Lou Kui felt uncomfortable as her chin was being pinched.
However, he was also startled by Fei Yu's sinister appearance.
She believed what the system said: that this bastard wanted to kill her.
That won't do; she doesn't want to die.
So he immediately said, "What I have in my hand will be of great help to you."
“Not only do I have the power left behind by the King of Guangfeng, but I also know the location of a gold mine.”
"Feiyu, let's cooperate. As long as you continue to protect me, I can give you all of this."
The system told her about the gold mine.
This was originally something I discovered by chance while traveling after visiting Fujian Qingyou.
In the end, Fei Yu benefited.
Fei Yu didn't quite understand Lou Kui's inner thoughts. What did he mean by "originally, it should have been Qing You who accidentally discovered it while traveling and benefited him"?
He frowned and asked, "How do you know there's a gold mine?"
Lou Kui made up a story: "Of course it's the result of my divination skills."
She also wanted to cultivate an aura of mystery and mastery around herself, so that Fei Yu would know she was very useful.
You have to admit, this scoundrel is really ruthless when he gets going.
She was his woman, yet he still wanted to harm her.
I wonder if he would be willing to give up something like a Fujian pomelo.
They must be reluctant to part with each other, after all, these two were originally destined to be together.
If it weren't for her provocation and deliberate sabotage, Min Qingyou would have continued chasing after Fei Yu, and the Crown Prince wouldn't have been saved.
Following the original trajectory, with the Crown Prince's death, Fei Yu, thanks to Min Qingyou's good fortune and background, along with his own strategic planning, would soon be able to ascend to that position.
This scoundrel is still thinking about Min Qingyou, so if it were that bitch, he might soften his heart.
Lou Kui became increasingly annoyed by what she thought about, and her resentment grew stronger.
How come that Fujian pomelo is so lucky? What does she lack compared to that bitch?
Fei Yu understood what was on her mind after hearing these words.
It turns out that Lou Kui deliberately broke him and Qingyou up, and that she also changed the trajectory of his life.
He not only lost the lucky and well-connected Qingyou, but the crown prince also survived. Everything changed because of these things.
Lou Kui must truly possess some esoteric abilities, foreseeing their future and knowing that he has the greatest chance of becoming emperor, which is why he approached them, wanting to replace Qingyou.
Who knew it would end up harming him?
At this moment, Fei Yu really wanted to strangle Lou Kui immediately.
He couldn't resist and moved his hand from her chin to her neck.
He pinned her against the wall and gripped her neck tightly. "Lou Kui, you deserve to die!"
"Compared to Qingyou, you are inferior to her in every way."
"The worst thing I've ever done in my life was believing you, which drove her away."
It all started when Qingyou broke off her relationship with him; it was all this despicable woman's fault.
Lou Kui was furious upon hearing this, and felt an overwhelming pain, as if she were about to drown.
Does this scoundrel not want the power and gold mine she has?
She didn't want to die!
She kept calling out to the system in her mind, asking it for help.
Without affection points, she can't exchange for items, and the system can't save her either.
Upon hearing Lou Kui's innermost thoughts, Fei Yu gradually calmed down and slowly released Lou Kui's neck.
Having come this far, paying such a high price and losing the woman he loved, it would be a huge loss not to recoup some of the losses.
"Hand over the power of the Prince of Guangfeng in your hands, and draw the location of the gold mine right now, and I will spare your life."
"Cough cough..." After being released, Lou Kui collapsed to the ground, clutching her neck and coughing violently.
She cursed Fei Yu in her heart, but she had no other choice. "Fine!"
However, she still planned to keep a couple of tricks up her sleeve so that Fei Yu wouldn't be able to kill her immediately.
Then she still has a chance to save her life or regain his trust.
Fei Yu sneered. Now that he could hear this woman's true feelings, he was no longer afraid of her playing tricks.
So the two went to the study.
Lou Kui gave Fei Yu the jade pendant that the King of Guangfeng had given her, and also drew a rough map of the gold mine's location.
Fei Yu ordered Lou Kui to be confined to her quarters, saying she was ill and not allowed to see anyone.
They even added something to Lou Kui's food, and after Lou Kui ate it, she developed a rash all over her body.
Her entire face was covered in red spots, making it impossible to recognize her original appearance. Lou Kui was going crazy when she saw herself in the mirror.
Then, remembering that he still had a bottle of the antidote he kept with him, he felt relieved.
He did not take the antidote immediately, but endured it until the day he left.
Unbeknownst to her, the antidote she redeemed from the system had already been switched by Qingyou's men.
Lou Kui's paintings became wildly popular in the capital, and her reputation plummeted.
Meanwhile, Fei Chen had the portrait taken to the prison, letting the Prince of Guangfeng know about his "son".
After only looking at two portraits, the Prince of Guangfeng realized that they were painted by the Fourth Prince and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the paper in his hand red.
He cried out in a frenzied voice, "Retribution, it really is retribution!"
He never expected that Lou Kui was actually a woman disguised as a man, and that she had been deceiving him all along.
If he had known earlier that Lou Kui was a woman, he would never have acknowledged her, much less acted so quickly under her instigation and suggestion.
"A jinx, this guy is a jinx!"
The Prince of Guangfeng now regrets not listening to his princess and personally bringing this jinx back to the palace, which has caused his lineage to be completely cut off.
My favorability towards Lou Kui has also dropped to -100.
On the other hand, Hang Yang not only saw those portraits with his own eyes, but was also ridiculed and mocked by many people.
Some people even asked him if he had also admired the scenery depicted in the painting.
