Who doesn’t know that the old lady of the Lin family has been asking the queen to release Qiao Nian whenever she finds a suitable opportunity in the past three years?

And Qiao Nian cares most about the old lady.

The Lin family knows how to use the old lady to check Qiao Nian, and Xiao Heng knows how to use the old lady to threaten Qiao Nian.

Then, King Ming naturally knows it too.

Sure enough, Qiao Nian, who was still struggling, suddenly stopped moving after hearing what King Ming said.

The mouth that had grown bigger due to suffocation suddenly closed, and only a pair of eyes were still staring at King Ming.

King Ming didn’t expect that just this sentence alone could make Qiao Nian give up resistance.

After a moment of surprise, an unprecedented sense of excitement came over him.

He suddenly let go of Qiao Nian and shouted impatiently to the outside of the carriage, "Are you there yet!"

"My Lord, we're almost there!"

The response outside the carriage finally temporarily suppressed King Ming's anger.

He sat back in his seat, tilted his head, and looked at Qiao Nian from head to toe with sharp eyes, as if he was considering where to start later.

At this moment, Qiao Nian just covered her neck and breathed heavily.

There was no fear on her face for all the possibilities that were about to come.

And this also made King Ming more interested in her.

The carriage stopped soon.

Before the carriage stopped, King Ming got up impatiently and dragged Qiao Nian out of the car.

Qiao Nian realized that they were in front of a villa.

This villa looked no different from other mansions, but it suddenly appeared in the desolate wilderness around it, which meant that its purpose would not be simple.

A few words suddenly popped up in Qiao Nian's mind.

Cry to the sky and no one will answer, cry to the earth and no one will answer!

In this place, I'm afraid no matter how shrill the scream is, no one will hear it, right?

"Go in!" King Ming dragged Qiao Nian into the mansion, looking impatient, like a hungry ghost.

The driver trotted forward and opened the door of a room before King Ming.

King Ming pushed Qiao Nian in.

The room was dark.

The windows around were nailed tightly with wooden boards, and no light could be seen.

With the light from the door, the driver went into the room very skillfully, found the fire starter, and lit a few candles.

It was also at this time that Qiao Nian finally saw the room clearly.

Except for a chair, there was no decoration.

Those candlesticks were pressed against the wall.

Through the dim candlelight, she could clearly see many dark red marks on the wall.

It was dried blood.

Even the air was faintly filled with a bloody smell.

It was obvious what had happened in this room...

"Bang!"

The driver went out and closed the door hard.

Before leaving, he handed the whip in his hand to King Ming.

Without the light outside the door, the room was extremely dim with only a few small candlesticks.

Qiao Nian couldn't even see King Ming's face clearly.

But King Ming walked to the chair, sat down, and opened his arms to Qiao Nian, "What do you think of this place?"

Qiao Nian looked around and asked, "Is this the west of the city?"

King Ming's mouth slightly raised, "Sure enough, someone said something to Nian Nian."

Qiao Nian didn't say anything.

But in his heart, he was laughing at his own stupidity.

King Ming looked at her like this, and his eyes revealed a bit of desire, "Nian Nian is not afraid?"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian looked at King Ming and asked coldly. "Will the prince beat me to death?"

King Ming stared at her and then shook his head.

Qiao Nian had expected this answer.

Since King Ming needed to marry her, he would not take her life.

It was because he couldn't take her life that he used his grandmother to threaten her not to talk nonsense!

Qiao Nian took a deep breath and then spoke, "Since the prince will not take my life, then I have nothing to fear."

She did not see any torture instruments in this room. The only torture instrument was the whip in the hands of King Ming.

In the three years in the laundry department, she did not know how many times she was whipped.

She survived three years, so today, she will definitely survive.

Looking at her fearless appearance, King Ming's excitement almost jumped out of his eyes.

He slowly stood up and walked towards Qiao Nian, "I just said that I like you the most like this."

As he said, he reached out and lifted the hair by Qiao Nian's ears to her back, just like before in the palace.

Only this time, his hand suddenly grabbed the earrings on Qiao Nian's ears, and then pulled them hard.

"Ah!"

Qiao Nian screamed in pain, instinctively raised her hands to cover her ears, and her palms were instantly soaked with warmth.

While King Ming looked at the earrings dripping with blood, his chest began to rise and fall violently, and the smile on his mouth could hardly be suppressed. He looked at Qiao Nian and finally raised the whip in his hand high...

At the same time, in the Marquis' Mansion.

Xiao Heng brought a lot of good things to visit the old lady today. The old lady sat on the couch, looking at the precious medicinal materials sent, and couldn't help laughing and said, "You kid, I haven't finished the things you sent last time! What are you sending so much again?"

Xiao Heng smiled warmly, "Of course it's to honor the old lady. In Xiao Heng's heart, the old lady is Xiao Heng's grandmother."

Xiao Heng's words undoubtedly amused the old lady.

But the old lady also knew that Xiao Heng did not come for her today, so after talking to Xiao Heng for a few words, she said that she was tired and asked Xiao Heng to go and play with the younger generation.

Xiao Heng naturally agreed, and walked out of the old lady's yard and headed for Lin Ye's residence.

Just halfway, he saw Lin Ye and Lin Yuan.

Seeing Xiao Heng, Lin Yuan looked shy and whispered, "Brother Heng."

Xiao Heng nodded slightly as a gesture, and then heard Lin Ye say, "This girl insisted on pulling me to find you when she heard you were here."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Ye and Xiao Heng were both stunned.

Because Lin Ye often said this before.

But the girl he was talking about at that time was Qiao Nian.

Lin Ye couldn't help but feel annoyed. Really, why did he think of that girl for no reason?

He snorted coldly, "She might be holding the imperial concubine's legs and refusing to come back!" What time is it now!

Lin Yuan looked at Lin Ye with some confusion, "Brother, are you talking about my sister?"

But why did you suddenly talk about my sister?

Lin Ye felt a little upset that he had mentioned Qiao Nian for no reason, so he didn't respond.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan said, "I just heard from the coachman returning to the mansion that my sister went to the lake with the King Ming."

Xiao Heng frowned, "She and the King Ming?"

Lin Yuan's heart trembled slightly, thinking that Xiao Heng was a little too concerned about Qiao Nian, so he didn't say anything.

Instead, Lin Ye waved his hand, "Hey, it's just a lake tour, not going to the west of the city. It must be that the imperial concubine De instructed them to cultivate their relationship!"

Xiao Heng didn't respond, but felt that an ominous premonition quietly spread.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ye put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Don't mention that girl, she's annoying. We haven't had a small gathering for a long time. Let's go and have a drink!"

Lin Yuan stood there in a daze, looking at the backs of the two. He hesitated for a while and finally couldn't say the words on his lips.

The driver said that the direction they were going was the west of the city...
