After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

"Boom-"

The heavy boards fell on Nan Yuan again and again.

She wanted to struggle, but her limbs were tied tightly to the wooden board, and her whole body was nailed down and she couldn't move.

She was shaking with pain, but she didn't even have the strength to scream.

I just felt as if all the bones in my body were being torn apart, and every part was in excruciating pain.

Although Nan Yuan had learned martial arts for a few days, she was still a delicate woman and could not endure such punishment.

In order to get rid of the troublesome Nan Yuan as soon as possible, Chu Yanzhi had people hit her on the back instead of her buttocks as usual.

Even a strong man could not withstand this spinal cane, let alone a weak woman who could not even tie a chicken!

"Your Majesty has ordered that whoever is caught murdering the Queen should be beaten to death immediately to serve as a warning to others. Beat him hard!"

Chu Yanzhi had a grim look on his face as he looked down at Nan Yuan who was nailed to the wooden board.

An ant, yet he wants to compete with his sister for the position of Crown Princess. He is simply courting death.

"Bah!" Chu Yanzhi spat and looked up at the sky.

It’s getting late. The sooner this disaster is resolved, the sooner he can feel at ease.

At this time, Nan Yuan was in so much pain that she couldn't even utter a single syllable.

But I could still feel the piercing pain coming from behind, and my whole body was trembling.

The spinal cane fell heavily on her body again and again.

Every time the stick fell on her, her skin was torn.

Nan Yuan's gaze swept across the sunlight setting in the sky.

I thought, she just wanted to survive, why was it so difficult?

Look, such a nice and warm sunshine. She tried so hard to live in the sunshine, but in the end she couldn't do so.

She has been thinking about living in peace all her life, but why does God always play such jokes on her?

She was given a chance to live her life again, but she could not change anything, and even died earlier than in her previous life.

What did she do wrong?

Why should she be subjected to such torture and pain again and again?

She couldn't figure it out...

Maybe, this is life.

This is the punishment she deserves.

Nan Yuan closed her eyes, tears slowly flowed down, blurring her vision.

She didn't know how much time she had left to hold on...

She was tired...really tired...

Kunning Palace.

"Commander Nan, you should go and have a rest. You are not needed for this patrol." A guard said respectfully to Nan Jiamu.

Nan Jiamu just waved his hand, his eyes still fixed on the entrance of Kunning Palace.

He heard yesterday that Xiao Yuan'er would go to the palace with Princess Xie to meet the Queen today. Calculating the time, she should be out by now.

He hadn't seen Xiao Yuan'er for quite some time, so today he just happened to send her out of the palace so they could meet. He was also worried that she didn't know the ins and outs of the palace, and it would be bad if she went to the wrong place.

The people in this palace all look like decent human beings, but in fact, they are all ruthless and heartless.

There are many nobles in the palace, and he has been working for such a long time but still hasn't figured out who the concubines in the palace are, not to mention that Xiao Yuan'er has only been to the palace a few times.

If you offend someone, it's okay if he's easy to talk to, but if he's someone with a bad temper, you're bound to suffer.

There are also those servants who look down on others. The status of Prince Xie's Mansion is not high in the capital, and those servants are even more flattering. If Xiao Yuan'er follows Princess Xie into the palace, there is no guarantee that someone will not make trouble for her.

It would be better for him to send Xiao Yuan'er out personally.

Nan Jiamu was too lazy to care about others, but he only had one sister, Nan Yuan, and she had not been to the palace many times, so he could not let anything go wrong.

"Did you see the blood on the Tonghua Terrace?"

Two palace maids came out of Kunning Palace, talking in whispers.

"I just came back from there, but I dare not look at it, it's too tragic." Another palace maid covered her chest, looking frightened.

"Who can she blame for this tragedy? Who told her to use witchcraft to curse the Queen? She asked for it. Everyone knows that His Majesty loves the Queen the most, and how dare she break this taboo in front of His Majesty?" said the palace maid from before hatefully.

"Who said it wasn't true? She is so brave that she thought Prince Xie's Mansion could protect her. She actually..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw a row of imperial guards approaching them menacingly. The rest of her words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter a single word.

Nan Jiamu only heard the words Tonghuatai, caning to death, and Xie Wangfu. He intuitively felt that this matter was related to Xiao Yuaner.

He rushed forward, his voice trembling, and asked, "What did you just say? Who was beaten to death?"

"Someone in Prince Xie's mansion got into trouble?!" Nan Jiamu's voice suddenly rose, scaring the two little palace maids so much that their legs went limp and they almost fell to the ground.

"talk!"

The maid from before reacted quickly and said, "... OK... It seems to be the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Xie's Mansion."

When Nan Jiamu heard this, it was as if he was struck by lightning.

The Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Xie's Mansion...

The Crown Prince's Consort...

Isn’t that Xiao Yuaner?

Nan Jiamu's head buzzed and he saw stars in front of his eyes. His body swayed and he was supported by the guard Zheng Shiwen behind him, so he did not fall to the ground.

He didn't have time to think about anything and ran towards the Tonghua Terrace like crazy.

Xiao Yuaner, hold on!

Xiao Yuan'er, please don't be in any danger!

Nan Jiamu's footsteps became faster and faster, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his heart was pounding, as if it might jump out of his throat at any time.

"Commander Nan... Commander Nan, where are you going?"

Zheng Shiwen was his deputy general, who was recently promoted and had no idea about the relationship between Nan Jiamu and Prince Xie's Palace.

Nan Jiamu ran as fast as he could, ignoring the guards chasing him, and ran all the way towards the Tonghua Terrace.

Many palace maids and guards gathered outside Tonghua Terrace to watch the fun. Some were pointing, some were talking, and some were whispering.

Nan Jiamu couldn't hear what they were saying. His attention was now entirely focused on the long-abandoned Paulownia Terrace.

Tonghua Terrace, this is Tonghua Terrace, Xiao Yuan'er is at Tonghua Terrace...

"Get out of the way, get out of my way!"

Nan Jiamu pushed away the people surrounding the Tonghua Terrace and climbed up the stairs desperately.

As soon as he stepped into the Tonghua Terrace, Nan Jiamu smelled a strong smell of blood.

He climbed to the highest point, staggering step by step, and saw Nan Yuan, who was tied to the rack and dying, from afar.

Nan Yuan's mouth was blocked, and her body and face were covered in blood. Blood was still dripping down from the wooden rack of execution.

That’s Xiao Yuan’er, his sister!

This was his sister whom he held so tightly in his hands that he was afraid she would break, but now she had become like this.

Nan Jiamu's eyes suddenly turned red, his heart contracted violently, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"stop!"

Nan Jiamu shouted angrily with gritted teeth, his eyes as cold as ice in the dead of winter.

The guard who was carrying out the execution knew Nan Jiamu, and when he heard him say this, he immediately stopped.

"Who told you to stop? His Majesty has ordered that you be beaten to death immediately. Do you dare to disobey the order?" Chu Yanzhi shouted harshly.

I really didn't expect that even at this time, something unexpected would happen.

But no matter what, no matter who comes, Nan Yuan must die today.
