I dressed as a princess and cheated on myself

She found it too difficult to explain.

Seeing how conflicted she was, he couldn't bear to force her any further.

He gently held her in his arms and said, "Alright, as long as you don't want to, I won't mention it. If you hate me for killing your family, you can also take my life now!"

Song Bushi wondered whether this was true or not. Men are indeed the most affectionate when they can't get what they want. He would even give her his life?

If she told him now that the child was not her own, and that they had never loved each other before, let alone had any feelings for each other, would he kill her immediately?

His love was based on the two children and on the assumption that they had a romantic past.

It was based on his debt to Liang Yuxuan.

And he didn't even know that she was just a poor soul who had strayed into this world. Would he love this soul?

A poor creature who doesn't even have a body and has been abandoned countless times.

Even her parents abandoned her, even her most trusted grandfather gave up on her, who else could she trust?

Her heart suddenly became so cold, so sad, and so miserable.

She clearly longed for this relationship and was clearly attracted to it, but she didn't dare to accept it.

She didn't dare to take the next step because she was afraid of the disappointment after the expectation, which was the most desperate thing.

Thinking of this, she calmly pushed him away, "I heard that Prime Minister Zhao's family will be implicated? Isn't this too severe? Zhao Ziqing was not involved, she is also a victim! By the way, did you find her?"

Speaking of Zhao Ziqing, Prince Heng suddenly realized, "Yes, she hasn't been found yet. Last night, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion was ransacked, and hundreds of people from the Zhao family were arrested. Zhao Ziqing is definitely not there!"

Song Bushi asked worriedly, "Could it be that Prime Minister Zhao has already silenced him?"

"It's hard to say. I will go to the prison and interrogate him personally."

Song Bushi chased after him, "Can you take me with you?"

"What are you doing in a place like that?"

"Although I only met Zhao Ziqing once, she gave me the evidence of her mother's murder. Isn't this a kind of trust? She chose to trust me, how could I ignore her?"

"Okay, then you go with me!"

Under the leadership of King Heng, Song Bushi stepped into the Heavenly Prison for the first time.

It was cold and damp inside, with many compartments, each packed with people.

There were guards with swords every few steps, and it was almost impossible to escape because there was not even a window for ventilation in the prison.

King Heng led Song Bushi through layers of cells.

Those people stretched out their hands and went crazy inside.

Some begged for mercy, some cursed, and some attacked each other. As long as they didn't go too far, the guards turned a blind eye.

The two walked to the innermost part and entered a large open space.

There were torture instruments hung all around the venue, and just looking at those horrible instruments made me so scared that my legs went weak.

There was a prisoner being tried lying on the ground in the middle of the venue. He was beaten to a bloody mess and was wailing.

Prince Heng stepped in, and the guards paused, "Greetings, Your Majesty and Princess!"

Prince Heng asked, "Are these the captured Japanese pirates?"

"Your Highness, these are all Japanese pirates, and they are very stubborn."

"Baga..." The Japanese pirate being interrogated screamed and cursed at King Heng.

King Heng was puzzled and asked, "What is he talking about?"

The guard shook his head, "I don't understand either."

Song Bushi said, "He is scolding you!"

"You also understand Japanese pirate language?"

"I guessed it. You can tell from his expression that he was cursing."

King Heng nodded and said to the torturer, "Why are you still standing there? Beat him to death!"

The guard said in embarrassment, "Is it okay to kill them? According to what the higher-ups said, an envoy from the Japanese pirates came to ask for peace, saying it was a misunderstanding, and the emperor doesn't want to make enemies..."

"Misunderstanding?" Song Bushi said viciously, "These Japanese pirates are determined to do what they want. If you don't fight them this time, they will come again after a while! I know them best."

Prince Heng looked at her with a smile, "Then according to Madam's opinion, what should we do?"

Song Bushi said, "Kill, kill everyone in the most cruel way. Don't give them any illusions, make sure they never dare to set foot on this land again, kill them one by one, until they are scared."

At this time, the warden came in and said, "Your Majesty, there is an order from above to release these pirates."

Hearing this, the beaten Japanese pirate laughed out loud.

They were extremely crazy and kept shouting loudly. Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could tell that they were very proud of themselves.

Prince Heng looked unhappy, "How can we let these people go? What does the emperor mean?"

The head of the prison: "Yes, the Japanese pirates sent tribute, saying that they had received a secret decree from the prime minister and needed them to come and protect the emperor. Who knew that the prime minister had the intention of rebellion and implicated them. They were just following the prime minister's orders!"

Song Bushi was anxious, "Just listen to their nonsense, we can't let these beasts go, that's like letting a tiger go back to the mountain!"

The warden glanced at Song Bushi and said nothing.

King Heng held Song Bushi's hand and signaled her not to be anxious.

Song Bushi finally shut up, but he was furious in his heart. The emperor was so confused.

"Did the emperor say to release him immediately?"

The head of the prison said, "No, the messenger will leave in a few days, and we should let them go with him then."

"Understood. No one is allowed to release it early without my order!"

After saying this, he strode inside. There was a cell in the innermost room, where Prime Minister Zhao and his family were imprisoned!

When he opened the door, a cloud of dust fell down and Song Bushi choked and coughed.

Prince Heng used his sleeve to fan her and whispered, "This is where serious criminals are held. It's not often used, so it's a bit dusty. How about you wait outside?"

"No, I'm fine."

Song Bushi followed him inside and heard a familiar and sharp voice, "Sister Song, save me..."

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Wang Wan'er.

After being whipped by the princess, he still had scars on his body.

Her hair was disheveled at this moment, and she no longer looked as proud as before.

He cried and begged her, "Sister Song, save me... I didn't rebel, I don't want to die, please save me."

Together with Wang Wan'er was the Prime Minister's wife, who glared at her and Prince Heng angrily.

He grabbed the cell door and yelled, "You all deserve to die. Why did you arrest us, you bastards!"

Wang Wan'er covered her mother's mouth and warned her in a low voice, "Don't scold me anymore, it will kill me!"

Song Bushi walked closer without even glancing at them.

Wang Wan'er waved her hands hard, trying to grab her sleeves. "Sister Song, please look at me. I was wrong before. I shouldn't have framed you. Please let me go. As long as you save me, I will work like a cow and a horse to repay you in this life."

Song Bushi was too lazy to pay attention to her and just asked, "Why isn't Zhao Ziqing here?"

Wang Wan'er looked around in confusion, and suddenly realized that Zhao Ziqing was not there. She asked her mother in despair, "Mom, where is Ziqing?"

Madam shook her head. Wang Wan'er was furious. "Dad sent her away early?"

"No." The lady responded in a low voice.

Wang Wan'er jumped up in anger, "No? Then why isn't she here? All of us have been arrested, why not her? She is also Daddy's daughter, why didn't they arrest her?"
