked relieved.

Concubine He raised her eyes and stared at Shen Xi: "I have no grievances with you, why...why..."

Why do you want to kill me!

It is naturally impossible for Shen Xi to tell what happened in his previous life: "I don't like you, do I need a reason? I want to kill you, do I need to talk to you? No need."

Back then, she was asked to kneel down and lick the toe of her shoe, and poured boiling water with salt on her wound, which directly scalded her flesh. The torture day after day was something she would never forget in her life. Unforgettable!
Now, she wants to tell her to have a taste of this!
"Give me the whip." Shen Xi took a fancy to a whip with barbs, and it was still shiny with something painted on it.

The guard respectfully handed the whip to Shen Xi's hand, and when Shen Xi raised the whip and was about to whip Concubine He, Xiao Che suddenly grabbed her hand.

She looked at Xiao Che in astonishment, with puzzlement in her eyes.

Concubine He thought she saw hope, but she didn't expect Xiao Che, who was always cold, to stop Shen Xi at this time.

Is it... Is he also feeling sorry for himself!
Her heart couldn't help pounding.

So he hurriedly said: "My lord, save me! I really don't know that I..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Che had already held Shen Xi's hand and slammed the whip on her body: "If you beat the whip in this way, it won't fall on you when you retract it, and it can also make her feel the pain." The greatest degree of pain, and at the same time not killing people."

It's no fun when you're dead.

Shen Xi curled her lips into a smile: "Then hold my hand and beat me a few more times, I'll find out how it feels."

"..." Shuqin fell silent.

There is no doubt that this person is his mother, and he did not forget to tease the prince when he beat someone.

Although Xiao Che didn't answer, he held her hand and rewarded Concubine He with a few lashes. During this time, he still told Shen Xi: "If you hit this place, she won't faint, and she will be able to bear your lash soberly."

"The skin here is thick, so it's okay to focus on it."

"It's easy to bleed here. Use this force to scratch the skin and bleed a little, but you won't die."

He almost wrapped Shen Xi in his arms, smelling the good smell on him, Shen Xi was in a daze for a while.

Why wasn't he the one I met in the first place?

Looking up at Xiao Che's resolute face, Shen Xi couldn't help but get red eyes.

At that time, she...was really too desperate.

Xiao Che was like the god who rescued her from the mud, washing away her filthy past bit by bit.

"Stupid?" Feeling Shen Xi's trance, Xiao Che withdrew his hands and looked at her: "Or do you think I can't be ruthless?"

Shen Xi leaned into his arms and shook her head: "No, it's just not cruel enough."

Xiao Che said indifferently: "There are many kinds of punishments, this is just the lightest one."

Of course she knows.

The double destruction of body and spirit is the most painful.

Thinking about it now, she really doesn't know how she survived for so long.

"What did the prince say to do?"

Xiao Che pondered for a while: "Ten fingers connect to the heart."

Shen Xi understood what he meant: "Except for this?"

"Do you know the origin of 'please enter the urn'?"

"It seems that one emperor wanted to punish another person, and that person was the official in charge of punishment, so the emperor sent an official to question him, and the official drank and chatted with that person. During the meeting, they talked about how to get someone to confess. way..."

Shen Xi suddenly realized what Xiao Che meant: "Could it be that you want to..."

Xiao Che nodded.

That's not a bad idea.

The official in charge of punishment said this: "burn the sides of a large urn with fire, and then let the person who is to be interrogated go into the urn and imprison him, and that person will confess."

Now what Xiao Che wants to borrow is the method of interrogation.

This method can't kill people, but it is really tormenting. The hot urn has nowhere to go, but there is room for shelter everywhere. The tension and fear in the darkness increase, and the torment is doubled.

"Then do as the prince says."

With so many tortures, she had to suffer them one by one, and finally she had to die to relieve her hatred.

"Go and prepare a big urn, and also, sprinkle some medicine on her wound, don't let her die."

"Yes, my lord."

　Inviting the King into the Urn happened during the time of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Wu Zetian got a group of officials to help her rule. Among them, two people were the most vicious, one was Zhou Xing, and the other was Lai Junchen.

　　Someone accused Zhou Xing of treason, Wu Zetian asked Lai Junchen to investigate, so Lai Junchen used that method to ask Zhou Xing to say a punishment, and then asked someone to carry an urn out to punish him according to what he said, Zhou Xing was scared I confessed.

　　If you are interested, you can go to Baidu by yourself, so I won’t go into details.
