Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince
Chapter 284 The Death of King Yan 4
When the jailer walked to the innermost cell with a torch, he saw that the person imprisoned there was the former Prince of Yan, Qi Zeyi.
The man inside lay motionless on the tattered bed, and he had been in the same position for the past few days. At first the jailer didn't pay much attention to it. He pushed the food in through the small window and suddenly found that there was no sign that the food from last night had been touched.
The jailer was startled, and hurriedly took out the key to open the door, and slowly approached the King of Yan, who was still motionless. The jailer reached out and patted the King of Yan, but the King of Yan's body had already stiffened, and there was a large pool of blood under his body.
The jailer was startled, stepped back a few steps, and then shouted: "Someone come! Someone come!"
When the jailers heard his panicked shouts, they knew something serious must have happened. The next moment, a group of people swarmed into the small cell. A bold jailer stepped forward to check King Yan's breathing, but found that he had died at some point.
The head jailer was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and asked sternly, "Who was on duty last night?"
The jailer lowered his head and said in panic, "It was me. He was fine last night, but he suddenly went crazy and screamed like crazy in the middle of the night. He struggled in the cell and even banged his head against the iron bars, screaming non-stop. But boss, he was really abnormal last night. He has been very quiet since he entered the prison and didn't speak all day, but he suddenly went crazy last night. I don't know what stimulated him."
"Oh, right, he kept shouting that he wanted to see Princess Rong'an. But Princess Rong'an had already come to visit him yesterday, and he was fine then. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I scolded him a few words. He was stunned for a long time, but then he gradually calmed down and stopped making trouble."
The head jailer asked, "He wants to see Princess Rong'an? Why didn't you come and report it?"
The jailer said in panic, "He is just a prisoner now, and it is midnight. How dare I disturb the county lady just because of his nonsense?"
The head jailer asked again, "How did you scold him?"
"This this……"
The jailer hesitated, and recalled the previous night. The prince of Yan suddenly went crazy, and the jailer could see it clearly. Most people who were put in prison would definitely not be able to accept this fact at first, but the prince of Yan was very strange. He did not make any noise or noise from the beginning. He was very quiet. He had just been thrown into the prison by the high and mighty prince, but he was so abnormal. He ate all the food that was searched in the prison without showing any dissatisfaction. After he came in, he quickly adapted to the prison life. Maybe he knew that he would be executed soon, so he had been obedient.
After the Princess of Rong'an left yesterday, the Prince of Yan was in a daze for a long time. He did not even touch the food that the jailer brought in in the afternoon. He ate it absentmindedly after being urged by the jailer. At night, he was like a madman, desperately pulling at the iron bars and screaming something.
It was the coldest time of the year, and the jailers were already dissatisfied. Prince Yan's disturbance immediately aroused their anger.
The jailer first warned him: "Don't make trouble, or you will suffer."
King Qi Zeyi of Yan had red eyes and disheveled hair, and roared: "I want to see Bai Zhiyuan, I want to see the Princess of Rong'an——"
The jailer scolded, "How can you see the princess just because you want to? Your Highness Prince Yan probably still thinks he is the high and mighty prince. Bah! Don't you even open your eyes and see who you are now? You are just a death row prisoner who is about to be executed, and you dare to clamor to see the princess."
Being humiliated like this, by a small jailer whom the King of Yan used to look down upon, the King of Yan was furious. He rushed over and put his hands over the iron bars as if he wanted to tear the jailer to pieces.
The jailer was so angry when he saw him like this that he rushed into the cell with a whip. The prince of Yan was kicked by Emperor Renxiao and his wounds had not healed yet. He had been in this cold and damp dungeon for two days, eating only the buns and food that had been searched. He had no strength at all. On normal days, a small jailer would not be his opponent, but today he was powerless to fight back and could only let the jailer's whip fall on him again and again. He was powerless to resist.
I don't know how long it took, but the jailer got tired of beating him, and the other jailers just glanced at him from a distance. Perhaps they knew he would be dead the next day, so no one cared about him.
The jailer spat on him and said to the other jailers with a smile, "I'm moving around a bit and now I feel less cold!"
The other jailers laughed when they heard this.
The King of Yan felt an unprecedented humiliation. When he was first imprisoned, although he was defeated, he still had hope in his heart that perhaps his staff and subordinates would find a way to rescue him. But he did not wait for them, but waited for Bai Zhiyuan.
The moment he saw her, his heart was filled with anger, resentment, and doubt, but there was also a faint joy in a corner. At this time, she still came to see him. Maybe she was not so ruthless to him.
But Bai Zhiyuan's words completely interrupted his hope. Her words were full of hatred for him, and she mentioned her past life. At first, the King of Yan didn't understand what she meant until Bai Zhiyuan left. He fell asleep in a trance and had a long dream.
How long was this dream? It seemed like he had lived his whole life like that. In the dream, he had always been the high and mighty Prince of Yan, admired by everyone. He and Bai Zhiyuan from General Weiyuan's mansion were childhood sweethearts, and they had studied martial arts together for many years. They were granted marriage by the emperor, and then they got married naturally. But after the marriage, he was bewitched by Jiang Muyun and betrayed Bai Zhiyuan. He also teamed up with Jiang Shuyan to frame Bai Tingxuan, causing Bai Tingxuan's tragic death and the destruction of the Bai family.
Bai Zhiyuan was kept in the dark, immersed in the grief of losing his loved ones, and had no idea of his affair with Jiang Muyun. He had been deceiving Bai Zhiyuan, telling him how much he wanted to ascend to the supreme position. Bai Zhiyuan believed him and planned for him wholeheartedly, helping him successfully ascend to the position of crown prince.
After he became the prince in his dream, he brought Jiang Muyun back to his mansion. With his connivance, Jiang Muyun destroyed Bai Zhiyuan's eyes, crippled her legs and martial arts, and put her under house arrest.
That day he held a banquet in his mansion to marry Jiang Muyun. After the guests left, Jiang Muyun went to the courtyard where Bai Zhiyuan was imprisoned and told her the truth one by one. He told her how he had deceived Bai Zhiyuan all these years, how he had used her to achieve his own goals, how he had killed her family, and how he had destroyed her family and made her unrecognizable.
Bai Zhiyuan was shocked at first, and then despaired. But whether she knew the truth or not was no longer important to him, who was sure of victory at that time.
Bai Zhiyuan was so desperate that she actually ran straight into the sword in Jiang Muyun's hand. She was dying, the blood on the ground and the bright red everywhere in the mansion complemented each other, and she died in front of him.
But he didn't care. For a person who was no longer useful, he could just die. But in the following days, he had frequent nightmares. In his dreams, he saw Bai Zhiyuan's empty pupils before his death, and the words full of hatred, "I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."
He never believed in ghosts or monsters, but the consecutive nightmares made him feel terrified. He sought help from a master, but it was of no use.
He thought that as the crown prince, the throne was already in his pocket, but Xie Yunsong recovered the northern border at this time and supported the emergence of Prince Jin. His father was old and his health was deteriorating, but he trusted Prince Jin more and more.
Finally, he was defeated by the two princes, Prince Jin and Prince Chen. He completely lost his father's favor and became an unpopular prince. Later, he even lost his position as the prince. Prince Jin soon took the throne and became the new prince.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that everything he had was due to Bai Zhiyuan's help. After he completely despised her, his road to succession began to go downhill.
Prince Yan woke up as if from a dream, with tears of regret still falling on his face.
Everything in the dream was too real, as if it was his own experience.
He recalled what Bai Zhiyuan said yesterday: "In this life or the past, they owe each other nothing from now on."
Previous life, it was actually previous life.
Qi Zeyi remembered everything. It turned out that these were all things that happened in his previous life. No wonder Bai Zhiyuan's personality changed so much and she was targeting him everywhere. It turned out that he had done so many things to let her down in his previous life.
After he remembered everything, he banged on the iron fence like crazy, "I want to see Bai Zhiyuan——"
"Someone, I want to see Bai Zhiyuan—"
The jailer was annoyed by his noise and angrily yelled, "You will be beheaded tomorrow. How could the princess, who is worth a lot of money, come to see a prisoner like you?"
Qi Zeyi suddenly realized that he had lost Bai Zhiyuan in his previous life.
At this moment, he felt mixed emotions. When he finally remembered everything, it was too late. No matter in his past life or in this life, he was a complete loser.
He once had Bai Zhiyuan, but he didn't cherish her, instead he let Jiang Muyun abuse and torture her. She hated herself, and she had the right to do so.
Qi Zeyi laughed loudly in the cold prison cell, and as he laughed he began to cry.
The jailer saw this and said to him, "Madman! Keep quiet, or I'll send you off tomorrow!"
The jailer looked at him with disgust, rubbed his hands and left, cursing.
The jailer's voice gradually faded away until it could no longer be heard.
Qi Zeyi's hair was disheveled, his face was unkempt, and his eyes were dead.
He slowly took out a blade hidden on his body, which he had hidden when he was first thrown into the prison, in order to leave a way out for himself.
But at this moment, Qi Zeyi stared blankly at the blade in his hand, sitting in the cold cell, despair surging in his heart.
He cut his finger, tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, dipped it in his blood, and wrote word by word: "Ayuan, I'm sorry! See you in the next life!"
He carefully let the cloth air dry, then forced a determined smile and cut his neck as if in relief.
Qi Zeyi felt the blood draining from his body bit by bit, and his past and present lives appeared before his eyes. Bai Zhiyuan's bright appearance, she whispered softly: "Senior Brother——"
Qi Zeyi smiled and slowly closed his eyes. He hoped that when he opened his eyes again, it might be a new life, and then he would definitely make up for his wish, and they would never be separated again.
