After watching Xiaosi walk out of the door, Pei Qicai slid down from the cell door, hugged his knees, and buried his whole face between them.
It would be better to sever ties with her.
The road she will take in the future will be more full of thorns than before. The Pei family may be safer without her, and she no longer has to worry about the Pei family.
Everything is God's will.
"Master Imperial Master, it really surprises me. Even though you are a convicted criminal and in prison, there are still people who don't know whether to live or die and dare to come to see you."
Outside the door, Rong Qin's playful voice came closer and closer, pulling Pei Qi out of his thoughts.
She raised her head in shock and saw Xiaosi being dragged by the ankles by Rong Qin's men, dragged in from the outside and thrown to the ground.
With fear in his eyes, he got up from the ground, turned his head and looked at her very apologetically: "Sister Qi, I..."
Pei Qi climbed onto the cell door and glared at Rong Qin: "Come at me if you want anything. What does it mean to bully a child?"
Rong Qin took his time, straddling Xiaosi with his slender legs and walked towards Pei Qi. He pinched her chin through the cell door and used a little force: "I think the Imperial Master seems to have misunderstood something. How can you say that I Are you trying to bully him? It's clear that he stole the key to the prison and tried to let go of the imperial court's repeat offenders. Naturally, the truth will not be tolerated."
"On the other hand, Sir Imperial Master, why don't you worry about yourself? What kind of crime should you do if a woman disguises herself as a man, plays with the power of the court, instigates the prince, and poisons the late emperor?"
Plenty of crimes were revealed in Rong Qin's mouth one by one, and the force on her jaw became more and more intense, almost crushing her.
Pei Qi endured the pain and raised his eyes to meet Rong Qin's stubborn eyes. A sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at him contemptuously: "Rong Qin, you have thought of countless ways to try to bring me down, but you don't know this Daughterhood is the deadliest thing. But the funny thing is that you and I are at odds with each other in the court and at the side of the king. We have been together day and night for five years, but you have been unable to notice it from the beginning to the end. "
"Everyone says that your talents, right minister, are outstanding, your martial arts are unfathomable, and you are praised as being miraculous. But in my opinion, it is nothing more than that."
Neither of them wanted each other to go smoothly from the moment they got involved in the court.
A mentor to the prince, who was highly valued, had the world in mind, and was an honest minister in the eyes of the world.
The other is the chief minister of the dynasty, who is decisive in killing, unpredictable and intimidating.
But this time, Pei Qi suffered a big setback.
Once the daughter's identity is exposed, she will be unable to defend herself.
However, she just didn't want Rong Qin to be proud of her. If she lost a game of chess, she had to get some advantages, right?
"Sharp teeth and a sharp mouth." Rong Qin sneered, shook Pei Qi's head away, turned around and sat on the bench prepared nearby, and waved to his men: "It seems that the interrogation just now was not vigorous enough. This time I will The Prime Minister will personally preside over the trial and see how long the Imperial Master can be stubborn."
Indeed, the way to bring down Pei Qi was very simple. Just being a daughter could ruin her reputation, but he never noticed it from the beginning to the end.
He has seen thousands of women, some are stunning in the world, some are elegant and dignified, Pei Qi alone is as good as a man.
Even if Pei Qi's position was replaced by the powerful female general of the Zhou family, he might not be able to go smoothly in the court, let alone confront him tit for tat.
After receiving the order, his subordinates bowed respectfully in front of Rong Qin, then opened Pei Qi's cell door, took her out on one side and tied her to the wooden stake again, waiting for Rong Qin to give orders.
Pei Qi didn't take it seriously and still looked in front of him indifferently.
She had already experienced all the interrogation methods, and even Rong Qin couldn't make her confess.
The Crown Prince has been captured, His Highness the Second is traveling far away, His Royal Highness the Fourth is seriously ill, and Xiaoba is too young to take on a big role. Now only His Highness the Third is able to succeed.
But the Third Highness has always been cruel and bloodthirsty. Although Rong Qin is behind him, how can he be the king of a country?
If he became emperor, wouldn't Dasheng Kingdom be littered with dead bones?
She doesn't allow it.
"Look at the bruises all over her body, it's really heartbreaking." Rong Qin walked up to Pei Qi at some point, tucked the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears, pinched her face and looked up and down: "Why didn't the truth appear before? Notice, the Imperial Master is also a beauty?"
She was pitiful even after taking off her official uniform.
Pei Qi turned away in disgust and instinctively resisted Rong Qin's touch: "It's a pity that Pei Qi can't bear Master Rong's pity."
"Hmm... are you stubborn?" Rong Qin withdrew his hand and put it behind his back. He looked around thoughtfully and paced back and forth slowly, as if he was choosing a torture instrument.
Finally, he locked his eyes on Xiao Si, who was curled up in a ball and crying, and smiled with unknown meaning.
"I know that the Imperial Master has a stubborn temper, and ordinary torture instruments are useless. Then..." Rong Qin suddenly appeared behind Xiaosi, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him in front of Pei Qi. He didn't know what was happening in his hands. There was an extra long sword, and in the next second it was placed across Xiaosi's neck: "I feel that this instrument of torture is most useful to the Imperial Master."
Little four!
"Sister Qi!"
Pei Qi panicked, struggled to move his wrist, and glared at Rong Qin angrily: "He is just an innocent child! Rong Qin, if you have any conscience, let him go. I will accompany you to play whatever you want. Don’t touch him!”
Seeing that Pei Qi finally stopped looking sarcastic and indifferent, Rong Qin moved forward with satisfaction, looked into her eyes seriously, and tasted carefully: "Very good, it's no longer the original look of displeasure, Imperial Master In a daughter’s house, it’s better to bully the weak ones.”
"Look, with the current state of the Imperial Master, I can't even bear to interrogate you." Rong Qin pretended to be pitiful and pitiful, and raised his hand to wipe the blood stains on Pei Qi's face, but his eyes suddenly turned cold. : "I just think that the Imperial Master is arrogant and arrogant, so he always has to give the Imperial Master some lessons before he can get anything useful from the Imperial Master."
Suddenly, Rong Qin's wrist holding the sword turned, and the cold light blade moved westward from his neck to his wrist in an instant.
With the sound of an object falling to the ground, the pain in his hands made Xiaosi cry out instantly.
Rong Qin, since you cut off his hand!
"ah--!"
Xiao Si rolled to the ground, holding his broken arm in one hand, staring at the blood spurting out with wide eyes, feeling helpless, panic, and fear of Rong Qin all over his body.
"Ahhhh——! Sister, it hurts me so much!"
"No, Xiaosi, don't!" Pei Qi finally lost her composure, and Rong Qin could see her panicked expression. She wished she could cut off the ropes that bound her hands and feet right now, and pounce on Rong Qin to pull out his muscles and bones.
Rong Qin didn't seem to be satisfied yet. He slowly pointed the sword at Xiaosi's other hand and looked up at Pei Qi with an undiminished smile: "It seems that this child is indeed very important to the Imperial Master."
"Rong Qin, stop! I draw, I draw, you let him go!" Tears welled up in the corners of Pei Qi's eyes, falling down her cheeks drop by drop, while her eyes were fixed on the long sword, for fear that Rong Qin would come back again. Cut off Xiaosi's other hand.
She is not someone who sheds tears easily, but Xiaosi is really important to her.
He is a relative and a benefactor.
She knew what Hua Yin meant, which meant that everything she had done before would be wasted, that the opportunity she had been waiting for after being imprisoned would be useless, and that... His Highness the Third Highness would become the new king of Dasheng Kingdom.
How should she choose?
Rong Qin had always been her evenly matched opponent, but for the first time, she felt that since she could be so humble and insignificant in front of Rong Qin, she was even powerless to stop everything he wanted to do.
Man, once a weakness is discovered, it is really fatal.
