I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 373 The Last Three Sentences
Dafeng Palace.

When Wei Changtian and Li Wutong were in the Princess Mansion looking at the moon in a daze, when You Jia was walking with Ning Yongnian on the path down the mountain, when Li Si was passing by Bai Youheng in Yuanzhou City. Li Qi also raised his head Moonlight stood alone at the gate of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

After three days of hesitation, he finally stood here.

Maybe Wei Changtian is right.

In addition to being a man, he is also the emperor of Dabong.

Therefore, he must be responsible for the thousands of miles of land laid down by the ancestors of the Li family, and for the tens of thousands of people living on this land.

In the night wind, the white robe embroidered with the five-clawed golden dragon rustled violently with the wind, and then disappeared into the long tunnel of the prison.

"."

"emperor!"

At the end of the tunnel, outside the cell door of Tianzijia No. [-] cell.

Several jailers knelt down on the ground with surprised expressions, as if they didn't understand why Li Qi appeared here without saying a word.

And the latter didn't mean to explain, just waved his hand calmly.

"Open the door."

"Yes!"

Although Wei Changtian had ordered that no one but him be allowed to interrogate Yu Pingjun again, the emperor's order was more important than anything else, so several jailors immediately inserted the key into the keyhole, and then slowly pushed the heavy prison door open forcefully.

"squeak"

The rubbing sound of the metal mechanism was clear and piercing, and the dim light of the fire in the cell faintly illuminated the figure crouching on the stone bed.

"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?"

"Gluck 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.

"Ping Jun, what you and Ding Zhong have done, I have thought about it 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
"The second thing is 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."

"You may have already guessed this matter, and I will not 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 Yu Pingjun had waited for twenty 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. In the past twenty 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.

"Clap."

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 had never been seen in twenty 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.
