Chapter 389: Poison must be saved if possible
Liu Dexia kowtowed until he was exhausted and collapsed on the ground, but he still made a final struggle: "Your Highness, please be magnanimous and spare my life. I will agree to any conditions you ask for."
"Let's get started." Feng Ming was too lazy to talk too much and just looked up and signaled to the skinny monkey.
Uncle Qiu picked up the copper kettle again and poured a bowl of hot water into the bowl.
The skinny monkey took out a packet of white medicine powder from his arms and poured the powder into a bowl to dissolve it.
Liu Dexia watched with his own eyes, and immediately understood what he had to do: "Your Highness Prince Yi, I am willing to confess in front of the spirit of Concubine Lan, and I am also willing to donate all my property. At least there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver as compensation. Your Excellency is very generous, and what happened back then was not entirely due to me..."
"You are not worthy of mentioning the Empress." Aunt Jing watched coldly, gritting her teeth, "You are nothing but a snob, and you have had so many opportunities over the years. But you don't know how you acted. You should go to hell and confess in person after you die. Ah, no, you are not worthy of seeing the Empress even if you go to hell."
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Liu Dexia stared at the white powder slowly dissolving with one eye, and stared at Prince Yi Fengming with the other.
"Shut up!" Feng Ming frowned. He simply didn't want to hear Liu Dexia's noisy voice like an old crow.
Liu Dexia begged for a long time but to no avail, but suddenly thought of a ray of hope: "Your Highness cannot kill me. I was assigned by Concubine Yi to go to His Royal Highness Prince Duan today... If they see that I have not received any news for such a long time..."
"You're still talking so much when you're about to die." The skinny monkey kicked him again, picked up the rag on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Wuwuwu..." Liu Dexia was still struggling to say something, but it was no longer clear.
Prince Yi Fengming didn't want to pay any attention to the dying man in front of him.
However, Zhou Chang still couldn't hear the alarm of a fire outside, and he became a little anxious. He urged Uncle Qiu: "Is the medicine completely melted?"
Uncle Qiu stared at the bowl in his hand and shook it carefully: "Almost done."
"Uncle Qiu's legs were disabled for life because of that beast. Do you want to do it yourself?" Feng Mingyi didn't want to delay any longer.
Uncle Qiu hated Liu Dexia deeply and seemed to have some intention, but his hands were shaking as he held the medicine bowl.
"I'll do it..." Aunt Jing was much more generous.
"Aunt Jing, you'd better not..." Feng Ming stopped her. Aunt Jing's hands were like a mother's, combing his hair and dressing him. Deep down, he didn't want her to be involved.
"Alas..." The skinny monkey pouted in disgust, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I said, whether it's eating or feeding, I have to do it in the end."
Feng Ming did not object. After all, he was too proud of his status to do it himself.
Liu Dexia was wailing on the ground.
The skinny monkey kicked Liu Dexia, who was lying on the ground like a maggot, and asked Gao Yuan for help: "Brother Gao, please help me stabilize it."
Gao Yuan didn't say a word, grabbed Liu Dexia's hair with one hand and lifted him up.
The skinny monkey took off the rag that was gag him with one hand and pinched Liu Dexia's jaw with the other hand.
Liu Dexia screamed "Ah" and was about to speak when he was strangled again.
The skinny monkey took the medicine bowl handed to him by Uncle Qiu with his other hand and poured the medicine into his wide-open mouth.
"Go slowly, so he can't drink much." Gao Yuan rarely came to give on-site guidance.
The skinny monkey quickly gave Liu Dexia the entire bowl of poison, and half of it spilled on his body.
After the medicine was poured in, Gao Yuan's arms didn't seem to be strained at all. He shook Liu Dexia in the air to make sure he wouldn't spit out the medicine again, and then threw him to the ground again.
The skinny monkey quickly went over and covered Liu Dexia's mouth again to prevent him from shouting again.
Afterwards, several people retreated to the side of Prince Yi.
No one spoke, they all stared at Liu Dexia lying on the ground, waiting to die.
Liu Dexia was like a fish on a chopping board, his eyes were empty, and his tied up body was twisting desperately on the ground.
After waiting for a long while, the room became increasingly hot and stuffy, but Liu Dexia still "stubbornly" refused to die.
Feng Ming frowned, becoming more and more anxious: "Monkey, I told you to buy expensive medicine, is this fake medicine?"
"Is he worthy of it?" The skinny monkey spat and continued to look up with his arms folded. "Why buy expensive ones when you can get cheaper ones? Don't worry, Your Majesty. The store owner guarantees that this arsenic is good to use."
"He's not worth it, but we have to be efficient when doing things. It's just a matter of spending a few more coins." Feng Ming shook his head.
Just waiting and not dying is a torture for both sides.
Zhou Chang was more concerned about the outside world. Why was there no sign of arson?
The skinny monkey kicked Liu Dexia a few more times impatiently.
Liu Dexia was twisting his body, but he was still very energetic and showed no signs of dying.
The skinny monkey was also puzzled: "The arsenic I bought is fine..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Dexia finally began to roll his eyes and white foam came out of the corners of his mouth.
"It's almost there, it's almost there..." Feng Ming's patience had reached its limit, but he had to see Liu Dexia breathe his last with his own eyes.
The skinny monkey also felt that it was "almost enough" and went over to pull the rag out of Liu Dexia's mouth.
Who would have thought that Liu Dexia would catch his breath and yell, "You are abusing lynching. You will regret it. I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."
"Do you still know about retribution?" The skinny monkey grabbed Liu Dexia's neck again.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Liu Dexia used up his last bit of strength to cough violently.
The skinny monkey picked up the rag on the ground in disgust and stuffed it back into Liu Dexia's mouth to cover his mouth.
Liu Dexia could not curse, but his eyes were fierce and his eyeballs were bulging with blood. Although he could not get up, he could still glance at a few people viciously.
In the stuffy room, everyone felt a chill.
After all, it was his first time killing someone, and he had never seen such a vicious look.
Zhou Chang couldn't help but shudder, and it seemed that he had regained control of Prince Yi's body.
Liu Dexia struggled desperately, his eyes full of hatred like an ice cone piercing Prince Yi, making Zhou Chang's back shiver.
This makeshift warehouse was already crowded and small. Even though he pretended to remain calm, he could not avoid the resentful gazes.
Zhou Chang could no longer hold back his emotion. He stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and took a deep breath.
You could hear a pin drop in the backyard, and when I listened carefully to any movement in the distance, there was still nothing.
"The room is too stuffy, let's end it as soon as possible." Zhou Chang also knew that he had lost his composure.
Aunt Jing suddenly pointed to the ground and said, "It seems to be working."
Zhou Chang turned around again. Liu Dexia could no longer make a sound, but his eyes were wide open and he refused to close them: "Why is this medicine so ineffective?"
The thin monkey also knew that this was a complaint against him for not buying enough arsenic, so he took out the dagger and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I will send him off right away."
"No, won't this leave traces?" Zhou Chang felt like steam was coming out of his body, but his head was cold and he remained rational.
