Chapter 65 Happy tears

Gu Feiyan was in indescribable pain, but she continued to agitate Princess Huaining, "It seems like I've hit a sore spot!"

Princess Huaining looked like she was about to go crazy. She got the attendant to help her, pulling on the rope with all her might.

Gu Feiyan was sweating profusely from the pain, unable to say a word.

She gritted her teeth and endured it in silence, waiting for Princess Huaining to break her finger! Once the phalanx was broken, there would be a wound if she were to continue. By then, Princess Huaining would have to stop.

Gu Feiyan closed her eyes, waiting for the most painful moment.

But! One of the attendants reminded Princess Huaining in time, "Princess, there will be wound if you continue further. Don't be in such a hurry!"

Princess Huaining recovered from her anger and threw away the rope in a hurry.

Not to mention breaking Gu Feiyan's finger bone, she even had the heart to kill Gu Feiyan. However, this time was different than before. She could not kill people in the justice courts, and even more so, she could not leave any evidence behind in this case! She had to force Gu Feiyan to confess her guilt to Lord Jiang and end this case before Jingwang-gege returned to the city.

In any case, the Liudan Poke Root was not a life-threatening ingredient. If Jingwang-gege were to pursue the matter, she would go and find her Imperial Father and act coquettishly to him! With her father protecting her, she didn't believe that Jingwang-gege would go against her for the sake of a little medicine girl!

Her hands couldn't be injured, but she still had feet!

She wanted to see how long Gu Feiyan would endure this kind of heart-wrenching pain!

"This princess will let you be stubborn! In a bit, don't beg me to plead guilty!"

As soon as Princess Huaining's eyes drifted to Gu Feiyan's feet, the attendants understood immediately. They rudely took off her shoes and socks, and pinched her toes. This time, they intentionally pinched hard and injured her. However, it took them a full hour to do so.

An hour!

Gu Feiyan's body began to tremble uncontrollably. Really, it was too painful!

However, she didn't even look at her feet. Instead, she continued to stare at Princess Huaining, stubbornly like an unrepentant child. Xia Xiaoman, who was detained beside her, was unable to speak and kept shaking his head. His usually harsh face was filled with pain.

Princess Huaining had never expected that Gu Feiyan would be able to handle it. She was full of frustration, but she had to let Gu Feiyan go for the time being and walked towards Xia Xiaoman.

Outside the window, the east sky was white, and it would soon be dawn. This matter could not be delayed until daybreak. If Gu Feiyan did not plead guilty, then the only one who could plead guilty was that dog slave, Xia Xiaoman!

She whispered into Xia Xiaoman's ear, "Eunuch Man, you are a smart person. Do you want to try the taste of the pincher, or accuse Gu Feiyan of being the real culprit? This princess will give you the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Think carefully!”

Xia Xiaoman was already infuriated, but when he heard this, he became even more infuriated. As soon as the ball of cloth was removed from his mouth, he immediately burst out and cursed loudly, "Princess Huaining, why do you want me to betray His Highness? You dare to act so rashly?! Once His Highness Prince Jing is back, he'll make sure to take care of you!"

Gu Feiyan had her back facing Xia Xiaoman and didn't know what was going on behind her back. After hearing Xia Xiaoman's words, she realized that Princess Huaining wanted to force a confession from Xia Xiaoman. She was extremely anxious. Xia Xiaoman was only a child after all. His body and bones had yet to fully grow. How could he endure such torture?

Gu Feiyan was in so much pain that she didn't want to talk, but she still opened her mouth, "Princess Huaining, why? Are you admitting defeat at my hands? I thought you still had some skills left, but it looks like it's just a bluff, heh heh! "

If she wasn't seeking death for such a provocation, what else could she be doing?

"Gu Feiyan, you …"

Before Xia Xiaoman could finish, Gu Feiyan interrupted. She was not only instigating her, but was also provoking her. "Princess Huaining, you have the ability to imprison me, but not the ability to interrogate me. Hehe, no wonder Qi Yu hesitated to marry you!"

This sentence directly hit Princess Huaining’s sore spot. She was so angry that she turned around and tied another pincher around Gu Feiyan's fingers. "Gu Feiyan, this princess will let you witness this princess' abilities!"

Without caring about the consequences, Princess Huaining pulled on the rope. The attendant wanted to persuade her, but she refused. She even had him pull out the other rope and pull it with all his might!

Gu Feiyan was in so much pain that she could not help but raise her head. Her mind was blank, and she finally revealed a painful expression. Xia Xiaoman struggled with all his might as he cried out loudly, his tears had long started to flow.

"Princess Huaining, let her go!"

"Princess Huaining, if you want to question me, then interrogate me. Let her go!"

… ….

Suddenly, just as Xia Xiaoman was shouting, a loud and clear voice cut in, "His Highness Prince Jing has arrived … His Highness Prince Jing has arrived!"

Xia Xiaoman stopped; his first reaction was that he had misheard.

Gu Feiyan also heard this voice, and she secretly laughed at herself for hearing such a hallucination. Was it because she knew it was impossible, yet had some expectations, that she experienced such hallucinations? Even if Xia Xiaoman's lie had come true, it still wouldn’t be that quick. The sky hadn't even lit up yet!

Of course, Princess Huaining had also heard it. Her hands were frozen, and she subconsciously turned around to look at the door. She didn't see His Highness, but at this moment, another voice sounded again, "His Highness Prince Jing has arrived …"

Three announcements, approaching from the distance, it couldn't be wrong!

Princess Huaining was stunned, and Gu Feiyan realized that she was not hallucinating. She calmed herself down and looked back at the door in a hurry, only to see a tall figure slowly approaching from the darkness. It was none other than Prince Jing, Jun Jiuchen.

He did not stop at the door, but stepped inside before he stopped. He was so tall and lofty, so handsome and cold, so superior. His cool brows were furrowed, and he seemed very unhappy. But his unhappy looks were always so beautiful.

All of a sudden, Gu Feiyan's taut nerves relaxed. She didn't want to cry from the pain she felt earlier, but at this moment, she was so happy that she wanted to cry.

Her backer had returned. She was safe!

Gu Feiyan was so happy that she couldn't speak, but Xia Xiaoman cried out with choking voice, "Your Highness, this servant has been wronged, Medicine Girl Gu has been wronged! If Your Highness comes a little later, you won't be able to see us! Your Highness … Woo woo …"

Jun Jiuchen didn't immediately pay attention to Xia Xiaoman. His ice-cold eyes swept over Gu Feiyan's bare feet, and quickly noticed the pincher on her hands.

Princess Huaining finally came back to her senses. She was so frightened that her hands and feet became flustered. She hurriedly pulled away the pincher from Gu Feiyan's hand. Gu Feiyan's ten fingers were already in excruciating pain, but the tug only made it worse. She couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

The look in Jun Jiuchen's eyes grew colder and colder. He seemed to want to walk over, but then stopped. He did not ask a single question and only coldly said, "Men, pass down my order. This case will be opened immediately. Xia Xiaoman, bring Medicine Girl Gu first!”

After he finished speaking, he took another look at Gu Feiyan, then decisively turned around and left.

Princess Huaining was frozen on the spot. The attendants let go of Xia Xiaoman, not daring to move. Xia Xiaoman rushed over to help Gu Feiyan.

Both of Gu Feiyan's hands were in pain, but Xia Xiaoman had to help her to stand up. She stood up, but didn't leave immediately. Instead, she said to Princess Huaining coldly, "Three strikes, and you are out. I won't give you another chance!"

Princess Huaining had made things difficult for her a full three times.

Really … Enough is enough!
