After all, he was not willing to see Shen Miao get injured. And if Prince Rui was Xie Jing Xing, then the entanglement involved would not be that simple.
…
The days passed by and in a blink of an eye, it was only a few days away from the end of the year. For an ordinary person, the days at the end of the year were the happiest. Because it was the end of the year, one had to treat themselves better. Eat well, drink well and play well. Every day was joyous. The joyous days were short, thus one would feel that they were living at a disadvantage.
But for Pei Lang, the days were like a death by a thousand cuts. Every day it would roll around his body, torturing and grinding off a small piece of flesh and then continue on the second day. Sometimes one could not wait to die a quick death tomorrow as it was better than such a long torment.
He did not know how long he had been locked up in the dungeon of Prince Ding's residence. Other than the guards who tortured him, even Fu Xiu Yi did not come. The daily torment made him suffer and his two legs were already dripping with blood and sweat. One heard that after today, his kneecaps would be gouged out.
After gouging out his kneecaps, he could only kneel and wait for others for the rest of his life. For a proud and arrogant person like Pei Lang, it was undoubtedly a lifetime nightmare. Fu Xiu Yi was indeed well aware of the weakness of human nature. A young person who was in the prime of his life with a bellyful of knowledge and a bright future would have to kneel and live from now on. Even if he were to see the light of day one day, his entire life would be completely ruined and one fear that it would be a life worse than death.
What was strange was that even at this time, Pei Lang did not intend to betray Shen Miao.
Even though his rationality kept persuading him to say it out. After saying it out, everything would be free. Even if it was death, it was better than to continue endlessly like this. He and Shen Miao were not considered as friends but it was Shen Miao who used Liu Ying to threaten him and he had no choice but to do things for Shen Miao. Even though Shen Miao this person was fierce every time, she would never lay her hands on innocent people. Even if he really betrayed her, Shen Miao would never vent her anger on the innocent Liu Ying.
After all, this kind of torture was just too painful.
Even though his rationality was thinking like this, but every time he was about to open his mouth, he would close it at the last moment. It was as if if he said it out, he would have committed a heinous crime. Pei Lang thought, could it be that he owed Shen Miao a huge debt in his previous life? He was actually willing to suffer for her sake.
It was just that … after so long, no one had come to save him. Pei Lang was somewhat disappointed in his heart.
Most likely Shen Miao had forgotten about him or perhaps in her game of chess, sacrificing an insignificant chess piece was not enough to be taken to heart.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. He didn't know what had happened, but it was noisy and noisy. It was accompanied by the sound of something breaking.
The heat wave was almost coming towards him.
Someone shouted, "There's a fire! There's a fire! "
A fire?
Pei Lang's heart was startled. This was Fu Xiu Yi's dungeon and on normal days, only Fu Xiu Yi's trusted aides and guards would come to the dungeon and no one else would come. Due to the strict surveillance, they couldn't afford to make any mistakes. But he didn't expect that there would be a fire here, and it would probably be extinguished very soon.
But Pei Lang guessed wrongly this time. Not only was the fire not extinguished, it became bigger and bigger. There was even some black smoke that floated in and the messy footsteps outside gradually became weaker, as if it was getting further and further away.
Pei Lang's cell was the furthest away and the innermost cell. Others would not be able to see it on normal days and it almost separated him here. When the fire came, Pei Lang's cell would suffer. If there was a fire in front, the further in one went, the bigger the fire, separating the outside and the inside into two parts. The deeper one went, the more dangerous it was. Generally speaking, no one would dare to go in.
Pei Lang would not do so as no one in this world would risk their lives to save a condemned prisoner like him.
Seeing the rolling heat wave, Pei Lang felt that the scene in front of him was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but there was a sense of relief in his heart.
Let it be like this … It was also good to end like this.
He had just closed his eyes when he heard an unfamiliar voice in front of him, "Hey, are you dead?"
Pei Lang opened his eyes in surprise and saw a black clothed person standing in front of him. This person's face was covered with a black veil and one could not see his face clearly, only revealing a pair of bright eyes. In such a fierce fire, there was no trace of panic at all. Seeing that Pei Lang did not answer, he seemed to be somewhat impatient and found a key from somewhere and directly opened the cell door.
This person was actually here to save him!
Pei Lang's heart actually gave birth to some disbelief, but with this attire and appearance, it was impossible for him to do anything else.
But Pei Lang's heart moved. Why was this person's eyes so familiar?
