Reborn from the ashes: Deadly Concubine

Chapter 228 Wish Granted: The Calm Death Row Inmate

Zhuo Zhuo turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Ji, who nodded to her, and she walked into the cell.The bedless stone house exudes a stench.A person was leaning against the stone wall with his head drooping. If he had known in advance that this was the prison of Nanmen Yongli, Zhuo Zhuo would never have guessed that he was the majestic general in the past.

She was already so thin that the wounds left by the torture were still clearly visible, and some places could not heal, and pus flowed out.Zhuo Zhuo covered her mouth, she had no personal grievances with Nanmen Yongli, although he had dispatched troops to murder her, but after seeing such a scene, Zhuo Zhuo no longer hated him.He has been punished as he deserves, why should he hate?

"General Nanmen, I'm here to see you, don't you want to look up at me?"

Hearing Zhuo Zhuo's voice, Nanmen Yongli tried his best to raise his head, his eyes were extraordinarily big on his skinny face.His chapped lips lifted, and he actually laughed.

"Ms. Zhuo Zhuo, you are still as beautiful as ever."

Their gazes collided in mid-air, their hearts were magnanimous, so they were fearless, their firm gazes were on the same level, and neither of them had the slightest bit of guard in their eyes.

"I was surprised to learn that you are from Han Qingjian."

"I once sent someone to kill you, you should hate me very much, right?"

"It's strange to say that I have never hated you, maybe because there is no hatred between us, and you want me to die, but you just obey Han Qingjian. Besides, you have to pay the price for it, Why should I be resentful?"

Nanmen Yongli smiled again, if it wasn't for his current appearance, this smile would be the same as before, his innocence is not just pretending, his appearance is just like that.Unfortunately, his heart is not pure enough.

"Although I know you didn't come here to comfort me, I'm still very happy to hear what you said. Lady Zhuo Zhuo, although I designed to frame you and the Second Highness, as you said, I was just obeying orders. I'm sorry You and the Second Highness have never had any hatred. Even, I quite like you. We all like you, You Moqiong, Gongye, and Xuanyuan. After all, you are a charming woman, and I just want to set you up His Majesty, who is dead, actually likes you..."

"Han Qingjian, you still call him Your Highness? He has been arrested and locked up in this prison."

"I know……"

Zhuo Zhuo frowned slightly: "After the Piaoxiang Tavern, he completely abandoned you. Not only did he not try to save you, but he tried his best to get rid of you. Do you know this too?"

Nanmen Yongli raised his head, closed his frightening eyes, his dry hair slid down the sides of his face with his movements, revealing the outline of his entire face, really a skeleton.

"I know……"

Zhuo Zhuo's eyes were half-closed, and his eyes flickered because of excitement: "In this case, why do you still keep your mouth shut for him? Even if you are tortured, you will not betray the person who abandoned you?!"

Nanmen Yongli looked at Zhuo Zhuo again, those dry hair covered his cheeks again: "You came here just to ask this?"

"answer me."

Nanmen Yongli looked at the bright light behind Zhuo Zhuo, his eyes were deep and deep, he didn't look like a prisoner who had been tortured and was about to be killed, but more like a hermit living in the mountains and forests.

"Why? Because I made an oath, and the oath will not be changed by betrayal. An oath is an oath."

Zhuo Zhuo fixedly looked at Nanmen Yongli, for a long time, she sighed.

It cannot be denied that Han Qingjian has a good eye for people, that's why he was able to get away with a series of mistakes later.It's just a pity that Nanmen Yongli followed such a jackal.

"If it weren't for this situation, if the two of us were just acquaintances, after hearing what you said, I would want to become good friends with you."

Nanmen Yongli laughed aloud, his smile seemed to be happy and wry: "Ms. Zhuo Zhuo is still the same as before, she always likes to play tricks on me."

"I'm not teasing you." Zhuo Zhuo's eyes showed a little sadness, knowing that Nanmen Yongli was also joking, but Zhuo Zhuo clarified again.

Nanmen Yongli didn't look at her, his lowered eyes seemed to be thinking about something, in the silence, he suddenly asked: "What is the purpose of your visit today?"

Zhuo Zhuo made a solemn expression: "I want to know, the people you sent to ambush me in the village that day were all killed by a witch formation. Who is that person who cast the witch formation, Han Qingjian or do you have any? investigated?"

"So it was because of this. It seems that the man saved you quietly. Did Han Yingxi ask him to take care of you all the way?"

Hearing what Nanmen Yongli said, Zhuo Zhuo was shocked: "So, you already know who that person is?"

Nanmen Yongli looked at Zhuo Zhuo: "It's the great wizard chasing the wind."

Great Wizard?
"Are you sure?"

"People who can perform that kind of witchcraft, as far as we know, except for those powerful wizards in the temple, it is impossible to do it outside. So His Highness investigated the whereabouts of the wizards and found that those who left the temple during that time were also There is only the great wizard Zhuifeng alone, so that person is probably Zhuifeng."

Since it was Han Qingjian who investigated it, there should be no mistake.But how could the great wizard appear there to save her?There is only one answer, as Nanmen Yongli said, it is very likely that Han Yingxi sent them secretly to protect them.Isn't he and Han Yingxi very good?He also taught Hanying about witchcraft.

Nanmen Yongli looked at Zhuo Zhuo's deep thought, and asked after a long time: "Have your doubts been resolved?"

Zhuo Zhuo nodded, and Nanmen Yongli smiled bitterly: "Then, can you do me a favor? Tell me the date of my death. I think you should know."

Zhuo Zhuo pursed his lips, finally sighed and said: "Five days later, Ling Chi will be executed."

Nanmen Yongli was laughing again, in Zhuo Zhuo's view, that smile was uglier than crying.It's just that he won't be afraid and resentful, since the day he was arrested, he has been prepared.

"You are a bloody person, that's why you refuse to betray Han Qingjian. And you are a very smart person. I planned to test you and You Moqiong before, so I said I was going to two places. You didn’t fall for the trap when you went out. It’s a pity for someone like you to die. Remember to keep your eyes open in your next life, and don’t follow the wrong person again.”

Nanmen Yongli nodded and said with a smile: "I must keep my eyes open. In addition, you lied to me that you were going to go to the north for fun. I didn't expose it, but His Royal Highness saw it through."

Zhuo Zhuo paused, but he didn't expect it to be Han Qingjian.But how did he figure it out?
"Zhuo Zhuo."

Nanmen Yongli called her, Zhuo Zhuo came back to his senses: "What?"

"You also have to keep your eyes open and don't be deceived by others. Although I was ordered to kill you before, in fact, I hope you live well."

Zhuo Zhuo smiled with tears in his eyes: "I will, I will definitely live well."

After leaving the cell, I finally breathed fresh air.Zhuo Zhuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but found that the place was always filled with the smell of death, so he couldn't help frowning.Xuanyuan Ji stood beside her, looking at her profile.

"Are you OK?"

Zhuo Zhuo turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "What will happen to me? Han Qingjian was imprisoned, and I am happier than ever." Then, she looked at the general on the other side again, " By the way, where is he locked up?"

The general pointed to a stone room ahead: "He was locked up there."

Zhuo Zhuo squinted his eyes, and just took a step forward when his wrist was tightly held by a big hand.Zhuo Zhuo turned his head and saw Xuanyuan Ji staring at her with piercing eyes.

Han Yingxi's order did not include visiting Han Qingjian, so Xuanyuan Ji grabbed her wrist to stop her.But she must see Han Qingjian, everything she did was to wait for such a moment, how could she miss it?

She looked at him imploringly, her large eyes shining with a charming light.Xuanyuan Ji frowned again, he stared at Zhuo Zhuo for a long time, and finally let go of his hand.How Zhuo Zhuo thanked him and smiled at him.

"Let's go to Hanqingjian." Xuanyuan Ji said to the general.

The general paused for a moment: "But, I didn't hear that I'm going there..."

"What, are you questioning me?"

"Don't dare, I will lead the way."

Everyone knows that Xuanyuan Ji is Han Yingxi's confidant, and the current Second Highness is the only heir of the royal family, that is, the future king. Who dares to offend the king's confidant?Under the guidance of the general, they came to the cell where Han Qingjian was held.

The general took out the key and opened the iron gate, then stood aside and said, "Han Qingjian is inside."

What a noble prince in the past, but now he is called by his first name.He has been kicked out of the royal family, no longer a prince, just a prisoner in prison.

Zhuo Zhuo's heart was beating crazily. Ever since she was reborn, she had been dreaming of this day, seeing him in such a mess.Taking a deep breath, she managed to calm herself down, and then walked into the stone house.This time Xuanyuan Ji didn't let Zhuo Zhuo enter alone, but also followed him.

Han Qingjian's hands and feet were locked with heavy iron chains, and when he saw Zhuo Zhuo coming in, his eyes were reddened.He yanked the iron chain vigorously, but he didn't want to attack Zhuo Zhuo, he should be angry and venting.

Zhuo Zhuo narrowed his eyes and looked at him with contempt.Unkempt, with a shabby sackcloth, but he has not received any punishment, and he is still in good health and has a good face, which makes Zhuo Zhuo very unhappy.

"Han Qingjian, we haven't seen each other for a long time. We haven't seen each other since you almost killed me on Wangdu Street. My child has been born safely. I will tell her that she once had an uncle, However, he is a cruel and ruthless person, so he was expelled from the royal family, and he was extremely depressed."

Han Qingjian yelled a few times, Xuanyuan Ji kept holding the handle of the knife in his hand to prepare for any eventuality.However, Han Qingjian just yelled, and then he glared at Zhuo Zhuo: "You are proud now, but unfortunately, I will not die. You want me to die, and you want me to feel bad, but I will not follow your wish, I will I will live well, longer than you and Han Yingxi! Haha..."

Zhuo Zhuo narrowed his eyes, and suddenly pulled out Xuanyuan Ji's knife, and cut off Han Qingjian's hamstring before Xuanyuan Ji could stop her.
