A gloomy dungeon, a lifeless body that looks like a dead body. The air is filled with the smell of blood, not the old rotten stench that seems to have been settled for hundreds of years, but the smell of fresh blood.
When Phantom entered the prison, he felt this way for the first time.
He is a killer, he can easily distinguish the smell of blood and putrid smell.
"Xichen!"
He found the cell where Xue Xichen was held, and what he saw was the miserable sight of Xue Xichen lying in a cold and dank cell with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. Her body was filled with silence, and she was completely plunged into darkness. If it weren't for her ups and downs,
Chest, he almost thought this person was dead.
"Xichen, what's wrong with you!"
After frantically looking for a way to open the cell door, Phantom looked anxiously at the pale woman in the cage, her worry palpable.
It seemed that he heard it, but he didn't seem to hear it. Phantom vaguely felt that Xue Xichen seemed to move, but because her movements were too slight, before he could see clearly, she lay there lifelessly again.
"Xichen!"
Phantom finally opened the cell door. He hurried to the sky prison, knelt down beside Xue Xichen, and held up Xue Xichen's broken body with trembling hands. The blood on her clothes was shocking. He looked at her limp and hanging arms, shocked.
Di asked: "Xichen, your arm..."
"film……"
Her throat was hoarse and so dry that it felt like it was on fire. Xue Xichen reluctantly opened her eyes, and through the messy hair, she saw Phantom staring at her with worry and unblinking eyes.
"Xichen, I'm here! I'm here!"
Phantom held Xue Xichen's hand, but found that her arm was dislocated and she couldn't use her strength. Just when he was about to ask who did it, he heard Xue Xichen's voice as thin as a mosquito's fly, "Ying... help me...
Arm...attached..."
"Xichen, who did this?"
While Phantom carefully connected Xue Xichen's arm, using the lightest force to avoid hurting her, she still heard Xue Xichen groan and sweat profusely, which showed that she was suffering from great pain.
He was heartbroken and asked eagerly, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "Xichen, who hurt you?"
"Ying... don't ask..."
All the strength had been exhausted in that seemingly endless torture. Xue Xichen was so weak that she was covered in cold sweat and could not use any extra strength to answer the Phantom's question.
"Ying...how did you get in..."
"There is no place in the world that can trouble me!"
Hearing Phantom's arrogant and domineering declaration, Xue Xichen couldn't help but laugh. She asked: "Ying...are you here to save me..."
Phantom picked up Xue Xichen and said seriously: "Xichen, I don't believe you will collude with the Netherworld Gu Queen! However, without finding conclusive evidence, I have no way to prove your innocence! I won't
I want you to be locked up in a prison and waiting to die, I want to rescue you!"
"Shadow... Jie Tian Prison... is a big crime..."
"The Phantom is alone and fearless!"
"Ying...you are Feng Qingge's secret guard..."
"No longer!" Phantom said seriously with stern eyes, "The emperor has given Phantom back his freedom! From the day Phantom is free, Phantom's life belongs only to Xue Xichen!"
"film……"
A bitter smile appeared on her lips. Xue Xichen was very touched. When she was in the most critical moment, there was someone who was willing to believe in her and risk his own life to save her. She had always known Phantom's thoughts, but she had never done anything to him.
She had never responded in any way, and even said such cold-blooded words to him... Xue Xichen felt that she was cruel, and she felt that she did not deserve to be treated so sincerely by Phantom.
"Ying...even if you don't save me, I won't blame you..."
Phantom held Xue Xichen's shoulders and said with sincere eyes: "But I will blame myself! I will blame myself for clearly watching the woman I love waiting to die, but I am actually afraid and holding back, not daring to come.
Save her!"
"Shadow... aren't you afraid of death..."
"Xichen, even if I die, I will die with you!"
This was not the only sweet word she had ever heard in her life, but it was the one that moved her the most among all the sweet words. It was so simple, so simple, from the bottom of her heart, and sincere. Xue Xichen felt that she had no regrets in this life.
To have someone treat her so sincerely, she would be satisfied even if she died right now.
"Shadow...will you regret it?"
"Phantom never regrets anything she does!"
"Ying... you know... I love Feng Qingge... I can't give you the feelings you want..."
Phantom put on a straight face and replied dully: "I know!"
"Even so, Ying, do you still insist on saving me?"
Phantom took a deep breath, as if he had made his final determination, and stubbornly answered Xue Xichen, "We are lifelong confidants and drinking buddies!"
Hearing this answer, Xue Xichen felt relieved.
"Yeah...we are lifelong confidants and drinking buddies..."
"Xichen, I will carry you away!"
"Ying...it's easy for you to enter and exit the prison by yourself, but if you bring me as a burden,..."
"Xichen, don't talk nonsense! I won't leave you alone!"
"film……"
There were chaotic footsteps at the door. Phantom and Xue Xichen looked at each other. Phantom quickly put down Xue Xichen, jumped out of the cell, locked the cell door, then jumped up to the beam, lurked on the beam, and quietly observed below.
status.
While Xue Xichen stretched his newly connected arm, he secretly adjusted his inner breath, and found that the breath flowed smoothly, and the acupuncture points restricted by the Netherworld Gu had been unlocked. While Xue Xichen adjusted his breath and calmed his mind, he looked at the direction from which the sound came.
, quietly waiting for the next uninvited guest.
"The Emperor has a decree!"
The eunuch held it high, and the bright imperial edict dazzled Xue Xichen's eyes. Xue Xichen stared in disbelief, wondering what new ideas Feng Qingge, who had just tortured her, had come up with to continue torturing her.
The eunuch unfolded the imperial edict with both hands and said loudly: "By God's blessing, the emperor summoned me to say that the citizen girl Xue Xichen had an affair with the palace Wei, colluded with the rebellious party, and assassinated the emperor. She committed a heinous crime. Now I will give you a cup of poisonous wine and three feet of white silk. Xue Xichen
, it’s your choice!”
Death?!
Xue Xichen was shocked and stared at the eunuch who announced the decree in disbelief. Until the three-foot white silk and the poisonous wine were presented to her, she still had not recovered from the shock in front of her.
Give her death?! Feng Qingge actually gave her death?!
Xue Xichen felt extremely sarcastic and ridiculed!
Feng Qingge, are you so impatient to want me to die?!
The eunuch put away the imperial edict and ordered angrily, "Xue Xichen, hurry up and make your choice! After you die, the Sa family will have to go back to reply to the edict!"
Choose? How to choose? Poison wine or Bai Ling? No! She doesn’t want to choose!
Her revenge has not been avenged, how could she die!
No! She doesn’t want to die! She doesn’t want to die! She doesn’t want to die yet——
