"I heard that Father Emperor has a Nirvana Tub; it seems quite fun. How about you borrow it for this Crown Princess to let the prince play with it?"
If Madam Luo hadn't been tied there, she would have collapsed to the ground by now.
At this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of regret and fear.
Normally, she only heard people say that the Little Crown Princess was not to be trifled with, but only by daring to provoke her herself could she understand how those unfortunate souls must have felt.
She regretted it, regretted that she shouldn't have taken on this task today, pressured by her mother-in-law.
She never expected that as soon as Prince Jialu began to provoke, he would be suppressed by the Crown Princess with thunderous force and beatings. His current pathetic state was simply horrifying.
"Reporting to the Crown Princess, the common punishment is caning," an Imperial Forest Guard said with clasped fists. "If we escalate the punishment, we can start with severing fingers, cutting off hands, or chopping off feet. Which one does the Crown Princess prefer?"
Young Master Qin couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This Imperial Forest Guard was quite amusing, even saying "which one does the Crown Princess prefer." Did he think this was cooking?
The Little Crown Princess glanced at the sweating Prince Jialu. "Then let's start with severing a finger!"
Prince Jialu's face turned pale, and he yelled angrily, "What are you doing? Are you trying to extort a confession through torture?"
The Little Crown Princess shook her head expressionlessly. "I just want to beat you until you confess; I don't want to extort a confession through torture."
Prince Jialu was about to blabber on, but the Imperial Forest Guards didn't bother to argue with him. They directly pulled out a small, palm-wide bamboo board with a slender nail on it, glinting terribly in the sunlight.
The Imperial Forest Guard's hand had just lifted and hadn't yet fallen, when Prince Jialu began to shriek, dripping with cold sweat.
He spoke at an extremely fast pace, "I want to compete with you in archery. If you win, I'll tell you everything. If you lose, you have to let this prince go! Otherwise, even if you beat me to death, I won't say anything."
"Then you can just die." This fool was quite persistent about the archery competition; it seemed he was quite confident in his archery skills.
"Send people to guard outside the Mu Family Garden. If anyone dares to trespass, kill them." Qiao Mu coldly issued an order, and immediately dozens of figures flew out from the shadows, rushing towards the outside of the garden.
At this, the members of the Barbarian Gang Tribe all broke out in cold sweat.
They finally realized that in Shenzhou, being arrogant with this young girl was completely unwise. Beside the little stoic, who knows how many hidden guards were lurking.
Qiao Mu turned to look at Jialu, who was profusely sweating. "Your people can't get in. Stalling for time is just wasting both our time."
She looked at the poor wretch with a faint expression. "Fine, it's still early. I'll fulfill your last wish before you die."
"This Crown Princess can compete with you in archery, but the rules will be according to mine."
A moment later, Prince Jialu's shoulders were finally released. Rubbing his aching arms, Jialu moved his shoulders slightly. When his gaze shifted forward, he couldn't help but constrict his pupils.
The target had been moved to the entrance of the courtyard, a full eight hundred meters from the front of Yale Tower to the target.
Prince Jialu's eyes were covered with a black cloth. He could only spread his spiritual sense to perceive Madam Luo, who was chattering her teeth in fear, eight hundred meters away.
Madam Luo truly felt like dying at this moment.
She was tied to the target stand, with a small, green apple placed on her head.
