The Princess Wei Yang Chapter 127 - Part 1
July 16, 2020Chapter 127: Cruel Punishment
[Graphic warning for gory details of torture.]
[1] A concubine third in ranking after the Princess Consort and Side (Secondary) Consort
The Crown Prince had especially set up more than a dozen guest rooms for the injured guests to be treated. They were not ordinary people, so the entire Imperial Physician Court was dispatched. Among them was Imperial Physician Wang who often came and treated the Li family, so he was familiar with them. No need for Li Wei Yang’s orders, he had gone ahead to examine Li Min De.
Li Wei Yang stood outside the door, her body feeling chills at times then feverish the next. She quietly watched as everyone ran back and forth, occasionally hearing an ear splitting scream. She should go inside, but at this moment, she wished the cold wind would blow her back to her senses!
At that time, Jiang Yue Lan and Li Chang Xiao went to visit the Side Consort, who is currently pregnant, so they were not in the garden and fortunately avoided disaster. At the same time, the Crown Prince had Tuoba Zhen and many guards by his side, so he was perfectly fine. The most tragic victims were the defenseless noble ladies, the young misses as delicate as flowers and jade.
This was originally the Crown Princess’s birthday banquet. The majority of attendees were pampered young misses of large, influential families. It could be said that they were doted on and spoiled to no end. On any typical day, they did not leave their homes through the front door, nor sneak out the back. They did not even have the strength to run away when they encountered the assassins. A total of twelve people died.
The Crown Prince saw the tragic situation and couldn’t help but grieve in his heart. He quickly ordered individuals to go announce the funerals to each household and arranged for survivors to rest in the guest rooms.
Li Wei Yang coldly looked at this scene, her mind racing. Once the Crown Prince settled the wounded, he personally entered the palace to report everything to His Majesty. Not only had the assassins entered the Crown Prince’s residence in broad daylight and killed indiscriminately, they also claimed to kill a rebel. A rebel, who is rebelling? The Crown Prince?
This was the Crown Princess’s birthday banquet. The vast majority of attendees were aristocratic ladies, but why were they massacred too? It was as if they killed to stir up hatred and grudges.
“Were you frightened?” A sudden voice interrupted her thoughts.
Li Wei Yang turned and saw that the person in front of her had changed into a moon-white brocade robe with a belt adorned with eight, precious and glazed jade ornaments. His brows were sharp as swords, with a radiant, jade-like face—it was none other than Tuoba Zhen himself!
“I was covered in blood. I was afraid I’d frighten you, so I changed my clothes.” Tuoba Zhen explained.
Li Wei Yang looked at him coldly without saying a word.
"I told you to hide in the rockery just now because that yatou brought the assassins." Tuoba immediately spoke after seeing her remain silent.
Who could stand the bloody scene of people being cut in half by swords, blood splattering everywhere. Li Wei Yang said nothing about it. The terrible things she witnessed in the Cold Palace surpassed that. Zhao Yue had received rigorous training, but what about Bai Zhi? Although she had witnessed murder before, she had been psychologically prepared. This time, not even Li Wei Yang could stand the brutal scene, it left her involuntarily shaking, and now Tuoba Zhen had the audacity to put the blame of drawing in the assassins on a yatou.
Tuoba Zhen looked at her pale face and unexpectedly yet softly said: "I will find out who did this good deed."
Tuoba Zhen’s personality is quite similar to the reigning Emperor. The rain that was drizzling in that moment before could suddenly become a thunderous rage. The sight of him humbling himself, as if he genuinely cared, would make anyone else feel blissfully happy. Li Wei Yang remained silent for a while before responding with a question: “I heard Fifth Princess Consort Wu Yue Ling is safe and sound and even protected a few other women.”
Tuoba Zhen paused and nodded: "It’s true, but I think this matter is quite strange. Those assassins kill anyone they see, so how could they let her be? Isn’t this strange?"
Li Wei Yang stared into his eyes and lightly said: "Your Royal Highness wants to say that this matter has something to do with the Fifth Prince Tuoba Rui.”
Tuoba Zhen slowly said: "This...naturally, we need to further investigate. In any case, the Crown Princess unfortunately perished, the Crown Prince disheartened, and moreover, quite a few people died. Therefore, this must be carefully investigated.”
Li Wei Yang stared at him intently. Her gaze bore into him as if she understood everything, making Tuoba Zhen almost unable to look directly at her, but he suppressed it and only said, "You can rest assured, I will arrange for someone to send you back safely."
Li Wei Yang no longer looked at him and coldly said, "No need." Then, she went over in the direction of the guest room, where Imperial Physician Wang was treating Li Min De.
Tuoba Zhen watched her turn away, dumbstruck. He was just in the flower garden and was met with the faces of aristocratic young ladies. There was not one person who wasn’t crying and smiling, lucky survivors who even took initiative to find ways to comfort and shelter him, but Li Wei Yang was different. Tuoba Zhen felt a bitter and sour feeling rise in his heart. He could not say what it was that he felt exactly, but he could not help but extend a hand. Before he could say anything, Li Wei Yang turned back: “There’s one more thing I would like to ask about.”
Tuoba Zhen’s face slightly contorted. He took a deep breath: "Say it."
Li Wei Yang looked at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Have you seen the members of the Jiang family since the accident? Are they hurt?”
Tuoba Zhen’s breaths became uneven, but he quietly said. "The women of the Jiang family and your mother, as well as your Fourth Sister, were with Shu Consort Jiang[1], so they are safe and sound.”
Li Wei Yang had a faint, somber trace on her face and softly mumbled: "So that’s how it is."
At that moment, Tuoba Zhen thought she had seen through everything, but Li Wei Yang’s expressions were strangely calm. She turned and entered the guest room without a second look back.
In the room, Imperial Physician Wang frowned as he examined the wound on Li Min De’s chest. The arrow had pierced him from front to back. Imperial Physician Wang was frightened by just the sight of it and was genuinely at a loss. How could he bear it?
Li Wei Yang asked Imperial Physician Wang, "How is he?"
Imperial Physician Wang sighed, "The iron arrow has been pulled out, but there was poison on the arrowhead. Removing the poison is not something that can be done overnight, I’m afraid he won’t make it until then—”
Li Wei Yang stiffened and lowered her voice, "He can! He will be able to make it through!"
Imperial Physician Wang nodded and cautiously said, "It’s just this wound is too severe, even I don’t have enough confidence."
The wound was a bit off and fortunately did not pierce the heart, but faced with an unknown poison, it was really hard to say.
Li Weiyang looked at the unconscious Li Min De. A cold gleam gradually consumed her eyes like a terrifying flame burning through the ice: “I know how to save him.”
Although Imperial Physician Wang said the patient was not allowed to be moved, Li Wei Yang insisted on taking Li Min De back to the Li residence. Others saw that she was so obstinate, but they were helpless. Zhao Yue was also injured, only on the shoulder and although not severely, Zhao Nan became the person in charge of the main guard. As soon as she got onto the carriage, Li Wei Yang told Zhao Nan: “The Jiangs’ route home must be obstructed. Force them to go through Yong Hua Gate. After that, you all will change your clothes and ambush them at Yong Hua Gate. No matter what you do, bring people back to me!”
Zhao Nan said: “Your subordinate understands what Xiaojie means, but it is difficult to avoid confrontation, which will inevitably attract outsiders.”
Li Wei Yang smiled indifferently. The mercilessness in her eyes could not be put to words: "Jiang Hua and the others must remain in the Crown Prince’s residence and help them clean up the mess. I only need the masters of the Jiang family. Any of them will do! Of course, there is a way to not alert outsiders. When spooked horses run wild, one or two people might go missing, isn’t this quite simple?”
Zhao Nan was surprised for a moment, then realized that Li Wei Yang was not joking and immediately looked down: "Yes, it will be arranged immediately."
"This is all for your Master’s life, there’s no room for mistakes!" Li Wei Yang emphasized every word.
Zhao Nan was extremely efficient and thoroughly understood Li Wei Yang’s intentions. Half an hour later, Jiang Tian was tied up in the Li residence dungeon. When it comes to the Li family dungeon, it has been uninhabited for over a decade. There was dust everywhere and rats on the ground. It was truly disgusting. However, Li Wei Yang chose to hold Jiang Tian here like the last time.
Jiang Tian was shouting: "Li Wei Yang, you little bitch, you kidnapped me again!" He was confined in the Jiang residence for some time. Unable to bear it, he took advantage of the residence’s busy affairs today to sneak out. Who knew that the moment he walked out, he was intercepted by someone. Once was one thing, but being to be kidnapped twice, wouldn’t that mean he, Jiang Tian, was good for nothing?!
At this time, he only heard a click from the cell door, then Li Wei Yang walked slowly down the steps. There was blood on her soft dress, revealing that she had yet to change out of her clothes after returning to the residence. There was no light in the dungeon, but a torch was lit. The flames light up her jade-like face, and the cold, dark eyes bleak as an ancient well.
As soon as Jiang Tian looked up, Li Wei Yang’s dark eyes fell on him like an arrow.
"As long as you treat my master, we will let you go." Zhao Nan said coldly.
Jiang Tian laughed loudly and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"
"My master was injured at the Crown Princess’ birthday banquet and was poisoned." Although Zhao Nan was impatient, he had to clearly state the situation.
Jiang Tian laughed: "He deserves it! It's a shame, why aren’t you the person dying, Li Wei Yang?! In any case, with fewer people to protect you, your death will come swiftly!”
After being disciplined by the Jiang Third Young Master, Jiang Fifth’s courage fattened up. He knew that Li Wei Yang would not kill him because they approached him first, which was an indication that Li Min De’s injury was not ordinary, and only he could save him! If Li Wei Yang killed him, Li Min De would have to be buried with him, but he would not save this person no matter what Li Wei Yang did. He only needed to endure!
Zhao Nan was furious. He lifted his leg and kicked him down, seized him by the collar and slapped him more than a dozen times. Jiang Tian clenched his teeth from the pain but did not make a sound and only glared back at him. Zhao Nan furiously concentrated all of his strength into a kick to Jiang Tian’s chest.
Li Wei Yang suddenly spoke up and said, "Bring him in."
Jiang Tian’s eyes widened as he watched his Eldest Brother Jiang Hai being forced in. Jiang Hai was in a sorry state with his head down, covered in dust. Even one of his arms seemed to have been broken, leaving him with a strange posture.
"You—! How dare you!" Jiang Tian was furious. Jiang Hai escorted Jiang Da Furen and Er Furen to the banquet. Of course, there was also Jiang Hua, the third son of the Jiang family.
In reality, Li Wei Yang originally intended for Zhao Nan to abduct the women of the Jiang family. Unfortunately, Jiang Hua stayed back in the Crown Prince’s residence, so he was very careful to let Jiang Hai escort them back. Halfway there, Zhao Nan’s people and the Jiangs’ guards fought. Zhao Nan had seized the reins of Jiang Da Furen’s carriage, but Jiang Hai unexpectedly stopped him. As a last resort, Zhao Nan ordered everyone to attack Jiang Hai and forcibly brought him back.
In regards to this, this was an accident, but to Li Wei Yang, whether they captured the two Jiang Furens or Jiang Hai, it achieved the same effect.
"You wouldn’t dare kill my brother! You definitely wouldn’t dare!" Jiang Tian furiously glared at Li Wei Yang. He remembered that his Third Brother once said that Li Wei Yang was just bluffing, she would not dare to use torture!
“The Jiangs have many enemies, who knows who took this into their own hands?” Li Wei Yang sighed. She spoke calmly, but only she knew that her heart was burning nonstop. If she wasn’t forced to hold back, the heads of the Jiang brothers would have fallen already!
“They will find out! They will find out! Eldest Uncle and Third Brother will definitely come here!” Jiang Tian immediately cried out.
Li Wei Yang’s lips curved and said, "When they come, your bones will have become gray ashes. What can be found?"
Jiang Tian's face became even uglier. He could not believe it. Li Wei Yang actually dared to do such a thing! "You think the Capital is a place where you can do as you please! There is still the Emperor, Imperial Guards, and you went to kidnap—"
Li Wei Yang chuckled: "The Imperial Guards? His Majesty? Right now, they are busy looking for the assassins that attacked the Crown Prince’s residence. They don’t have the energy to pay attention to you all. The assassins even dared to enter the Crown Prince’s residence. Why would they pay mind to a small, insignificant Jiang family? You can rest assured. I do a very good, clean job. Outsiders will only see this as a revenge case and say the former Minister of Rites of the previous dynasty was also randomly murdered on the side of the road. No murderer was ever found. I am only following suit, so what is there to fear?”
Jiang Tian did not expect Li Wei Yang to be this terrifying and was stunned speechless.
At this point, Jiang Hai who had been beaten unconscious suddenly woke up. When he moved, he felt terrible pain in his arm. He opened his eyes and saw the situation in front of him and could not help sneer: "Li Wei Yang, you want to use my life to threaten my Wu di? You little bitch, we won’t do as you want, and in the end, you will have to send us back unharmed! "
Li Wei Yang heard these confident and arrogant words, but her face did not change and remained blank and frighteningly cold. She lightly asked, "Have you two carefully thought about it?"
Jiang Hai laughed and said: "You little bitch, if you don’t let us go within an hour, my Third Brother will come to your doorstep. What do you think will happen to you then? Think about it!”
Zhao Nan’s face changed and kicked him down hard. Li Wei Yang waved her hand: “Eldest Young Master, someone at the banquet saw the Third Young Master of the Jiang family with a bow and arrows.”
When Jiang Hai's complexion changed, Li Wei Yang continued to watch his face change. At this moment, she slowly exhaled and said, "I understand, I will certainly settle this with him, but— Not now! Right now, I want a doctor to treat Min De. Since you are so stubborn, do not blame me for being impolite.”
Jiang Hai sneered. He had nothing to fear after having seen the terrible means of torture in the army. As long as he endured through the hour, Jiang Hua will receive news of their disappearance, and he will know that they are here. At that time, Li Wei Yang will be met with a dead end! He had confidence in Jiang Hua's methods and scheming, and this will absolutely not go wrong!
Li Wei Yang looked at the Jiang brothers’ indifferent faces and smiled thinly: “The Jiangs took part in this matter. So many people died. Are you happy? As long as you don’t provoke me, I will not do anything, but you are the ones who like to chase after dead ends, so who is to blame? Jiang Hua injured Li Min De, so I will demand a little interest on this debt from you. It’s only fair.”
Jiang Hai was not afraid of anything among the likes of whip, tongs, branding irons, or finger torture irons. In his opinion, they were mere child’s play in the army. He thought Li Wei Yang’s methods were no different. However, Li Wei Yang slowly began to say: “At today’s banquet, Liu Xiaojiie could not run because of her tiny feet, and so, she was killed. That scream is hard to forget. Did you hear it, Jiang Hai?”
Jiang Hai did not know what she was trying to say and just coldly stared at her.
“Her feet are small because men like women to have swaying figures and delicate feet, but they don’t know that women desperately torture themselves to gain men’s favor. I heard Liu Xiaojie still maintained the foot binding tradition of the previous dynasty. Eldest Cousin, I want you to have a taste of this footbinding tradition.”
Zhao Nan did not blink. A long sword had cut Jiang Hai’s left foot in half. Jiang Hai’s scream almost overturned the roof. Li Wei Yang smiled and asked: “Is this already unbearable? Come here, help Eldest Cousin up.”
The guards in black laid a steel needle bed on the ground. They pulled Jiang Hai up and forced him to walk over the steel needles, step by step. Fresh blood flowed, forming long trails. Jiang Hai did not expect Li Wei Yang to be so cruel and cursed her without pausing for a breath. Li Wei Yang smiled, “And the other side?” In the blink of an eye, only half of Jiang Hai’s right foot was left. Jiang Tian heard his family’s eldest brother’s miserable wailing and desperately retreated for his own safety.
Li Wei Yang's smile was like a blooming flower in the dark, secluded and beautiful, with a touch of emotionlessness: "In the Cold Palace, the eunuchs who stood guard at the gates were very bored, so they came up with a very interesting game. They heated up an iron plate and forced Imperial concubines that had fallen out of favor to dance on the iron plate. They even gave it a very poetic name and called it Bu Bu Sheng Lian (Step By Step Lotus)." At that time, her legs had been cut off, so there was no way for her to dance. Those people forced her onto the iron plate, crawling bit by bit. Her entire body was severely burned, and that kind of pain was far more terrible than the fires of hell.
Jiang Tian’s eyes widened as he watched General Jiang Hai who braved the battlefields wailing miserably and involuntarily shaking. Li Wei Yang was not kidding, she was serious! She’s serious! She did not hesitate to kill in order to force him to save a life!
With every terrible cry, it sounded less and less human. His feet had been cut in half, then he was forced to walk on a needle bed, leaving long blood trails. It was such a horrifying scene that even the guards in black holding Jiang Hai down turned pale. Li Wei Yang continued: “You all knew that there were innocent noble ladies at the banquet but still helped the Crown Prince arrange this massacre. You all deserve to die.”
Jiang Tian shouted, "No! We don’t know anything! Let us go! Let go of my Eldest Brother go!"
Li Wei Yang smiled, "You don't know? Then I'll let you know. Only the Jiang family left unscathed today. Ah no, maybe your hypocritical Third Brother will be hurt a bit. The Crown Princess was killed in the Crown Prince residence. Twelve of the noble ladies she invited died. There are others who were critically injured and bedridden, not knowing if they will live or die. That is twenty or thirty people!
“I assume the Emperor will investigate and find out that those assassins are connected to the Fifth Prince. After that, everyone will say: Ah right, why was only the Fifth Princess Consort unharmed and able to protect other ladies? Doesn’t this prove that the Fifth Princess Consort came prepared?
“After that, with more and more evidence, even the Seventh Prince, who isn’t even in the Capital, can be implicated alongside the Fifth Prince. Then, everyone will feel that the two colluded and forged evidence of the Crown Prince’s rebellion. The Fifth Prince faked the Crown Prince’s rebellion in the Capital to draw the bow while the Seventh Prince secretly communicated with Duke Luo to cooperate from outside. Then Duke Jiang will send troops out to kill Tuoba Yu, a rebel, and you, Jiang Tian, will disguise yourself as a physician and bring the antidote that would save countless people. This would win back the Jiang family’s reputation, wouldn’t you say?”
Jiang Tian was completely stunned and looked at Li Weiyang with a horrified expression: "This is ridiculous, you made this all up!"
Li Wei Yang sneered. Yes, this was all nothing but speculation, but now — she was almost certain. She slowly said: "The Fifth Prince has always been a foolish person, so this matter cannot be regarded as an injustice to him. I think the person flicking the reins behind the Crown Prince has grasped the Fifth Prince’s fatal flaw and forced him to act first. You already anticipated the arrival of the assassins, so you cast an open net and waited for him to advance. It can be said that the one who killed so many people is not the Fifth Prince, but those who set the trap!”
Jiang Tian backed away, almost backing into the wall.
Li Wei Yang’s smile had a trace of regret from beginning to end: “Of course, what I said is not entirely accurate. In order to gain the Emperor’s trust, you must have cited a lot of evidence, but who are you doing this for? The Crown Prince or Tuoba Zhen?”
The fear in Jiang Tian’s eyes reached its peak. He did not expect Li Wei Yang would think so much of it, even asked about the key points.
Jiang Hai had almost passed out just now, but he was reined in by sheer willpower. He opened his eyes and managed to bite out: “Little bitch—kill me if you dare!”
Li Weiyang smiled at Jiang Tian: "I said that I would only charge a little interest, and look how anxious your Eldest Brother is." Jiang Tian was so shocked that he couldn't say a word. Li Wei Yang’s smile thinned, and he curled up into a ball.
Such torture is unheard of and never seen before. Jiang Tian swears he never wants to see Li Wei Yang again in this lifetime! He was about to promise to save Li Min De, but Jiang Hai’s crippled figure reared, and he loudly insisted: “You cannot agree! You dare agree—“ He had yet to finish his sentence when Zhao Nan kicked him in the chest.
He was worthy of being a man who braved the battlefield. He was quite tough. Li Wei Yang lowered her head and smiled for a moment, then raised her head and asked: “Are you really not going to save him?”
Jiang Tian found his teeth clattering: "I ...... I ......"
Li Wei Yang heaved a long sigh, "I remember the roast lamb served at the banquet today. It didn’t taste very good, the aroma was a bit strange." She gestured and someone immediately brought over an iron grid. They stripped the bloodied Jiang Hai of his clothes and tied him down to it. Li Wei Yang lowered her gaze, “Not long before Liu Xiaojie died, wide-eyed, she declared that the most delicious thing in this world is the taste of tender, newborn lamb. I’d think so, Jiang Tian, do you think so?”
Jiang Tian didn't know what she was going to do. He just watched in horror, but he didn't realize he had wet himself from fear. Jiang Hai, however, endured the severe pain without a word.
Seeing that Jiang Tian was afraid yet still unwilling, Li Wei Yang sighed, "Go ahead."
Zhao Nan had already been instructed beforehand and began to heat the iron grid. Slowly, Jiang Hai only felt the burning heat rise from his feet. The feet that had already lost all sensation seemed to be able to feel again, but it was an extremely painful sensation. He was about to scream, but he was gagged with a rag.
Jiang Tian looked at the iron frame that cooked his Eldest Brother's flesh bit by bit. Zhao Nan held a large, iron knife and slowly sliced the cooked flesh on Jiang Hai’s thigh and tossed it onto a tray. A gruesome, burnt smell wafted up.
“I know Eldest Cousin is a very heroic person, and he can still bear with this bit of pain.” Li Wei Yang smiled dryly. Jiang Tian fearfully watched Zhao Nan bring the tray to him. He cried out and tried to stop him from coming any closer, but Zhao Nan was getting closer and closer. Jiang Tian stared intently at the pieces of meat, desperately bent over and instinctively hurled. He almost vomited up bile.
Li Wei Yang said, "People say that when fighting tigers, it must be with brothers, and when fighting in battle, it must be father and son. You two have such a good relationship. Naturally, you must eat meat together.”
Jiang Hai prided himself in being a heroic figure. No matter what, no terrible punishment will make him pale, but now, he saw his limbs had become white, protruding bones. Of course, it was very painful. The fear was driving him insane! His eyes rolled back, revealing white as he lost consciousness.
Li Wei Yang smiled gently: “Jiang Tian, there is a limit to my patience. Tell me, do you want—"
Jiang Tian stumbled, throwing himself at her feet: "I’ll save him! I’ll save him! Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!"
Li Wei Yang sighed. Her voice softened as if she was speaking to a lover: "You bear a grudge though. I’m worried you will hurt my loved ones. What should I do now?”
Li Weiyang sighed, and his voice was soft as if he were a lover: "You have hatred, I'm so scared that you hurt my loved ones, what should I do?"
Jiang Tian gritted his teeth: "I'm afraid of death, I will never do that!"
Li Wei Yang smiled and stroked his forehead, "What a good boy."
Jiang Tian flinched. Li Wei Yang said, "Send Physician Jiang to treat him."
Jiang Tian was lifted up to his feet. He put on a tough look on his face and mumbled: "Let… Let my Eldest Brother… Can you..."
Li Wei Yang glanced at him. His heart almost missed a beat, sending him into a panic.
Li Wei Yang gently told him: "I have said that the Jiang family has taken so many lives, so they need to pay a little interest. You can go."
Jiang Tian didn’t dare to say more, afraid he’d anger Li Wei Yang. Her approach was unspeakable. If he said anything more, he was afraid she would not let him keep his life. He had seen Third Brother interrogate prisoners in the army before and felt that he was rather cruel, but Li Wei Yang—she surpassed him, no less. Having fallen into her hands, he was living no better than dead. He began to regret it, deeply regret it, why did he provoke her…
Zhao Nan ordered people to forcibly escort Jiang Tian away to treat Li Min De. Then, he looked over at the unconscious Jiang Hai: "Xiaojie, what about him?"
Li Wei Yang looked at Jiang Hai and smiled wryly: "I heard Eldest Cousin dotes on a certain beauty.”
Zhao Nan did not understand the meaning of Li Wei Yang’s words and only looked at her in confusion. Li Wei Yang sighed: "You don’t need to know. Just follow my instructions."
"Yes."
