Chapter 1882 Life is coming soon
In the dungeon of the Kingdom of Xirong.
The late queen had been imprisoned there for a day. Even though she hadn't eaten a grain of rice or drunk a sip of water all day, she didn't say a word.
At night, Chen Changli came to the dungeon in person to interrogate the late queen.
Seeing Chen Changli, the former queen just sneered: "I have heard a lot about the title of Duke Chen, but I have never seen how he judges people."
Seeing that she was still in the mood to joke, Chen Changli pursed his lips, a little impatient: "At this point, it's useless for you to hide it. You might as well tell the truth and suffer less."
As he spoke, Chen Changli walked to the side, picked up a red-hot iron, and moved closer to the face of the late queen, spraying hot steam on her face. The woman was obviously scared to death, but she still gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Seeing that the branding iron was about to be pressed on her face, the late queen refused to say a word.
Chen Changli stopped, took the soldering iron away and threw it back into the iron basin.
"Stubborn."
After saying that, he walked out. It wasn't that Chen Changli had become kind and didn't have the heart to use torture, but he didn't know how long the late queen's body, which had long been harmed by the forbidden technique, could last.
After returning to the room, Chen Changli told Wan Shufang that the late queen was unwilling to reveal the truth, including his own concerns.
Wan Shufang patted his shoulder soothingly and said, "You did the right thing. I'll go check her pulse tomorrow to see how much she's losing."
"Okay, Shufang, you'll have to work hard again." Guilt flashed in Chen Changli's eyes and he hugged Wan Shufang even tighter. At this moment, Wan Shufang knew that comfort was useless and could only let Chen Changli hug her.
A sweet and sweet night's sleep.
The next morning, just after daybreak, Wan Shufang got up and went to the dungeon with Chen Changli.
"Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, no matter how many times you come, I'm the same. You can kill me or chop me up as you like. Cough cough cough." The late queen started coughing, and she looked a little weak.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang stepped forward, ignoring the queen's struggle, and forcibly grabbed her hand to check her pulse. The weak pulse made Wan Shufang frown.
She looked at Chen Changli and shook her head gently: "She suffered the backlash of the forbidden technique, and her body is weak. She can't live for more than a month. Even if she takes medicine to keep her alive, she can only live for a month at most."
Hearing this, the late queen opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She even forgot to mock Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, and then she became furious.
"It's all your fault!"
"If you hadn't destroyed the sacrifice in Kali Town, I could have extended my life. This is all your fault, your fault!" The late queen screamed madly, like a mad woman, no longer calm and composed.
Seeing that she seemed to want to hurt Wan Shufang, Chen Changli quickly pulled Wan Shufang to his side.
"Crazy woman, this is all your own fault. It has nothing to do with us."
"Why, why should I die while you can live well?" The former queen looked at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang coldly, "Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, how did you survive the explosion?"
She had clearly made perfect preparations, there was no way they could be alive.
But now, the two people were standing in front of her alive. She didn't want to believe it, and she was even more unwilling to accept it.
The late queen's questioning brought Wan Shufang's thoughts back to the time of the explosion. At that time, she smelled a strange smell and recognized it as gunpowder. She had no time to react, and at the moment of the explosion, she subconsciously pulled everyone into the space.
Naturally, she would not tell the late queen about the matter of space, so she remained silent.
Chen Changli glanced coldly at the former queen, and said calmly but with sarcasm: "You think your plan is very good and foolproof."
"Little did you know that your plan was not that sophisticated. We have long suspected Baisi. Although you found out that he was being followed, we also had a backup plan. You have planned everything, but this time, you are doomed to fail."
After he finished speaking, Chen Changli looked away, unwilling to look at the late queen any longer. After hearing his sarcasm, the late queen became a little crazy and couldn't believe it.
"This is impossible, you...Puff." Under the intense emotions, she almost collapsed and vomited blood from her mouth, leaving traces on the dry grass in the dungeon.
The late queen lay on the hay, breathing heavily, and suddenly she burst into laughter after her emotional breakdown.
"Chen Changli, I admit that I lost. Yes, I did all those things. So what? I did nothing wrong. I just wanted to be more beautiful. What's wrong with that?"
"You can't stop me. It was like this before and it will be like this in the future. Hahaha!"
The late queen was shouting and screaming with a crazy look on her face. She confessed everything she had done but still felt that it was right. Seeing her like this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other, shook their heads, and turned to leave the dungeon.
Walking out of the dungeon, the warm sunlight dispelled the dampness and coldness brought from the dungeon. Wan Shufang glanced at the scorching sunlight and spoke softly.
"Given the condition of the late queen, we can no longer stay in Xirong Country. We must return to Dayong as soon as possible and hand the late queen over to Your Majesty for disposal."
"Well, I'll go talk to King Xirong right away."
"I'll go with you." Having decided to return to Dayong, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang did not delay any longer and went directly to the Xirong Palace to find the King of Xirong.
The two informed the King of Xirong of their decision to bring the late queen back to Dayong. He pondered for a while, but decided to agree in order to do Dayong a favor.
Before he could say anything, Amir suddenly rushed in from outside: "I don't agree."
"Wan Shufang, your former queen of Dayong and I haven't reached a decision yet, she can't go back." Amir's face was serious and her words were sharp. She was on the verge of a decision with that old witch, and she couldn't let anyone go back to Dayong.
"Amir, we are not leaving now. You can go to the dungeon and end it now."
Hearing this, Amir looked at King Xirong. When he nodded, she immediately smiled, walked out quickly, and her figure soon disappeared.
Wan Shufang looked at her back as she walked away, feeling uneasy.
"Chen Changli, King Xirong, you two talk first. I'll go over and take a look."
After greeting the two of them, Wan Shufang quickly chased after them. In the dungeon, Amir looked at the half-dead queen and couldn't help frowning.
"Empress of Dayong, let me ask you, is there anything you said to me that is true?"
The late queen had her eyes closed originally. When she heard Amir's voice, she slowly opened her eyes and recognized the familiar man. At this point, the late queen had already given up hope.
She laughed and said sarcastically, "Amir, you are still so stupid even now. I just thought you could use me at the beginning, but you are the only fool who took it seriously."
"You!" Amir's eyes instantly turned red after being provoked by her. She drew the dagger from her waist and said, "You evil woman, I will kill you!"
The dagger was raised high, and just when it was about to fall, Wan Shufang hurried over.
"Amir, stop it!"
