worthless [rebirth]

Standing in front of the palace gate and hearing the approaching footsteps behind him, Chen Ling knew that he had nowhere to escape.Tonight would be his last chance to escape, but he lost it like this.

The number of disappointments is too many, and if you get used to it, there will no longer be such silly and extravagant things as hope existing in your heart.If there is anything left for him at this moment, it should be the memory of humiliation for two full years, and the despair after disappointment.

Gently closing his eyes, Chen Ling's cold face looked extremely pale under the reflection of the moonlight and snow accumulation. His long and dense eyelashes trembled slightly, and the falling snowflakes gradually melted into tiny drops of water on them.His pale lips moved, and Chen Ling said to Xiaotao beside him: "Xiaotao, you can go. This matter tonight has nothing to do with you. He wants to punish him, and I will bear it alone."

"No! Your Highness!" Xiaotao looked back at the soldiers surrounding them in panic. Seeing Jiang Chi's livid face and red eyes turned red from anger, she trembled with fear, but she still shook her head stubbornly: "Xiaotao, don't you?" Let's go, Xiaotao to beg the emperor."

"Don't argue." Jiang Chi walked towards Chen Ling step by step. The snow stepped on his feet and made a "creaking" sound. He had already walked behind Chen Ling, looking at Chen Ling's thin but proud back, and said coolly : "None of you... can leave tonight."

Hearing that cold and heartless voice, Chen Ling's shoulders trembled.

Jiang Chi gave a look, and several soldiers immediately went up to snatch the package from Xiao Tao's hand, and pressed Xiao Tao to the snow-covered ground.

"Jiang Chi!" Xiaotao was arrested, and Chen Ling couldn't bear the feeling of being on the verge of collapse anymore. He called Jiang Chi's name sharply, turned around and glared at Jiang Chi: "How can you let me go!"

"Let you go?" Jiang Chi sneered, "When did I say I would let you go?"

"Jiang Chi...Are you going to force me to death?" Trembling, Chen Ling questioned Jiang Chi word by word.

"Forcing you?" Looking at Chen Ling's pale face, Jiang Chi clasped his shoulders hard, and said coolly: "Obviously you are forcing me! Ziling, what can you do so that you can stay by my side with peace of mind? You know, I can't bear to touch you, so I challenged my bottom line again and again to escape?!"

Chen Ling knew that he couldn't escape.

"Heh...you are reluctant to touch me? Then where did my injuries come from?" Chen Ling sneered, and said coldly, "How can there be things in this world that you, Jiang Chi, are reluctant to part with?"

"Bastard!" Jiang Chi waved his hand angrily, throwing Chen Ling to the ground.

"En!" Chen Ling let out a heavy muffled groan, and before he could recover, he saw Jiang Chi pull Xiao Tao up from the ground, and strangled her tightly by the neck.

"Jiang Chi! What are you doing?!" At that moment, Chen Ling's tone changed. For the first time, he felt scared. He was afraid that Jiang Chi would strangle Xiaotao to death like that.Xiaotao didn't deserve to die, not because of him.

"I'm not willing to touch you, but I can kill the person who wants to take you away." Jiang Chi said slowly, word by word, as cruel as he wanted, like a knife, ruthlessly piercing into Chen Ling's heart .He looked back at Chen Ling, his smile was crazy, and his hands tightened a little bit.

"Uh..." Xiaotao's face turned red and blue a little bit, and she made a few sad voices: "Your Highness...help me..."

"No...don't!" Chen Ling got up from the ground, stumbled to Jiang Chi to break his hand, shook his head and said over and over again: "I am the one who wants to escape...you let her go...Jiang Chi, you Let her go...Xiaotao..."

"What? You can't bear to be a little maid?" Jiang Chi let go of Xiaotao, grabbed Chen Ling's neck, pulled Chen Ling to him, and said slowly, "When did you treat me so well? "

"Uh..." Jiang Chi strangled his neck and lifted him up. Chen Ling couldn't utter any uncomfortable words. He struggled to look at Xiaotao, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that she was able to take a big breath.He would rather Jiang Chi strangle him than get Xiao Tao involved.

Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes because of suffocation, Chen Ling was ashamed, and slowly closed his eyes.Tears dripped down the back of Jiang Chi's hands along his cheeks, as if scorching heat, Jiang Chi shrank his hands and threw the dying Chen Ling out.

"Cough cough! Cough cough!" Chen Ling fell on the ground, sucked in his chest, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why don't you just strangle me to death?"

"I suddenly thought of a way to make you more uncomfortable than killing you." Jiang Chi laughed, his voice tinged with coolness.After winking at the guards, someone immediately pulled Chen Ling back.Jiang Chi took a horsewhip soaked in salt water from a guard and played with it in his hand. He said with a wicked smile, "I beat you with it before, but you would rather bleed than cry out in pain. Now I want to see it." Will this whip hurt someone else?"

"!" Chen Ling's eyes widened in shock. He wanted to rush up to stop Jiang Chi like crazy, but was held down by the guards and couldn't move forward. whip.

"Ah!" Xiaotao yelled out of pain, and every time the whip was whipped, there was a sound of flesh and blood.

Only then did Chen Ling know what it was like to be beaten with a horse whip.It's not like what he used to be, just leaving a red mark or a shallow scar on his body, but it can be drawn into the flesh with a single whip, wishing he could turn the bones out.

"No...don't! Jiang Chi! Stop it! You stop it!" Seeing Xiao Tao lying in the snow covered in blood and bruises, she was in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound, while Jiang Chi was still whipping her whip. He felt that he could no longer recognize everything around him, only the dying Xiao Tao and the blood all over the ground in his eyes.

"Chen Ling! See clearly, this is the price for disobeying me!" Jiang Chi coldly warned Chen Ling while smoking Xiaotao: "I can't hurt you, but it doesn't mean I can't hurt the people you cherish! "

"No...don't..." Chen Ling struggled, he bit the guards' hands like crazy, kicked and hit them, "Let me go! Let me go!"

Seeing a little girl being beaten to death, the guards couldn't bear it, and Chen Ling was struggling so hard that he didn't know who let go first.

After Chen Ling was free, he immediately rushed towards Xiaotao, "Ugh!" A whip fell hard on Chen Ling's shoulder, and the thick cotton coat was ripped apart immediately, leaving a deep whip wound.

Chen Ling was hit so hard with the whip, Jiang Chi's pupils shrank, and the frequency of the whip falling was a little less. He kicked Chen Ling away and said, "Get out!"

Chen Ling rolled over on the ground a few times, his eyes turned black with pain, but he still knelt and crawled to Jiang Chi's feet, reached out his hand to catch the whip that fell from him, and the whip hit his hand, half of his arm was so painful that he lost it After losing consciousness, Chen Ling grabbed Jiang Chi's hem with the other hand so as not to faint.

"Let go!" Jiang Chi looked down at Chen Ling, who was in pain and sweating coldly. He couldn't feel any better than him, but he pulled back the whip cruelly.

"Yeah!" The thorns on the whip pierced into the palm of his hand, and there was another heartache. Chen Ling groaned and knelt on the ground. He held Jiang Chi's clothes with both hands to maintain an upright posture, lowered his head, trembling Pale lips said: "Please...please...please, let her go..."

"!" Jiang Chi's back stiffened, and he took a step back.

Before Chen Ling could let go, she was dragged to the ground, but she still grabbed Jiang Chi's clothes and said in a trembling voice, "Please...please let her go..."

"What did you say?" Jiang Chi couldn't believe his ears. After two years of getting along, he knew how difficult it was for Chen Ling to let go of his dignity. This was the first time Chen Ling bowed his head to him, but it was because of someone else.

"I won't run away again..." Chen Ling said softly, he helped Jiang Chi's legs to get up from the ground bit by bit, every time, the whip wound on his palm left a bloodstain on Jiang Chi's clothes, and finally, He stood up and smiled bleakly under Jiang Chi's shocked gaze.Chen Ling knelt down slowly, put his hands on the ground, and kowtowed heavily: "Jiang Chi, I beg you... let Xiaotao go..."

The horsewhip in Jiang Chi's hand fell to the ground. Seeing Chen Ling kowtow on the ground as if he didn't know the pain, his heart was almost numb from the pain.

"Get up!" Jiang Chi said with a sullen face. He wanted to pull Chu Ling, but he didn't dare. The coldness in Chen Ling's eyes hurt him deeply and made him afraid.

Seeing that Jiang Chi didn't continue beating Xiaotao, Chen Ling kowtowed to Jiang Chi a few more times, muttered, "Thank you...thank you." Then he crawled towards Xiaotao.

Hearing Chen Ling say thank you, Jiang Chi didn't know how to react.He had always wanted to smash all of Chen Ling's pride, but he didn't expect that Chen Ling without pride would make him feel so distressed.Staring in a daze, Chen Ling crawled up to Xiaotao's side and pulled Xiaotao into his arms. Then, he suddenly heard a shrill cry that almost pierced his eardrums.

"Ah!!!!" Chen Ling pulled Xiao Tao up and hugged her in his arms, only to find that Xiao Tao hadn't passed out at all, but was no longer breathing. Chen Ling screamed like crazy, and pushed Xiao Tao away go out.

"What's wrong!" Jiang Chi was startled, and hurried forward to check, only to find that Xiaotao had been beaten to death by himself, his heart sank immediately.

Chen Ling came back to his senses, rushed up to push Jiang Chi away, pulled Xiaotao into his arms again, and yelled sadly: "Don't hit her! Don't hit her! I know I was wrong, I won't run away again …Not anymore…"

"Zi Ling." Jiang Chi knew that Xiaotao's death must have dealt a heavy blow to Chen Ling, so he squatted down, Jiang Chi held Chen Ling in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "She's already dead..."

Chen Ling struggled to keep Jiang Chi from touching him, and pushed him away from Jiang Chi's arms, and fell to the ground, holding Xiao Tao's still warm body in his arms.

Chen Ling lay on the snow with blank eyes, together with the lost Xiaotao.He didn't say a word, didn't cry or make noise, and didn't shout anymore, but when Jiang Chi was about to touch him, he moved slightly to avoid him.

His throat was a little congested, and Chen Ling coughed, but coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Zi Ling!" Jiang Chi was terrified, regardless of whether Chen Ling was resisting, he picked him up from the ground, ran quickly to the bedroom, and shouted: "Call the imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor!"

Leaning in Jiang Chi's arms, Chen Ling let the blood flow from the corner of his mouth. His lips moved, he smiled coolly, and said silently, "Jiang Chi... I don't want to run away from now on... I want to die..."
