Chapter 219 Testify
"You still haven't told the truth?"
Ji Yuntang increased the strength of the hand that was pinching her chin.
The next second, she reached out her hand towards Nanny Gui's head and pulled out a silver needle as long as her palm.
"Then why did you hide needles in your hair?"
In the palace, to check whether a woman was virgin, one usually just had to take off her pants and check whether the membrane was intact. No tools were needed, let alone such a long silver needle.
It is even more impossible for a normal person to hide silver needles in their hair.
Ji Yuntang felt that Nanny Gui was insulting his intelligence.
"If you don't tell the truth, I will tell the Emperor and the Empress about this matter and let them see your sinister intentions.
"It just so happens that Xu Shaoqing from the Dali Temple is here too. Whoever your master is, under his eighteen kinds of torture, it will depend on whether you speak or not."
"If you don't say anything, Xu Shaoqing has plenty of ways to make you speak. It depends on whether you can still withstand such torture at your age."
After Ji Yuntang finished speaking, he took the needle and pretended to leave. This scene scared Aunt Gui to death.
Even if she had the courage of heaven, she would not dare to bring this matter to the emperor and the empress.
She was just a slave and had not lived enough. She did not want to spend the rest of her life in misery in the Dali Temple prison.
"Say, I said it was my sister who told me to do this."
"Your sister?" Ji Yuntang frowned and asked, "Who is your sister?"
"My elder sister is Madam Sun who is beside Concubine Li. She bears a grudge against you because you hit her before. She also asked me to do something to you during the physical examination this time."
"This is all my sister's idea. It has nothing to do with me. I beg Princess Ye to forgive me this time!"
Nanny Gui knelt on the ground and cried. She knew very well that Nanny Sun had no courage to do such a thing. She just came here to deliver a message.
In fact, everything was ordered by Concubine Li.
She didn't dare to expose Concubine Li, so she could only let Nanny Sun take the blame.
Nanny Gui believed that now that Concubine Li had regained the emperor's favor and Nanny Sun was Concubine Li's confidant, they would definitely protect her.
But looking at herself, it’s different.
If something happens, there is only one way out, and that is death. No one will come to protect you.
How could Ji Yuntang not understand this? Behind Nanny Sun was Concubine Li. Without Concubine Li's instruction, would she dare to let anyone harm her?
Ji Yuntang snorted in his heart. She couldn't overthrow Concubine Li for the time being, but it was more than enough to kill Nanny Sun.
These two people are in the same nest. Nanny Sun has given Concubine Li many ideas to harm Luo Junhe. She will consider killing one of them as revenge for Luo Junhe.
"I can give you the antidote, but you have to come with me to testify before the Emperor and Empress, and repeat what you just said to them."
"If you dare to say even a single word that is false, I will make sure that you will suffer a fate worse than death."
Ji Yuntang stared at Nanny Gui with fierce eyes filled with murderous intent.
After witnessing Ji Yuntang's methods, Nanny Gui was really scared and she regretted taking on this task very much.
If things go wrong, I might lose my life here today.
She nodded repeatedly out of fear, "Don't worry, Princess Ye, I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I promise I won't say anything nonsense."
After she finished speaking, Ji Yuntang used the silver needle in his hand to prick Nanny Gui's legs twice.
There was a slight stinging pain, and suddenly Aunt Gui found that she could stand up, and even the strength in her legs gradually recovered.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly changed her mind.
Now that her legs have recovered, she is no longer under Ji Yuntang's control.
When she arrived before the Emperor, she told him that Ji Yuntang was worried that the physical examination would reveal that she was no longer virgin, so he poisoned her when she was not paying attention and threatened to push the blame onto Nanny Sun, thus putting the blame on Concubine Li.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Nanny Gui felt a pain in her knee again, and then she fell to her knees with a plop.
This time the pain was much more intense and severe than last time.
She was horrified to find that not only the muscles in her legs were in pain, but even the bones inside were in pain.
"Put away your wicked thoughts. I forgot to tell you that I did not completely detoxify you. I just let you stand up temporarily."
"Without my antidote within an hour, your legs will only get worse and worse, and by then your entire lower body will be necrotic and useless."
"How can a useless person be allowed to appear in the palace? You should know what will happen to you after you are no longer useful. Right?"
Aunt Gui's heart was shaken violently.
Of course she knew what would happen to the useless people in the palace.
It was nothing more than being stabbed to death with a sword, and the body thrown into the wilderness to be eaten by wild dogs.
Nanny Gui entered the palace in order to be superior to others and to live in glory and wealth. How could she be willing to end up like that?
After failing to stand up twice, Nanny Gui finally understood that Ji Yuntang was not trying to scare her.
If she dares to say it, she will definitely do it.
Ji Yuntang was not in a hurry either. She looked down at Aunt Gui who was kneeling on the ground and said in a light voice:
"If you go with me as a witness, you can clear your name and live. I can also give you the antidote."
"If you don't testify, another maid will come to examine the body of this princess, but you will be a useless person from now on."
"I have already given you the only way to survive. It's up to you to choose. You and I have no grudges against each other. You don't want to sacrifice your life because of someone else's hatred, right?"
These words really touched Aunt Gui's heart.
She had nothing to do with the matter in the first place. It was Nanny Sun who asked her to tamper with the body examination, so she hid the needle.
Why should she pay for other people's mistakes?
Even if the other person is her sister and the person who brought her into the palace, she is not qualified to pay with her life.
Thinking of this, Nanny Gui's eyes became fierce. She seemed to have made up her mind and reached out to wipe the tears from her face.
"Princess Ye, I am willing to go with you to testify before the Emperor and the Empress."
Ji Yuntang raised his eyebrows, "It would have been better if you had thought of this earlier. You could have suffered less physical pain."
She pricked Aunt Gui's legs a few more times with the silver needle, and Aunt Gui stood up again.
Political Hall.
The people in the hall were waiting anxiously.
After Concubine Li pressed Emperor Jingyang until he was drowsy, she quickly retreated to a location far away from him.
Luo Qianxue took advantage of the others not paying attention and slipped to Concubine Li's side and asked her in a low voice: "Mother, do you think that bitch will really lose her virginity?"
