The rain continued for several more days. I heard that Yuan Wu knelt outside the palace for several days, begging Emperor Jingyuan to punish him.

Probably because he was old and had lost several children one after another, Emperor Jingyuan was kind enough not to punish Yuan Wu.

Yuan Wu was so flattered that he asked Emperor Jing Yuan to give him a chance to make meritorious service, saying that he would personally kill the guilty woman Ning Wuyan to quell the rebellion, and Emperor Jing Yuan agreed.

In a secluded place outside the city, several people who looked like craftsmen were diligently digging and filling holes.

The wind was blowing coldly, and behind them was a young man in a pine green robe.

After a while, the pit was finally almost buried. A leading worker turned around and asked, "Sir, do you really not want to pile it into a grave?"

Young Master Songlu shook his head, "No."

Then he took out the silver from his pocket and handed it to them.

The workers left happily, but the young man was still standing at the filled grave pit holding an oil-paper umbrella.

The narrow fox eyes frowned slightly, and he looked at the newly turned soil for a long time before letting out a long sigh.

"You were once the most noble person in Shangjing City, but now you have ended up without a grave."

As he spoke, he knelt down and touched the handful of new soil with his long, white hands.

"Your Highness, you once promised Shen Le a fortune and glory, but there was nothing in return for the joy. I was lucky enough to bury you, and it was considered as repayment for your kindness.

But His Highness, don't blame the scrawled burial... He doesn't allow you to erect a monument or repair the tomb, or destroy it if you see it... Only in this way can you be safe. "

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the big raindrops hit the new soil and immediately made a crater. Shen Le subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it. He could block this side but not that side. He simply put down his umbrella to cover the lonely grave from the rain.

The cells in Tianlao are divided according to levels. The more heinous the crimes, the deeper they are in the Tianlao.

Ning Yu was locked up there.

The dark cell was impenetrable, with only a fist-sized round hole at the top letting in a ray of sunlight.

When Emperor Jingyuan passed by, Ning Yu was sitting on the bed and taking a nap against the wall.

The jailer wanted to remind him, but Emperor Jingyuan stopped him.

Unlike other key criminals, Ning Yu is still chained even though he is in prison.

Emperor Jingyuan ordered the others to go down and entered the cell himself.

He sat opposite Ning Yu, looking at his childhood friend in front of him, his thoughts racing.

Ning Yu didn't open her eyes but she knew who it was. After waiting for a long time before Emperor Jing Yuan spoke, she said, "Your Majesty, are you here to see me?"

Emperor Jingyuan recovered his thoughts and said, "I'm here to see you off."

Ning Yu then opened her eyes, but she was not surprised at all.

"Since we were seeing each other off, why didn't you bring me some food and wine? Your Majesty is too stingy."

Emperor Jingyuan was silent, and Wang Congti came in with a food basket.

After placing the wine and dishes, Ning Yu picked up the jug and started drinking.

There was silence in the sky prison. Prisoners like Ning Yu who committed heinous crimes might not be released in a few years. Even if they were released, most of them would be executed immediately, and they would not wait as long as Ning Yu. It hasn't been cut for a long time.

"Do you have any regrets?"

Emperor Jingyuan suddenly asked.

Ning Yu paused.

"Which one does Your Majesty ask?"

This time it was Emperor Jingyuan's turn to be stunned.

Ning Yu chuckled, "What do you regret? Do you regret raising a private soldier? Or do you regret that I shouldn't have gone to the Golden City for you to rebel in the first place?"

"for me?"

Emperor Jingyuan's face darkened.

"Is it possible that Gu wants you to destroy his city?"

"Isn't that what your Majesty means?"

Ning Yu's words stopped Emperor Jingyuan in his tracks.

He knew that he was not far from death, so he had nothing to be taboo about anymore.

He came closer to Emperor Jing Yuan and lowered his voice, but his voice was still heavy.

"You are afraid of Meng Ying! You also know Liu Shixuan's feelings for her, and you just want to kill her? No way!"

He smiled and continued drinking and eating meat.

Emperor Jingyuan's face became more and more gloomy. He hated the feeling of being seen through by others. He even hated it when others exposed his scars and ridiculed him for saying that his scars were ugly!

Therefore, he hates Ning Yu!

He waved and Wang Cong brought in another tray.

The tray was covered with cloth, and its shape could be vaguely seen.

Ning Yu stopped and looked at the tray blankly. The always smart and smart Marquis Ning seemed to be stupid at this moment.

"what is this?"

Emperor Jingyuan's demeanor has long returned to the calm and calm manner before. He motioned to Wang Cong to present the tray in front of Ning Yu and let him open it himself.

Ning Yu paused, dropped her chopsticks in her hurry, and the wine cup fell down, so she knelt down and sat up without having time to hold her up. His trembling hands slowly reached towards the cloth, and after a long pause, he mustered up the courage to lift it open.

The pungent smell of blood filled the entire cell, and a bloody human head was placed on the tray.

The hair mixed with blood has stuck to the face of the head. Even if the facial features cannot be seen, you can tell from the hair accessories that it is a woman's head.

Ning Yu's hands trembled even more. He brushed the hair stuck to the woman's face randomly, and then he saw clearly that it was Concubine Ning.

A "clang" sound was the sound of iron chains being rattled.

Ning Yu moved forward with both hands and went straight for Emperor Jing Yuan's neck, as if she wanted to strangle him to death, but the iron chain had long restricted his range of movement, and he was still far away from Emperor Jing Yuan.

"Beast! Beast!!"

Ning Yu roared with eyes split open, and her usually docile eyes finally revealed their sinister nature.

"She is the woman who has been with you for so many years, and has given birth to two children for you, and you treat her like this?!

Elder Nine, do you still have your heart? ! "

Emperor Jingyuan let him scold him without fear.

He has been scolded by others since he was born. No matter how he pleases others, in the eyes of others, he is still a beast.

Since they are all beasts, then he must be the beast that others fear!

No one can bully him anymore, no one can dare to scold him in person, and no one can be allowed to betray him!

Ning Yu cursed for a long time and gradually stopped.

He had followed Emperor Jing Yuan since he was a child, so he naturally knew what kind of person Emperor Jing Yuan was. He knew that he didn't care at all whether he was a beast or not, he only cared about his status and his dignity.

Ning Yu seemed to be extremely tired, and his angry expression calmed down. He seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and he had become weak.

"Your Majesty, why are you afraid of me? I have been with you all the way since you were a child..."

"Then why do you want to raise private soldiers?"

Ning Yu looked up at him and smiled after a moment.

"In the final analysis, we all understand each other too well. The more we understand each other, the less we believe it..."

Emperor Jingyuan stood up in silence.

Just like Ning Yu said, they all know each other too well and know that each other is an uneasy dragon lurking in the abyss, so from the beginning, they are destined not to reach the same destination by different paths.

"But you shouldn't have killed Liu Shixuan too!

I'll let them give you a good one. "

"Does Your Majesty still think that killing Liu Shixuan was my own will?"

Ning Yu's words made Emperor Jing Yuan, who was about to leave, pause again.

Ning Yu continued: "If this can make His Majesty feel better, then why not accept it?"

Emperor Jingyuan was in a daze for a moment, and after Wang Cong's reminder, he walked out without looking back.

Ning Yu's words came again from behind.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to die for you. Please let Ayan go and give her a way to live!!"
