    Chapter Index

    Seeing the fate of the deposed emperor, Yan Zhiyi wished she could become transparent so that the emperor in front of her could not see her. However, he smiled at her with a cold smile, which made people shiver down their spines and could not even look directly into those eyes.

    She held on to her limp body and kept kowtowing in the direction of the emperor and empress, begging for mercy.”Your Majesty, your Majesty, please listen to my explanation! Those, those things… were not instigated by me!” Her eyes dodge, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and then disappeared, then she gritted her teeth and raised her head, “It was my father! It was all what my father forced me to do!”

    She raised her hand and pointed, “And him! It was because of the coercion and inducement of the two of them that I did such a thing in a moment of confusion!” Yan Zhiyi kowtowed to the emperor several times, “Please forgive me!”

    Yan Zhaozhao’s face was suddenly covered with a cold look after hearing this, and his eyes were like the chill coming from an ice cellar, staring straight at Yan Zhiyi who was kneeling in the center of the hall.The father who had loved Yan Zhiyi since childhood probably did not expect that in such a critical time, his daughter would immediately think of how to get rid of herself, put all the blame on him, and sacrifice him to save herself.

    This is the good daughter Yan Huai loves.

    “Oh?” Xie Ciyan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, with one hand on his chin and the other resting casually on his knee. His eyes were lowered, with a careless smile on his lips, but there was an invisible coercion around him. “So, are you saying that you were completely coerced into this poisoning, and you are extremely innocent?”

    Yan Zhiyan nodded hurriedly, thinking that Xie Ciyan believed her words, and squeezed out two tears at the right time, looking extremely weak, “Everything I said is true! Please…” With wet eyes, she glanced at Yan Zhaozhao timidly, and quickly looked away, looking completely pitiful at being bullied.”Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty.”

    It’s completely naked seduction.

    Yan Zhaozhao looked stern and clenched her fists so hard that even her fingertips turned white.She thought that the attention of the man beside her should be on Yan Zhiyan, but she never thought that Xie Ciyan would grab her clenched hand and place it on his leg. He then gently spread her fist with his big palm and rubbed it carefully for her to prevent the sharp nails from leaving marks on his palm.

    She was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the man beside her who was rubbing his palms.Noticing her gaze, Xie Ciyan also raised his head and gave her a reassuring look, and then tightly clasped her hand in his broad palm.

    Yan Zhaozhao suddenly smiled. The man in front of her had been loving her with all his heart and had never wavered in the slightest. Why should she care about an insignificant Yan Zhiyi.She chuckled in relief, her expression as usual, with a sweet smile on her lips, and she held his warm palm back.

    But this scene stung Yan Zhiyi’s eyes, so painful that she almost broke her back molars, and the pitiful expression on her face could not be maintained, revealing a somewhat ferocious look.Originally, all of this was what she deserved. Now, the person who sits on the chair condescendingly, the person who is loved by the emperor forever, and the person who enjoys all the glory in the world should be her!

    And the one who really should kneel down here and beg for mercy is Yan Zhaozhao!She only regretted that she was unlucky enough to end up with such a useless and useless father who couldn’t even do such a small thing. If Xie Yan had died, she would be the most popular person in the world now, Yan Zhiyan!

    She realized that the weak expression on her face had cracks, and she quickly lowered her head and forced herself to calm down.As long as everything is cleared away, as long as there is still a way to survive, she will have another chance, and there will be a day when she can trample Yan Zhaozhao under her feet!

    Xie Ciyan’s lazy and hoarse voice came again, and if you listen carefully, it seems to have a little more tenderness.Yan Zhiyi was overjoyed, thinking that the emperor finally saw her in his eyes, but little did he know that it was because Yan Zhaozhao shook his hand that he was so happy that he smiled sincerely.

    “But Yan Huai said that the real person in charge is you, and he and the deposed emperor are just pawns at your mercy.” He sneered, “Whose words should I believe?”

    When Yan Zhiyi heard this, a look of resentment flashed through her eyes, but she never thought that her biological father would betray her at such a critical moment!Since he is already half dead in the earth, why can’t he bear all the sins for her daughter?

    She hurriedly dragged her body forward, “Your Majesty, do you believe me? My father has always been cunning and always deceived the Emperor. How can you trust him!” She was about to cry, tears falling from her eyes filled with moisture, and she looked pitiful.”Your Majesty, you believe me, sin, concubine… how could I lie to you?”

    “Really?” Xie Ciyan had a look of disdain on his face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also full of ridicule.”Then let’s test how loyal you are to me.”

    He then raised his hand and called to the eunuch standing behind him holding a plate of torture instruments.His narrow phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, and his gaze wandered over the various torture instruments placed above, and then he focused on the torture instrument made of two boards, the Kouzi.

    It was a torture instrument that was both cruel and extremely gentle.

    Put your ten fingers between two wooden boards, and then pull the rope tightly. The ten fingers will continue to be stressed. As the rope gradually becomes stronger, the slender fingers will be pinched until the flesh and blood are blurred.Compared with those punishment methods of cutting in half, the Kou Zi with only one hand left is not considered a gentle instrument of torture.

    “No, no no!” When the eunuch saw that the emperor was interested in beating the child, he picked up the instrument of torture and walked towards Yan Zhiyi step by step with a very understanding look, with a cold yet excited smile on his face, which made people shudder.She moved her body and backed away, but the eunuch held the blood-stained torture instrument and pressed towards her step by step.”No, no! Get away!”

    The eunuch raised his head to signal, and immediately two stronger eunuchs came in together. They pressed down Yan Zhiyi’s petite body with skillful movements, pinched her wrists and stuffed her lush fingers without even a trace of rough calluses into the spoon.

    “And him.” Xie Ciyan lazily raised his fingertips and pointed at the deposed emperor who was already dying after finishing playing. “Whoever tells the truth first, I will let him go first. How about that?”

    The deposed emperor in the side suddenly became more honest after being beaten dozens of times. He bit his chapped lips tightly even in pain, and did not dare to make even a sound, for fear of attracting Xie Ciyan’s attention and torturing himself like crazy.But even though he had become more honest, he still couldn’t escape the next brutal punishment.

    The deposed emperor was about to scream, but the eunuch suddenly covered his mouth, and he could only make bursts of “Uh-huh” sounds, with all the curses stuck in his throat.He could only stare at Xie Ciyan with a pair of poisoned eyes, but the latter seemed to be completely unable to see his resentment, and even showed him a smile like a spring breeze, which was really terrifying.

    “Take it outside for execution. Don’t dirty the Queen’s eyes or dirty the Queen’s ears.” His voice was cold and a little warm, and he looked at Yan Zhaozhao’s eyes suddenly, as if he could no longer see anyone else, and his eyes were full of affection, as if the world would be bright and warm as long as Yan Zhaozhao was there.

    Yan Zhiyi was petite and was already dragged outside the Xuanji Palace to be tortured by being beaten. She seemed to have been gagged, and her screams could not come out, only the faint sound could be heard. However, the horrible sound made by pinching the muscles and bones of her fingers continued to reach the ears of the deposed emperor, which was even more frightening.

    His legs suddenly softened, and his hands hurriedly broke away from the dirty hands covering his mouth. He hurriedly blurted out, for fear that someone would cover his mouth again in the next moment.”I say, I say! It’s all because of that bitch Yan Zhiyi who instigated me!” After a period of beatings, the deposed emperor no longer dared to call himself “I” and was so anxious that he blurted out everything without hiding anything.

    Xie Ciyan raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled, obviously satisfied.The deposed emperor continued speaking hurriedly, fearing that if he hesitated for a moment, he would be dragged out for execution.When he was an emperor, he often liked to punish ministers and eunuchs. He used to find it fun and amusing, but today he felt extremely horrified, as if there was an evil ghost Rakshasa standing behind him with a knife, ready to kill him at any time.

    “Back then, Yan Zhiyi, that bitch, knelt down in front of me and begged me to let me pretend to be sick to get the gallbladder in the prescription. After accumulating a small amount into a big sum, I would transport it out to poison Yan Huai through the palace’s thread eyes. She said that she would just wait until it was done, and IThen she can ascend to the throne again, as long as I grant her the throne of queen, and the Yan family will be filled with glory.” The more he said, the more he felt that what he had done was insignificant. Although the heartbroken grass came from him, the idea was not his.

    He cocked his neck and tried to regain the majesty he had when he was an emperor, but he still lacked confidence due to a guilty conscience.”If you want to kill or chop you, go for that bitch Yan Zhiyan! Xie Ciyan, you must remember that although I am not an emperor now, I am still the noble Supreme Emperor!” His eyes were full of resentment, “You treat me like this, have you ever thought about how to face all the civil and military officials of the dynasty, but you still have the late emperor in your eyes!”
