Chapter 282 I Won’t Marry Her
Ye Luwen still didn't give up on Xu Yingying, but because of the ghosts and gods around Xu Yingying, Ye Luwen couldn't do anything to Xu Yingying for a while.
But how could Ye Luwen let Xu Yingying go so easily? Since he couldn't do anything to Xu Yingying herself, he simply chose to torture Xu Yingying's spirit.
He knew very well that Xu Yingying liked Li Siqi, so Ye Luwen took direct action against Li Siqi. He didn't want Xu Yingying to live so comfortably.
Li Siqi is still trapped in the prison and is tortured by Ye Luwen every day. Even so, Ye Luwen still refuses to let Li Siqi go.
Ye Dina kept telling Ye Lvwen that she liked Li Siqi. Ye Lvwen was originally very unhappy, but after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed for some reason.
"Dina, don't you want to marry that boy Li Siqi?" Ye Luwen said lovingly, stroking the top of his daughter's head as she lay in his arms.
"Father, do you agree?" Ye Dina's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she looked up at Ye Luwen excitedly.
"Of course, there is no reason for me to refuse my little princess's request. I will grant you marriage soon. However, that boy is of low status and I'm afraid he is not worthy of your status as a royal consort. How about your father granting him to you as a concubine?" Ye Luwen wanted to use this opportunity to humiliate Li Siqi even in this matter.
But Ye Dina shook her head and said, "Father, I want him to be my consort. I don't like any other man."
Seeing this, Ye Luwen had no choice but to compromise and no longer mentioned the matter of having a lover.
"Okay, then the emperor will grant you the marriage right now, and advance the wedding so that Dina can get married as soon as possible, okay?"
"Of course it's fine, but father, as for the high priest..." Ye Dina thought more about it. The high priest had just died, and if she held a wedding ceremony, it might cause trouble.
"How can a mere high priest stop my daughter?" Ye Luwen raised his eyebrows. It's not like he didn't consider the fact that the high priest had just died, but every time he thought that the high priest couldn't even beat Xu Yingying, he felt very unlucky. How could he possibly care about him?
Soon, the news that Ye Luwen had arranged a marriage for Ye Dina spread throughout Wenwa. Of course, Xu Yingying and the person involved, Li Siqi, also knew about it.
On the day of the arranged marriage, Ye Dina followed Ye Lvwen to visit Li Siqi. At this time, Li Siqi was enduring painful punishment. A whip dipped in salt water was whipping Li Siqi's body again and again. The scars on his body that had just scabbed over were broken open and bleeding because of the whipping.
Ye Dina couldn't bear it. Just when she was about to plead for Li Siqi, she heard Ye Luwen say, "Dina, are you heartbroken?"
Ye Dina bit her lips tightly and nodded, "Father, he will be yours soon anyway, why not exempt him from these punishments?"
But she didn't expect that Ye Luwen just sneered and did not respond to Ye Dina's words. Instead, he signaled the yamen runners to stop, and then walked in front of Li Siqi.
Seeing the whipping stop, Li Siqi breathed a sigh of relief. The wounds on his body were still burning with pain, but he had been here for so long that he seemed to have become numb to it.
Hearing footsteps coming towards him, Li Siqi subconsciously raised his head and opened his eyes to look over, and met Ye Luwen's face.
An undisguised look of disgust and hatred suddenly appeared on Li Siqi's face.
"Ye Luwen, what are you doing here?" Li Siqi's hoarse voice sounded. Although he was seriously injured, his tone was still full of sarcasm.
Ye Luwen ignored Li Siqi's bad words, and just stood in front of him, looking down at him, and said, "How about my previous proposal, what do you think of it?"
Li Siqi swallowed the blood foam in his mouth, looked at Ye Dina behind Ye Luwen, and smiled sarcastically, "Ye Luwen, you'd better give up this idea. The hatred of someone stealing my wife is irreconcilable. There is no way I can marry her." The "she" Li Siqi mentioned was naturally Ye Dina.
Ye Dina was not very far away from Li Siqi, so she naturally heard his words. She stopped dead in her tracks, her face full of hurt.
Seeing Ye Dina like this, Ye Luwen stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Siqi's neck, "Li Siqi, don't be so shameless!"
"Father!" Although Ye Dina knew that Li Siqi disliked her, she still couldn't help but plead for him.
"Someone come, send the princess back!" Ye Luwen shouted loudly without even turning his head.
Ye Dina was quickly taken away from the dungeon, and Ye Luwen no longer had to hide his murderous intent.
"Li Siqi, do you really mean that I dare not kill you? If Dina didn't like you, you would have been cut into pieces by me long ago. I might as well tell you that if you want to get out of here, the only way is to become the princess's husband."
"Ye Luwen, I told you a long time ago that it is impossible for me to be with your daughter. If you don't want your daughter to die in my hands, you'd better take back your promise. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will become of her in the future." Li Siqi's face had gradually turned red, but he was still unwilling to give in.
"Li Siqi, you!" Ye Luwen didn't expect that Li Siqi was still such a stubborn person. The way to survive was right in front of him, but he insisted on seeking death.
"Li Siqi, don't think that I dare not do anything to you. Someone, come and bring the things over!" Ye Luwen thought of the things he had prepared for Li Siqi, loosened his hand that was pinching Li Siqi, and smiled with a look of wild complacency.
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard behind Ye Luwen came over with a bowl of food.
"Give it to him!" Ye Luwen ordered coldly.
The guard did not dare to delay and directly forced it down Li Siqi's throat. Li Siqi had no strength and wanted to resist but was powerless. He could only passively drink the dark stuff that lasted the entire night.
It tasted very bitter in the mouth, like some kind of medicine. After drinking it, the tongue felt numb. Li Siqi coughed twice and looked at Ye Luwen with disgust.
"What did you give me to drink?!" Li Siqi's voice sounded even hoarse.
"Of course it's a good thing, something unique to Wenwa, the Xi chestnut roll, have you heard of it?" Ye Luwen said with a smile.
Li Siqi's face suddenly changed, and he subconsciously wanted to spit out what he had just drunk. However, no matter how hard he pressed his throat, the medicine seemed to have disappeared and he couldn't spit it out.
The chestnut roll is similar to a kind of poison, which is extremely addictive and causes more mental damage than physical damage.
Once infected, unless one has extremely strong willpower, one can only rely on the chestnut roll to survive for the rest of his life. Before Li Siqi and Xu Yingying came to Wenwa this time, they made a special search, but what was unexpected was that Li Siqi was still infected with this thing.
"Don't waste your energy. I just want to see you suffer a fate neither able to live nor to die." After saying that, Ye Luwen flicked his sleeves, turned around and left the prison.
