Chapter 135 - Take off Her Clothes, or Skin Her (1/2)

“No. Your people said that before. I just guess…” Shi Baojin opened her mouth and tried to argue.

Mo Junyang gave her choices. “Tell me, or have a living death.”

Or rather there was no choice for her.

Shi Baojin looked at Mo Junyang in fear and explained, jabbering, “It’s not me. I have never planned to harm Shi Qingxue. You must…”

She attempted to struggle, but Mo Junyang lost his last patience and said to the man next to him, “Find several beggars to take off her clothes.”

After giving the order, Mo Junyang showed a rare smile and looked at Shi Baojin gently. “This is the game we didn’t finish last time. You must be expecting it, right?”

His smile was like the summons of the demon in hell.

Shi Baojin was frightened and didn’t come back to her senses until several dirty and ugly beggars were brought into the prison. She screamed and waved her arms crazily, shouting, “No. Go away. Get out.”

The ugly beggars saw Shi Baojin. Even though there was blood all over her body and her face couldn’t be seen clearly, she was a woman anyway. They pounced on her like the starving people finding a meat. Two of them fixed her limbs with one on each side, and other two came up quickly to take off her clothes.

Shi Baojin was scared and shed tears, struggling without stopping, but she had to watch her prison clothes being peeled off one after another.

“No!”

When those beggars’ filthy hands touched her skin, she almost fell apart. She lost control and shouted at Mo Junyang, “I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything. Let me go, please…”

Mo Junyang suddenly threw four silver needles into the room, and the four beggars stopped instantly.

Shi Baojin shrank back in horror. After getting rid of the beggars’ hands, she was naked and wanted to take back the prison clothes which had been thrown on the floor and put them on, but a guard got the order and picked up her clothes in advance.

“No. Give them back to me. Give the clothes back to me!” Shi Baojin was ashamed but could only grab that guard’s trousers and beg miserably.

The guard lifted her clothes and tried to take back his leg, but it was held by Shi Baojin and he couldn’t move, so he had to turn to Mo Junyang for help. He was afraid that he would kick her to death at one blow.

Mo Junyang said indifferently, “Give her a coat, in case it offends the eye.”

Shi Baojin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the first sentence and thought that Mo Junyang felt pity for her, but the next sentence kicked her to hell, and she was more ashamed than before.

Right. This King Rui’s heir loved her cousin and never took her into account.

A rough men’s coat fell from the sky and covered Shi Baojin from head to toe. It concealed the ferocious expression flashing in her eyes.

She took a deep breath and raised her head, as if she finally made a decision. Then she looked at Mo Junyang pitifully and hopelessly. “I didn’t want to, but Prince Junjiu forced me. He said if I didn’t help him poison Shi Qingxue, he would kill me like he burnt the other members of the Zhao Family to death. I had no choice. I never want her to die…”

Shi Baojin’s voice was sad and she tried to make her a pathetic victim who was forced.

But after she babbled and performed for a while, she found that Mo Junyang’s eyes were not on her. He looked at the worn-out clothes in the guard’s hand and didn’t listen to her.

Till the guard put down her clothes and shook his head at him, Mo Junyang turned to Shi Baojin again and his eyes was distant. “Have you done?”

Shi Baojin was unable to reply. If her life were not under control of him, she would jump out and curse him.

But the reality was that she nodded obediently and said in all sincerity and seriousness, “Everything was His Highness’s plan.”

Mo Junyang curled up his lips and seemed to believe her words. Then he asked, “Why would he do that?”

“In fact, His Highness didn’t want to take Qingxue’s life. He knows that you love her, so he wanted to threaten you with her life and make you work for him.” Shi Baojin got more confident and sued Mo Junjiu more excitedly.

The cause and effect were logical.

Mo Junyang’s dark eyes seemed to be lightened all of a sudden and he asked, “So Mo Junjiu has the antidote to the Lethal Seven?”

Shi Baojin nodded in a hurry. “His Highness gave me the poison, and he must have the antidote.”

“Where is the leftover poison?”

“No. I don’t have any left.” Shi Baojin replied in an instant. It seemed that she was afraid that she would offend Mo Junyang, and she explained hurriedly, “His Highness gave me only three needles with poison and I threw all of them out, and Qingxue was pushed by that maid, so not all of them hit her…”

She wanted to defend herself more, but Mo Junyang’s cold eyes told her that she’d better not talk too much at this moment.

At the same time, Wei Ziye ran over in haste and then whispered in Mo Junyang’s ear.

Mo Junyang’s eyes fixed and he asked in a deep voice, “Are you sure?”

“There must be nothing wrong. I interrogated them with torture respectively and they told the same story.” Wei Ziye answered cautiously.
