Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 417: You Leave, and I’ll Let Her Go!
"Pei Jinheng, what are you doing? What exactly do you want to do?"
Long Yue watched helplessly as she was taken away by these people, unable to do anything, because her hands and feet were bound, and crucially, the other party held a long knife directly against her neck.
Just a little movement, and she would truly die.
She didn’t know what they wanted to do, but it certainly wasn’t anything good.
Pei Jinheng didn’t bother to cover her eyes with fabric anymore; perhaps it was no longer necessary. Long Yue saw herself being taken from an underground secret chamber to the outside.
Outside was a courtyard, the layout very familiar, precisely the place where Yuan Hong Wine had been stored and Princess Nianxi detained.
As expected, all of this, all of it, was their doing.
Long Yue was escorted all the way to a dense forest, where in the center there was an open space filled with charcoal, burnt red at the bottom, just looking at it felt scorching hot.
They brought Long Yue here, and she panicked at once.
Were they going to push her into this charcoal? Burn her alive?
Pei Jinheng!
Long Yue looked at him furiously.
Pei Jinheng just sneered, waving his hand, and immediately someone led Long Yue into the charcoal.
It was only then that Long Yue noticed a small path in the middle, free of charcoal. The sight of the charcoal just now was overwhelming, and her focus was entirely on Pei Jinheng, so she hadn’t noticed it.
Long Yue was led down the path, her feet still feeling somewhat scorching, and ahead was a large stone platform with a pillar on top.
What on earth was Pei Jinheng planning?
Long Yue had a vague guess but couldn’t be sure.
The men in black escorted Long Yue onto the stone platform and tied her to the pillar. Pei Jinheng came up too, stood not far from her, and looked at her coldly.
This woman was someone he once liked; he had thought of bringing her wealth and prosperity after he ascended as Emperor, letting her enjoy glory and splendor, but now it seemed it was all just his own wishful thinking.
Ha, how ridiculous!
Pei Jinheng chuckled self-mockingly, his expression a bit desolate.
Long Yue’s face was cold; she couldn’t be bothered to say anything like "turn over a new leaf" at this moment.
"Quick, quick, over there!"
"Mr. Li, slow down, be careful of a trap!"
Meanwhile, hurried hoofbeats sounded from afar, with the voices of men, women, and even a teenager.
"A Mu!"
Just by hearing that voice, Long Yue knew who had come, and her eyes showed joy, but it was soon drowned in tension and fear.
Pei Jinheng... he had tied her up here, his purpose was to lure Li Qingmu and the others, what did he want to do?
"Giddy-up, giddy-up!"
Several fast horses appeared on the horizon, led by none other than Li Qingmu!
Li Qingmu saw Long Yue and immediately dismounted.
"Yue’er!"
He rushed over in alarm, seeing the situation before him, and couldn’t help but be stunned.
"Li Qingmu, you’ve come?"
Pei Jinheng’s sinister voice rang out, holding a dagger to Long Yue’s neck.
"I’ve finally waited for you, the one who’s repeatedly ruined my plans!"
As he spoke, Pei Jinheng almost gnashed his teeth!
Because if it weren’t for this couple, no, just if it weren’t for this man, none of this would have happened! It was him, all because of him!
Pei Jinheng knew he was finished, the entire Imperial City, Shengjing City, inside and out, was locked down, even some hidden underground passages were blocked by them, there was no way out!
When a person is in despair, knowing they are doomed, don’t they always have to do something?
Pei Jinheng felt he should accomplish something, at least to face the ancestors of the Chen Country’s Imperial Family after his death.
"Pei Jinheng, let Yue’er go!"
Li Qingmu shouted loudly, not caring about anything else.
Pei Jinheng mocked, "Let her go? Li Qingmu, such a smart person, since when have you become so stupid to ask me to let her go? Hahaha..."
"What do you want?"
At this moment, Li Qingmu didn’t care about anything else. He just wanted to save Yue’er. This man had gone insane after his defeat. The longer Yue’er remained in his hands, the more danger she was in.
"What do I want?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Pei Jinheng looked over sideways, scratching his ear, and sneered, "Li Qingmu, you should know, Yue’er was rightfully mine. You took her from me!!!"
His emotions turned sudden and agitated, roaring in anger, "You, it’s you! It’s all because of you! If not for you, my grand plan would have succeeded, and I would have won the beauty! It’s all because of you! Ah—
Li Qingmu, don’t you love her deeply, huh? Fine, come, come over. If you can cross this path of charcoal and come before me, I’ll give her back to you, hm? Do you dare? Do you dare? Hahaha—"
"Path of charcoal?"
Li Qingmu was taken aback, then looked at the black coal at his feet, its bottom burnt red, with faint white smoke.
At almost the moment his gaze landed there, Long Yue and Qi Jingyu shouted, "No!"
"A Mu, don’t come over, he won’t let me go, he’s a devil, he just wants to torment you!"
"Uncle Mu, calm down, we’ll find another way, don’t fall for his trick!"
Pei Jinheng seeing Li Qingmu hesitate, sneered endlessly, "Li Qingmu, oh Li Qingmu, I thought you loved her so deeply, didn’t expect you’re just afraid of dying, unwilling to even cross a charcoal path? If that’s the case, then what right do you have to deserve her, huh?"
"I’ll go! I’ll walk over, and you’ll release Yue’er!"
Li Qingmu didn’t know what Pei Jinheng’s plan was, but at this moment, he could only go along with it. He couldn’t bear to watch Yue’er in his hands!
"No! Don’t—"
"Uncle Mu!"
Long Yue and Qi Jingyu both shouted loudly, but Li Qingmu rushed straight over.
"Sizzle—"
The sound of flesh searing was heard as Long Yue watched Li Qingmu step onto the charcoal path, her face turning pale instantly.
"A Mu!"
She screamed mournfully, struggling mightily, trying to break free from the pillar.
But how could she possibly break free? They had tied her up tightly, layer upon layer, making it impossible to even move a bit!
The intense burning pain came from his feet, causing Li Qingmu to stagger and nearly fall, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Pei Jinheng was doing this just to humiliate him, though he could bear suffering for Yue’er’s sake, he absolutely couldn’t let Pei Jinheng be pleased with himself. He couldn’t fall, and even more so, he couldn’t kneel to him!
"Haha, hahahaha—"
Pei Jinheng watched Li Qingmu’s suddenly pale face and the large beads of sweat on his forehead, feeling immensely satisfied. The sight of him gritting his teeth and trudging forward step by step made him feel even more ecstatic.
"Whizz—"
Just as he was laughing triumphantly, a Silver Needle suddenly flew in from the sky!
