Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 580: I’ll Bite You Even If I Die!

"Must you meet him?"

Long Yue looked at him, her eyes filled with worry. No matter what, she felt that it was not the right time to see the deposed Crown Prince Qi Junji.

Moreover, she was worried about one thing: Would Qi Junji try to harm him?

Li Qingmu noticed Long Yue’s concern and smiled lightly, "Don’t worry. He is now a deposed Crown Prince and imprisoned. How could he possibly harm anyone? Alright, I’ll go see him, you get some rest early!"

Li Qingmu comforted his young wife for a while, then put on his fur cloak and left.

It was just after the Spring Festival, the weather was still cold, especially at night, a gust of wind could freeze someone to death.

"My lord, madam said to keep this hot water bag, so you don’t catch a chill!"

In front of the carriage, just as Li Qingmu was about to get on, Maid Hongtang came running over with a hot water bag.

Li Qingmu rubbed his nose, took the hot water bag, and smiled, "Alright!"

His young wife was really attentive to him!

These sweet, affectionate days were so blissful.

Holding the warm hot water bag in his hands, Li Qingmu soon arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Prison. Several prison guards were surprised to see him.

"Mr. Li, you..."

Li Qingmu had been here before, so the Prison Chief and guards all knew him. Moreover, his reputation as the "Emperor’s favorite" was very well-known, so the guards treated him with great courtesy.

"Is Mr. Li feeling better?"

One of the guards asked with an ingratiating smile.

"What kind of question is that? Can’t you see Mr. Li is full of spirit? He must be feeling better!"

Another guard next to him kicked his companion, then turned around and also put on a smile.

Li Qingmu responded softly, then said, "I want to see the deposed Crown Prince!"

"Ah?"

The guard was astonished. What was going on today? Why was everyone coming to see the deposed Crown Prince? And Mr. Li, coming to see him this late at night, isn’t it inappropriate?

But they could only keep these thoughts to themselves. After hesitating for a moment, one of them said, "Mr. Li, I’m afraid this is inappropriate..."

"I’ll take full responsibility for anything that happens!"

"This..."

The guards exchanged glances once more.

Since Li Qingmu said so, they couldn’t reasonably stop him from visiting. The guard who seemed to be the Prison Chief clenched his teeth, "Alright, but the visit can’t be long, and this matter has to be reported to the Emperor later."

"Alright!"

As a Minister, it was indeed inappropriate for Li Qingmu to see the deposed Crown Prince, but he planned to explain to Qi Yun later, so it wouldn’t be a big issue.

Under the guidance of the Prison Chief, Li Qingmu entered the "Heavenly Pavilion" cell and saw Qi Junji sitting on the ground, disheveled.

In fact, Qi Junji should have tidied himself up a bit, but he didn’t.

Because Empress Qiao had said that people have sympathy, more or less. Even those with hearts of stone might be slightly moved upon seeing such misery.

Some people would be so moved that they would weep bitterly, while others would just frown slightly.

Li Qingmu was one of those who just frowned.

He said indifferently, "What does the Crown Prince want by calling me here?"

When the Prison Chief brought Li Qingmu over, he opened the cell door, but Li Qingmu had no intention of going inside.

Whatever needed to be said could be spoken from outside. He had no personal ties with Qi Junji, in fact, there was some animosity, so naturally there would be no mercy out of sentimentality.

Seeing this, Qi Junji knew that Li Qingmu was wary and distrustful of him and couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

"Imperial Brother, they say a dying man’s words are kind. As your elder brother, I am now regretful."

Li Qingmu’s deep eyes remained indifferent, "I don’t understand what the deposed Crown Prince is saying!"

Clearly, he intended to disassociate his identity, unwilling to engage too deeply.

What a sly man!

Qi Junji laughed bitterly, with some sadness in his eyes, "Imperial Brother, why do you push people away?" I’ve already learned about your true identity. As your elder brother is about to die soon, can’t you come inside, talk a bit, and have a drink with me?"

Empress Qiao had instructed that to deal with an enemy, you must move them with emotion and reason. Since reason wasn’t getting through to him, only emotions were left to discuss.

The greatest weapon in his hand was that they were brothers!

Though not born of the same mother, they still shared half the same blood. The Empress had said that as long as he begged sincerely and pitifully, Li Qingmu would definitely be moved.

How pitiable it was; the once noble Crown Prince now trapped and forced to grovel!

At the thought of this, Qi Junji couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

In front of him on the desk lay a pot of wine and two cups. Looking at Li Qingmu, he said blandly, "What, are you afraid to come in and share a drink with your older brother? Haha, are you afraid I might have poisoned it?"

After saying this, Qi Junji laughed heartily, poured himself a cup of wine, raised it, and downed it in one gulp!

Li Qingmu watched him drink, noting how, due to his haste, the wine spilled onto his clothes, making him look even more miserable.

His expression darkened slightly, "I’m very afraid of dying."

It wasn’t that he was cowardly, but truly afraid.

If life had no attachments or responsibilities, then life and death could mean little. But when there are people you want to protect, death becomes terrifying.

Li Qingmu had children and a wife; the road ahead was still long, and he was indeed fond of this world.

So regardless of how pitiable Qi Junji appeared, he remained indifferent and refused to take a single step into the cell.

Qi Junji’s eyes narrowed slightly. His mother was right; Li Qingmu was cunning, ruthless, and cold-hearted. Despite appealing to feelings of brotherhood and asking for just a drink, anyone would normally agree, but he still refused!

Such a man, it’s hard to say whether he’s too clever or too cold.

Qi Junji stumbled to his feet, knocked the wine cup off the table, and walked over with the wine pot in hand.

Drinking heavily as he did so.

"Imperial Brother, you truly are a heartless man!"

Qi Junji sneered, and Li Qingmu’s brows furrowed even more deeply.

If he were truly heartless, he wouldn’t have come to see him one last time!

"It seems you only wanted to vent to me? In that case, I’m sorry, I won’t stay any longer! Farewell!"

Li Qingmu turned to leave.

Qi Junji’s pupils suddenly constricted, and suddenly, he dropped the wine pot, drawing a dagger from his waist!

"Li Qingmu, it’s all because of you, you ruined me, and I want to drag you with me!"

Qi Junji suddenly shouted loudly, thrusting the dagger towards Li Qingmu’s back.

Li Qingmu had some basic martial skills, so upon hearing the sound behind him, he immediately turned around and grabbed Qi Junji’s hand holding the dagger, coldly saying, "Crown Prince, I’ve come to see you today, fulfilling my duty to the utmost!

As for being heartless? Ha, between you and me, what brotherly affection is there? If I were the one defeated today, what would you do? You would probably have had me dismembered long ago..."

"Splurt!"

As Li Qingmu spoke, he suddenly felt the dagger in his hand move forward. Looking again, Qi Junji had already grabbed his own hand and stabbed the dagger into his abdomen!

Li Qingmu’s eyes narrowed, sensing instant danger.

And Qi Junji just grinned widely, his mouth already filled with blood!

"Ah hahaha... Li Qingmu, you never expected this, right? You thought I wanted to kill you, but in fact, I’m... ending myself... no, you killed me..."

Qi Junji had felt scared initially when he stabbed himself, but when the cold touch met his skin, he felt exhilarated, even maneuvering the dagger inside his stomach as he spoke!

Blood sprayed forth, splattering all over Li Qingmu!

"Hahaha... Li Qingmu, even in death, I want to bite you! Puh... ah——"

As Qi Junji spoke to here, he suddenly let out a piercing scream, his face contorting sharply in extreme agony, becoming hideously terrifying!

"Why... why, you said it wouldn’t be painful, why... does it hurt so much, ah——you, you lied to me..."

"Puh——"

A pillar of blood gushed from Qi Junji’s mouth, and he died miserably!

And, he died with his eyes open!
