Chapter 737 Imprisonment

Outside the palace.

In the dim basement.

Si Jinyu was imprisoned in a secret room, dressed in black and covered in blood. The man who was always well-dressed and elegant now had disheveled hair and several obvious wounds on his clothes caused by knives and arrows.

His hands were tightly chained, and his elegant and handsome face was stained with blood.

But he seemed not to care and just sat quietly with his eyes closed.

He had been locked up here for two days after his failed stabbing attempt.

During these two days, no one questioned him, and no one cared about him except for his daily eating and drinking.

Si Jinyu didn't know what was going on outside, but for now, he was still waiting.

Waiting for the news of King Li's death.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound of an iron door outside.

The sound of footsteps, neither light nor heavy, echoed in the underground space and slowly came towards him.

Si Jinyu opened his eyes and knew that the result he had been waiting for had come.

Looking towards the door, I saw that the door of the secret room was opened, and then a familiar and majestic figure came into view.

The moment he saw who was coming, Si Jinyu's pupils were filled with coldness.

"You are disappointed to see that the king is not dead."

The person who came was none other than King Li. He looked at Si Jinyu with a sneer on his face and walked towards him step by step.

Although he looked normal, a closer look revealed that his face was still a little pale.

Yes, Si Jinyu stabbed him in the chest with a sword. If the angle was a little more off, I'm afraid he would have succeeded.

Although King Li was lucky enough to survive, he suffered a lot in the past two days. He had to lie in bed for two full days before he could walk.

When Si Jinyu saw the newcomer standing in front of him, he knew that the plan he had been planning for several years had failed.

I'm afraid all these warriors that he had raised over the years didn't survive, and he was the only one left.

However, right now, he didn't want to say anything more to this man.

But, just give him this life.

"The Emperor sent many people to look for you. On the surface, they said they wanted to arrest the assassin for my uncle, but in fact, it was for the Empress Lang in the palace. Unfortunately, they never realized that the claim that the assassin escaped was a lie."

The real assassin was captured on the spot by him and his men.

In fact, if the empress in the palace had not sent someone to inform him in advance, with Si Jinyu's careful deployment that day, he might really have been able to let him succeed and escape unscathed.

But there is no need to say these words to him.

Si Jinyu didn't say a word from beginning to end, and was not moved by his words. Because she was too lazy to see this face again, Si Jinyu simply closed her eyes and ignored him.

Until the man's rough fingertips suddenly touched his cheek.

Si Jinyu suddenly closed his eyes, his eyes were filled with frightening cold anger, he tilted his head and said angrily, "Don't touch me!"

King Li had just wiped some dried blood off his cheek, and when he saw his cold and angry expression, there was a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

He just looked at Si Jinyu's cold and angry eyes, and suddenly he smiled.

"Your face is exactly the same as hers. When I first saw you in Yutai Mountain, I thought I was seeing things."

As he spoke, he suddenly reached out, one hand suddenly clamped his chin, and forced Si Jinyu's face to face him, with a hint of madness in his eyes.

"But she never dared to stare at me like you do. She is so timid, and she always looks scared and terrified when she looks at me. But I never thought that she would be so brave as to give birth to someone else's child behind my back!!"

When he said the last sentence, King Li's voice suddenly burst out with anger and rage. He loosened his grip on Si Jinyu's hand and slapped Si Jinyu hard on the handsome face.

Si Jinyu was hit hard on the head by him, and when she turned back, there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

There was no anger or humiliation on his face. He just stared coldly at the powerful king in front of him. After a long while, he finally uttered two words through his teeth:

"Mad."
