"Is that so?" The man's magnetic voice sounded softly.

His cold gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight to the heart.

Xiao Rourou felt immediately disappointed after hearing his words.

She slumped to the ground, her expression clearly one of disappointment.

"Nine……"

"I am the Regent," he interrupted her, his voice as cold as if it came from the depths of an abyss.

Di Jingling meant that she was no longer allowed to call him Ninth Imperial Uncle.

Xiao Rourou was devastated.

"He's the one you saved..."

"Seventh Imperial Consort, you probably don't know this, but your master has admitted that he was not the Regent's savior."

His words made Xiao Rourou turn deathly pale.

“How could this be…” She shook her head, looking incredulous.

Xiao Tang blinked slowly.

Good grief, is this for real?

[There are even cases of people impersonating their benefactors.]

"Let's go, let's leave." Di Jingling held her hand, pulled her around, and walked out.

The passageway was pitch black.

Xiao Tang could feel the warmth of his palm.

It was even a little warm.

Even after emerging from the dark prison, Xiao Tang hesitated before asking, "Husband, what about this savior..."

Who would have thought that this benefactor was actually a fake?!

Given Di Jingling's personality, he would definitely kill this imposter.

He said, "I'm not sure, but I can use severe torture."

Xiao Tang: [Huh?]

[If they use torture to extract a confession, what if they make a mistake and it turns out they really are your benefactor? Wouldn't you be in big trouble?]

Di Jingling glanced at her without showing any emotion.

"My intuition tells me that this person doesn't seem like my savior."

Xiao Tang nodded.

You actually used your intuition to judge things? Amazing!

Anyway, when it comes to Di Jingling, it's better to kill the innocent than to let the guilty go free!

Impersonating someone's savior, especially the regent's savior, is a dead end.

She thought they were leaving, but to her surprise, the man took her hand and led her in another direction!

It was as if they intended to let her witness this scene of "torture and forced confession".

Xiao Tang paused, looking the person up and down.

In my heart, all I could say was, "Wow!"

Finally, at the end of the passageway, the prison came into view.

This was truly the first time Xiao Tang had ever seen Mu Gucheng in such a disheveled state.

I was being stared at on the wall.

Two iron chains ran across his shoulder blades.

He hung his head, seemingly lost in thought.

Xiao Tang sighed inwardly, "How tragic!"

"Have you thought it through?" Di Jingling's voice rang out.

The echoes reverberated through the dimly lit passageway.

His voice sounded like it came from a battlefield.

It was extremely cold.

Upon hearing the sound, Mu Gucheng slowly raised his head, his gaze gradually focusing from its emptiness.

He looked at Di Jingling.

After a long pause, he finally exclaimed excitedly, "What do you want to do?!"

"I saved you!"

He screamed until he was hoarse, as if he wanted to vent all his emotions here.

Di Jingling sneered twice, "How could I not remember this matter?"

"If you tell the truth, I might even grant you a complete corpse."

Mu Gucheng looked directly into Di Jingling's eyes.

"Why...why don't you believe me?"

"You are not trustworthy."

A man's words can instantly plunge a person into hell.

Mu Gucheng suddenly shook his head.

"When...did you guess that?"

Now that things have come to this, Mu Gucheng no longer wants to pretend.

Even if he were to die, he wouldn't have died so easily!

Unexpectedly, the person admitted it so quickly. Standing to the side of Di Jingling, Xiao Tang almost rolled her eyes at these words.

You're so smart!

[I have no idea what you were thinking, impersonating the villain's benefactor. Are you looking for death?]

As expected, there will always be some fools in this world, like this one in front of me.

What a huge idiot.

Di Jingling heard everything, but a sense of helplessness welled up inside her.

"Mu Gucheng, I'm giving you one last chance. Explain yourself."

"Who exactly is my benefactor?"

"Heh...you can figure it out yourself." Mu Gucheng chuckled softly. "If I told you, wouldn't I be a fool?"

[Big brother, you're acting like an idiot right now, and you're not even saying it, you're acting like a super idiot.]

Xiao Tang shook her head slightly, increasingly speechless. It was truly laughable.

“I killed your benefactor long ago.”

"You think I, Haihu, would let your benefactor come out and testify against me? Don't even think about it!"

Wow, you're so clever!

So, that means the villain's benefactor is dead?

He was still killed by Mu Gucheng.

Things are getting more and more complicated.

"The poison you were wounded on the battlefield was one I personally concocted," Mu Gucheng smiled.

He probably knows his death is imminent, so he no longer feels threatened.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Di Jingling.

"Since that's the case, then let's kill them." Di Jingling lowered his eyes, naturally losing that thought as well.

As he turned to leave, Mu Gucheng hurriedly called out to him from behind.

"Wait!"

Mu Gucheng, his voice hoarse, stopped Di Jingling in her tracks, gritting his teeth, "If you agree to one request, I will tell you what your benefactor looks like and who he is."

Xiao Tang was just about to sigh that she could finally leave.

However, Mu Gucheng had set another trap.

[Could it be that they intend to spare Xiao Rourou's life?]
