My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 1422 - Confession

Chapter 1422: Confession

“Hit!” At the royal guard captain’s order, that whip doused in peppered water lashed the carriage driver’s body until he was battered all over, leaving him better dead than alive.
Only now was Wei Mingli frightened, and her body shook uncontrollably while tied to the post.
She truly was afraid!
That day, when she saw His Highness the Crown Prince driving them out of the Marquis of Jiayuan’s Estate, she should have already known that this crown prince was cold-blooded and merciless. He simply wasn’t to be trifled with.
But there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Before trying, she had thought that she could definitely capture this man’s heart with her good looks and bearing.
It was only after trying did she know that she and His Second Highness were actually so naive!
His Second Highness’s mission simply could not be accomplished!
Because His Highness the Crown Prince was totally heartless, merciless, and frigid to the extreme.
He would not show kindness or be moved just because she, Wei Mingli, was a woman, nor would he be like other men and wallow in her beauty, unable to extricate himself.
So terrifying! Wei Mingli shuddered, subconsciously gulping down her saliva.
By this time, the jailer had already beaten that white and plump man unconscious.
He looked very miserable. The whip had sliced up his white robe into strips that were left hanging on his body. There were lash wounds everywhere: on his face, body, and hands. Right now, there was more air coming out of his body than there was going in.
“Miss, it’s your turn now. Have you decided to confess? Or do you want to be like this man, getting beaten ruthlessly before confessing.” The jailer ogled her well-developed body as he chuckled lasciviously.
Wei Mingli felt her body tense, and a never-before nervousness infected her mind. She fixated helplessly on the whip in the jailer’s hand, and before he could raise it up high, she screeched out loud, “I-I confess, I’ll confess everything.”
“It’s good that you’ll confess.” The royal guard captain put his hands on his hips. He then took the whip from the jailer’s hands and hefted it in his palm. “Speak. Who sent you over to screw with His Highness?”
Wei Mingli shuddered as she stammered, “I-I’ll say it, i-it, it’s the second prince. I am a sing-song girl from the second prince’s estate.”
The royal guard captain was stunned, but then he sniggered. “Do you know where your greatest flaw was?”
“How could someone who drove carriages year in and year out be so white and plump. Let alone His Highness who won’t believe you, even me with my level of discernment can notice something fishy with you at a glance.”
Wei Mingli’s face turned ashen.
That white fatso was a junior manager in His Second Highness’s estate and also the brother of His Second Highness’s favored concubine. He usually had His Second Highness’s confidence.
As this mission of approaching the Eastern Palace was very important, Mo Lu still didn’t trust her too much.
That’s why they had originally planned for this white and plump junior manager to infiltrate the Eastern Palace together with her. He was purported to be her support but in reality was sent to monitor her, preventing her from forgetting her mission after getting by swimmingly in the Eastern Palace.
Yet who would’ve expected…
The crown prince was too brilliant and saw through His Second Highness’s wishful thinking.
Wei Mingli did not know what to think.
“You people, what do you want to do.” Wei Mingli’s heart was trembling.
She did not expect that not only could she not get close to the crown prince, but she would even get imprisoned, as well.
Watching as that royal guard captain had his men loosen her and the white fatso, Wei Mingli shuddered. “Sir Officials, this hum-humble girl i-is at fault.”
“Stop being fussy, move it!” The royal guard captain shoved her along.
