Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

But she clenched her teeth tightly, unwilling to make a sound even though she was in extreme pain.

Blood flowed from her mouth, it was so shocking!

"Stop torturing me!" Shen Mengyao shouted at the top of her lungs, "What on earth are you trying to do? Come after me, not her. If you have the guts, torture me. Am I not the mastermind in your eyes? All the punishments can prove my innocence. True gold is not afraid of fire. Come after me!"

The female official snorted coldly: "Princess, don't worry, your blessing is still to come. If she confesses, you will naturally suffer!"

Shen Mengyao was extremely sad, but there was nothing she could do.

Queyue gritted her teeth and tried to comfort her: "Princess, I'm fine. As long as I go through all the punishments in this prison and don't say anything, the emperor will definitely believe that you are innocent."

"If I go through this again, I'll be crippled if not dead. What's the point of being innocence?" Shen Mengyao bit her lips tightly.

Queyue gave a pale and weak smile: "Princess, I'm fine, just close your eyes and don't look."

As soon as she finished speaking, the female official suddenly snatched the long needle from the executioner's hand, grabbed her finger, put the tip of the needle against her finger, and pierced half of it.

"Group leader, take a good look. Because of your decision, the people around you will suffer because of you. First it was her hands, then her legs, and then her life. They are all slipping away bit by bit. Can you bear to see it?"

Eunuch Luo sighed when he saw such a cruel method. He wanted to dissuade it, but he thought less trouble is better. He swallowed back all the words he wanted to say!

Queyue had already reached her limit of endurance. As the saying goes, the fingers are connected to the heart. This time she could not bear it any longer and screamed out in pain.

But she still insisted, saying intermittently: "The princess has never done such a thing, let alone instructed me to do such a thing. Who sent you? You want to slander the princess!"

The female official snorted coldly: "Who sent me? I was sent by the emperor himself. Do you want to say that the emperor slandered you?"

Queyue frowned: "I didn't say that."

"Well, since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude. I wonder how long you can endure this silver needle sticking into your slender fingers?"

She took out the second silver needle, which flashed coldly under the candlelight, making people shudder. Queyue's face turned even paler due to the severe pain, but she still held on, looking at Shen Mengyao firmly, her eyes full of unyielding.

"Princess, please don't be sad. Although I am just a maid, I know that loyalty is more important than anything else. The suffering I endured today was only to prove your innocence. I have no regrets."

Although her voice was weak, every word was sonorous, like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and strong.

Tears welled up in Shen Mengyao's eyes. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms, as if this could help share some of Queyue's pain.

She knew that by saying this she was forcing herself to stand firm and watch her being tortured, and she must not testify because of it.

"Queyue, why are you doing this? I shouldn't have let you get involved in this dispute."

Her voice was choked with sobs, full of self-blame and heartache.

Seeing this, the female official curled up the corner of her mouth into a sneer, and the silver needle in her hand once again approached Queyue's fingers. Her pair of cold and ruthless eyes were staring at Shen Mengyao's eyes.

"Princess, if you still insist on not changing your ways, don't blame me for being ruthless. There is no regret medicine after you take this silver needle."

Queyue's hands can wield swords to protect people. She has learned martial arts for so many years. If these hands were destroyed one day, how sad she would be.

Shen Mengyao could not selfishly sacrifice others to preserve her own innocence, so she made up her mind and closed her eyes.

"That's enough. Stop torturing me. I'll tell you everything you want."

When Queyue heard this, she sat up straight in surprise: "No, Princess, you can't admit it."

Shen Mengyao knew clearly that without a miracle, no one would come to save her at this moment. She was locked in this deep inner prison, and she could only rely on herself to ensure the safety of both of them.

Just as she was about to speak, the female official hit Queyue hard with a whip.

"You don't need to talk nonsense."

Queyue was crying in pain and couldn't utter a word.

Shen Mengyao was also angry: "I've already said that I can give you the information you want, why do you still want to touch the shoes?"

The female official placed a piece of paper and pen directly in front of her: "The princess is fine, so you can write a confession yourself, right? Then please."

Shen Mengyao took a deep breath, looked at her fiercely, walked to the desk, picked up the pen and prepared to write.

However, just as the tip of the pen was about to touch the paper, a look of determination flashed in Shen Mengyao's eyes.

Of course he would not commit a crime, he just wrote down the process and the results of the investigation, and asked who else might do such a thing to frame him. He also asked the emperor to order an investigation into the ***.

After she finished writing, she blew the ink off the paper and handed it to the female official.

"Okay, you go directly to the emperor, and by the way, tell him something. If the emperor has any questions, you can ask me to see him, and I will explain it to him in person."

Unexpectedly, the female official directly opened her confession, glanced at it, and frowned.

"Well, it's fine if you don't say a word about what you did, but you actually dare to accuse others. You must be tired of living!"

Shen Mengyao stared at her coldly: "Anyway, you just want a confession. I have already written it, so you can present it to the emperor."

"If such a weird thing is sent to the emperor, he will probably be furious." The female official snorted.

Eunuch Luo was also a little fed up with what he saw, so he came out and said something fair: "We are only responsible for the interrogation. As for the final result of the operation, we still need to ask the emperor to review it first."

"The emperor wouldn't want to see such words." Without saying anything, the female official tore up the paper and asked someone to bring another piece of paper: "Princess, please write it again. Things have come to this point. It's useless to resist stubbornly!"

Shen Mengyao raised her head and sneered.

"What kind of truth do you want? Is it the truth in your heart or the real truth? Is it only possible if I write something that satisfies you?"

The female official looked at her with eyes as cold as a venomous snake.

"Everything is already clear to everyone, why are you saying these useless things? You are wasting the emperor's time. Do you know that the emperor is very worried about the border issues? Your family is not easy to deal with. You make the emperor anxious day and night. I advise you to take care of yourself."
