Yun Shu has been confined to a remote courtyard since the Mid-Autumn Festival. She cannot go out, but people outside can come in.
Wenren Ji's concubines came to Shengjing with the emperor's harem. They were jealous that Yunshu could go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet with Wenren Yan. Although they didn't know why Yunshu angered Wenren Ji, it didn't stop them from hating her.
They tried to test the waters carefully at first, but when they saw that Wen Renji really didn't seem to care about Yunshu, they caught her and bullied her to death, such as knocking over her food, making her kneel on the ground and barking like a dog, beating her, and in short, they didn't let Yunshu have an easy time.
There were many people in Wenrenji's backyard, and those who bullied Yunshu came one after another. Only at night could she get a short rest and fall asleep with a full stomach.
Wen Renji didn't really ignore Yun Shu, but wanted to teach her a lesson, but this idea changed after he met Dan Hezi.
In his previous life, Yun Shu was really treating him like a fool. How dare she do that? Every time he thought of the tragic death of Yun Yuan and the three children, his heart ached, and his hatred for Yun Shu increased.
But in the end, he did not easily give up his obsession with his offspring. After thinking for a long time, he took the green pill and entered the yard where Yun Shu was imprisoned.
Yun Shu lost a lot of weight in just a few days and became very weak. When she saw Wen Renji coming over, she burst into tears.
"Your Highness, you are finally here. I know I was wrong. For the sake of our past life, can you please forgive me this time?"
"Okay." Wen Renji raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Yun Shu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that he would forgive her so quickly, and she burst into laughter.
"I knew Your Highness would not ignore me. Your Highness, are you here to lift my house arrest?"
"No hurry," Wen Renji said, "I've found Dan Hezi and taken the elixir. Did you really get pregnant with Yu'er in your previous life by taking the pills from him?"
"Yes... yes!" Yun Shu nodded frantically.
Wenren Ji opened his hand and revealed a green pill: "You took it."
Yun Shu quickly swallowed the pill. Wen Renji's pupils darkened slightly, and he suddenly tore her clothes apart with force.
They were still in the courtyard, surrounded by guards watching over her. Yun Shu said in panic, "Your Highness, let's go inside."
Wen Renji grabbed her hair and pulled her back: "Why go? Isn't this exactly what you want?" He had already investigated the matter between Yun Shu and Yi Xianyu, and the truth was far more unbearable than he had imagined.
"No..." Yun Shu felt pain and kept shaking his head. The wind was chilly, but the chill on his body was far less than the chill in his heart.
She was exposed to the air like this, and Wen Renji only noticed that her skirt was slightly messy. Afterwards, he didn't even look at her, as if she was some dirty thing.
"You'd better pray that you can get pregnant, otherwise I don't know what I will do."
He walked away with a sinister look on his face, leaving Yun Shu curled up and trembling slightly.
Several maids coldly carried Yunshu to the bed and put a pillow under her, saying that this would make it easier to get pregnant.
Yun Shu felt disheartened. She felt that her body was no longer her own, but a tool for Wen Ren Ji to bear a child.
Wen Renji checked in with Yun Shu every day. Yun Shu tried to repair their relationship but failed, and gradually changed her mind.
She wanted to give birth to the child, and then wait for Wenren Ji to sit on the throne, kill the father and keep the son, and ascend the throne with the son.
She didn't know the pills were defective.
In her previous life, Yun Shu gave birth to a son and wanted to have another one. She asked around and finally found Dan Hezi. However, the pills in Dan Hezi's hand were gone by then. She had always felt very sorry about it, so she was so excited when Wen Renji promised to give her the pills in this life.
Wen Renji followed the instructions in his dream and went to find the mobile vendor. A few months later, he found the book, opened it with joy, and then closed it with dejected look.
"Your Highness, the vendor said there was a heavy rain a few days ago. Strangely enough, the covers of the other books were only wet, but the book you're looking for is completely invisible."
His subordinates had suspected that the vendor had deliberately tampered with the book, but after investigation they found that this was not the case. The vendor lived in poverty and cherished every book. He did not know that the second prince was looking for this book, so there was no deliberate teasing.
Wen Renji closed his eyes in disappointment. Was God punishing him?
………………
Yun Yuan lived a comfortable life after getting married. When she had free time, she would attend banquets and listen to a group of people flattering her.
This is the advantage of standing high. She doesn't have to curry favor with others. Naturally, there will be people who will try their best to please her and flatter her.
Some were simply attracted by her beauty and were so bewildered that they put all the good things in front of her, fearing that they would let her down.
The queen is one of them. Ever since her daughter-in-law came into the family, she has been looking forward to her coming to pay her respects every day. Of course, she would not let Yun Yuan come every day. Young people should have their own lives, and it would be even better if she had a big fat boy.
Danyangzi was famous in the capital for his fortune-telling skills. The emperor disliked Taoist priests, let alone such a high-profile one, so he found an excuse to call him into the palace.
It was the first day of December. Yun Yuan and Wen Ren Yan went to the Queen's Palace to pay their respects. On the way, they happened to meet Dan Yangzi who was following the Emperor.
The emperor asked him, "How is the fate of Dachen?"
Yun Yuan thought that this question was not easy to answer. The Taoist priest would definitely choose to protect himself and say something like "I dare not pry into it" to get away with it.
However, Danyangzi did not play by the rules and replied without hesitation: "As the sun rises."
The emperor smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "Are you saying that my country has reached its peak and is now declining?"
Dan Yangzi replied calmly, "According to the original astrological calculations, this is indeed the case."
Bullshit! The emperor didn't believe a word of it. Since this old Taoist priest had come to him, he would not be polite.
He pretended to be angry: "Come here, drag this old Taoist out and chop him up!"
Yun Yuan shook his head: Why is this old Taoist so bad at speaking? How has he lived for so long?
Following the emperor's order, the guards on both sides immediately rushed forward, ready to take Dan Yangzi away.
Wenren Yan held Yun Yuan's hand. He didn't expect to encounter such a scene. He also thought that the Taoist priest was about to die, and wondered whether he should go and persuade him.
Danyangzi, however, remained calm and composed: "Your Majesty, please be patient and listen to what I have to say."
The emperor raised an eyebrow. "What else can you say when you're about to die? Well, I'd like to hear your last words."
Danyangzi: "Everything in the world has its destiny, and this destiny is the Way of Heaven. What I just said was calculated based on what the Way of Heaven shows. However, a variable has appeared in Dachen today, causing a change in the fate of the country."
"You old Taoist priest are just talking nonsense."
Although the emperor said this, deep down he was actually a little curious about what Danyangzi said.
"You'd better explain what the variable is, otherwise I'll make you come in vertically and leave horizontally."
