In the dark dungeon, widow Chen Yan was tied to a wooden frame with a piece of cotton cloth stuffed in her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue to commit suicide.
Her eyes were empty, filled with pity and despair, with dried tears at the corners of her eyes.
Soon, the dungeon door opened.
Shen Yanshuang raised her eyes coldly, looked at the expected person in front of her, and sneered.
Xiao Luochen, dressed in a plain brocade robe, had a sinister look in his eyes that revealed fatigue and hidden sadness. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Chen Yanshuang's hair fiercely, and lifted her head up.
He also pulled the cotton cloth out of her mouth.
"What did she mean by what she said to you before she died?"
Chen Yan's scalp was red and her eyes were red. She looked at Xiao Luochen with deep hatred and sneered coldly.
"She's already dead, but you still won't let her go. She said before she died that she didn't want to be trapped in this deep palace backyard for the rest of her life, but now, you're still pestering her like this."
"No wonder Awu would do something that would set herself on fire."
She was deliberately provoking him to kill her.
Since Sheng Wu died last night, she was imprisoned by Xiao Luochen before she could commit suicide.
However, Xiao Luochen vaguely guessed from her conversation with Sheng Wu last night that once Chen Yanshuang died, she would leave here.
Go back somewhere!
Therefore, he would never kill Shen Yanshuang no matter what!
"You can die if you want, but you have to tell me what secrets there are between you and Awu. Can she still come back to life?"
"Otherwise, even if I won't let you die, I won't let you live well either!"
Xiao Luochen pulled Chen Yanshuang's hair, staring at her with his scarlet pupils full of scars and bloodshot eyes. His face was cold and gloomy, and the dark circles under his eyes were a little black, obviously he was in a mess after not sleeping all night.
He even had a fantasy about Sheng Wu coming back to life.
The aura around him was terrifying and oppressive, with a faint black air.
"What do you think?"
Seeing this, Shen Yanshuang sneered and was not afraid of his oppression.
"If I had a way to revive her, I would want her to live well more than anyone else!"
In the end, the two parted ways unhappily.
Even though Xiao Luochen understood that Shen Yanshuang really had no way to revive Sheng Wu, he did not kill her.
Perhaps, she was thinking darkly, Sheng Wu cares about her so much, if he knew that she was living in such pain, I'm afraid.
To hold a grudge against yourself also means that you have your own feelings in your heart, right...
......
Pei Mansion.
Pei Yuqing did not stay awake all night like Xiao Luochen, but...
After watching Xiao Luochen take Sheng Wu's body away, he returned to Pei Mansion without saying a word and slept normally.
However, he always held a golden hairpin tightly in his hand, and the blue veins on the back of his hand never relaxed.
In the silent and lonely night.
A crystal drop fell silently on the pillow.
She was so cruel. She said a lot to Xiao Luochen and Chen Yanshuang that night. Even though she was lying to them, she didn't leave a single word for herself.
Finally, a few words for myself.
May you be alone and unloved forever.
Obviously she was so cruel and heartless, he should have hated and resented her, but when did he lose control of his heart?
Now that she is gone, there will be no one to quarrel with me anymore.
Can approach me without restraint.
He is truly lonely and unloved forever.
It’s true.
She lied to him when she said she wanted his heart.
She hadn't even taken any action to plot against me yet, so how could she actually leave?
She really has no attachment or care.
Sheng Wu, you crazy woman, liar!
......
Twenty years later, Xiao Luochen still didn't let Shen Yanshuang go.
Not only did he ensure that her body was well taken care of and that she was not allowed to die, he also made her suffer like himself.
He also monitored her every day, trying to find any connection between her and Sheng Wu.
Finally, it might be that he initially fed Chen Yanshuang the poison in order to threaten Sheng Wu, causing her to develop a chronic illness.
So, at the age of 39, Widow Chen Yan finally died as she wished.
On the day she died, she was sitting under a light-transmitting window in the dungeon where she had been imprisoned for twenty years.
As if sensing that her end was near, she curled her lips.
Awu, in this life, I have never been able to say that I like you.
In the next life, you wait for me in my world, no matter what gender you are.
I will still come to love you.
When Xiao Luochen came to see the body of Shen Yan's widow, he saw her with a smile of relief and expectation on her face.
It seemed that after her death, she would be able to see the person she wanted to see most.
Xiao Luochen's body trembled. His handsome face, which had been etched with the years, was now filled with the calmness of middle age and a hint of long-suppressed sadness.
Looking at the body of Shen Yan's widow, his heart ached, and he always felt that he seemed to have missed something.
It seems that the relationship between him and Shen Yanshuang shouldn't be like this.
“Ha, hahaha, hahaha!”
However, as he watched, he suddenly burst into laughter, with mist at the corners of his eyes, and pain and miserable sorrow in his cloudy eyes.
Sheng Wu, the person you cared about is finally dead. Will you blame me?
Even she is dead, so she can go to the underworld to see you.
But I dare not die, I dare not abandon this land and the people.
Just keep going!
Finally, Xiao Luochen slowly walked out of the cold dungeon with a yellowed piece of paper and a broken brush in his hand and continued.
In this cold palace, guarding the vast land.
