After he had left, Sulu Lianshan had waited every day for Tuoba Fei to come to see him.
He couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly as he recalled the sinister plan that Zhong Ao Shuang had up his sleeve: "Zhong Ao Shuang, this plan is indeed vicious. With such painstaking effort, you managed to come up with such a sinister plan, is it all for the sake of me, or for the sake of great karma, or is it just for Chan Juan?"
Tuoba Fei pondered for a long time. He wasn't afraid of Zhong Ao Shuang slashing him across the face, nor was he afraid that Zhong Ao Shuang would betray him, because Zhong Ao Shuang was in the middle of a big moon. In his palm, he only needed to shake hands and Zhong Ao Shuang would turn into mincemeat.
"Zhong Ao Shuang, I hope it's as you said. I don't have any feelings for you, otherwise …"
A strong killing intent rose from Tuoba Fei's body. He closed his eyes to rest for a short while before taking his lunch.
"Men, please come here alone."
"Yes."
"Prince Xian of the Left, please meet again."
Sulu Lianshan was wandering around the palace when he suddenly heard footsteps, followed by a voice that made him wild with joy.
"Alright, alright. I'll go see Brother Wang right away."
This was the first time he had been out of his bedroom for over half a year. The Wang Ting, the Hall of Heaven's Children, was shining with the splendor of gold and jade under the afternoon sun. He had not been to that place for a long time.
Before the throne could even warm up, he was imprisoned in Wang Ting's chamber. No one was allowed to enter or leave, and he could only wander around the chamber day and night in rage, drunk to the core.
"I swear, I don't want to be a prisoner anymore, I don't want to live like that ever again!"
Sulu Lianshan clenched his fists. No matter what, no matter how humble and submissive he was in front of Tuoba Fei, he had to end his imprisonment. He didn't want to live another day like this.
"Reporting to Your Highness, I've come alone."
Solu Lianshan strode into the study. Tuoba Fei slightly closed his eyes and continued to sit on the chair in the middle with his back leaning against the chair. He didn't even open his eyes.
Solu Lianshan lowered his head and quickly walked in front of Tuoba Fei. He lifted up his clothes and kneeled at Tuoba Fei's feet, "Brother Wang, Solu Lianshan requests for forgiveness from Brother Wang. I apologize."
"Bang bang …"
A heavy kowtowing sound reverberated loudly in the royal study. Solu Lianshan's forehead touched the icy cold ground.
The floor of the imperial study was paved with snow-white white jade. With every kowtow of his head, his forehead would turn purple.
"How could this subject accept such a great gift?"
Tuoba Fei spoke with an indifferent tone and a faint smile moved at the corner of his mouth. He opened his eyes slightly and said something, but he did not reach out to support Sulu Lianshan.
"Brother Wang, this is all my fault. Please forgive me, Brother Wang. In the future, I will obey Brother Wang's orders. I hope Brother Wang can be merciful."
Sulu Lianshan was truly fearful now. In front of Tuoba Fei, he no longer dared to show even the slightest bit of arrogance or pride. He only hoped that Tuoba Fei could let him go and let him go.
He reached out and grabbed Tuoba Fei's feet, his forehead touching the ground as he crawled up to Tuoba Fei's feet and said with a trembling voice, "Brother Wang, how are you going to punish me? I don't have any complaints, I only ask that Brother Wang calm his anger and plead that Brother Wang be lenient. I don't dare to disobey anymore, please forgive me, Brother Wang, give me a chance."
After a long while, in the imperial study, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of Sulu Lianshan kowtowing.
Tuoba Fei only indifferently closed his eyes and didn't reply to Sulu Lianshan's mournful pleas.
After a long while, the snow-white ground was covered with dark red spots. However, Sulu Lianshan did not dare to stop. The pain in his forehead was nothing compared to being imprisoned for half a year.
After half a year, he could only ask to see Tuoba Fei once. He understood that he could not let go of this opportunity.
"Brother Wang, please show mercy and give me one more chance. I won't dare to disobey Brother Wang's orders again. I won't dare to do anything rash. If I make another mistake, I'm willing to die under Brother Wang's sword."
Sulu Lianshan cried as he raised his head to look at Tuoba Fei, "Brother Wang, please forgive me for my many years of following you, Brother Wang. I have never dared to disobey you, Brother Wang, and have always been respectful and submissive to you."
He lowered his head. His heart was filled with despair and fear. Right now, he was not only free to be in Tuoba Fei's hands, even his life was in Tuoba Fei's hands.
Tuoba Fei was able to control him and kill him as well. At this point, he finally started to feel fear.
He kowtowed deeply, touching Tuoba Fei's toes with his forehead as he sobbed softly. He was regretful that he should not have felt so good for a moment and forced Princess Jieyu to her death. She was just a weak woman. He had plenty of women, so why did he have to make things so difficult for her?
Touching the tip of the other party's foot with his forehead was a great gift from the Western Regions. It showed absolute respect towards the master, and normally, only surrender slaves or servants would use such a great gift on the master.
But now, Sulu Lianshan couldn't care less about his status. He used such a huge courtesy to express his absolute obedience to Tuoba Fei.
As long as he could beg Tuoba Fei to forgive him and let him go, he didn't mind using such a petty and low attitude to beg. There was only him and Tuoba Fei in the imperial study, so there was no need to worry about losing face.
"Do you really know your wrongs?"
"It's Brother Wang. I know I was wrong."
In front of Tuoba Fei, he no longer dared to call himself 'I'. Tuoba Fei was older, and he and Tuoba Fei had become sworn brothers. Therefore, he called himself 'little brother'.
"Sigh …"
Tuoba Fei heaved a long sigh. "This subject is indebted to the heavens for treating this subject as a son. I didn't want to choose you to succeed the throne not long ago, so I caused many things to happen. If you continue to mess around like this, how am I supposed to meet Solitary Heaven in the future? "
"Yes, little brother knows his mistake. I will not dare to mess around anymore. I will follow Brother Wang's orders and not make the slightest mistake."
"In that case, I'll give you one more chance, the only chance!"
Solu Lianshan was stunned for a moment before he raised his head in pleasant surprise. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Brother Wang, thank you for your grace."
He kowtowed again and kowtowed a few times.
"Lone Yu, since you're from the Great Moon Sect, you've lost your identity. Stand up."
"Brother Wang, in front of Brother Wang, I'm just a little brother's little brother."
Sulu Lianshan carefully lifted his head. However, he did not dare to immediately stand up when he saw Tuoba Fei. "Brother Wang, can it be that I can regain my freedom from now on?"
"Tomorrow alone will restore morning, and tomorrow alone will be the best time to inform this official of what you want to do."
"Yes, little brother understands. I will follow Brother Wang's orders."
"Servants, come and take a bath and change your clothes. I will take my leave now."
Tuoba Fei stood up and cast a meaningful look at Sulu Lianshan. Sulu Lianshan hurriedly opened the door for Tuoba Fei himself and sent him off.
