I'm the villain in the book

"close the door."

Give an order in a deep voice, and then step forward step by step.

Li Qi's pace became slower and slower, and Yu Pingjun suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.

A brief moment of surprise flashed past, and then only hatred remained in those eyes.

This was the first time the two had seen each other since that night.

Or maybe the last time we meet.

"..."

Without dodging Yu Pingjun's gaze, Li Qi went all the way to the stone bed and released the acupuncture points for the former amidst the "rumbling" sound of the prison door closing.

As the flame flickered, the cell fell into silence.

Both of them seemed to have a lot to say, but neither seemed willing to speak first.

In the end, it was Li Qi's slightly bitter voice that sounded first.

"you lost weight."

"..."

"Cluck, cluck cluck..."

It seemed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, and the laughter slowly rose from small to loud, and then became almost crazy.

"Hahahaha, Your Majesty..."

"Chen Qie never imagined that this would be the first thing you say when you see Chen Qie."

"Thin? Hahaha..."

One hand rested on his heaving chest, and the other pointed at Li Qi who was frowning.

Yu Pingjun laughed so hard that he could hardly breathe, and while laughing, he tried his best to sarcastically say: "Your Majesty, I seem to have lost some weight when I look at you."

"Hehehe, but I don't know why you are?"

"Could it be because of the concubine?"

"Giggle cluck..."

"..."

The piercing laughter echoed in the dark cell, one after another.

Li Qi just stood there without saying a word, until Yu Pingjun got tired of laughing before slowly opening his mouth again and said:

"Ping Jun, I only have three words to say to you this time."

"I know you may not want to listen, but... these may also be the last three sentences I will say to you."

"..."

Three final sentences.

The meaning of these words could not be more obvious, that is——

Either way, you are going to die.

"Ok?"

Seemingly surprised by Li Qi's frankness, the smile on Yu Pingjun's face finally faded away at this moment.

She tried her best to support her body, and sat up beside the bed with her back against the stone wall.

Then, staring straight at the man in front of him, he said something indifferently.

"Your Majesty, tell me, my concubine is listening."

"..."

"it is good."

......

The afterglow of the candlelight was swallowed up by the darkness, leaving no ripples on the tight stone walls.

At this moment, the apparently spacious cell is like a coffin, located in the most remote corner of the prison, crowded with oppression and desolation.

"Mr. Ping, I've thought about what you and Ding Zhong did for a long time... but I still can't get over the hurdle in my heart"

The palms hidden in the sleeves were clenched into fists, and Li Qi said the first sentence calmly, a little dryly.

For some reason, he no longer called himself Zhen, but changed back to the most ordinary "I".

"I will find a reasonable reason for your death, and no one will know what you did."

"As for the rest of the Yu family... I will let go of those who have nothing to do with this matter."

"..."

Gu Pingjun was speechless, and after Li Qi finished his first sentence, the expression on Yu Pingjun's face did not change at all.

She knew that it was not easy for the latter to achieve this level, but...

"Second thing, about her..."

On the other side, Li Qi didn't seem to expect to get a response from Yu Pingjun from the beginning to the end, so he paused for a while and then spoke again.

"Yes, I have never forgotten her."

"It is indeed because of this that I don't want to have any more children."

"This matter...you may have already guessed it, and I won't hide it from you."

"It's just that Tong'er is innocent. Since she really regards you as her mother, you shouldn't treat her like this."

"..."

First he confessed that he would definitely kill Yu Pingjun, and then he confessed that he really missed that woman.

What Li Qi said now can be said to be completely opposite to what Wei Changtian wanted him to say.

But it's all sincere.

After a few breaths of silence again, he slowly raised his head.

Li Qi looked at Yu Pingjun's eyes containing all kinds of complex emotions, and suddenly his shoulders trembled slightly.

He took a light breath, hesitantly took a step closer, and finally said the last sentence as if mustering up a lot of courage, which was also the apology that Mr. Yu Ping had waited for 20 years.

"One last thing..."

"Mr. Ping, whether you believe it or not, I never knew that you had such a big resentment towards me in your heart."

"If I knew what you were thinking, I would never force you to recognize Tong'er, nor would I be so indifferent to you."

"I know it's too late to talk about it now."

"However... For the past 20 years, I have been sorry for you."

"It's me, sorry for you..."

"..."

Lowering his head a little bit, Li Qi repeated the last six words over and over again.

These six words were actually written on the piece of paper that Wei Changtian left behind, but at this time, it was also Li Qi's sincere words.

For Yu Pingjun, she can naturally tell whether this sentence is true or not.

It was also because of this that her vision became blurred at this time.

"pat..."

A bean-sized tear fell on the prison uniform, and traces of blood were bitten on the pale lips.

At this moment, Yu Pingjun suddenly remembered the two lines of Wei Changtian's poem that he had said to himself.

"If life is just like the first sight, what is the autumn wind and sad painting fan."

"Waiting for leisure to change the old heart, but the old heart is easy to change."

"..."

Regret that I had never felt in 20 years came to my heart, and then turned into deeper sadness.

As Li Qi said.

If I had known this, why bother.

Why not yourself?

Is everything that happened now really what I wanted?

"emperor......"

Raising his head with tears in his eyes, Yu Pingjun slowly stretched out a hand, as if he wanted to caress the trembling shoulder of the man in front of him.

But at this moment, with a muffled "click", the heavy cell door behind the two was suddenly pushed open little by little.

Violently shaking flames squeezed in from the gradually widening gap, shining on several shining long knives, faintly illuminating the dark red blood flowing on the ground.

Chapter 372 Li Qi's Enlightenment

The cell door opened suddenly, the long knife hanging outside the door, the bloodstains flowing on the ground, and the sound of fighting from a distance... Everything came very suddenly, but it clearly explained one thing--

Someone wants to take Yu Pingjun's life.

"Cang Lang Lang!"

"Who?!"

Turning his head suddenly, Li Qi pulled out the Emperor Sword from his waist without hesitation.

And as the cell door was fully opened, several people outside the door rushed in, but the other party was also taken aback by the question.

"Emperor, Your Majesty?!"

There were five people in total, all wearing the official uniforms of the prison guards of the Ministry of Punishment, and the long knives in their hands were covered with blood.

At this moment, their faces were full of astonishment, and they even took a step back subconsciously.

Obviously, no matter who they were ordered to kill Yu Pingjun, they didn't expect to see Li Qi here.

Compared with their panic, the latter quickly came back to his senses, and immediately shouted sharply:

"Trespassing the prison! You guys are so brave!"

"Don't let me go!"

"..."

"This......"

A loud shout made the five people retreat again, but when the sound of fighting not far away floated into their ears, they suddenly regained their senses.

"Your Majesty! I'm sorry!"

"The Queen must die today!!"

Up to now, there is no way out, and the person behind them threatened their family members, making them want to kill Yu Pingjun no matter what.

As for Li Qi... Although the five of them had already rebelled, they also knew the consequences of assassinating the emperor of a country, so none of them had the intention to kill at this time.

"Shh!!!"

The five figures flashed past, heading straight for Mr. Yu Ping, who was curled up on the stone bed with wide eyes, ready to kill him quickly and then commit suicide on the spot.

No matter how big a prison cell is, it is only a few feet long and wide, so the five people have shot near the stone bed almost in the blink of an eye.

But at this moment, the man holding the Tianzi sword took a step forward and protected Yu Pingjun behind him.

"presumptuous!!"

"I want to see which of you dare?!"

Although he knew that these five people were secret agents, Li Qi could see that they were still quite afraid of him, so the emperor's air in his tone was revealed, and he tried to use this to scare the other party away.

However, this kind of tactic also depends on the situation. Now that the assassin is determined to die, this move will have no effect.

"Your Majesty, get out of the way."
