Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 287 Punishment
"What do you mean?!" Yu Tai said stiffly, holding his throat. His voice was not loud, and Dan Xin who was standing beside him couldn't even hear clearly, but Shen Xinniang, who had keen senses, could hear it very clearly.

Shen Xinniang chuckled, "Uncle Yu destroyed Lingshan back then, because he was afraid that he would die early? Isn't what you have been pursuing all along, want to prolong your life and live a long life? Now, your wish has come true."

"You, what are you talking about?" Yu Tai stared at Shen Xinniang, his eyes fixed for a moment.

Shen Xinniang smiled calmly, "However, in this state, it's just longevity."

Hearing this, Yu Tai was very agitated, as if he wanted to get up from the chair, strangle Shen Xinniang's slender neck, and vent his anger, but he couldn't move, and because he was too emotional, he couldn't move. His head was flushed and bloodshot, even the corners of his mouth were tilted to one side, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"Brother, don't worry, brother, there will be a solution!" Yu Miao frowned, raised her hand on Yu Tai's shoulder and comforted him.

"Are you afraid? Are you afraid like this? What is waiting for you is much more than that? You are living in pain, and you will never feel better when you die. So many innocent souls on Lingshan are waiting for you!" Shen Xinniang said slowly.

"Shut up!" Yu Miao scolded, frowning.

The butler kept patting Yu Tai's chest to comfort him. After a long time of hustle and bustle, Yu Tai finally recovered and looked at Shen Xinniang with resentment in his eyes, "You have hurt me like this, you must have a way... Do you think that King Qi would do that?" Came to rescue you? Don't dream...he didn't worry about your safety, but instead contacted the ministers and henchmen to take this opportunity to join me!" Yu Tai said with the corner of his mouth crooked, his saliva dripped carelessly as he spoke, looking a bit Dementia made his harsh words a little ridiculous.

"He does what he should do, there is nothing he shouldn't." Shen Xinniang said lightly.

"Yes...he is not in a hurry to save you. If you don't tell the truth, just wait to die here! Maybe before you die, you can still hear the news that he married a new princess!" Yu Tai gasped, "He In order to play me, it is said that I am very close to Cai Xiang, the daughter of the Cai family, do you remember?"

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and didn't speak, as if she didn't respond to his words.

The panic, nervousness, and eagerness that Yu Tai expected could not be seen on her face.

"Ms. Shen, are you open?" Yu Tai's two fingers that could move were hard on the armrest of the chair.

Shen Xinniang nodded lightly, "Why don't you look away, Yu Tai, I have died once, and I lived to see that your life would be better than death. Now that I have seen it, what else can I not look away from?"

Yu Tai was gasping for breath, but his lips were squirming but he couldn't speak.

Shen Xinniang was on the side, indifferently, as if she was being questioned or coerced.

"Take her to be tortured! I want to see... see how hard her mouth is! How hard her bones are! Hurry up!" Yu Tai said with his chest heaving violently.

There was disapproval on Yu Miao's face, "Brother, so..."

"You want to... say something nice? For her?" Yu Tai's stiff neck wanted to turn around and look at his younger brother, but obviously he couldn't do this simple movement, and his gaze was still staring straight ahead, but this The words were undoubtedly meant for Yu Miao.

Yu Miao frowned, "After all, she's a little lady, and her complexion is not very good..."

"Yu Miao, do you think she is your guest? Or did you make your brother such an enemy?" Yu Tai said angrily.

Yu Miao pursed her lips, did not speak, and looked at Shen Xinniang with complicated eyes.He was not unfamiliar with the methods of torture in the Northwest Camp. Sometimes he caught Turkic spies. Although he had never done it himself, he had seen all kinds of torture tools.He couldn't bear the thought of using torture on this little lady.

But seeing the anger on his brother's face, and the indifference on Shen Xiniang's face, he was speechless again.

The butler called his subordinates and escorted Shen Xiniang and Dan Xin away from the warm and comfortable wing room to a dark and cold courtyard.

There was snow in the past two days, although the snow wasn't falling heavily, but the ground was muddy and wet. There didn't seem to be any earth burning dragons in this yard, let alone a heater. People couldn't help shivering when they entered the yard.

"Go in." The attendants pushed Shen Xinniang and Dan Xin.

Dan Xin wasn't really worried about herself, but she kept looking at Shen Xinniang nervously, her tightly pursed lips were almost bloodless, the lady is pregnant now, if the torture is really carried out, can the lady bear it?Can the child in the woman's womb bear it?
"My lady... my lady..." Dan Xin looked back, and Yu Tai and Yumiao followed, but they were a little farther away, and at this moment, they stopped, and Yu Miao was bending over to give her brother a tug The fox fur cloak wrapped in front of the chair should not be able to hear their voices, so she lowered her voice even more, "If you want to procrastinate, madam, you can do it first! Mistress, don't hold back! Mistress ..."

This is the first time for Shen Xinniang to see Yu Tai after he took the elixir and became ill. Although she had inferred before, and Ziyang Zhenren and the prince had confirmed her inference, it was not as good as what she had seen with her own eyes.

The person who killed Master and so many innocent lives in Lingshan back then, the person who was arrogant and domineering and did not take other people's lives seriously, the person who was most afraid of death, the person who was most reluctant to die, now life is better than death, so It's really a joy to watch while lingering and struggling to survive!
Afraid of death, let him not survive, not die!
"Lady, did you hear what the servant girl said?" Dan Xin asked again in a low voice.

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense!" The entourage holding Dan Xin shouted coldly, and tied Dan Xin's hands and feet to the punishment post.

Shen Xinniang was also tied to the stake.

The clothes of the two of them were not thick, and the torture room was gloomy and cold, as if it was much colder than the yard with the cold wind blowing.

"My lady..." Dan Xin wanted to persuade Shen Xiniang again, but before she could say anything, she saw Yu Miao and her party had already entered the execution room.

Two tall and strong men followed a short man with a stern face and entered the torture room behind Yu Tai Yumiao.

"Mrs. Chen, if you can tell the truth, Uncle Guo doesn't want to embarrass you. The past is over, and people have to look forward. It's not good for each other if you always hold back. What's left of Lingshan now? Even if you avenged the Lingshan people back then, so what? You have fallen to such a state now, you must live a good life? Is it difficult for anyone who is tossing around?" The butler stood behind Yu Tai's wheelchair, looking at Looking at Shen Xinniang, she said coldly.

Shen Xinniang smiled calmly, but did not speak.

The butler snorted coldly, "You'll be punished later, let's see if you can still laugh!"

After finishing speaking, the butler turned his head and nodded at the short man. The man nodded, and took a long and thin whip from the hand of the strong man beside him. There are small barbs, reflecting the not very bright light, and the sharp barbs are shining.

When the whip goes down, I don't know how much flesh and blood will be hooked.

The short man sneered, shook the thin whip in his hand, and stepped forward.

Seeing this, Dan Xin's back was covered with cold sweat, and his teeth were chattering uncontrollably, "Come at me! You come at me! My wife is the current Princess Qi! You dare to touch my princess! My prince will not let you go!" ! The Holy Majesty will not spare you either!"

Yu Tai's stiff eyes swept over to Dan Xin.

Dan Xin, who was stared at by him, felt in a daze as if she was being stared at by a cold big snake, but she did not show any weakness, "Uncle Yu, you just don't care about anything for the sake of living alone? The empress dowager is still in the harem, and the Yu clan is still in Jinyang! If you offend my prince, you can live, so can your Yu clan survive? Let my princess go!"

In Yu Tai's throat, there was a turbid laugh, like coughing up phlegm.It sounds very uncomfortable.

Yu Miao frowned slightly, and there seemed to be more worries in her lowered eyes.

"Am I afraid of him? When I marched and fought, he was still a kid..." Yu Tai said vaguely.

Dan Xin didn't hear what he said, frowned, and looked at Shen Xinniang worriedly.

Shen Xinniang was tied to the punishment post, she didn't seem to do anything, she didn't speak, and she didn't even struggle a bit, as if she had accepted her fate, but there was always a calm smile on her face.

Naturally, it is impossible for Dan Xin to discover that Shen Xinniang is mobilizing the spiritual power of the Yin-Yang spring eye on the palm of her left hand, entering into the lower abdomen to protect the fetus in the womb. She is not afraid of suffering and enduring some pain. Injuried.

"Princess Qi, do you really have nothing to say?" Yu Miao asked suddenly, her eyes were dark, and if there was a way, he didn't want to make things irreparable, "If you are willing to save My brother, what I said before still counts, and Miao will do what she says."

Both Shen Xinniang and Dan Xin looked up at him.

Even the housekeeper standing behind Yu Tai raised his head in surprise and stared at him closely.

Yu Tai, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was even more surprised when he heard the words, and said anxiously: "You made... what promise to her behind my back? I didn't... promise... I can't count it!"

Yu Miao didn't look at her brother, nor did she pay attention to his words.He just looked at Shen Xinniang quietly.

Shen Xinniang pursed her lips and did not speak.

"Hmph...do it." Yu Tai said coldly.

The butler immediately raised his voice and ordered, "Do you hear me, do it—"

Snapped--

He slammed the whip at Shen Xiniang.Shen Xinniang closed her eyes slightly, concentrating on protecting her lower abdomen.She must protect her child, her and Fang Yan's child.

"Ah..." A shrill and broken scream resounded through the cold and gloomy room, and the ears of everyone in the shaking room hurt.

The housekeeper looked at Dan Xin angrily, and spat, "It didn't hit you, what's your name?"

Tears welled up in Dan Xin's eyes, "My lady, my lady, don't hold back, if there is a way, my lady just say it, say it!"

There was still a faint smile on Shen Xiniang's face, even though the place where the whip had been thrown, her clothes were torn and blood gushed out, but her complexion was a little paler than before, as if she didn't feel any pain at all.

It was far less embarrassing and frightening than Dan Xin who was crying at the top of his voice.

The housekeeper nodded when he heard the words, "Mrs. Shen, did you see that? Even your maid is wiser than you!"

Shen Xinniang slowly closed her eyes without saying a word.
