And Abi also found a good excuse for her - she could use the clothes Shunuan had made for her to make a fuss about.
At that time, Shu Nuan was holding a book and reading in Sheng Palace. He heard footsteps coming from outside the palace. He was about to get up and open the door, but someone outside pushed the door open.
Shu Nuan paused. She saw that the people coming were Shenggu and Abi, with several guards following behind them.
"Kneel down." Sheng Gu looked at her coldly and said.
Shu Nuan raised his eyes, looked at Sheng Gu whose face was covered with a veil, and asked softly: "What did I commit?"
Shenggu turned around and took the torn clothes from Abi's hand and threw them on Shunuan, "You know exactly what you did to the clothes you made for this princess!"
Shu Nuan looked at her confused.
"After wearing your clothes today, my princess felt itchy all over and even coughed up blood. Do you dare to say that it was not you?"
Shu Nuan: "Has the princess seen the imperial doctor?"
"Look! It's just poisoning!"
Shu Nuan remained calm: "What kind of poison?"
Abi rushed forward immediately, "Bold slave girl! Are you the one who can interrogate the princess?! You dare to give the princess poisonous clothes, it is an unforgivable crime!"
After saying that, without waiting for Shu Nuan to reply, Abi loudly said: "Take this slave girl who intends to rebel and take her down and punish her with fifty boards!"
The guards behind him hesitated and did not move. After all, everyone knew that Shu Nuan was King Sheng's recent favorite, and the person speaking was Abi, so it was even less convincing.
Seeing this, Shenggu turned his head and glanced at the guards, and ordered in a cold voice: "Go!"
It suddenly became clear whether Princess Shenggu's will was more important or the slave girl's safety.
Although King Sheng has been doting on this slave girl recently, in the final analysis, she is just a slave girl with no name or status. But Sheng Gu is different. Sheng Gu is not only a princess given by the emperor, but also a slave girl who has been in Shenghe Palace since she was a child. Having grown up there, her majesty is naturally much stronger than that of this slave girl.
Therefore, the next moment Sheng Gu gave the order, several guards took Shu Nuan down.
"I didn't poison him." After Shu Nuan was detained, he still looked up at Sheng Gu and clarified.
But how could Shenggu listen to her explanation? He snorted coldly: "You'll know if she has been tortured." Shenggu said, paused, and then said: "Beat her until she confesses."
Shu Nuan was taken to the Criminal Division, where he was placed on a torture device and beaten with a cane.
She clenched her teeth and held on, but she was hit hard on the back with the cane again and again, as if her limbs and bones were about to be shattered.
She was in so much pain that she finally couldn't help but cry out, but what followed was only getting more and more painful.
Shu Nuan knew very well that Sheng Gu was just using her status to forcefully torture her to extract a confession, but she had no ability to resist. As they said, she was just a slave who had subjugated her country no matter what.
Therefore, Sheng Gu could use his rights to torture her to extract a confession.
I don't know how much time passed, but Shu Nuan was on the verge of death. The cold stone lying under her body was cold and hard. She seemed to be able to smell the blood, so clearly, and her consciousness was hazy.
There is only one strong consciousness. If he continues like this, he will be beaten to death.
But all Sheng Gu wants is for her to plead guilty.
Shu Nuan closed her eyes tightly, and her eyes were wet with physiological tears caused by the pain.
She opened her mouth weakly, her voice hoarse: "I... plead guilty..."
