Chapter 533 Mental Consumption
"In three days, the academy will resume classes. I hope everyone can go back to class and study hard. Nothing that harms students will happen again in the future."
They can eat and sleep well in the college without spending a penny. Life is really much better than at home. If nothing happens, many students would like to stay in the college for the rest of their lives.
"Yes, I am willing to go back to the academy to study. I want to study."
"I would like to do that, too."
Gradually, there were more and more positive voices among the crowd.
After Su Ying knelt down, the voices accusing her disappeared overnight, and her reputation was saved.
Night falls.
Su Ying appeared outside a cell door deep in the sky prison that was unknown to outsiders.
The Minister of Justice personally stepped forward to open the cell door for Su Ying.
"My queen, be careful." After saying that, he stepped aside.
Su Ying pushed open the cell door and walked in.
The cell was dark, with only a faint light coming in through a skylight.
The dim light fell on a thin figure in the corner.
Hearing the noise, the figure slowly raised his head and looked towards Su Ying, with suppressed madness in his eyes, "Su Ying, why don't you kill me!" This person was none other than Zhou Xiangrong who was beheaded during the day.
Looking closely, one can see two large barbs firmly embedded in Zhou Xiangrong's butterfly bones, but she seems to feel no pain.
Su Ying closed the cell door with her backhand and pulled off the cloak on her head, revealing a pair of dark eyes in the darkness.
"Killing you would be too easy for you.
Su Ying took out a fire starter and lit a stick of incense.
The curl of white smoke floated out and entered Zhou Xiangrong's nose.
Zhou Xiangrong felt his eyes go dark.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw a sturdy iron cage with people standing outside it.
Those people's eyes were full of contempt and indifference, and they looked at her as if she were a commodity.
She was sold, probably because of her young age, and was sold to a brothel to do hard labor, serving women who were bruised and battered by men.
Their faces looked dead, but their eyes held strong hatred.
She just spilled their inferior rouge, and they punished themselves with the most vicious means. She was the outlet for them to vent their resentment.
Zhou Xiangrong was thrown to the ground like a rag, but she was not afraid. She believed that as long as she grew up, one day she would trample all these people under her feet!
A man appeared in her life and told her that she could trust him. Zhou Xiangrong sneered in her heart. For her, the man was just a stepping stone to climb up. How could she really care about him?
The man brought her out of the wolf's den, raised her carefully, and even took care of her when she was sick.
Zhou Xiangrong's cold heart softened. Perhaps this man really cared about her.
But this still couldn't change her determination to climb up through her. Once she had the opportunity, she took the initiative to let the man send her to a powerful man. On the day he left, she saw the suppressed emotions in his eyes.
Zhou Xiangrong thought that he was just using her.
She was beautiful and intelligent, and won the favor of the powerful man. She was finally able to stand in front of people in a glamorous manner and listen to flattery like never before.
This kind of pride of standing in the clouds made her satisfied.
He asked her to steal the man's secrets, and she did so. But just when she thought his plan was about to succeed, she collapsed when the man appeared in front of her with his head in his hand.
"No, no!" Zhou Xiangrong screamed madly, and tried frantically to snatch the head and hold it in his arms.
After that night, she completely returned to her previous self and served the man carefully. When the man completely let down his guard against her, she killed him with one blow.
She avenged him. When she carried the man's head to his grave, she saw him standing in front of her with a smug smile on his face. A sharp dagger pierced her heart.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
His cold words kept lingering in her ears, "Just a chess piece. You have completed your mission and it is time for you to die."
Zhou Xiangrong roared unwillingly, "No, no!"
Su Ying stood in the cell and narrowed her eyes as she looked at Zhou Xiangrong, whose face was hideous and in pain.
This incense can evoke the most painful experiences accumulated deep in a person's heart, and will make this experience replay in your mind repeatedly with different time backgrounds, making you repeatedly chew on the pain that breaks every inch of your bones.
Su Ying rarely used this kind of mental torture. To her, the most painful thing in the world was death, because when she died, she would lose everything.
But when dealing with someone like Zhou Xiangrong, even if it means death, I must completely destroy her will before I die!
As long as she doesn't take the medicine, Zhou Xiangrong will always be immersed in such hallucinations, repeatedly wasting time and torturing herself.
Su Ying turned and left the cell. When she felt that Zhou Xiangrong had suffered enough, she would come back to send her to heaven.
Xiao Jin was waiting outside the Ministry of Justice prison. When he saw Su Ying coming out, he lifted the curtain and motioned for her to get on the carriage.
As soon as Su Ying got on the carriage, she smelled a sweet scent, and Xiao Jin didn't know when a bag of snacks appeared in his hand.
"When you're in a bad mood, eat something sweet and you'll be happy again."
Su Ying looked at the snack in her hand and always felt that he was coaxing a child. But when she put the soft and cool chestnut cake into her mouth, she did feel better.
"Didn't kill her?"
Su Ying took a sip of the chestnut cake in her mouth and said, "No, she doesn't deserve to die now."
Xiao Jin's expression was gloomy. "He is a scheming and ambitious person."
"In this world, all cruel things are caused by human greed and desire. She can be unwilling to accept the status quo, but she should not resort to any means necessary."
"Are you really going to let King Jiangning go like this?"
"He is not a threat. His second son is still in his fiefdom. If we touch him, wouldn't it give the people in his fiefdom an excuse to rebel?" The Chu State's treasury has already suffered too much loss from the wars in the past two years. If there is civil unrest now, it will only cause greater losses to the country. This is not a good thing, especially since the court has not yet completely stabilized.
Su Yingen nodded. She didn't want to ask too much about these things. It was enough as long as Xiao Jin could handle it.
"Are you hungry?"
They came here after dinner, so Su Ying shouldn't be very hungry.
But after hearing him ask this, she seemed to be a little hungry again.
"Go back to the palace to eat?"
Xiao Jin shook his head, gave the driver an instruction, and then said to her, "I'll take you to a place where there is a delicious snack."
Su Ying felt that Xiao Jin was a person who had no desire for food, and it was rare that he would take the initiative to take her out to eat something.
At this time, there were no pedestrians on the busy street during the day, but after the carriage turned into an inconspicuous side street, the light outside the carriage became brighter.
Su Ying followed Xiao Jin out of the car and looked at the scene in front of her with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
