Chapter 20 — The Queen Mother Repays Gratitude - In This Life I Will Not Be Afraid of Confrontation

"He said... he said that as long as the women help him do one thing, the women will enjoy endless glory and wealth."

“But the timid women did not dare to agree, so they chased him away.”

“Could it be… could it be that he is a rebel?”

My words are half true and half false. But it cleverly hit Wei Tien's heart. In his eyes there flashed a light that was hard to detect.

“What did he tell you to do?”

“He… he said…”

I "feared" glanced at On Uyen on the phoenix seat and then immediately lowered my head, my voice trembling like a leaf.

"He told the women... to find an opportunity to approach the Queen."

“Then put a type of... a chronic poison called 'Shield Co' into your food... a chronic poison..."

As soon as the words fell, the whole arena was shocked!

“Shield Co”!

It was a secret medicine from the royal court of the previous dynasty. It was colorless and odorless. The poisoned person would gradually become crazy and crazy, and eventually die in extreme pain. The situation is so pitiful that I cannot bear to look at it! On Uyen's face immediately turned pale. She looked at me, her eyes filled with fear and a hint of fear afterwards. But Wei Tien let out an even colder laugh.

“Ha ha ha ha…”

“What a cruel plan!”

He stepped in front of me and used the whisk to gently lift my chin. (A whisk is a wooden, jade or metal handle attached to a bunch of long white fibers usually made from horse hair.) Forcing me to look straight at him.

“Little lady, you did very well.”

"You promptly reported the plot of the rebel party to me. This is a great achievement."

“I will personally ask for your reward in front of the king.”

His voice suddenly changed, becoming deeper and scarier.

“To make sure what you say is not false.”

“You still have to follow me back to Dong Xuan.”

“Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you.”

“There are just a few details that I need you to 'remember' carefully for me.”

After he finished speaking, he let me go. Turn around and pretend to clasp hands with On Uyen.

“Your Majesty, you have heard it too.”

"She has my back"

"This matter involves human safety and cannot be taken lightly."

“We have to bring people in for thorough interrogation to find the mastermind behind it.”

"I still hope that you will use the phoenix as your main body and allow me to take you away."

The words have reached this point. On Uyen knew she no longer had any reason to stop her. She could only watch helplessly as the only chess piece that could threaten Wei Tien was forcibly taken from her hands. Her face was pale. The chest rose and fell violently. A long time later. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out the words. On Wei Tien's face appeared the triumphant smile of a winner.

“Where are you?”

He waved the ceiling.

“Send Miss Tu back to Prison.”

Two Dong Xuong men immediately stepped forward, one left, one right, holding my hands tightly. I do not protest. It's just that when I was being pulled away, I turned my head and looked deeply into On Uyen. I still had a look of utter panic on my face. But at the bottom of her eyes was hidden a cold smile that she did not understand. On Uyen, do you think you won? You have lost. Right from the moment you forced me to enter the East Workshop. You have completely lost. Because you will never expect it. My true purpose has never been to leave your Kun Ninh Palace. It's about entering Wei Jin's Eastern Factory Prison! That place is the real stage of this play! I was escorted out of Kun Ninh by the Dong Xuong crowd Bow. Behind him was On Uyen's resentful eyes, almost wanting to breathe fire. In front of him was Wei Tien's deep, unpredictable back that sent chills down his spine. The sky of the capital city gradually became gloomy. A bigger storm is coming. East Workshop of Prison. These four words are like a hellish sword hanging above the heads of all the officials of the capital. In legend, this place is the human purgatory. The wall was built of human bones mixed with sticky rice. Under the tiled floor is the blood of sinners that has never dried up. The air was filled with the screams of unjust souls that had not been dissolved for decades. I was dragged by two Dong Xuong guys like a dead dog, all the way into this legendary hell. The smell of blood. Rotten smell. That was my first impression of Doomsday. The hallway was long, with torches still dripping oil on both sides of the walls. The firelight illuminated the blackened blood stains and scratches on the wall, creating flickering ghost shadows. At the end of the hallway is a large, heavy door made of black iron. On the door are carved devils with fierce faces.

“Creak——”

The door was slowly pushed open. A stronger smell, mixed with the smell of blood, rot and despair, hit me straight in the face. Makes me almost want to vomit. Behind the door is another world. A giant underground cave. Inside are all kinds of tools, some we've seen before, some we've never seen before, and even some we've never dared to imagine. Dark red blood stains remained on each figure. Several Dong Xuong men also wearing Phi Fishery uniforms were surrounding a man tied up on a torture rack. His body was no longer healthy. But he still let out screams like an unwilling beast. A Dong Xuong man held a red-hot iron bar and aggressively pressed it down on his chest. The sound of burning flesh echoed throughout Chieu Prison.
