Seeing Yue Mingxuan's persistence, the Emperor sighed and was about to speak when he noticed the palace attendant who had spoken first collapse to the ground and trembling like a sieve.
The Emperor then said, "The torture chamber cannot handle everyone at once, so we'll proceed one by one..." He pointed to the collapsed palace attendant and continued, "Since she spoke first earlier, let's begin with her."
When that palace attendant saw the Emperor's finger point at her, she was so terrified she couldn't even form a complete sentence, stammering, "Your Your Your..."
Yue Mingxuan let out a soft laugh beside her and said, "Are you calling for Imperial Consort Zhou to save you? That's right, at a time like this, no one but her can save you."
His voice was very low and audible only to the three kneeling figures.
