After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

Chapter 226 "Because she doesn't want you to die... maybe."

Jiang Ci'an was too lazy to talk to him and ordered Zhu Jiuxing.

"Alright, take him away and force him to tell you the whereabouts of the antidote."

"Yes."

Zhu Jiuxing couldn't laugh anymore when he thought of Shen Changle who was tortured unconscious by Mu Li's poison.

He walked up to Mu Li, grabbed his collar, and was about to drag him out.

But it’s unexpected...

He suddenly struggled violently and slammed into the fake thunder bomb.

He still shouted unconvinced:

"Who said my treasure is useless! Prepare to die, Jiang Ci'an!"

With Mu Li's collision, the copycat thunder bomb mechanism was triggered, and two cold arrows shot out from under the muzzle, heading straight towards Jiang Ci'an.

"Second brother! Be careful!!"

Zhu Jiuxing stepped forward and held Mu Li down, shouting in horror.

Jiang Ci'an turned around suddenly.

The distance was too close, he couldn't dodge and had to step back.

Seeing that the arrow was about to hurt him, Jiang Wen rushed forward in an instant, hugged him and spun around to avoid the arrow.

The other arrow pierced his body with a "puff" sound.

"Jiang Wen!"

"Commander Jiang—"

Everyone was panicked.

Jiang Ci'an's mind went blank for a moment.

Jiang Wen pinned him down tightly, and he couldn't move.

I pushed his hand, but it was covered in blood...

"Commander Jiang...Commander Jiang!"

My heart stopped for a moment.

Panic filled his every limb.

There is only one voice left in my head, repeating endlessly...

An ominous thing!

Fate!

Anyone who gets close to him will become unfortunate!

First it was Changle, then it was General Jiang...

Whoever treats him well will suffer...

But if that was the case, why wasn't he the one who died?

If they die, won’t it bring them no bad luck?

Why……

Why save him...

"Ci'an...are you okay?"

Hearing the faint voice beside his ear, Jiang Ci'an's thoughts were pulled out of the dark pit.

He blurted out without thinking:

"Dad, hold on, I'll go call the doctor for you!"

Jiang Wen was stunned and pushed him back to where he was.

"What...did you call me?"

Jiang Ci'an then realized...

He struggled to break free, feeling embarrassed and helpless.

"It's already this time, and you still care about this?"

Jiang Wen refused to give up and pulled his arm hard.

"You, you yell again! What did you call me?"

"...Dad! I'm calling you Dad, do you hear me? Come on, I'll help you up!"

Finally heard Jiang Ci'an call him dad!

Jiang Wen felt like he was injected with chicken blood. His injuries no longer hurt and his body was no longer weak.

He suddenly jumped up from the ground.

With an arrow still on his back, he pushed away the young general who came to support him and asked the officials around him one by one.

"Did you hear that? My son calls me daddy!"

"Uh... I heard it, I heard it, Commander Jiang, your injury..."

He pushed this one aside and asked another.

"Did you hear that?"

"Hey, I heard it..."

Jiang Ci'an held his forehead speechlessly, gave Zhu Jiuxing a look, and had him forcibly helped out.

It is a good thing for father and son to recognize each other.

But unexpectedly, this would also be used by the civil servants to make a fuss!

Use this incident to prevent him from ascending the throne.

It is said that if one wishes to inherit the throne, one cannot acknowledge anyone other than the previous emperor as a father...

Jiang Ci'an has no time to take care of these things now.

His mind was not on the throne, he was anxious to cure Changle!

He did not ask about the affairs of state every day, but personally supervised the execution and forced Mu Li to give him the antidote.

No matter what!

Mu Li also has a bit of a crazy nature, and he refuses to reveal it no matter what.

He was subjected to more than thirty severe punishments, was tortured during the day, and was not allowed to sleep at night, but he just wouldn't say anything!

Jiang Ci'an was at a loss and frowned in confusion.

Coincidentally, An Shengyang came to ask for a meeting again.

After thinking it over again and again, he finally met her this time.

She was summoned to the torture chamber.

As he expected.

Seeing Mu Li tortured beyond recognition, An Shengyang felt so distressed that his eyes were blurred with tears.

"Son... my son, how did you get beaten into this state?"

Mu Li was hanging in the air, purple-black blood dripping down the iron chains.

However, he seemed not to feel any pain and tilted his head to avoid An Shengyang's touch.

Spitting blood foam.

"Who is...your son? The one across from you...that's your son!"

"Li'er..."

An Shengyang was crying so hard that she couldn't see clearly, so she turned around and begged Jiang Ci'an.

"An'er, he's your brother! Can you please stop torturing him like this... Just give him a quick death! Mother begs you..."

Jiang Ci'an sneered.

"Brother? How come I didn't know that Commander Jiang has a second son?"

An Shengyang choked and tried his best to say nice things.

"An'er, for mother's sake, please let him go. Mother... Mother kneels down for you!"

After all, she had raised Mu Li for nearly ten years, and she couldn't bear to see him being tortured like this.

Regardless of what others said about Jiang Ci'an, she knelt down and begged Jiang Ci'an.

"Mom, please...let your brother go!"

Jiang Ci'an was furious and slammed the table and stood up.

"Brother? That's the traitor who murdered Emperor An! Are you crazy? How dare you plead for a traitor?"

An Xingyangyu shook her head with tears in her eyes.

"No... Li'er, Li'er must have regretted it. He, he's still young..."

"Hey, An Shengyang, don't you know what he did? Do you want me to tell you about his glorious deeds?

Mu Li, no, it should be Shen Li. He was originally from Qi and came to Anguo to escape punishment. Later, he was adopted by you by taking advantage of his appearance. He advocated the opposition between civil and military officials and disrupted the court of Anguo.

After Changle and I returned to China, he first arranged for Jiang Yue to alienate the relationship between Changle and me, and then planned the Spring Hunt assassination, deliberately luring Changle to the Medicine King Valley;

Taking advantage of Changle asking for medicine, he poisoned her and her son!

"After all these things, you said he was still young and asked me to let him go? Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

Listening to Jiang Ci'an recounting his crimes, Mu Li chuckled.

Shake your head to correct:

"No... there is one thing you are wrong about—

It was indeed me who poisoned Shen Changle, but my target was not her. From the very beginning, I was aiming to kill you!

Including the Spring Hunt assassination, I just simply wanted to kill you!

But I didn't expect her to go to Medicine King Valley, and I didn't expect her to be able to get in, or even bring the medicine back..."

"You're still lying!"

Jiang Ci'an didn't believe what he said and glared at him with hatred.

"You didn't mean to harm Changle, so why did she become like this?"

“Haha… Believe it or not, it’s all connected, you really think highly of me!

As for poisoning Shen Changle... I'm not afraid to tell you!

I originally planned to make her like the Medicine King's wife, wait for her to become ill, take the antidote, and then go crazy and kill her lover...

When she regains consciousness, I will take the opportunity to give her love and care, support her child to take the throne, and I will be the regent. It's that simple!

But I didn't expect that even in this state, she would still refuse to take the antidote! She is so infatuated..."

He shook his head and scoffed.

Jiang Ci'an was stunned.

"What did you say? Changle knows the antidote?"

"Of course! She was the one who came up with this prescription!"

"Then why didn't she detoxify herself?"

Jiang Ci'an didn't understand and muttered to himself.

Mu Li sneered:

"Because once she takes the antidote, she'll uncontrollably demand her lover's heart's blood as bait. She doesn't want you to die... maybe."
