Chapter 342: Heart-digging pain
The smile on his face was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, and after the waves, his face was expressionless. Mu Xuefu's face suddenly cooled, "He's all dying people, what are you looking for me for?" β
Chasing the star said: "I said that I knew that the princess was going back to Beijing in the near future, so I wanted to see the princess for the last time." β
"But I don't want to see him!" Mu Xuefu turned her eyes and looked at the spiritual position, her eyes showed a fierce light, and she said angrily. She will never forgive Mu Zhaolin for what she did, let alone see him, she was afraid that she would not be able to control it and kill him.
Star Chaser hesitated slightly, "That'Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Subordinates go back to their lives. β
"Wait." Jing Rong stopped him, thought for a while, and said to Mu Xuefu: "You better go and take a look at him, since he is a person from the palace, he naturally begged the emperor." β
"See what he does? Do you want to talk to him about the father-daughter relationship? Mu Xuefu thought about his father who had called him for so many years, and he hated it so much that he wanted to tear his mouth apart.
Jing Rong caressed her shoulders, and her slender fingers stuck to her thin clothes, straight into the texture, which was a kind of comfort from the warmth of the heart, "He doesn't have a few days to live, go see him, and it's completely over." β
It was a complicated struggle, as if the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter were so long, Mu Xuefu finally listened to Jing Rong's words and went to the prison of the Criminal Department to see Mu Zhaolin for the last time.
The prison was dark and damp, and from time to time there was the sound of whips thrown on the flesh and the deafening shouts of prisoners, as if from hell, and everyone who heard it would be frightened by the terrible sound.
This is not the first time Mu Xuefu has come to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but the last time was late at night, and the prison officials were already tired after interrogating the prisoners during the day, so where would they continue to interrogate in the middle of the night.
Mu Zhaolin was imprisoned in the Tianzi Torture Room, which is a cell for felonies, and the gate is made of copper and wood, which has fallen into disrepair because no one has lived in it for a long time, and the copper and wood have been unpainted.
The last time someone stayed in this torture room was far away, so far away that the cell boss who had been in the prison all his life couldn't remember.
Mu Zhaolin can be said to be the first person in the Tianzi house in the past 100 years.
faded from a prominent identity, a dignified and left-handed appearance, from glory and wealth to falling from the clouds to a prisoner, for Mu Zhaolin, who has always taken power very seriously, it is tantamount to the most desperate thing in the world, and it is also the hell he fears the most.
His cell was dim and dim, with only a small window on the high ceiling in which a bleak light entered. In the afterglow, countless floating dust could be seen floating in the air. He was prostrate on the ground, his feet chained, his unkempt and dirty hair could no longer distinguish his face, and the moment he saw Muscheph, his cloudy eyes suddenly brightened as if they were on fire.
Musheph stood in front of his cell, looking at him with an extremely indifferent look. That kind of indifference, as if I never knew, as if I never cared, was like looking at a stranger.
Mu Zhaolin slowly raised his hand, hung down in mid-air, and just called softly: "Jiao Niangββ"
It may be that Mu Xuefu has the shadow of her mother, she always looks a little like her, in this case, Mu Zhaolin may recognize the wrong person. It is also possible that people are about to die, and they always bring the people in their hearts to the fore.
This call made Mu Xuefu's heart surge, saying that the person in front of her was not worthy of her hatred? It's not worth it, but how can you not hate, the hatred churning in her chest almost burned her to ashes.
Jing Rong accompanied Mu Xuefu, he took her hand, and felt that her palm was instantly cold and held it tightly. It's a silent support, simple but warm.
The temperature from her fingertips eased the coolness in her heart, and the temperature of her hands gradually warmed up.
"What did you call me for?" Her voice was calm and steady, and her tone was as clear as melted crushed ice in an ice pool.
Mu Zhaolin's eyes were slightly downcast, and he slowly closed his eyes, and the scene when he and Jiao Niang first met appeared in front of him. Looking back now, he realized that it was the best memory of his life.
His voice was old and hoarse, and a smile spread from the corner of his lips, "Do you hate me very much?" β
The cold dungeon seemed to have a ghost passing by, and Mu Xuefu shuddered, and she hugged her arms to resist the cold attack. It was a chill from the depths of her heart, spreading from her heart to her limbs.
"I can't hate you, I hate you so much, I want to eat your flesh and drink your blood." Her face was contorted with grief, and there were faint tears streaming down her face.
Mu Zhaolin smiled sadly and said, "Isn't it revenge for you to turn me into a waste who is worse than death?" Your Zhenguo General's Mansion has been rehabilitated, and I, who became a prisoner of the ranks, will soon be executed by Ling Chi, isn't it enough to avenge your Zhenguo General's Mansion? β
"It's not enough, it's not enough, use your life alone to pay back the sixty-eight lives of my Zhenguo General's Mansion, do you think you are enough to pay it back?" Mu Xuefu was emotional, blushing and shouting, "If it weren't for the emperor's betrayal of you Ling Chi to death, do you think I would let you die so easily?" I will torture you so much that you can't survive and die! β
After hearing Mu Zhaolin's laughter, his whole body couldn't move, and he was beaten and his internal injuries were not treated, a smile affected his whole body, and the violent pain swept all over the world, his hideous face screamed several times, and said after the pain slowly subsided: "I just want your father to die alone, and it is not me who ordered you to be killed, it is the first emperor." β
"Yes, he was the one who gave the order, but you are the one behind the whole thing!" Mu Xuefu's smile was bleak and pale, like a wisp of light smoke, which would disperse as soon as the wind blew, she raised her head and looked up at the only window in the cell, "Don't think I don't know, Jing Lingcang was also hesitant back then, it was you who kept lobbying him and constantly tricking him, so he would be ruthless." He is the executioner, and you are the initiator. β
Her gaze as sharp as an ice pick was fixed in his face, "I have been deceived by you all these years, and I don't even know that you are the culprit in front of me." Mu Zhaolin, every time you face me, don't you think of my father and mother, don't you feel guilty? β
She laughed, "yes, why am I so confused, how can someone like you feel guilty?" β
The cold gate wood exuded a decaying and lonely desolation, and through the copper wood, Mu Zhaolin looked at Mu Xuefu. His chin rested on the ground, his hands propped up, but he couldn't hold it up, and he gave up after some struggle.
He shook his head slightly, a bitter smile floating on his lips, "It's still Fu'er who understands me." How could I feel guilty? The tone was abruptly firm, his eyes did not dodge, and he looked at Mu Xuefu calmly, "I have never felt guilty, I have never regretted it, and I am the same when I end up today." β
He looked at Mu Xuefu, he didn't resent, he was still spoiled like that, "But Fu'er, no matter how bad and ruthless your father is, your father really loves you." In my father's eyes, you are my own daughter, the daughter of me and my mother. You ask yourself, isn't your father treating you badly? Father has given you all the love of his children! β
Mu Xuefu yelled, "Shut up, I'm not your daughter, you're not my father, my father is only one, and he is Mu Qiying." And you are just my enemy who killed my father and mother, and you are the enemy. β
"But you called me dad some time ago, don't you remember?" Mu Zhaolin used his hands and feet at the same time, crawled towards Mu Xuefu, climbed a few steps, and the chain behind him had already come to an end, "I know that you didn't call me father out of sincerity before, it was just a cold title." But that day was different, I knew that you were sincere, you recognized me as a father in your heart, Fu'er, you recognized me as a father. β
"Shut up!" Mu Xuefu's slender white fingers grabbed the wood, and her nails slashed at it, "The most regrettable thing I have done in my life is to call you that father, because every time I think about it, I hate myself, and I hate myself for recognizing a thief as my father!" β
Mu Xuefu's throat and eyes were sensitive to pain, and her tongue was pressed against her teeth, which gradually eased. She lost her voice and said: "Mu Zhaolin, it was you who pushed me to the boundless abyss of hell, it was you who made me walk in the dark for more than ten years, do you know what it is like to fall into hell?" Do you know what it feels like to never have a daylight? β
Qinghui's afterglow was like a golden light veil caressing her emaciated face, and the tears on her cheeks shone through Jin Hui, like crystal clear pearls, shining with a slight glow, "I'm only five years old, five years old, do you know what a five-year-old child looks like in his dreams every night?" You don't know, then I'll tell you. β
Her throat was sour and astringent, as if she had eaten a yellow lotus, her voice was like a dream, and she said slowly: "She dreams of a happy life with her parents every night, so beautiful, so happy." But just as the child was immersed in happiness, the scene in the dream would suddenly change, and it would be bloody, full of bright red blood, and arrow feathers would go towards her relatives, and they would be inserted into the body of the nurse, into the body of her brother, and into the body of her father. There was also a fire in the sky, and that fire was like the devil's bloody mouth, devouring all her relatives and her pure and clean heart. In this way, she had the same dream every night, and she did it for ten years. β
She raised her face and tried to stop her tears, but the tears were like bandages, sliding down her eyes, "In ten years, she has changed from an innocent and pure child to a female demon full of hatred and ruthlessness, murder without blinking, she put all her hatred on killing, and she destroyed one child after another like her with her own hands." β
His gaze changed suddenly, like a snow-bright steel knife cutting through the sky, bursting out with boundless hatred. She pointed at Mu Zhaolin, "It's all because of you, it's you who ruined her, it's you who turned her into that." If it weren't for you, she would always be the innocent and pure little girl in the Zhenguo General's Mansion! β
Jing Rong looked at her, with a burst of pantothenic acid in his heart, and a layer of mist in his eyes. He took Mu Xuefu into his arms and gave her the best support.
He always thought that she had let go in the past few years, but he didn't know that the flame of hatred had not been extinguished, but she was hidden in the depths of her heart. She doesn't touch it, she doesn't reveal it, thinking that with time, it will slowly fade away. But in fact, she never forget.
People are like this, they always choose to escape, choose to bury things they don't want to mention in their hearts, but in fact, the deeper they hide, the more they reveal it, it is a kind of heart-digging pain.
