Chapter 725 Sister, Save MeChapter 34: The Ultimate Punishment Awaits

Li Chen laughed instead of getting angry.

He walked before Zhao Zeyou and said lightly, "Whether you admit it or deny it, this palace does not care."

"Don't think that remaining silent can lead to a quick and painless death. You should be very clear that there are many ways in this world that make it difficult to even die."

Zhao Ze You, upon hearing this, looked at Li Chen with cold eyes, seeming to mock him.

"What about his family" Li Chen asked.

Before Chen Tong could speak, Zhao Ze You sneered and said, “Don’t waste your effort. My wife and daughter died several years ago. I am alone. If you want to talk about destroying my clan, now that there are some relatives left in my family, I don’t even recognize them. You can’t threaten me with them.”

"Good, the bone is hard enough, this palace likes it."

Li Chen nodded and beckoned to Chen Tong.

"Go, fetch ten silver needles, a jar of honey, and a hive of bees."

Chen Tong was taken aback. Could it be that this prince also understood the use of torture

Without further consideration, Chen Tong immediately sent someone to procure the items Li Chen had mentioned.

Although the bees wasted a bit of time, everything was quickly prepared by the Dongchang Jinyiwei and delivered to Li Chen.

"Drag this scoundrel out to the palace courtyard and have him punished, lest he defile my Hall of Governance."

Li Chen said, walked out of the palace hall, and watched Zhao Ze You being dragged to the courtyard outside the hall like a dead dog by two guards in embroidered uniforms.

Chen Tong proactively brought over a chair for Li Chen to sit down.

Li Chen was about to order someone to carry out the punishment, but then he heard a voice, "Your Highness," and turning his head, he saw Zhao Rui holding a cloak.

"How did you get here" Li Chen asked.

When night fell and the dew grew heavy, a chill permeated the air. The Crown Prince donned this cloak.

Zhao Rui kindly put the cloak on Li Chen, then cast a curious glance at Zhao Ze You and asked, "Your Highness, what's the reason for this"

"Let's play a game. Since you're here, why not join in"

Li Chen waved his hand and said, “First, insert ten silver needles into the fingernails. Then, flip the nail covers over, pour in some honey, and put the nail covers back on. Release the bees. Those bees will smell the honey and swarm into their fingernails crazily. However, the gaps are too small for the bees to enter, so they will use their stingers instead. That's a truly pleasurable sensation.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rui's face turned pale with fear. She deeply regretted coming into this mess in the first place. Just thinking about this scene was terrifying; if she actually saw it, she wouldn't be able to sleep for several nights.

While Chen Tong's eyes lit up, he thought the Crown Prince was incredibly talented. Such a tactic would be unbearable for most people. He decided to jot it down and include it in the Dongchang punishments, using it effectively.

Of course, Zhao Ze You reacted the most intensely.

He struggled wildly and roared, "Li Chen! If you have the guts, give me a quick death! What kind of cowardly trick is this!"

When first named, Li Chen let out a cold smile and watched as the Jinyiwei walked up to Zhao Ze you with their tools.

Two Jinyiwei guards, one pressed down on Zhao Ze You's palm, forcing his fingers to spread open, the other grinning as he took out a silver needle and plunged it into the underside of Zhao Ze You's thumbnail.

"Ahhhh!!!!!"

Extreme pain caused Zhao Ze You to let out a scream of agony that reached its peak.

Being pricked by a needle in the fingernail, this excruciating pain was something no ordinary person could bear. Coupled with a swarm of bees burrowing into him through the honey-like sensation, Zhao Ze You was tortured to madness by the pain and frantically struggled.

The hemp rope tightened around him, but because of his desperate struggle, the finger-thick rope actually cut into his flesh.

Before this set of punishments was complete, Zhao Zeyou had already fainted twice, but each time he was revived with water.

If it's done and the goal has been achieved, then that's enough.

But Li Chen seemed as if he hadn't had enough fun yet, shaking his head and saying, "No, this palace doesn't want to hear it now."it become your place to interrupt, woman Don't you know your place as Cheng Fuzhao's wife"Li Chen suddenly shouted a question, leaving He Qian speechless.Cheng Fuzhao tried to speak, but Li Chen rudel...
