Although he said he was acting on the orders of the Queen Mother, if he really wanted to kill Xiaosi with a stick, the Emperor would know when he came back that the Queen Mother was his biological mother and he would not do anything to her, but he and the others would There is no escape.
If the emperor becomes angry, it would be too easy to move the heads around his neck, for fear that his family will be killed.
Several guards raised their torture sticks but did not dare to strike down.
Seeing this, Queen Mother Zhou became even more angry and slapped the table hard.
"You dog slave, you have such a treacherous mouth. The good emperor just let you, this slave, spoil you. Without you, the emperor would not be what he is today! Give the Aijia a hard beating and beat this dog slave to death. If the emperor When he comes back, just wait for his corpse to be collected. This useless slave can't do anything if he stays in this world. It will only hinder the emperor! Someone, please shut up his mouth for Aijia first, so as to save him. Keep talking nonsense! Why don’t you even listen to what the Ai family says?”
Xiao Si secretly complained, knowing that the Queen Mother Zhou was just venting her anger. She was really unjustly beaten. She only hoped that when the emperor came back, she could still breathe and see the emperor for the last time.
When the guards saw that Empress Dowager Zhou had issued a death order, they had no choice but to find a rag and stuff it into Xiao Si's mouth. Then they raised the cane high and hit Xiao Si on the buttocks with a cracking sound.
"One five, ten..." Several people counted while playing.
Empress Dowager Zhou shouted angrily again: "We will count until we are beaten to death!"
Su Jin wanted to persuade but didn't dare to. She secretly winked at several guards and asked them to be merciful and not really beat Xiaosi to death.
She knew that Xiaosi's life and death were all in the hands of these guards. The old people in the palace knew that when the cane was struck, there would be loud thunder and light rain. It looked like the crackling sound, but in fact the prisoner just knew how to do it. A slight injury to the flesh will not damage the muscles or bones.
The most terrifying thing is the sap, which is silent when beaten, but the stick penetrates the flesh, and a few blows can break a person's muscles and bones, and cause him to vomit blood and die.
In fact, even if she didn't wink, the guards had this idea in mind, so although they slapped Xiao Si with a dozen sticks, fast and urgent, causing flowers to bloom on Xiaosi's butt, they were not seriously injured. .
It's just that Su Jin knew the trick of this torture stick. How could the Empress Dowager Zhou not know about it after she had been in the palace for decades
She saw that when more than a dozen sticks were used, Xiaosi's buttocks were red, but she was still full of energy and became more and more angry.
"You all do your best, do you think the Ai family can't tell? If this dog slave can still breathe within ten sticks, you won't have to work in this palace."
When the guards heard this, they dared not show mercy.
A sap hit, and even though Xiaosi's mouth was gagged, he still howled in pain.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, please don't..." Su Jin was so frightened that her face turned green and her lips turned pale. She hurriedly knelt down on the ground and begged for Xiaosi's mercy.
"Sujin, if you say anything for this little slave, you will be punished together with him. Don't blame the Ai family for not caring about our feelings." Queen Mother Zhou glared at her.
Su Jin bit her lip, feeling anxious and irritable. She knew that Queen Mother Zhou was venting her anger on Xiao Si, but why did Xiao Si deserve to suffer such a crime for the emperor
If he really wanted to wait for the emperor to come back and see Xiaosi beaten to death, how could he not blame the Queen Mother Zhou
