Chapter 22: A Satisfying Beating, Ending Up as Mashed Meat
Qiao Yun was tied to a long bench, her hair disheveled, her face pale, and cold sweat dripping down. She let out a miserable cry while shouting "Empress, save me!" The clothes on her back were already torn beyond recognition, with blood and flesh visible underneath, and blood dripped down to the ground.
Four eunuchs, with wooden rods in their hands, rose and fell in unison, densely falling on Chao Yun's back and legs.
"We'll use a bit of force and make this slave continue to shout, then Her Majesty the Empress will be in trouble. You've all made an effort, Her Majesty will definitely reward you heavily." A pointed-faced eunuch struck Qiaoyun's mouth with a stick, saying shrilly to the other three eunuchs.
"Yes, yes." The other three replied nervously, their eyes filled with reverence as they looked at the sharp-faced eunuch, clearly treating him as the empress's spy.
The rod that fell on Chuiyun's body was even heavier and more dense, the four eunuchs were all exerting their utmost strength, Chuiyun let out wave after wave of heart-wrenching cries, then her voice gradually grew weaker, and soon there was no sound at all.
The sharp-faced eunuch checked her breathing and nodded in satisfaction. "She's dead, all right. Take her away."
Four eunuchs quickly untied the ropes binding Chou Yun, and she fell to the ground with a thud. The four eunuchs were afraid of getting blood on them and immediately stepped aside.
The body was sprawled on the ground like a piece of rotten meat, with bloodstains seeping from underneath, looking gruesome and terrifying. Two eunuchs wrinkled their brows in distaste, lifted her two arms, and dragged her away like a soft, limp cotton sack to a secluded area. It seemed as though all her bones were broken.
The other two eunuchs carried the bench away elsewhere.
Only a pool of blood that was so red it was dazzling remained on the ground. A gust of cold wind blew by, and Yun Jingxi couldn't help but shiver. He was somewhat unclear as to why Yun Jinchu had insisted on coming here to see such a bloody thing, and just as he was wondering, a suppressed yet slightly sharp voice sounded in his ear: "You immediately go back and report to the Empress Dowager, tell her that Chouyun has already been beaten to death, and only Choulain is left. Let the Empress Dowager be at ease, our family will take care of it."
Although the voice was intentionally lowered, it stood out exceptionally clearly in the quiet forest.
Yun Jingxi was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and only then did he see clearly that it was Yun Jinchu who was speaking. After finishing, with a hint of cold smile, he looked in a certain direction. Yun Jingxi followed suit and looked over as well.
Behind a certain tree, a pink skirt was exposed, it could be seen that it was the dress of a low-ranking palace maid. The skirt fluttered and shook, like a small animal that had been frightened, it could be seen that the owner of the skirt was trembling with fear.
In a flash, the pink skirt fluttered out from behind the tree and then a pink shadow quickly ran away into the distance. From the back, it was a 17 or 18-year-old palace maid.
"Let's go." Yun Jingchu hooked his lips and revealed a chilling smile, turned around, and headed back the way they came.
Quietly following Jun Qingchu's back until they left the palace gate, Yun Jingxi asked in a low voice, "Why did you want to go see?"
He doesn't think Yun Jingchu went there out of curiosity or for fun.
"Those two palace maids were the ones who took care of me when I was in the Cold Palace." Yun Jingchu said lightly, then boarded the carriage.
Yun Jingxi was stunned, looking at Yun Jinchu who had disappeared behind the curtain. After a long time, his eyes slowly turned painful: He understood that those two palace maids must have received Yun Suoyao's orders to abuse Jingshu, or that big fire was also...
"Third Brother, hurry up and get on the horse carriage, we should head back." A voice came from the horse carriage beside them, it was Yun Jing Teng.
Yun Jingxi's shocked and pained expression paused for a moment, then quickly collected her facial expression, turned her head to Yun Jingteng who was poking his head out, smiled at him, and boarded the carriage.
The horse carriage started slowly, and in the swaying carriage, Yun Jingxi closed her eyes, covering up the heartache and anger in her eyes: what had her sister gone through to reveal such a cold and bone-piercing gaze?
