The maid was tortured by her aunt for three days before she died. In fact, those ants were not enough to kill her. She was frightened to death by the fear. She was only eleven years old when she saw that scene, but the impression was very profound.
It was so deep that it is still vivid in my mind to this day.
"Master, please forgive me! I don't dare to do that anymore!" Caiyan could already feel the ants biting her, and the trembling sensation crawling across her skin. She couldn't help but cry and scream, never expecting Wen Ru
Qing would actually come up with such a vicious way to torment herself, she was going crazy.
And this kind of punishment also gave Xiao Dengzi and others goosebumps all over their bodies. Some of them were timid and didn't even dare to look at it anymore. They would rather be beaten than let ants crawl on their bodies unscrupulously. It was really too scary.
.
Wen Ruqing Shiran put down the tea cup, raised her eyes and said: "Caiyan, I will give you one last chance to tell the person who entrusted you, otherwise these ants will follow you all their lives."
"My lord, please spare me, I know you are wrong!" Caiyan's voice was frightened and helpless. She kept struggling on the ground, trying to stop the ants from climbing up. The itching and pain that spread all over her body were gone.
Bringing her to the brink of collapse.
Wen Ruqing nodded slightly and said calmly: "It seems that you are ready to protect the person behind you to the end. Anyway, since you are so loyal, I will give you a chance to be loyal." Turning his eyes, he stood up and said to Xiao Dengzi:
"Come on, help me go to the Imperial Garden and let her stay here alone for a few days and nights."
Seeing that Wen Ruqing was about to leave, Caiyan became even more panicked. If her hands and feet had not been bound and unable to move, she would have already pulled on Wen Ruqing's clothes, "No, noble man, don't leave, my servant said!"
"Oh? You want to say it again now?" Wen Ruqing took back her steps and stared coldly and ruthlessly at Caiyan, who was crawling all over her body with ants. "Okay, I will give you another chance. If you still dare to play tricks, I will kill you."
Locked up in a warehouse, no one will come to save you even if you shout until your throat becomes hoarse."
"I said! I said!" Caiyan was scared, she was really scared. She had never thought that there could be such a disgusting and terrible punishment. It was a hundred times more terrifying than whipping with a stick or the like.
"Yes...it's Concubine Xi!" Under Wen Ruqing's coercion, Caiyan finally said the name. The next moment, Wen Ruqing hit the table with her palm and shouted: "It is indeed her!"
Niu Hulu's ghost seemed to be lingering around. She almost exposed her in front of Wen Ruyan before, and she was almost thrown into the cold palace. Now she sent Caiyan to be an internal agent next to her, monitoring everything about her.
Make a move. Thinking like this, the anger in Wen Ruqing's eyes grew stronger. She stepped hard on the back of Caiyan's hand with her flowerpot-soled shoes and rolled it hard, "Tell me, when did you take advantage of me not paying attention to have sex with Concubine Xi?"
Meet in person?"
"No, I have never seen Concubine Xi." Before Wen Ruqing could get angry, Caiyan endured the severe pain on her finger and said hurriedly: "I was waiting for the assignment at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but then Eunuch Yang came and said it was
He was going to send people to Concubine Hui and the nobles, and then the slaves were selected together with the others. Eunuch Yang asked the slaves many questions, and then talked a lot about each of them individually. When it was the slaves' turn, he first
After asking some irrelevant questions, he suddenly asked the slave if he would like to serve Concubine Xi. The slave said yes, and Eunuch Yang told the slave that as long as the slave came to Concubine Hui,
Help pay attention to the noble's every move, and then tell him the matter quietly. After the matter is settled, he will discuss with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and send the slave to Chengqian Palace. Who knows that the slave will be favored by the noble later..."
Wen Ruqing gritted her teeth and said, "Then you will help Concubine Xi spy on me, and then use such tricks to tip them off, right?"
Caiyan didn't dare to answer, but it didn't matter anymore. Wen Ruqing had already figured everything out. She stepped on Caiyan's foot and rolled it hard again. She could even hear Caiyan's finger bones rattling.
His face turned pale with pain, and he moved his feet away, pacing back and forth in the room irritably. The sound of "treading" seemed to hit everyone's heart, making them not dare to raise their heads.
The voice suddenly stopped, and Wen Ruqing stopped, stared at Caiyan and said, "So, Concubine Xi already knows about the red flowers on the gauze?"
"Yes..." Caiyan had just said a word when she saw Wen Ruqing flicking the tea cup on the small table to the ground with her hand, making a loud noise, and she even said with an angry face: "Damn it! Damn it! Unexpectedly!
I actually led the wolf into the inner chamber and believed you, a white-eyed wolf."
Caiyan was so tortured by the ants all over her body, coupled with the severe pain coming from her finger bones, she begged in a cold sweat: "My lord, I have told everything I know. Please spare me."
Hearing her words, Wen Ruqing suddenly calmed down from her anger, but she was even more frightening. There was no charming smile between her eyebrows, only endless coldness and bloodthirst, "Spare you?"
You betrayed me like this and you still want me to spare you, it's just an idiot's dream!"
"But your noble lord just said clearly that as long as the slave speaks of the Lord's messenger, you will spare the slave." Caiyan was so panicked that she didn't know what to do. When she just spoke, several ants had already crawled into her mouth.
, itching all the way down her throat, she felt like there were ants crawling even in her stomach at the moment, that feeling was really going to drive people crazy.
Wen Ruqing sneered and said, "Did I say that? I just said that if you don't say it, these ants will follow you all your life, but I didn't say that if you say it, the ants won't follow you."
"You...you lied to me!" Caiyan shouted with all her strength, her eyes filled with endless fear and despair.
"All of this is the punishment you deserve, for your betrayal of me!" With these words, Wen Ruqing screamed hysterically. She had never suffered such a big loss after being in the palace for so long.
, she discovered that Caiyan's whereabouts were strange, and that everything she did was going to happen to Caiyan. All of this made her not hate or angry.
More and more ants are crawling on Caiyan's body, and more are crawling in from the outside. From a distance, it is like a black and thick thread wrapping Caiyan layer by layer. No matter how hard she struggles, it will not help.
.
Just as Wen Ruqing watched Caiyan wailing with cold eyes, there were rapid footsteps outside. She looked up and saw Wen Ruyan walking in quickly.
Wen Ruqing was shocked. It was not yet time to break up with Wen Ruyan. If she saw him treating Caiyan like this, it would be difficult to explain. If she got suspicious, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
As soon as this thought came to her mind and before anyone could deal with it, Wen Ruyan walked in. When she saw Caiyan lying on the ground and the ants all over her body, she couldn't help being frightened. She took a step back and almost almost
fall.
"Master, be careful." Wen Ruyan's personal eunuch gave her a hand and reminded her.
Wen Ruyan stroked her chest, composed herself and said sternly to Wen Ruqing who was walking over: "Ruqing, what are you doing?"
