Chapter 833 I Should Pay Back!
This is a path of no return.
Di originally thought that after telling Xiao Chenglin the truth, this mistake that had lasted for many years would stop.
But he was wrong.
Xiao Chenglin outwardly complied and promised to forget everything from the past, but in reality, the seeds of hatred had already taken root and sprouted in his heart.
He hates Ogiwara!
He hates him for ruining his life!
If it weren't for Ogiwara, he could have lived a good life as the fourth prince, but in this world, there are never "ifs".
Xiao Chenglin made up his mind to continue down that path.
Taking advantage of Ogiwara's lack of vigilance, he devised a plan to capture Ogiwara and imprison him in the Ministry of Justice's death row.
There, Ogiwara suffered greatly.
Only by making him suffer the pain of being torn to pieces can Xiao Chenglin's hatred be appeased!
But he couldn't let Ogiwara die either. If Ogiwara died, no one in the world could prove that he was the former crown prince.
Thus began seven years of imprisonment and torture.
Ogiwara knew the hatred in his heart.
No matter how Xiao Chenglin treated him, he endured it all.
Because he felt that he was indeed at fault in this matter.
After all, this was the child he had once placed high hopes on and raised with great care and effort, and a trace of reluctance remained in Ogiwara's heart.
So much so that when he realized that Xiao Chenglin wanted to continue pretending to be the real crown prince of the previous dynasty, after struggling and agonizing for a long time, he actually acquiesced.
"This jade pendant is the best evidence."
Xiao Chengqi took out half of a jade pendant from his bosom and held it high so that everyone could see it clearly.
He stared at Xiao Chenglin.
"If Ogiwara had truly betrayed you, he wouldn't have brought this with him when he came to join you, would he?"
Xiao Chenglin's jaw was clenched, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.
He stared intently at the half of the jade pendant, then looked at Ogihara.
"You've been expecting this day all along, haven't you? From the very beginning, you harbored disloyal intentions! And you still dare to claim loyalty to the late emperor and the Great Zhou? Diyuan! Don't you think this is utterly ridiculous!"
The rebels were already in chaos when the jade pendant appeared.
Everything else can be lied about, everything else can be fake, but that jade pendant can't possibly be fake!
Countless pairs of eyes looked at Xiao Chenglin with suspicion, making him feel uneasy.
Xiao Chenglin's palms were covered in cold sweat.
He knew that at this point, he had no way out!
Xiao Chenglin shouted sternly—
"Ogiwara! When the late emperor entrusted his son to you, you swore an oath! You vowed to fight to the death to restore the Great Zhou! Now—have you forgotten it all!?"
A cold wind howled, and the flags fluttered in the wind.
Despite the freezing weather, Ogiwara felt that nothing could be colder than the coldness in his heart at that moment.
A hazy mist appeared in his eyes, as if he were recalling something from a long time ago.
"It's kind of you to remember..."
He managed to twitch the corners of his mouth with difficulty, as if he wanted to laugh, but his body was frozen stiff and his lips were completely bloodless.
He was once truly proud of Xiao Chenglin, believing that with such an outstanding prince, the restoration of the Great Zhou Dynasty was only a matter of time.
But it turns out that everything, from the very beginning, was a mistake.
Ogiwara coughed again.
Ye Chutang frowned slightly, "Uncle Di?"
Ogiwara shook his head.
"Since I'm here today, I want to make things clear."
His gaze swept over the numerous rebel soldiers, a look of sorrow appearing in his eyes.
"It's my fault that so many people lost their lives in vain... I should pay for it!"
Shen Yanchuan looked over, and a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.
The next moment, Ogiwara suddenly pushed his wheelchair forward and headed straight ahead!
Ye Chutang was startled!
"Uncle Di—!"
