During the time when Mu Qingchao was ill, Shen Muchi didn't know what kind of cramp he had, but he came to Chaoyundian very frequently, showing great care and making huge sums of money every now and then.
Shen Muchi's attentiveness made the concubines in the harem jealous.
Your Majesty is so filial. How could the Queen Mother, who is so untouchable, be able to push him so hard?
Mu Qingchao didn't care about this at all. While he was feeling better, he arrived at the imperial prison in a small sedan chair.
It seemed that Shen Muchi had said hello in advance, and the guards at Zhao Prison were very polite to her.
As soon as I stepped into that dark place, I felt a dull suffocation feeling.
Just one smell of the rotten smell in the air could make Mu Qingchao's soul tremble.
The horror of prison can never be imagined by those who have not experienced it.
Many years later, she would still have nightmares, dreaming that she was back in this place, with cold shackles on her hands and feet, a soldering iron, a whip soaked in salt, long nails...
Every time I woke up from the dream, I would be sweating profusely.
Today, she actually returned to this place. It was the same place, but in a completely different situation.
She still remembered that the jailer who followed her had been arrogant and whipped her body one after another.
He also took off her clothes, took a good look at her, and said: "She is also a beautiful woman, but it's a pity that she doesn't have any good flesh on her body, otherwise, the brothers can still enjoy her."
After saying that, he spat on her.
"What a damn bad luck."
What about now?
Now he stood beside her in a servile manner.
"Eunuch Li has come to deliver the message. The person the Queen Mother wants to see is inside. You can just take a look. If you have anything to do, let me know."
Mu Qingchao glanced at him with disdain.
He took a piece of broken silver in his hand and said, "Then you'll have a hard time."
The jailer thought it was a reward for him and stretched out his hands to receive it.
But when Mu Qingchao let go of his hand, the silver fell to the ground.
"Ah, it fell." Mu Qing said.
"It's okay, it's okay, the little one can just pick it up by himself."
As the jailer spoke, he knelt down and touched the silver on the ground.
Mu Qingchao stood there, looking at him squatting on the ground like a dog, and sneered: "Humph, I can't even catch a piece of silver, so damn unlucky."
After finishing speaking, he walked inside.
Liu Bing was in the innermost part of the prison. He had committed such a serious crime, so he was naturally the subject of special treatment and was locked up in the innermost part.
When Mu Qingchao saw him, he was tied to the torture rack, his knees were dug out, his hand tendons and hamstrings were also twitched, his head was hanging down, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Come to think of it, she must have looked like this in her previous life. At that time, she couldn't see herself. She didn't expect that she was so ugly.
Mu Qingchao stood in front of Liu Bing and called softly: "Master Liu."
When Liu Bing heard this voice, he suddenly raised his head.
Unfortunately, his eyes were covered with blood scabs and he could not see clearly. He could only see a shadowy figure in front of him.
She is full of luxury and enchanting.
Just listen to her sweet voice: "I wonder if Mr. Liu still remembers the Ai family?"
It's Mu Qingchao!
When Liu Bing heard this voice, he suddenly became excited and threw himself forward, intending to rush towards Mu Qingchao. Fortunately, he was handcuffed with bracelets and feet.
But he didn't seem to give up and struggled hard, but he only made a metallic sound.
This action startled Mu Qingchao, and he subconsciously took a step back.
"Be honest!" Upon seeing this, the jailer rushed up to protect Mu Qingchao, and threatened Liu Bing with words: "If I bump into the Queen Mother, you will suffer the most."
"The Demon Queen, the Demon Queen!"
Liu Bing shouted loudly, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like nails scratching a rough wall, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Mu Qingchao was familiar with the methods of imprisonment and knew that he had been doused with boiling water.
Mu Qingchao remembered that he scolded him the same way in his previous life.
In the Jinluan Palace, she was shackled, kneeling on the ground, begging and saying over and over again.
"I didn't, I didn't, I really didn't..."
"Your Majesty is already very old. It has nothing to do with me whether the oil is running out or the lamp is drying up. I beg your Majesty to be aware of it, please be aware of it..."
At that time, Liu Bing was standing next to her. His expression was solemn, he looked so upright and strict, and he followed the rules of the system and the ancestral etiquette.
Finally, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, if the evil concubine is not eliminated, it will be unbearable."
Now, things have changed, and she once again stood in front of Liu Bing, but in a completely different situation.
It turns out that it is such a pleasure to be able to decide the life or death of others with just a few gestures. No wonder, no wonder those civil and military ministers had to have trouble with a weak woman like her.
Come to think of it, I really love the feeling of having someone in a superior position take life and death for granted.
Mu Qingchao smiled, his voice still clear and pleasant: "The Ai family just came to see Mr. Liu, why is Mr. Liu so excited?"
Liu Bing laughed when he heard this.
His voice was already unpleasant, but this smile made it even worse.
"Hehe, hehe, Demon Queen, I have no enmity or grudge against you, why do you want to harm me like this?"
"Is there no injustice or enmity?"
Mu Qingchao repeated his words, but did not answer. He only said: "The Ai family did not harm you. It was Zhong Yingying who identified Concubine Hui. It was Zhong Ming who ignored you. What does it have to do with the Ai family?"
"You should take it off yourself."
Liu Bing raised his head and looked at Mu Qingchao: "But you can deceive others but you cannot deceive me. Do you dare to touch your conscience and ask yourself, are you really that clean?
Demon Queen!
You tortured loyal people and killed innocent people indiscriminately. The people of Nanming will not let you go, and the people of the world will not let you go. Your retribution is yet to come."
"Stop talking nonsense with your red lips and white teeth!"
However, Mu Qingchao was angered by Liu Bing calling him a "demon queen".
"The Ai family has never harmed Zhongliang!
You, Liu Bing, buy and sell official positions, sell personal wealth, and line your own pockets. People like you deserve to call yourself loyal and good, and you are not afraid of scaring others' teeth."
"you……"
Liu Bing was suddenly shocked when he heard this.
"You...you know?"
What do you know? Do you know the dirty things he did?
"Yes, the Ai family all knows, and the Ai family also knows that you have raised a foreign wife outside for thirteen years, and you have two sons and a daughter."
"hehe……"
Mu Qingchao actually laughed when he said this: "Look, this is the official of Nanming, the Minister of Rites who talks about benevolence, justice, etiquette and wisdom.
A person like this can shamelessly call himself a loyal minister, put on a shy face in the court, either for the sake of the country or the country, and point to the backbone of the Ai family and call him the Demon Queen of the Ai family.
Liu Bing, look at yourself, are you worthy?"
Mu Qingchao scolded Liu Bing word by word, but he had no intention of refuting. He only asked Mu Qingchao: "How...how do you know these things?"
