The First Daughter Reborn: The Snake Queen is not easy to mess with

Chapter 104 Confession
"Ah~"

In the dungeon, Meng Yizhen was tied to the cross wooden platform, and the guard whipped it down. After all, Meng Yizhen couldn't bear the pain, and he cried out in pain. After the whip marks fell, blood slowly oozes from the inside.

Immediately after the second whip came down, Meng Yizhen bit his lips tightly to prevent himself from making a sound. After the third whip and the fourth whip, Meng Yizhen was still unwilling to let out another scream. Ben was ordered to teach Meng Yizhen a lesson when the guard saw When Meng Yizhen looked like this, his competitive spirit forced him to beat the whip on Meng Yizhen over and over again, desperately hoping that she would scream like before.

Unfortunately, even though Meng Yizhen's lips were bleeding from the bite and his face was as pale as paper, Meng Yizhen didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Not long after, Meng Yizhen passed out, and the guards saw that it was almost the same day, so they released her and threw her into the prison.

Meng Yizhen woke up again because of the pain. She only moved a little, and the wound on her body felt an unbearable stabbing pain. Even so, she resisted the pain and sat up, as if it took half a century. After getting up, Meng Yizhen's forehead was covered with sweat.

"what happened to you?"

Li Yuchuan didn't know when he stood at the door of the prison, looked at the scars all over her body, frowned into a line, and then said angrily to the guards behind him in a cold tone: "The emperor said to lock him up, but he didn't." Said to torture to extract a confession! Have you eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!!"

After hearing this, the guard hurriedly knelt down in front of Li Yuchuan, and begged for mercy: "The eighth prince, please forgive me, the younger one just obeyed the order, and doesn't know anything else."

"I don't know? Did you know that His Highness directly killed you here today?" Li Yuchuan was so angry that he drew out the long sword at his waist and pressed it to the guard's neck, scaring the guard so much that he kept begging for mercy. .

Meng Yizhen took a difficult look at Li Yuchuan, and interjected in a weak tone: "Okay, he is just being ordered by others, even if you kill him, it won't help."

After hearing this, Li Yuchuan withdrew his long sword unwillingly, and said coldly, "Get lost!"

Then the guard fled in a hurry.

Li Yuchuan looked at the weak Meng Yizhen in the prison with distress, and couldn't help but said: "If you continue like this, you will be beaten to death in prison before you find out the truth, or I will take you back to the mansion directly. I naturally have a reason to respond to my father!"

After hearing this, Meng Yizhen sneered, and said coldly: "Response? What should I do? I appreciate the kindness of His Highness the Eighth Highness, and the Eighth Highness should not interfere in this matter."

"How could I not intervene!"

Li Yuchuan retorted a little excitedly, looked deeply at Meng Yizhen for a while, and then took a deep breath and said meaningfully: "I don't believe that after so long you can't see clearly what my Highness is thinking. I'm just avoiding it deliberately, is it so difficult to take a look at His Highness Benben?"

Meng Yizhen replied unmoved after hearing this: "If His Highness is asked to look back at Shengli, how does His Highness feel?"

After hearing this, Li Yuchuan was at a loss for words, and then replied with some forceful words: "But now I say it's not Shengli, but you, Meng Yizhen!"

"Is there a difference?"

Even if Meng Yizhen was injured, his indifference towards him did not decrease by half. Li Yuchuan could only suppress the restless emotions in his heart, sighed and said, "I won't argue with you anymore, the queen may send someone over to bring you back soon." You go to the trial of your assassination case, and then you can just keep silent and deny all of this, and let me do the other things."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuchuan took a deep look at Meng Yizhen, turned around and left, his back was a little lonely.

On the second day after Li Yuchuan came, Eunuch Yan brought a court lady to Ling Wanzhi's cell, glanced at Meng Yizhen expressionlessly, and then told the court lady, "Change her clothes."

The maid responded, and then the guard opened the door of the cell, the maid walked in, and everyone else left the prison, leaving only the maid and Meng Yizhen.

Seeing Meng Yizhen, the court lady frowned in disgust, and said in a bad tone: "Get up quickly, or I can't change your clothes." The bullying look was obvious.

Meng Yizhen didn't have any strength at this time, even if he didn't have the ability to control the snake, so he just glanced at the maid, but didn't move.

Seeing this, the palace lady frowned even deeper, and then said in a cold tone: "Since Miss Meng is unwilling to get up, then don't blame the servant girl for being disrespectful to you." Saying so, the palace lady stretched out her hand to hold Meng Yizhen tightly His arm happened to touch the wound, and Meng Yizhen's pained expression instantly became even uglier.

However, the maid's hand strength was astonishing, and she lifted Meng Yizhen vigorously. When she let go of her hand, the blood on the shoulder was stained.

The court lady rubbed the blood on Meng Yizhen's clothes with some distaste, and then began to take off Meng Yizhen's outer shirt, leaving only an inner shirt inside, and put the new dress on for Meng Yizhen. Apart from his pale face, it was impossible to tell that Meng Yizhen had been injured.

Then he forcibly led Meng Yizhen out, Eunuch Yan and the guards were standing at the door waiting for them, they only took one look at Meng Yizhen, turned around slowly and said: "Let's go."

The maid supported Meng Yizhen from behind, and the group came all the way to the gate of Qiankun Palace. If it wasn't for the support of the palace maid, Meng Yizhen would have fallen on the road long ago. At this time, she was simply holding on. It was found that it was full of people, including several princes, emperors and queens, as well as her own father Meng Zhong.

Looking at the battle, Meng Yizhen roughly guessed what he was going to do today.

Thinking of this, Meng Yizhen took a meaningful look at the queen, but the other party slightly turned her eyes away when he touched her, and took a sip of tea slowly.

"The old slave brought Miss Meng's family here." Eunuch Yan changed his appearance just now, and said humbly to the emperor sitting here.

Afterwards, Meng Yizhen was let go by the maid, his legs softened immediately, and he knelt straight in front of the emperor, touching the wound on his body, and subconsciously frowned.

"Criminal daughter Meng Yizhen, you pretended to enter the palace to get close to the queen, but in fact it was to kill the queen, you are guilty!" The emperor asked Meng Yizhen in front of everyone with a stern face.

Despite being seriously injured, Meng Yizhen knelt down neither humble nor overbearing, looked at the emperor fearlessly and said, "If I want to kill the empress, I won't give her a chance to struggle."

Hearing Meng Yizhen's almost cruel words, the emperor became interested. Since ancient times, he has known that he is cruel, and the one who can attract his attention is a woman with her own special means, and Meng Yizhen is like a snake at first sight The poisonous woman has always made him very curious.

"Oh? So, I misunderstood you?" the emperor said with great interest.

Meng Yizhen raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and put his eyes on the queen again, while thinking about it, he said slowly: "The sinner is ignorant, I really can't think of a reason to persecute the empress, can the empress give the sinner a What is the reason for persecuting you?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and when they turned their heads to think, it seemed that what Meng Yizhen said was true.

She didn't even have a reason to persecute the queen, and everyone turned their attention to the queen for a while.

But the queen deliberately exposed a jade bracelet on her wrist without haste, and said with a bit of aggrieved face: "As the victim, how could I know why you persecuted me? You have to explain this matter to the emperor and this palace yourself."

Meng Yizhen's face immediately changed when he saw the bracelet. She recognized the bracelet and remembered that Mrs. Zhang once held her hand and told her that this bracelet was the only thing Zhang's father left her. After coming here, he has never left his body, but now he is on the queen's body. Needless to say, he knows what it means.

Meng Yizhen lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembled on his eyelids, he clenched his hands into fists, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were full of determination, and he said word by word: "Yes, the matter of assassinating the empress is indeed a crime. What women do."

Hearing Meng Yizhen's sudden change of mouth, the emperor smiled and asked back: "You said it yourself just now, and you have no reason to persecute the queen. Now that you have admitted it, you should tell me the reason why you persecuted my queen. What is it?"

Meng Yizhen lowered his eyes after hearing this, and slowly parted his red lips. "Because the empress gave the sinner's younger sister Meng Yiwan the position that originally belonged to the sinner, the sinner felt that the queen was unfair after thinking about it, so she became murderous. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the empress calling the sinner into the palace, she brought a dagger , ready to fight the empress to the death."

When the words came out, the prince sitting on the seat was slightly startled, looking at Meng Yizhen with his head down, he didn't know whether it was joy or sadness for a moment.

When Li Yuchuan heard Meng Yizhen say these words, he almost rushed up to cover her mouth. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was being threatened, otherwise she wouldn't have come to the point of defense. It will be disintegrated suddenly, and even if he knows, it will be useless as a bystander now.

Originally, if she refused to admit it, he could still help, but now there is absolutely no other way.

"In that case, have you admitted that you wanted to kill the queen?" the emperor confirmed again.

Meng Yizhen clenched his fists on both sides, and after a while, he took a deep breath and nodded.

She knew that if she didn't follow the queen's wishes today, then her mother-in-law would be in trouble. The only thing she regrets now is that she didn't move Mrs. Zhang out earlier, otherwise she wouldn't be with her. Lives are threatened.

Meng Yi really pleaded guilty, but in front of so many people, then the crime of premeditating to persecute the current empress will be fulfilled, and deliberately killing the royal family is originally a crime of exterminating the nine clans, but the empress had pleaded for the Meng family back then , it was Meng Yizhen's crime alone, and the emperor fixed the date of Meng Yizhen's death in court.

"Three days later, the first daughter of the Meng family will be executed!"

When the words came out, Meng Zhong in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously glanced at the queen, who nodded to him, and then he was relieved. He had been worried that Meng Yizhen would offend the queen and Meng Yiwan would be sent back. Not only is his identity as the future head of the country no longer exists, but her already notorious little daughter may find it difficult to marry in the future.
