Chapter 438 Atonement and Escape

On the afternoon of the next day when Cao Pi confessed everything to Cao Ang, Princess Wannian returned to their small yard and found Xiahou Lian hanging himself on the beam.

During these days, Xiahou Lian has been living in the Cao family, and Princess Wannian has a good relationship with her.

Suddenly seeing this scene, Princess Wannian hurriedly called the people at home.

However, it was too late for people to come. Xiahou Lian completely cut off his breath, and Princess Wannian was very lonely.

"I am the one who should die." She thought to herself.

However, she did not have the same courage as Xiahou Lian, and laughed mockingly, and asked someone to send Xiahou Lian's body back to Xiahou's house. As for what happened later, she didn't want to pay attention to it anymore.

At night, late at night.

After everyone fell asleep, Princess Wannian came to the room where Cao Ang was locked up.

Cao Ang’s current condition is no different from yesterday. He twitched all over and looked like a madman, and he couldn’t even sleep peacefully.

In just one or two days, Cao Ang became extremely thin, with almost only a layer of skin left, wrapped in bones.

That kind of medicine powder is really powerful.

"Husband!" said Princess Wannian.

"What are you doing? Are you laughing at me? Get out of here!" Cao Ang's voice was still hoarse.

"Liang'er, dead!" said Princess Wannian.

boom!

Cao Ang was stunned when he was struck by lightning, as if his world collapsed in an instant.

His love for Xiahou Lian was definitely from the bottom of his heart and he did not make any fraud.

Even if that happened, his heart was unwavering.

The news of Xiahou Lian's death seemed to him that life had no meaning.

"How did Lian'er die? Did Cao Pi kill him? I'll kill him now!"

Then, Cao Ang shouted angrily, getting up and going out, but he was weak.

"suicide!"

Princess Wannian lamented: "Liang'er also knows the truth. She can't accept the facts when she learns that you have become like this, husband."

"Lian'er!"

Cao Ang has never cried these days, no matter how painful it is, he is exceptional tonight.

Princess Wannian said again: "Husband, I will take you out of here."

"I've already done this. Is it useful to leave?" Cao Ang smiled bitterly.

"It's useful to go find Chen Yang."

Princess Wannian said: "As long as you can overcome that kind of pain and start over, just find Chen Yang and let him help you take back everything you have lost, he has the ability to do it."

In their hearts, there is nothing that Chen Yang cannot do, and he is almost omnipotent.

Cao Ang also thought that going to find Chen Yang might be his only way out, but he smiled bitterly: "Will I treat him like that and still help me? He wished he could kill me."

"If you don't try it, how can you know what the result is?"

Princess Wannian continued, "My husband, can you be depressed for the rest of your life, neither human nor ghost, and finally watch Cao Pi take away everything that originally belonged to you? Even Mrs. Ding may be bullied by him?"

Cao Ang clenched his fists with both hands, and his heart struggled sharply. He was afraid of the consequences and also afraid of losing.

"As long as your husband is willing to ask Chen Yang, he will not sit idly by with your relationship. If Cao Pi drove the Huns away, he will definitely not let Lujiang go, so he will be willing to resist with his husband." Princess Wannian continued to persuade.

After a long time, Cao Ang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe, you are right!"

He wants to take it back, all this!

"How can I leave?" Cao Ang asked.

"Husband, don't worry, I'll prepare everything for you." Princess Wannian said.

She was indeed ready for everything, and took advantage of the night to disguise Cao Ang as an ordinary servant and take him out of Cao's mansion.

Cao Ang could barely walk, but it was difficult to walk and could only be supported by Princess Wannian.

I just walked outside and encountered a patrol soldier. There was a curfew in this era and it was not allowed to go out at night.

Princess Wannian revealed their Cao family's token, and the soldiers did not dare to stop them.

They walked all the way to the vicinity of the imperial city, where several eunuchs had already arrived, waiting for them.

"Eunuch Li, I'm in trouble." Princess Wannian said.

Eunuch Li is also an old man from the Han Dynasty. He used to be responsible for serving Princess Wannian's daily life.

With her marriage, Eunuch Li was also idle and could only do some hard work, such as pulling the garbage from the palace outside the city to throw it away.

Although the palace is now under the control of the Cao family and Eunuch Li has been bribed, he is still sincerely good to Princess Wannian.

"Husband, hide in it." Princess Wannian said again.

There were several carriages around him, with smelly garbage inside. Princess Wannian hid it directly inside without hesitation.

Cao Ang refused at first, but saw that Princess Wannian could do this, what is the difference between herself and the garbage in front of her?

He smiled bitterly and finally hid in.

Until dawn, Eunuch Li transported the garbage outside the city. Because it was all broken and smelly, no soldiers would check it out, and the two of them went outside smoothly.

They were in a mess after coming out of the garbage.

After leaving Eunuch Li, Cao Ang continued his journey with the help of Princess Wannian.

They had been away from Xu Du, and Cao Ang couldn't walk, so they took a break.

"I have a doubt, why do you want to help me?" Cao Ang asked in confusion.

"I want to atone for the wrong things I have done myself."

Princess Wannian's eyes were complicated and she said, "I can only accompany you here, and I have to go back too. If they can't find you or see me, they might do something to Mrs. Ding."

Cao Ang did not insist that she continue to walk with him, because he should have walked the road by himself. He nodded and said, "You can take good care of my mother when I come back, and... I have forgiven you for your affairs."

Princess Wannian smiled knowingly. At this moment, she felt relieved.

"You keep going, go to Lujiang, and don't look back before finding Chen Yang, otherwise all hope will no longer exist." Princess Wannian said again.

Cao Ang had almost enough rest and continued on his way.

He became increasingly dissatisfied with his body. After walking for a while, the pain broke out again and it turned out to be dependent on that kind of medicine powder.

"I can quit or forget, I can definitely!" Cao Ang's teeth were bleeding. He broke a branch and tugged it hard on his leg.

I hope I can borrow pain to make him forget his pain.

I have to say that this seems to have some effect, which is to waste your thighs.

After Princess Wannian and Cao Ang separated, she did not return to Xu Du, so she found a tree that was not too tall. After several hard work, she tied a hemp rope to the tree.

"How can someone like me be worthy of your forgiveness?"

Princess Wannian brought another small stone and placed it on a few small stones.

She was so excited that death was not that scary.

When she saw Xiahou Lian die, she hesitated and worried, thinking clearly about her own experience, and she knew that only death was the best atonement.

In fact, it was also her escape.

She stepped on the big rock, stretched her head into the rope, and murmured: "I hope it won't be too painful when I die."

Then she exerted force under her feet and the stone fell, and she still screamed in pain.

Like Xiahou Lian, she committed suicide on the rope.
