Ye Fuxun sat on the chair and looked at Li Ruoxue expressionlessly. Seeing that she was kicked in the knee by the servant, she had to kneel down and showed no mercy.
"Li Ruoxue, I will ask you again, who is the person who instigated you behind the scenes? Do you want to tell me?"
Li Ruoxue snorted and turned her head to the side.
Seeing this, Ye Fuxun ordered: "Someone, tie her to a wooden frame and whip her for thirty years."
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the servants bound Li Ruoxue, took a whip, and whipped it down mercilessly. Li Ruoxue was also stubborn and held on without making a sound.
But after all, he is a body of flesh and blood, and he couldn't help but start screaming in pain later on.
Ye Fuxun was drinking tea leisurely while admiring the bloody Li Ruoxue. It wasn't until the beating was over that she asked again: "How was it? Have you changed your mind?"
Li Ruoxue took a sip and said angrily: "Don't even think about it. Even if you beat me to death, I won't say anything!"
Ye Fuxun saw that Li Ruoxue was so tough, so he slammed the tea cup on the coffee table and said angrily: "Then keep beating! Beat her until she is willing to talk!"
"Wait!" Just when the official was about to take action, she suddenly changed her mind. Her eyes fell on Li Ruoxue's long and slender fingers, which were as green as green onions. She smiled sinisterly and said: "Change the torture instrument and put on the clamp rod!"
As the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, but she didn't believe that Li Ruoxue, a delicate young lady with a lot of money, could bear this kind of pain.
Li Ruoxue couldn't help but tremble in her heart as she saw her hands being clamped with clamps.
"ah……"
Li Ruoxue's screams came from the interrogation place and resounded throughout the entire prison. She thought that she was not even afraid of death and that there was no pain that she could not bear. Only when she tasted this heartbreaking pain did she know what life was.
Better to die.
"Yu Siling, if you can, kill me! Ah... you poisonous woman, you will be punished!"
Li Ruoxue screamed in pain while not forgetting to curse.
Ye Fuxun turned a deaf ear and drank tea at the side with a leisurely attitude. After nearly a stick of incense, Li Ruoxue finally couldn't bear it and fainted.
"Princess, she fainted."
Ye Fuxun didn't even blink an eyelid, and said coldly: "Pour water on me to wake him up!"
With a splash, ice-cold water splashed on Li Ruoxue's face, causing her to open her eyes with a start, and her consciousness gradually returned to clarity.
Ye Fuxun walked over slowly and said in a regretful tone: "Tsk, tsk, look at you, you look like this, I can't help but pity you. Your hands were really good at playing the piano, right? Now it's ruined."
Now, do you think it’s a pity or not?”
Li Ruoxue moved her lips and said with difficulty: "You vicious woman, even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go..."
"Huh? Are you a ghost?" Ye Fuxun raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly, "Don't think about it! Before you reveal the person behind the scenes, I will not let you die. I will only make your life worse than death!
"
She leaned over and picked up the wooden spoon, scooped out a spoonful of water from the wooden bucket next to her, and said, "Do you know what is mixed with this water?"
Li Ruoxue's heart trembled, and her eyes were full of fear. She only heard Ye Fuxun spit out one word: "Salt."
"You, what are you going to do?"
Ye Fuxun laughed sinisterly and poured the salt water from the spoon onto Li Ruoxue's arm that was badly beaten by the whip. Li Ruoxue immediately felt like there were millions of knives cutting his flesh, as if every knife was cutting into the bones. It was so painful.
It's really unbearable.
I really don’t know what this woman’s heart looks like, that she can come up with so many torturing tricks.
Ye Fuxun asked: "If all this bucket of salt water is poured on you, then every inch of your muscles will be bitten, and the pain will be ten times more than before. Do you want to have a taste?"
Li Ruoxue shook her head subconsciously. She was really desperate at this moment. She couldn't die, and she couldn't talk about it. What should she do? After a moment, she smiled ferociously: "Why don't I make a deal with you?"
Ye Fuxun was curious and asked: "What deal?"
"I reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, and you want me to marry King Chen as his concubine? Huh? How about that?" She was deliberately irritating Ye Fuxun in order to find a way out for herself.
Ye Fuxun immediately became furious and slapped Li Ruoxue in the face. "I still worry about things that don't belong to you. I don't know whether to live or die!"
Li Ruoxue grinned, and just when she thought she had succeeded, she heard Ye Fuxun laughing.
"Do you think I will let you die like this? I tell you, I will not let you go until the mastermind behind it is revealed."
At this point, Li Ruoxue still refused to confess. It seemed that she was so coerced by the person behind her that she did not dare to confess that person. Ye Fuxun looked at her and felt really upset, so he poured a handful of salt water on her.
Give it to her to vent her anger, and then walk away.
Since Li Ruoxue couldn't get the answer here, she had no choice but to find another way.
Seeing that Xiao Yunchen and Yu Yunxuan's wedding was getting closer, Ye Fuxun thought to himself that he must find out the mastermind as soon as possible, otherwise he was afraid that there would be problems with the wedding.
"What are you thinking about? Your brows are all furrowed together." Bai Yuxian came over and interrupted Ye Fuxun's thoughts.
"After so many days, even if tortured to extract a confession, Li Ruoxue still refuses to tell the person behind the scenes. I'm worried that if this person is not found out, something will happen on Yunchen's wedding day."
Bai Yuxian took a sip of tea and asked, "Who do you think that person might be?"
Ye Fuxun shook his head: "It's hard to guess. That person designed to frame me and wanted to kill me, but why? Is it a personal enmity or other reasons?"
"You have only been in Dongchen for a short time as Yu Siling. Apart from the Queen Mother and Xiao Lanxin, you have not made any other enemies." Bai Yuxian frowned and analyzed.
Ye Fuxun sighed silently and thought to himself: From the day I married you, I have offended all the unmarried ladies in the city, and why do I say that there is no one else?
"Besides, if it is a personal vendetta, I can directly seek revenge from you. There is no need to go to all the trouble of killing Xu Ziyan and dragging Li Ruoxue into the water to deal with you."
Ye Fuxun nodded, feeling that what Bai Yuxian said was right. "Since it's not a personal feud, then it's a business matter?"
"I think it's most likely related to the peace talks," Bai Yuxian said quietly, staring at the tea leaves floating on the water.
"You are the princess of the Western Kingdom, and you are about to return to the Western Kingdom to visit the Emperor of the Western Kingdom. If you die at this time, the Emperor of the Western Kingdom will definitely pursue your case, and the two countries will conflict again, and the alliance will be invalidated."
"You mean that person's purpose is to provoke a war between Dongchen and Xiguo?" Ye Fuxun's eyebrows suddenly jumped, "Could it be Yu Xiunan?"
Bai Yuxian shook his head: "No, I don't think it's Yu Xiunan. He is the envoy of the Western Kingdom. He came all the way to Dongchen just for peace talks and to bring Yu Siling back to the Western Kingdom.
