dungeon.

Chu Tingyu had been in Qin Lingyun's cell for a long time. He asked others to stay away, so no one knew what the situation was inside.

But every once in a while, Qin Lingyun's screams of pain would be heard, and the sound would gradually fade away after a while.

Xu Rui sat at a table at the entrance of the dungeon, his eyes half closed, as if he was resting.

At this moment, there was a sound at the door and someone came in, bringing with him a gust of cold wind.

Qi Ming stopped beside Xu Rui and asked, "Doctor Xu, where is the prince?"

"We are still interrogating Qin Lingyun." He raised his eyes, "Has Ding Zheng been found?"

"Yeah." Qi Ming nodded.

The fact that Li Jingwan was seriously injured and unconscious could not be hidden from Li Dingzheng after all.

Chu Tingyu originally wanted to wait until Li Jingwan got better before telling Li Dingzheng, so he lied that Li Jingwan was away for a few days to do some business.

Li Dingzheng seemed to believe it, but this afternoon the housekeeper sent someone to deliver a message that Li Dingzheng and Bai Yiyi, who were supposed to be in the mansion, were nowhere to be seen.

Chu Tingyu was in a hurry to see Qin Lingyun at that time, so he asked Qi Ming to take people to look for her.

Xu Rui's face relaxed slightly. "Where was he at that time?"

"A medical clinic."

He did not go to the clinic where Li Jingwan worked, but instead went to a clinic in the west of the city. At that time, he and Bai Yiyi were asking everyone one by one whether Li Jingwan lived there.

Qi Ming explained, "Master Li didn't want to go back to the mansion, so I took the initiative and took him to Jirentang."

"It's okay, the prince won't blame you." Xu Rui said, "Although Ding Zheng hasn't recovered his memory, they are siblings, and he should know the truth."

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and suddenly said, "Here it comes."

Just as he finished speaking, a woman's scream suddenly came out, echoing in the dark and cold dungeon, making people shudder.

Xu Rui was startled, but seeing that the people around him were used to it, he asked, "Doctor Xu, what is that sound?"

"The ant poison in Qin Lingyun's body will attack once every half an hour." Xu Rui said calmly, "Wait a minute, the prince should be coming out soon."

In the cell, Chu Tingyu directly threw the medicine bottle in his hand over.

After Qin Lingyun picked it up and pulled out the cork, she didn't have time to pour out the pills. She simply tilted her head back and poured the medicine bottle into her open mouth.

But only one pill was poured out.

Chu Tingyu sat like an old monk, maintaining the same posture from beginning to end. Only the rage in his eyes that occasionally surged revealed his emotions.

He watched Qin Lingyun's movements quietly, and when she took the medicine and lay on the ground waiting for the pain to ease like she had done several times before, he slowly spoke.

“This is the last one.”

Qin Lingyun, who was still in severe pain all over her body, immediately sat up with a look of panic on her face when she heard these words.

"Your Majesty, I will tell you everything, and I will tell you now."

She continued her memories that had been interrupted by the effects of the poison.

"After we confessed our guilt, you drew out a sword and pointed it at... Qin Changzhou..."

Fear burst out of Qin Lingyun's eyes, and the scene before her death was vivid in her mind.

She was kneeling on the ground at the time and saw Chu Tingyu holding a sword and saying to Qin Changzhou that he would use the sword to avenge the Li family.

Qin Changzhou begged for mercy quickly, but he only said a few words before Chu Tingyu stabbed him in the throat with a sword.

Blood splattered everywhere, even some of it splashed on her face.

The first time Qin Lingyun saw a murder scene happened right next to her, and the victim was her biological father.

She screamed in fright, and at the same time she heard Tang Qiaoyin's scream.

Qin Changzhou did not die immediately. After falling to the ground, he raised his hands and struggled, which was very scary.

No one dared to plead for him.

When Qin Changzhou died, Old Madam Qin had already fainted from fright.

Chu Tingyu walked towards Tang Qiaoyin again.

She was so frightened that she was shaking all over and almost fainted. She was trembling and couldn't utter a word. She could only shake her head.

"You and Qin Changzhou have a deep friendship and will never leave each other." Chu Tingyu clearly smiled, but Qin Lingyun felt that it was the most terrifying expression in the world.

"Of course I cannot separate you."

He raised his sword and directly wiped Tang Qiaoyin's neck.

Then, Qin Lingyun's face became hot.

She understood that this was Tang Qiaoyin's blood.

Next was Qin Guangyao, who first kowtowed to Chu Tingyu and begged for mercy, then said that he was a court official, and even if he had committed a crime, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice should convict and execute him.

"Do you think you can still survive?" Chu Tingyu asked.

"Let alone the fact that you and Qin Changzhou falsely accused the General's Mansion of treason and collusion, just because you were so unfilial and unkind to your adoptive mother, I will not let you live."

"Your Highness, I was forced to do this." Qin Guangyao softened his attitude and begged for mercy. "They have instilled these ideas in me since I was a child. I can only listen to them. Your Highness, please spare my life, Your Highness..."

"Didn't you say 'A son wishes to support his parents but they are no longer there'?" Chu Tingyu suddenly said.

"Since you are truly repentant, then go meet your adoptive mother and apologize to her in person."

When she heard this, Qin Lingyun closed her eyes.

Then, another stream of hot blood splattered on her face.

Blood flowed down his face and dripped onto the ground, which was particularly obvious in the silent night.

These three streams of blood actually made her strangely calm.

At this moment, she heard another voice.

When she looked up, Chu Tingyu was already standing in front of her, like the handsome and incomparable god she had seen in the storybooks, coming to claim the lives of the remaining evildoers in the world.

She wanted to shout for help, but Chu Tingyu's sword was faster and pierced her heart directly. It was very painful, but also very light.

So this is what death feels like.

As she fell, she heard Chu Tingyu talking about the punishment for Old Madam Qin - after publicly announcing the crimes of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, she would be executed by slow slicing.

"I thought I was going to hell after I died, but when I opened my eyes, I found myself locked up in the yard by Chu Tingjue..."

It took her a long time to realize that she had been reborn.

She thought this was a chance for revenge given to her by God, but she didn't expect that it would cause her even greater torture.

"Your Majesty, you also know what happened next..."

After Qin Lingyun finished speaking, she couldn't help but look up at Chu Tingyu. She found that his expression at this moment was exactly the same as when he was holding a sword and killing people in his previous life. She couldn't help but shudder.

Chu Tingyu didn't ask any more questions and stood up in silence.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Qin Lingyun hurriedly said, "Prince, I have told you everything I know. Please give me the antidote. It really hurts..."

Chu Tingyu slowly turned his head, and the look he gave her was sharper than the sword that could kill her.

"The pain you have endured is not even one ten-thousandth of what Li Jingwan has endured. This is what you deserve."

He left the cell directly, ignoring Qin Lingyun's pleas and howls.

As soon as Chu Tingyu came out, Xu Rui immediately stood up and clearly felt that the coldness emanating from Chu Tingyu was several times stronger than when he first arrived.

"My Lord, what's going on?"

"The bottle of pills has been used up." Chu Tingyu ordered, "Don't let her die, but don't let her feel good. She still has some use."

"I understand." Xu Rui nodded.

Even without Chu Tingyu telling him, he would not let Qin Lingyun have an easy time.

Chu Tingyu walked out silently. It was already night outside. There was no moon in the sky and it was pitch black.

He suddenly thought, was it also this dark on the night when he avenged the general's mansion in his previous life?

"Go to Jirentang." Chu Tingyu said.

At this moment, he really wanted to see Li Jingwan.
