She said indifferently to the palace maid: "This kind of punishment will not kill you, but it will make your life worse than death."
"When the pain reaches the extreme, when you really can't bear it anymore, you will pass out, but don't worry, I will wake you up immediately."
The palace maid's eyes trembled, but before she could say anything, several eunuchs were already walking towards her with silver needles and sinister smiles.
For the first time, a look of panic appeared on the palace maid's face. She struggled hard twice, but the Ouchi guards behind her suppressed her firmly.
No matter how hard he struggled, he remained motionless.
"Remember, when the silver needle goes in, go slower. The slower, the better. The slower, the longer and more intense the pain will be. She will definitely like that feeling." Zhao Rui is like a female devil.
A normal voice came at the right time.
"No! Don't!" the palace maid screamed.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the eunuchs were ruthless and had already grabbed her finger.
Then according to the method Zhao Rui said, she used a silver needle that shone with cold light to pierce the nails of the palace maid's fingers.
Moreover, this process is extremely slow.
Ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the connection between nails and fingers is the weakest and most sensitive.
So when the silver needle pierced the nail, the palace maid immediately let out a miserable scream.
"ah!!!!"
The screams were so horrifying that everyone nearby who had been mentally prepared felt their hearts tremble, as if a stream of cold air was flowing straight from the soles of their feet to the sky.
Such a cruel punishment, not to mention personally experiencing it, even watching it from the side, makes one feel chilled from the bottom of his heart.
Only Zhao Rui watched all this indifferently.
The palace maid, who had been very confident before, rolled her eyes and fainted after the nails on her ten fingers were picked open.
Zhao Rui's face was expressionless, and she said coldly: "Go get a basin of cold water and pour it on her to wake her up."
Immediately, someone brought a basin of cold water and poured it directly on the palace maid's head.
There was a splash, and under the stimulation of cold water, the palace maid woke up leisurely.
As soon as she woke up she opened her mouth and screamed.
"It's very noisy."
Zhao Rui frowned and said impatiently: "Go find a rag and plug her mouth."
A eunuch immediately brought a rag and stuffed the palace maid's mouth tightly.
Zhao Rui felt that her ears were much quieter, and then she said: "Take off her shoes and socks, and pick out all ten toenails."
The previous eunuchs were merciless and took off the maid's shoes and socks upon hearing this.
But at this time, the palace maid struggled violently.
Shaking her head desperately, she spat out the smelly rag that she found in her mouth. She screamed: "Kill me quickly, don't torture me anymore!"
"Can't you stand it?" Zhao Rui said with a sneer.
"I've just started, but you can't stand it anymore. I still think your bones are so hard."
"I said I would make it impossible for you to survive or die. This is just an appetizer right now. The real show is yet to come. It doesn't matter. I have plenty of time to play with you slowly."
Looking at Zhao Rui in front of her with trembling eyes, the palace maid's eyes showed for the first time something other than madness and resentment, which was full of fear.
Zhao Rui could see that after the extreme physical torture, the palace maid's psychological defense was gradually collapsing. At this time, perhaps with a little guidance, the palace maid's defense could be completely collapsed.
