Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 469: He is the most brutal

Rong Jing took her hand and asked with a smile, "Are you jealous?"

"Yeah." Ning Zhiwei blinked mischievously. She knew him very well.

Even though he knew she was joking, Rong Jing still smiled happily, "You are the only one in my eyes and heart. There will never be anyone else. No one in this world can compare to you, no one."

He always seizes every opportunity to express his feelings, which makes Ning Zhiwei laugh. He is quite cute.

Rong Jing just wanted to be with her, grow old together, and have another child. That was the happiness he wanted, simple.

He doesn't want anyone to ruin his happiness.

"Besides, even though Duan Xinlian appears to be deeply in love, she is actually not sincere at all. A woman who can fight her way out of a dark organization and secure the position of leader must be a ruthless person."

"You are just using feelings as a weapon to alienate us."

How much sincerity can a person who doesn't even save his own parents have? He didn't believe a word that woman said.

Ning Zhiwei sighed softly, "The daughter of the Duan family, it is a tragedy after all."

Rong Jing asked softly, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with her?"

Ning Zhiwei played with the teacup and murmured for a moment, "Fishing, I want to see how many people come to rescue her."

"Pass the order down, and give Duan Xinlian three days to hand over the real list. Otherwise, she will be killed in three days. At the same time, spread this news."

Submitting a half-true and half-false list shows that he has ulterior motives and must be punished.

"Yes."

Rong Jing added, "Change her to a separate cell and nail her limbs shut. I'll see how she escapes this time. Then let the Royal Guards torture her severely."

When it comes to cruelty, he is the one.

"Yes."

In the prison, Duan Xinlian observed the surrounding environment, her mind racing. The wound hurt a lot, but she acted as if nothing had happened.

This was not the first time she had been to the Dali Temple's prison. She was able to escape safely last time, leaving behind a substitute, so she could do the same this time.

However, given her criminal record, why did Rong Jing keep her here? Wasn't he afraid that she would escape? Was there another conspiracy?

At this moment, several Jinyiwei came over and opened the door of the prison. "Duan Xinlian, we will change you to a separate cell."

Duan Xinlian's expression froze, but she soon smiled, "That's great, Lord Rong is so nice to me. I knew he was cold on the outside but kind on the inside, a good man. I didn't like the wrong person."

Her smile was sweet and shy, like a little woman immersed in love.

The Jinyiwei looked at each other and took her to the innermost cell. As soon as she entered, she saw all kinds of torture instruments. Duan Xinlian's face changed drastically, "Did you make a mistake?"

The Jinyiwei looked serious, "Yes, Lord Rong said that you have a deep mind and must be kept in solitary confinement. You are not allowed to contact anyone, and your limbs must be nailed shut."

Duan Xinlian was stunned. "How can a weak woman like me escape from the Dali Temple prison? Ah, it hurts so much."

As she screamed, not only was she searched, a pile of silver bills, gold and silver jewelry were found, but also several bottles of medicine. After smelling them, some of them were found to be poison.

Her limbs were firmly nailed with several iron chains, which passed through her palms, causing her to feel excruciating pain if she struggled even a little.

She laughed out of anger, what a bastard, he was so cruel, he didn't care about the old friendship at all.

A Jinyiwei shouted loudly, "The emperor has ordered Duan Xinlian to hand over the real list within three days. Otherwise, she will be killed in three days."

Listening to the Jinyiwei's word-for-word retelling, Duan Xinlian was furious. Damn it, Ning Zhiwei, I will never forgive you.

But she quickly adjusted her mood, raised her pitiful little face, and looked eagerly at an honest and simple-looking Jinyiwei.

"My dear brother, my palm hurts so much, it hurts so much, you are a good man, please help me, sprinkle some medicine powder on my wound..."

Unexpectedly, the Jinyiwei's face darkened, "Lord Rong said that you have learned a lot of seductive skills, be careful of being tricked, I have to stay away from you."

"Why did you pick me? I'm just naive, not stupid."

Duan Xinlian: ...

Soon, she was subjected to torture by the Jinyiwei, whose interrogation methods were not something that ordinary people could withstand.

However, Duan Xinlian held on. She cried bitterly and begged loudly, but she didn't reveal any useful information.

Ning Zhiwei sneered upon hearing the news. She's quite tough, so let's see how long she can hold on.

Three days. She only had three days.

Late at night, in the prison, a wisp of white smoke spread silently.

The prisoners all fell into a coma. Several guards yawned. Why are they so sleepy tonight?

Unable to bear it any longer, they closed their eyes and fell asleep.

After a while, several dark shadows appeared from nowhere and walked towards the innermost cell with precision.

Duan Xinlian, whose body was covered in blood, was hung on the wall, looking really pitiful.

She heard the noise and opened her dark eyes. "You are finally here."

Several dark figures rushed over and unlocked the cell door. "My lord, I am late. Please forgive me."

Duan Xinlian shouted softly, "Stop talking nonsense and untie the chains quickly."

"Yes."

Just as the black shadow was about to untie the chain and stretched out his hand, several arrows flew towards him and he quickly dodged them.

But if he dodged, the arrow would hit Duan Xinlian behind him. Duan Xinlian's martial arts would be crippled, and her limbs would be nailed shut, making her unable to move.

The black shadow gritted his teeth and rushed forward again, being hit by several arrows and gasping in pain.

The others rushed towards Duan Xinlian regardless of their own safety, trying to rescue her. Unfortunately, these long arrows seemed to have eyes and only shot in the direction of Duan Xinlian.

They fell one after another in a pool of blood.

Duan Xinlian was the only survivor in this prison. Duan Xinlian looked at her subordinates with great anxiety.

A dragnet has been set up here, just waiting for them to jump down.

No, you can't sit still.

Her eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind. She looked at the man standing opposite her. It was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Yu Qing.

"Master Yu, you are a first-class talent. Your looks and abilities are not inferior to Master Rong's. But why were you not chosen as the Emperor's husband?"

Yu Qing frowned. What nonsense was she talking about?

Duan Xinlian looked at him sympathetically, "Did you get excluded? Lord Rong is too narrow-minded. The emperor is the supreme ruler, and it is natural for him to have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. Lord Rong, as the principal wife, should be tolerant and take the initiative to accept concubines and find more people to serve the emperor."

These bizarre words shocked everyone and their eyes widened.

Duan Xinlian smiled and said, "You can write a letter to the emperor, begging him to expand the harem and take in more concubines in order to continue his descendants."

This is a common trick used by court officials in every dynasty, but why does it seem so inappropriate to use it on an empress?

Duan Xinlian was still persuading him, "Lord Yu, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. You should know that the effect of pillow talk is huge. If you don't want to go, you can also find a few suitable people to send to the palace to say a few good words for you in front of the emperor."

There's nothing wrong with what she said, but it's wrong coming from her.

"Hehe." A cold voice sounded. It was Rong Jing. He had arrived at some point in time, and his expression was terribly cold.

The whole audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone's hair stood on end.
