Chapter 128 The truth comes out (2)
"My patience is limited. I will give you enough time to think about it. When we meet again tomorrow, if you still refuse to tell the truth, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I will take action against your family. By then, it will be too late to help even if you regret it. Remember, there is no medicine for regret in this world." Lan Xi said coldly, then turned and left, without even stopping to wait for the maid's response.
As an experienced killer, Lan Xi knows very well where the weaknesses of human nature lie. The reason why she can become a cold-blooded and heartless killer is that she has no worries. She has no relatives, no friends, and no one or anything that can restrain her.
Even after traveling to ancient times, her cold nature has not changed. She never trusts others easily, and is never willing to easily entrust her true feelings to others. However, Ye Wuyou is an exception. Both of them are people with unfortunate fates and have their own difficulties. Therefore, Lan Xi can fully understand and empathize with each other's situation. She understands that her coming here is not only to save Ye Wuyou, but also to redeem herself and give herself a chance to start over.
Lan Xi took a deep breath before stepping out of the cell, trying to calm her inner turmoil. Now she was shouldering the heavy responsibility of continuing Wuyou's life, and she must not let her cold and ruthless side be exposed to Xiao Chuhan, otherwise it would definitely arouse Xiao Chuhan's suspicion.
When Xiao Chuhan saw Lan Xi walking out of the cell, Xiao Chuhan couldn't wait to rush to Lan Xi's side. Xiao Chuhan carefully looked at Lan Xi from head to toe.
"You'er, is she disrespectful to you?"
Lan Xi's eyes instantly became soft and fragile. She stared at Xiao Chuhan and replied softly, "She was not rude to me, but she still didn't want to reveal the whole story."
Xiao Chuhan said coldly: "It doesn't matter. I will send Xingye to interrogate her all night long. I will definitely force her to tell the truth."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to question her further tonight." Lan Xi advised with a smile.
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Chuhan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Lan Xi smiled at Xiao Chuhan and responded confidently: "Tomorrow, she will explain the whole process in detail."
While saying this, Lan Xi's eyes flashed with determination and confidence. This expression was something Xiao Chuhan had never seen before. At this moment, even he couldn't help but start to have some doubts about the person in front of him... Was it You'er?
Lan Xi knew very well that some of her previous actions might have caused Xiao Chuhan's suspicion, but she quickly changed the subject and deliberately covered her chest with her hands and coughed a few times.
Seeing this, Xiao Chuhan immediately showed his concern and asked anxiously: "You'er, are you feeling unwell?"
Lan Xi replied softly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. You'er is fine. Perhaps it's just because the dungeon is damp and she feels a little cold."
Xiao Chuhan felt distressed and quickly suggested: "I will escort you back to Jingxin Palace and call Dr. Li to examine you."
Lan Xi politely declined, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am really fine. There is no need to trouble the imperial physician. I just need to return to Jingxin Palace and rest for a while and I will recover."
Therefore, Xiao Chuhan accompanied Lan Xi back to the Jingxin Hall. After entering the hall, he carefully helped Lan Xi to lie down on the bed and carefully covered her with warm bedding.
"You'er, how do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Xiao Chuhan asked worriedly.
Lan Xi shook her head slightly to indicate that she was fine.
Xiao Chuhan looked at Lan Xi and gently said, "Don't worry about this matter, You'er. I will handle the rest. You'er, you are tired today, so take a rest early. Tomorrow, I will give you a satisfactory answer and clear your name."
After Xiao Chuhan finished speaking, he slowly stood up and prepared to leave, but Lan Xi suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Chuhan.
"You'er, what else?" Xiao Chuhan asked puzzledly.
Lan Xi looked at Xiao Chuhan firmly and said, "Your Majesty, can you allow me to handle this matter myself?"
Xiao Chuhan was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why You'er insisted on doing this matter and had to do it personally. Lan Xi knew what Xiao Chuhan was thinking at the moment, but no matter what Xiao Chuhan thought, she had to do this matter personally.
"Your Majesty, you must want to ask me why I am so persistent and must do this thing myself." Lan Xi showed the injuries on her body in front of Xiao Chuhan. Xiao Chuhan looked at the injuries on Wuyou's body and felt extremely guilty.
"All my injuries were caused by her. Now she is dead, but she owes me the truth to prove my innocence. Only if I do it myself can I really let go of my worries. If I don't do it myself, I think this matter will always be in my heart and I will never be able to erase it in this life."
Xiao Chuhan felt heartbroken when he heard Wuyou's words. If he had been willing to trust her, even just once, she wouldn't have suffered so much torture and so much pain.
