Back In Time (The Reincarnation of the Cruel Concubine)

He's the culprit!

Spless.......

The sound of lashing echoed in the courtyard of the torture hall, and it had already happened a dozen times. There was no look of pity on the faces of those who witnessed the torture of a young woman, they were staring at Yang Li with anger.

The young dayang named Yang Li could only be silent while enduring the pain all over his body. His hands were tied on top of his head, on a piece of wood with a support, and his legs were tied to each other. Pain in his back and calves due to lashings became numb for a long time, coupled with cold temperatures that pierced the skin. Winter was the season most anticipated by Yang Li, the young lady had even prepared warm clothes for him to wear. Every winter, right after the first snow falls, the Ming Dynasty will host an annual folk feast. There will be many travelers and traders from different countries present at the celebration. But this year seems to be different. While Li may not be able to keep up with the festivities, he must either end up in prison, end up in exile, or die for the wrongs he had to endure.

"Say! Who told you to?!" ask the soldier in charge of torturing Yang Li.

Silent.

"Say! Who told you to?!"

Silence, Yang Li remained silent.

"Say! Who told you to?!"

Spless.......

Fresh blood flowed again, aggravating the wounds that were still wet. Yang Li could only stay still, his legs were like they could no longer hold his weight. Her tears had dried up from crying too much. In the rest of his consciousness, Yang Li begged the god in the sky, to take his life away. It's better than living with endless pain.

On the other hand, Yang Jia Li was sitting gracefully beside Emperor Zhou. Seen from the outside the empress may seem calm, but in her heart she was so worried. He squeezed his fingers behind the long arm of hanfu, hopefully the lady did not say anything.

The winter wind was getting colder, the country was like a cloudy roof and fog. The first snow will soon fall. "Oh God, bless me with good luck." Yang Jia Li prayed inwardly.

Yang Jia Li glanced at Dayang Yue, the woman faithfully being nearby. The queen looked over and whispered softly. "How's this? Why didn't you just kill him last night?"

"Calm down, Your Majesty." whispered Dayang Yue, "Trust in Mr. Yang."

"Are you sure he won't talk like that?"

Dayang Yue nodded, "Of course." she said to appease the empress, because ever since the pavilion lady was caught. Yang Jia Li was the most agitated person.

The queen is back facing forward. There were many imperial higher-ups present to witness the torture, most of them were also curious about the lady's evil motives.

Since it was impossible for a young lady like Yang Li to commit such an incredible crime, Yang Li could not even read the writing, and where did he know about the mercury poison. Even more strange is where he got mercury from, even though his daily life is always in the palace.

But what you want to say, wrong is still wrong. Yang Li would never be able to escape so easily.

"Darling Yi, are you sure the lady-in-waiting did it?" asked Wu Li Mei, the concubine and Dayang Yi had just arrived at the torture hall. They took quiet steps so as not to steal a lot of attention.

Dayang Yi observed Yang Li from a distance, the ladyboy narrowed his eyes. "Yes, Your Majesty. She was the lady-in-waiting in the princess pavilion."

"Find out the results?"

Understanding with the sentence Wu Li Mei had just spoken, Dayang Yi immediately nodded and left. The lady-in-waiting headed for one of the soldiers in the corner of the hall, the soldier was the scribe of the torture hall. He is the one who wrote all the statements made by the perpetrator.

About five minutes later, the lady returned empty-handed. Dayang Yi shook his head, "Sorry, Your Majesty. No results yet, the lady still won't talk."

"Snack."

"Any?"

Wu Li Mei nodded, she crossed her arms while looking ahead. "There must be something he's hiding, the real culprit may have manipulated the young lady in various ways."

"Mema.... manipula... who?"

"Forget it, Dayang Yi!" sela Wu Li Mei's.

Spless......

Yang Li looked up as the final whip seemed to have knocked out his body. The breath of the young lady became dashed due to the excruciating pain. Yang Li tried to open his eyes even though it was very difficult, he stared one after another at the torture hall.

Netraya caught the figure of a beautiful woman with blue hanfu, the woman stood with her loyal lady-in-waiting. "Sorry, Your Majesty." Yang Li said inwardly.

"Se... concubine..maz."

The soldiers looked at each other, they did not miss a look as the pale lips of the princess pavilion lady moved. One of them approached, to hear more clearly.

"Se.se.se.great concubine." shrieked Yang Li again.

"What's he saying?" ask another soldier.

"Great Concubine" said the soldier slowly, believing he heard the name before the young lady fell unconscious.

Everyone in the torture hall was unpretentious, some were shocked, some were in disbelief, and some were ordinary. They heard that the soldier said the great concubine was the culprit.

Making good use of the circumstances, Yang Jia Li immediately stood up. "Wu Li Mei is the culprit!"

"Soldier! Quickly arrest the grand concubine." said Yang Jia Li.

The soldiers came forward timidly. Who does not remember how cruel the concubine used to be.

"Hey! What are you doing!" jolt Wu Li Mei, he thrashed to release the check of the soldiers' hands. "What the fuck!" shouted Wu Li Mei furiously.

"You're the culprit! The dayang said the great concubine did it." said the empress.

"No!!" Wu Li Mei shook her head firmly, "It's not that I did it, there's no way that I poisoned my own son."

Yang Jia Li smiled obliquely, "No one knows what you're mixing into the medicine instead, confess Wu Li Mei you're the culprit!"

"Soldier, quickly arrest him!" appoint the empress.

"No!!!"

Zhou Ming Hao came forward to protect the mother, as did Zhou Fang Yin who drove the soldiers away from hurting Wu Li Mei. "My mother is innocent, this is a baseless accusation. The Grand Concubine obviously loved Xiao Ling very much."

"You still can't believe how rotten your mother is?! Didn't you hear what the lady said."

Emperor Zhou rose from his throne, the man walked over with an aura full of firmness that was very clearly felt. The emperor walked over to Wu Li Mei.

"Mother is innocent, Your Majesty" Zhou Ming Hao said.

"I beg you not to let Mother be arrested, Your Majesty." Zhou Fang Yin asked.

Emperor Zhou remained silent, his gaze flat with no expression. The emperor's hand pulled Wu Li Mei from the check of the soldiers.

"Commander Hao!"

Commander Hao immediately approached, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Bring the grand concubine towards the examination hall." everyone was shocked by the emperor's statement, as well as Wu Li Mei. "But, if I see a single speck of wound on the body of the great concubine, I will be the one to decapitate your soldiers."
