Chapter 133: Methods of Torturing People

"Oh no, this little bastard is trying to escape!"

The person who stabbed Concubine Hua was quite skilled and was about to break free and escape.

After Xiao Yunzi confirmed that there was no danger around, he walked over and knocked the man out with one hand.

"Humph, you want to run? No way!"

The Yikun Palace, which had been quiet for a long time, became "lively" because of the stabbing of Concubine Hua. Wen Shichu arrived in time and stopped the bleeding for Concubine Hua.

"Doctor Wen, Concubine Hua..."

Zhen Huan nervously held Shen Meizhuang's hand, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

On the way here, Wen Shichu also heard about what happened in general. He knew that Concubine Hua was stabbed while trying to save Zhen Huan, so he knew that Zhen Huan was very worried about Concubine Hua.

"Don't worry, my lady. Concubine Hua is not in danger of death for the time being. She just needs to rest for a while, but..."

Wen Shichu paused for a moment, his face full of sadness.

Shen Meizhuang was anxious, "Just tell me what you have to say, do you want to make Huan'er anxious to death?"

Wen Shichu then said, "It's just that the scar on Concubine Hua's abdomen may still remain even if the medicine is used."

When Zhen Huan heard this, tears started to fall.

When entering the palace, the supervising nanny would not only verify whether each girl was a virgin, but also check whether the girl had any defects or scars on her body.

Therefore, every concubine who entered the palace took great care of her body and skin for fear of damage.

Now Concubine Hua has scars on her body, which must be a big blow to someone as beautiful as her.

When Wen Shichu saw Zhen Huan was sad, he hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, my lady. I have heard that there are many wonderful folk recipes for removing scars. If I spend more time, I should be able to develop a formula."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan quickly wiped away her tears.

"In this case, Doctor Wen should pay more attention to it."

After working until late at night, Concubine Hua's injuries were finally stabilized.

Songzhi stayed by her side with her eyes red from crying, and the Yikun Palace also strengthened its defenses.

Zhen Huan did not sleep and interrogated the eunuch who stabbed Concubine Hua overnight.

Under torture, the young eunuch said that it was Concubine Hua who sent someone to ask him to do so.

When Zhen Huan heard this, she was shocked.

Seeing Zhen Huan's fear and confusion, Jin Xi took the initiative to ask, "Are you sure it was Concubine Hua who taught you to do this?"

The young eunuch was tied to a cross, his body covered with bleeding scars.

"I am sure that it was the maidservant beside her who came to tell me personally. It cannot be false."

After hearing this, Zhen Huan became even more confused. She looked at Jin Xi, and Jin Xi shook her head.

After the two of them avoided the young eunuch, Jin Xi said to Zhen Huan, "My lady, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhen Huan thought for a moment and said, "The target of the person behind this was me, but they never expected that Concubine Hua was also there."

Jin Xi looked at her master with relief, "The young eunuch said that it was the maidservant beside Concubine Hua who asked him to do this. We can call all the maids in Yikun Palace over and ask him to identify them one by one."

Zhen Huan thought Jin Xi's idea was good, but she was a maid in Yikun Palace after all, so she had to ask Concubine Hua for permission to do so.

But Concubine Hua is still in a coma.

Jinxi thinks the fastest.

"Empress Hua has been seriously injured and has taken a tranquilizer. She won't wake up for a while. This matter should be resolved quickly and without delay. Aunt Songzhi has a good relationship with Empress Hua and is also the head maid of Yikun Palace. I think this matter can be discussed with her."

Zhen Huan agreed with this and went to find Aunt Songzhi in person to tell her the whole story.

Songzhi was extremely anxious when she saw that her master was so seriously injured, and she wished she could cut the real culprit into pieces. When she heard that Zhen Huan needed to identify the palace maids to find out the real culprit, she immediately agreed to cooperate with the investigation.

Half an hour later, after all the maids in Yikun Palace, including Songzhi herself, were identified one by one by the young eunuch, Zhen Huan discovered that none of them was the maid from that night.

Zhen Huan asked Song Zhi again, "Have all the maids from Yikun Palace arrived?"

Songzhi nodded.

"If it wasn't the maid from the Yikun Palace who went to inform the young eunuch, then it was the maid from another family who impersonated the maid from the Yikun Palace." Zhen Huan analyzed.

Songzhi asked: "Since the young eunuch has seen the maid's face, he should be able to recognize her if he sees her again."

Zhen Huan sighed, "This is where the difficulty lies. There are so many maids in the harem, we can't call all of them over."

Seeing that Zhen Huan was getting anxious, Jin Xi held her hand and said gently, "My lady usually has the fastest brain. Why are you so flustered today?"

Zhen Huan looked at Jin Xi, and seeing that she seemed to have an idea, she hurriedly asked what to do.

Jinxi said: "My lady, who do you think is most likely to harm you in the harem? Also, why did this happen right after you broke Yuxuan? Was it really just an accident?"

After hearing Jin Xi's analysis, Zhen Huan had some vague guesses in her mind.

Zhen Huan asked Xiao Yunzi to guard the young eunuch and not let him die, nor allow anyone to approach or visit him.

"My lord, An has agreed to come."

As soon as she returned to the room, Liuzhu told Zhen Huan that An Lingrong came to visit her.

Zhen Huan suppressed her emotions and asked Liuzhu to bring An Lingrong in.

"Sister, are you okay?" An Lingrong looked anxious as she came in.

When he saw Zhen Huan sitting in front of him safe and sound, a flash of disappointment appeared in his eyes, but it only lasted for a moment.

"Sister, weren't you punished by Noble Lady Fucha? Why are you here?" Zhen Huan caught the momentary disappointment in An Lingrong's eyes, but she remained calm.

"It doesn't matter if she whipped me a few times. My sister has thick skin and tough flesh." An Lingrong smiled, sat on the chair, and made a sound of "ouch".

It sounds like he was beaten badly by Noble Lady Fucha.

Zhen Huan glanced at An Lingrong and found her face full of doubts. She pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I almost lost the child tonight. Fortunately, Xiao Yunzi caught the thief in time."

An Lingrong's eyes flashed with panic for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Fortunately, we caught him. Sister, do you know who is the mastermind behind this?"

Baojuan slowly raised her head, which had been hanging down.

"Alas, that thief is very stubborn. He refused to reveal the mastermind even after being tortured for a long time." Zhen Huan pretended to sigh.

An Lingrong smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I can ask for you."

Zhen Huan was surprised and said, "Sister, how can a weak woman like you face such a vicious person?"

Baojuan immediately said, "Lady Wan, I will accompany our young master."

An Lingrong immediately said, "Baojuan knows some ways to torture people. With her around, there's no doubt that the thief won't reveal the name of the mastermind behind the scenes."

Zhen Huan said happily: "In that case, thank you very much, sister."

An Lingrong stood up and looked at Zhen Huan's belly, "Sister, if you are pregnant, don't go, lest you see something dirty."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news here." Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong gratefully.

An Lingrong smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked out with Baojuan.
