Di Muxi ignored the thoughts of the unimportant people around him, and focused all his attention on the girl kneeling on the stage and her beautiful eyes glistening with tears.
She could see that those eyes were full of grievance, especially after seeing her, that grievance seemed to be bursting out along with tears.
Only the person who wronged you knows how wronged you are. Di Muxi understands this point very well. She suffered a lot of injustice in Qi Country. She just let the murderer taste the same thing she had tasted before.
"Mr. Bai, if you still keep making excuses and don't provide evidence to refute your claims, don't blame me for being rude!"
Bai Yaoyao felt a chill in her heart. Was she going to be tortured?
"Your Majesty, I truly love you. How could I possibly steal the defense map?"
The girl cried out for injustice, but Di Muxi remained calm, just staring at the pitiful girl who had suffered a great injustice.
The chief judge looked at His Majesty and saw that there was nothing unusual. Then he thought of the secret letter from last night and immediately shouted, "Come here, torture him!"
Torture?
Bai Yaoyao was a little confused as to what kind of torture this was. When the soldiers came up with the torture instruments, her face instantly turned green.
Isn't this just pinching your fingers?
The plots that often appear in TV dramas seem that the punishment is not very severe, but in fact, as long as the officers and soldiers use force, the person being punished will have his skin torn at the very least, and the finger bones of the severely punished will be broken.
"Sir, you actually tortured me, are you trying to force me to confess?"
The girl struggled to break free from the control, but her weak strength was no match for the strong-armed and fat female soldier. She was pinned to the ground in a few seconds and torture instruments were quickly put on her fingers.
The Chief Judge's expression remained unchanged. After His Majesty arrived, for the sake of His Majesty's safety, the civilians around had already been dispersed by the Royal Guards. Since they could not see the public trial hall, she could do whatever she wanted with the trial. Besides, what could she do if she saw some common people?
The girl wanted to scream, but the soldier quickly took out a piece of rough cloth from somewhere and stuffed it into Bai Yaoyao's mouth.
"woo woo woo woo!"
The coarse cloth was about to get stuck in Bai Yaoyao's throat. No one knew what the coarse cloth was originally used for. The strange smell made Bai Yaoyao feel nauseous. She vomited many times, but there was nothing in her stomach. She hadn't drunk a drop of water for most of the day, so how could she vomit?
"That's too much. Isn't this an interrogation? How can you interrogate me if you block my mouth? It's obvious that you are torturing me."
The next moment, before Bai Yaoyao could think of a countermeasure, the severe pain from her ten fingers almost made her lose her concentration.
It is said that the fingers are connected to the heart, and Bai Yaoyao has truly experienced the pain.
"woo woo woo woo!"
The girl screamed in pain, but her voice was blocked by the rough cloth in her mouth. She could only make miserable sobbing sounds, with tears streaming down her face, but she did not look miserable at all.
Di Muxi was very happy and relieved when seeing this, but he still had to show an expression of pity on his face.
Upon seeing this, the Chief Judge immediately cooperated and ordered the man to release the force, and took the rough cloth out of his mouth.
"Hoo, ho, ho~"
The girl was panting heavily and collapsed to the ground, her forehead covered with sweat, as if she had just gone through a catastrophe. Her ten fingers that had been tortured were trembling slightly, and the areas under them were already bloody from being pinched, revealing dense bloodshot veins.
Bai Yaoyao tried to control her fingers, and a tingling sensation came instantly, which was extremely painful.
Could it be that the bones were injured?
"Can Bai talk properly now?"
"grown ups."
The girl shouted weakly, "I really didn't steal it. It's all a false accusation."
The chief judge shook his head and ordered the torture again, but this time without gagging.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The girl shook her hands desperately, trying to break free from the deadly torture device, but unfortunately she was held down again in the blink of an eye and could only endure the pain of severed fingers.
After this attack, Bai Yaoyao's fingers were completely turned into a bloody mess. Except for the fact that her fingers were not broken off, the rest of her condition was not good at all.
"All right."
Although Di Muxi really wanted to cut off Bai Yaoyao's fingers, she still pretended to have a sympathetic expression to stop the soldiers.
Once the emperor spoke, the torture would naturally stop.
The girl looked towards the empress with eyes full of gratitude, and Di Muxi found this very interesting.
It's really wonderful that the victim shows gratitude to the real murderer.
"Bai Yaoyao, do you still admit your guilt now?"
The girl gasped and was about to speak when she heard this, but was interrupted by the sharp pain in her fingers. After a long pause, she stammered, "I don't recognize you."
As soon as these words came out, Di Muxi's eyes suddenly became strange. Is this tough Bai Yaoyao still the little girl in his memory who would cry for half a day after falling down?
"Your Excellency the Judge, these testimonies can be forged and are not sufficient as evidence, so I refuse to acknowledge them."
"it is good!"
The chief judge nodded and said, "It seems that Bai is indeed not the real murderer. Bring up the real mastermind."
Bai Yaoyao thought she had heard wrongly and decided not to continue the torture?
Before she had time to think, she saw two soldiers dragging a woman up with blood dripping from her body. With her sharp eyes, she recognized the woman's dark green hair at a glance and suddenly stopped in her tracks as if struck by lightning.
"Green? Green!"
The officers and soldiers were thrown casually in the center of the court. Bai Yaoyao quickly broke free from the officers and soldiers around her and dragged herself closer.
Xiaolu might have been whipped. Her clothes were torn and there were many bloody whip marks that were still oozing with blood.
"Green?"
Bai Yaoyao endured the severe pain in her ten fingers and held up Xiaolu's head with difficulty. Her eyes were closed tightly and there was a line of blood at the corner of her mouth. She looked in very bad condition.
She really didn't expect that Di Muxi would actually attack Xiaolu directly, and was so cruel. After being with Xiaolu for nearly three months, she had developed some feelings for her and had already accepted this lively girl in her heart. As a result, she was now tortured and lying here half-dead.
"Bai Yaoyao, this is the mastermind behind this. He has already confessed his guilt. You stole the defense map under the orders of this person. Is this true?"
Bai Yaoyao looked at the confession letter placed in front of her, which had Lu'er's bloody handprint on it.
After looking carefully at the handwriting above, it was obvious that Lu'er had taken on all the responsibility.
As long as she tells the truth now, Lu'er will definitely die, and she might be a little better off, but with the empress's subsequent tricks, she will definitely have a hard time.
If the answer is no, then her days in this world are completely over, but Lu'er can be saved.
so…………
"fake."
The girl lowered her head and shouted timidly: "I admit it. It was I who stole the defense map. She took it over only because she didn't want to implicate me."
Di Muxi’s eyes widened suddenly. Why was this different from what she expected?
How could Bai Yaoyao, such a selfish person, give up the opportunity to escape and plead guilty?
This was a way she had left on purpose, but Bai Yaoyao unexpectedly chose to drag this personal maid into the water, which made her subsequent plans go to waste.
"In that case—"
The chief judge was about to sentence when he was interrupted by the empress.
"Well, since Concubine Bai has pleaded guilty, she will be banished to the cold palace and demoted five levels to a concubine!"
After saying this, Di Muxi was too lazy to appreciate Bai Yaoyao's grateful look. Instead, he flicked his sleeves and hurriedly left the public trial hall. Under the protection of the Imperial Guards, he sat on the Phoenix Chariot, with extremely complicated thoughts in his mind.
In fact, this is more than once or twice that Bai Yaoyao has not acted as arrogant and domineering as she remembered in her childhood. For example, even though she was extremely pampered before, Bai Yaoyao still did not accuse General Ji of insulting her, nor did she accuse the old maids of bullying when she first entered the palace.
She never complained to her once, and never even retaliated in private. She even endured the conflict between Bai Yaoyao and Shi Xin before the fight. In the end, if she hadn't done it herself, Bai Yaoyao's reputation would have been intact!
"Does it mean that a girl's personality will change as she grows up?"
Di Muxi frowned, but quickly relaxed her brows.
Even if Bai Yaoyao's personality has become gentler, so what? If you count the things that happened to her when she was a child, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was tortured to death with 3,600 cuts. No matter what's going on now, she still has to be tortured to relieve the evil in her heart.
She is now also considering when to let Bai Yaoyao recognize her and completely break Bai Yaoyao's heart.
Chapter 13: A Dream ( chapters have been sent)
The cold palace does not refer to a single place called the cold palace, but refers to the place where concubines are imprisoned. It can be anywhere. Concubines who have made mistakes and are not popular are thrown into sparsely populated places and imprisoned, completely depriving them of their freedom and can only waste their lives in depression.
After Emperor Muxi gave the order, Bai Yaoyao and Xiaolu were not driven away somewhere else, but were still brought back to Yuzhao Palace. However, Yuzhao Palace was completely sealed as a cold palace, and all the passages connecting to the outside world were blocked. Only a small door was left that allowed three people to walk in parallel. Guards stood side by side and took turns guarding it for twelve hours. Even outside the wall, there were constant patrols by the Royal Guards. Without the order of His Majesty, no one could take the people inside out.
At the same time, all the property that Emperor Muxi had previously rewarded was taken back, and all the maids were withdrawn, leaving only Bai Yaoyao and Xiaolu.
"Imperial Physician, can Lu'er still be saved?"
Bai Yaoyao's hands were wrapped like Doraemon's little fists, with only a few half fingers that were not pinched showing. She was still wearing a dirty white dress, and was standing by the side looking at the unconscious girl on the bed with an anxious look on her face.
"Well, the injured person has been practicing martial arts for many years, and the injuries he suffered are just superficial. It is unlikely that he will be killed. Next, he just needs to replenish his Qi and blood, and he must not work, and he must work less."
After the old lady carefully applied medicine and bandaged the last wound on the girl's body, she slowly straightened her body and stretched out her hand.
"what?"
Bai Yaoyao was a little slow to react.
The old doctor's wrinkled face suddenly became uglier: "Bai Cainu, you have been banished to the cold palace now. I am willing to treat you, but I can't be stingy. And the follow-up treatment..."
"Ohhhh, I understand, I understand."
Bai Yaoyao finally understood. She nodded repeatedly and turned to walk into a side room in the house, then came out holding a small box.
"Mr. Gu, as long as you can cure us without leaving any sequelae, all of these will be yours."
Old Gu took the small wooden box leisurely and weighed it. It was made of rosewood and was quite heavy, almost as heavy as gold. However, gold of this size would not be enough for her to completely cure the two of them.
I was about to say it was not enough, but the moment I opened the box, I swallowed the words that were about to come out.
There were more than a dozen crystal clear gems piled up in the box, some green, some blue, some yellow, some red. It was no exaggeration to say that they had seven colors. Moreover, each of them was full and of very good quality, and as big as a thumb. It was no exaggeration to say that they were priceless.
It is said that the Qi State values culture over military affairs, and that the country has all the wealth but no ability to protect it. Now it seems to be true. The private belongings brought by the princess as a married couple are so huge in wealth. It is hard to imagine how rich the royal family of the Qi State is.
"Is it enough?"
Bai Yaoyao asked tentatively. This was the original body's favorite gem. She had collected it since she was a child, and it was also the most valuable. All of them plus a piece of gold were equivalent to a carriage. The others were mostly some exquisitely crafted gold and silver jewelry. Although their value was also extremely high, they were still inferior to the gems. After all, gems in this world were truly rare.
In her opinion, it is better not to be stingy when it comes to matters of life and death.
"Enough is enough."
Doctor Gu's old face smiled as brightly as a flower, and he quickly put the small box into his arms and put it away.
"I won't take advantage of you. I will definitely give you the best medicinal herbs next time."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Gu."
Bai Yaoyao was very respectful, and Doctor Gu was very pleased with this. He gave some careful instructions before leaving, and then left leisurely.
She had come here for treatment on the emperor's orders, and unexpectedly gained something unexpected while extorting money. Such a huge fortune was enough for her descendants to be wealthy for several lifetimes.
Originally, she wanted to just live a carefree life, but since Bai Cainu was so generous, she couldn't be stingy. She would just spend a few more medicinal herbs, which were not worth much compared to these gems.
On the other side, Bai Yaoyao was standing by the bed with a small stool, holding Huahua in her arms.
"The Empress didn't even take Huahua away. Did she want to make my burden even heavier?"
Bai Yaoyao gently pinched the panda's head with her white little fist. Although pandas are cute, they are also a kind of bear and have a huge appetite, especially when they are growing.
In the cold palace, food is a big problem. I don’t know how much money it would cost to ask the palace maids to bring in bamboo.
"Ugh."
Bai Yaoyao sighed and opened the system store as usual to look for suitable products.
"Really? How can I possibly change the Empress's opinion of me?"
She randomly swiped the items in the system store with her mind. When she thought she would not be able to find the item she wanted as before, a prop suddenly caught her eye and shocked Bai Yaoyao.
"A dream?"
【A Dream of the Yellow Millet (Fake)】: Designate a person, guide him/her into the dream created by the purchaser after he/she falls asleep, and provide slight guidance.
【A Dream of the Yellow Millet (True)】: Designate a person and guide him/her into the dream created by the purchaser, and guide him/her so that he/she can hear and hear the sound as if he/she is actually in the dream, and make real changes in reality.
"I rely on!"
Bai Yaoyao couldn't help but swear, and finally she found the props that could break the impasse. If she could change Di Muxi's perception of her original body in her memory through the dream that was as vivid as the sound, then the crisis would be resolved directly. If she tried harder, she could even get a empress who would be crazy about her and bang her head against the wall for her.
A Dream of Yellow Millet (fake) sells for three redemption points, while the real one requires a full ten redemption points. The prices are vastly different, and the effects are also vastly different. It can even affect reality, which is simply outrageous.
