Chapter 9 Torturing

He didn't even address her as Tang Yingying. Instead, he replaced Tang Yingying with "she".

"You said you have nothing to do with King Jin, didn't you?"

Mo Chen took the whip from the guard and whipped her hard. He asked, "Tell me, what else did you tell King Jin?"

Tang Yingying, who was already seriously injured, was knocked unconscious.

Seeing this, Mo Chen said fiercely, "Wake her up with salt water!"

The guard carried a bucket of salt water and poured it all over Tang Yingying without any pity.

"Ah!"

The pain of the salt corroding her wounds made Tang Yingying scream.

A pool of blood had accumulated on the ground.

Her vision was blurred, and her ears were buzzing. She looked at Mo Chen weakly and said, "I, I have nothing to do with King Jin."

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Mo Chen suddenly came up with an idea. He said, "Lock her up."

The two guards threw the unconscious Tang Yingying back into the desolate courtyard.

"Princess!"

Xiaomei was so frightened, rushed to Tang Yingying and cried, "My Lady, My Lady, wake up."

"Why is His Royal Highness so cruel as to torture you a woman like this?"

She immediately carried Tang Yingying, who was lying on the ground, on her back with great effort and put her on the bed.

Then, she fetched some hot water and wiped Tang Yingying gently.

But when Xiaomei saw that there was not a single good spot on Tang Yingying, she covered her mouth and cried.

Xiaomei saw that Tang Yingying was trembling in pain after she finished wiping with trembling hands. She wanted to get some medicine for Tang Yingying.

However, the guards at the gate of the courtyard warned her not to go out.

"But Her Royal Highness is seriously injured and must be treated." She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

The guard remained unmoved and did not allow Xiaomei to go out no matter what she said. It would be best if that woman died. After all, she plotted the Substitute Marriage and stole the secrets. It was disgusting to just look at her.

Xiaomei knelt on the ground, crying and begging, "Please, I beg you. She is still the Princess anyway."

"I just want to bring some medicine for Her Royal Highness's injury. Please..."

The guard looked impatient and kicked Xiaomei to the ground. "Get lost! If you don't get lost now, I'll kill you."

Xiaomei didn't give up and kept kowtowing to the guard. It was Princess who saved her life. She had to save the Princess.

The guard, who had been irritated, gave Xiaomei a good beating. "If you die, no one will take care of that vicious woman."

Hearing this, Xiaomei gave up risking her life to get the medicine and hurried back to the room.

She happened to see Tang Yingying suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah! Princess!"

She rushed over in a hurry, only to see Tang Yingying keeping vomiting blood. She was scared out of her wits. "My Lady, My Lady, wake up, wake up..."

What should she do? If it went on like this, the Princess could die from vomiting blood.

However, she couldn't get out and the Prince Regent wouldn't send the medicine here.

"Help! Help! Someone please save Her Royal Highness! Is there anyone who can save Her Royal Highness..."

Xiaomei kept shouting for help. She was at a loss and panicked. She hated herself for being unable to help the Princess.

Was there anyone who could save the Princess?

Xiaomei didn't know if it was because her praying worked or because Tang Yingying was destined not to die now,

King Jin barged in.

"You shouldn't have come here, King Jin!"

King Jin shoved away the guard who failed to stop him.

King Jin hurried to the bed with a doctor and ordered the doctor anxiously and worriedly, "Hurry up, treat the Princess Regent's wounds. Save the Princess Regent at any cost!"

The doctor immediately stepped forward to treat Tang Yingying.

King Jin was both anxious and angry. "Prince Regent has gone too far. He has injured Tang Yingying so badly. Tang Yingying is his legitimate wife anyway."

"King Jin really pitied Tang Yingying." At this time, Mo Chen strode in with coldness.

King Jin was a little afraid of the furious and cruel man. He subconsciously took a few steps back and his expression froze. "Your Royal Highness, as you know, I have always been protective of women."

"No matter what happened, Tang Yingying is your wife. Your Royal Highness, you shouldn't have treated her like this."

Mo Chen glanced at him coldly.

With just one glance, King Jin felt a chill run down his spine, up to the top of his head. He shivered in the cold and said, "Your Royal Highness, if this matter blows up and her family find out about it, it will not be good for the court."

Mo Chen snorted and looked at him disdainfully. He said, "Who are you to tell me what to do?"

King Jin repeated himself that he did not dare to do that. A hint of darkness appeared in his eyes. This man's aura was getting more and more terrifying, and his methods were getting crueler and crueler.

Mo Chen walked to the chair and sat down. He knocked on the armrest of the chair twice and said, "King Jin. You and your man, get lost!"

How could King Jin be willing to let go of this opportunity? He suppressed his fear and sighed, saying, "Your Royal Highness, I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction with Tang Yingying, but this is a human life after all."

He kowtowed to Mo Chen and added, "Please allow the doctor to treat Tang Yingying, Your Royal Highness."

Mo Chen's eyes darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "You just can't understand my words, right?"

Gritting his teeth, King Jin kowtowed to Mo Chen again. "Your Royal Highness, you have to help Tang Yingying with..."

"Throw him out!"

As soon as Mo Chen gave the order, two secret guards appeared and threw King Jin and the doctor out rudely, as well as the things that King Jin had brought.

Mo Chen strolled to the bedside and ignored Xiaomei, who was shivering. He stared at Tang Yingying coldly and said, "You're really something."

Tang Yingying was in a coma and her brows were furrowed tightly. Her face turned even paler.

Mo Chen became more disgusted with this hypocritical and vicious woman in bed.

Suddenly, there was a bark of a dog, accompanied by the sound of an old man.

"Don't bite the hem of my clothes, Dahua. Don't drag me forward, okay?"

Mo Chen turned his head and saw Dahua biting the clothes of the doctor in the residence and dragging him in.

When the man and the dog saw the Prince Regent, the man quickly bowed, and the dog lay prone on the ground and covered its head with its forefeet.

Mo Chen stepped forward and kicked Dahua gently. He snorted softly and said in an emotionless voice, "You heartless dog."

"I'm so good to you. You never help me with anything. Instead, you're always helping that woman."

Dahua wagged its tail hard, put its forefeet on Mo Chen's feet and barked at him happily.

Mo Chen glanced at the doctor.

The doctor bent down and walked to the bed to diagnose Tang Yingying's condition. The Prince Regent didn't really want to save the Princess.

He didn't know if it was good or bad that the Princess was alive.

The doctor's diagnosis is that Tang Yingying had injured her internal organs. She had to be nursed well, or she would have a lingering illness in the future.

Mo Chen didn't care about that. He asked the doctor to treat Tang Yingying and keep her alive.

With the medicine prescribed by the doctor, at least Tang Yingying was saved and Xiaomei felt much more at ease.

Just in case, Xiaomei stayed up all night to take care of Tang Yingying.

Finally, at dawn, she saw Tang Yingying slowly open her eyes.

"My Lady, you're finally awake. I was so worried." She was so happy that she cried. She quickly brought warm water and slowly served it to Tang Yingying.

Tang Yingying hurriedly finished a glass of water. Her voice was a little hoarse and weak as she asked, "What happened while I was in a coma?"

As she spoke, she felt her pulse.

Xiaomei explained in detail what had happened after Tang Yingying fainted.

When Tang Yingying heard that King Jin had kowtowed to Mo Chen for her but had been thrown out with his gifts, she cursed in her heart.

"King Jin has really made a smart move. What a wicked plan!"

"Don't let King Jin see me in the future."

Though confused, Xiaomei agreed obediently.

After confirming her situation, Tang Yingying gritted her teeth in anger. Mo Chen, that cruel man, had beaten her up like this.

If there was western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine...

She inadvertently looked at the lab and found that the space was about ten square meters larger, with a few more western medicines for healing.

It surprised and confused her. How could the space be unlocked?

After thinking for a long time, she still had no clues, so she temporarily put it aside and ordered Xiaomei to get her something to eat.

After Xiaomei left, Tang Yingying quietly took out the diclofenac sodium liniment, Huoxue Tongluo tablets (for promoting blood circulation and relieving pain) and other medicines from the space, and took them.

Although she didn't know how the space expanded, at this critical moment, these medicines could at least save her life.

The problem now was how to solve the matter of her being framed of stealing military secrets as soon as possible.

Just as Tang Yingying was thinking of a solution, King Jin came again with a doctor and several guards.

"Tang Yingying... Your Royal Highness, how are you doing?"

Before Tang Yingying invited him to sit down, King Jin sat down on a stool gracefully and looked at her with concern. "You've suffered a lot."

"His Royal Highness..."

He shook his head and sighed. "Don't worry, I will stand up for you."

"I've brought a doctor with me this time. Let the doctor check your condition carefully."

But Tang Yingying saw no concern in King Jin's eyes. She said indifferently, "Don't bother, King Jin."

"I'm the wife of the Prince Regent, and he will help me with it."

King Jin was little surprised and glanced at Tang Yingying.

The woman in front of him was lying on the bed, and only half of her ugly scarred face could be seen. However, she exuded alienation and coldness, no longer as cowardly and grateful as before.

"Is that Tang Yingying he knew?"

King Jin had a feeling that Tang Yingying would be out of his control. A scheming look flashed across his eyes. "Sorry, I failed to protect you."

A look of self-blame and guilt appeared on his face. "If I had fought for it from His Majesty back then, you would've married me and become my wife."

Tang Yingying only felt sarcastic and disgusted. She said coldly, "Please, King Jin, get out of here as far as you can, okay?"

King Jin looked a little embarrassed, but he seemed to indulge her. "You are being petty again."

"Don't worry, Tang Yingying. I'll definitely get you out of here. Just wait a little longer, okay?"

He suddenly got up and gently tucked her in.

Mo Chen, who had just arrived, saw this scene. He said, "You two are really in love."

With a chill all over his body, he strode over, pulled Tang Yingying off the bed, and threw her hard to the ground.
