After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

Chapter 227 "Imprisoned in the Princess's Mansion, Never Allowed to Leave Without a Summon

"Give me the antidote!"

Jiang Ci'an asked through gritted teeth.

Mu Li just found it funny.

"You already know this is all my plan... If you take the antidote, she'll kill you. Do you still want the antidote?"

He had never loved someone recklessly before, so he didn't understand this kind of feeling.

The premise of loving someone is to protect yourself, isn't it?

But for Jiang Ci'an, it is not the case.

Without Shen Changle...his life would be meaningless.

"Stop talking nonsense and give me the medicine!"

He drew his sword and pressed it against his ribs.

"If you don't hand over the antidote, I will break your bones one by one!"

"An'er! An'er, don't..."

"Go away!"

As the sword came down, Mu Li screamed in pain, sweat dripped down his face, and his vision blurred.

The already scarred body was further injured.

"what--"

"Li'er...Li'er!"

Mu Li, who hadn't slept for several days, fainted completely due to the severe pain.

Jiang Ci'an did not let him go.

"Someone, bring some water!"

A bucket of ice water was poured over his head, and Mu Li woke up shivering again.

He was breathing heavily, his wet hair covering his cheeks.

"Jiang... Jiang Ci'an, you, if you have the guts, just kill me! At worst... I can drag Shen Changle and I into a relationship, a pair of desperate mandarin ducks..."

"Don't even think about it!"

The sword in Jiang Ci'an's hand pressed against his second rib again.

An Shengyang couldn't bear it anymore and rushed over to hug Jiang Ci'an's legs.

"An'er! Stop torturing him. Let me, let me talk to him... I'll ask him where the medicine is!"

Jiang Ci'an was waiting for this moment. He snorted coldly, pushed her away, and turned away.

After waiting outside the torture chamber for about an incense stick of time, An Shengyang finally came out.

I don't know what she said to Mu Li, but she did find out the whereabouts of the antidote.

"Li'er said...the antidote is in the third row of shelves in his study."

Jiang Ci'an immediately sent people to search.

After getting the medicine, he showed it to Doctor Sun and was relieved to find that it was the antidote.

Just as he was about to turn back, he was stopped by An Shengyang.

She cried out in tears:

"An'er... since Li'er gave you the antidote, can you... let him go? No, don't kill him..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ci'an became furious.

At this time, she is still pleading for him!

Jiang Ci'an angrily pushed her away and sternly accused:

"He killed the emperor! He committed treason, and you want me to let him go?"

"But... An'er, when you were away, he, he was my only son...

Without him, I don’t know how I would have survived all these years... I can’t just watch him die!"

Ah……

The only son.

What an only son!

Jiang Ci'an grabbed her wrist and brought her forward.

There was fire in his eyes and he gnashed his teeth.

"An Shengyang, why are you pretending to be pitiful? Don't forget, it wasn't me who wanted to leave you, it was you who abandoned me!

When you and your Mu Li were "living together" in the princess's mansion, did you ever think about what kind of life I was living?

I was competing with beggars for food; serving dishes in a restaurant; doing odd jobs in a security agency; and fighting in the arena!

Now, you come to tell me that he is your only son and you can’t survive without him? Ha…”

Jiang Ci'an sneered. When he thought about himself at that time, he just felt ridiculous!

"During those first few years of wandering, I fantasized every day that you would come back to pick me up and pull me out of the mire!

I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you never showed up.

One day, I saw those soldiers guarding the emperor. I didn’t know whose emperor they were guarding. I plucked up the courage to look for you, but was kicked away again and again!

It wasn't until I caught the attention of the people in the sedan chair, lifted the curtain, and revealed Mu Li's face, which looked exactly like mine, that I finally knew...

It turns out that you have a better child, and I was abandoned and you don’t want me anymore.”

Tears welled up in my eyes and my throat felt dry and itchy as if it was burning.

He chuckled to himself.

“For a long time after that, I wondered what I had done wrong!

Worry every day, suffer every day...

I threw away your broken bracelet several times, but you still picked it up again in a cowardly way.

I'm afraid that one day you might remember me but won't be able to find me or recognize me...

Haha, luckily I didn’t throw it away, otherwise…” How can I help Changle?

He took a deep breath and looked up to push back the tears.

These words, these grievances, have been buried in his heart for nearly twenty years!

Unexpectedly, I vomited freely in one breath!

It seems that after I say it out loud, I don’t feel anything anymore.

An Shengyang listened to him in a daze and quickly refuted him.

"No, no, An'er, I, I have my own difficulties! I don't want to..."

When she saw him turning to leave, she rushed over and grabbed his robe.

"If my brother hadn't forced me, how could I be willing to abandon you? I am your mother, An'er!"

Jiang Ci'an stopped but did not look back.

He just looked down at her and asked her one last question:

"Back then, did you ever beg Emperor An to keep Mu Li like you did today?"

An Shengyang was speechless. She...

She really couldn't give up the honor of being a princess, and didn't dare to risk being expelled from the palace and disobey the emperor's order.

"Back then, I was still young... I didn't dare to follow my heart in many things..."

So that means it’s gone?

Jiang Ci'an nodded in self-mockery, chuckled and sighed.

"You're right. Mu Li is indeed your only son. After all, you only give him your courage and love..."

He looked up at the vast sky, his eyes and tone becoming lighter.

I think it's like I've let go of the burden that I've been carrying for so many years.

"Well, since you've begged me so sincerely, I won't let you down, so I'll just agree to let you share the good and the bad together!

Come on - Mu Li killed the king and committed the crime of treason. He deserves death but his entire clan should be exterminated!

However, considering that his mother, Princess Shengyang, is of royal blood, in order to protect his royal honor, he is imprisoned in the princess's mansion and is not allowed to leave forever without being summoned!

His father, Prime Minister Mu, and all those involved in the case are in custody awaiting trial. I hereby order Mu Li to be torn apart by five horses and executed at the Meridian Gate tomorrow!"

"Yes--"

The eunuch who summoned the emperor left after receiving the order, and the imperial guards came forward and dragged An Shengyang away.

An Shengyang started to panic. She didn't expect Jiang Ci'an to be so cruel!

Struggling and shouting unwillingly:

"An'er, you, you can't do this to me! I'm your biological mother! An'er... Jiang Ci'an, Jiang Ci'an——"

Jiang Wen, who had been waiting for a long time, saw everyone leave and silently walked up to him and patted his shoulder.

"Ci'an, you've suffered."

Jiang Ci'an straightened his back tiredly, pretending to be strong out of habit.

"It's all over. How's your injury?"

"It's a minor injury, nothing serious... Did you get the antidote?"

"Ah."

Jiang Ci'an nodded, looked at the palm-sized small medicine bottle, and couldn't help but think more.

An Xingyang knew clearly that...this antidote was also Mu Li's fatal move against him.

But in order to save Mu Li's life...

Ah……

What a good mother...
