Princess Consort Is No Pushover

She cried and hugged the queen's calf, and shouted sadly, "Mother, don't! I beg you to spare the life of this servant. The servant really only embezzled a little money and did not betray you. Don't be fooled by Chuntao, she This is Li Wang's meticulous work!"

It's a pity that the queen doesn't believe a word of Qingying now.

She sternly said: "Stop talking nonsense, come and drag her out. I want everyone to know that this is the fate of betraying me!"

The queen's words were like thunder, and even Chuntao was startled.

Fortunately, the lord taught her to use corruption to deal with Qingying, otherwise she would be the one who died today!

Soon, Qingying was dragged out.

She was crying all the time, but unfortunately no one listened to her defense, no one believed her, everyone thought she betrayed the queen.

At this time, the queen rubbed the center of her brows wearily, and said: "This matter has come to an end, Chuntao, you should step back first!"

"Yes, empress." Chuntao took a look at the queen before walking out.

-

Soon, the guards came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Qing Ying and Xiao Haizi have been executed!"

"So fast?" The Empress was startled, "Did they complain about Bengong before they were alive?"

The guard said: "No, they have been crying for injustice. They said they were wronged, that they did not betray the empress, and that the empress blamed them by mistake!"

"What? They were still crying for grievances before they died?" The queen's body trembled suddenly.

"Yes. They not only complained, but also scolded Chuntao all the time, saying that Chuntao framed them." The guard said.

The Queen's heart was pulled hard.

Why are the two still screaming for injustice before they die? She has been accusing Chuntao all the time. Could it be that Chuntao really framed them?

Could it be that she wrongly blamed Qingying and Xiao Haizi?

Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes fiercely, and looked at the guard, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

"Yes, ma'am." The guard replied.

-

After Chuntao returned to the room, she quickly took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a letter.

She wants to tell the prince about the queen's handling of Xiao Haizi and Qingying.

After writing the letter, she rolled the letter paper into a small roll, then raised her hand and blew gently, calling for a carrier pigeon.

When the carrier pigeon flew to the window, she quickly put the note into the carrier pigeon's foot ring.

At this time, only a "bang" was heard, and the door of Chuntao's room was kicked open fiercely.

Immediately afterwards, the queen walked in aggressively with several guards.

"Come on, let me catch her!" the queen said angrily.

Seeing this, Chuntao quickly let go of the pigeon in her hand, and the pigeon quickly flew out of the window.

Seeing the carrier pigeon fly away, the queen hurriedly said, "Archer, let the arrow go! Shoot that pigeon down for me!"

The archers outside listened to the order and quickly released their arrows.

Immediately, countless arrows rained towards the carrier pigeons in the air.

The carrier pigeon had a premonition of danger, and it flew out as if fleeing for its life, flying fast and anxiously, and soon flew out of the palace and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing the carrier pigeons fly away under her nose, the queen gritted her teeth and said, "A group of idiots who can't even shoot a pigeon, what use do I need you for?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am." The archers hurriedly lowered their heads.

The queen said angrily: "What are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and chase it? You must catch this carrier pigeon!"

"Yes." After the archers finished speaking, they hurried to chase the pigeons.

At this moment, Chuntao had been controlled by the guards, she stared tremblingly at the queen, with a bad premonition in her heart.

The queen walked up to Chuntao step by step, gritted her teeth and looked at her, "Baby maid, Qingying is right, you are indeed sending messages to others. In this way, it is you, not Qingying, who really betrayed me. !"

Chuntao quickly shook her head, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood! This servant did not send a letter to anyone, just a moment ago a pigeon flew to this window, and this servant thought it was very cute, so I hugged it and teased it!"

The queen sneered and said: "Make it up, if you continue making it up, do you think I will believe your nonsense? Tell me! Who were you communicating with just now?"

Chuntao shook her head resolutely, "Your servant has not communicated with anyone, please learn from me."

"Baby maid, you dare to argue when you're about to die!" The queen said, she stepped forward angrily, and slapped Chuntao on the face.

Chuntao let out a soft cry, and five thumbprints immediately appeared on her face.

The queen stared at her sullenly, "The carrier pigeon flew out of the palace. Qingying said that she suspected that you had colluded with King Li. This must be a letter between you and King Li."

"No, I don't know King Li at all." Chuntao gritted her teeth and shook her head.

She can't admit it, once she admits it, the prince will be in danger!

"I saw you with my own eyes and still not recruit? You are really loyal to Chu Xuanchen, come here! Put torture on me!"

"Yes." After the eunuchs finished speaking, they immediately brought in the sticks.

Seeing the bamboo clip, Chuntao turned pale with fright and trembled all over.

But even if she died, she would not betray the prince.

So she stuck her neck, looking heroic and righteous.

Seeing the bamboo clip being brought up, the queen bent down and said coldly: "Chuntao, I will ask you again, did you write this letter to King Li? Did you betray Bengong with King Li?"

Chuntao gritted her teeth and said, "The servant did not write a letter, let alone betrayed the empress."

"Okay! How dare you speak hard! Someone, I will pinch off her fingers!" the queen said angrily.

As soon as the queen gave an order, eunuchs immediately came forward to control Chuntao, and someone put her fingers into the gap between the sticks.

Then, the two pulled the hemp ropes on both sides so hard that Chuntao screamed in pain.

The queen said: "Chuntao, have you done it or not? You know better than this palace. I know that you belong to Chu Xuanchen. If you are willing to testify against Chu Xuanchen and Concubine Xue in front of the emperor, that they colluded to frame Bengong Gong, I will spare your life, how about it?"

As long as Chuntao is willing to testify against Chu Xuanchen and Concubine Xue, she will be able to regain the Phoenix Seal and defeat this pair of dogs.

There was a firm fire in Chuntao's eyes, "The servant doesn't know anything, what does the empress want the servant to testify against?"

"Okay, if you still dare to speak hard, then don't blame me for being ruthless, little six, use your strength!" the queen ordered to the little six next to him.

Little Six immediately gritted his teeth, and pulled the hemp rope fiercely with another eunuch.

The bamboo clip clamped hard, and Chuntao's fingers were instantly covered with wounds and blood, causing her to let out a heart-piercing scream.

She really wanted to bite her tongue and kill herself to end this pain, but she didn't have the strength.

"Chuntao, fingers connected to heart, you are in pain right now? If you want to end this pain, then you have to confess it honestly!" The queen said again.

Chuntao's ten fingers were in burning pain, as if they had been slashed by countless sharp knives and run over by wheels.

She raised her head weakly, looked at the queen stubbornly, and shook her head firmly: "I, no, move!"

She will never betray the prince.

The queen gritted her teeth angrily, pointed at Chuntao angrily, and paced back and forth, "Okay, you bastard, what did Chu Xuanchen use to confuse you? You would rather suffer than defend him?"
