"Chen Fei, you are Chen Fei, right? I've never had a conflict with you, so why are you treating me like this? No one can control who the king likes! " Cen Xue's eyes were still clouded, but her heart was clear.

Shangguan Ning'er looked at her, stunned. She had not expected her to guess who she was, but thinking about it, this woman should have been able to recognize her voice. It didn't matter even if she knew.

Taking a step forward and taking off the cloth covering her eyes, the two of them faced each other.

"If not for your appearance, the king would not have chased me out of the palace, and I would not have been laughed at by my relatives and friends. This was all because of you. My dream for many years was ruined!" As Shangguan Ning'er spoke, she waved the whip in her hand again, viciously smashing it down towards Cen Xue.

"Ah, it hurts, you're crazy …" Cen Xue shouted as she struggled to avoid her whip.

"That's right, you're right. I'm crazy. I was driven mad by your appearance!" As Shangguan Ning'er said that, she shot a look to the two large men beside her. The large man immediately grabbed Cen Xue by the hair, while the other held her by the shoulders, preventing her from moving at all.

"Whatever you want to do to me, the king will not let you go!" Cen Xue was so scared by their actions that her face turned pale. The wounds all over her body started seeping with blood and mixed with salt water, aggravating the pain on her body.

"What for? You'll know soon enough. It seems to me that you're using this face to confuse the king, right? "Little slut, today I'll ruin your appearance and see if the king will still pamper you. If you become ugly, will the king want to vomit after seeing you?" As he said that, Shangguan Ning'er burst out laughing, a sharp dagger appearing in her hand.

"You're crazy! Madman, if you dare touch me, the king won't spare you!" Cen Xue started panicking. She could not imagine what Shangguan Ning'er was going to do to her.

His body continuously tried to retreat, but he was held back by two large men. The one who had grabbed her by the hair pulled her face up, facing Shangguan Ning'er who had been holding the short sabre.

Heh heh heh …" "What a beautiful face, I truly pity her. If she were to become a yaksha from now on, it would truly be a pity." Shangguan Ning'er continued laughing maniacally; she did not take Cen Xue's words seriously at all. The sharp knife cut Cen Xue's face, and blood flowed out like a stream …

"Ah …" "It hurts, let go of me, don't …" The heart-wrenching wails only made Shangguan Ning'er feel even more proud. She indulged herself even more freely on Cen Xue's face, blood flowing like a poppy, and Cen Xue had already fainted from the pain.

Helian Lie personally led people to the killer's yard. He moved the triangular vase in the yard and a narrow path was instantly revealed on the flower bed in front of him. A group of people also quickly searched inside.

"Damn it, what are you guys doing?" Helian Shan rushed into the hall, but when he entered the deep tunnel, what he saw was actually a soul-stirring blood-red. With a loud shout, he waved his palm, and the two big men controlling Cen Xue immediately fell into a pool of blood.

"Ah, my King, my King …" Shangguan Ning'er had never dreamed that the King would appear here. Seeing his angry look, her hands softened, and the short sword fell to the ground, causing blood to splash. She knew she was finished, and that there was no hope of survival.

"Xue'er …" Trembling, he propped up her body, which was covered in wounds. At this moment, he felt an incomparable panic. If she died, if she no longer existed in this world, how would he be able to continue living?

This heartache, this anger, and this fear instantly surged into his heart, causing him to feel a gush of blood at his throat. A mouthful of blood gushed out from his throat.

A mouthful of blood spilled out from Helian Lie's mouth. Looking at Shangguan Ning'er who had been captured by the Azure Dragon, he said savagely: "If anything happens to her, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death. I'll let your entire family, including all nine families, die with her!"

His harsh words caused Shangguan Ning'er's body to tremble. After Helian Lie had handed over this matter to the Azure Dragon Founder, he hurriedly carried Cen Xue back to the palace, heading straight for the Eternal Music Palace's Kessel.

"Your Majesty, what happened to you?" Within the palace, Keser was currently reading a book when the door was suddenly kicked open. Helian Lie walked in while carrying a woman in his arms like an Asura. He asked in surprise.

"Save Cen Xue at all costs!" He placed her on the bed and scolded him with bloodshot eyes.

Heather looked at the woman in his arms and could not recognize her at all. It could be seen that something big had happened.

"You only need to heal the wounds on your body. However, the wounds on your face are quite troublesome. Although they are not life-threatening, the wounds are too deep. I think your peerless face is ruined."

He sighed and said, "Those deep wounds that can be seen through bones, even if healed, they would leave behind ugly scars. For a woman, especially a beautiful woman, this is a fate worse than death!"

"I don't care about that. As long as I save her, I don't care about the others!" He was relieved to hear that her life was safe.

"However, for a peerless beauty, turning into a Yaksha Wry Face, I'm afraid living would be even worse than death!" This was also human nature, Keser said as he busied himself with cleaning Cen Xue's wounds.

"Cut the crap. What I want is her heart. Whether it's beautiful or ugly, This King wants her. Hurry up!" This was the first time he had spoken to Heather in such a manner.

At this moment, he did not care about her beauty. What he cared about was her, his life.

The eunuchs and palace maids busied themselves in and out of the room. Cen Xue's entire body was covered in wounds, and a basin of blood was being sent out from the room. Helian Shan looked at the blood outside and felt so angry that he wanted to kill someone!

"Vermillion Bird, you stay here. Once the Empress has any news, send someone to the Sky Prison to report to Gu Gu. You have to see how hard those guys' bones are!" After handing Cen Xue over to the Vermillion Bird that had rushed over, he walked towards the Sky Prison himself.

He turned his head to Zhao Changde, who was beside him, and instructed, "Prepare an imperial edict and throw the entire family of the vice minister of the military into prison. You don't have to explain the reason in detail, do you?"

"This old servant understands, I will immediately do it!" Zhao Chengde was the scariest person in his heart, and he knew what he was thinking.

"Mm, let Yuwen Tuo go with you." Helian Shan gave his last instruction and then no longer paid any attention to him.

The Azure Dragon had already captured Shangguan Ning'er and the two tough men, and had them locked in the Heavenly Prison. The two tough men were so scared that their bodies were trembling, and they thought they would be safe with her, but unexpectedly …

The Heavenly Prison was cold, cold, damp, and had a musty smell. It was simply not a place for a person to stay. Shangguan Ning'er wrapped her arms around herself, imagining what would happen to her, and she swallowed nervously.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty …" Just as she was trembling in fear, that terrifying voice rang out in response.

It's over, the king has come up, she has no way out. With the king's temper, he would not immediately take her life, but would slowly torture her until she died.

Helian Shan's figure slowly approached the prison cell where she was being held. Shangguan Ning'er was huddled up in the corner, feeling that powerful force closing in on her.

She was afraid, she was frightened, but it was all too late …

Helian Lie walked up to her, looked down at her coldly, and waved his hand behind him. Immediately, a guard came in to drag Shangguan Ning'er out of the corner. She did not dare beg for mercy, only lowering her head, not daring to meet his eyes.

Shangguan Ning'er was about to be punished, how could the other two big men escape? They were bound together by the iron chains, waiting for Helian Lie's order to cut them open and tear them apart.

The guards also soaked the whip in salt water. Not only that, they also sprinkled the salt onto the whip, causing it to come into direct contact with the wound. This would make the person being tortured even more painful.

"Your Majesty, please spare our lives …" "We brothers are innocent. It was that woman who paid us to do so. Please spare us, Your Majesty …" A pig-slaughtering wail rang out, causing the accumulated rage at the bottom of Helian Shan's heart to burn fiercely.

"You, and you, beat me up for me!" Beat them until they shut up! " Helian Lie pointed at the two guards who were standing a few steps away and ordered sternly.

"As you wish …" The two guards received the order and also picked up two whips, viciously smashing them onto the two big men's bodies.

"Ah …" Ah … Please spare my life! " Even though he was growing stronger, his body was still that of a human. With just a few lashes, blood was starting to flow out from his entire body.

Helian Shan looked at them in satisfaction. Next, it should be her turn!

His strength was even greater than those guards, and Shangguan Ning'er was so scared that her face turned blue as she watched the king walk towards her. She wanted to beg for mercy, but she didn't know how to speak, as if she had been poisoned and was unable to speak.

"Bitch, it's all because of you!" After saying this, Helian Zhang unceremoniously swung the whip on her body.

Ah …" "Ahh!" Shangguan Ning'er cried out miserably, and the sounds of whips and whips resounded in the Heavenly Prison.

Helian Lie looked at her vicious face and thought about Cen Xue's current appearance. He was so angry that he whipped her face, leaving streaks of blood on her face.

A single whip strike had caused her skin to be torn apart, and she was crying out repeatedly. After an hour, Shangguan Ning'er was no longer able to shout; her mouth was full of blood, and her face and body were covered with bloody wounds.

The two bodyguards didn't dare to loosen their grip as they viciously swung their whips at them. They had long since fainted, but each time, they were doused in a bucket of cold water.

"Your Majesty, there's a message from Doctor Keser that Empress Snow has awoken." At this moment, it was unknown when a eunuch came in, but he hurriedly came to report.

He turned around, dropped the whip, and ordered the guards behind him: "You will whip these people a hundred times a day, but you must remember, do not let them die, you must make them beg for death!"

"Understood …"

He then gave a final glare at the slut and her accomplices. The pain and suffering they had placed on Cen Xue was something he would definitely repay tenfold more.

… … Within the Yongle Palace, Cen Xue was sent directly to Doctor Keser's side to heal her wounds. When she woke up, she could only remember Shangguan Ning'er's crafty smile and resentful gaze, as well as the dagger in her hand.
