Xie Yunting sized him up for a good while, the jealousy and hatred in his eyes growing more obvious .
He didn’t have much on his twig legs and his two eyes were just that1 .
How could the little emperor continue to care for him?
He gripped the knife in his hand and couldn’t help but sneer . “‘For what matters?’ Chen Daren is truly a forgetful person . Inciting Zhao Wang’s rebellion, working with the imperial faction to break out of jail, and finally running off with the emperor . Which one do you say is not important?”
Chen Jingzhi lowered his eyes, his reply neither fast nor slow . “Tai Fu is wrongly accusing this small official . This small official was locked in prison . How could he have the ability?”
Xie Yunting also didn’t beat around the bush, and simply threw a pile of letters on the table next to him in the cell .
“This is evidence of Zhao Wang’s correspondence with you, as well as testimonies from Zhao Wang’s confidant . ”
Chen Jingzhi ignored the letters . He looked up at Xie Yunting, the expression in his eyes extremely calm .

“So? Are you planning to kill me, Tai Fu?”
Xie Yunting tossed the knife in his hand into the cell at Chen Jingzhi’s feet .
“I don’t just want to kill you . I want you quartered2, to crush your bones and scatter the ashes . But your dog life is still useful, so I’ll leave you alive . ”
Chen Jingzhi’s face was expressionless, without a trace of emotional turmoil .
Xie Yunting smiled mockingly . “But capital punishment can help you avoid the living hell you will inevitably suffer in the palace . ”
Chen Jingzhi finally couldn’t help but open his mouth . “In the palace?”
Xie Yunting frowned in loathing . “At first I wanted to mutilate your face, but seeing your disgusting face, there’s no worth . Instead, cut off your filthy thing . ”
Chen Jingzhi: “Cut off my filthy thing?”

I have a filthy thing, and you don’t? (EN: this part is hilarious)
Xie Yunting coldly looked at him . “Will you do it yourself, or shall I have you tied up like a pig and castrated in public?”
Chen Jingzhi suddenly sighed . “Does Tai Fu know what he looks like now?”
Xie Yunting looked at him icily and didn’t respond .
But Chen Jingzhi was unaffected . He exclaimed in amazement, “It’s as though jealousy has become your second nature, a vicious little concubine who wants to frame the first wife . It’s unsightly . ”
Xie Yunting’s sore spot was ruthlessly trampled by his words .
Chen Jingzhi was insulting him .
But how could Xie Yunting didn’t know that he was a jealous man?
Jealous that Chen Jingzhi could obtain her love, he was like a dark and vicious devil trying to separate them .

He stood up, kicked open the door of the cell, and grabbed Chen Jingzhi’s collar .
He pulled him up and began to punch him .
Chen Jingzhi’s strength was poor, and he couldn’t resist .
Xie Yunting’s eyes turned red with envy . He kicked Chen Jingzhi once, but feeling it wasn’t enough, kicked him several more times .
Chen Jingzhi curled up on the floor, his face pale . He coughed up a mouthful of blood .
He kept silent and didn’t beg for mercy .
Instead, he laughed . “Xie Yunting, you should see your face . Where does it still look like that spirited and energetic man with the power to overturn the world?”
Xie Yunting snarled: “Shut up . ”
Chen Jingzhi laughed and said sarcastically: “You’re a lunatic . Even if you kill me, do you really think that the emperor will like you?”
Xie Yunting punched him in the stomach again .
He glared at Chen Jingzhi . “I told you to shut up . It seems that you don’t want your tongue?”
Chen Jingzhi’s eyes were full of confidence . Through a mouthful of blood, he challenged, “You don’t dare to kill me . ”
Xie Yunting stiffened . He thought of the little emperor . Yes, if he killed Chen Jingzhi, what else could keep her here?
Chen Jingzhi coldly ridiculed, “Don’t demand things that don’t belong to you, Xie Yunting . You overthrew the emperor, and still hope to obtain the emperor’s affections . Are you stupid?”
1: 也没有多他一条腿还是两只眼。I know he’s expressing dissatisfaction but it’s an odd way to insult someone and say they’re not all that LOL the awkward phrasing made it a bit hard to tease apart what he was saying but I’m like 80% on the meaning .
2: 五马分尸: technically quinting (?); the four limbs and the head are each tied to a horse . The horses are then sent running off in 5 different directions . Because if you’re going to dish out the hurts you better go hard or go home, I guess .
