Chapter 399 How Can He Die
Chapter 399 How Can He Die
Shen Wanwan couldn't understand. If Madam Shen stole her out for the jade pendant, why didn't she just take it away and kill her, but instead pampered her and raised her?
She stood there motionless, her eyes gloomy, her gaze fixed on Old Madam Shen's face, not moving away at all.
She no longer tucked in Old Madam Shen as she used to, nor did she hold her hand and whisper to her anymore. She just quietly looked at the person on the bed.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Wanwan finally withdrew her gaze and turned to leave Old Madam Shen's bedroom.
The moment Shen Wanwan walked out of the bedroom, Old Madam Shen opened her eyes and stared at the curtain above her head, her hands clenched into fists under the quilt.
After Shen Wanwan returned to Wanqing Courtyard, she went straight into the dormitory and slipped into the space.
……
At this time, Dali Temple.
Deep in the dark and damp prison, in an isolated cell, a man was lying on moldy straw.
He was the former Marquis of Cheng'en, Pei Boliang. He was curled up, his fine clothes were already tattered, and he had obviously suffered many punishments. His body was covered with scars and dirt, and emitted a foul stench.
Pei Bailiang's hair was scattered messily on his face, covering his face tightly, and also covering the unwillingness and deep despair in his heart.
It's over, it's over!
When the Imperial Concubine came to him, she thought she had found a strong support. If Prince Rui succeeded, he would be able to follow the emperor and the Marquis' Mansion would become the Duke's Mansion at any time.
Therefore, when the commander of the Imperial Guards, Jiang Zhenhua, took him away, he had no worries in his heart. He was sure that the Imperial Concubine and Prince Rui would rescue him from prison, so he let Prince Qin be proud for a while.
But what he didn't expect was that King Rui was so useless, and all the evidence of raising private soldiers fell into the hands of King Qin.
What’s even worse is that the King of Qin’s men somehow found out about the secret room hidden in his bedroom, and all his hidden weapons were taken away.
In this way, even if the matter of Prince Rui raising private soldiers does not involve him, after all, Pei Chonglin is not his biological son. As long as he removes this relationship, there will be no problem in the Marquis' Mansion, and he can still sit firmly on the throne of Marquis Cheng'en.
However, when the hidden weapons were found, the evidence of his guilt was irrefutable and he had no way to defend himself.
During the time he was locked up in prison, he understood what it meant to live a life worse than death. Not only did he have to endure the pain of punishment, but he also had to endure the pain of thousands of ants gnawing at his bones every two days.
Not long ago, he had fainted from poisoning. Now that he had woken up and smelled the foul odor all around him, he felt hopeless again.
But he was thirsty and hungry, so he had to shiver and crawl over to lick the water drops hanging on the wall, which took a long time to drip.
At this time, a sound of footsteps came from a distance, getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door of the cell where Pei Bailiang was.
When Pei Bailiang heard the sound, he immediately stopped licking the dripping water on the wall and turned to look towards the prison door.
After a "clang" sound, the heavy cell door was opened.
Nangong Hao, dressed in a crimson brocade robe, walked in. When Pei Bailiang saw who it was, his pupils suddenly shrank. Why was he here again!
Pei Bailiang's eyes were filled with fear and even more despair.
A few days ago, the King of Pingnan suddenly came and tortured him severely for some unknown reason. When the other party left, he was only breathing his last breath.
Fortunately, the jailer called a doctor to treat him, otherwise he would have died long ago.
After a few days of peaceful life, I finally regained some strength, but I didn't expect that the plague god would come again!
"My Lord...what are you doing here?"
Pei Bailiang's voice trembled. Given his current physical condition, if he were tortured again, he would really die.
He doesn't want to die yet, and he can't die yet!
Yueqing hasn't even brought Guangguang to see him, how could he die?
Pei Bailiang felt somewhat fortunate. If it weren't for that little bitch Wanwan's cheating, he wouldn't have divorced Xie Leqing so quickly, and he wouldn't have crossed Guangguang out of the family tree.
If Xie Leqing had not taken Guangguang away from the Marquis' Mansion, he would now be imprisoned like him.
Treason is a serious crime that will punish nine generations of one's family, and no one can escape it.
He suddenly felt a little grateful to that annoying girl. If it weren't for her, their Pei family would have really been wiped out.
Nangong Hao didn't respond, but stretched out his right hand with his palm facing up. The jailer took one look and immediately handed him a whip with barbs soaked in chili salt water.
Pei Boliang's breathing stagnated. "Your Highness, I'll tell you a secret. Please call Xie Leqing for me. I have something to say to her..."
He had asked the jailer to tell Xie Leqing to come and see him, but no matter how long he waited, she never showed up.
He wanted to tell her to take people to Bijia Mountain to rescue the people, but she didn't come. How could he dare to tell the jailer that his son was in Bijia Mountain?
When Nangong Hao heard that this scumbag actually wanted to see Qing'er, he swung his whip. With a "crack" sound, a wailing sounded in the cell.
"Wanwan, about Wanwan's life experience!"
