Chapter 229 Go to hell with your face-changing act at the hot pot restaurant!
Pei Anqing suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, "Pei Yanchuan, you don't actually think that's all I'm prepared to do to kill you, do you?"
"To tell you the truth, I have buried gunpowder in this room. If I don't fire a signal flare within an hour, someone will light the fuse."
Pei Anqing counted on his fingers, "If I count the time, it's almost been an hour, hahahahaha."
Ping An asked in horror, "Pei Anqing, are you going to blow up everyone here? Why didn't I know?"
"This princess has no intention of dying alongside you bunch of fools!"
Ping An was about to leave when Pei Anqing said, "Hahaha, it's too late."
"Pei Yanchuan, since I can't kill you, I'll drag you all down with me!"
He had already planned his escape route, and as for Princess Ping'an, he simply pinned all the blame on her.
"You madman!" Ping An shouted, "What do you want to do?"
"This princess really fell for your trick, trusted you, and was used by you." Ping An slapped Pei Anqing hard across the face. "You must have an escape route, right?"
"Tell me the truth. If you take me out of here, I'll let you go. Otherwise, my mother won't let you off the hook."
Pei Anqing flung away Ping An's hand that was gripping his sleeve, pointed around, and said, "You all, just go to hell."
As he spoke, he ran toward the back window, but just as he climbed over it, someone kicked him inside.
Mo Qing leaped in through the window.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Pei Yanchuan and said, "Your Highness, those people outside have been dealt with."
"The buried gunpowder has already been thrown into the water by my subordinates."
Pei Yanchuan nodded slightly.
Ping An breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, while Pei Anqing exclaimed incredulously, "How is this possible?"
"You were just brought here upon arrival, how could you possibly know?"
Mo Ran snorted coldly, "Guess why it wasn't Lord Gongsun who came, but his deputy?"
Pei Anqing looked at Pei Yanchuan in disbelief. "I don't believe it. I was just one step ahead of you. How could you have found out?"
"That's why you can never kill the prince." Mo Qing kicked Pei Anqing to the ground.
Pei Anqing sensed something was wrong and immediately crawled to Pei Yanchuan's side, pointing at Ping An and pleading, "Father, Father, I was wrong."
“It’s all her fault, she’s the one who made the child do this.”
"I was confused for a moment and did something wrong. Please forgive me. I was wrong, I was wrong."
Pei Anqing kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"I really admire you, Pei Anqing," Shen Ruzhi said. "Your skin is really thick; you can change your face in an instant."
"Why don't you go perform face-changing at your mother's hot pot restaurant?"
Shen Ruzhi pointed at Jiang Wanning, "You should beg your mother, maybe she can give you more money."
Pei Anqing clenched his hands tightly and glared fiercely at Shen Ruzhi.
"What are you worried about? Are you going to eat me?" Shen Ruzhi said.
Pei Yanchuan said coldly, "I have given you many chances. For the sake of your biological father, I will allow you to commit suicide."
Pei Anqing was stunned for a moment. The reason he had been able to do whatever he wanted was because he was sure that Pei Yanchuan wouldn't kill him. Hearing this, he thought for a second that he had misheard.
"What...what did you say?"
"I don't want to say it a second time, but if you're unwilling to do it yourself, I won't mind doing it for you."
Pei Anqing knew Pei Yanchuan all too well; once he spoke, he was never joking, and there was no possibility of him taking it back, unless...
Pei Anqing suddenly grabbed Jiang Wanning's skirt, "Ningning, Ningning, please save me."
"Please, for the sake of our past, save me. I promise I won't bother you again and won't be an eyesore to you."
Pei Anqing's words only made things worse. Mo Qing and Mo Ran felt a chill run down their spines, and they felt sorry for Pei Anqing...
How dare you mention his past with the princess in front of the prince? Isn't that courting death?
Even if the prince didn't want to kill him, he would still have to.
Before Jiang Wan Ning could even pull out her skirt, a sharp sword flashed, and two streaks of blood appeared on Pei An Qing's hand.
"Ah—" With a scream, Pei Anqing fell backward.
Pei Yanchuan pointed his sword at Pei Anqing, "I originally wanted you to die with dignity, but you had to disgust people before you died."
"Since that's the case, I will grant your wish."
“Mo Qing, Mo Ran,” Pei Yanchuan called out.
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Whipping," Pei Yanchuan said coldly.
The whipping punishment Pei Yanchuan mentioned was not the whip that Jiang Wanning and Tuoba Yan'er used, but a barbed rattan whip soaked in salt water.
No one can withstand ten lashes from this whip.
Compared to whipping, being sentenced to death was practically a blessing.
"You...you can't do this." Pei Anqing pushed off the ground and took two steps back. "How can you do this to my deceased father?"
"You promised him you would take good care of me."
“His Highness has already done more than enough.” Mo Ran couldn’t help but say, “Back then, it was your father who was greedy for merit and acted rashly. His Highness has spared you time and time again because of the kindness shown to him with a single cake back then.”
When Pei Yanchuan first joined the army, Pei Anqing's biological father shared half of his own pancake with Pei Yanchuan when the army's food supplies were running low and everyone was starving.
"This piece of cake has allowed you to enjoy wealth and luxury for so long, and even given you the title of heir apparent."
"If you are a grateful person, it is not impossible for you to be given the future title of Prince of Langya."
"But all these years you have not only shown no gratitude, but have also tried to kill the Prince time and time again. Pei Anqing, you deserve to die!" Mo Ran shouted angrily.
“If this had happened to anyone else, the grass on your grave would have been cut countless times by now.”
“Mo Ran, you’re wrong,” Shen Ruzhi said. “No one will cut the grass on his grave for someone like him. Go and whip him with a small leather whip!”
"Wait!" Jiang Wanning suddenly said.
"It's not Ningning, you're not reluctant to part with her, are you?"
Upon hearing Shen Ruzhi's words, Pei Anqing's eyes lit up with hope. Looking at Jiang Wanning tenderly, he said, "Ningning, I knew it..."
“If you tell me who’s behind this, I can have the Prince give you a quick death,” Jiang Wanning interrupted Pei Anqing.
She rarely interrupts people, but every time Pei Anqing speaks to her, it makes her feel nauseous for a long time.
Pei Anqing was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"You stupid brain, and you've only been out of prison for a short time, so you probably don't know much about the outside world."
"If you tell me who instructed you to tell you these things, you can die a quicker death today."
Pei Anqing held no official position, was not the prince's biological son, and repeatedly attempted to assassinate the prince. Even if he were executed on the spot, no one would say anything.
Jiang Wan Ning suddenly remembered the person behind Pei An Qing in her past life. If she could find out about this person today, she would be willing to let him die a quick death.
