Ye Zixuan was tortured to the brink of death by all sorts of punishments that could cause pain even if she didn't have any injuries. It could be said that she couldn't beg for life or death.

The System had been advising her to exchange for the ability to cut off pain detection, but she was unwilling to waste merit points and refused.

She was a person with tenacity and stubbornness. The stronger she was, the stronger she would be. She also had a strong desire to return home, so no matter how difficult it was, she would persevere and say nothing that she shouldn't have.

She didn't have much hope of leaving now. At the beginning, she believed that Fourth Master would come and save her.

After all, even if he didn't want her to save him, he still needed her to treat his son's poison.

However, as time passed, her hope gradually turned into despair.

After all, in ancient times, men had always been heartless towards women. Moreover, he was known for being ungrateful towards women.

Perhaps he was the same as Kangxi, suspecting that she was the one who poisoned him, so he left her to fend for herself.

The more she thought about it, the more discouraged she became. Only then did she realize that she had unknowingly fallen in love with Fourth Master. It was just that she refused to admit it.

The few old nuns who were executing the punishment were also discouraged. They had never seen such a tough person in their many years of punishment. No matter what punishment they received, they would not utter a single word and would not confess, no matter what the cost.

However, they had scruples in their hearts and did not dare to use those formidable torture instruments that would leave behind traces.

When they had used up all the punishments they had left without leaving a trace, Ye Zixuan still refused to admit anything, so they had no choice but to use needles.

The needle was not inflicted with much damage, but it was extremely painful. The old nanny took off Ye Zixuan's outer garment, leaving behind only her undergarments. She then took out a few long needles and pierced them into the hidden part of Ye Zixuan's body.

Ye Zixuan screamed in pain as the door was kicked open. Everyone looked towards the door in shock. They were so frightened that their legs gave way and they fell to their knees.

Fourth Master barged in aggressively. When he saw the situation inside the room, his originally cold face was covered in a layer of frost. The flames of anger burned within his eyes.

Seeing Ye Zixuan's disheveled clothes, the guards who had followed her in were frightened out of their wits and hurriedly retreated.

Fourth Master snorted angrily, took off his cloak, and wrapped Ye Zixuan up.

Ye Zixuan waited from morning to night. When Fourth Master finally arrived, she came back to life with a heart full of despair and despair.

She looked at Fourth Master with a relieved smile. "You're finally here …"

She forced herself to relax and fainted.

"Forget about it …" "Forget about it …"

When Fourth Master saw her faint, he immediately carried her out to the doctor.

Before he left, he turned around and coldly looked at the old wet nurse. The coldness in his eyes was as real as the real thing.

They were scared to the point of trembling. After all, the rumors about Fourth Master being cold and ruthless were not for nothing. Furthermore, they had their own ulterior motives …

Naturally, he was even more afraid.

Fourth Master ordered his men to take them down and hand them over to Thirteenth Master who came with him for interrogation. Previously, he had asked Lee Dequan about this, the Emperor only allowed them to be interrogated and not tortured.

However, his current thoughts were completely occupied by the little girl who had fainted in his arms. He had no time to pay attention to anything else.

Fourth Master ignored the pain in his leg and carried her back to Tingyu Pavilion from the carriage.

After instructing Su Peisheng to go get a doctor from the people, he no longer trusted those imperial physicians. He knew that this matter was definitely related to those people.

They must have been jealous of Ye Zixuan's talent, so they deliberately framed her.

As for whether there were any deeper reasons, he would investigate them thoroughly.

The result of the doctor's diagnosis made Fourth Master's face turn green for a long time. He also coldly faced Fourth Baroness, who had come to visit him.

"Is Baroness satisfied now?" Wangyou has suffered so much now, and her life is also at stake. If something were to happen to her this time, where are you going to find a genius doctor to treat Honghui? "Don't harm yourself and regret it later!" Fourth Master sneered.

"Master, I have been wronged!" "I did not mean to harm you. At that time, I was too eager for you to help me, so I acted wrongly in a moment of desperation. Please punish me."

Fourth Baroness quickly kneeled down and shouted her grievances.

Fourth Master stared coldly at Fourth Baroness. He didn't care whether she did it on purpose or not, but if she didn't kneel down, those people wouldn't have taken the opportunity to throw all their worries to the ground.

Right now, he was extremely disgusted with the girl from the harem for fighting openly and secretly.

Previously, he had asked Su Peisheng to investigate who did this while Wangyou was recuperating. It was only after investigation that he found out that almost all the girls in the backyard had done it.

Among them, the ruthless method of the peerless heir was coming from Baroness, the virtuous, dignified, and magnanimous woman in front of him.

They had slept in the same bed for more than ten years, yet he did not know that this virtuous wife of his had such a venomous heart under her pure and innocent face.

Fourth Baroness was scared witless by Fourth Master's probing gaze. Cold sweat trickled down her straight back.

Baroness's management of the house is unfavorable, causing Honghui to be poisoned. The penalty is a year, and the Medicine Master's Scripture is copied a hundred times. The rest of the people are all forbidden to go out for a month, and to copy the Sutra of Washing Sins for a thousand times. "" Yes, that's right. Fourth Master announced the punishment in a cold voice.

Hearing this, Fourth Baroness trembled and could no longer kneel. She did not care about the monthly allowance. In any case, she had a large amount of dowry.

However, this kind of punishment, coupled with the reprimand from the management of the residence and the punishment from the Alchemy Scripture that followed, peeled off her legal wife's face and put her on the ground to be stomped on.

Let her copy a scripture for a lowly concubine? Was that slut worthy?

She hated it so much that she almost bled her palms.

At this moment, she had completely forgotten that other than the injured Ye Zixuan, Honghui was also poisoned.

She wholeheartedly considered Fourth Master's punishment as a humiliation, but she didn't know that Fourth Master didn't have this intention at all. He only wanted her to write a prayer for Honghui.

In the end, the two of them walked further and further away from each other.
