The Empress Dowager was still following the convention that villains must first make harsh remarks when seeking death. Fei Wan listened expressionlessly as she excitedly spoke of her "hardships" from the past.
Fei Wan raised his lips in disdain and was about to retort and scold her to wake her up, but unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager suddenly stopped.
The Empress Dowager's eyes rolled in her sockets, but she kept staring at her with a strange look on her face. "It's all her fault. If she had died earlier, you wouldn't be here. You all deserve to die. How could someone who was destined to die at the age of twenty-five ascend to the throne?"
The anxiety and grief of these days finally broke out. After all, she was half buried in the ground. I heard that he liked this girl very much. If he could kill the girl in front of him.
A fierce look flashed in her eyes, and she took off the golden hairpin from her temples and was about to stab Fei Wan.
Fei Wan's reaction speed was extremely fast, but before she could show her skills, someone stood in front of her.
The next moment, without even any effort, the Empress Dowager was thrown to the ground and rolled on the ground.
She was usually very dignified, but now she looked extremely disheveled. Her face was twisted and covered with wrinkles, and there was no trace of her usual kind face.
"Pei... Pei Xiuyan!"
She lay on the ground, spitting out blood, staring at the man in front of her.
"How could you have the heart to kill him? He is your father, and you are father and son!!"
Filial piety was the most important virtue in ancient times, and killing one's father to ascend the throne was undoubtedly equivalent to committing a heinous crime that was enough to make the world despise him.
Pei Xiuyan's face remained unchanged, not even a trace of guilt. He gently bent down, a smile etched across his lips. "Why does the Imperial Grandmother miss my father so much? How could you have the heart to pour the poison into my mother's mouth?"
"When my father was assassinated, he personally used me to block the knife. How could he bear it? I have a heart disease, and he only wants to use me to balance the power among the princes. How could he bear it?"
Every word was heartbreaking, but Pei Xiuyan's eyes showed no sadness or joy, as if he was narrating something insignificant to others.
He stood up and said in a gentle voice, "I originally wanted to let my mother see the decline of this country, but since my grandmother keeps talking about my father, she must miss him very much. How can I bear to separate you and your son?"
He gave a gentle smile, and the coldness in his eyes made people's scalps tingle.
"Why don't you let the Empress Dowager go down and accompany him?"
After saying that, the guards following him dragged the person up from the ground. Her nails scratched a faint mark on the ground and she screamed miserably.
Pei Xiuyan seemed to have seen nothing. Instead, he took the hand of the person beside him and smiled: "Awan, let's go back to the palace. Is there anything you want to eat tonight?"
His tone was as gentle as usual, and if you ignored the miserable cries behind him, it would be no different from an ordinary conversation.
It was obvious that Fei Wan came to bully the scumbag, but for some reason Pei Xiuyan followed him.
But it happened that this time, she finally understood what kind of life Pei Xiuyan lived when he was young.
She didn't ask any further questions, but held him tightly, curved her eyes, and replied softly, "Okay."
Pei Xiuyan held her in his arms, lowered his eyes slightly, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, fortunately...
She didn't want to leave him.
Pei Xiuyan hugged her tightly, his eyes dark and deep.
…
In the sky prison, the lamps flickered with faint candlelight. Unlike ordinary cells, the environment here was surprisingly clean and tidy.
The young man leaned against the wall. Although his handsome face was covered with some dust, he still did not look disheveled.
