"Sister, do you believe that I didn't do what happened to the Queen Mother?" After thinking for a while, Xiyan asked again tentatively.
"Yes, Xin." Zhen'er said simply and firmly.
"I also believe that Sister Zhen'er did not do this. Sister, I believe that the two of us will definitely get out of here."
Hearing Zhen'er's answer, Xiyan smiled easily and continued talking.
At this moment, Xiyan was looking into the distance with burning eyes. That direction might be the direction to go out. Even though the candlelight here was very dim, Zhen'er could still see that Xiyan's eyes were so clear, and in her
His eyes were full of hope.
Zhen'er couldn't help but sigh in her heart, even though Miss Xiyan had suffered such cruel abuse, she was still so optimistic and full of hope.
However, hasn’t Xiyan realized what the Heavenly Prison is? This is not a place where ordinary people can enter and get out whenever they want!
However, Zhen'er couldn't bear to break Xiyan's glimmer of hope.
"Well, I will, let's go to bed early!"
Zhen'er said simply, and after finishing speaking, she left the corner and came to a relatively comfortable place to lie down.
Xiyan sat there blankly for a while, and then lay back down.
~~~~
Early the next morning, someone came over again and took Miss Xiyan away.
Xiyan has already awakened, and she is fully mentally prepared to face those tortures.
On this day, she walked calmly to the place of execution. Although she was seriously injured, every step she took was so steady, except for the haggard look in her eyes.
But after all, Xiyan was too naive. She originally thought that the punishment on this day would be similar to the previous day, nothing more than some severe torture. As long as she gritted her teeth, she could always get through it.
But she was still wrong, her nightmare had just begun.
On this day, the people who interrogated her were not just the jailers from yesterday. In addition to them, a person of noble status also came today - the Queen.
When Xiyan walked step by step towards the place of execution, the Queen had been waiting for her there for a long time.
At this moment, the Queen is sitting high in the middle, her index finger and thumb gently tapping back and forth on the table, looking leisurely.
Seeing that the person she wanted had been brought over, the queen slowly raised her head and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her smile looked weird and cold, even colder than this gloomy and terrifying cell.
Just looking at it makes one shudder.
"Miss Xiyan, you are fine."
After Xiyan was firmly tied to the shelf, the Queen slowly walked over and spoke to her in a sinister tone.
"Thanks to my empress, daughter of the people, everything is fine."
Xiyan raised her face slightly and spoke stubbornly. Every word he said was so firm. She looked directly at the Queen, with a trace of anger in her eyes. She was more serious than the first time.
Nanmingong was much more resolute when being interrogated.
After thinking for a while, Xiyan added another sentence.
"I don't know how the investigation went on, Madam?"
"This matter, of course, depends on the girl's performance." Xiyan's stubborn look made the queen feel very unhappy, so she walked away slowly, her tone becoming even more sinister.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will report everything truthfully." Xiyan said word by word.
"Okay, okay, then I ask you, why did you poison the Queen Mother? Who asked you to do this?"
At this moment, the Queen shook the hem of her clothes, sat in the middle seat again, and asked Xiyan in a stern tone.
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's poisoning has nothing to do with the daughter of the people!"
Xiyan answered the Queen's words without hesitation, her tone was still so firm, and her eyes were still looking intently at the Queen not far away.
"Hey, girl, you have such a stubborn temper. It seems like you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
Seeing this, the Queen sneered and waved her left hand gently. A jailer saw it and quickly understood what the Queen meant.
The jailer held a leather whip in his hand and strode to Miss Xiyan.
"The queen can be punished if she wants, but if you want me to say something that doesn't exist at all, that's impossible!"
"Okay, girl, I really admire this righteousness."
The queen smiled lightly, patted her hand gently, and repeatedly "praised" Xiyan. Then, she said sternly: "Do it!"
After hearing such an order, the jailer held the whip and threw it down hard. Xiyan couldn't help but scream. At this moment, the entire prison was filled with the sound of the whip hitting the flesh.
, and Xi Yan’s painful screams. After a while, a horrible and disgusting smell of blood began to fill the air.
After only a few blows, Xiyan lowered her head and looked like she was dying. Seeing this, the Queen clapped her hands gently to signal the man to stop.
"How about it? Now that things have happened, is the girl still so stubborn and still refusing to admit it?"
As the queen spoke, she slowly walked over. She gently pinched Xiyan's chin with her index finger and thumb, and forced her face up to look at herself.
"Why bother to accuse someone?"
Xiyan cheered up, rolled her eyes, and gave the queen a roll of her eyes.
Xiyan's eyes were still so sharp and her attitude was still so firm, without any change.
Seeing this, the Queen moved forward a little further, getting closer to her. She leaned against her ear and whispered to her.
"You don't really believe that he will come to save you, do you?"
Hearing this, Xiyan's eyes widened suddenly and she frowned slightly. Did the Queen know this from the beginning?
After saying that, the Queen slowly straightened up. Her eyes when looking at Xiyan were no longer as firm as before. There was even a trace of panic in her eyes. The Queen smiled proudly at the side.
.
After thinking for a while, the queen continued to talk about this matter, shaking Xiyan's determination. She knew the fifth prince Bei Mingchen far better than Xiyan did.
"However, I really hope that he will come to rescue you. In this case, I can save a lot of trouble."
The Queen's words made Xiyan even more panicked. She could tell that what the Queen said should be a hint to Bei Mingchen.
Xiyan had also suspected that Bei Mingchen was responsible for the Queen Mother's affairs.
However, she still hoped that Bei Mingchen would be fine and nothing would happen to him. For a moment, she didn't even want Bei Mingchen to come back to Tianlao to save her.
"Then I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. This matter has nothing to do with the prince. I'm just an ordinary medical woman. How can I let the prince be so interested in me?"
"Is it really worth it for such a person?" The queen whispered in Xiyan's ear. Then, she continued to order the jailers: "Continue to torture!"
After saying this, the man raised the whip in his hand again and slapped Xi Yan again.
"How about it? Now that things have happened, is the girl willing to admit it?"
"If you haven't done it, you haven't done it! Today, no matter what the queen does to the people's daughters, the people's daughters always give the same answer."
Xiyan answered without hesitation. Because she was seriously injured, she was very tired now. She spoke in a very low voice and started to feel weak when she spoke.
It's also because the words the Queen Mother said just now did have some impact on Xiyan. Now she is not as resolute as before, and her words lack some confidence. After letting go of the energy she was holding, Xiyan's
The body is also a little soft.
"That's all. I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back first. How should I say this? Girl, go down and think about it for yourself."
After saying that, the Queen strode away from there. Xiyan, on the other hand, continued to be abused by those rude people on the cross.
Since the Queen came to the Heavenly Prison today, she naturally wanted to visit Zhen'er. Now, Zhen'er's situation in the Heavenly Prison is much better.
"Zhen'er, don't worry, I will be able to pick you up soon."
When the queen arrived at Zhen'er's place, she changed her cold and stern look. She looked at Zhen'er with concern and said with confidence.
"Uh-huh."
After hearing such words, Zhen'er should have been very happy, but she couldn't be happy now. She clearly wanted to leave here, and she was considered a ruthless person, but this time, she was unwilling to use
This way out of here.
Facing the Queen's words, she just nodded silently and answered simply.
The Queen came to Tianlao this time without His Majesty's permission, so she could not stay here for too long. After a few brief explanations to Zhen'er, she left Tianlao.
Not long after that, Xiyan was brought back by those rude people. She was dragged back by those people's arms.
Today, Miss Xiyan's injuries were more serious than the day before. After being thrown into the cell, she didn't even have the strength to sit up. She just lay weakly in the same position as she was thrown into.
Zhen'er hurriedly came to the side and looked at Xiyan distressedly. Looking at the scarred girl, Zhen'er quickly understood what had happened.
It must be because of the Queen that Miss Xiyan was so seriously injured today.
At this moment, Xiyan was lying weakly on the ground, breathing shallowly. If Zhen'er asked her anything, she would answer whatever she asked. She was unwilling to say more now.
