Just one short sentence tells the whole story of the hundred years after her death.

Just one sentence destroyed his faith, and he could no longer find peace in his heart. From then on, he lost himself bit by bit and became a person that even he himself found scary.

But he had no way out, just like the first sentence he asked Zhu Jin, "Zhu Jin, do you... hate me?"

Zhu Jin said he was neither sad nor happy, but he never believed it because it was impossible not to hate.

How could he not hate her? How could he not hate her? He felt uneasy, guilty, and wanted to make amends but was powerless. He was powerless in front of Zhu Jin. People often say that great kindness will turn into hatred, let alone such a dispute.

Because of Zhu Jin, he couldn't let it go in his previous life, and he couldn't let it go even more in this life. Moreover, because Lian Zhen existed, he couldn't find peace in his heart day and night. In order not to make himself a laughing stock, he embarked on a strange road of no return, making himself a ridiculous and pathetic existence.

He had been avoiding the favor that he could not repay, and was stuck in a quagmire, unable to extricate himself, until he accidentally discovered the reality that he could risk his life for her.

Under what circumstances would one risk his life for one person?

Regardless of past and present lives, he still loves Zhu Jin and can never forget her in either life.

He saw his own heart clearly, and after a lifetime, he proved that he could also die for Zhu Jin. After a lifetime, he was finally able to say goodbye to Zhu Jin and finally freed himself.

Everything would have been fine up to this point, but things in the world are not like that.

Helian Zhen got into trouble and had a miscarriage, but Zhu Jin watched her die without saving her. No matter what the reason was, he couldn't get over it, so he hated Zhu Jin so much.

"If I knew you would become like this, I...I would rather not have met you, would rather it was me who died, would rather it was me who wandered for a hundred years..."

"Isn't it just dying for you, or wandering for a hundred years? Rather than doubting my own life with guilt, suffering from two lifetimes of unrest and pain, and rather than losing my unborn flesh and blood, Zhu Jin, I would rather die, rather wander for a hundred years, in exchange for not knowing you!"

"Today I realized how ridiculous I am. I actually felt guilty towards you and could never let it go in my two lifetimes... Zhu Jin, from now on, I will take back all my guilt towards you! I won't hate you, but I will never be grateful to you again! Everything between us is wiped out from now on!"

Zhu Jin, I would rather die, I would rather wander for a hundred years, in exchange for not knowing you! Zhu Jin, I would rather die, I would rather wander for a hundred years...

Along with the heart-wrenching pain, the past between him and Zhu Jin was reflected, bit by bit. Many things that had been blurred by time were now extremely clear. Everything Zhu Jin had said, every word and sentence replayed in his mind extremely clearly.

He heard himself say, Zhu Jin, I would rather die than wander for a hundred years.

So, is he dead? Is he dead?

No, no, he is not dead, how could he be dead, how could a dead person feel pain!

Shang Lu stared at himself on the hospital bed, then collapsed to the ground while stroking his chest. He curled up unconsciously because of the pain, but no matter how he curled up, he could not relieve the pain.

Shang Lu couldn't hold back his tears because of the pain, and couldn't help sobbing and screaming. In the quiet ward where only Helian Zhen was sobbing softly, Shang Lu's voice was obviously louder, but Helian Zhen seemed to hear nothing.

Shang Lu finally felt something was wrong and couldn't help but shouting "Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen..." His voice became louder and louder, but Helian Zhen was still unaware. Shang Lu was horrified and struggled to crawl over to pull Helian Zhen, but his hand went straight through Helian Zhen's leg.

His hand went straight through Helian Zhen's leg...through it...

Shang Lu didn't believe it, and tried to grab it again and again, but it passed through every time...

"Ah!" Shang Lu looked at his hands in horror and screamed.

The screams echoed in the ward, making people feel creepy, but only Shang Lu could hear it.

Shang Lu's mind went blank, and the only thing left in his mind was the words Zhu Jin had once said to him.

"Shanglu, do you remember what I said? God is watching what you do. I hope you will always remember what you said..."

God is watching what you do.

Zhu Jin, I would rather die than wander for a hundred years...

Shang Lu stared at himself lying on the bed, then looked at Helian Zhen beside him, and let himself be overwhelmed by the terrible thoughts that emerged in his mind.

He died, he died for Helian Zhen, he finally did what he said, thought and wished - he died.

At the same time, Helian Lan arrived at the district hospital and saw the unconscious Zhu Jin.

Prison guard Qiu and others knew about everything between Zhu Jin and the royal family, and between Zhu Jin and Prince Sumu, but it was impossible for them to stop contacting each other. After the hospital made it clear that they could not wake Zhu Jin up for the time being, the warden personally contacted Helian Lan and explained the situation.

Helian Lan came as soon as possible, and like everyone else, he couldn't help but call out to Zhu Jin. Like everyone else, he failed to wake Zhu Jin up. Helian Lan stroked Zhu Jin's cheek with trembling hands, and finally couldn't help shedding tears.

“…How could this happen? Why would he be unconscious…”

Ever since she ascended the throne and became queen, no matter how much she had been through, her life had always been happy, until Nan Nan had an accident two years ago, and since then, her previous life has never returned.

The two daughters she raised with so much effort, one lost her memory and the other slowly turned into a devil.

She had thought countless times whether she would not have reached this point if Helian Zhen had not been allowed to succeed the princess. She might have thought about this if in the past, but today, after finally seeing Helian Zhen's true face, she no longer thought about that if. Because no matter how many ifs there were, no matter how many possibilities there were, in the end, she would still become a devil.

Such a person must not be allowed to stay in the royal family, let alone continue to be a princess and then succeed to the throne to become queen. Therefore, after knowing Helian Zhen's true face, she chose to depose Helian Zhen from the position of princess.

However, what was supposed to be a simple task for a queen has not been accomplished until now.

First, Shang Lu got into an accident and fell into a coma, and the media reported it extensively. When she gritted her teeth and decided to continue, the support from the government changed overnight. Although she was not yet the prime minister, the Li family, who had already begun to exercise the power of the prime minister, still supported any decision she made, but the meaning of the support had changed.

They supported her in abolishing the princess's throne, but their words implied that if it was abolished, there was no need to establish a new one. The Helian royal family had been acting in a far-fetched way in recent years. Because there was no good heir, it was entirely possible that the Helian royal family would disappear from her.

Since they established the Helian royal family with the support of the government, the Li family can also slowly work together to create another royal family.

It sounds incredible, but it is true. After making inquiries from many sources, the queen finally heard another meaning deliberately revealed by the Li family. If they want the Helian royal family to continue, no matter how unqualified Princess Helian Zhen is, or how disappointing her performance is, Helian Zhen can only continue to be the princess.

Helian Lan had no idea why Helian Zhen received such support from the Li family.

In just a few days, since Lian Chang suddenly launched the attack, Helian Lan suddenly discovered a horrible fact.

A reality she was suddenly powerless to change.

What she was going to do was completely unforeseeable before, but when she was about to depose Princess Helian Zhen, she found that she was powerless, whether from within the royal family, the media, or the government.

She was sidelined without realizing it, from the initial untimely news to the complete outbreak now.

Helian Lan thought about the reality she had experienced in just over half a day, and looked at the unconscious Zhu Jin. She could no longer hold back her tears.

"Suddenly falling unconscious...it must be her doing again, it must be her...how could she become so scary..."

Helian Lan instantly identified the murderer, and she was naturally referring to Helian Zhen.

Helian Lan cried too fast, and Shi Shangbai, Luo Le and others who didn't have time to leave heard it all. Their eyes flashed at the same time, and Shi Shangbai couldn't help but look at Ye Banxia.

He thought of Ophiopogon japonicus.

Ishigami Bai restrained himself from looking away, thinking in his heart that this was the person Zhu Jin trusted.

Several people stepped back and left the room. Fuling couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Dr. Zhu Jin's sudden fainting was really caused by someone?"

Ye Banxia's face changed, his lips moved, he lowered his head and said nothing, but his clenched fists were shaking.

Several people had different expressions, only Basil frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively, "I think Master's condition should not be caused by external factors. The hospital's examination is very complete. Since they said there is no reason that can cause Master to be in a coma, it must not be a physical reason."

"If it's not a physical reason, then what else could it be?" Prison guard Qiu asked first.

"If it's not due to the body, then it must be... the soul." Basil gritted his teeth and said, "The soul is the spirit. Master once received a strange patient who suddenly fell into a coma one day. There was nothing wrong with his body, but he just wouldn't wake up. Three years had passed and the hospital had declared him a vegetable. His family members refused to give up and finally came to Master, who cured him."

"I should say, I woke him up." Basil ignored their strange looks and continued with a somewhat embarrassed look, "Master said that there are only two reasons for a person to be in a coma. One is physical. If the body is fine, then it is the soul. It could be an accident or it could be the person's will. The soul is not in the body, so the person cannot wake up. As long as the soul returns to its place, the person will wake up."

"Are you talking about the guy who was on TV and said that he was inexplicably cured by Dr. Zhu Jin, and when he woke up he suddenly knew an alien language he had never learned before?" Ishigami Bai asked immediately.

"Yes, it's him!" Basil nodded hurriedly.

"Do people really have souls and spirits?" Fuling murmured, expressing the thoughts of everyone present.
