Chapter 205 The Duck is Dead and Still Talking

"You still don't repent at this point."

Wen Chengyun, who had changed his appearance, was worried about being arrested, so he actually stayed by Su Yi's side. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be as he expected. A man like Liao Yu would not give in easily and let it go.

As soon as he made a move, he pressed Liao Yu's sleeping point. The man who was just making a fierce move collapsed to the ground in an instant, unconscious.

"Someone! Put him in death row!"

Su Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't even reacted in the moment of the crisis. Fortunately, the prince had foreseen the situation and kept his promise to save his life.

"The matter is now clear. I will take the food and supplies back to Beirong. Thank you for your help, Your Highness. Farewell."

Yelu Ye had originally intended to help, but Wen Chengyun's meticulous arrangements had prevented him from doing anything. The drama was over, and he had returned to the capital.

Wen Chengyun nodded slightly. He believed that with the contribution of this batch of grain and Yelu Ye's scheming and cunning, it should be clear who will be the new Crown Prince.

Liao Yu was carried out unconscious by the soldiers. His confidants must have been in a state of panic all day long, and now they were just waiting for them to fall into the trap, especially Lieutenant General Li.

However, Wen Chengyun had no intention of letting Liao Yu go easily. His body was poisoned, not the Seven Star Poison that Lieutenant General Li had used before, but a slow-acting poison that had been planted long ago.

Liao Yu had served under him before, and he had been so close to him in the barracks that he had no defenses. Furthermore, he had been so accommodating at the banquet to celebrate his achievements. Wen Chengyun suspected that Liao Yu had been behind the poison in his body...

Therefore, when Liao Yu woke up from his coma, he saw Wen Chengyun sitting in his cell and drinking tea slowly.

He had already taken off his disguise as a fireman as Tian Daren, and Liao Yu recognized the enemy at a glance.

"I was wondering how a mere provincial governor could have the guts to reach out to the military camp. You're the one behind all this, right?"

Liao Yu was a man of rough but meticulous mind. Right after he got into trouble, Wen Chengyun visited the prison and asked if it was the handiwork of this man. Even an eight-year-old child wouldn't believe it.

In this way, Wen Chengyun's so-called exile of his entire family was simply a grand ploy by the distant emperor! It was a pity that he realized it too late, and there was no way to inform him anymore!

Wen Chengyun didn't pay any attention to Liao Yu's sarcastic tone. Instead, he began to question according to his own thoughts: "Does the poison in my body have anything to do with you?"

These words sounded somewhat ambiguous to Liao Yu, who had already vaguely guessed that Wen Chengyun had been poisoned. But as far as he knew, Wen Chengyun had been poisoned by Lieutenant General Li's Seven Star Poison. It was said to be some extinct poison, with no antidote.

This is pure bullshit. Not only is the man in front of me alive and well, he also plotted to frame me. It's true that it's hard to feel at ease if I don't handle it myself.

"You're so lucky! You can even cure the Seven Star Poison. If the King of Hell doesn't take you, you'll be a disaster for a thousand years! Don't think that catching me will solve everything. Neither you nor your hypocritical emperor will have a good life!"

Liao Yu struggled to stand up, wanting to launch a final counterattack. However, his hands and feet were shackled with heavy shackles. To prevent him from hurting Wen Chengyun, Wu Qi had personally cut his tendons.

So not only did he fail to stand up successfully, but he fell off the bed and lay on the ground, gasping for breath like a dead fish.

"Whether it's me or His Majesty, we should treat you well..."

Wen Chengyun's brow furrowed. Judging from Liao Yu's demeanor and language, he didn't seem to be faking it. He was unaware of the chronic poison in his body, which meant someone else had poisoned him.

But he didn't understand that he had been very kind to Liao Yu and had promoted him. As for the imperial court, they had always rewarded Liao Yu with real money before discovering the corruption in military pay and rations.

Liao Yu originally had a bright future, so why has he become a person who hates the royal family?

"Haha, that's right. You royals are used to being so high and mighty. Just give them a little bit of good and you expect them to bend over backwards like dogs, wagging their tails and begging for mercy."

Liao Yu let out a low laugh, a laugh that was filled with despair and madness. He looked at Wen Chengyun with a frighteningly red gaze, filled with a surging hatred.

"My Lord, the prison is damp and cold. You should come out first."

Wu Qiren had been waiting outside the iron railings. Hearing Liao Yu's refusal to respond, he immediately began to persuade him. He knew Wen Chengyun's condition well. The last time Huo Yuanfeng cured Wen Chengyun of the Seven Star Poison, he also explained the chronic poison in his body that was difficult to eradicate.

It can be seen that it was discovered early and he had received treatment from the imperial physician when he was in the capital, but after all, it had been there for many years and it was not easy to remove it.

"Get out! I'm sick just looking at your hypocritical face! You've been poisoned, right? Hahahaha, God has mercy on you. You deserve it! You deserve to die from the poison! You won't die a good death!"

The words coming out of Liao Yu's mouth became more and more vicious. Not to mention Wen Chengyun, the person involved, even Wu Qi wanted to kick Liao Yu twice. How could a traitor have the nerve to criticize the heroes here!

"Master, I haven't seen you back home for a long time. Although my disguise is exquisite, I can't guarantee that no one will be suspicious..."

Wu Qi's words forced Wen Chengyun to temporarily put aside his questioning of Liao Yu. With Wu Qi and Su Yi in charge of the military camp, there was basically no need to worry.

I originally thought that Liao Yu was the real culprit behind this, and that my exile status could be lifted at the same time. But now it seems that there are many hidden dangers, and the exile cannot be easily resolved.

Wen Chengyun thought for a while, nodded, and left the prison.

Wu Qi ordered his soldiers to drag Liao Yu out of the prison and prepare to torture him. Didn't this guy intend to use the torture of exposure to the sun to kill his master?

"Things have changed. You should also have a taste of what it's like to be punished!"

Liao Yu was now like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others. However, when he was really tied to the stake, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He could die, but he was self-aware and knew he would most likely not survive the punishment. Rather than affecting the overall situation, it would be better to sacrifice himself in exchange for peace.

"Wen Chengyun, you will not die well!"

Liao Yu used up all his strength, shouted out the last words, and resolutely chose to commit suicide by biting his tongue.
