Chapter 105: Nine Sections of Scourging
Mu Jingyuan clenched Mu Xize's chin, and his face was distorted by extreme anger.
"Why are you taking Ye Ningxiang's heart again?"
Speaking of this, Mu Jingyuan couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart anymore, turned around and picked up the nine-section whip held by the executioner in his hand, and whipped Mu Xize on the chest.
The dense iron hooks on the whip were embedded in Mu Xize's flesh and blood without hesitation, and then followed Mu Jingyuan's strong force to tear apart the flesh and blood in front of Mu Xize.
Mu Xize clenched his fists, his face was pale and blue, and his forehead was soaked in thick sweat due to severe pain, but he never let out a single scream.
Not only did he scream, but he also breathed steadily at the moment when the nine-section whip left his body, and even said to Mu Jingyuan calmly: "What about you? Do you love her?"
In the face of such unbearable pain for ordinary people, Mu Xize not only did not wail, let alone beg for mercy, but calmly asked Mu Jingyuan such a question, Mu Jingyuan was even more angry, and swung the nine-section whip and hit Mu Xize again.
This time it hurt his cheek and arm. His cheeks were bleeding, and his pale face was covered with blood, and the blood was now flowing towards his neck. His left upper arm was torn by the iron hook, and a large piece of flesh was removed, and when he looked at it faintly, he seemed to be able to see the white bones under the blood-red muscles.
"If you don't answer me, your heart is empty, isn't it? Your feelings for Xiao Yezi are not love at all. Although Mu Xize tried his best to remain calm, his words had collapsed to the extreme, and his thin lips were now bloody.
"You have to grab what I have, power is like this, and women are like this, so you don't care about Naxia Qingqing as a concubine, and you always hold Xiaoyezi in the palm of your hand and pamper it. ”
Speaking of this, Mu Xize suddenly sneered, and this kind of laughter seemed to Mu Jingyuan as if he was a naked mockery of him, laughing at his childish heart and approach like a child.
"Shut up, shut up!" Mu Jingyuan shouted, completely ignoring the majesty of being the Ninety-Five Supreme, almost out of control with both hands clenching the nine-section whip, almost using all the strength of his body to hit Mu Xize's body.
In just half an hour, Mu Jingyuan was already so tired that he collapsed to the ground due to excessive exertion. The man he had whipped at lightning speed was now covered in blood, and no flesh could be found, and blood-stained bones were faintly visible under the wound.
Mu Xize never let out a single shout, even when his body had been beaten to pieces, and the bones hidden under the flesh became clearly visible, he always maintained a calm posture. Even though he was unconscious at this moment, and his whole body was paralyzed on the torture frame, his whole body still exuded the unique aura of being a king.
Mu Jingyuan, the person who resented Mu Xize to the extreme, knelt on the ground, and his originally angry eyes were tearful at the moment.
He was crying. He was crying for his third brother.
His third brother, who could easily snatch everything he wanted to have, also took him to play in the palace without reservation many years ago, very considerately left him the best food to eat, and taught him a lesson for his bullies with great righteousness.
His third brother, the third brother who was whipped by him and lost his human form, was also his favorite brother in the past, and he was also the person he wanted to protect for the rest of his life!
Why did things come to this? He was not a cruel and cruel king, but why was he uncontrollably cruel and cruel to him?
Mu Jingyuan couldn't control his emotions anymore, he couldn't care about the executioner around him, he cried in front of Mu Xize, and kept calling the word "third brother" in his mouth, as if he regretted his behavior and seemed to miss his memory.
Who is it, who is crying so heartbreakingly, Ye Ningxiang stood up, pressed against the door of the cell, and pricked up her ears to make this cry sound more real. It is a man's cry, what kind of grief-stricken thing can make a man cry like this more painful and heartbroken than a woman?
Ye Ningxiang was puzzled, curious, and even uneasy.
Everything was so abnormal this morning that someone should have come to execute her after eating the severed head meal, but now that almost two hours have passed, her cell is still empty, and there is no one in it. Obviously, there will be no other prisoners in such a deep cell, but what about that gripping cry?
It would be nice if someone could answer her questions at this time, even if the person who came was the executioner. Even if she is dead, she prefers to be a ghost.
Gradually, the crying died down, and although there was a small commotion in the distance from her, it didn't take long for the commotion to disappear as well, and everything returned to calm as if nothing had happened.
Quiet, quiet like never before. Such tranquility made Ye Ningxiang flustered, and a very bad premonition rose in her heart, but she didn't know what had happened to make her feel so uneasy.
"Concubine Xia has arrived!" shouted a eunuch in a high-pitched voice, a shout that broke the deathly silence.
Ye Ningxiang turned around and saw Xia Qingqing walking towards her.
Xia Qingqing wore an emerald green dress, even if she wore heavy makeup, she still couldn't hide her haggard face. With the help of the maidservant, she walked forward very slowly.
The jailers followed Xia Qingqing carefully, for fear that this Xia Niangniang would be unhappy and find their mistakes, and even more afraid that Xia Niangniang, who had just lost her child, would have some kind of disease due to the cold and damp nature of the prison. In short, the hearts of these little people are all raised high, and they are so nervous that they are to death.
"Open the cell door. Xia Qingqing said in a low voice.
"Niangniang, this day the prison is damp, and this prisoner is extremely vicious, the lower officials are afraid that Niangniang will be in danger!" said a man dressed as a cell boss.
"I said open the cell door, didn't you hear?" Xia Qingqing's voice was lower, and her eyes were already filled with heavy anger when she looked at the cell leader.
The cell boss stopped standing in his way and ordered his men to open the cell door quickly.
"Ye Ningxiang. Xia Qingqing smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and continued: "I originally thought that you were just a pawn placed by Xiao Qingyu in the palace, and you were secretly helping you, but I didn't expect you to be a fox who can play the emperor and King Ning at the same time!"
Ye Ningxiang was shocked by Xia Qingqing's words, she used to eavesdrop on the conversation between Mu Xize and Xia Qingqing, but she only knew that Xia Qingqing was a spy planted by someone, but she didn't know that this person was Xiao Qingyu. She swallowed and feigned composure and said, "I never deliberately seduced anyone, and what they want to do for me has nothing to do with me. ”
"What about him?"
"Who?"
"Naturally, the child in my womb was killed by you before he was born. Speaking of this, Xia Qingqing's eyes suddenly filled with tears, Ye Ningxiang could see that the tears she shed at this time were sincere, and she longed from the bottom of her heart to keep this child. And she brutally strangled this unformed little life under the control of Ji Beihuan, and Ye Ningxiang's heart also burned with strong guilt.
Ye Ningxiang knelt down and said earnestly: "The matter of the emperor's heir is that I am sorry for you, and if you want to kill you, you must listen to your respect." ”
Hearing this, Xia Qingqing suddenly laughed, but there was a chill in his laughter, "Okay, then you can drink this wine and use your life to bury my unborn emperor." ”
After speaking, the maidservant behind her presented Ye Ningxiang with a delicately made wine glass, and the glass was also filled with mellow wine.
Ye Ningxiang calmly took the wine glass, but when she thought that if she drank this glass of wine, this life would return to dust, and she was obviously not afraid of death at the moment.
The shadows of many people flashed in her mind, many of the people she knew in this life, living or dead, and the smiling faces were clearly and completely presented in front of her. Drinking this glass of wine, these people would disappear forever from her memory, as if they had never stopped in her world, leaving no trace.
Forget it, this world doesn't belong to her in the first place, it's God's preference that allowed her to live for another seven years, and now it's just a matter of returning what she has gained over the years.
The corners of Ye Ningxiang's mouth rose to reveal a shallow smile, and then she drank the full glass of mellow wine, revealing a relieved look in her eyes.
"Go and untie the chains on her body!" Xia Qingqing said coldly to the jailer.
The jailer thought that this Xia Concubine gave Ye Ningxiang a poisonous wine, and even if she untied the ropes on her body at this moment, there would be no trouble, so he obediently untied the chains on Ye Ningxiang's body.
"Ye Ningxiang, I didn't expect you to be a woman with backbone, but the glass of wine you drank was not poisonous wine at all, just the most ordinary osmanthus brew. Xia Qingqing stood in front of Ye Ningxiang, condescendingly looking at Ye Ningxiang who was kneeling on the ground, and her words revealed infinite insidiousness and cunning.
"Why, didn't anyone come to inform you, His Royal Highness King Ning personally took all the blame in order to save you, and now he has been whipped and is dying!" Xia Qingqing laughed, such a sharp laugh fiercely pierced Ye Ningxiang's ears and cruelly pierced Ye Ningxiang's heart.
Flogging, the punishment Mei Zhaoyi once suffered. Ye Ningxiang, as the prisoner appointed by the emperor, saw with her own eyes the scene of Mei Zhaoyi's flesh and bones being separated and her flesh blurred after the nine whips were beaten on Mei Zhaoyi's body, and the bloodiness and cruelty finally made Ye Ningxiang have nightmares for ten days in a row.
Recalling Mei Zhaoyi's tragic situation, Ye Ningxiang raised her head as if she was stupid, and looked at Xia Qingqing with her eyes a little confused, "What did you say?"
"I said that His Royal Highness King Ning can't survive, if you want to save him, hurry up to Lingyun Peak to seek Snow Lingzhi, if you find it in time, His Royal Highness King Ning may still be saved, otherwise, you will wait to collect his body!"
Mu Xize, the biggest enemy in her life, is now willing to endure the pain of torn and broken flesh on her body in order to save her, willing to be covered in blood and exposed bones, and to exchange for Ye Ningxiang's life. Why was he the one who saved her? The man she loved and hated the most.
Ignoring everyone's obstacles, she went crazy to remove all the obstacles that prevented her from leaving Dali Temple, and rushed to Lingyun Peak with all her might.
She hated him, she hated him, but how much she hated him, how much she loved him, she liked him to be coquettish like a child by her side, she liked the warm and solid feeling when he took her into his arms, she liked the doting and love shown by his big peach blossom eyes when he called her Xiao Yezi.
"Is it okay to be my eyes, and don't leave me, okay?"
"Xiao Yezi, this time I finally have time to save you, don't be afraid, I won't let you have anything. ”
"If you live, I will live, and if you die, I will die. I will live and die with you. ”
Mu Xize's words echoed in Ye Ningxiang's ears, and those words that were originally ordinary and even had been forgotten by her in the corner hit her heart without reservation at this moment, making her lose her mind and burst into tears.
