Daughter of the prosperous age: Don't pretend to be stupid

Chapter 374 Painful Killer (15)

"Ah! The wine is poisonous!" An official behind Mr. Zhang shouted when he saw the white smoke on the ground.

As soon as the words fell, the entire Qiongyu Terrace became a mess.Those who drank just now almost wanted to spit out the wine they drank, while those who did not drink were also panicked.

No matter who poisoned them and who they were poisoning for, I'm afraid they won't be able to go home safely and on time tonight.

The emperor and Prince Rong were startled when they heard the words, then their expressions changed drastically at the same time, they got up and looked towards Feng Yurong.

"Your Majesty, father, don't worry, I'm fine." Feng Yurong looked up and saw the expressions of the emperor and Prince Rong, and immediately opened his mouth to explain.

The emperor let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the words, sat heavily on the dragon chair, and then sternly shouted: "Have you not arrested the person who poisoned you?"

When the Imperial Forest Army heard the words "wine is poisonous", they rushed over. Hearing this, they immediately came to Feng Yurong, and dragged the kneeling little eunuch to the center of Qiongyu Terrace.

"Say! Who ordered you to poison?" The emperor was furious.

After the emperor asked this sentence, the little eunuch who begged for mercy just now didn't say a word.

"Pull it down and give him the punishment of grooming. We must find the black hand behind him!" The emperor gritted his teeth and said every word.

Everyone trembled when they heard the words.

The grooming mentioned by the emperor is not a woman's grooming, but the cruelest punishment of Shengqi.It refers to stripping the prisoner naked first, then pouring boiling water on the prisoner's body several times, and finally using an iron brush to comb the prisoner's flesh one by one until the bones of the prisoner are exposed, and finally die.

The third prince was seriously injured before. Although the emperor was furious and demanded to investigate the murderer, he had never used such severe punishment.

Now that Young Prince Rong was unscathed, the emperor was so furious that he even skipped the interrogation process, and directly punished him with grooming...

Everyone felt that the matter was a bit mysterious for a while, but they didn't dare to delve into the mystery inside, so they had to lower their heads and quietly pretend to be dead.

"Your Majesty..." Feng Yurong frowned.

Although he also wanted to find out the mastermind behind it, the little eunuch was obviously just a scapegoat, not worthy of such a cruel punishment.

"Yurong, sit down." The emperor waved his hand, and the little eunuch was dragged down.

"Immediately investigate all the wine here, I want to see who is so bold, who dares to disturb everyone's elegance by poisoning at this time!"

The Imperial Forest Army took the imperial doctor and tested the wine table by table. Everyone held their breath and waited silently for the result of the matter.

There was an open space under the Qiongyu Terrace, and not long after, the crowd heard three heart-piercing screams from the open space.

"It's just pouring a little boiling water. You dare to poison the young prince and you can't even survive this punishment?" The voice of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army sounded,
A timid woman heard the words, her face was pale, she covered her mouth and listened to the movement below.

"Say, who ordered you to poison the young prince?" The voice of the commander of the imperial forest army was clearly heard by everyone.

"Don't say yes, get an iron comb."

"what!……"

The screams one after another made all the bones of the people present feel terrified, and even the ministers who were used to seeing big scenes all looked sad.

The screams became weaker and weaker. Just when everyone thought that the little eunuch was about to die like this, they heard the surprised voice of the commander of the Imperial Forest Army: "Who are you talking about? Louder!"
