"Speaking of this, she let out another helpless sigh and continued, “You are all my dearest sisters and relatives. To be honest with you now, the main reason I came back this time is because I admire...After instructing the dark guards to continue following Sun Gaoting, An Xuetang turned to Yun Si, "Take me to the dungeon."

"The Princess cannot, that place is dirty. If the Princess has anything to do, just tell me and I will take care of it. There is no need for the Princess to handle it personally."

"It's alright, let's go."

She would like to see who sent those people.

Because An Xue Tang insisted, Yun Si finally still took her and Ning'er to the dungeon of the prince’s mansion.

Although this place is cleaned, it's still a prison for all sorts of criminals. The interrogation methods they use are quite brutal, and because this is a dungeon, it's also very gloomy. That's why he really didn't want his princess to come here.

What's more, their consort is now pregnant with their child. He was worried that she would feel uncomfortable in this kind of environment.

However, after a moment he glanced at his queen's face, seeing that she was unaffected, and he felt a little more reassured.

Today, there were about ten people who led the trouble. Excluding those used as an example and now imprisoned, there are eight left.

Before An Xuetang arrived, people had already questioned these individuals about their backgrounds, but they all insisted on remaining tight-lipped.

No matter what means were used, they refused to speak. Some even tried to bite their tongues and commit suicide.

Looking at the bloody scene, An Xue Tang remained expressionless. She swept her gaze over the eight people, "Since none of you want to speak, then I'll just have your tongues removed."

" " Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

All present were taken aback. Didn't they demand answers precisely to get these scoundrels to reveal the mastermind behind this

But the princess wants to directly cut off these people's tongues

An Xuetang saw their puzzled expressions on paper, she suddenly chuckled softly and slowly explained:

"These people would rather bite their tongues and die than speak out about the mastermind. No matter how hard you press, it's useless. It's better to cut off their thoughts of suicide than let them have that chance for a quick death."

As An Xue Tang's trusted confidante, Ning Er immediately understood upon hearing her words. She promptly instructed someone to fetch the best hemostatic medicine.

An Xuetang made no further explanation. After the hemostatic medicine arrived, under Yun Si's arrangement, the tongues of these eight people were quickly severed.

Ning'er gave them medicine so they wouldn't have the chance to commit suicide.

These people suffered from the pain of tongue-cutting, they glared at An Xuetang fiercely one by one, their faces contorted with rage.

Such people, no matter what expression they wore, An Xuetang wouldn't take them to heart.

After they recovered, An Xuetang smirked faintly, her tongue gone. Next… it was time for their eyes.

"! "

Those few people suddenly felt uneasy. What did this woman mean What was she trying to do

An Xuetang, from the moment she arrived, has only had them do things without ever pressing them to reveal their master. This is torture in itself.

Was her intention to interrogate them, or was there something else at play They couldn't quite figure it out.

An Xuetang, seeing their obviously flustered expressions, raised her left hand and said languidly, "Today, for some reason, I have a strange liking for the left. So let's just blind their left eyes first."

"Yes."

Yun Si had no objections to An Xuetang's order and carried it out immediately.

He was in charge of the physical part, while Ning'er was responsible for the healing. In short, they just wanted to make sure these people didn't die.

Next, the ribs, left hands, and left legs of these eight people were all broken.

After she had finished everything, An Xue Tang said to Ning'er, "Give them the medicine."

"Yes."

Ning'er had long prepared a kind of drug that was worse than death in her hand. Upon hearing An Xuetang's instructions, she took out the poison, and Yun Si reached out to take it and administer it to these eight people.

The poison took effect quickly, and these eight people finally felt what it meant to be truly worse than dead.

These eight people struggled on the ground, like ants in boiling oil. Every inch of their reason and every inch of their skin seemed to be torn apart, kneaded into a lump, worse than death!

They craved a quick end, they weren't afraid of death, but ironically, the thing they feared most was this agonizing state of wanting to die but being unable to, constantly feeling that soul-crushing pain.

This poison won't kill you, but it might make you question your life. Seeing them struggle, An Xuetang finally spoke:

"This concubine knows you wish to remain loyal to your masters, but at this point, they wouldn't send anyone to save you. So, will you choose to reveal the mastermind behind all of this and gain a chance for closure Or will you choose to remain silent Of course...the consequence of silence is enduring the same pain you just suffered, day after day."

These eight men had just begun to recover, though the pain hadn't completely subsided. Every ache and twinge in their bodies served as a reminder of their ordeal. The more they thought about it, the more terrified they became, and countless horrifying thoughts twisted and turned in their minds like a venomous serpent slowly slithering across their hearts, leaving them trembling with fear and despair.

After An Xuetang asked the question, she didn't rush for a reply. She believed that anyone who had just gone through such a heart-wrenching experience would be unable to continue putting on a brave face.

As expected, the eight men quickly relented. An Xuetang had kept their right hands precisely for this purpose - to make them write it down.

Of these eight people, two were sent by Mo Yunren. His purpose was to lure An Xuetang out of Beijang Palace so that his men could take advantage of the public's emotions to create chaos. While the palace guards were dealing with the crowd, his men would have a chance to kidnap An Xuetang.

And the other six people came from different factions. Among them, Mo Yunze was as expected by An Xuetang, and so was Zhao Li, the third prince of Xuan Kingdom. There were also three people from small gangs in the Jianghu.

One person remained, always unwilling to act, but An Xuetang knew he had nothing to do with the other seven.

An Xue Tang had the seven men dragged away to be dealt with. After giving them a swift and painless end, she turned her attention to the one person who had remained motionless.

This man has a rough appearance and doesn't look like someone from the capital.

She stared at him in silence for a moment, then sighed softly. "So you really don't want to say"

The man remained silent, his one remaining eye fixed on An Xuetang. No one could tell what he was thinking.

An Xuetang sneered, this was something bearable.

"Yun Si, since he wants to experience pain, then break his right leg and administer the poison every hour."

"Yes."

Upon hearing An Xue Tang's command, his face grew increasingly pale, his brow furrowed into a knot, and his bloodshot eyes glared menacingly at her. His lips moved slightly as if he wanted to roar, but no sound came out.hat she was a fearless woman.Such people, if pushed too far, might just go all out. They'd be hard to handle then.Especially from Ming Deng's mouth, I learned that she was most likely Mo Yun Jing's im...
