Chapter 94 More Than Once

The prison is gloomy, which is obviously different from the brilliant and bright palace. The dirty and dim environment is too incompatible with the bright girl.

Ling Zhuoan and Ling Qingyan came to the Ministry of Justice prison together.

This was not Ling Qingyan's first time here. Although she was still awed and frightened, she felt much more familiar with the place than the first time.

But the difference from last time was that when she came to visit Ji Yanxing with her father's token, the prisoners were clinging to the iron bars and wanted her to save them, howling all the way. But when she came with Ling Zhuoan, it was silent all the way, as if there was no one around.

The prisoners all huddled in their proper places, not daring to offend in the slightest.

The people in the prison were cleared out, and only two of Donggong's confidants followed him. Ling Zhuoan held Ling Qingyan's hand tightly and walked leisurely towards Guan Pei Wuyou's cell.

Pei Wuyou was tied to a cross, wearing a white robe stained with blood, his hair disheveled, no longer as clean as it was in Yaohua Palace. He leaned lazily on the cross, and his extraordinary face had a bit of broken beauty.

The skin was torn and the body was covered with wounds. It was so painful to see it at a glance that people dared not look at it a second time.

He looked even more embarrassed and miserable than when Ling Qingyan first saw Pei Wuyou.

Ling Qingyan felt like her breathing was about to stop. These days, she had provided Pei Wuyou with good food and drink, and had finally raised him to look like a normal teenager of his age.

Now it is because of her that he is in such a miserable state.

She didn't develop such a close relationship with him, but he was the first one to max out his love for her. He served her tea and water all day long, and diligently asked her to check her homework. She lacked love, so he called her sister all day long and liked to stick to her. He put a lot of thought into gaining Ling Qingyan's attention.

It would be a lie for Ling Qingyan to say that she didn't feel touched or moved at all.

Ling Zhuoan looked at his work happily, but after seeing the reaction of the imperial sister today, he still felt that it was not enough.

Ling Qingyan's clear eyes were filled with tears. She subconsciously wanted to move forward, but was grabbed by Ling Zhuoan.

"It's wrong to leave your royal brother and look for another man. Remember, royal sister, you can't do this again next time." Ling Zhuo'an smiled gently and wiped away the tears from the corners of Ling Qingyan's eyes. "It's also wrong to shed tears for another man."

The tied-up man in front of him seemed to have heard a sound and opened his eyes. The moment he saw the girl, his expression changed from contempt to astonishment, and then to joy, as if the sun had suddenly appeared on a gloomy day that had been covered by dark clouds for several days, making people unable to feel the pain in their bodies, as if everything was worth it for this moment.

"Sister." Pei Wuyou spoke with difficulty, and the light in his eyes seemed impossible to conceal.

Just like always, just like the expression he had every time he saw Ling Qingyan.

Ling Qingyan thought inappropriately that Pei Wuyou might have turned evil out of loneliness.

He seemed to have no resentment towards her at all, and even when he was imprisoned, he still smiled at herself.

"Royal brother, he is seriously injured. You said you would not let him die. Can you please call the imperial physician for him?" Ling Qingyan said.

"Sister, you don't have to beg him. I'm not in pain, it's just that missing you is painful. When you come to see me, it seems that all my injuries are healed...hiss." Pei Wuyou seemed to want to make her believe him and moved, and any movement would involve the wound.

"Don't move!" Ling Qingyan shouted worriedly.

"I'll listen to you, sister." Pei Wuyou glanced at his sister's hand, which was being held by Ling Zhuo'an. "Sister, you can't be with the Crown Prince. He's moody and ruthless. He tortured me all night yesterday."

"Let alone the fact that he is my sister's brother, even if he is not, such a vicious person is definitely not someone my sister can entrust her life to." Pei Wuyou said bad things in front of Ling Zhuoan.

"Pei Jizi is such a scoundrel. It seems the punishment I gave you last night wasn't enough." Ling Zhuo'an's face was gloomy. "I should break your dog bones into pieces and make you truly become a dog for your beloved sister. Only then will you know what to say."

Ling Qingyan felt a chill running up from the soles of her feet, and she froze in place.

Pei Wuyou was right. Her royal brother was far more ruthless than she had imagined.

Ling Zhuoan's words didn't stop Pei Wuyou, but frightened Ling Qingyan so much that she dared not move.

Pei Wuyou's lips curled slightly, still stubborn, "Okay."

His eyes were filled with longing. "Your Highness, it's best to do it now, in front of me. If my broken bones can show me how terrifying you are, then it will be worth it."

They are all crazy!

Ling Qingyan looked at Pei Wuyou, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"

Feeling the coldness of Ling Qingyan's palm, Ling Zhuoan finally realized that this bastard was trying to sow discord and get his imperial sister to push him out.

Ling Zhuoan gritted his teeth: "You are so deep-minded at such a young age, you don't know how to live or die."

"Does the royal sister think so too? Do you want to leave the royal brother?" Ling Zhuoan's voice was quite cold.

Ling Qingyan is much more sensible than Pei Wuyou, "I don't mean to leave my royal brother."

Although Ling Qingyan said this, there was clearly a hint of fear in her eyes.

Ling Zhuo'an smiled faintly and stroked the girl's hand, "Royal sister, please don't let this bastard sow discord between you and me."

"I tortured him because he was a foul-mouthed man."

"He boasted to me about how good the imperial sister was to him, how much she cared about him, and how she made him happy. He took the initiative to provoke me and told me all the good things the imperial sister had done for him."

"How can I not be angry? How can I bear to see him so rampant?" Ling Zhuoan's anger rose again when he thought of this, and he wished he could break all his bones as he said.

Ling Qingyan looked at Pei Wuyou in astonishment and complexity.

???

No, she thought that Ling Zhuoan knew about their affairs because Ling Zhuoan was a pervert and asked about it.

Pei Wuyou actually said it himself?

Are you sick?!

Pei Wuyou must be crazy. Did he eat something that damaged his brain?

He was in someone else's territory and prison, in a state of being at the mercy of others, and he took the initiative to provoke Ling Zhuoan?

Isn’t this asking for death!

How come Ling Qingyan didn't know Pei Wuyou was such a naughty kid before?

What's the matter? His way of becoming evil is to resort to self-abuse without regard for his life.

Ling Qingyan had a lot of question marks in her mind and was quite confused, but the boy still looked at her pitifully, with an extremely innocent look.

It seems to be silently saying, "I'm telling the truth, what's wrong with that?"

None of this is normal.

Ling Qingyan came to a conclusion.

But people who need to be saved must be saved.

Ling Qingyan was about to speak when she heard Ling Zhuoan speak again.

"There's more to it than that." His voice was cold. "The good brother of the imperial sister even admitted that he secretly kissed the imperial sister while she was sleeping."

"More than once."

Ling Zhuoan almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth, his fists clenched tightly, and his knife-like eyes flashed across Pei Wuyou.
