The palace maid tightly held onto the torture device. The pain of her four limbs being gripped by the torture device had penetrated her heart. After torturing her until now, she no longer had the strength to cry out, only moaning and groaning.

From the beginning of the torture until now, Bai Ruochen had never revealed Mu Qingye's whereabouts, and Mu Qingchen could not help but feel a little anxious.

Standing at the side, Su Wan'er glared at Bai Ruo Lan and said, "Your majesty, I have a method to make the Empress speak the truth!"

"What method?"

"Adding salt and chili concoction into the water, a pampered person like the empress definitely won't be able to withstand it!"

Bai Ruo Lan's entire body was covered in wounds. She was rubbing salt and pepper all over the wounds. Wasn't this meant to make her die from pain?

"Su Wan'er, you'll die a horrible death!" Bai Ruo Lan's eyes widened.

She cast her gaze towards Mu Qingchen, and swore in front of her. She did not believe that Mu Qing Chen would agree to such a perverted request from Su Wan'Er to torture her.

It was a pity that Bai Ruochen was wrong. Mu Qingchen didn't have the slightest hesitation as he coldly spat out two words that pierced the bone, "It's done!"

Very quickly, two buckets of water with salt water and chili powder were brought in. The water was all over her wounds, and the pain from the splashing of the water on her upper body was so excruciating that it pierced her heart like ants. Bai Ruolan originally didn't have the strength to moan from the pain, but because of the inhumane torture, she started to let out a shrill scream.

Mu Qingchen's expression did not change, but his voice was light, "Tell me where Mu Qingye is, and I'll let you go!"

"I... I don't know! Your majesty! I really don't know! "

"Splash again!" The cold voice of the palace maid continued to splash water on Bai Ruo Lan's body, her screams reverberating in the great hall.

In the end, he could not hold on and fainted!

After being unconscious for an unknown amount of time, Bai Ruo Lan slowly woke up, her entire body covered in injuries. She had only moved slightly, but the pain made her break out in a cold sweat.

He looked around with his lifeless eyes, and then a candle flame came in from outside the window and he found himself in an abandoned palace.

Her skin was torn and her flesh was torn, making her look even heavier. She was cold, hungry and in pain. She was truly begging for death.

From the distance, a sharp voice of a sage could be heard. "It's always been a pity that men always have the will of a beautiful woman …"

Tears rolled down Bai Ruo Lan's face. There was the sound of footsteps coming from far away, and the lights were gradually becoming brighter. A few court people were holding lanterns as they led Su Wan'er into the room.

Compared to Bai Ruo Lan's dying body covered in blood, Su Wan'er was as beautiful as a fairy that descended from the heavens.

She stood beside Bai Ruo Lan, her lips curving up slightly, and said with a cold and vicious voice: "Isn't this the number one beauty in the entire Great Yao Country? Tsk tsk tsk tsk! "See how you became like this?"

When enemies meet, their eyes would turn red. Bai Ruo Lan glared at Su Wan'er: "Su Wan'Er, you're so malicious. There will be a time for retribution."

"Hahaha!" What a good retribution! Bai Ruo Lan, aren't you so dedicated to doing good that you aren't even willing to trample an ant to death? Logically speaking, a person like you should be blessed by the heavens to be safe and happy, right? But look at your current situation. You've already fallen to this level.

"It's all because of a wicked woman like you. If you hadn't bewitched His Majesty, how could I have done anything else?"

"Bewitching? The Emperor was a wise man who could be bewitched by others? Bai Ruo Lan, don't tell me you haven't thought about it at all? "

"Reflection? "I've never done anything wrong. What's the point of reflecting?"

"You didn't sit wrong? Bai Ruo Lan, the Emperor is the Heavens. Even if you're not wrong, he's wrong when he says you're wrong! "

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean you don't know? "You don't think the Emperor really likes you to the point where he can't extricate himself, do you?" Su Wan'Er bent down with a cold look on her face, "If you weren't the Left Premier Qian Jin, if your father wasn't useful for the emperor's ascension, if you weren't able to confuse Mu Qingye, the emperor wouldn't even look at you!"

"You're lying!" Bai Ruolan didn't believe that Mu Qingchen could only use her. She didn't believe that Mu Qingchen wouldn't love her because of his gentleness and his pampering. She didn't believe that Mu Qingchen wouldn't love her.

"I'm spouting nonsense? Didn't the Emperor allow you to have a couple for your entire life? Since that's the case, why did you marry me before your big wedding? "

"That's because …"

"Because of what? Did the Emperor tell you to marry me only on the orders of the Empress Dowager? " Su Wan'er interrupted Bai Ruo Lan's words, "Bai Ruo Lan, oh Bai Ruo Lan, I thought you were stupid? "The emperor was lying to you. He said the same thing like me, that he was only forced to marry you. To tell you the truth, the emperor and I were together four months ago!"

"What?" "That's impossible!" Bai Ruo Lan could not imagine Mu Qing Chen secretly spending time with Su Wan'Er while they talked to each other.

"Impossible?" Su Wan'Er gently caressed her stomach, "Let me tell you one more thing, I'm already 3 months pregnant. "The imperial physician said the pulse was a boy. If so …"
