The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Heaven Prison.

Zhou Chen sat on the chair and looked up at Cuiping who was tied up on the chair.

Cuiping was looking a little disheveled at the moment. She was leaning against the back of the chair with her head tilted. Her eyes could hardly open and she could only barely open a crack to look at Zhou Chen opposite her.

"Confess now," Zhou Chen took a sip of tea and said calmly, "You have persisted for a day, which can be regarded as your loyalty. If you confess now, the imperial concubine will understand."

Cuiping pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Master Zhou, the imperial concubine is your sister, how can you be so heartless..."

"She's just a cousin," Zhou Chen frowned and said calmly, "Besides, I am your Majesty's subject first. Like you, I must be loyal to the one I serve."

Cuiping stopped talking and slowly closed her eyes.

The person next to her brought a bucket of ice water and poured it directly on Cuiping. Cuiping shuddered and opened her eyes again.

She looked at Zhou Chen and said weakly, "Master Zhou, I don't know anything. I won't know even if you ask me again."

"Then why did you go to look for Lord Zhou?" Zhou Chen said patiently, "You couldn't find him in the palace, but you went out of the palace to look for him. If it wasn't something very important, why would you go to such great lengths?"

Cui Ping: "My queen misses her family. I went to see Lord Zhou just to ask him to come to the palace to see my queen. Is this considered a particularly important matter in Lord Zhou's eyes?"

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows: "You are loyal."

He had checked and found that Cuiping was a chatterbox who talked a lot and sometimes dared to say anything regardless of the occasion. Zhou Chen originally thought it would be easy to pry her mouth open, but he didn't expect that after a whole day, the girl didn't say a word.

Zhou Chen looked at Cuiping and said, "I underestimated you."

Cuiping smiled and said nothing.

Zhou Chen added: "You are so loyal to your concubine, have you ever considered your own family?"

Cuiping smiled again and said slowly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Lord Zhou... When I was very young, my hometown suffered a flood and my whole family died, leaving only me. Later, I entered the palace and was lucky enough to be assigned to serve the Imperial Concubine. This is how I can barely live like a human being."

"Lord Zhou wants to threaten me with my family, but I'm afraid I can't let you do what you want. I don't have any family, and the queen is my family."

Zhou Chen was really at his wits' end now.

He sighed and said to Cuiping: "I didn't want to torture you, but you are like this... I have no other choice."

Cuiping shuddered all over, gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Zhou Chen stood up, called the people around him, and said calmly: "Go, invite the Dali Temple Minister, and hand this person over to him. Whether he can pry her mouth open depends on his ability."

After saying that, he got up and left.

Cuiping couldn't help but tremble all over.

Cuiping had heard of this Dali Temple Minister. He looked like jade, but he was cruel and merciless. The deposed prince suffered for many days in his hands, but he let the deposed prince hang on for a breath, making his life worse than death.

Cuiping looked at Zhou Chen's back and opened her mouth, but when she thought of Zhou Ruo, Cuiping swallowed back the cry that was on the tip of her tongue.

She slowly closed her eyes, trembling all over and trying to curl up her body.

She was scared, but she couldn't say it.

She and her mother are both pitiful people. They share the same suffering, and if they don't help each other, no one will help them.
