The mistress is not a cannon fodder, the cold prince falls in love with her every night

Return to Shengjing.

Pei Yan was ordered to be executed by slow slicing.

Ministry of Justice Prison.

Pei Heng accompanied Li Ji to supervise the execution.

Listening to the screams of pain that were getting louder and louder coming from the prison, Li Ji closed his lips tightly with a dark face, and clenched his fists tightly without letting go.

"Why don't you go back first."

Pei Heng saw that he looked unhappy, turned his head and looked at him worriedly.

"Do not."

Li Ji shook his head firmly.

Pei Yan is a curse in his heart that he cannot get over, and he must watch him die with his own eyes.

Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't kill him personally, he felt relieved at the outcome.

Looking down at his still tender hands, Li Ji couldn't imagine if Huan Ge'er would have nightmares day and night in the future if he killed Pei Yan with his own hands.

In this life, Su Li protected Huan Ge'er very well.

Brother Huan lives a clean life.

Unlike him, his hands are stained with blood and his heart is dirty and smelly. There is no turning back.

Pei Yan was stabbed thousands of times and died in agony only after his blood had been drained.

The prison executioner came up and said:

"Your Highness, Duke Dingguo, the prisoner is dead."

Pei Heng nodded.

Li Ji took a last cold look at the bloody torture chamber, turned around and walked out silently.

Outside the prison, snow was falling.

There was a vast expanse of white between heaven and earth.

Li Ji reached out and took a snowflake, looking at the vast white earth, and thought to himself:

"Sister, Xie An, Pei Huan, rest in peace."

……

Liancheng came over hurriedly and gestured to Pei Heng:

"Master, it's getting late. Today is New Year's Eve, and Madam is waiting for you to have dinner with His Highness!"

Pei Heng nodded.

Pointing at Liancheng's feet, he said:

"How is it? Does the wound still hurt?"

Liancheng smiled and waved his hand:

"It doesn't hurt anymore. I've recovered after six months of rest. Master Fei's miraculous healing skills are like the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. I can now walk as fast as the wind, and my legs and feet are so flexible that I feel like I've returned to my teens."

"That's good."

Pei Heng patted Liancheng on the shoulder.

Liancheng has suffered so much for him, and now it is finally time to enjoy life.

It's just about him and Song Tao...

Oh, let it be.

When Pei Heng brought Li Ji home, Su Li had already prepared a large table of food.

Today is the New Year's Eve, and Su Li invited his parents, Song Ci, Su Zhe, Siyuan and Siqi from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion to have dinner together.

Mainly because Li Ji would be in the palace with the Empress Dowager and the Emperor during the New Year and would definitely not be able to come home, Su Li wanted to have the reunion dinner as soon as possible.

When they saw Li Ji appear, everyone in the family stood up.

"I have met His Highness King Qin!"

While shouting, Marquis Yong'an and Qin were about to kneel down to perform the etiquette between monarch and subject.

Li Ji hurried forward to support him, and said awkwardly:

"We are all family, there is no need to be like this."

Marquis Yong'an and Qin also looked embarrassed. They used to get along so well with Huan Ge'er, but they didn't know when it became like this?

Su Li also felt the same way and exchanged a quick glance with Pei Heng.

Su Zhe was still silly, he walked forward, hugged Li Ji and walked towards the dining table,

"Nephew, look at how pedantic they are. Even if you become His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, it doesn't change the fact that you were once my nephew! Dad, Mom, you are really too distant."

Seeing that he had been so heartless and had not noticed Li Ji's changes at all, Song Ci frowned and kicked him hard under the table.

"Why are you kicking me!"

Su Zhe looked at Song Ci with a bewildered expression.

Song Ci was speechless and said unhappily:

"You just helped Siyuan and Siqi clean up the mud. Now you can eat after washing your hands! Take your son and daughter to wash their hands!"

Su Zhe glanced at his own hands, then took his son and daughter's hands and kissed them, saying:

"I've washed it!"

"Wash them again! Look at the gaps between their nails, they're covered in black mud! Go!"

"Okay, okay, right away!"

Su Zhesui didn't understand what was going on, but his wife looked unhappy and instinctively felt a desire to survive. She ran away holding her son in one hand and daughter in the other.

"Let's go, wash your hands. Wash them and eat."

Su Li smiled and quickly resolved the awkward situation. She pushed Xi Jie'er and said:

"Quick, serve some food to your brother."

Another year passed, and Xijieer had grown into a graceful young lady, now almost 8 years old. The little buns she loved to wear when she was a child were now braided and styled in a nice style.

Especially the pair of lively eyes, which make people happy when looking at them.

She was the only one who was not afraid of Li Ji, so she pulled him to sit down and said:

"Brother, I have your favorite sweet and sour lotus root. I got up before dawn and watched them steam it. I know you don't eat meat, so look, all the dishes I prepared today are vegetarian."

Li Ji glanced at the table. There was not a single piece of meat on the table. He felt a warm feeling of being valued, and he forced a smile.

"Thank you, mother."

"Okay, sit down and eat."

Su Li smiled at him politely. After everyone sat down, she said:

"Today is Little New Year's Eve, so let's celebrate it like it's New Year's Eve. From today on, all the bad things that happened in the past will disappear into thin air and be forgotten. From now on, only good things will happen! All of us will be safe and sound!"

She knew that today was the day Pei Yan would be executed.

She said these words to Li Ji.

It was time to let go of the past grudges and hatred. Although Li Ji and she were no longer close, she still hoped that Li Ji could let go of the past and live happily for the rest of his life.

Pei Heng certainly understood Madam's thoughts. He squeezed Madam's hand and looked at Li Ji and said:

"Madam, you are absolutely right. Come, let's have a toast. After drinking this, good times will come! Happiness and good health will come!"

"..."

Li Ji's heart was in turmoil and he didn't know what to say.

He silently picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Pei Le jumped off the chair, climbed onto Li Ji's legs, pushed his small bowl, and shouted with his mouth wide open:

"Brother, Lele wants you to feed him!"

Siyuan and Siqi were unhappy now, waving their hands and howling:

"It's a big pot!"

"Oh, I want a big hug from the pot too!"

He shouted and waved his hands and rushed towards Li Ji.

"Big brother is mine! Not yours!"

Pei Leke was not happy about this. In an instant, Li Ji was surrounded by three children, who were pulling his neck, arms, and thighs, making a huge noise at the dinner table.

However, thanks to a few children, the awkward atmosphere was finally dispelled.

Xijie'er's bright black eyes rolled around secretly, and she secretly gave Pei Le a thumbs up.

Su Li saw the little action and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Since she was little, Xi Jie'er has been a master at creating a lively atmosphere, making even the most chill places lively wherever she goes. Now that she's using this skill on her own brother, she's truly accomplished.

The Duke Dingguo's Mansion was celebrating the New Year's Eve with great excitement.

At the farm outside the city, the Pei family also gathered together to celebrate the New Year.

The harvest this year was pretty good, and Pei Shizong had a rare smile on his face.

Even Xiao Wen was in a rare mood to dress herself up properly, and she tore off a few feet of cloth to make a new dress for the New Year.
