"It's... the imperial concubine..." Chu Yunjiao's voice trembled. He was in extreme pain and extremely frightened. "The imperial concubine said... you can use various means to fight for favor. If you go on a hunger strike... if you can't go on a hunger strike, then self-mutilate. If you can't do it, just let yourself go." A woman who falls ill and is weak will always win some pity..."
"Mother Xiong, just don't take a few of her fingers." The temperature in Chu Yunfei's voice dropped sharply, "Pull out her nails piece by piece."
Grandma Xiong nodded: "Yes."
"No!" Chu Yunjiao was almost frightened out of his mind. He stood up and ran away frantically, "No, don't come here - let me go! Ahhh! Let me go! I say! I say! I say!"
Grandma Xiong's eyes were cold and stern: "If the concubine keeps playing tricks, I won't be so kind."
Chu Yunjiao panted rapidly because of fear, looking at Chu Yunfei who was sitting on the chair, at Grandma Xiong and Shengxia who stood aside like a door god, and at the unknown number of guards outside the door.
She lowered her head in despair, her voice hoarse: "King Chen...King Chen has taken a poison in my body, a mother poison... Use this to control...control..."
Chu Yunfei's voice was as strong as iron: "Who do you control?"
"Your Majesty."
"Which prince?"
"War King." Chu Yunjiao's eyes were red, and despair and fear made her voice break. "I didn't mean it! It was all ordered by King Chen. I...I don't dare to resist. I will do whatever he wants me to do, and my father will do the same." Let me listen to him, sister, princess, we are sisters! Please spare me, spare me this time——"
"Why did King Chen ask you to enter Prince Zhan's Mansion?"
"Fighting for favor." Chu Yunjiao's lip was bitten until it was bloody. "He asked me to fight for favor and work hard to get the favor of the King of War. If he has a cold attitude, he will find opportunities to hurt himself and make the King of War suffer... Gu is bloodthirsty, As long as you injure yourself and see blood, the mother voodoo in your body will become restless, and the child voodoo will also attack..."
Chu Yun said coldly: "When you hurt yourself, did it hurt?"
Chu Yunjiao nodded.
"I'm asking about your heart." Chu Yunfei's face was as dark as water. "Does your internal organs hurt? I'm not asking if your wrist hurts."
Chu Yunjiao shook his head quickly: "No, I don't feel it."
"Why?" Chu Yunfei frowned, "Since the restlessness of the child Gu will make life worse than death, why does the restlessness of the mother Gu not hurt?"
Chu Yunjiao shook his head: "I...I don't know. King Chen said he could make me feel painless, otherwise the plan would be difficult to implement."
Difficult to implement?
Chu Yunfei's eyebrows were deep and it was indeed difficult to implement.
If the attack of poison makes life worse than death, how could Chu Yunjiao be willing to endure that kind of pain? I'm afraid that after experiencing it once, I won't dare to try it easily next time.
So King Chen has a way to calm down the mother Gu?
Chu Yunfei continued to interrogate: "Besides, what else did he ask you to do?"
Chu Yunjiao clasped his hands, but he let go immediately in pain, even his lips were trembling: "Let me steal...steal the prince's tiger talisman. It is best to gain the favor of the war king, and then use the poison to control him, let me steal it." He was tortured by the poison and lost his mind, so he took the opportunity to steal his tiger charm."
Chu Yunfei was silent for a moment and said calmly: "There are two tiger talismans. One is in the emperor's hand and the other is in Rong Cang's hand. Even if King Chen gets Rong Cang's military talisman, he will not be able to mobilize his troops."
After Rong Cang returned to Beijing in victory last year, he returned one of the tiger talismans to the emperor.
When there is no war, two tiger charms cannot be placed in the hands of one person, even his own son.
Without the permission of the Holy Oracle, King Chen dared to obtain the military talisman, which meant that he was ambitious.
If the emperor knew, he would never let him go.
Chu Yun's face was as pale as paper, and his face was covered with cold sweat: "King Chen accidentally let it slip before, saying that as long as he gets the Tiger Talisman from the War King, he will have a way to get the piece in the Emperor's hand."
What happens after you get two tiger charms?
What does he want to do?
Directly seeking power and usurping the throne?
Chu Yunfei thought about Rong Cang's last seven years in his previous life, and he could still persist for seven years in that kind of physical condition. Does this mean that he later learned about their vicious plan?
Or maybe he hid the tiger talisman in a place where no one can find it?
During the regicide at the palace banquet, King Chen rescued him and was named the prince. However, the prince ascended the throne and became the emperor within a few days... Did the emperor die later?
Are these all the plans of King Chen and his concubine?
Chu Yunfei guessed King Chen's unpredictable thoughts in her heart.
No king would tolerate his son coveting military power in peacetime, and King Chen was not a military commander and had never been on the battlefield.
What is his purpose in coveting military power?
The ambition of the wolf is obvious.
If he doesn't usurp the throne after stealing two military talismans, he will be putting himself in danger, because the emperor will not tolerate him.
So the emperor's death seven years later was also part of their plan.
Chu Yunfei came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on Chu Yunjiao's embarrassed face: "Chu Yunjiao, now that you have arrived at Prince Zhan's Mansion, your future destiny is not up to you. If you stay in Yilan Courtyard peacefully, you will not be able to do anything else." Go out to meet people again, and don’t do anything you shouldn’t do, I can promise not to hurt you again.”
"But if you persecute the King of War in this self-mutilating way next time, I will have your fingers chopped off one by one, your eyes gouged out, and your tongue cut out." Chu Yunfei He said coldly, "Rong Cang is the God of War. He is used to life and death on the battlefield, and has been injured more than once. He has strong willpower and can endure pain that ordinary people cannot endure. But you know in your heart whether you can endure the torture."
Chu Yunjiao bit his lip and said nothing.
"I have one last question." Chu Yunfei said, "Do you know why the noble concubine doesn't like Rong Cang?"
Chu Yunjiao shook his head in fear: "No, I don't know, sister, I really don't know this, please forgive me..."
Chu Yun said coldly: "Will you be obedient?"
Chu Yunjiao nodded repeatedly. She was really afraid of Chu Yunfei's methods and did not dare to try it again.
"Mother Xiong, you and Shengxia will send her back to Yilan Courtyard together." Chu Yunfei ordered, "Make some delicious food for her at noon to calm her down. Bandage her fingers well to prevent infection."
"yes."
Chu Yunfei raised her hand and waved: "Everyone, go out and close the door."
"yes."
The door was closed in front of his eyes, and the light in the side room dimmed.
Chu Yunfei got up, walked to the corner where the vase was placed, took out all the calligraphy and painting scrolls in the vase, and silently took out the jar inside.
Untying the cloth strips tied to it, Chu Yunfei opened the jar without even looking inside. Resisting the urge to feel his scalp numb, he took a dagger and cut his finger. The bright red blood dripped down his fingertips into the jar.
A rustling sound soon came from inside. Chu Yunfei quickly stopped the bleeding and closed the lid, tied the cloth strip again, and put the jar back in its place.
After doing all this, Chu Yunfei sighed tiredly.
Just half an hour passed in a thrilling way, allowing her, a woman in the boudoir who had never seen anything dangerous before, to fully see the horror of the conspiracy.
Driven by profit, how far can humanity be lost?
After letting out a gentle breath, Chu Yunfei turned around and walked out.
Back in the main room, the noise in the Nuan Pavilion had become much quieter.
Chu Yunfei opened the curtain and walked in, and saw Rong Cang's robe falling on the ground, and the white underwear on his body was soaked with blood.
He was leaning weakly on the couch, his face was pale and colorless, and his face was dripping with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
"Princess." Changqing stood aside with her head lowered.
Chu Yunfei walked over and bent down to look at Rong Cang: "Are you feeling better?"
Rong Cang slowly raised his eyes, a bit uneasy appearing in his eyes: "Did I scare you just now?"
