Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Severing the Bad Fate of Two Lives
After Yin Jingheng ascended the throne, he renovated the General's Mansion and used it as a branch of his palace. He also confiscated Prince Yin's Mansion and gave it back to Prince Muchi of the Northern Desert.
As the new regent, Muchigeli chose an auspicious day to host a banquet for all officials in his own residence.
It happened that His Majesty was free that day, and he wanted to bring the Queen to the Regent's Palace to offer congratulations, but the Queen was not feeling well and might not be able to go with them, so His Majesty only brought a female official as an attendant and the gifts to the Regent's Palace.
At the banquet, Yin Jingheng mentioned that he wanted to find a princess from the Central Plains for Prince Mu Chi and asked him if he had any favorite candidate.
Mu Chigeli's eyes would occasionally glance at the female official Na Zhu beside His Majesty, and he frankly said that this woman had a graceful figure, bright eyes and eyebrows, and her every move was quite exotic. She had a graceful and elegant style that was different from the women of their Northern Desert. He admired her very much, and his every word and sentence implied his affection for Na Zhu.
Yin Jingheng was willing to do this to help others achieve their goal. After drinking a glass of wine, he slammed the table and pointed the spider at Mu Chigeli.
Prince Mu Chi said bluntly, "I don't do things that force people. I wonder if Miss Spider is interested?"
The spider's face was full of reluctance, but due to the inappropriate occasion, he didn't dare to say it directly.
When Yin Jingheng asked her directly if she was willing, she hesitated for a moment before replying, "The spider has no interest in romantic relationships. I simply wish to follow Your Majesty for life and help him achieve great things."
"My great cause does not require you, but I do need the help of the Regent and the Northern Desert Barbarians. If you refuse, I will not force you, but I do not need useless people around me. You should pack your bags and return to your Miao village tomorrow!"
The spider knelt and begged Yin Jingheng not to drive her away: "Master, this spider is in love with you and has chosen you. Although I dare not beg for a title, I only hope that Master will not drive this spider away. Even if it means letting me stay by your side as a humble little palace maid, it will be fine!"
"I admit I am inferior to Your Majesty, so Miss Spider would rather be Your Majesty's maid than my princess. So, please pretend I never mentioned this matter and don't let it damage our friendship. Come! Let's continue drinking!"
Prince Mu Chi had an awkward smile and a bitter tone in his words. He could only use alcohol to hide his embarrassment and dissatisfaction.
That night, Yin Jingheng drank a little too much and found everything about the spider unpleasant. He bluntly gave her two choices: either marry the prince or pack up and leave!
"Don't mention your feelings to me anymore. I don't care! From the beginning, you were just a tool to me. I advise you to consider your own status and not to dream of unrealistic feelings or people who don't belong to you. In my heart, only the Queen is..."
He stumbled all the way to the queen's bedroom, and the spider followed him and supported him all the way.
"Your Majesty, you are drunk. It's so late, and the Queen has already gone to bed. Would you like to go back to Qiankun Palace to rest?"
"Let go! Don't dirty my dragon robe!"
Yin Jingheng kicked the spider in the abdomen. The spider knelt on the ground in pain, holding her stomach, and her parasite was dripping with blood.
He strode into Kunning Palace with great speed, shouting, "Ayu, I'm back. I'm your Ajiang. I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much."
Yin Jingheng ignored the palace maids' obstruction and insisted on breaking into the Queen's bedroom in Kunning Palace.
Hanyu was sitting in front of the mirror, washing and dressing. Seeing him barge into her room drunkenly, she scolded him, "Your Majesty, if you're drunk, don't come looking for me." Yin Jingheng thought she was just saying some flirtatious words, so after dismissing everyone else, he hugged Hanyu from behind and whispered in her ear, "It's been several months since you were crowned empress. I gave you time and promised not to force you, but you've kept me waiting for too long. I no longer have the patience. I must have you tonight!"
He seemed to have gone mad, madly plundering everything that belonged to him, including her body and her heart, but he could not bear to see Hanyu's heartbroken expression.
He forced Hanyu to look at him and demanded, "Did you secretly go to the prison to see him again?"
Hanyu didn't answer, but just closed her eyes and let him tear her pajamas into pieces.
He saw that the spider mark on Hanyu's chest was getting redder and redder, and he could see the poisonous insect wriggling under her chest.
"Is your love poison activated again? Are you still thinking about him? I don't allow you to think about him! No matter in the past life or this life, you can only be mine!"
"My people are in your hands. Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied?"
The more indifferent and cold she acted, the angrier he became. He picked up Hanyu and put her on the bed. When he was about to kiss her, Hanyu suddenly took out a black spider from the spider mark on her chest and quickly put it into his mouth.
Before Yin Jingheng could react, the spider crawled into his throat, entered his blood through his neck, and invaded his body, reaching his heart.
He covered his throat with a look of discomfort and disbelief. "You put a curse on me? But isn't there only one spider in your body?"
"Didn't the spider tell you? My blood can also give birth to the offspring of the love insect. Now that my insect has invaded your heart, I can control it and let you experience the heart-wrenching pain!"
As soon as Hanyu finished speaking, she summoned the sparrow bird that originally obeyed the spider's orders. She lowered her head and whispered a few words to the sparrow bird on her shoulder, and suddenly the poisonous insect in Yin Jingheng's body began to move abnormally.
It swam in his heart like a burning fireball. The insect did not like alcohol. After the host drank alcohol, it would aggravate the heart-eating pain of the heart-eating insect, making the host suffer from excruciating pain.
Yin Jingheng tossed and turned on the bed, clutching his chest, staring fiercely at Hanyu, demanding her word by word: "Quick! Take it out! Or! I! Will! You! Die!"
Han Yu continued to activate the Heart-Eating Gu, smiling wickedly, "Don't! You haven't experienced the highest level of the Heart-Eating Gu yet? That's the heart-wrenching pain of losing your loved ones!"
The cry of the sparrow-bone bird startled the spider outside the palace. The spider had an ominous premonition in its heart, so it broke into Kunning Palace without permission and happened to see the scene of Hanyu activating the love Gu.
Seeing Yin Jingheng in agony, she wanted to take the bird back from Hanyu, but the bird refused to obey her orders and flew towards her and attacked her at Hanyu's command.
How could this happen? How could a mere Snow Mountain girl be able to control a bird?
The spider was pecked on the face by the bird bones, and the wounds on both cheeks were blurred. She didn't care about the wounds on her face, but rushed forward and hugged Yin Jingheng tightly who was struggling in pain, to prevent him from committing self-harm because he couldn't bear the heart-wrenching pain.
"What a deep love! Spider, I didn't mean to hurt you, but it's a pity you fell in love with the wrong person, and you shouldn't have aided and abetted this evil! Tonight, I will repay you for the harm you've done to my father!"
"You crazy woman! When the Heart-Eating Gu's poison takes effect, the host carrying the mother Gu will also have to endure the pain of the heart-eating Gu. You dare to make him suffer so much that he wishes he were dead, and you won't be able to escape unscathed!"
In fact, when the love poison takes effect, Hanyu will feel a piercing pain in her chest, but compared with the pain of losing her loved ones, what is this pain?
What's more, she could also empathize with the physical and mental pain that Yin Jinglong suffered when he was tortured day and night in the prison, and over time she got used to it.
But for those who try it for the first time, the pain is not something that ordinary people can endure. Even if he is a mighty general with great military achievements, even if he has a strong physique, he still cannot withstand the poison of this little spider.
After Yin Jingheng went to the palace today, Hanyu went to the Heavenly Prison and met Yin Jinglong.
He had been tortured into a trance and covered in wounds, so much so that when Han Yu saw him, she didn't recognize that this was the once arrogant and domineering regent.
Yin Jinglong saw the familiar figure in a daze. He opened his mouth to call her "Ayu", but then he remembered that she was now the empress of the new emperor. If he called her the wrong name, he was afraid that it would bring disaster to her.
"How can the Queen still have the leisure to visit a useless person like me?"
"Can you hold on any longer?"
"What do you mean, Madam? I, a fool, cannot understand what you mean."
Hanyu avoided the maid beside her, approached him, and whispered to him in a calm tone, "I will kill him tonight."
Yin Jinglong's dull eyes lit up again, and he looked at Hanyu in disbelief, obviously not believing that she had the ability to kill the emperor on her own.
"How are you going to kill him? I won't let you take any risks! I won't let anything happen to you!"
"Don't worry. If I weren't absolutely sure, I wouldn't risk our lives."
She told Yin Jinglong that she had devoted herself to refining the Gu during these days, and now the Gu worms in her body had submitted to her and were completely under her control, so it was no longer difficult to induce the Gu worms to give birth.
She wanted to control Yin Jingheng by poisoning him, and then assassinate him when he was suffering from the heart-wrenching pain, weak and unable to respond.
Yin Jinglong stopped her: "No! If the poison takes effect, you will still suffer the heart-wrenching pain. I can't bear to see you suffer!"
"Compared to the pain you've personally endured, this little suffering is nothing. I only hate myself for being so foolish. It wasn't until this life that I saw who my enemy was. I loved the wrong person in my previous life, and I can't make the same mistake again in this life."
Her jade-like hand gently stroked his weathered face. She stood on tiptoe, kissed his forehead, and told him: "Tonight is the day I will end my relationship with him. If you bear with me for a while, I will definitely rescue you!"
During the time when Yin Jingheng was out of the palace, she sat alone in Kunning Palace. She could not sleep at all until late at night. She picked up a bone comb and put on her makeup in front of the mirror.
The maid asked, "His Majesty has not returned to the palace tonight. Your Majesty, are you still waiting for him? Let me help you wash and change your clothes first!"
Hanyu asked her to go out. She would not allow anyone to touch her body because this was the time when she was brewing the love poison. If anyone disturbed her, it would disturb her heartstrings and cause the love poison to not take effect as expected.
After the maid left, she took off the heavy bun and hairpins on her head, changed into light nightgown, and combed her waist-length black hair over and over again with a bone comb. The face in the mirror was cold and resolute, without any joy, anger, sorrow or happiness.
Until she heard Yin Jingheng's wolf howl coming from outside the hall. He called her "Ayu" in a low voice, but to her, every word was particularly harsh.
He said that he was still the A Jiang whom he loved deeply, the A Jiang who had been with her day and night for the past three years and kept her in his heart. Every word of love became a joke at this moment and was totally unbelievable.
Because she understood that A Jiang in his previous life had never lost his memory. From the moment he stepped into the snow-capped mountains, he had approached her with a purpose.
He had lied to her for three years, deceived her feelings in two lifetimes, and slaughtered her people in both lifetimes. Tonight, it was time to put an end to this evil relationship that should not continue.
