Chapter 166: Self-blame
Okay, you Mu Zhufeng, a mere military general dares to covet the position of the prince, and he also curses the prince with witchcraft! ”
The prince was furious, especially when he thought that he had been in trouble in all respects since a long time ago. Thinking of the picture of himself suffering a loss, the picture of being reprimanded by his father, all kinds of things are combined, it is because of the villain in front of him, he really wants to dismantle Mu Zhufeng now.
The prince gasped for breath because he was too angry, and the subordinates in Mu Zhufeng's mansion were all trembling with fright, and no one was willing to say a word for Mu Zhufeng.
The prince threw the wooden figure to his attendants and said: "Take it for me and burn it, and then listen to my instructions, Mu Zhufeng has misbehaved, practiced witchcraft, and committed the crime of murdering the prince, and will be arrested immediately, put in prison, and wait for his fate!" ”
Suddenly, a team of guards rushed on both sides of the house, and they seemed to be on standby all the time, and it seemed that this prince was also very vigilant. Several guards rushed up, and both of them controlled Mu Zhufeng's hands and forcibly pressed them behind their backs.
Mu Zhufeng knelt on the ground and couldn't move, but he didn't intend to resist in the first place. He raised his head to look up at the prince, who looked at him condescendingly, with no emotion in his eyes.
Mu Zhufeng opened his mouth and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen knows that he has committed a serious crime, but Weichen has something to ask for. Weichen does things alone, and asks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to embarrass Weichen's wife. ”
The prince pinched Mu Zhufeng's chin and said face-to-face with him: "Your wife is an understanding person, and I also speak well, she has said so many things, I naturally won't embarrass her." ”
Hearing this, Chi Wan was shocked. I didn't expect him to be so non-resistant and non-quibble now, but he didn't want to implicate himself. Even if his life and death are uncertain now, he is still worried about his life.
The prince flicked his sleeves and let go of Mu Zhufeng, Mu Zhufeng only felt that his cheeks were painful, and they were slightly red.
"But you, if you were as self-aware as your wife, you wouldn't end up where you are now!"
Before leaving, the prince glanced at Chi Wan, who was squatting on the ground, thinking that she couldn't set off any strong winds and waves as a woman's family, so he waved his hand and said, "Take Mu Zhufeng away!" ”
"Get up!" The guards forcibly pulled Mu Zhufeng up, it seemed that because he had been kneeling for too long, Mu Zhufeng suddenly stood up and his body was not stable, and the whole person staggered and looked like he was about to fall.
He looked at Ji Wan meaningfully, even if he received such an infinity, his eyes were still full of affection, and he was reluctant to leave. Like the autumn waves in the sunset, it is shocking but shocking.
Chi Wan was completely stunned by this look, but it was only a matter of an instant, he was forcibly taken away by the guards, leaving only a strong back.
Because the subordinates were also questioned by the prince, the entire mansion was empty for a while, leaving only Chi Wan alone and the mess in front of him.
Chi Wan sat slumped on the ground, her dress spread out on the ground like a withered flower, her hair was messily scattered on both sides, and the hem of her skirt was even more stained with dirt, covering the pattern of two butterflies playing with flowers on it.
She was slow to break free from that look, which was clear, a manifestation of his full friendship for herself. reluctant to part, affectionate love, his sincerity is visible, but he is so ravaged by himself!
Ji Wan hugged her head and buried her face in her knees, she blamed herself deeply, reflecting on whether she had played too much this time, and she was full of remorse for Mu Zhufeng for the first time.
The method that she came up with on the spot, and the method that she thought could cause the prince and Mu Zhufeng to disintegrate internally, seemed to have gone too far, because she didn't think about the consequences at all, and I was Mu Zhufeng's life.
Ji Wan knew his intentions, although she didn't have that kind of thoughts about him, but she didn't hate him to the point of wanting to kill the other party. For Chi Wan, Mu Zhufeng is just an ordinary friend of hers, maybe if she is not even a friend, she still owes the other party a lot of favors.
But now it seems that the crown prince has put him in prison, what is the next step, beheading or exile, in the style of that irascible prince, it seems that he is not impossible to do these things.
However, I don't want that result, I don't want him to die...... The emotion of self-blame has been tormenting Ji Wan, making her sit on the ground for a long time without coming back to her senses.
She sat like this, from the setting sun until the moon rose, and the evening breeze blew the hair of her ears and temples, and made her cheeks dry and red, and then she felt a chill, and got up and walked back into the house.
There was no dinner today, because the maids who served her had been arrested, and even if they hadn't been arrested, no one would be willing to cook for the person who framed their master.
Chi Wan directly took off her coat and covered herself in the quilt, she was always like this, every time she was scared or at a loss, she liked to lock herself up and not see anyone.
She only felt that her heart was beating so fast, that it was nervous, it was fear, it was punishment for her impulsiveness today and not thinking about the consequences. She thought about what Mu Zhu Feng was going to do in prison at this moment, locked in heavy shackles, unable to move and wait for death to come?
No, it's not, I just want to punish him, not to die. She tortured herself over and over again, and finally fell asleep because she was too tired to hold on.
At this moment, the dungeon in the palace, the dark and damp air is disgusting, can you still hear the sound of rats slipping away. The wind whistled through the hall, like the disgruntled cry of every soul without rest, which made people shudder.
It was already the third watch, and the jailers were making one last round of rounds, and after making sure that there were no fewer people, they could go and have a glass of wine and be liberated.
His eyes stayed in front of him, this new prisoner today, who didn't know this face? An angular face, bronzed skin, a pair of sword eyebrows are thick and shapely, and the thin lips are bloodless. He was the battlefield overlord Mu Zhufeng who once terrified the enemy, but he didn't expect to end up like this now.
The jailer also felt embarrassed, but he didn't have much interest, it was really normal for the ups and downs of these people in the palace to have ups and downs, and they were rich and wealthy in the world one second, and it was not for nothing that they were sent to the execution table in the next second.
Especially his prison history, although he has only been on duty for two years, he has taken life and death down a lot. Sometimes he also feels that although he is unknown, this position is very inconspicuous but also safe, and he can live his life to the end.
The jailer sighed and walked away on his own, Mu Zhufeng didn't have any thoughts, he looked up at the black prison roof, thinking about Chi Wan's expression, he couldn't help laughing.
That's right, this is also Mu Zhufeng's selfishness, why doesn't a person save his life for no reason, but for the sake of love, he is willing. However, this is not a one-sided effort.
Before leaving, his eyes and his expression must have left a deep impression on Chi Wan. And he just wants to make Chi Wan can't forget him, can't forget all his kindness to her, his affection and friendship, and will be imprinted on her heart like a soldering iron.
"Anyone, hey, anyone?" Mu Zhufeng shouted loudly.
"What's wrong, what's wrong!" Prison Shi came from a distance with some impatience, after all, he was about to get off work, and he would feel a little uncomfortable when he was suddenly called over.
"Do you have paper and pen here, I want to write something for my wife."
"This ......" The jailer saw that Mu Zhufeng was pitiful, and that he was a general in the past, so he tried to find him some materials. Dry, yellowish coarse paper, the brush with the nib of the pen has been scattered.
Mu Zhufeng was stained with some stinky ink, and wrote two big words on the cover - Hugh Shu.
Mu Zhufeng smiled bitterly, her love was not reciprocated, and her efforts were not reciprocated, so let it be presented in this way, so that she could remember that there was once someone who loved her like this.
The autumn breeze is whining, the autumn night is cool, the moon shadow is clear, and in the courtyard, the girl sits alone. Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio.
"Wan'er, hurry back to the house, don't get cold." Ji Wan didn't look back, she only felt a coat fall on her body, but when she heard this voice, she knew that it was Mu Zhufeng coming.
However, Chi Wan didn't want to accept any good from Mu Zhufeng, after all, she already had someone she loved in her heart, so she didn't want to think about others.
She turned to take off her coat and give it back to him, but when she turned around, she couldn't see him. At first glance, Chi Wan found herself in the middle of a crowd, and there was a guillotine in the distance, and the person on that guillotine was Mu Zhufeng!
It was that look again, affectionate and reluctant, obviously the two were so far apart, but Chi Wan saw his expression clearly.
Seeing that the machete was about to fall, Chi Wan shouted in pain: "No! ”
When she woke up from her dream, Ji Wan sat up and gasped for breath all of a sudden, she had a nightmare about him. Perhaps because she was too frightened and hadn't eased up, Chi Wan weakly curled up her body into a small ball, and curled up like this for a long time.
When she woke up again, it was already noon, but she was in a bad state, and her whole body was disturbed and physically and mentally tortured. Even though her stomach was growling with hunger, she didn't have any food, and it was because she wanted to go to the toilet that forced her to get up.
But when she got up, she was puzzled when she saw a letter on the table. If she remembered correctly, there was nothing here yesterday, but now a letter appeared inexplicably.
She turned the letter over and looked at it, and there were two big words written on her face - the book of resignation.
