"What spell... I... don't know."
Wen Xu'an wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke weakly to Qingli.
At this time, the medicine in his body took effect and his body began to feel hot.
Seeing that he still refused to admit it, Qingli found it funny and laughed.
"I've broken the spell, and you're still being stubborn!"
Qingli continued, "Did the person who cast the curse on you tell you that if the curse is lifted, you will suffer a backlash, and in serious cases, you may even die?"
Wen Xu'an raised his eyes and looked at Qingli blankly.
"Backlash?"
He doesn't know.
At the beginning, he only said that this would make the princess die against him, but he didn't say what would happen after the curse was lifted.
He thought that Qingli had cast some kind of magic on him, causing him so much pain.
It turned out to be a backlash?
"You don't know, don't you?"
Qingli asked.
Wen Xu'an shook his head, "I...I don't know."
Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I didn't do it on purpose. It was a man who suddenly came to me and said that he could make the princess fall in love with me and would marry me forever. I was bewitched and believed him. Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Wen Xu'an no longer wants fame and fortune, he just wants to save his own life.
Everyone in the capital knew Nangong Yan's character. He was ruthless and would not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes.
Now the only thing I can do is to beg for mercy and pray that he will have mercy on me. Not killing him is the best outcome.
Nangong Yan frowned slightly, "Someone found you, who?"
Wen Xu'an shook his head, "I don't know, it was a man in his teens, I didn't know him, he cut my hair and my birth date, and he never showed up again."
Nangong Yan thought quickly in his mind, but couldn't think of a suitable one.
He asked in a cold voice: "You mean, it wasn't you who deliberately cast a curse on the princess for the sake of wealth and glory? Instead, someone came to you and said that he could make the princess hate you to death, and took the initiative to cast a curse on the two of you?"
Wen Xu'an nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I dare not bully you. It's really like this. I am a first-class commoner. Where can I find a master who can cast a curse? I don't even know what a curse is. This is the first time I know of such a thing. I am really not a commoner. I have also been harmed. Please, Your Majesty, please forgive me! Please, Your Majesty, forgive me. I know I was wrong."
Wen Xuan is afraid of death. He doesn't want to die, so he can only desperately look for opportunities.
Qingli opened the door and said, "If that's the case, then your sister has a child, and that child wants her to have a hard time, so he deliberately lured Wen Xu'an to cast a curse on them. You have to be careful in the future."
Qingli reminded Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan naturally thought of this as well.
"If you can find out the reason behind this, I can consider sparing your life."
Nangong Yan said to Wen Xu'an.
Wen Xu'an became anxious when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, I don't know! I have never seen him before. I was curious and wanted to find him, but I couldn't find him! He seemed to appear out of thin air, and disappeared after a short while. I can't find him."
Wen Xu'an was very greedy. After gaining benefits from this curse, he had been wanting to find it again. He felt that many things might not be obtained through hard work, but through such shortcuts.
So he wanted to know more and get to know that person, but he tried many ways and searched for a long time but still couldn't find that person.
It is impossible to find it now if you want to.
"In that case, then go and die!"
Nangong Yan waved his hand, and the guard drew his knife and approached Wen Xu'an.
Wen and his mother's eyes widened immediately, full of fear. This was the only son of their Wen family, he couldn't let him die!
No matter how panicked the two were, they could only make a humming sound and could not make any other sound.
Wen Xu'an was so scared that he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Just as the guard's knife was about to chop Wen Xu'an, he suddenly said, "I have a way, Your Majesty, I have a way."
Wen Xu'an's body was soaked with cold sweat, and he said hurriedly in a panic: "Your Majesty, since that man has something to do with the princess, he will definitely monitor the princess secretly. He will definitely show up again. Your Majesty can keep me. I didn't marry the princess as he expected. He...he must be very unhappy and will definitely show up to find me again."
Nangong Yan was obviously unhappy, "Is this the solution you mentioned?"
Wen Xu'an was very nervous, and he panted and said, "Your Majesty, I am sure I can still do it, I am sure I can still do it, I beg Your Majesty to spare my life to atone for my sins."
Qingli said to Nangong Yan: "What he said makes sense, why not keep it!"
Nangong Yan looked at Qingli, who smiled and said, "The wine that Master Wen drank just now has not taken effect yet! When we just came here, were there a few old beggar women over there? Why don't we go and ask them if they are willing to stay with Master Wen for a night? If they are willing, let them come in and help Master Wen remove the effects of the medicine."
Nangong Yan felt a chill when he thought of the old beggar women he had just seen.
Look at Wen Xu'an again. Although he is in a very embarrassed state at this moment, he is still a handsome young man.
Wen Xu'an and the old beggar woman, that scene was hard to accept.
"Why don't I go and ask them if they are willing?"
Qingli tilted her head, looking at Gu Ling mischievously with a look of gloating in her eyes.
Nangong Yan nodded, "Okay, go ahead!"
Qingli came back quickly and brought the beggar women with her.
This was such good news that the beggar women were very happy and hurriedly followed after hearing it.
When he saw Wen Xu'an's expression, he became even more excited.
As for the two sisters of the Wen family, Qingli suggested that they should be left to endure the pain, locked in their rooms, until tomorrow when the effect of the medicine would have worn off. However, this tormenting process would be very painful and could be considered a punishment.
Nangong Yan listened to her advice and thought that keeping Wen Xu'an alive might help him find the culprit behind the incident, so he decided to spare his life for the time being.
