Chapter 165 I recognize my husband as my elder brother 25
Although Gu Xinting was rescued, she has had a high fever for the past few days. Her once delicate skin is now covered with scars, including whip wounds, knife wounds, and burns. There is also a word "slave" branded on her chest with an iron brand.
Because these wounds had not been treated with medicine for many days, they had begun to fester and were oozing foul-smelling blood.
The emperor specially sent an imperial physician to treat Gu Xinting.
The maidservant at the side carefully treated Gu Xinting's wounds according to the medicine powder given by the imperial physician, and bandaged them. The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo looked at the shocking wounds on her daughter's body with heartache, sobbing and crying, and kept muttering, "Oh, my poor daughter, you have suffered a great sin."
The Duke of Zhenguo and Gu Chengyuan, father and son, were both taken to prison. The emperor had agreed to have the spies from the Yu Kingdom interrogated by them personally.
But in fact, the owner of Huicui Building has already confessed everything that needs to be confessed, and now they just want to die quickly.
But how could the father and son of the Gu family do as they wish? They were so sad about Gu Xinting, so Duke Zhenguo and Gu Chengyuan would naturally take revenge on them severely.
Gu Chengyuan looked at the men with a cold gaze, took a thin knife beside him, walked up to the shopkeeper, gently rubbed the knife against his cheek, and said ruthlessly, "Want to die quickly? Haha, how is that possible? If you dare to touch anyone from the Zhenguo Mansion, I will cut off your flesh piece by piece, just like slicing roast duck in your Huicui Building."
Gu Chengyuan's words made the shopkeeper feel cold and tremble uncontrollably. He wanted to beg for mercy, but during the interrogation a few days ago, his teeth had been knocked out and only a few were left. His mouth was so swollen that he couldn't open it. He could only scream and beg for mercy incoherently.
But Gu Chengyuan didn't care how scared he was. When he thought that all this was directed by that woman Hong Yanshan, he hated her so much that he wanted to kill someone. Although his reason told him that he should get rid of those people quickly, go back to the mining city, forge a batch of weapons, lead the army to attack Yu Kingdom, and kill that vicious bitch Hong Yanshan.
But now when he thought of the horrific wounds on Gu Xinting's body when he found her, with not a single piece of intact skin, he wished they would live a life worse than death and wanted to grind these beasts to ashes.
The shopkeeper was still screaming for mercy, but Gu Chengyuan's eyes flashed and he stabbed a knife into his flesh. The shopkeeper was so painful that he was speechless, but he did not stop. He cut off a piece of meat with his knife and it fell to the ground.
The spies nearby were all terrified. They didn't expect that Gu Chengyuan was not just talking, but really wanted to cut off their flesh piece by piece.
As Gu Chengyuan raised his knife again, another piece of meat was cut off. The shopkeeper's face turned pale with pain, and his forehead was covered with sweat. Then there was the sound of the knife piercing into the flesh, and then the sound of a piece of meat falling to the ground.
Gu Chengyuan continued, as if he wanted to shave the shopkeeper into a skeleton.
The Duke of Zhenguo was not idle either. He took out the salt water that had been prepared and poured it on the remaining people. The wounds on their bodies left by the previous torture came into contact with the salt water, and heart-wrenching pain instantly swept through their bodies. They screamed in an instant, and their screams were no less loud than the shopkeeper who was sliced by Gu Chengyuan.
The Duke of Zhenguo turned around and picked up a small knife from the side. He walked towards one of them and started slicing the flesh, imitating his son's example. Screams of fear, terror and pain rang out in the cell.
Soon the shopkeeper could not bear the pain and died from excessive blood loss.
Gu Chengyuan walked towards the next person with an expression as if he was looking at a dead person. The man fainted from fear, but soon woke up from the pain.
Just like this, a whole morning passed, and those Yu Kingdom spies in Huicui Building were all killed by the Duke of Zhenguo and Gu Chengyuan in this cruel way.
The situation in the prison was extremely cruel and bloody. Several prison guards who were in charge of the prison came in to clean up. They were frightened by the bloody scene of minced meat and blood on the ground. They screamed in fear and then ran outside, vomiting continuously.
The scene inside the prison was enough to make these jailers unforgettable for the rest of their lives. The horror of the scene made them unable to eat when they returned home, and they were even so frightened that they had nightmares for several days in a row.
Si Ying, who had foresight, took a quick look when Gu Chengyuan was torturing the shopkeeper, and then she decisively asked Tuan Tuan to close the screen.
So in the end she didn't see the disgusting and bloody scene. She was not afraid. She just didn't want to be unable to eat lunch and affect her appetite.
The people who killed the original owner in the previous life finally died, and the original owner's revenge was half avenged. Si Ying was in a very good mood and her appetite increased. She even ate half a bowl of rice and drank a large bowl of chicken soup at noon.
Patting her slightly round belly, she decided to eat and drink her fill before taking a nap.
In the afternoon, after Gu Chengyuan and the Duke of Zhenguo dealt with the blood stains on their bodies and took a bath and changed clothes outside, they returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. As if nothing had happened, they went to visit Gu Xinting with concern.
Her whole body was wrapped up, but she still had a high fever and was unconscious.
The wounds all over her body had become inflamed and festered. The imperial physician prescribed some medicine and asked the servants to boil it and feed her.
When the Duke of Zhenguo and his son saw the imperial physician, they hurriedly asked, "Doctor Song, how is our daughter?" the Duke of Zhenguo asked anxiously.
"Yes, Doctor Song, how long will it take for my sister Ting'er to wake up?" Gu Chengyuan also spoke anxiously.
Doctor Song shook his head and said, "Duke Zhenguo, General Gu, I have tried my best. Your daughter's wound has been inflamed for many days and has become seriously festered. Although it has been treated, she was too seriously injured and the wound has been delayed for too long. I will prescribe three doses of medicine for her. She will take one dose every hour. As for whether she can wake up, it depends on whether she can make it tonight. Alas~"
Doctor Song shook his head and sighed, picked up the medicine box, left the inner room, went to the outer room, and began to write a prescription.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo also hurried forward and waited for Doctor Song to finish writing the prescription so that she could send someone to get the medicine quickly, fearing that if she delayed for even a minute longer, her daughter's life would be in danger.
She was so anxious that she didn't even have time to stop and ask the Duke of Zhenguo and his son how they had dealt with those spies from the Yu Kingdom. She no longer had time to care about that.
At night, Si Ying also sent someone to prepare ginseng and black chicken soup for the Duke Zhenguo and his wife and Gu Chengyuan who were guarding Gu Xinting.
Several people looked worried. Three doses of medicine had been taken, but Gu Xinting still had no reaction.
Si Ying brought the ginseng soup to the three people. They had not eaten much in the afternoon and had no appetite at all. Si Ying showed concern and comforted them, asking them to eat something to replenish their strength and take care of their health.
If it were any other time, seeing Lady Si Ying, the Duke of Zhenguo, she would have started speaking in a sarcastic tone.
Now, with her swollen eyes, she stared at Gu Xinting lying on the bed. She no longer had the energy to find fault with Si Ying.
