"marry" to your nemesis

Tang Xiao didn't bother to talk to the crazy old man, he just stood up and walked out of the cell slowly.

It stands to reason that Tang Xiao was arrested just now, and it should take a while before he is interrogated.Moreover, the person to be interrogated should also be an official from the Ministry of Punishment, so it's probably not the eldest princess' turn.

Tang Xiao slandered for a while, and at this moment, an unpleasant hoarse voice came out from behind her——

"Little girl, don't hold on!"

???

What the hell is this crazy old man talking about?

Tang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then slowed down a bit, and the jailer pushed Tang Xiao mercilessly.

Tang Xiao staggered for a moment, and couldn't help but turned his head and gave the jailer a sideways glance.

But after thinking about it, Tang Xiao pursed his lips and didn't say anything, just continued to walk forward.

After passing through the dark corridor, Tang Xiao saw a bright light in front of him.

She couldn't help but stretch out her hand to block the light, and when her eyes got used to the bright light, she saw a bright red sitting in front of her, looking at herself lazily and carelessly.

"Princess." Tang Xiao recognized her.

Li Ruo waved her hands with a smile, "Good boy, you still remember me..."

After finishing speaking, Li Ruo winked at the others, and two of them brought a chair to Tang Xiao's back.

Tang Xiao sat down in a daze, and before she could react, the two guards next to her pulled and tied her hands to the handles on both sides of the chair.

"What... what is this for?" Tang Xiao looked at Li Ruo in a daze.

Li Ruo curled the corners of her lips and smiled like a lazy cat, "Miss Tang, don't be nervous, just ask questions according to the rules. The emperor asked me to supervise the assassination of Prince Pinghe, so...heh, tell me, Miss Tang." .”

"What are you talking about?" After seeing Feng Ling's immortal rope, Tang Xiao deeply understood the profound truth of giving up despite struggling.She sat there, looking at Li Ruo blankly.

Li Ruo said slowly, "Tell me why and how you killed Prince Pinghe."

Upon hearing these groundless words, Tang Xiao was immediately a little annoyed.But after all, she was the eldest princess in front of her, not the insignificant Li Aonan, so she took a deep breath and explained, "Last night I slept in Manxiang Pavilion, so I had no chance to kill Prince Pinghe."

But when Li Ruo heard this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "But the old bustard said, you have been alone in the house all night, and this house faces the street, and the street is outside the window. If you really It’s okay to sneak back after doing something wrong in the middle of the night.”

……

Seeing what Li Ruo said was logical, Tang Xiao suddenly felt that he might have overestimated Li Aonan before, but actually Li Ruo was the one who could tell stories best in Yuyang City.

"Eldest Princess, there is no basis for this matter, you can make it up however you want..."

Hearing this, Li Ruo's eyes flashed brightly, but then she covered it up with a bright smile, "Little girl, her mouth is quite hard."

Saying that, Li Ruo raised her chin and said to the outside, "Bring me the man."

As soon as the words fell, Tang Xiao saw a black robe passing by along with a burst of footsteps, and then a skinny man was pushed in front of Li Ruo.

After the man glanced at Li Ruo, he shivered and hid in a corner.

But compared to the man, Tang Xiao was more interested in the person who brought the man in, and it turned out to be Feng Ling!

The person she had filled her heart with for these three years, the person she wanted to save even if she was in danger, was the one...

No matter how nice she is to her, she won't get anyone who will return anything in return.

Now, she brought someone to identify herself...

Ah!

It's ridiculous to think about it.

If she hadn't thought about keeping Feng Ling from being implicated, she wouldn't have disturbed that marriage.And if he hadn't disturbed that marriage, Jiang Youyu might not have died, and the following things would not have happened...

But now?

Thinking about it, Tang Xiao couldn't help a sneer from his lips.

And at this moment, she heard Li Ruo suddenly ask, "When you were at watch last night, what did you see outside Manxiang Pavilion?"

Tang Xiao came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on the man in the corner.

Hearing Li Ruo's words, the man flinched before recalling, "I saw... I saw the girl from the Tang family hurriedly closing the window."

Hearing this, Li Ruo raised his eyebrows at Tang Xiao, then looked at the man again and said, "Are you so sure that it's a girl from the Tang family?"

"She is a famous person in Yuyang City, how could I admit it wrong?" The man showed a mocking smile, but when he turned his head and saw Tang Xiao was next to him, his expression changed drastically and he quickly hid away Far.

Li Ruo couldn't take a look at his spineless appearance, so he didn't want to take another look at him. He only thought about Tang Xiao with a smile on his face, "What, Miss Tang, do you have anything else to say?"

Tang Xiao was puzzled, "He just saw me, what can he prove?"

"It proves that you didn't stay in Manxiang Pavilion all the time last night, but went out..."

"In this case, the eldest princess is probably too arbitrary. Can't I just get up and close the window?"

Seeing that Tang Xiao refused to admit it, Li Ruo gradually became impatient, but she still smiled, "Could it be that Miss Tang has the habit of sleeping with the windows open in winter?"

This remark made Tang Xiao ask the wrong question.

She didn't know how the window could be opened.

Seeing that Tang Xiao didn't answer for a long time, Li Ruo kindly persuaded him, "I think Miss Tang should answer truthfully, otherwise... this really makes me a little embarrassed."

Saying that, Li Ruo walked to a corner and picked up something.

Tang Xiao looked over and suddenly felt a chill down his back.

She had heard before that there was a method of torture in the prison, which was to pierce the fingernails of disobedient prisoners with silver needles, and in the end, nine out of ten would plead guilty because of the pain, and one... ...and was tortured to death.

Thinking of the past rumors, Tang Xiao's eyes suddenly panicked.

She looked at Feng Ling helplessly, but Feng Ling only lowered her eyebrows, as if she didn't know anything.

Then the next moment, Li Ruo walked up to Tang Xiao, and asked softly, "Miss Tang, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?"

"I... I don't know!" Even though she was afraid, she was still determined.

Now that she has nothing left, is she going to abandon her own innocence?

Do not!

She did nothing!

So even if she died, she wouldn't admit it!

But at this time, Tang Xiao's shoulders sank, and someone actually pressed her shoulders, and then she saw the thin needle pointing towards her fingertips.

That kind of pain is not instantaneous, but slowly penetrates into the heart, tortures slowly, and makes people feel that maybe death is a relatively easy thing.

"Say?"

"No...don't know!"

"Say?"

"No...don't know!"

One needle after another, every time Tang Xiao felt that she might be numb, the new pain would keep reminding her that she was still alive.

Correct!

She is still alive!

She widened her eyes, looking at that person in the distance, how he treated each other indifferently, how he refused to save him, how he stepped on the ground and crushed all her only traces of emotion!

Feng Ling!

I hate you!

All my life, living and dead, I hate you!

Even in my next life, I will hate you too!

The moment Tang Xiao closed her eyes covered in cold sweat, there was only one thought in her heart——

She wanted to return the pain she had endured to Feng Ling a thousand times a hundred times!

She wanted to see if such a ruthless person knew the feeling of pain!

When Tang Xiao woke up again, she smelled a musty smell, and then felt her hand being lifted up and put down again.

She straightened her body, and then saw the old man who was talking before, now playing with her hands.

The old man noticed that Tang Xiao had woken up, so he turned around, couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "I advised you not to hold on, why bother?"

Only now did Tang Xiao understand what the old man said before. She opened her mouth, her throat was hoarse and uncomfortable, and her voice was even more out of tune, "I never did it."

Hearing this, the old man laughed, "Do you think it's really that important to them whether they did it or not? Then a few days ago, there was a person who didn't admit that he killed someone. Didn't he end up being tortured?"

Seeing Tang Xiao's unyielding look, the old man couldn't help persuading, "Forget it, you will have to admit it sooner or later, why bother to suffer? By the way, what crime did they say you committed?"

"kill."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then sighed again, "I'm going to die anyway, so don't suffer less, isn't it good?"

But Tang Xiao said very firmly, "I haven't done it."

"You have a stubborn temper... hey..." The old man sighed for a long time, not knowing whether it was true or false.

Tang Xiao lay there, looking at the mottled wall, thinking that she might die, but she was not afraid at all.

only……

Just thinking about his father, mother and brother, Tang Xiao's eyes turned red.

Two lines of hot tears rolled down, Tang Xiao wanted to reach out to wipe it, but when he raised his hand, it was painful.

When the old man heard the movement, his eyes flashed and he couldn't bear it, "Since you are afraid, why bother..."

"I'm not afraid of death." Tang Xiao choked up, "It's just... just thinking that I was so stupid before, that my family members were implicated, and I have no chance to make up for them. I am really useless."

Seeing Tang Xiao crying so sadly, the old man was rarely silent.

After a while, the old man said, "Then tell me, how do you want to make up for your family?"

"Of course I stayed with them and left without saying anything!" Thinking that he actually left obediently before, Tang Xiao felt that he was simply a big fool.

only……

"It's just that my father was poisoned, and he will die soon. I... I'm afraid that even if I want to accompany him, I won't be able to spend much time with him." Tang Xiao's voice gradually weakened.
