Chapter IBMLS Ch.82 Support (4)
Mu Mingtang was caught off guard. She raised her head and looked at Xie Xuanchen in surprise, only to make sure that he was really talking to her. The corner of Mu Mingtang’s eyes swept over the people on the ground and found that she now had someone to back her up, she got confident and said: “Mama Sun said, the short ones are poked into your fingertips, and the medium ones are poked into your waist and legs. The longest needles are pierced horizontally into you after you remove your clothes.”
Even if they didn’t see it happen, everyone seemed to be able to feel pain. Xie Xuanchen nodded and asked Mu Mingtang, “Which needle do you prefer?”
“The one in your hand is just right.”
“Okay.” Xie Xuanchen nodded, and handed the needle to Yu Changsi in front of him, “Just as the princess said, come and show it to me. You don’t have to look far. Your leader’s surname is Sun right, let’s go with her then.”
Yu Changshi shuddered and almost fainted. She leaned over suddenly and kowtowed to the ground: “Prince Qiyang, forgive us, we’ll never do this again! My lord, please be merciful!”
Xie Xuanchen smiled extremely coldly. The corners of his eyes hooked :”Now you’re only afraid? Why didn’t you feel afraid when you were getting your hands on my people?”
With a flick of his fingertips, Xie Xuanchen directly nailed the fine needle into the gap between Chang Shi’s fingers: “Do you want to do it, or should I do it?”
The Sun official couldn’t listen to them anymore. She raised her head and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: “Prince Qiyang, I’ve been ordered by the Empress Dowager to come to the Qiyang Manor to help. If you want to punish me, I won’t complain, but if the Emperor and the Empress Dowager asks about this, it’ll be very hard for you to explain yourself.”
“Empress Dowager?” Xie Xuanchen said and smiled, he didn’t even try to hide his disdain, “Has she been acting too arrogantly these days, that she’s really forgotten about her identity? She has never once been mad in front of me, her servants, however, are all acting all high and mighty in front of me?”
Mu Mingtang didn’t understand what he meant. It sounded like the Empress Dowager seemed to have some grudge with Xie Xuanchen? She looked around quietly, and found that everyone was looking down in silence, even the Sun official didn’t dare to argue with him, Mu Mingtang was very interested but she didn’t speak.
The only sound came from the sobbing Yu Chang Shi, she couldn’t help it. Xie Xuanchen directly nailed the needle in between her fingers. Yu Changshi was so frightened that she didn’t dare to move her hand. Seeing that no one was talking, Yu Changshi was completely devastated and pulled out the needle as she trembled.
It wasn’t clear if she was too scared or the needle was plunged too deep. Yu Changshi tried to pull out the thin needle several times and at last succeeded. She walked on her knees to the Sun official’s side, whispered her apologies, then pierced the needle into the Sun official with her trembling hands.
Yu Changshi had tried her best to not use as much strength, to just show that she was doing it, but the moment the needle entered her flesh, the Sun official called out in pain. Mu Mingtang was delighted at that scene. Just now, when Yu Changshi was holding the needle pouch, she looked so arrogant. Now that she has used her skills on her boss, it is making the best use of all the resources. Hopefully Yu Changshi could still be that happy when she returns to the palace.
As Xie Xuanchen didn’t speak, Yu Changshi didn’t dare to stop. In the end, the Sun official’s expression worsened, and Yu Changshi didn’t dare to go on anymore, she hurriedly kowtowed for a few times, and stabbed the needle into himself: “It’s my fault, may the prince be merciful, may the prince be merciful!”
Yu Changshi stabbed herself with all her might, just so she’ll be able to explain herself when she’s back at the palace. Mu Mingtang could feel the pain even just from looking at her, Yu Changshi pricked herself for more than 30 times, tiny blood beads even started to seep from her clothes. Xie Xuanchen was satisfied: “Not too bad, I like this set. Leave it here.”
Yu Changshi was so relieved that she couldn’t even kneel properly, and she desperately kowtowed to Xie Xuanchen. The people around breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was finally over, even Mu Mingtang thought so. Unexpectedly, Xie Xuanchen’s tone changed, and then suddenly asked: “What is that bowl of soup medicine for?”
The air became stagnant, and the Sun official’s face turned pale this time. Mu Mingtang glanced around and said, “The female officials said that this medicine can help restore the body. If you’re afraid of going through the pain when giving birth, just drink a bowl of this medicine, and you’ll never get pregnant, naturally you won’t feel any pain.”
When Mu Mingtang first said that it was used to restore the body, Xie Xuanchen really thought of the medicine in that direction. He didn’t expect that the more he listened, his expression turned colder and colder, and the murderous look in his eyes appeared.
Xie Xuanchen didn’t even sneer this time: “Who ordered this?”
The Sun official’s expression turned astonishingly ugly. Seeing that no one admitted to it, Xie Xuanchen snorted and said, “How dare you bring this kind of a thing to the Qiyang Manor. If you’re not going to tell me, I’ll ask Xie Rui. .”
Several of the female officials spoke at the same time, and finally the Sun official took the lead and said, “It was me.”
Xie Xuanchen coldly pointed to the cold concoction and said, “Drink it.”
