When Xiao Chen returned to the prison, Ding Xihou was already lying flat on the ground, dying.
Except for the wound on his ankle, his whole body was intact.
What hurts him is his heart.
"What's the matter? The Marquis still hasn't remembered that your fake edict is above?" Looking at everything in the cell, Xiao Chen smiled and squatted beside Ding Xihou.
Lying on the ground with his eyes closed and his hands on his chest, standing upright like a dead man, Ding Xihou seemed to have not heard Xiao Chen's questions at all.
Not in a hurry, Xiao Chen stood up slowly and turned to look at Du Shaoqin, who was covered in blood next to him.
"Do the family members have any valuable confessions?"
Du Shaoqin shook his head in embarrassment: "No. These family members don't know anything about everything. If you want to get the fake imperial edict, you can only pry open his mouth."
As he said that, he turned his head and looked fiercely at Ding Xihou, who was pretending to be dead on the ground.
"How many family members are left?"
"Only one is left, the cold-spoken Wang. The others were all killed."
"Other people have no weight in Ding Xihou's heart." Xiao Chen smiled lightly and said, "Bring Wang in."
"Yes." Du Shaoqin nodded and shouted outside, "Bring Wang in."
Upon hearing these words, Ding Xihou's eyelids on the ground moved a few times, but he never opened them.
Outside the cell, Wang crossed his arms and walked in gently.
Xiao Chen made a special request and did not tie Wang's hands, so that even in prison, she still maintained the solemnity of the Marquis's wife.
When she saw Xiao Chen, Wang did not kneel down and beg for mercy like Li did.
Instead, he squatted down slightly and saluted: "This slave has met Mr. Dongchang."
"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded lightly, "Madam is not afraid of danger, she is really like everyone."
Wang smiled faintly, raised her right hand, and tucked the messy hair behind her ears: "The Marquis's house has been confiscated, and my family members are destined to die. Whether you are afraid or not, there is no way to escape this disaster. Look away.
, and there will be no fear in my heart.”
"What Madam said makes sense. For the crime of rebellion, not to mention your family, even the nine clans will be implicated. The Marquis has lost all hope and is lying on the ground with his eyes closed waiting to die. As a husband and wife, take this opportunity to say what you need to say.
Said, if the emperor agrees, I can execute you both, which can be regarded as continuing your dream of flying together."
With a smile on his face, Xiao Chen's words sounded very considerate.
"This slave has thanked you, sir."
"No need to say thank you for your hard work, go ahead." Raising his right hand, Xiao Chen pointed at Ding Xihou lying on the ground.
Saluting Xiao Chen again, Wang slowly walked to Dingxihou's side and lowered her body.
He stretched out his left hand, as white as an onion, and gently placed it on Ding Xihou's forehead: "Master, my servant is here with you."
Full of fear, full of anger, and all the powerlessness exploded at this moment.
Dingxi Hou stretched out his hands, hugged Wang's knees, said "Wow" and burst into tears.
Perhaps because he lost control of his emotions, he couldn't control the strength of his hands. His nails dug deeply into Wang's muscles, and traces of blood seeped out along the nails.
Wang was like a wooden man, with a loving smile still on her face, gently stroking Ding Xihou's gray hair, and letting him wail loudly.
After looking at the blood seeping between Ding Xihou's nails and the calm smile on Wang's face, Xiao Chen waved his hand and led everyone to stand outside the cell door.
After a long time, Dingxihou's cries gradually became quieter, and the nails digging into Wang's muscles gradually loosened.
"Master, you are the backbone of the family. No matter when you cry, can we just stand and cry?" Wang's voice was soft and gentle.
"I, I can't stand up anymore, my hamstrings have been cut off by them." Ding Xihou choked with sobs as he wiped away the tears on his face.
"If you can't stand up, then let's sit up. Sit up with your chest held out."
"Okay, okay. I'll sit up."
With that said, Ding Xihou began to turn around hard.
"My slave, help you." Wang stood up and wanted to help the other party.
But he couldn't help but staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Holding the wall of the cell, he bent down, wiped away the blood that seeped out from under his blue skirt, rubbed it against the wall a few times, and then walked towards Dingxihou.
He put his hands under Ding Xihou's armpits from behind and used all his strength to finally help him up.
Drag Ding Xihou to the corner and let it lean against the wall.
He slowly crossed his legs and sat opposite Ding Xihou.
She straightened her skirt and pulled it forward to cover the unwiped blood on her leg bowl. She looked at Ding Xihou quietly with a smile.
"Madam, I'm afraid we are in doom this time." Looking at the extremely calm Wang in front of him, a trace of guilt appeared on Ding Xihou's face.
Her eyes didn't dare to look directly at her, and she dodged Wang's gaze from left to right.
"Everything is destined. Since it is inevitable to escape, we will not escape." The smile on Wang's face showed no trace of fear.
"You don't blame me?"
"Why should I blame you?"
"If I hadn't secretly hidden arms and been punished by the emperor for treason, how could I have ended up like this? How could I have dragged my family to death?"
As he spoke, Ding Xihou's old tears couldn't help but flow down again.
With a smile on his face, Wang raised his right hand and gently wiped away the other person's tears: "What man doesn't have the ambition to dominate? However, we just failed."
"You don't blame me?" Ding Xihou was stunned.
This ambition of mine has always been buried deep in my heart and I have never told anyone about it.
He was afraid of not getting support, but because of fear, he went to the imperial court to hide his secrets.
However, Wang's words made Ding Xihou feel even more ashamed.
The woman who was as guarded as an enemy actually recognized what she had done.
"If the master is willing to be ordinary and be the prince that everyone admires, and wholeheartedly work for the welfare of the people, my slaves will follow you and work for the people together. If the master wants to raise an army to conquer the world and dominate one area, my slaves will also be willing to serve you.
, no regrets. The right way is to marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog. Since I marry the master, I will support all the decisions of the master."
Wang's face was filled with a smile, and her eyes were as curved as two crescent moons.
And the full sense of happiness can be compared to that of a newlywed young couple.
"Madam," Ding Xihou stretched out his hands and grabbed Wang's wrist, "I have you in this life, even death is enough."
Mrs. Wang nodded and responded to Dingxi Hou's affectionate words: "We are about to die together. Before we die, can you let me die in peace?"
"Um."
"You poisoned Kuan'er to death?"
Ding Xihou's hands froze, he thought for a moment, let go of Wang's wrist, and took it back.
"yes."
"Why did the master do this? Is Kuan'er not supporting your decision and disobeying your wishes, or are you afraid that he will not be able to bear the punishment in prison and will surrender you?"
"Both." Dingxihou could no longer look directly into Wang's eyes and lowered his head in shame.
It is said that a tiger cannot eat its venom, but his behavior is not only vicious, but also extremely selfish.
"When the master went out, he didn't bring any poison with him. What did you give Kuan'er?"
"Pinellia."
"Is this the pinellia powder that my slave brought with you so that when you couldn't fall asleep, you could smell it and fall asleep peacefully?"
"yes."
With his head lowered, Dingxihou at this moment wished that there would be a gap in the ground for him to slip into.
"Unexpectedly, the soothing medicine that the slave gave you turned out to be Kuan'er's life-saving talisman." Wang smiled bitterly, "Kuan'er emptied Gongchang Mansion's food reserves, causing the death and injury of more than half of the tens of millions of refugees. It is a crime he committed.
There is no way he can escape death. By sending him on his way, I have done what a qualified father should do. Although I feel sad, I will never resent the master for this."
Ding Xihou's face twitched.
His vicious deeds turned out to be righteous deeds from Wang's mouth.
If she scolded herself, she would feel better.
But she tried every possible means to excuse herself, but she felt heartbroken and regretted endlessly.
Xiao Chen outside the cell also sighed secretly in his heart.
This Dingxihou is despicable and vicious, how could he have such a wife who knows right from wrong.
