This time, he panicked. If it was just a concubine, he would have endured it, after all, he would be the true owner of "Ning Wan" in the end. But what was the point of having an extra consort now?
Wu Qi couldn't bear it any longer and thought about returning to the capital soon to ask Ning Wan about it in person.
But before his people could rush back, they received the news of his grandfather's death.
The son-in-law usurped the throne, but his identity was still the son of a king of a different surname in the early years.
Ning Mu was imprisoned, and "Ning Wan" will be beheaded in public three days later.
He was already riding back at full speed.
It seemed like God just liked to play jokes, and he didn't even bother giving Wu Qi time to react. The next moment, news of "Ning Wan's" death came.
Wu Qi admitted that he had regrets, but more of it was hatred towards Shen Jingyi.
At this moment, there was no trace of the tipsy look on his face that he had when he was with Ning Wan before. Instead, his expression was cold and icy, and just standing there was enough to make people stay away from him.
He is truly worthy of being a general who fights in battle.
Ning Wan spoke calmly to Xiao Qi in her sea of consciousness.
Just as he took the tea, Xiao Qi reminded him that there was medicine in the tea.
Although her appearance is no different from that of a Chinese medicine doctor now, with the help of Xiao Qi, her consciousness remained clear for a short time, and she used Xiao Qi to check the situation outside.
[Host, why does it feel like Wu Qi already knew about Shen Jingyi's existence?]
Xiao Qi looked at Wu Qi, who looked like a little puppy in front of the host, and suddenly seemed like a different person, and felt confused.
Are all humans so good at disguise?
"Well, even if he didn't know, he must have noticed it a long time ago."
It seems that her guess was not wrong, the relationship between the two was indeed very subtle.
According to the plot, the original owner's straightforward pursuit made people feel disgusted and they hid in the borderland.
Just now, he advised her not to confront Shen Jingyi head-on, which was not like his style at all.
Ning Wan put aside the things she couldn't figure out, adhering to the principle that as long as she was willing to give up, there would be no problems.
Although Ning Wan would not be controlled by the drug's effects with the help of the system, the fact that she remained conscious all the time seemed to make her even more uncomfortable.
When Shen Jingyi's gaze fell on Ning Wan's lips again and his hand brushed across her eyebrows, Ning Wan finally lost control and let Xiao Qi knock her unconscious.
When Ning Wan woke up again, she saw only darkness before her eyes.
Damn, the male protagonist won’t turn evil and dig out her eyes, right?
[Host, don't worry. The male protagonist hasn't become so perverted yet.]
Ning Wan: I always feel like it's just a matter of time...
Looking at the familiar anklet on her foot, Ning Wan lost her composure.
Ning Wan swung her chained legs. If she was locked in a small dark room and chained, and that wasn't considered a perversion, then what was?
Broken hands and feet?
[Host, compared to the previous situation, the male protagonist has been very tolerant of you. According to the previous plot, the male protagonist did not feel relieved after killing the princess. He often had people dig up the corpse and whip it, and in the end, there was not even a trace of the body left.]
Even Ning Mu wasn't spared. Six months after the male protagonist usurped the throne, he repeatedly poisoned Ning Mu, causing his internal organs to rot and no medicine could cure him. He was declared dead. Meanwhile, nearly all the important officials of the previous dynasty were killed by the male protagonist under various pretexts over the same six-month period, their deaths gruesome.
[Compared to simple imprisonment, the male protagonist has really restrained himself.]
[And according to the data, the male protagonist's heartbeat value for the host has just reached the passing line, so love is impossible, please rest assured, host.]
Ning Wan: You really know how to thank me. If they start locking people up when there is only 60% chance, then wouldn’t they all die together when there is 100% chance?
[Host, Xiao Qi must remind you that the male protagonist is watching you from a distance. It is recommended that you cooperate and resist to avoid the male protagonist increasing your punishment.]
Xiaoqi has seen too many perverted male protagonists, some of whom, because they cannot achieve their desired goals, abuse the host physically and mentally.
Ning Wan, who had originally planned to take a nap before finding a way out, was stunned for a moment and put his hand on the chain.
Then he began to pull, trying to break free from the chains.
The delicate skin was broken almost instantly, and bright red blood stained the chain, but Ning Wan did not stop.
Ning Wan's face was filled with just the right amount of panic, and even her breathing became uneasy.
"Is anyone there?"
In the empty room, only the echo of Ning Wan's trembling voice could be heard.
Ning Wan's body also gradually began to tremble.
However, Shen Jingyi, who was not far away, just watched Ning Wan's struggle with cold eyes.
But when he saw the blood staining the iron chain, Shen Jingyi paused for breath and felt vaguely uncomfortable in his heart. He had the urge to bring the person inside out and apply medicine, but he quickly suppressed it.
He thought that since she could relieve his pain, he could just imprison her and use her when needed.
But before that, he must teach this person to behave well.
Shen Jingyi left the dark room without Ning Wan noticing, leaving Ning Wan alone in the cold room struggling miserably.
No matter what the identity of the soul in this body is, he is confident that he can remove her reverse scale and make her as obedient as a cat.
[The male protagonist left.]
Xiao Qi didn't expect Ning Wan to be so dedicated.
Looking at the bloody ankle, Xiao Qi searched in the space with heartache.
[Host, give it to me!] As the system's voice fell, a medicine bottle appeared out of thin air in Ning Wan's hand.
[This is Black Jade Ointment, it can heal external injuries. Host, please apply it quickly.] Xiao Qi's tone was a little proud, but also a little distressed.
He was proud that he could help his host, but also felt sorry that his host's acting was too realistic.
Ning Wan picked up the medicine bottle and looked at it for a moment, then threw it back into the space without any hesitation.
[Host, this medicine is very effective, you...]
Ning Wan said with a faint smile, took her hands off the chains, and lay down on the bed without any burden, as if the struggle just now was just someone's dream.
The place where Ning Wan was imprisoned was similar to a basement, but it was very different from the dungeon she had been in before.
There are walls on three sides, a stone door, and not even a window.
There was a small candle on the far wall, but it was difficult to even illuminate it.
One could just barely make out that in front of the candlelight was a table with a set of tea sets on it, but it was covered in dust.
It can be seen that no one else has come in for at least ten years.
Ning Wan, who had been extremely frightened just now, was now lying calmly on the wooden bed, covered with a relatively thick quilt, playing chess with Zhou Gong.
Xiao Qi looked at Ning Wan, who was unwilling to apply the medicine, and said nothing more. He once again secretly operated. Although it could not heal the host's injuries out of thin air, it could reduce the host's sensitivity to pain.
