When Zhaoyang and Yisheng reunited, Bai had just returned to the Li residence from outside.
When she saw the two of them being all lovey-dovey in front of the mansion gate, she slowed her pace.
She had secretly witnessed this scene countless times when she was in the capital.
I never expected it to happen again.
She didn't know how Zhaoyang had found her way here, but reason told her that she should leave quickly.
But his legs felt like they were nailed to the ground, and he couldn't lift them at all.
She watched them talk, hug, and cling to each other.
It's like watching a puppet show.
Even though Yi Sheng's memory had been erased, he still couldn't forget that woman and recognized her as soon as he saw her.
She pursued this passionate love her whole life, but it all came to nothing.
Compared to her, that woman was simply God's favorite.
Why is it that the person she pursued so desperately got her without lifting a finger?
This is not fair at all.
Bai was filled with rage and wanted to rush up and kill Yi Sheng.
What she can't have, no one else can have either.
But before she could take a step, she saw an arrow appear in the distance, its arrowhead aimed directly at the two men.
The arrowhead was white, and Bai could tell at a glance that it was coated with the sap of the antidote that kills with blood.
The antihistamine is the most poisonous plant in Nandan. Its sap, once it comes into contact with a wound, can cause cardiac arrest, blood clotting, and death by suffocation.
Bai didn't know whether the target of the attack was the woman or Yi Sheng, and she didn't have time to think about it.
As soon as she saw the arrow, it flew off the bowstring.
She instinctively stepped forward and slapped the arrow away, only to be suddenly struck by a sharp pain in her back.
She was struck by another arrow.
Before the venom reached her heart, she gave a signal, and the guards hidden in the shadows killed the one who shot the arrow and took them all away from the scene.
Before leaving, Bai subconsciously turned her head to take another look.
The two were still embracing, completely unaware of what was happening.
She gave a sorrowful smile.
Unexpectedly, this ruthless and heinous killer died because of a single act of kindness.
That's... karma.
In a daze, she remembered what Bai Musheng said before they parted: "Love is not about possession and plunder, but about selfless sacrifice."
She also made a selfless sacrifice; does that mean she received love?
Bai was unaware of this.
Time was running out for her; the poison was deadly.
The guards led her and the corpse to a secluded spot, where they found a raven tattoo on the body.
That was the mark of the Wu family's secret guards.
Bai sneered.
All four great families had members who survived, but while the others were thinking about revenge, she was thinking about kidnapping people.
Love is indeed a deadly poison that one should never touch.
If she hadn't met Yi Sheng in this life... well, if it wasn't Yi Sheng, it would have been someone else. She couldn't escape it.
"When I die, bury me between the two trees in the courtyard of Peach Tree Village."
She gave instructions to her bodyguards.
"Don't use a coffin or a straw mat, just bury him directly."
I've heard that trees that eat meat grow more vigorously.
She never did any good deeds in her life, so she deserves to become fertilizer for trees after she dies.
"You can leave on your own and live your own lives. I can't kill those insects, so you'll have to find your own antidote."
She continued.
"If you still want to stay in the Bai family, then go find Bai Musheng and follow his orders from now on."
She had barely finished speaking when she ran out of breath and stopped breathing in the blink of an eye.
Following her instructions, the guards took her body to Peach Tree Village and buried it, then all went to join Bai Musheng.
Upon learning of her death, Bai Musheng lit an incense stick and burned some paper money for her by the roadside.
As the ashes of the paper money were blown into the air by the wind and floated like butterflies, he remembered a long, long time ago when they were still living a hard life in the countryside.
"Once you pass the imperial examination, we'll go find your father and show him how powerful we are, mother and son."
She was truly remarkable; she transformed him, the son of an actor who had no interest in studying, into the top scholar in the imperial examinations of Da Xi.
If they could have overcome their inner demons sooner, he would be compiling history at the Hanlin Academy in Daxi right now, while she would be drinking tea, chatting, and worshipping Buddha with a group of noble ladies from the capital.
They lived a peaceful and leisurely life together.
But he knew very well that it was all just wishful thinking.
From the moment she killed his biological father, they had no future together.
...
Princess Zhaoyang was unaware that the culprit who kidnapped Yi Sheng was already dead. When she reunited with Yi Sheng, she was stunned when he asked her who she was.
"Don't you remember who I am?"
She stared at Yi Sheng in astonishment.
This guy seems to have said some cheesy things before, like he wanted to be her husband in this life or the next.
In the blink of an eye, he couldn't even remember who she was?
Could this person not be Yi Sheng, but someone who transplanted Yi Sheng's face?
Yi Sheng looked at her intently: "I have amnesia and don't remember anything from before, but I think you must be the most important person to me, because my heart is filled with joy whenever I see you."
Princess Zhaoyang: "..."
The sweet talk is so smooth, it seems to be the same person.
Seeing that his hands and feet were all fine, she breathed a sigh of relief, poked the man in the chest and said, "You idiot, you can even forget your own wife. Be careful, or I'll kick you to the curb and support a hundred or two male concubines."
Yi Sheng: "..."
No wonder he had no feelings for Bai Shi at all; it turns out she was his real wife.
He said that when he first woke up and heard Bai say that she was his wife, he couldn't help but think that "my wife seems to be prettier."
