Although You Zhengqing is a member of the Fifth Prince's faction, he has risen through the ranks in the officialdom over the years and is gradually breaking away from the Fifth Prince's control.
As a ruler, the Fifth Prince was certainly not happy to see this situation.
At this moment, the Fifth Prince naturally wouldn't refuse the advances of You Zhengqing's beloved.
He just didn't know that.
Every day he would add a slow-acting drug to his porridge that would make him infertile.
She wanted to torture the Fifth Prince and You Zhengqing to death, bit by bit.
The only variable was probably that kidnapping.
From the moment Miss Li appeared, she sensed something was wrong. At first, she thought that the person who kidnapped her was someone Miss Li had sent.
But that time in the mountains, through Miss Li's eyes, Fu Shanyue suddenly understood.
This Miss Li, whose origins are unknown, may share the same grief as her, and the person who kidnapped her must be someone else.
Otherwise, given Miss Li's personality, if she wanted to kill or torture her, she would never have shown herself.
Fu Shanyue hadn't expected this.
You Zhengqing actually came to save her, and even when faced with ferocious beasts in the mountains, he did not back down and resolutely protected her behind him.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
How ridiculous.
Since the massacre of her family, she has witnessed the warmth of cold-hearted people, and the one who treated her best was actually her enemy.
Fu Shanyue had thought about it sometimes.
If only it hadn't been You Zhengqing who wiped out her family back then.
Unfortunately, everything cannot be undone; they were all powerless to change their fate.
She thought You Zhengqing loved her, but power still came first. However, when the Fifth Prince insulted her...
You Zhengqing killed the Fifth Prince without hesitation. At that moment, it would be a lie to say that Fu Shanyue was not moved.
But she still chose to kill You Zhengqing.
When he gave everything for her, she ruthlessly crushed his hopes.
Perhaps You Zhengqing really loved her, but so what? The damage has already been done, and there's no going back for either of them.
Later, she tried to commit suicide, but was stopped by Miss Li. When she was about to faint, she seemed to see You Zhengqing's anxious face.
She's probably gone mad.
She could feel the dagger piercing You Zhengqing's heart, and her heart seemed to die along with it in an instant.
You Zhengqing, the candied hawthorns you make are actually quite delicious.
But she could never have it a second time.
Later, she discovered that she was not dead, and all her deceased relatives had returned to her side.
It was as if the massacre of the entire family had never happened.
Their family got back on track and lived a happy life.
Her father and mother found her a husband.
Her husband was a gentle and refined scholar.
He treated her with the utmost respect.
On her wedding night, Fu Shanyue wore a veil over her head, but her heart felt as if a piece of it was empty.
In a daze, she seemed to have forgotten something important.
But time seemed to stand still when her husband complained about her veil.
A strange man suddenly appeared in their new house.
"Who are you!" Fu Shanyue exclaimed in horror as she discovered that her husband was also unable to move.
Shi Qianxuan curled his lips and suddenly grabbed Fu Shanyue's neck with a spell: "Miss Fu, don't panic. I just want to take you to see an old friend."
“An old friend.” Fu Shanyue found this strange man really odd; she didn’t have any old friends.
But she never expected that the people who kidnapped her would take her to hell.
Hell is filled with wailing.
A man was hanging on a bamboo platform, and two ghost messengers were slicing off his flesh piece by piece.
But he didn't say a word.
Fu Shanyue couldn't stop her tears from flowing down her face.
Immediately, a series of unfamiliar yet familiar memories flooded her mind.
"You Zhengqing." She called his name, but You Zhengqing seemed like a puppet, only glancing at her before looking away as if she were a stranger.
Shi Qianxuan sneered, "Miss Fu, you probably don't know that You Zhengqing, that fool, actually chose to kill himself in order to change the fate of your Fu family being wiped out."
"How could he be so stupid?" Fu Shanyue was in tears. No one knew better than her how selfish You Zhengqing was.
"How did he become like this?" Fu Shanyue asked, her eyes brimming with tears. She turned around and knelt down in front of Shi Qianxuan.
"Grand Preceptor, is it because You Zhengqing has committed too many sins? I, I can, I can help him accumulate merit and do good deeds, donate incense money to temples, build bridges and roads, distribute porridge, and so on."
"I just beg you to help me think of a way to make his life in the local area a little better, so that he doesn't have to suffer like this."
Shi Qianxuan laughed: "Fu Shanyue, do you still think that You Zhengqing ended up in the eighteenth level of hell because of the many bad things he did?"
"No, this is the price he paid for killing his past self. It's not just that; he will suffer hundreds of years of torture in the eighteen levels of hell."
"Even if you are reincarnated, you will never have the chance to be a human again; you can only be reborn as an animal."
After listening to Shi Qianxuan's words, Fu Shanyue remained silent for a moment, and when she looked up again, her eyes were full of determination.
"Grand Preceptor, tell me, what can I offer in exchange for sparing You Zhengqing from further torment?"
