With such conclusive evidence, what else can Su Lichen say?
At this moment, he was as if he had lost his soul, and Jing Zhe's Emperor's Sword was already pointed at his head. He said coldly, "I just said I could spare your life, but now it seems that you don't even deserve to be spared!"
A cold glint caught Su Lichen's eye, and he shuddered, immediately saying, "President Jing, you're going to marry my imperial sister Mo Chen sooner or later. Are you really going to kill me? Aren't you afraid Mo Chen will blame you later?"
In the end, Su Lichen had no choice but to try anything, so he brought up Su Mochen, hoping that Jing Zhe would back down.
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe could only sneer.
"Now you remember you have a younger sister? When you killed your father, did you ever think about that? Remember that he was your own father, remember that you had a younger sister? Now that you're about to die, you finally remember? Well, let me tell you, it's too late!"
"..."
Seeing that Jing Zhe remained unmoved, Su Lichen said again, "Fine, you can not forgive me, you can kill me, but can you let me see Mo Chen one last time? I have done many bad things, but I have never mistreated my little sister! I also believe that my little sister must want to see me one last time, otherwise she may regret it for the rest of her life!"
Seeing that Jing Zhe's path was blocked, Su Lichen could only take Su Mochen's path. As long as he met Su Mochen, he could reason with her, appeal to her emotions, and bring up the things from their childhood. In addition, Su Mochen was a sentimental person, so he believed she would definitely not want him to die!
Jing Zhe might not listen to Su Lichen, but surely he wouldn't ignore his woman, Su Mochen?
Even now, Su Lichen is still pursuing his own agenda.
However, Jing Zhe remained unmoved.
"Before I came here to see you, I was with Mo Chen the whole time, and I asked her if she would be willing to come here to see you. Guess what she said?"
"..."
After Jing Zhe finished speaking, the cell was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Su Lichen, who had still held onto a sliver of hope, had all his illusions shattered in an instant. He became like a walking corpse, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes vanished.
He once thought that his sister would always be his sister. After all, he had never had any ill intentions towards Su Mochen since childhood. He and Su Limin fought openly and secretly for the throne, but when it came to Su Mochen, he was just as sincere as Su Limin.
He once thought that their sibling relationship would last forever, but now it was about to end. At this moment, he realized that it was all his own fault, since he himself had severed his father-son relationship with Emperor An.
Jing Zhe didn't care whether he was upset or not, and said directly, "At that time, Mo Chen didn't say anything about how he would treat you, he just told me to come over by myself."
"..."
Actually, even without Jing Zhe saying it, Su Lichen could have guessed it.
Su Mochen's decision not to appear here indicates that she is extremely disappointed in them and feels that even seeing them is unnecessary.
"hehe…"
Su Lichen smiled bitterly. Perhaps only now did he realize the truth, but it was too late.
"Jing Zhe, you must never let Mo Chen down in the future!"
Jing Zhe nodded and said, "This is probably the only truly correct thing you've ever said in your life. If you have a next life, may you be born into an ordinary family!"
After Jing Zhe finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the sharp blade of the Emperor's Sword slashed across Su Lichen's neck.
Jing Zhe had already done everything he could for Su Lichen. He couldn't let Su Lichen live just because of a few words from him, so he could only end his life as quickly as possible, which would also help alleviate his suffering.
...
With a loud thud, Su Lichen fell straight to the ground.
Although he felt that Su Lichen was bound to die and even hoped that Su Lichen would die, after all, with Su Lichen dead, Su Limin's last rival would also disappear, he was still afraid when Su Lichen was actually killed in front of him and fell straight at Su Limin's feet.
A feeling of desolation instantly arose.
However, Su Limin also knew that destruction is the prerequisite for construction. Since Jing Zhe had killed Su Lichen in front of him, he would most likely not kill him again. After a moment of grief, he became excited again.
Finally, one day, he was able to look forward to his future!
In this light, when faced with self-interest, even kinship is absent, so where is the compassion?
"this…"
Just as Su Limin was secretly pleased, Jing Zhe did not retract his Emperor's Sword, nor did he wipe away the bloodstain on the blade. Instead, he raised it again and pointed it at Su Limin.
Su Limin was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "Wasn't it over after killing Su Lichen? I at least settled the Zhu and Yu families in my own mansion, which can be considered a great achievement. It's one thing for Jing Zhe not to reward me, but why does he have to kill me?"
So he immediately said, "President Jing, you can't kill me!"
Why?
"You can't kill me just for the sake of the Yu and Zhu family members who are still living in my mansion!"
Su Limin said emotionally, "President Jing, I know you must think that Su Lichen's collusion with the Southern Qi and the Prince of Jin, and his subsequent murder of my father and usurpation of the throne, is related to me, right?"
Jing Zhe glanced at him and said calmly, "What, is it not related?"
"Of course not—or rather, not entirely!"
Su Limin immediately explained, "President Jing, as I just said, from beginning to end, I have only ever been a subject. He was my elder brother back then, and later the Emperor. Whatever he said, could I possibly object to it besides agreeing?"
Su Limin looked heartbroken and said in a sorrowful voice, "I can only try to survive by playing along, but I still strongly oppose his actions! For example, this time, he asked me to send the Yu and Zhu families to the Southern Qi camp outside the city. I agreed on the surface, but secretly kept them at home!"
Su Limin's words implied that he was trying his best to distance himself from Su Lichen, that Su Lichen's previous actions had nothing to do with him, and that even if he had done them, it was just a charade.
Furthermore, he kept emphasizing the affairs of the Yu and Zhu families, which was actually a deliberate attempt to enlighten Jing Zhe and let him know his own worth.
After listening, Jing Zhe nodded approvingly and said, "Oh, so according to you, you had no choice but to tip off Nan Qi?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Su Limin's face immediately turned red.
However, he was thick-skinned after all, so he immediately defended himself, saying, "President Jing is indeed a prophet! I know I can't do anything by Su Lichen's side, so I deliberately gained the trust of Southern Qi. That way, if Southern Qi really wants to attack Jingzhou in the future, I can know in advance and inform the people of Jingzhou!"
"..."
