For the first time, Qi Yan felt that a few seconds were so long.

At first she could still hold her breath, but as the oxygen in her lungs became thinner and thinner, her brain became dizzy and swollen, and she couldn't even think.

I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to choke myself to death.

She truly experienced death, the suffocating feeling of almost losing consciousness. The mulberry paper stacked on her face pressed tightly against her face, almost peeling off her entire face.

Just when she was about to fall into endless darkness, the executioner said loudly: "Uncover it."

Several layers of mulberry paper on his face were torn off in an instant.

Oxygen surged in.

Qi Yan gasped for air, her vision blurred, and she couldn't tell whether it was because of the alcohol on her face or the excessive lack of oxygen in her brain.

She calmed down for a while, raised her head with difficulty, and looked at the king sitting on the high platform through her hazy eyes.

She couldn't see his face clearly, and could only vaguely make out the red robe and black cloak.

"Have you thought about it? Where is the jade seal?" On the high platform, Beitang Shu held a smooth white bead in his hand and played with it.

She panted for a long time before she regained her composure, and her voice was hoarse when she opened her mouth: "I thought of it."

Beitangshu leaned forward slightly.

She continued to say with difficulty: "It's at your house."

These remarks are undoubtedly a provocation and mockery of the monarch's authority.

Beitang Shu nodded, his handsome face showing no unnecessary expression. He waved his hand, and then the soldier put the mulberry paper on her face again.

"Add a few more layers." Beitang Shu pinched the white beads and looked coldly.

The second torture time was much longer than the first.

So much so that the strength of her kicking legs gradually weakened, and finally she gradually stopped moving and her head tilted to the side.

The executioner immediately shouted: "Take it off!" He had not forgotten His Majesty's instructions. He could not let her die, otherwise he would not have chosen such a treatment-friendly punishment.

The yellowed mulberry paper was peeled off, revealing a pale little face, her lips were bloodless, her eyes were tightly closed, and there was no movement.

Beitang glanced at the executioner.

The latter immediately broke out in a cold sweat and ran down the steps to check the situation. He nervously tested her breath and neck pulse and found that she was still breathing.

He was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he reported: "Your Majesty, he just fainted."

"Then wait until she wakes up and continue." Beitang Shu threw the white beads to the executioner, "If she can't hold on anymore in the end, give her this."

"Yes." The executioner took the beads with both hands.

This is actually an ingenious medicine shell, used to store rare pills. When you need to take them, you have to crush the outer shell and eat the pill inside.

The executioner had heard about this thing for a long time. He heard that there were only five pills in the palace. They were life-extending magic pills that would not be used unless absolutely necessary. In the past few years, His Majesty used three pills during battles and assassinations, but now there are only two pills left.

He actually took one out for her to use?

She didn't receive any serious punishment.

The executioner was confused, but he kept the life-saving elixir properly and observed her condition carefully.

……

Qi Yan has never experienced suffocation so frequently.

The air was coming in and out, and her lungs were so hot that they were about to explode.

D77 was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but there was nothing it could do.

Qi Yan really felt that she was going to die, but just when she couldn't hold on any longer, something was stuffed in her mouth.

She swallowed it vaguely and then fell unconscious.

When she opened her eyes, what she saw in front of her was not a damp and cold water prison, but a soft bed. She seemed to be lying in cotton, very comfortable.

The room was lit with soothing incense.

She looked and saw that the tattered clothes she had worn had been replaced. She was covered with a brocade quilt, and the curtains hanging on the bed shone in the dim candlelight.

She didn't sit up immediately, but waited for a while.

Until there were footsteps outside, she closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

"Why aren't you awake yet?" Beitang Shu's voice sounded a little impatient.

"Return to Your Majesty." The middle-aged imperial doctor tried hard to choose his words: "This woman had a knife wound on her body earlier, and she also suffered from cold. Coupled with the torture in winter, her life was on the line. Thanks to the elixir, she saved her life. It’s normal to be unconscious at the moment.”

"Let the imperial pharmacy always prepare medicine, and feed her when she wakes up."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

The middle-aged imperial doctor bowed and left respectfully. There was cold sweat on his forehead when he walked out of the bedroom.

Beitang Shu walked to the bed and looked at the woman who was still sleeping on the bed. For a moment, he felt that there was nothing he could do to her.

She was not afraid of death, she even wished he would kill her, but she also cared about the people of Wei Kingdom and was reluctant to die.

She would rather suffer than tell where the imperial seal of the Kingdom of Wei is.

What a tough mouth.

In the past, he would have beaten people to death with sticks, but he was too curious about the jade seal of Wei Kingdom. The less he could get, the more he wanted.

While he was thinking, the woman on the bed frowned and her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

Just when he thought she was about to open her eyes, she fell asleep again without even moving her eyelids.

Beitangshu: "..."

The sarcastic words he had prepared were suppressed in his mouth.

Beitang Shu rolled down his sleeves and went to the table in the bedroom to read the memorial.

The beauty sleeping on the bed raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

She fell asleep with peace of mind. If she didn't catch up on her sleep now, when would she wait?

During this sleep, Qi Yan slept in darkness. It wasn't because she left Beitang Shu outside intentionally, but because the sleeping environment was so good.

When she opened her eyes, the sky outside was bright, as if it was still early morning.

She was a little hungry, so she sat up and looked around, but she didn't see Beitang Shu.

"anyone there?"

Generally speaking, when the master is sleeping, there will be slaves outside the door or in a compartment in the room, waiting for the master's instructions.

What's more, this is a royal palace, so there will naturally be no shortage of slaves and maids.

She just shouted softly, and the door of the bedroom opened a crack, and a maid walked in with a low eyebrow and said softly: "You're awake."

"Well, where is Beitang Shu?"

When the maid heard that Qi Yan dared to call the king by his name, she was so frightened that she could not speak. No one in the world knew His Majesty's cruel methods. She had never seen such a disrespectful person.

When Qi Yan saw that she was silent, she thought that the maid didn't want to pay attention to her, so it didn't matter. Anyway, Beitang Shu would come over by himself sooner or later.

"Get me something to eat, thank you."

The maid bowed: "Yes."

In fact, the maid didn't know who this woman was. She was just an ordinary little maid who waited on others. She followed the steward's order and came to watch the night, waiting for the girl to wake up. If she did, she would report to His Majesty as soon as possible.

Just now she took a sneak peek and saw that the girl was so beautiful, even more gorgeous than His Majesty.

She hurried to His Majesty's chamber.

Beitang Shu got up early to practice his sword. In winter, the snow on the treetops was crystal clear, and the whistling sword energy passed by, making snowflakes fly.

"Your Majesty... the woman woke up and said she was hungry and wanted to eat something."
