Wu Jiayi was secretly shocked by Wen Yuyin's straightforward provocation. He slowly walked forward, looked at her and said sincerely:
"Miss Wen, I owe you the lives of the Wen family. I know that my life is not enough to repay it. I don't deny it. I want to protect the selfishness of other innocent people in the Wu family. I just want to tell you that up to now, I have no regrets for you.
I will no longer struggle to defend the crimes committed by the Wen family. If you want, you can kill me yourself right now. I just ask you to let everything stop here!"
Wen Gongyin listened to his eager words to end everything, and she was not at all pleased. She said:
"I wish I could kill you with my own hands as soon as possible. It used to be my dream wish, but now, I suddenly am not so anxious to watch you die. I should let you live to see the tragic situation of your Wu family tree falling down and the hozen animals scattering.
Only when I see your father's disgrace and disgrace...can I truly take revenge."
"One person does something and another person is responsible. This is a capital crime committed by me and has nothing to do with my family. Please stop and let this hatred end!"
Wen Yuyin was silent and looked at Wu Jiayi, but her eyes were a little more angry.
Just when Wu Jiayi was overwhelmed by her look, Wen Gongyin coldly mocked:
"Wu Jiayi, what you said makes me ashamed. Your family is human. Are my family not human? Do they deserve to die?"
Wu Jiayi was immediately ashamed. He couldn't even say sorry, because no matter how much he said sorry, it was all in vain.
When Wen Gongyin saw that he was silent, she pressed harder and said:
"You are so eager to die and end everything, which makes me even more sure that there must be a secret behind your frame-up of my family."
"There is no hidden secret. I am indeed the sinner of your Wen family."
"No, you are not... at least, you will not be the one who maliciously framed the Wen family from the beginning."
Wen Jingyin never thought that one day she would lessen her hatred for Wu Jiayi! But she was unwilling to take a mistake for granted. If he was not the cause of the crime, she would not treat him unfairly.
Wu Jiayi couldn't understand why Wen Yuyin suddenly released a rational dialogue to him. Didn't she already believe that he was an unforgivable evil person? Wouldn't it be over if she continued to think so until he was sentenced to death?
But the look in her eyes... the way she looked at him seemed to have changed, as if she didn't actually want to hate him, but why?
This time, Lun arrived at Wen Gongyin and was made uncomfortable by Wu Jiayi, but she hid her secret embarrassment and continued:
"Wu Jiayi, you are probably wondering why I still come to you to question the so-called truth after everything has happened. In fact, I am also confused about my own thoughts, but your behavior made me suspicious."
"What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that if you insist on your innocence from beginning to end, I will have no doubt that you are a heinous person. But you pleaded guilty..."
"Isn't this what you want?"
"But you are not the real murderer!"
"you……?"
"I'm not the only one who thinks so. Prince Hao and Your Majesty both know it. Otherwise, how could Your Majesty just imprison you without convicting you?"
"I don't know what doubts your Majesty and Prince Hao still have, and I don't know what evidence you have to say this. Anyway, I sincerely plead guilty. I can kill or behead you as you wish."
Wu Jiayi turned his back to express that he had nothing to say, but Wen Yuyin did not intend to give up. She calmed down her uneasy mind, then looked at Wu Jiayi's back and said:
"Prince Hao said that you tried to intercede for the Wen family at the last moment after the late emperor's order. People who served the late emperor also said that you were in a state that clearly did not know that the Wen family was on the list. In other words, the list of the Wen family
You didn't add it privately, right?"
Wu Jiayi thought there was nothing to explain, but Wen Jianyin's reasonable question forced him to turn around and respond to Wen Jianyin:
"At that time, the late emperor was angry and the situation was chaotic. Those who served the late emperor did not pay much attention to my state. Even if they did, they were wrong. Because the list of Wen family was added impulsively by me to vent my personal anger. Because
It was impulsive, so I woke up at the last moment. But I can no longer reverse the consequences of Wen's execution..." Wu Jiayi sighed quietly: "You don't need me to explain what happens next, right?"
"Your answer is very reasonable. Because it is too reasonable, and because you are too eager to end everything with your life, so... I don't believe you even more."
"If you don't believe it, do you want to forgive me, the enemy who killed your closest relative with my own hands?"
Wu Jiayi reminded her again that no matter what the cause was, it was a fact that her family died under his sword. For this reason alone, he was her enemy, wasn't he?
"No! I won't forgive you, but I must also know the cause and effect. All the grief I endured is to restore Wen's innocence. But if I don't understand it, just taking your life will be regarded as revenge, then
It's like my family feud has not been avenged, and our Wen family has not been rectified!"
Of course she would settle the matter with him after he killed her closest relative, but she couldn't just ignore the source of the Wen family's tragic injustice.
"Miss Wen, what are you still obsessed with? Are you planning to see another family pay the price of hundreds of innocent lives in order to relieve your hatred?"
"I once swore that the purpose of my life is to make your Wu family pay for their lives one life, one clan for another..." Wen Gongyin paused slightly:
"But now, I have no intention of asking your family to bury me with the Wen family. But I need the truth, and I need to see the really damned people pay the due price...!"
Wen Yingyin didn't know when she had reversed the oath engraved in her bones! Maybe it was because she didn't have a cruel heart after all, not to mention that she had the means to destroy the entire Wu family, and the Wen family also ceased to exist. She
Why should we cling to the cruelty of "changing one clan for another"?
However, Wu Jiayi wanted to cover up the truth and bear the responsibility alone, and she would never let him do so!
Wu Jiayi was actually surprised. He didn't expect Wen Yuyin to be so calm when facing him now. He also understood her wishes more clearly because of this!
However, his determination to take on everything by himself did not change. He looked at Wen Yin and repeated:
"The late Emperor was worried that he would not have much time, so he gave the list to me in advance for safekeeping. Therefore, I had the best opportunity to add the Wen family to the list. At that time, no one knew what I had done. This is the whole truth. Believe it or not.
It’s up to you.”
Wen Yuyin knew that it was impossible for Wu Jiayi to take the initiative to tell the truth, and she didn't want to waste any more time asking.
However, before leaving, she said equally firmly:
"Wu Jiayi, it is true that you are guilty of our Wen family, but the person who deserves death is your father. It has nothing to do with me that you want to die for your father, but I will not give up pursuing your father's crime because of your death.
.I can tell you with certainty that for the rest of my life, my next target will be your father. I will never give up until he pays for the Wen family with his life!"
Wen Yingyin's words were more like a vow. She strengthened herself and shocked Wu Jiayi...!
After leaving Tianlao and returning to the palace, Wen Gongyin, who was too depressed to be happy, soon forgot about his worries because Dongling Yuanhao sent Xiahou Yiyun back.
Everyone in the palace was only concerned about whether Xia Hou Yiyun was good or bad. But Dongling Yuanhao, who was also dirty and a little unkempt, was left aside as if no one saw him.
However, just for a moment, after Xiahou Chunyan was sure that his sister was not in danger, he immediately turned back to Dongling Yuanhao and said gratefully:
"Prince Hao, I will keep your great kindness in mind. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you twice as much."
Now it seems that although Xia Houyiyun was injured, if it weren't for Dongling Yuanhao, I'm afraid she would have been more than just injured.
"Prince, please don't say that. It's my responsibility that something happens to your sister. After all, I took her out."
Regardless of whether Dongling Yuanhao was responsible for Xiahou Yiyun's accident, Xiahou Chunyan had no intention of blaming him at this time.
On the contrary, seeing Dongling Yuanhao's unkempt appearance, he asked kindly:
"Prince Hao, would you like to freshen up and change into clean clothes before returning to the palace?"
In the past few days, he was worried about Xiahou Yiyun's safety, and Dongling Yuanyong was probably equally worried about Dongling Yuanhao.
He really didn't feel too sorry that his precious little brother, who had always been so beautiful, had turned into such a "suffering" miserable state in order to protect his sister.
However, Xiahou Chunyan's kindness was immediately politely rejected by Dongling Yuanhao:
"No, I won't change it anymore. If I change it, it won't be easy for me to act in a while."
"What does this mean...?"
"Hehe... It will be safer if I go back to see my brother in such misery!"
Dongling Yuanhao's evil smile showed obvious calculations. When he took Xia Houyiyun out of the mountain forest, the clothes on his body lost the nobility of the Chinese clothes, and his face and hair were naturally unkempt.
Come into view!
But this was exactly the tragic situation that Dongling Yuanhao needed. He didn't care about Xiahou Chunyan's doubts, and rushed back to the palace in such a "miserable" manner.
The first place he went to was Longtai Palace. Dongling Yuanyong had already received the news that he had returned to the imperial city safely.
Therefore, when Dongling Yuanhao appeared in front of him with no missing arms or legs, he was not at all excited. On the contrary, seeing that he looked like a beggar, he subconsciously reprimanded:
"What does a dignified prince look like, but his clothes are disheveled?"
Dongling Yuanhao was not surprised that Dongling Yuanyong would scold him, he had expected it anyway.
But he pretended that he didn't see Dongling Yuanyong's dissatisfaction. He rushed to the trough where Dongling Yuanyong was sitting and sat down. Then he reached out and grabbed the snacks and fruits placed on the trough and wolfed them down, as if he was
I haven't had any water or rice for several days, so I'm starving...!
After he ate a plate of snacks and drank two glasses of water, he pitifully asked Dongling Yuanyong:
"Brother Emperor, you must be worried about me these days, right?"
"Of course I'm worried..." Dongling Yuanyong's unwavering face gave a "meaningful" faint smile: "You are my favorite emperor's brother. If something happens to you, how can I be willing to see you suffer?"
Dongling Yuanyong's seemingly caring words did not make Dongling Yuanhao feel happy at all, but made him feel cold all over!
He knew that he might not get any good results this time!
