After she knew the truth, Yuwen Changyun no longer pretended and revealed his true face.
"Since you know, don't blame me for being cruel." Yuwen Changyun stared at her coldly with sinister eyes.
This was the first time Bei Yutang had seen him like this. He made her feel unfamiliar and scared. "Changyun, what do you want to do?"
Yuwen Changyun patted his pale face and said jokingly, "Now you're scared, but it's too late."
"Do you know how my last wife died?"
Bei Yutang had already guessed it in his heart, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"She knew too much, so I strangled her to death. Just like now."
The hands that were pinching Bei Yutang's neck tightened little by little, causing her face to turn red instantly.
Bei Yutang's eyes were full of fear, and she looked at Yuwen Changyun as if he were looking at a devil.
"The dead have the tightest tongues. I wanted to get rid of you, but after killing you, I would have to marry another wife, which would make my little darling unhappy. You're lucky, I'll keep you alive."
"However, you can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the living punishment. Yan Qing may not care about what you did to him recently, but I cannot tolerate it. If you dare to touch him, you are touching me." Yuwen Changyun said sinisterly.
"What do you want to do?" Bei Yutang's voice trembled.
"Of course..."
The next second, Bei Yutang's whole body began to twitch and she rolled on the ground in pain.
Yuwen Changyun stared coldly at Bei Yutang, who was writhing on the ground, and said indifferently, "This is called Seven Days of Drunkenness. Anyone poisoned by this will become delirious and insane. Every seven days, it feels like billions of ants are gnawing at your bones, causing unbearable pain."
"But don't worry. I won't let you die easily. I'll give you some antidote every once in a while. I guarantee you'll live for ten to five years."
From that day on, the news that Princess Jing had gone mad spread like wildfire throughout the capital. The outside world only saw Prince Jing seeking medical advice and medicine everywhere to cure Princess Jing's illness, even offering a large reward and recruiting doctors from the public.
Year after year passed, and Prince Jing did not give up Princess Jing, which made everyone in the outside world praise his deep affection. Even Bei Yutang's family members were grateful and relieved to Prince Jing, thinking that their daughter had married into a good family.
Because Prince Jing had not had any children, the emperor had issued an edict to find another woman for Yuwen Changyun to marry, but Yuwen Changyun righteously refused. The reason for his refusal was that he only had one wife.
He couldn't abandon Bei Yutang because of her madness. She was his responsibility.
Yuwen Changyun's deep love and unwavering loyalty until death moved even the emperor, who could only sigh that he was a lovesick man.
Yuwen Changyun's fame was unprecedented because of his infatuation and loyalty to Bei Yutang, and everyone praised him. Many people began to curse Bei Yutang for wasting such a good husband.
As many people like Yuwen Changyun as there are people who hate Bei Yutang.
Even the Bei family, who had been kept in the dark, tried to persuade Yuwen Changyun to marry another woman, but he refused outright, which moved the Bei family deeply. Bei Yutang's two brothers were both talented people. Because of their guilt towards Prince Jing, they worked wholeheartedly for him.
