Empress with no virtue |LK ADAPTATION|

CHAPTER 93

The conditions of food and accommodation inside Xing Bu(1) prison were basically varied inversely to the severity of crimes committed by the prisoners. For example, serious criminal such as Ji Li You lived in cell with bed, ate food separately, and wore better prisoner clothes than ordinary prisoner, thick light-gray prisoner clothes even though with the same big character 'prisoner' printed. His attire however was like an indomitable scholar which harmed by a treacherous court official.

Of course, this was just a facade.

This was a person who was personally arrested by the emperor under imperial decree. His interrogation was taken charge directly by secret agents, above any guanyuan(2) of Xing Bu.

Therefore for those who held imperial edict to go in and out from this place, the prison guards were not surprised. However, the arrival of this holy person today was a little unusual —— very good looking, menfolk who saw him would inevitably get jealous because the majority of young lady would be attracted by this kind of attractive young man.

Anyway, judging from his approaching footsteps, this person's skill should be pretty good.

Having good-looking face yet being able to do martial arts, he was really too annoying.

Ji Jungkook walked into the prisoner cell under the envious gaze of the prison guards. He saw Ji Li You wearing handcuffs and shackles on his feet. Eating prisoner food for several days, this person actually did not lose weight even a bit, but beard of several days without shaving had grown a layer of stubble, covering the face, adding a few hint of shabbiness.

When Ji Li You saw him, he smiled coldly and said, "If you want to kill, you may cut off the flesh as punishment, allowing you to be freed from interrogating."

Ji Jungkook did not intend to ask him anything either. Bai Jian Cheng's group of rebel had almost completely been captured by him. Ji Li You's trusted aide had been arrested too. The culprit had been captured. He did not care if there were one or two fishes that escaped the net. Anyway without Ji Li You, those people would have no reason to plot a rebellion again in the future.

Ji Jungkook looked at Ji Li You and sighed. "In fact, you do not have to die."

Ji Li You coldly snorted.

"Whether you believe it or not, Zhen was somewhat delighted when first heard about his brother's being alive. Ji shi family was originally weak. Although you planned to seize the throne, but Zhen did not plan to ask for your life. But you should not do this, should not create flood for your own sake. Almost ten thousand life ruined on your hand. Even if Zhen wished to pardon you, I'm afraid the people of this country would not agree."

"You are Ji Jungkook. You can stand here and blame me for killing innocent people," Ji Li You chuckled, "You have everything and I have nothing. I do not care about other people's life and death, because no one cares about my life and death. Everyone wants to be Ji Jungkook, but was born as Ji Li You."

Actually Ji Jungkook somewhat understood why Ji Li You had such thinking. All of this man's feeling was strangled at the age of three and after that he lived in hatred for twenty years, now in his eyes there was nothing beside taking revenge for the throne. In order to get the throne, let alone killing ten thousand people, even killing more than ten thousand or hundred thousand, perhaps his eyes would not blink once.

Ji Jungkook also did not want to convince him anything before facing his death, only said, "Do you still have any unfulfilled wish?"

"Yes," Ji Li You replied. "Considering our bodies have a share of same blood, could you promise me this request?"
