Inside the prison.

Lie Chang'an is being tortured.

Lie Changan was hung on an iron frame, his hands and legs were all handcuffed by iron chains, the leather whip soaked in salt water fell on his body like raindrops, the bright red blood fell to the ground one by one, the new wound covered the old wound, the heart-rending pain weighed him out of breath, and finally fainted, a cold pricked his nerves, and when he woke up, it was another poisonous whip.

He gritted his teeth, his gums were blue, he refused to beg for mercy, he never squeaked, his mouth was full of blood, the pain made him unconscious, and it also made him more and more conscious.

He didn't know how long he had been whipped, but he felt his consciousness slowly peel away, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and he seemed to hear faint footsteps in the blur.

He thought it was the prince, and moved his lips to say something, but his voice was so weak that the man didn't hear it clearly, so he actually came over.

"Tell my hometown that I love her...... I really love her...... Say sorry to her too...... I...... I might ......"

He was intermittent and laborious to speak, as if he had only his last breath left, and every word was bitten extremely clearly, as if he was confessing his last words.

After Lie Changan finished speaking, he still insisted on hearing the prince's promise, but there was no movement for a long time, and he couldn't help but open his eyes with great difficulty, but looked at the pair of bright yellow brocade boots.

Not the Prince!

Lie Chang'an was stunned, raised his head suddenly, and saw that the emperor's face was not angry but mighty in front of him.

"You're a man."

It's not that the emperor didn't hear a daily report from someone in the prison, saying that General Chang'an would rather die than give in, no matter how tortured he was, he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, let alone begging for mercy and giving up the princess. 168

The emperor respects Lie Chang'an, and also appreciates the blood in his bones, he has always known that Lie Chang'an is a talent that can be relied on, but such a talent, the Li Dynasty is not lacking, even if it is lacking, he will not admit it, just for such a Lie Chang'an, put his daughter in.

Just as he heard Lie Chang'an just now that he was only thinking about his hometown at the last moment of life and death, he believed that those words were absolutely true, and he was also very touched.

But in the emperor's eyes, it is one thing to feel emotional, and it is another thing to let him break his principles and bottom line.

The emperor looked at him coldly at his scarred and dying appearance, and said sarcastically, "It's all come to this point, why, you don't plan to admit defeat?" ”

Lie Changan raised his head, and there was only indifference in his inky eyes.

It was rare for the emperor not to be annoyed by his attitude, so he only said slowly, "I vomited blood again in my hometown, and the imperial doctor has already said that he is sick and dead, and there is no cure." ”

When Lie Changan heard this, he felt a shudder.

What kind of monarch is in front of him, he is diligent and loves the people, a generation of Ming monarchs is right, but what kind of father is he?

Or is it the father who he once witnessed and saw his hometown dying due to poisoning, and was so distressed and worried that he couldn't sleep and eat, and his hair turned gray?

Is it still the father who has loved her since she was a child and cared for her in the palm of her hand?

Lie Changan couldn't believe that the person in front of him could be so indifferent and calm when he told the news that his own daughter was terminally ill and incurable, like a person who stayed out of the matter.

Lie Changan only felt that the monstrous anger and hatred in his heart were burning, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, how can you be so ruthless?" She is your hometown, the pearl of your favorite palm, are you really so forbearing, just ignore her, let her fend for herself, torture to death? ”
