the capital.In the dark and humid dungeon, sewage, mud, and some inexplicable bloodstains are everywhere.There is an unpleasant smell in the air, and it is impossible to tell what kind of smell is mixed together to form it.

Xiao Chenying sat on the haystack in the cell.This is the worst cell in the sky prison. It is located in the corner, the light is the dimmest, and it is also the coldest and the dampest.Rats creaked across his bed, and the thin quilt on the bed was so hard and wet that it was almost unusable.

But he didn't seem to be moved by these harsh and dilapidated scenes, he just closed his eyes and practiced his breathing silently.

The poison he had been poisoned before had already been cured by Master Yunyang, but he had sealed several big acupuncture points all over his body.He has no way to exercise as usual, he can only do some basic breath adjustment.

But his five senses were still sharp, and when he heard the slight sound of footsteps approaching from far in the corridor, a cold smile rose on his lips.

"Wanzhou, it's you." He said in a low voice, "Did Xiao Er dare not come to see me?"

"He just doesn't want to see you," Mu Wanzhou quietly looked at his pale face through the railing of the cell, "because he has nothing to say to you."

Xiao Chenying sneered: "What about you, do you have something to tell me?"

Mu Wanzhou said indifferently: "There are some."

"Oh?"

Mu Wanzhou stepped forward and got closer to him: "Although you are cruel to me, I have plotted against you. We have come a long way, and we are even, and we owe each other nothing."

"Everyone owes each other?!" Xiao Chenying looked sideways at him slowly, his eyes were full of viciousness, "Wanzhou, I don't think it should be calculated like this!"

"Then what do you want?"

"You betrayed my heart!" Xiao Chenying jumped off the couch, raised her hand and pointed fiercely at Mu Wanzhou's eyebrows, "You abandoned our most innocent feelings when we were young, and fell in love with someone else!"

His every word was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the dark sky prison.

Mu Wanzhou quietly raised her eyes to look at him, listening to his complaint.

"No matter how many things I shouldn't have done, I never gave up on loving you!" Xiao Chenying said sharply, "And what about you?! What about you?! Because Xiao Er sleeps too much, you can't leave him?! You're a dirty, rascal!"

"I used to cherish you so much, I only wanted to touch you when I was married to you. I was... stupid... I..." He said, but his eyes were red, "If I had married you earlier If you take it as your own, won't you change your mind, Wan Zhou?!"

There was no fluctuation in Mu Wanzhou's eyes, she still looked at him as cold as snow.

"You're wrong," he said softly.

"Even then, I would still love him."

"Because he is sincere to me, bit by bit, wholeheartedly, I am not blind, I can see it all. But you—"

"Your so-called love, but every step and every minute is used and hurt."

Xiao Chenying covered her forehead, she seemed to have a splitting headache, staggered a few steps, and then laughed out loud in despair and dejection.

"So, you want to say that all of this is my fault?!" His voice was a little weird and angry, "You and Xiao Er...don't feel sorry for me at all?!"

"I have it, and so does he." Mu Wanzhou said quietly, "But we don't owe you any more."

"You are wrong, Wanzhou!" Xiao Chenying ran to the railing of the cell unsteadily, and grabbed the cold and damp wooden railing, "What you owe me, what you will always owe me—is That heart, the heart you gave to someone else!"

"Then I owe you," Mu Wanzhou said lightly, "I did fall in love with someone else, and I stopped thinking about you."

"Why?! Why?!" Xiao Chenying asked hoarsely, "Because you think he is sincere and I am fake?! I will never forgive you, Wanzhou, forever—"

"..." Mu Wanzhou was speechless.

"So, you don't think you've done anything wrong, do you?" After a long time, he asked softly.

"Which step of mine was not forced?" Xiao Chenying's voice suddenly choked up, "I have been pushed and urged since I was born, no matter how reluctant I am, don't I have to go step by step to the present?! Do you want to say that when I seize the heirloom, I will be slaughtered like a lamb? Or after escaping from the fire, I will give up revenge, endure humiliation, and then take you away? Do you think it is correct? !"

Mu Wanzhou shook her head slowly: "No, I don't think that way. The battle for the heir apparent is cruel, and there is no right or wrong. But at least, if you are willing to stop before any step or change your approach, I will With you, we wouldn't be where we are today."

He exhaled softly like a sigh, and said softly: "We will never go back to the beginning, Xiao Chenying."

After hearing this, Xiao Chenying was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed as if crying.In the dark and deep dungeon, such a voice is particularly strange, terrifying, but desolate.

"At first?!" He gritted his teeth. "If I had a choice, I hope we never met at first—never."

"Really." Mu Wanzhou frowned, "Never?"

"Yes!" Xiao Chenying's voice was trembling, and her whole body was trembling, "I can't forgive you for changing your mind, and I will never regret anything I did for revenge!"

"I see," Mu Wanzhou said with downcast eyes, "Ah Bei is right, there is really no need for me to come see you."

"I don't need to see you again in this life!" Xiao Chenying turned around and stopped looking at him.

But he was trembling all over, and his body was on the verge of falling, as if he was about to fall in the next moment.

Mu Wanzhou turned sideways to leave, but turned her head slightly, and sighed softly:

"But I still don't regret meeting you, otherwise I wouldn't know Ah Bei either."

When Xiao Chenying heard this, her shoulders trembled violently, and she returned a deep silence.

Mu Wanzhou turned around and left without looking back.

His footsteps were the same as when he came, gently and steadily, and gradually went away.

Xiao Chenying froze on the spot, hearing the footsteps that she loved the most in the past gradually disappear, and finally could not be heard anymore.

For a long time, in the deathly still sky prison, a suppressed sobbing sound erupted, like a sudden glimpse, only a short sound echoed, and the surroundings returned to tranquility.

In the night wind, Mu Wanzhou raised her hand and caressed the black hair on her forehead casually, her steps were steady and resolute.

The dream of Huangliang five years ago has finally come to an end.

But another real togetherness has only just begun.

·

The next day, Xiao Luobei received Master Yunyang in the imperial study and discussed how to deal with Xiao Chenying.

Mu Wanzhou waited with him in the imperial study, with Lu Zhuchuan, Sun Jian and others accompanying him.After waiting for a while, the palace servants reported that Master Yunyang had arrived.

"What Yunyang real person?" His lively voice came from outside the door, "This old man is the Supreme Lord Lian Zhaohua in heaven and earth, nine dragons and swords!"

Immediately afterwards, his light blue robe flashed through the door, still so thin and short, yet full of energy.

He walked slowly into the royal study with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Luobei greeted him sternly: "The real person."

"No need," Master Yunyang waved his hands in a hurry, "I don't like these red tapes the most, so I won't talk nonsense with you. How will Ying'er's matter be decided?"

Xiao Luobei said: "According to the laws and regulations of the Jing Dynasty, it should be executed naturally."

Last night, he already knew the result of the meeting between Mu Wanzhou and Xiao Chenying.Since Xiao Chenying has no regrets, he is also determined not to show mercy.

Master Yunyang sighed: "This child Ying'er was taken in by the old man back then, but I didn't have time to teach him well. I have to bear half of the responsibility for him becoming what he is today. Little Emperor, you are also half of the responsibility! "

Xiao Luobei pondered for a moment and said: "What you said is true, but being born in the emperor's family, you can't avoid or escape from the struggle. I don't regret it!"

Master Yunyang jumped up and said: "Who is discussing with you whether you regret it or not?! The old man said that since you and the old man are both responsible, you can't let him have the final say on his disposal, right?! "

"..." Xiao Luobei was speechless. In the whole world, it was the first time he met someone who made such a deal with him.

But this person is still his benefactor.

"What does the real man want?" He asked in a deep voice, "From my standpoint, I must give an explanation to the people of the world and to the many soldiers who were killed by him. How can I just let him go with you like this?"

Master Yunyang did not back down: "The old man has already said that if you hand him over to the old man, he will definitely scare him more than cutting him off. Don't you believe it?!"

"What's the point of punishing him? Can the person who died because of him be brought back to life?"

"Then if you cut him down, you can't bring the dead back to life?!"

"you……"

"The old man punished him to copy the precepts more than 3000 times a day, and then suppressed the hostility in his body with the Purification Curse. These two things alone are enough for him to suffer! He is afraid that he would rather die than be punished..."

When Lu Zhuchuan heard this, he suddenly choked and coughed.

"Zhuchuan?" Mu Wanzhou patted him on the back with concern.

Lu Zhuchuan looked teasing, and Mu Wanzhou asked curiously: "Do you know those punishments? Are they terrible?"

Lu Zhuchuan nodded slightly: "Well, I was punished by Master when I was young."

"What a terrible way?"

Lu Zhuchuan said: "Punishment copying is already very tiring. It is impossible to complete more than 3000 times of copying every day without expending energy. And the Qingxin Mantra makes people feel as if they are being burned by fire. The feeling, It's worse than death, and the mistakes made by people never dare to make a second time..."

Only then did Mu Wanzhou understand why Xiao Chenying was so scared when she heard that Master Yunyang wanted to punish him every day in Zhenyuan Temple.

Master Yunyang glared and said: "Little emperor, did you hear that?! Chuchuan knows best, how terrible the old man's punishment is!"

Xiao Luobei argued vigorously: "My real man, I'm in a difficult position if you do this!"

Master Yunyang resentfully said: "Little emperor, you are not even willing to agree to a small request from your benefactor?"

"..." Xiao Luobei was about to lose his temper, when he saw the servant of the Ministry of Punishment rushing in hastily.

"My lord! My lord! It's not good..." The servant of the Ministry of punishment came in and fell to his knees.

"Why are you so panicked?" Xiao Luobei raised his hand to make him stand up and speak.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment was sweating profusely: "The traitor Xiao Chenying has already died in the sky prison by severing his meridians!"
