Du Zhenghai was imprisoned in a cell in the back garden of Houye Mansion.
His hair was disheveled, his face was pale, his body was stained with blood, and his hands and feet were covered with chains.
Occasionally, a glimmer of light would flash in his empty eyes, like a small flame that could flicker and extinguish at any time. There was a faint, strange look that made his dull expression look a bit ferocious and terrifying.
After an inexplicably long and boring wait, the door of the cell was opened, and Princess Changqing walked in slowly, surrounded by Biyun and Yancui's maids.
Du Zhenghai said nothing, and his cold eyes only looked at the other party's somewhat red and swollen eyes indifferently.
Princess Changqing wore a moon-white gown with several scarlet wintersweet flowers embroidered on it. Her face was as cold as snow on the mountains, and she had a graceful and elegant temperament.
The dim firelight in the cell swayed her pale and haggard face, like a pear tree overwhelmed by wind and rain, beautiful and fragile.
At this time, she seemed to be walking on the wheel of fate. She had tried to change her destiny but was unable to do anything. She could only walk step by step according to her destiny.
In Du Zhenghai's imagination, this supreme beauty, the current princess, should be so beautiful, noble and arrogant; but the lady standing in front of him looked miserable, broken, and pitiful - he couldn't help but feel a rise in his heart A mystery.
Princess Chang Qing looked at him silently and finally said, "Are you... Zhichao's friend?"
Du Zhenghai said expressionlessly: "That's right."
Princess Chang Qing murmured: "Really...?..."
Du Zhenghai said: "Because he is still the son of the enemy who killed my father."
Princess Chang Qing's heart twitched painfully, "After all, it was He Yuting's enemy who caused the evil. Why..."
Du Zhenghai sighed softly and asked, "How is Ling Yun doing now?"
Princess Chang Qing's eyes were shattered for a moment, and she said incoherently: "I don't know... I hurt him. I shouldn't believe He Yuting's lies. I deceived him... I was too stupid..." Afterwards, she had already I burst into tears.
Du Zhenghai felt sad for a while and just looked at her silently.
It took Princess Changqing a while to stop her sorrow, and said with a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Du, I lost my temper. It's embarrassing to say that we parents are worse than outsiders in the end...
"You can risk your life to help him and save him; but apart from causing him trouble or even hurting him, what can I do for him?"
Du Zhenghai twitched his lips and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Princess, you are serious. How can we untouchables be compared with the supreme prince and princess? We will not play tricks, let alone rely on the power in our hands. It caused wives and children to be separated, families to be destroyed, and even people were chased and killed..."
He spoke unhurriedly, as if he was saying something innocuous, but every word was like a knife, piercing her heart.
Princess Chang Qing trembled: "Stop talking!... I also know that He Yuting and I have done many things that I'm sorry for you in the past. Now I don't ask for your forgiveness. I just want to do my best to make a little difference." compensation."
"Compensation, can you compensate me?" Du Zhenghai rolled his eyes contemptuously, "Besides, who knows whether what you said is true or false?"
Princess Chang Qing's heart trembled, and she was speechless.
Du Zhenghai's unprecedented anger welled up in his heart, and he looked at her with burning eyes and said, "Now even biological parents can deceive and even betray their own sons. Who else do you think I dare to trust in this world?"
Princess Chang Qing stayed for a moment, clutching her chest tightly. The heartbreaking pain made it difficult for her to breathe.
She was in a daze, and her delicate figure was shaky. If the maids on both sides hadn't supported her in time, she would have almost fallen to the ground.
She knew that no matter what she said now, Du Zhenghai would not believe it. Is all this retribution?
She covered her face with her hands, staggered and rushed out as if running away.
Princess Chang Qing left, and Du Zhenghai weakly leaned his tired body against the cold wall of the cell.
Thinking of Princess Chang Qing's sad tears and painful expression, he couldn't help but twist his eyebrows into a tight knot, and murmured to himself: "Could it be that Princess Chang Qing really didn't know about this matter at the beginning, and was just betrayed by that hypocrite He Yuting? Have you been deceived and taken advantage of?"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought to himself: "Now that Ling Yun has fallen into the hands of Tian Xiao, it is bound to be a disaster; and he fell into He Yuting's conspiracy and was imprisoned, and his life will not be saved. Thinking about this again What’s the use of trivial things?”…
The dark sky exhaled the breath of boredom; there was no wind around, and all that could be smelled in the tip of the nose was the smell of earth. The whole world was filled with damp oppression, and the air seemed to be stifling, making people suffocating. Don't get angry.
Several days passed in a row.
On this day, when Du Zhenghai heard the "click" of the cell door, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately and was replaced by deep hatred, because at this time, he saw He Yuting .
He Yuting was accompanied by steward He Luwei, martial artist Asan and others, as well as dozens of guards and servants, all holding sharp blades, with ferocious faces and murderous intent in their eyes.
Taking one look at this posture, Du Zhenghai understood something in his heart.
He didn't speak, his bloodshot eyes were as scarlet as a ghost, and he only stared sadly at the blood-sea enemy in front of him who he wished he could kill with a thousand knives.
He Yuting avoided his sharp eyes and sighed softly: "Du Zhenghai, in fact, from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to hurt you, but some things cannot be controlled by human will, just like the relationship between you and me. To resolve grudges and grudges, unless one person dies first - and that person is either you or me."
"What kind of chastity arch does a despicable person want to erect?" Du Zhenghai's face turned blue, his eyes widened with anger, and he gritted his teeth.
"He Yuting, since you can just speak out if you want to kill people, why do you pretend to be compassionate? Is there anyone more hypocritical and shameless than you in this world? I only blame Du for being so obedient. I cannot avenge this deep hatred in this life. If there is an afterlife..."
"Tell him to shut up." He Yuting's gloomy face was very ugly, and his obsidian eyes were filled with a soul-stirring cold luster. He turned his face to He Luwei.
When Lord Marquis speaks, who dares to disobey? He Luwei agreed hurriedly. A cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, murderous intent was everywhere, and he sternly ordered Ah San and others: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you send him on his way!"
Ah San's eyes were turbulent with evil intent, and he responded with a low "Yes", then turned his eyes fiercely and gestured to the left and right.
Several wolf-like guards rushed forward and grabbed Du Zhenghai without any explanation; the other guards had already set up the gallows, put on the ropes, and pushed Du Zhenghai onto the execution stand. shelf. …
At this time, a woman's deep voice was heard saying: "Stop!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw a figure at the door of the cell. Princess Changqing and Princess Huanyu walked in, surrounded by more than a dozen maids.
The person who just shouted to stop was Princess Changqing.
Ah San, He Luwei and others hurriedly paid tribute to Princess Changqing and Princess Huanyu.
Princess Chang Qing snorted and seemed too lazy to pay attention to them.
She walked directly to He Yuting, her eyes as cold as ice, tightly grasping his twinkling and hesitant eyes, and said in an unquestionable tone: "He Yuting, I don't allow you to hurt this person, let him go immediately!"
He Yuting was startled, then he smiled apologetically at Princess Chang Qing and said, "Princess, do you know who he is? You must not let go of this person!"
Princess Chang Qing sneered and said: "It is precisely because I already know who he is that I asked you to let him go. He Yuting, do you still think that the sin you have committed is not deep enough? Their family is already miserable enough, are you really Do you want to kill them all?"
He Yuting was speechless for a moment.
He Luwei said cautiously: "Princess, actually the Marquis had no choice but to do this! The Marquis had no intention of hurting him. It was this brat who sought death on his own and dared to assassinate the Marquis - if we didn't kill him, he would He will come to kill us, so this person must not be left here!"
Princess Changqing's eyebrows stood up, her eyes widened, and she scolded: "Bold slave, do you have the right to speak here? Why don't you back down!"
Being scolded mercilessly by the hostess, He Lu was immediately speechless and embarrassed, so he had no choice but to retreat to the side.
Princess Chang Qing turned to Ah San and said, "Ah San, follow my order and put Du Zhenghai down immediately!"
There was a moment of stagnation on Ah San's face. He hesitated for a moment and turned his gaze to He Yuting for advice.
He Yuting sighed softly and said: "Didn't you hear what the princess said? Let her go."
Ah San had no choice but to sigh feebly, and ordered the guards on his left and right to lower Du Zhenghai from under the gallows.
Princess Chang Qing turned her face, looked at Du Zhenghai with tears in her eyes and said, "Master Du, leave quickly. Leave the capital forever and never come back."
"As expected of the princess of the dynasty, worthy of being the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, and worthy of being Ling Yun's biological mother - she is indeed decisive and resolute in killing, but it's a pity that she was born at the wrong time, met with unkind people, and lives are not strong. …”
Du Zhenghai silently glanced at Princess Chang Qing, feeling quite sad in his heart. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out.
"There is an assassin!..." At this moment, Ah San's expression suddenly changed, and he flashed his long sword. The guards on both sides also had their swords unsheathed, as if facing a powerful enemy.
But he saw a gray figure that was as fast as lightning and as powerful as a startling dragon, and he was in front of everyone in just a flash.
The guards on both sides came forward with their swords in hand, but the sound of the man's roar was as chilling as an owl's.
The man had silver hair on his temples and was covered in gray clothes. Judging from his appearance, he should be an old woman of about sixty years old.
With a seemingly random swing of the sword in her hand, the sky was filled with stars, and more than a dozen guards screamed and fell to the ground wailing in pain.
He Yuting was also shocked and stunned.
Du Zhenghai hadn't taken a few steps when he saw an opportunity and suddenly his mind changed. A crane shot up into the sky, his body shook so hard that he lifted it up and flew in front of He Yuting after several somersaults.
In a flash of cold light, Leng Sensen's long sword had already crossed He Yuting's neck!
