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
