Chapter 767: King Jing’s End
A few days later, King Jing was transferred from the solitary cell to a shared cell, where the prisoners were all severely punished, and they were all ferocious and had to rely on robbery for food and drink.
In this prison where the strong prey on the weak, King Jing's royal bloodline was of no use at all. Due to his age, frailty, and complete lack of fighting ability, he became the lowest in the cell, like an ant, vulnerable to anyone's attack.
Without food or drink and being beaten at every turn, King Jing became visibly weaker and older.
King Jing did not want to die, and when he was extremely hungry, he even picked up dirt from the wall to satisfy his hunger.
At this time, King Jing also understood that he must have offended someone, and the other party wanted to make his life worse than death.
Who is it?
Regent?
How could such a delicate child be related to the Regent?
Isn't the Du family the backer behind her? He didn't take the Du family seriously at all, so he dared to be so unscrupulous.
Who knows...
This time, he completely regretted it. He shouldn't have attacked the delicate child!
However, it was too late.
His sentence has come down and he will be executed in a month.
But it seemed that he couldn't wait for another month.
After being hungry for several days, all his clothes were stripped off, and several prisoners urinated on him. In the cold winter, King Jing huddled in a corner, and by midnight he felt unbearable.
In a trance, he felt that he was in the snow and ice, it was too cold.
Suddenly, he saw someone walking towards him and quickly asked for help.
When the person came closer, he felt something was wrong. The other person looked at him numbly, without a trace of anger on his face. The look was a bit creepy.
No matter how King Jing begged for help, the man did not move forward and just stared at him.
There were more and more people like this, and several of them walked up to him and looked at him straight.
It was not until King Jing saw a familiar figure among them that he understood where the sense of incongruity came from.
That person is delicate and gentle.
These people were all killed by him!
The moment he reacted, these people suddenly started bleeding from all seven orifices, their faces were twisted and hideous, and they pounced towards King Jing.
King Jing desperately tried to run, but his hands and feet were grabbed, and sharp nails pierced his body, tearing his flesh apart...
The next day, King Jing was found dead in the corner of the death cell. His body was frozen stiff, and it was obvious that he had frozen to death.
There were various bruises on his body, probably from struggling in the extreme cold.
…
Du Wei heard the news of King Jing's death at her parents' grave.
Du Wei knelt on the ground, kneeling straight, her frail body carrying a strong strength. In front of her stood a newly built grave.
She obtained the consent of Mrs. Du and Mr. Du and moved her mother's remains from the Du family's ancestral tomb.
Firstly, her mother was not a member of the Du family, and burying her mother in the Du family was unfair to both her mother and the Du family.
Secondly, her parents could not be together when they were alive, and she hoped that they could be together and accompany each other after death.
After hearing that King Jing had died, a smile appeared on Du Wei's face.
Dad, Mom, did you hear that?
The culprit who killed you has received retribution, and you can rest in peace.
Faintly, she seemed to see the two of them snuggling together, looking at her with smiles on their faces. Du Wei felt particularly close to them.
In a blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared, like an illusion.
"Xiaowei, let's go back." Du Yan's voice came from behind her.
Du Wei turned her head and saw that not only Du Yan was standing behind her, but also Madam Du and Master Du Zhang.
Du Zhang was in poor health. He was wearing thick clothes and his face looked extremely pale.
There was no expression on his face. In the past, Du Wei thought he was her father and felt that he was extremely indifferent to her. She felt aggrieved and uncomfortable. Now, after knowing the truth, she realized how good this family was to her.
Mr. Du was willing to take her in at his own risk, which was a great favor.
Du Wei smiled at them, nodded, and stood up with the help of Du Yan.
"Xiaowei, no matter who your parents are, we are all one family," Du Yan said.
When Du Wei was born, Du Yan was three years old. She had liked her younger sister since she was a child and liked to pester her and tease her.
After learning her true identity, she still liked her and listened to her mother's advice not to get too close to her. Her mother said that letting Xiaowei be the second daughter of the Du family, a woman with little presence, living in the Du family's backyard was a way to protect her. Her mother was afraid that one day King Jing would come out of the imperial mausoleum and notice her.
Fortunately, now everything has been settled, the threat of King Jing has been completely eliminated, and they finally don't have to worry anymore.
Du Wei nodded and shook Du Yan's hand in return.
Yes, they are always a family.
…
Tang Li, thinking of Du Wei's muteness, asked Wei Ziyi whether he should let Doctor Su see Du Wei.
Wei Ziyi thought about this matter and found a suitable opportunity to tell Du Wei about it.
"Doctor Su is very good. He has cured many people's illnesses, including Doctor Su's wife, my great-uncle, and the Empress Dowager... Wei Yu, do you want me to ask Doctor Su to see you?" Wei Ziyi asked.
Du Wei used to be very sensitive about this, but Wei Ziyi never disliked her because of her muteness, and she suddenly felt relieved.
There is such a person in this world. You only care about his opinion. When he thinks that your shortcomings are no longer shortcomings, you will also think that this problem is insignificant.
When Wei Ziyi mentioned this, Du Wei happily agreed.
Let’s give it a try. What if her muteness can be cured?
She also hopes that one day, she can shout out the three words "Wei Ziyi" with her own voice.
As soon as Du Wei agreed, Wei Ziyi took her to see Doctor Su.
Doctor Su and Mrs. Su run a clinic. Although it is not in the downtown area, many people come to see the doctor.
When Wei Ziyi brought Du Wei to the door, he heard the patients talking.
Some praised Dr. Su's medical skills, some praised his kindness, and said he treated beggars for free, and some praised his good temper...
Du Wei followed Wei Ziyi and waited in the crowd. Listening to the discussions, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
When it was their turn, Doctor Su saw Wei Ziyi and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Are you here? Is this Miss Du?" Doctor Su asked.
Obviously, Tangli had already mentioned this to him.
Du Wei nodded and responded with a smile.
Du Wei was actually also observing the doctor. The doctor didn't look good, but he gave people a very gentle and elegant feeling.
Doctor Su examined Du Wei carefully, took his pulse, and looked at Du Wei's throat carefully.
After observing for a while, a diagnosis was given.
"Miss Du's illness is here." Doctor Su pointed to the throat, and then explained in detail the principle of voice production and the reason why Du Wei could not speak.
Du Wei listened very carefully.
She had seen many doctors, and they all gave all kinds of strange reasons, but no doctor had ever been as thorough and convincing as this question.
Du Wei was very happy and inexplicably excited. She felt that this doctor might really be able to cure her muteness!
"Doctor Su, is there any way to treat it?" Wei Ziyi asked.
"Miss Du's case is relatively simple. We need to operate the knife and cut open the closed area." Doctor Su said.
This type of treatment sounds dangerous in this day and age. Surgery involves blood, and it might not cure the disease, or even cause other problems. Many patients refuse surgery when told it's necessary.
Doctor Su actually did some research in this area, and Tang Li also supported him and gave him a lot of advice, such as making sure to disinfect the surgery properly.
Doctor Su made some improvements and is more mature in this regard.
However, the patient's consent must still be obtained.
"Miss Du, you can think about it carefully and don't have to rush to make a decision." Doctor Su said gently.
Du Wei nodded towards Doctor Su.
She is willing to accept this treatment.
This doctor is an elder whom Wei Ziyi trusts very much, and she believes in him.
