Chapter 162
A mighty and ferocious tiger was crawling at the feet of a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes with a graceful figure. The beautiful woman was covering her face with a fan in her left hand and holding a piece of blood-red meat in her right hand, feeding a tiger with its claws cut.
"Have you figured it out?" Baili Changyuan put away the painting with an expressionless face.
"Is it possible that the emperor is dissatisfied with us?" Baili Shun asked tentatively.
"Not only us, but also the good queen beside him. There have been rumors about the discord between the emperor and the queen for a long time. Now the emperor wants to use the reward as a warning."
"So what if it's a threat? Shun'er, remember, tigers can't be raised or tamed. If they want to rip our hands and feet off, they have to see if we will fight back and bite their throats."
"The Baili family has been fighting and plundering all our lives. No one can destroy us. Even if it is God's will, we will fight!"
Baili Shun still remembered the warning from that year, so he did not expect others to help him clear his grievances, but took the initiative before the imperial edict came down.
"You did very well."
Baili Shun turned around, turned his wrist and threw out a piece of gold. This was an ornament he had torn off the hem of his clothes when he changed clothes in prison.
The young jailer was overjoyed and quickly reached in to pick it up.
"I didn't help. I just threw something in the haystack outside the death row. It's none of my business whether anyone picked it up or not!" The jailer quickly wiped the gold piece, put it in his mouth and bit it. When he saw a row of clear marks, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and didn't hide anything.
"Oh, I think you should stop busying yourself. Aren't you going to die after all this busying? There are only two days left. If there is something you are reluctant to give up, or if you want a woman to give birth to a child to carry on the family line, I can help you!"
Baili Shun remained silent. At this moment, the jailer tilted his head as if whispering with someone else. He took a gold ingot from the other person with a flattering face and quickly ran out of the corridor outside the cell.
Then, a sneer of contempt sounded in the darkness outside the cell.
"Baili Shun, how are you these days?"
When Baili Shun heard the voice, his heart skipped a beat for no reason.
The person outside the door had no intention of hiding anything. He walked lightly, turned around, pushed the door open and entered the cell.
The young man tapped his eyebrows with his fingertips, as if he was choosing his words. Baili Shun, who was facing him, sat up straight without leaving any trace.
The two of them said nothing to each other, just looking at each other's faces.
The visitor was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a feminine appearance and a vulgar scent of makeup. Baili Shun hated the strong and ostentatious smell and could not help but frowning deeply.
"You are a very important person since you can enter the death row. Are you an enemy or a friend?"
"Who am I? I am Zhe Ye! As you can see, I spent a lot of money to come and visit you, a great man. I hope you have been living well all these years!" Zhe Ye leaned against the wall, his eyes falling on various places in the dark cell, looking left and right.
The death cell never sees sunlight, so even if Baili Shun loves cleanliness, there will inevitably be a strange smell. Zhe Ye frowned.
"The noble master of the Baili family is in trouble now. Why didn't your friends and relatives come to see you for the last time?"
"Why bother testing? Just speak your mind."
Baili Shun was very calm, and there wasn't even a trace of confusion in his deep red eyes. His indifference, as if he didn't take Zhe Ye seriously at all, made Zhe Ye feel a little frustrated.
How could he still be so calm and so arrogant?
The boy suddenly laughed, and his laughter was so sharp that his teeth were gnashed.
"Baili Shun, if you want me to speak frankly, then I will! Do you remember what you did more than ten years ago?"
"More than ten years ago?" Baili Shun frowned and thought.
"Are you very proud? You killed my father, ruined my mother, and made me an orphan who can be bullied by everyone. Are you very proud?" After Zhe Ye finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Baili Shun.
Seeing the other person's expression becoming increasingly panic-stricken, the teeth that he was biting on slowly loosened their grip.
"How pitiful! Even if you put in all your efforts, no one loves you in the end! Your father doesn't love you, and my mother doesn't love you either. She even wants you to die! Do you taste the poisoned wine you drank that day?"
"You abuse yourself, beg humbly, but in the end you still have nothing. Murong Lingshuang, who grew up with you, didn't say a word to help you when you were humiliated. The woman you love the most is now hiding in the sky and you are a monster. Now you are going to die and no one can see you off. I can't bear it!"
Baili Shun felt as if he had been hit on the head with a stick. The pain made his scalp numb and his hands trembled.
He didn't know when the young man at the door was standing in front of him, enjoying his embarrassment with a happy smile.
The boy's eyebrows and eyes gradually overlapped with the face in his memory.
"you……"
“But don’t worry. I am very kind and I can help you survive!” Zhe Ye emphasized the syllables of the word “survive”, making it sound meaningful.
Baili Shun finally remembered. From the moment the other person appeared, Baili Shun felt that the delicate and charming face and the angry and resentful eyes were very familiar.
It turned out that he was the child born to his mother and that man! The baby boy was held in his mother's arms and comforted gently!
"You're not dead?"
"Yes~ My only advantage is that I can survive and endure. Is that surprising?"
Zhe Ye restrained his smile and said calmly, "It was really hard for me to grow up. I thought I was abandoned at birth. I hated them countless times in all those years of struggling for survival. But it was not until your guard Chen Xuanling told me the truth that I realized that my life was ruined by you and your son!"
Just because of Baili Changyuan's self-righteous and selfish love, his happy life was ruined and nothing was left.
He was also a child loved by his parents. He should have gone to school, taken exams, and done things with integrity like other people.
Instead of learning obscene lyrics and songs, and being a androgynous courtesan who puts on makeup and paints herself for the amusement of others!
The weak boy had waited for a long time and endured for a long time before he finally saw this day. Day and night seemed to be tortured in boiling water. Whenever he could not bear it anymore and wanted to be free, fate would sprinkle a piece of candy for him, making him look forward to a happy life after his great revenge.
Whenever he saw couples with their children passing by Jinghua Shuiyue Pavilion, he would wonder if his mother and father were still watching him in heaven, waiting for him to avenge them?
Baili Shun pursed his lips, his heart beating slowly in his chest. Every beat felt like countless hooks coming from all directions, pulling at his heart.
It was difficult to breathe and the pain was unbearable, as if I had fallen into a deep pool with no hope of salvation.
But even so, he captured important information.
"When did Chen Xuanling contact you?" Baili Shun covered his heart. The dull pain from there made his voice weak, sounding guilty and regretful.
Zhe Ye did not respond enthusiastically to this question. He took a deep look at Baili Shun's jade-like delicate face, then lowered his voice and said jokingly, "Baili Shun, you have a really good face. I think with your looks, if you can survive and become a male prostitute in Jinghua Shuiyue Pavilion, there will definitely be many guys who admire you and want to buy your virginity, right?"
