Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 838 Daily Torture, a Life Worse Than Death

At this moment, when the Great Khan looked at Mutai, it was as if he were looking at a joke, a loser. All his previous expectations and trust had vanished.

"Lord Mutai, now that we have this to say, do you have anything to say?"

Mu Tai was dizzy all night and only woke up a little in the morning, but he was listless and looked like a frostbitten eggplant.

He opened his mouth, feeling deeply wronged, but unable to refute it.

If he were to tell Khan Zhenyou that Qiao Lian'er appeared out of nowhere and, despite the presence of so many guards, managed to take the person away unnoticed, Khan Zhenyou would see him as deliberately mocking the emperor and committing insubordination.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I don't know what happened," Mu Tai could only say.

He was dejected and looked like a piece of rotten wood.

"I only ask that Your Majesty trust me. I have absolutely no intention of deceiving or disrespecting Your Majesty."

Mayu Khan chuckled and snorted: "Prince Takumi is missing, the gunpowder is gone, and we won't get any other compensation. The money spent on building the gunpowder depot has been wasted. All of this is your doing. Is this your sincerity and attitude?"

"I have set up numerous checkpoints and guards, but Prince Takumi has simply disappeared, and I have no way to explain it."

"Absurd, utterly absurd!" Khan Zhenyou slammed his hand on the armrest of his throne, furious.

"How could a perfectly healthy person just disappear into thin air? I'm afraid you secretly hid them for your own selfish gain, isn't that right?"

The Khan's stern questioning made Mutai tremble.

He quickly lay down on the ground, touching his forehead to the ground and repeatedly kowtowing.

"I am innocent! I am innocent, Your Majesty! When I saw that Prince Tuohai was missing, I was so anxious that I almost vomited blood and died. If Your Majesty gives me another chance, I will definitely make up for this mistake."

"How can you make amends? Can you bring Prince Takumi back as a hostage of the Da Nu Kingdom?"

The person was already in Qiao Lian'er's hands, so Mu Tai certainly couldn't make such a guarantee.

He stammered, "I can atone for my sins by achieving meritorious deeds in other ways."

Khan Zhenyou sneered again, staring at Mutai with a sinister look: "You have disappointed me time and time again. This time, you have caused a deficit in the national treasury and committed a serious crime. I will not let you off easily."

"Guards, lock Mutai up and torture him every day. Remember, don't let him die. I want him to be unable to live and unable to die."

Mu Tai was dragged away, and he finally couldn't help but shout loudly: "It's Qiao Lian'er, it's Princess Qiao Lian'er of Daze. She has special abilities. She knows unorthodox methods and esoteric arts. She can appear and disappear like a ghost and take people away without the sight of any guards."

"Great Khan, it's alright if you imprison or punish me, but you must not let your guard down against Qiao Lian'er. All my setbacks are caused by her because I have a grudge against her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stumbled so many times. The explosion of the Dongfu Kingdom's gunpowder transport ship, and even the fact that the high-quality gunpowder turned into inferior quality, may also be her doing."

Mu Tai was startled when he blurted out the last sentence.

He then realized that it was all Qiao Lian'er's conspiracy from beginning to end.

She secretly used underhanded tactics to cause these changes, turning him and Crown Prince Takumi against each other. Both Crown Prince Takumi and he were completely manipulated by her.

Now, Prince Takumi has fallen into her hands, and he will be imprisoned and tortured every day.

He then thought further that Qiao Lian'er might be right beside him, watching all of this unfold, and he wondered how smug she would be.

Mu Tai's face turned deathly pale, and his whole body trembled.

He stared into the void, as if he could see Qiao Lian'er standing there with a smile on her face.

"Qiao Lian'er, you must be here, watching me make a fool of myself. Do you think I've lost like this? Let me tell you, as long as I have a breath left, there will be a day when I can turn the tables. Don't be too happy too soon."

"You forced me to flee to the Kingdom of Danu, and you have ruined my plans time and time again. You have ruined my life. Even if I become a ghost one day, I will never let you go."

No response.

He's gone mad, Grand Preceptor Mutai has gone mad.

This was the first reaction of Emperor Shin'yū and his ministers.

Where was the shadow of Princess Zhenguo of Daze Kingdom in the imperial court? Mu Tai could not accept his defeat and blamed it on Princess Zhenguo of Daze Kingdom, and even had such a hallucination.

Shinju felt he couldn't bear to look.

In the beginning, Mutai did bring about significant changes to the Danu Kingdom and also brought him surprises.

Originally thought to be a capable person, but unexpectedly, Mu Tai continued to decline until he became a crazy and unruly madman.

"Drag him away quickly." Mayu waved her hand.

Mutai's shouts continued to come.

"If you don't believe me, wait a few days. When Khan Zhenyou sees whether Crown Prince Tuohai is in Daze Kingdom, my grievances will be cleared. At that time, Khan Zhenyou will know that Qiao Lian'er is no ordinary person. If this woman is not eliminated, she will be a menace."

Mayu, with a sullen face, remained silent.

At this moment, the person in charge of the search came to report.

"Your Majesty, we have searched all the places where Lord Mutai might be hiding, but we have not found Prince Takuhai. We have also not seen Prince Takuhai leave any of the checkpoints in the Da Nu Kingdom."

Mayu Khan's face was confused.

If that's the case, where exactly did Prince Takumi go? He couldn't have really just vanished like a drop of water evaporating from the face of the earth, could he?

As for what Mutai said, that Qiao Lian'er took the person away, Khan Zhenyou didn't believe a word of it.

The prison guards have already questioned them, but they haven't seen a single woman.

Qiao Lian'er went to the prison with her.

One torture after another was inflicted on Mu Tai, who screamed in agony and fainted several times. Sweat soaked his hair, and his lips were bitten until they bled.

Qiao Lian'er thoroughly enjoyed watching it; it was very satisfying.

Only after torturing him half to death would the person in charge of the torture stop, kick him away, put down the instruments of torture, and go to eat.

With no one around, Qiao Lian'er removed her invisibility cloak and squatted down in front of Mu Tai.

He picked up a piece of wood and patted his face.

Slap, slap, slap, like beating a dog.

Mu Tai struggled to open his eyes, breathing heavily. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he felt his blood run cold and goosebumps rose all over his body.

After confirming it again and again, he subconsciously wanted to escape and retreat, but he found that he had no strength at all. It was not just because he had been tortured, but because of the instinctive fear that made it feel like every joint of his hands and feet was bound.

"Qiao Lian'er, it's you, it's you."

Qiao Lian'er nodded: "It's me. Haven't you been cursing me? Now I'm right in front of you, so you can curse me to your heart's content."
