Chapter 14 Beheading the Public
She had forgotten how many times she had woken up, and there was no light in the dark damp cell.2
She had been locked up here for half a month and he had only been here once.
That time, he looked down at her with contempt in his eyes. She was brought to him and heavily knelt down. She was a husband and wife, but now she was his prisoner.
He ordered someone to set up a table, bowl, and chopsticks and sit down in front of her. Like a discussant, he asked," Bai Ling and Poison Wine, choose one. I can still consider giving you a complete corpse."
As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of Ruan Shiqing." This wine doesn't have a spicy taste. You should like it."
Like it?
She sneered," Is His Majesty so eager to sin against her?"
Li Siyuan actually smiled." Do you think you have a way to live?"
She understood.
He was the ruler of a nation in Daning. Since he wanted her to die, no one could let her live.
But how could he be willing?How could he just die so willingly?
But, did she have another choice?
No, she knew. Since she didn't, she He Bi listen to him. Anyway...He couldn't escape.
She fixed her gaze on him and suddenly smiled. With a wave of her sleeve, she flipped over the wine cup." Doesn't His Majesty want to give General Qin an explanation?"In that case."Then why don't we behead the guilty woman and show the crowd?"
Behead the crowd?
Li Siyuan eyes darkened, and the hand holding the flagon trembled imperceptibly." Ruan Shiqing, you said that, don't regret it!"
"Regret?"Ruan Shiqing retorted," The only thing that can make a guilty woman regret is that she loved the wrong person and married the wrong person."
Li Siyuan's expression turned ugly. He grabbed Ruan Shiqing collar and lifted her up." Then, congratulations to the Queen. It's not too late to understand now."
"Empress..." Ruan Shiqing murmured softly and sneered," Your Majesty is joking. The guilty woman is no longer Your Majesty's Empress."
Ruan Shiqing a guilty woman, Li Siyuan actually looked like she was annoyed. She glared at her fiercely," It seems you still know your limits."
She straightened her neck and tried not to breathe, but she still mocked in her dry and hoarse voice," Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Ruan Shiqing," he gritted his teeth." You still have time to regret it!"
Ruan Shiqing just shook his head and quietly pushed him a little further away." In a place like the prison cell, His Majesty is the son of the heavens. It's better to have less."
"Alright, alright!"He seemed to be angry and anxious. He even said three good words," I originally wanted to share my past feelings and leave you a complete corpse."You don't want it!"
"Don't tell me you still want to feel His Majesty's great kindness?"She sneered," Li Siyuan, it's my sin that deserves it. My only sin is to give you a heart."
Love wasn't right or wrong, but it was just love for the wrong person.
Her clothes were tightly gripped by him, forcing her to look up at him.She looked straight at him, not showing any signs of weakness. Tears welled up in her eyes, stubbornly refusing to flow down.
Li Siyuan hand stiffened and actually forgot what to do next. He looked at her with a complicated expression.
His gaze was so deep that she could not understand it.Yes, she never understood him.
She stretched out her hand and took out a jade hairpin from her chest for a long time. She lifted it up and handed it to Li Siyuan." This is the gift you gave me when I was fifteen.""Now, I'll return it to you."
He only gave a light glance and let go of the Ruan Shiqing. He pulled out the jade hairpin from her hand and casually said," It's a good piece of jade. What a pity."
The hairpin slipped from his hand and shattered.
She closed her eyes, feeling that her heart was as broken as that jade hairpin.
She slowly took a few steps back and turned around. After a moment, she lowered her voice and said," That's the best."
He didn't look at her anymore. Before he left, he paused for a moment and instructed the inner supervisor, Dong Xin," Even though the hairpin is broken, it's still worth a few dollars. If you sell it, you'll still be able to drink."
