She pressed down the loose hair beside her ears with her slender white fingers, but the hairpin on her head fell firmly there without any sign of shaking.
"What a pity, my majesty, the East Factory won't protect you, and Wen Zhiyu...even less so!"
It must be unpleasant to be abandoned by everyone and isolated and helpless, right?
Pei Lu was suddenly overwhelmed by an ominous premonition, and the pain in his chest forced him to fall to the ground.
He clutched the corner of the table tightly with both hands, and suddenly he seemed to understand: "Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"
It turns out...it turns out that she had started plotting against him so long ago. It turns out that she knew that he didn't love her so long ago...
When someone told him that the Imperial Noble Consort was very close to the Ninth Prince, he didn't believe it.
Pei Lu thought that someone in the court might be plotting a rebellion, that An Ning's gentleness and obedience were just a pretense, and that the Ninth Prince had harbored ulterior motives for a long time...
But he never imagined that all this was planned by the woman who loved him the most...
She must have hated him terribly when she knew he was using her, right?!
But he loves her now!!
If she wanted, it was not impossible for him to only love her!
He just made a manly mistake, why can't he be given a chance?!
"Chu'er, I will treat you well from now on... I will never lie to you! I swear!!"
Gu Yunchu looked at Pei Lu, crawled over like a dog, grabbed her ankle, and kicked the man hard in the chest.
"love me?!"
"Are you worthy?"
She lowered her eyes, her eyes full of coldness, and looked down at him condescendingly, as if she was looking at a stray dog or a pile of garbage.
"No... No... You should look at me with tender and loving eyes, not like this..."
He murmured to himself, as if Gu Yunchu's eyes hurt him.
Gu Yunchu kicked him again: "You've been pretending to be affectionate for so long, and you've made yourself feel good? Huh?"
"I loved you before, but Gu Yunchu, who loved you, died a long time ago. He was killed by you!"
"Why do you think you have nightmares? I gave you hallucinogens. Living with that restless feeling every day, it must be very difficult, right?"
She kept talking to herself, and every word she said struck his heart like an icicle, leaving him speechless. He didn't know if it was because of the pain or the cold.
"Don't you really like what An Ning said about being together for life? How about you walk in front of her and help her clear the way? How about being a pair of lovebirds on the verge of death?"
Suddenly she clapped her hands and said regretfully, "Oh, how could I have forgotten that you two have done so many evil things and deserve to be reborn as animals!"
I don’t know which words stimulated Pei Lu. He laughed again and grabbed the ground with both hands, leaving tiny marks on the ground.
"Chu'er, Chu'er, you don't think that just because I'm dead, you can live with that useless Wen Zhiyu forever, right?!"
He coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "Chu'er, why don't you guess? Who was the one who helped me with the plan when you lost your composure at the palace banquet?!"
"Hahahaha, my Imperial Concubine, your eyesight towards men is still as bad as ever!"
Gu Yunchu froze in place, his expression blank: "What do you mean?!"
Pei Lu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his smile became more and more sick: "I was just born by a palace maid at that time, and I had no rights..."
He spread out his hands, empty, as if ready to confess everything. "Do you think I had the guts to plot against you back then?"
"Hahaha, there must be someone behind me giving me instructions. Chu'er, why don't you guess who that person is?"
Gu Yunchu's mind buzzed. Pei Lu was saying... Wen Zhiyu was the one who plotted to harm her?!
Her hands unconsciously clutched her clothes tightly, and the long sword was across Pei Lu's neck. She didn't believe it but didn't give up: "You lied to me!!"
Pei Lu knew that he was doomed, "Chu'er, you have to investigate it yourself."
Slowly, he placed his hand on the sword and used force to move the blade down, straight towards his heart.
"I'm not a good person. The person I owe the most to in the past three years is you. Stay away from Wen Zhiyu..."
After he finished speaking, he thrust the sword into his chest and slowly closed his eyes.
Pei Lu is dead.
Gu Yunchu held on to his body and took a deep breath.
"It's too easy for you to die like this."
She knocked on the table twice with the blade of her sword, and the black air behind Pei Lu took shape.
He rushed towards Pei Lu again, and in less than half a cup of tea, Pei Lu's body turned into a mummy.
"Before he goes to the underworld, his soul is yours."
There was another burst of hurried footsteps outside the door. The person leading the way was Li Xiao. Lin Qingge was standing next to him. When she pushed the door open, she saw Gu Yunchu sitting motionless on the chair.
Her face was expressionless and her eyes were blank, and the blood-stained sword fell at her feet.
There was no life in his eyes, he just lowered his eyes, no one knew what he was thinking.
It was the first time that Lin Qingge saw her like this. When she turned around and saw Pei Lu, she was so dry that only a skeleton was left, like a dried corpse whose energy had been sucked away by a goblin!
She was startled and mustered up the courage to step forward and poke Gu Yunchu. Tears rolled down the woman's beautiful face, one after another, and her chest kept heaving, but no sound came out.
Lin Qingge didn't know why his heart tightened when he saw her like this: "Everything is over, why...why are you still crying?"
The two of them have been fighting for their entire lives, from the capital to the prince's residence, then to the palace, and now... Maybe according to what she said before, they can be considered sisters.
"I want to see Wen Zhiyu."
Her voice was cold and nasal. Lin Qingge looked back at Li Xiao, who just shook his head at her.
Lin Qingge: "Okay, I'll go call him for you."
When Wen Zhiyu came over, he saw her sitting there in a daze. He called out in a worried tone, "Jiaojiao..."
Hearing his voice, she suddenly raised her head and looked at him without any emotion in her eyes.
Wen Zhiyu smiled bitterly. He had known that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
She bent down to pick up the sword and pointed the tip at Wen Zhiyu.
"You were the one who planned the palace banquet three years ago."
It seemed that she didn't even need to ask questions, as she already knew the answer, but she still wanted to hear it from his mouth.
Even if the answer is false...
She would believe it too.
But Wen Zhiyu didn't want to lie to him. He lowered his head, looked at the bloody sword blade, and said with difficulty: "...Yes."
She suddenly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. "So, when I came to you on that rainy day, what was your mentality?"
"What am I to you? A plaything? A fool?"
"Wen Zhiyu, I asked you over and over again, do you like me? What were you thinking at that time?"
