Chapter 244 Killed him with my own hands
Upon arriving at the prison, Shen Qingci and Yuanbao took the unconscious Liu Ruolan directly to the cell where the fake "Huo Yunzhan" was located.
Before Liu Ruolan could wake up, Shen Qingci coldly instructed Huo Yunzhan, who was already in the cell and had received instructions, "Perform the play... well."
"Now, pretend you can't speak. Just stare at her with eyes full of hatred, anger, and disdain."
“As for the rest,” a cruel smile curved her lips, “she’ll fill in the blanks herself.”
After explaining everything, Yuanbao took out a small porcelain bottle containing the antidote from his pocket and placed it under Liu Ruolan's nose.
Liu Ruolan slowly woke up, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Qingci and Yuanbao's two faces, which were full of mockery!
Her eyes widened, and she instinctively wanted to shout!
But before she could even utter a sound, Yuanbao mercilessly covered her mouth!
"Don't shout." Shen Qingci looked at her, her voice light but filled with a deadly threat, "We... are in the Heavenly Prison now."
"If you call the jailer, then I'll have no choice but to leave you behind and run away."
“Anyway,” her eyes held innocence and mockery, “even if you said you were brought by me, no one would believe you.”
Liu Ruolan was furious. She clenched her teeth tightly before finally realizing the deeper meaning behind Shen Qingci's words!
Heavenly Prison?
She sat up abruptly and looked to the side!
Sure enough, she spotted Huo Yunzhan, who was huddled in the corner, staring at her with eyes full of resentment and hatred.
Liu Ruolan could no longer restrain herself. She suddenly got up from the ground and pounced on Huo Yunzhan like a madwoman!
"It's all your fault!" she screamed angrily. "If it weren't for you, how could I have become like this?"
"If it weren't for your greed that led you to kill your own brother, I would still be a peaceful and secure Lady of the Marquis!"
"It's all your fault!"
The fake "Huo Yunzhan," having already received Shen Qingci's instructions, was now gritting his teeth and glaring fiercely at her with his bloodshot eyes.
Liu Ruolan seemed to have found all the reasons. She suddenly turned her head to look at Shen Qingci and hurriedly defended herself, "He caused all of this!"
"If he hadn't killed Huo Yunting, I would still be Huo Yunting's wife! I wouldn't care about what happened between you and him! I wouldn't target you or go after you!"
"It's all because of him!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci chuckled.
“What you said,” she looked at her, her eyes filled with endless mockery, “makes some sense.”
“So,” her voice suddenly turned cold, filled with a seductive tone, “I’ll give you a chance.”
"I'll let you...kill him with your own hands."
"How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruolan's eyes widened in astonishment! Instinctively, she turned her head to look at "Huo Yunzhan," who also looked shocked!
Shen Qingci laughed, a laugh that was cold and cruel: "You don't need to look at him anymore."
"It seems... your information isn't very accurate."
“A few days ago, the prison caught fire, and Huo Yunzhan’s voice was damaged by the thick smoke. Now, he can’t speak.”
Her eyes crinkled into crescents, and her voice was filled with glee: "I will eventually avenge myself and the child I couldn't protect."
"It was you who killed the child in my womb. It was also you who repeatedly tried to harm me."
“But,” her voice was full of hypocritical “magnanimity,” “since you say that all of this is because of Huo Yunzhan, I also admit that it is indeed because of him.”
"You're still the one who can make the move."
“So,” a chilling glint flashed in her eyes, “if you can kill him with your own hands, then I will forgive and forget everything that happened before.”
Liu Ruolan's heart skipped a beat!
She glanced quickly towards the outside of the prison, her voice filled with fear and disbelief: "Are you crazy? This... is the prison!"
"If I really kill him here, will we even be able to get out of here?!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci laughed.
"Of course not now."
"I will arrange it."
"Wait a few days," her voice was like a ghostly whisper, "when Huo Yunzhan is executed. Before the execution, you will personally finish him off, how about that?"
"Anyway, he... is going to die."
"If..." Her voice suddenly turned sharp, filled with an undeniable threat, "you can't kill him with your own hands. Then, once Huo Yunzhan is dead, the one I'll deal with will naturally be you!"
"And," her gaze, sharp as a blade, pierced straight at her, "the Liu family is behind you!"
"The Liu family was powerful before. But," a cruel smile curved her lips, "things are different now."
“Now, I am…the Regent’s wife.”
"And your father, the high and mighty prime minister, has long since become a traitorous rebel!"
“You,” her voice was filled with endless mockery, “are the daughter of a traitor!”
"Hahaha!"
"Killing you would be easier for me than crushing an ant!"
Liu Ruolan's heart skipped a beat!
She knew that what Shen Qingci said was true.
"Why did you do this?" She looked at the woman in front of her, who seemed insane yet was terrifyingly calm, her voice filled with unbelievable fear.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingci smiled.
That laughter was filled with endless sorrow and deep-seated hatred.
“I’ve heard it before.” Her voice was light and airy as it reached Liu Ruolan’s ears. “I’ve heard that you and Huo Yunzhan were intimate.”
“At that time,” her eyes were filled with madness and determination, “I thought, one day I will take my revenge.”
“I’ve thought about revenge for a long time. I think…” A cruel smile curved her lips, “I want you to kill him with your own hands. Or I want him to kill you with his own hands.”
"What makes me feel most satisfied."
“But,” she looked at her, her eyes as if she were looking at an interesting toy, “I’ve thought it over and over, and I think that of all these things, Huo Yunzhan is indeed the one who deserves to die more.”
“So,” her voice was filled with hypocritical “magnanimity,” “I’m leaving this chance to live to you.”
"But if you don't want to, I don't mind turning it around."
“I believe,” a chilling glint flashed in her eyes, “that if killing you would allow him to live, he would be more than willing.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Yunzhan, who was standing to the side, immediately nodded frantically!
He struggled, trying to crawl towards Shen Qingci!
Seeing this, Liu Ruolan kicked him away hard!
She raised her head, and her eyes, which had long lost all their former brilliance, were filled with ruthlessness and determination!
“Okay.” She looked at her and said, enunciating each word clearly.
"I do."
