There were dim candlelight on both sides of the corridor. Duota reached out and took a torch, illuminating the cell in front of Yuan Zhao.
Yuan Zhao saw clearly the people huddled in the corner of the cell, and his breathing suddenly became heavier. The nausea that he had just suppressed surged up again.
She let out a "wow" and finally vomited it out.
The cell was almost covered in blood and flesh, and there was a tragic scene everywhere.
Those who were imprisoned were either missing limbs or had their eyes gouged out and their ears cut off...
Not only did they look horrific, but you could faintly see maggots wriggling in the wounds of some people.
Yuan Zhao couldn't even bear to look at it.
The hairs on her body stood up, her scalp was almost tingling, and she just wanted to run away.
In all her years of life, when had she ever seen such a scene?
Dota didn't even frown, but instead smiled and bent down to carefully wipe the dirt left at the corner of her mouth.
Yuan Zhao stared into his eyes, breathing slightly, "Is this the gift you gave me?"
"What is this? A threat? If I don't obey you, you will turn me into this?"
Duota's eyes were filled with smiles, even revealing a hint of joy. "A Chao, what are you afraid of? How could I bear to treat you like this?"
He kept wiping her hands, as if to comfort her, "A Chao, don't be afraid, these people are all damned people who betrayed me..."
"If you hadn't betrayed me, how could it have turned out like this..."
Yuan Zhao avoided his movements, straightened up, tilted his head back and closed his eyes.
It must be said that his series of soft and hard tactics really made her dare not take any further action.
So she opened her eyes and stared upwards, "What else is there... I saw it all at once. I'm tired..."
…
Duota took Yuan Zhao down another level and walked to the innermost part. There was a large wooden frame for execution in the center.
Yuan Zhao looked from afar at a person hanging on a wooden frame.
Is a man.
She looked over and felt that the man's figure was very familiar.
But his face and body were covered in blood, his hair was disheveled, and his body was covered with various marks of torture.
When he reached a distance where he could see the man's face clearly, Yuan Zhao stopped moving.
Her steps were as light as lead, and she stood still.
Duota held her hand, waved his hand, and whispered in her ear in an unclear tone, like a child asking for credit.
"A Chao, this is my first gift to you... Do you like it?"
Yuan Zhao's throat tightened and his whole body couldn't help but tense up.
What is this gift?
There were two men in black guarding the hanging man on both sides. When they saw the two men coming, they saluted in the same way.
"Greetings to the King and Queen!"
The man who was hanging woke up slowly after hearing the sound and raised his head with great effort.
When he saw the person in front of him clearly, his pupils widened, and in an instant his eyes were filled with hatred, and he roared,
"Yuan Zhao!!!"
“It’s you!!!”
…
If this voice was not the same one she had heard for more than ten years, she would have felt that she had made a mistake.
Yuan Zhaowei closed his eyes, unable to believe his eyes.
It’s Wei Shaoqing.
…
The person in front of me had thin cheeks and his entire body was just skin and bones.
His skin was deeply sunken and his eyeballs were bulging, like a hungry ghost.
Although he was roaring, he had no strength left, but he was extremely excited when he saw Yuan Zhao.
He stared at Yuan Zhao as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Wei Shaoqing had never seen Duota and didn't know him. Now he only saw Duota holding Yuan Zhao's hand.
He snorted softly, "Yuan Zhao...has he found a new lover?"
"Does Huo Yan know?" His voice was hoarse. He had no strength to begin with, yet he still tried to mock Yuan Zhao.
When Dota heard this, he gave a look to the men in black waiting on both sides.
The man in black stepped forward and whipped Wei Shaoqing with the barbed whip in his hand.
"ah!!!"
"The king is speaking, you shut up!"
Wei Shaoqing almost fainted from the pain again.
But there was also a man in black who poured a bucket of ice water directly on his head.
Yuan Zhao felt his throat tighten, and it took him a long while to find his voice. "Why did you capture him?"
Dota noticed that her hands and feet were cold and held her hands to warm them.
"He just happened to marry you, but he's still so ungrateful that he deceived and betrayed you..."
"He and his mistress drugged you? He wants to kill you, so he deserves to die!"
"I sent someone to snatch him back from Concubine Shu, just to give him to Ah Chao... Ah Chao, tell me, what do you want to do with him?"
"I've left all his limbs to Ah Chao. Even the lust poison that his mistress put in him is still in his body."
His tone was as if he was talking about today's weather.
Wei Shaoqing's eyes widened when he heard his last words.
What is this lustful Gu? Was it actually given to him by Bai Ruyuexia?
No wonder his body always reacts inexplicably, it’s actually Bai Ruyue!
Yuan Zhaowei closed his eyes and simply replied, "This is a matter between him and me. It has nothing to do with you."
Dota raised her hand, placed it on her lips and kissed it softly, her tone tender.
"A Chao is about to become my princess, how can it have nothing to do with me?"
Hearing this, Wei Shaoqing sneered and said in a weak voice,
"Don't be fooled by her, you little white face! She's nothing but a slut. She gave birth to four children with me..."
"You're still rushing in. You don't know how many men she has behind her back... and how dirty they are!"
"I'm telling you, she's a princess, but she's not interesting in bed at all...Ah, wow..."
He was about to say something, but Dota's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he fixed a hidden mark on his upper lip.
He also did not forget to cover Yuan Zhao's ears, and only let go when Wei Shaoqing could no longer make any sound.
"A Chao, we won't listen to him."
"Ah Chao, you are the best." He held Yuan Zhao's hand tightly and comforted her, "Ah Chao, he killed you, he deserves to be cut into pieces!"
Wei Shaoqing, who was hanging there, finally recovered from the pain and almost fainted when he heard these words.
This man... is so scary.
Yuan Zhao's shock gradually faded. She looked at Duota and said word by word, "He's right. This is how I am."
The smile on Dota's lips slowly faded.
After a while, he stared into Yuan Zhao's eyes and said quietly, "Someone, come here, the princess doesn't like what he says..."
The man in black responded with a “Yes!”
So two men in black, one stepped forward and pried open Wei Shaoqing's mouth, while the other directly grabbed a sharp knife, and in the blink of an eye, blood splattered everywhere.
Wei Shaoqing's tongue was cut off.
