Squatting down, Zhao Rui raised his hand and grabbed the palace maid's hair, raising her face to face him.
"The East Palace is such a big place, and there are only a few dozen maids."
"Since you came in under the guise of a palace maid, someone must have seen you. I will ask all the palace ladies to come over and identify each other. One of them will recognize you."
"As long as you find the person who helped you enter the East Palace, you will be able to figure out the mastermind behind you."
"Are you right?"
After listening to Zhao Rui's words, the palace maid had a look of panic on her face.
But she still said stubbornly: "So what? I just spent some money to bribe someone and bought a set of clothes. Even if someone has seen me, they don't know my origin."
"Yes, what you said makes sense."
Zhao Rui not only did not refute, but even praised her, then let go of the palace maid's hair, stood up and ordered to the eunuchs: "Take off her shoes and socks, and give me her toenails one by one.
Pick out.”
Zhao Rui turned his head and said to the palace maid with a gentle face: "You must not do it. If you do, my fun will be much less."
Zhao Rui's words made the palace maid's ten fingers that were already numb feel painful again.
Recalling the unbearable pain, the palace maid shivered all over.
Especially the huge contrast between Zhao Rui's gentle tone and the gorgeous ghost-like face between the two, stunning and terrifying intertwined, leaving only fear in the palace maid's heart.
The fear of Zhao Rui deep in her heart actually outweighed the pain in her body. At this time, she never wanted to be tortured again.
The palace maid closed her eyes and screamed: "I'll do it, I'll do it all!"
"I will tell you everything you want to know. I just ask you to kill me quickly and give me a happy life!"
Zhao Rui looked at the palace maid coldly, her eyes seeming to be a bit disgusted that the palace maid was defeated so quickly.
"Someone is here to take notes for her and record everything she said."
"Who ordered her, and how did she enter the East Palace? Everything about the assassination must be written clearly."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Rui chuckled and added: "If she is dishonest at all, then there is no need to talk nonsense. Pick off all his fingernails one toe by one, and then tell me again. I will naturally have more
Find a way to deal with him."
After saying this, Zhao Rui turned around and left, leaving the palace maid with a frightened face busy telling the guards who came to record everything she knew.
As soon as Zhao Rui went out, her face turned pale as she couldn't bear it any longer, and she retched twice while holding on to the railing.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Zhao Rui lying on the railing retching, several of her maids were frightened and hurriedly came forward to ask.
"It's okay." Zhao Rui shook his head.
He said a little weakly: "I'm just not used to the blood just now."
Several maids also said with lingering fears: "It turns out that your Majesty is also afraid. The slaves thought that we were afraid because we had never seen such a bloody scene. But just now, Your Majesty, you didn't show any signs of it."
"If even you could see that I was scared, then how could that palace maid confess?"
