Finally, He Anping heard the jailers talking in the death row cell, saying that Su Wanti's maternal grandfather's family had a relationship with the Regent's family.
After Su Wanti's death, the regent sent people to investigate her cause of death and found the letter he wrote to his parents.
After reading the letter, the Regent was extremely furious. He directly ordered the arrest of He Anping and threatened the Dali Temple to sentence him to death and execute him immediately.
When He Anping heard the truth, he was filled with regret! Unfortunately, his life had already come to an end. The next second, he was dragged out and beheaded in the street.
At this time, no matter what He Anping said, it was useless. Su Wanti was forced to death by his own scheme. Now that the truth was revealed, he had no choice but to pay with his life.
At the moment the head fell, He Anping thought that if he could do it again, he would definitely treat Su Wanti well.
If he had not plotted to force Su Wanti to death, he would have had a beautiful woman in his arms after returning to Beijing, and he could have climbed up the social ladder by relying on the relationship between Su Wanti's mother's family and the Regent.
Unlike now, not only do we have nothing in our hands, we can’t even save our heads.
I don’t know which god heard his confession and gave him a chance to be reborn.
This time, he must keep his head!
"General He, the princess is looking for you." Someone called him outside the door.
He Anping's face darkened, and he replied, "I understand. I'll go see the princess right away."
He Anping stood up and dressed slowly.
If he remembered correctly, the princess came to him this time to tell him that they would return to the capital together in a month.
The eldest princess was arrogant and violent, disregarding the law and levying heavy taxes in her fiefdom. The people in her fiefdom could not stand the oppression and high taxes from the government, so they either revolted or fled with their families, including the elderly and children.
The eldest princess's actions were reported to the late emperor, who was furious and punished her to go to the border for three years for training. She could only return to the capital when she grew up and realized her mistakes.
Later, when the late emperor passed away, the eldest princess submitted a petition, requesting to return to Beijing to stand guard over the late emperor's body, but her request was rejected by the regent.
It was not until last month, three years after the eldest princess arrived at the border, that the imperial palace sent a pardon decree, summoning the eldest princess back to the capital.
In his previous life, he arrived at this border town with a large army and saved the eldest princess by chance.
Because of this, he met the eldest princess, and they fell in love with each other. He even asked to stay for the eldest princess.
In his previous life, he also designed to force Su Wanti to death in order to be with the eldest princess.
However, his sincerity was ruthlessly betrayed by the princess!
The eldest princess was a fickle woman. After she returned to Beijing to meet the regent, she forgot about He Anping.
She had no attachment to He Anping, nor did she feel any reluctance to let go of their three-year relationship.
He Anping was thrown away by the eldest princess like a rag. As glorious as the day he returned to the capital was, as depressing was the days that followed.
Later, he was captured by the regent's men. He asked his family to ask the eldest princess for help, but the eldest princess ignored their old friendship and avoided seeing He Anping's family.
She also told the servants of the princess's mansion that she didn't know He Anping at all, and if anyone from the He family came to ask for help again, they should be kicked out, and there was no need to give them face just because they were a family of officials.
Thanks to his rebirth, he recognized the true face of the eldest princess early on. In this life, he would no longer dream of becoming a prince consort.

After Su Wanti returned from the Regent's Palace, she locked herself in the yard and never left.
The Regent did not send anyone to pick her up, and Liu did not come to force her to go.
Su Wanti spent a few days in peace.
Su Wanti has been busy these days. In addition to looking at account books and picture albums, she also came up with a way to transfer assets.
Suyun and Chuntao are responsible for handling all the outside matters.
Su Wanti asked Suyun to deliver a letter to Manager Yun on her behalf.
Shopkeeper Yun is the only female shopkeeper among the eighteen shops. She used to be someone close to Su Wanti's mother and is very loyal to Su Wanti and her daughter.
In the letter, Su Wanti asked Manager Yun to find a reliable person, preferably one who had no apparent connection with them.
Then a business was opened in the name of this person. This person was only the nominal boss, and the actual management and control rights of the business were in the hands of Su Wanti.
She told Manager Yun to stay put after opening the business and wait for her arrangements.
The He Mansion has been very peaceful these days. Although Liu has not shown up again, she has sent people to deliver many good things to Su Wanti.
There are bird's nests and snow clams for beauty and nourishing, exquisite jewelry from Zhenbaozhai, and fine rouge from Yunxiafang.
Due to Su Wanti's instructions, none of these things could be delivered to her room.
Suyun accepted the things, and after Liu's people left, she turned around and secretly threw the things away.
————
The Regent hadn't sent anyone over, and Liu hadn't sent her over either. Su Wanti had no choice but to hold her composure and wait for the next opportunity.
Opportunities come when they arise.
Late one night, the Regent's carriage stopped at the side door of the He Mansion.
Come to pick up Su Wanti and go to the palace.
This time, Su Wanti did not get off from the back door, but took the palace's carriage and entered the palace's backyard without any obstruction.
The carriage stopped, and Su Wanti got off with the help of a maid and walked into an exquisite and unique courtyard.
Then the little maid took Su Wanti into the bedroom of the main house in the yard.
This bedroom is beautifully furnished.
It is even more exquisite and magnificent than the Regent's bedroom.
"Miss, come with me to take a bath." said the little maid.
Su Wanti's cheeks turned slightly red as she followed the maid inside and saw that there was another room behind this bedroom.
There is a huge screen at the door of the room, and behind the screen is a bathtub.
White smoke was rising from the hot water in the bathtub, and some bright red rose petals were sprinkled on the water surface.
The Regent won’t appear suddenly, right?
Su Wanti was still worried when she took off her clothes and soaked herself in the bathtub.
However, the Regent did not appear until she got out of the bathtub, changed into pajamas, and dried her hair.
Su Wanti made all the preparations with the help of the little maid. When she thought that she was doing all this not for her husband, but for another man...
In her previous life, she would have felt humiliated, but in this life, she felt a sense of pleasure in revenge.
Thinking of that night last time, her cheeks flushed.
Although the Regent was very strong and had tortured her for a long time, he was very gentle to her...
So she left no shadow.
These days, I have read some books and learned some things, and I have a subtle sense of anticipation in my heart.
Su Wanti decided to put into practice what she had learned in the past few days. She took out the ribbon she had prepared and decided to give the Regent an unforgettable experience.
The little maid didn't let Su Wanti wait in vain. She prepared tea and exquisite snacks for Su Wanti.
Su Wanti was not in the mood to eat, so she picked up a thin book from the bookshelf and started reading.
Halfway through, the door opened and the Regent came in with a cold look on his face.
