Chapter 242: Is it too late to beg for mercy now?
Dark Village.
It was a clear day, and it was bright and clear outside.
But it is extremely dark here, with closed doors and sealed windows. You can't see your hand in front of you. Even if you say it is night, some people still believe it.
The door slammed open with a creak, and a beam of dazzling sunlight shone in, making the people inside the room's eyes hurt.
He tried hard to open his eyes, wanting to see the face of the person who came, but he could only see the tall and slender figure. However, it was not difficult to see from this figure that he had an extraordinary demeanor.
His heart sank slightly. Could it be that he was being plotted against? Or was he being used as someone else's pawn?
However, when he thought of something, he calmed down again.
Even if he was being plotted against and used as a pawn, so what? He did it all willingly.
Based on his many years of experience with the prince, he knew that the person who secretly helped him must be either rich or noble. He knelt down with a thud.
"Thank you for your help."
Now he has been used up. You can beat him or kill him as you please.
He knew that he could not escape death. Even if the prince was successfully rescued today, even if he did not have any serious injuries, he would definitely die.
Because the Queen will definitely find out the truth about this matter, why the Prince jumped out of the water, and who whispered in his ear. Also, he believes that the Prince will not protect him, and he will definitely tell the Queen the truth that it was he who said that if he wanted to turn the tables, the only way was to frame Concubine Ning.
So, he can't survive.
He is not smart, but he is not stupid either.
Being able to rise from a small palace guard to the prince's personal guard, he is always much smarter than those who think he is stupid.
Therefore, he will definitely die, if not at the hands of the queen, then at the hands of the person who secretly helps him. As a chess piece, he knows too well what the final outcome will be.
only.
When a light was turned on, he instinctively looked towards his benefactor, and when he saw the man's face clearly, he gasped.
"Why is it you?"
Ji Chenchuan raised his eyebrows, opened his thin lips slightly, and asked back with a gentle and harmless smile on his face.
"Guard Li, why can't it be this prince?"
Ji Chenchuan doesn't need to be pretentious or pretend in front of Lin Qingjun. He just needs to be himself in front of her, whether crying, laughing, feeling wronged, happy, or anything else.
But in front of others, he is always Prince Ji, the sickly, gentle, weak, bullied, arrogant, sinister, scheming, or even fierce, domineering, and the one who doesn't give people a chance to breathe.
At this time, he was Prince Ji.
When Guard Li heard this, his heart trembled violently and he immediately lowered his head.
"I know I was wrong. I deserve to die. I shouldn't have said anything too much. Please punish me, Your Highness."
Admitting mistakes is deeply engraved in his bones. No matter whether it is his fault or not, he has to admit it, otherwise the prince will be unhappy.
However, it's no wonder he lost his composure.
No matter who it was, when they knew that the person who secretly helped him know all his plans was Ji Chenchuan, they would be shocked and lose their composure, right? After all, he was the most famous sickly person in the Great Qi Kingdom.
It was because of his frailty that he was personally taken care of by the old lady of Marquis Wu'an for more than ten years. It was also because of his frailty that the wealth of Marquis Wu'an's mansion was almost drained by him. It was also because of his frailty that he left Shangjing for fourteen years, and when he came back again, he even had to use the trick of getting married to bring good luck.
Also, everyone knows that although Ji Chenchuan is a prince, he does not have real power. Everything is controlled by Master Ji. Until now, the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion is still in the hands of this eldest son of a concubine.
But he was so sick and weak that he didn't even dare to fart.
So, how could such a person be the one in the dark?
Or...
Guard Li suddenly thought of something and his heart began to tremble again.
Could it be that he is pretending?
Thinking of this, he gasped.
If this is true, then this Prince Ji is simply too terrifying, even more terrifying than the Crown Prince, because he hid so well that even the Queen didn't find out.
Guard Li swallowed hard. Did he really not know he had offended such a person? So, it was probably too late to beg for mercy now, right?
Ji Chenchuan didn't ask him to stand up, but spoke slowly in a cold voice.
"Since you know the consequences of doing this, you should know that no one will forgive you, especially the Queen."
"So, the most important thing now is how I die. Is it a quick death, or a life worse than death?"
Their queen is not a kind person. It would be better if she were really as outsiders see her. It is true that she is a member of the Feng family, but she has been in the world for so many years and has been blinded by the powerful and wealthy. She is no longer the Feng family that the people think she is.
For her in the palace, it was extremely easy to get rid of someone silently, and it was also easy to make someone live a life worse than death. She had already arranged people in those criminal departments, and as long as she gave a look, the people there would know what to do.
Every word Ji Chenchuan said was like a piece of ice, hitting his heart hard.
Guard Li trembled all over again. "I know I cannot escape death, but please, Your Highness, grant me a favor and give me a quick death."
Even if he died, he didn't want to fall into the hands of Queen Feng because he knew what the outcome would be.
Ji Chenchuan looked down at him, and after a long time he asked.
"Why would you do this? In a few months, you can leave the palace and return home to retire with the money you've saved in the palace. Isn't that great?"
Palace guards are actually the same as palace maids. They will be released when they reach a certain age and will not be allowed to work forever. After all, as they get older, their skills and agility will decline. Newer, younger, and more capable guards will emerge one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Therefore, it is only a matter of time before they leave here and return to their hometown.
This is what happened to Guard Li. He is old enough and it is time for him to go out. He should be like the other guards, taking a lot of money back, doing some small business, marrying a pretty girl, and having a big fat boy. Wouldn't such a life be good?
When Guard Li heard this, he buried his head in the ground and burst into tears. He was both angry and furious.
"Replying to the prince, because, because I am unwilling to accept this."
"Because I, your subordinate, cannot forget the way Big Brother died. For so many years, whenever I wake up in the middle of the night, the bloody image of a skinned person keeps appearing before my eyes."
"I, I really can't let it go, and I won't let it go. I will definitely take revenge for this."
"It is precisely because I don't have much time left that I have to act so quickly."
If he doesn't take action now, he will have no chance.
Qingshan Lushui was moved when they heard this.
In fact, they all knew why he did this. He wanted to avenge the big brother named Liu.
They are both secret guards, and the brotherhood between Guard Li and Guard Liu is truly touching.
