Chapter 199 Despair
Duan Yingying's eyes were extremely cold. "If you and Zhou hadn't gone too far, why would I have gone to so much trouble to set up a trap to harm you?"
She slowly stood up and looked down at the two people in the cell, "Do you think that if the Fourth Prince didn't want her, she would choose to marry you? No, not marry, but - have an affair!!"
"Third sister, does this word sound familiar to you?"
A bird's song suddenly sounded.
Duan Yingying clapped her hands and said, "It's time to go. My husband and my sister, you must be well and stay alive."
She turned around slowly, leaving the noise and abuse behind her.
Everyone says that the third daughter of the Duan family is extremely intelligent and is the most talented woman in the capital, unmatched.
She grew up in her own light, and even her parents and relatives did not treat her as a human being, but what happened in the end? The most talented woman, wasn't she schemed against by her?
In the cell, Duan Mengmeng huddled in the corner in fear, not daring to look at Xiao Ze's gloomy and cold face.
"You knew it a long time ago, but you still slept with me, bitch. If it weren't for you, how could my father have completely abandoned me? You are also in cahoots with Xiao Yuan. This prince will kill you."
He moved quickly towards Duan Mengmeng.
Duan Mengmeng had all her limbs intact and kept dodging, and the two of them started chasing each other in the cell.
Fire was about to burst out of Xiao Ze's eyes.
Plop——
Duan Mengmeng tripped over something and fell to the ground.
Xiao Ze rushed over and grabbed her neck fiercely, "Bitch, this prince will kill you. You and your sister both deserve to die."
The fear in Duan Mengmeng's eyes slowly spread, and finally turned into a look of despair.
The air at the tip of her nose gradually became thinner, and her face turned purple.
"Bitch, I let you have sex with me and seduce me."
If he hadn't had an affair with her, his father would never have been disappointed in him.
He punched harder and harder until the woman beneath him slowly lost her resistance and became motionless.
He threw the man away like a rag and moved towards the prison door, "Someone, come quickly, I want to see my father, I am innocent."
"Duan Mengmeng is not the girl of destiny. She is not. I do not covet the throne. Someone come quickly——"
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, elongated by the candlelight.
Xiao Ze was stunned and turned around to look.
A sharp cold light rushed down at an extremely fast speed, and before he could even open his mouth, it pierced into his forehead fiercely.
"Bitch, you are the bitch, you are a bitch. I told you not to get along with me. Go to hell, go to hell." Duan Mengmeng muttered to herself, and the hairpin stabbed into Xiao Ze again and again.
Soon, the face was covered with blood holes and the blood was flowing all over the face. The eyes were wide open, with fear in them that was too great to react in time.
With bruises on her neck, blood all over her hands and face, and a fierce look on her face, Duan Mengmeng looked like a demon crawling out of hell.
"You set me up, you framed me, Shen An'an, Xiao Yuan, Xiao Ze, Duan Yingying, you all deserve to die, all die—"
A sudden sharp pain came over her, and she slowly lowered her head. A dagger stabbed into her abdomen.
Xiao Ze used up his last bit of strength to push her away, crawled towards the cell door a few times, and then lowered his head completely.
"I - don't want to die, senior brother, grandfather, save me." Duan Mengmeng also tried to crawl towards the cell door, but again, she couldn't reach the cell door.
She has not yet taken revenge, nor become queen...
"Master." At dawn, Qing'an knocked on the study door.
"News came from the clan house that the second prince and Duan Mengmeng are dead."
Ling Chenyi had been staying at the Fourth Prince's residence recently. Hearing this, he opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Dead? How did he die?"
"They killed each other. The Second Prince was stabbed to death by Duan Mengmeng, and I was also stabbed to death by the Second Prince."
"Tsk." He tilted his head to look at Xiao Yuan, "That concubine Duan's fighting ability is extraordinary."
Xiao Yuan ignored all this and asked Qing An, "Did the princess send a letter?"
"Not yet, but as Qingfeng said, it should arrive within five days."
"Well, is there any news coming back from Tianshui City?"
"We did intercept a letter last night. The emperor ordered the officials to secretly investigate the deaths of Cao Pei and others. However, no matter whether they were officials or bandits, they were all dead. No one could prove that those people were killed by the prince's wife."
The princess acted very cleanly. Even if the emperor wanted to punish her for the crime of murdering an imperial official, there was no evidence.
"That's good."
He had to consider everything so that she could return home smoothly.
"Langyue Lake is guarded by Shen Changhe and his men, so nothing will happen. What you should be thinking about now is how to deal with the flower viewing banquet in five days."
Ling Chenyi said.
Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
——
At the same time, there was a bloody massacre in the Second Prince’s mansion.
"Princess Princess, Concubine Duan is here."
Zhou was having a headache and was impatient when she heard this. "Why is she here? She can't help at all and will only cause more trouble."
"I'll send her away right away." The maid turned around to go out and saw Duan Yingying walking in.
"Get out, the princess is busy right now and has no time to see you."
Duan Yingying said nothing, her eyes fell on a pile of letters beside Zhou, "Is the princess asking her family for help to save the second prince?"
"What else?" Zhou looked at her coldly, "Like lowly trash like you, who can only cry?"
"I am from Duanfu after all, how can I be considered lowly?"
"How dare you speak to the prince's wife like that." The maid stepped forward to slap her, but Duan Yingying dodged sideways and kicked the person to the ground.
"Are you rebelling?" Zhou widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Don't waste your time, Princess. The Second Prince cannot be saved because he is already dead."
"What nonsense are you talking about!!" Zhou's pupils shrank and she was furious.
"That's nonsense, I saw it with my own eyes."
She raised her hand and said, "Duan Mengmeng stabbed him in the face with the hairpin, and then he suddenly stabbed Duan Mengmeng like this."
"Then, both of them died together." She performed it seriously for Zhou.
"There was blood everywhere. It was scary. What a pity that the princess didn't see it."
"You're crazy, you're absolutely crazy," Zhou's lips were trembling, "Someone, drag her out and beat her to death."
The old woman rushed forward, and Duan Yingying got a dagger from somewhere and stabbed her randomly.
"It's already this late, and you're still acting like a prince's consort."
No one dared to approach, so Duan Yingying put down the dagger and stared at Zhou's frightened face.
"Do you know why they killed each other? Because I told the Second Prince that Duan Mengmeng was not the girl of destiny, and then the Second Prince's hopes were dashed, and he couldn't bear it, so he wanted to kill Duan Mengmeng."
"My third sister was no pushover either, so she put up a fight. The two of us stabbed her and she was gone!!!"
Zhou looked at the crazy Duan Yingying and hid backwards.
"Do you know why it turned out like this? It's all your and that bastard's fault. I clearly had a boyfriend, but you insisted on ruining it. So I had no choice but to marry your husband."
"But you refuse to treat me well, humiliate me, and beat me. What can I do? I, Duan Yingying, was not born to be abused by you!!"
She gnashed her teeth, bent over and stared at Zhou coldly, "So, I instigated the Second Prince and Duan Mengmeng to have an affair, and then the Emperor found out, and then I told them the truth and made them kill each other in prison."
She laughed happily. "Come to think of it, you are the second person who knows my plan, Princess. Do you think I am very smart? Not worse than Duan Mengmeng, right?"
Zhou said nothing, suddenly stood up and ran out.
Duan Yingying's short knife flew out at high speed and hit Zhou on the back. Seeing this scene, no one else dared to move.
The Second Prince's Mansion has collapsed, and no one is willing to sacrifice another life to fight against the crazy Duan Yingying.
"Why are you running? I haven't finished sharing my perfect plan and joy with you yet."
She walked towards Zhou step by step, "My dear mistress, are you so anxious to die?"
"You're just a lunatic." Zhou gritted her teeth and endured the pain.
She didn't even realize how vicious she was.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for marrying a third-rate husband and finally dying at the hands of a woman in the harem. But I am still grateful to you. If it weren't for the Second Prince, where would I go to realize my intelligence and value?"
She held the knife and turned it slowly, "Those days that tortured me were refreshing, weren't they? Wasn't that feeling of being on top very pleasant?"
The mournful wails lingered in the Second Prince's mansion for a long time.
——
"Chen Tian."
"My friend is dead."
"Tell me, how should I deal with you and Shin Yunbai?"
Chen Tian slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Anan, who had a dead and unusually calm face.
"She's the girl who gave you plum cake yesterday."
Chen Tian's pupils shrank, "Where's Shen Yunbai?"
"He ran away." Shen Anan's tone was so calm that it made people's scalp tingle.
Chen Tian pursed his lips, his eyes showing extremely complicated emotions.
"He did this for me, because he was worried about me..."
"That girl grew up in the capital and never participated in party disputes. She was pure and innocent. She suffered this disaster because she was pursuing the freedom she wanted. Tell me, how should we settle this account?"
Chen Tian was silent.
A short knife was thrown on the car board, and Shen Anan's voice was cold and frozen, "Do it yourself."
Chen Tian looked at the dagger quietly.
Shen Anan, "I don't have the habit of torturing people. It was Shen Yunbai who was vicious first, so I can only respond in this way."
Chen Tian bent down and picked up the dagger on the ground.
The warm red splashed out, drawing a red mark on the car body, dotted everywhere.
Shen Anan got off the carriage expressionlessly, and a cold voice came into the carriage, “If there is a next time, it will be your arms and legs.”
Chen Tian's lips were trembling and turning white, he was holding his bloody hands, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Give him medicine to stop the bleeding. Do not use anesthetic powder."
"Yes, girl."
Next to the campfire, Li Huaiyan, Qingfeng and Lin Ye were analyzing a map when suddenly a small piece of severed finger rolled to their feet.
Qingfeng and Li Huaiyan were fine, but Lin Ye's face turned pale instantly, and he quickly stood up and ran away, retching.
"The Crown Princess." Qingfeng looked up blankly.
"Find a way to pass it to Shen Yunbai and tell him that on the way back to Beijing, if I lose one person, I will cut off one of Chen Tian's fingers. If I lose two people, I will cut off one of his legs. This finger is the interest I will temporarily collect."
“…Yes.” Qingfeng bent down and silently wrapped the severed finger with a handkerchief.
Li Huaiyan's eyelids twitched.
Shen Anan turned and left without saying a word, her back was cold and ferocious, as if she were Shura.
"Sure enough," Li Huaiyan whispered, "two different people can sleep in the same bed."
This trip to Tianshui City really shattered his perceptions time and again.
On the way back to the carriage, Shen Anan met Qi Jinping, who was standing outside the carriage where Hua Sheng was, motionless.
The cold weather can temporarily protect the corpse from rotting.
What's the point of keeping cold words when you are alive, after you die?
"Even if General Qi stays here every day, Hua Sheng won't know."
"Yeah." Qi Jinping's expression didn't change at all.
Shen Anan let out a long breath.
She knew rationally that she shouldn't vent her anger on Qi Jinping. There were too many impossibilities between him and Hua Sheng. He was right to distance himself from her and speak coldly to her.
It's better than giving her hope and letting her fall deeper and deeper.
"Do you want to know about her past?"
"She said that she fell in love with you again and again as she grew older. Perhaps, others would despise her as a lunatic, because after all, she was still a little kid when you left."
"But in fact, she relies on her memory to relive you over and over again, and then slowly begins to yearn for you and love you. Her feelings are pure and clean, not abnormal."
