Wei Jingxuan had never seen Hongli so furious. She knew something was wrong and was about to speak when a weak voice sounded in her ears, "Emperor Dog, if you have the guts, kill me. Why bother here?"
Weak woman, this matter has nothing to do with her at all."
It was Li Jifeng who spoke. He was forced to kneel on the ground by the palace guards. Although every part of his body was injured, because Kang Wei force-fed him food and ginseng soup every day, he seemed to be in good spirits.
.
Hongli stared at him with a ferocious smile and said, "What's wrong? Does it hurt your heart when I hit her?"
Damn it, why should he talk too much? Wasn't it because he wanted to arouse Hongli's suspicion?
Wei Jingxuan cursed secretly in her heart, crawled to Hongli's feet, and said with tears: "Your Majesty, I and Guard Li are indeed innocent. What should I say so that you are willing to believe me?"
Xianyue watched Wei Jingxuan pretending there indifferently. At this point, she no longer felt any anger or resentment, because she knew that Wei Jingxuan would never be able to escape this time.
"Innocent?" Hongli sneered: "This is really the funniest joke I have ever heard. Wei Jingxuan, at this time, are you still acting? Twenty years, have you been with me for twenty years? Have you ever interacted with me?
Have you ever told the truth?"
"Your Majesty..." Before Wei Jingxuan could continue, Hongli said coldly: "Mao Gui has already recruited them all. When you were banned, you drugged Li Jifeng to seduce him and used him to help you save Mao Gui's life. What's more,
May you stay safe in the Palace of Eternal Life!"
Wei Jingxuan's most worried thing finally happened, she shook her head urgently and said: "No, there is no such thing, Mao Gui is talking nonsense!" As she spoke, she glanced at Mao Gui quickly, her eyes filled with creepy resentment.
, despite thousands of warnings, Mao Gui still betrayed her, it’s really hateful, huh, do you really think you can save your life? Naive!
Mao Gui did not argue with her, but struggled to raise a hand and pointed: "I swear to God that I will never lie, otherwise I will be reincarnated and become a eunuch forever!"
For eunuchs, this is the most poisonous oath. Even some eunuchs who do not believe in gods and Buddhas would never dare to make such a poisonous oath.
Wei Jingxuan suppressed the panic in her heart and said: "Little noble son, although I have scolded you a few times because of your carelessness in doing things, I ask myself that I treat you well on weekdays, how could you harm me like this?"
Before Mao Gui could say anything, Hongli already said: "Wei Jingxuan, you don't have to be pretentious here, I will never believe a word you say again!" After a pause, he said: "I ask you, Yong Cong, Chang Le, Ming
It's all your fault, right?"
Even Wei Jingxuan couldn't help but change her face when she heard this sentence, and looked at Hongli in disbelief. More than ten years have passed since these things happened, and almost all the people related to these things are dead. Hongli
Why did you mention it again?
She composed herself and pretended to be confused: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? How could the late Queen and Seventh Prince be killed by their concubines?"
"You don't want to say that?" Hongli said with a ferocious smile: "It doesn't matter, I have many ways to make you tell the truth!" Before Wei Jingxuan could understand what he meant, she already scolded: "Immediately tell Kang Wei to come to Yangxin Hall
, let him bring the instruments of torture!"
Li Jifeng saw that something was wrong and said hurriedly: "Emperor Dog, what do you want?"
"You will know soon." Hongli had put away all his ferociousness and looked calm, as if he was discussing a trivial matter.
Xiao Wu moved quickly and brought Kang Wei in not long after. As soon as Mao Gui saw the torture instrument in his hand, he was trembling with fear. He had suffered from these things before.
Before Kangwei could salute, Hongli pointed at Wei Jingxuan and said: "Execution!"
Kang Wei's eyelids twitched. Although their Sentence Department was responsible for punishment in the palace, the ones who were punished were always palace ladies and eunuchs, or assassins like Li Jifeng, and concubines... This was really the first time this happened to him.
"Don't you do it yet?" Hearing Hongli's urging, Kang Wei did not dare to neglect, and called the young eunuch who came in with him to hold a clamping stick made of poplar wood. This thing is specially designed to clamp people's fingers, and the ten fingers are connected to the heart.
It can kill people, but it is most painful.
Wei Jingxuan was pinned down by Kang Weiqiang and put on the clamp. She was panicking and anxious, and kept shouting that she was wronged. However, Hongli did not listen to her words at all, and just urged the hesitant Kang Wei to torture again.
Kang Wei gritted his teeth and pulled the clamp hard with the little eunuch on the other side. The heartbreaking pain suddenly spread from his fingers. The pain was unbearable, and miserable screams rang out in the hall.
When Kang Wei released the clamp, the original jade finger had become red and swollen, and he could not even move. Wei Jingxuan was so painful that she broke into a cold sweat and said intermittently: "Your Majesty... I am wronged! Really wronged!"
"
Regarding her words, Hongli only said: "Continue to torture!"
The next moment, screams rang out one after another in the palace, which made Li Jifeng feel heartbroken and wished he could suffer the punishment on Wei Jingxuan's behalf. When he saw Wei Jingxuan shaking all over in pain, he finally couldn't help shouting: "I will follow you no matter what you say."
You have given birth to three princesses over the years, and you treat her like this. Are you still a human being?"
Hongli signaled Kang Wei to stop and sneered: "You are so nervous about her, and you still say she doesn't have an affair?!" After that, he said again: "Li Jifeng, do you really think she has feelings for you, that's why she is with you?"
Together? In her heart, she has always only had interests, and she only interacted with you because you were valuable at that time. Think about it for yourself, will she still interact with you after she is lifted from the ban? Li Jifeng, do you really want to do this?
Would a woman suffer endless torture and even kill your family members?"
Li Jifeng gritted his teeth and his face was horribly distorted. For a long time, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "You want to know, okay, I'll tell you!" After a moment of pause, he raised his hand and pointed.
Liao Xianyue said: "There is indeed someone who had an affair with me, and that person is the queen!"
Xianyue shook her head and said: "It seems that you are really obsessed with your concubine. At this time, you are still protecting him, but Li Jifeng...she is not something you can protect."
Almost at the moment Xianyue finished her words, Jiu Hantian's cold voice sounded in everyone's ears, "The decree was sent to Shuntian Mansion, Li Jifeng planned to go counterattack and assassinate. The evidence is conclusive and the crime is unpardonable. His entire family will be questioned and executed.
No matter men, women, old or young, no one will be spared!"
Li Jifeng said excitedly: "They have not committed any crime, you cannot kill them!"
Hongli said expressionlessly: "They did not commit any crime, but they were executed by you. The biggest mistake they made in their lives was that they had an intersection with you. Li Jifeng, you are the real executioner who killed them!" Hongli is true.
Angry, he repeatedly gave Li Jifeng opportunities, but the latter always defended Wei Jingxuan, and even at this time, wanted to slander Xianyue; since Li Jifeng insisted on dragging the whole family to the gate of hell, he had no reason to stop it.
