Su Yuan never imagined that she would end up like this.
She had just left the capital, how could she have been arrested?
Most importantly, the person who arrested him was Song Zhi.
"Song Zhi, what are you doing?"
"Why are you kidnapping me?"
"Why? You actually dare to ask me why?" Song Zhi sneered. "You've ruined my life, and you still have the nerve to ask me why?"
"I ruined your life? Are you kidding me? You're the one who ruined me! Did I make you like me? No, you were the one who kept bothering me. It was you—and it wasn't me who made you want to kill your wife and children, it was you too."
Su Yuan cried out.
“But you shouldn’t have been flirting with other women after you got together with me.” Song Zhi touched Su Yuan’s face.
"Su Yuan, I really like you."
He kissed Su Yuan's forehead, her eyes, and finally lingered on her lips, only to be met with a fierce bite from Su Yuan. "Don't touch me," she said, glaring at him with resentment, her eyes filled with hatred.
"Slap." Song Zhi raised his hand and slapped her across the face.
"How dare you look at me like that? You bitch, how dare you look at me like that—"
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Yuan by the neck. "Anyone can look at me like that, but you can't. It's all because of you."
"Song Zhi, are you crazy? Cough cough—" Su Yuan struggled weaker and weaker as her neck was being choked so tightly she could barely breathe.
He's gone mad, driven insane by these people.
Nightmares and beautiful dreams repeated day and night. One moment it was heaven, but when he woke up he felt endless sorrow. The next moment it was a series of nightmares, which frightened him so much that he dared not go to sleep.
He was really on the verge of a breakdown—
He really couldn't take it anymore.
It looked like Su Yuan was about to die.
Song Zhi then released her.
"Cough cough cough—"
A large amount of air suddenly rushed into her lungs, making Su Yuan feel even more uncomfortable. She gasped for breath and coughed incessantly.
"You—really—are insane," she said in a hoarse voice. Song Zhi had truly gone ruthless towards her.
Her throat was sore, and tears kept falling from her eyes in fear.
"I...I...I shouldn't have hurt you, Su Yuan. I'm sorry, please don't cry. Your tears break my heart." Song Zhi stepped forward and kissed away Su Yuan's tears.
"No, don't touch me."
Su Yuan turned her head away. "Disgusting."
"You call me disgusting? What's wrong? You were slept with by the Emperor, and now you only want the Emperor to sleep with you? Oh, no, didn't you also go to see the Duke of Wei? What happened to the Duke of Wei? Doesn't he want you anymore?"
"You—shameless, spying on me."
"Don't blame me, I just like you too much. I love you, I really love you so much, Su Yuan, don't leave me." Song Zhi hugged Su Yuan tightly. "You've slept with them all, it shouldn't matter if I sleep with them too, right?"
What are you doing?
"It definitely has nothing to do with each other—"
With a sudden burst of strength, Song Zhi ripped open Su Yuan's clothes—
Su Yuan was forced to endure this violence, and tears slowly slid down her face.
She was wrong.
She was really wrong.
She shouldn't have left the palace. If she had known, she would have preferred to lose her freedom rather than end up like this.
One month later.
Unable to bear it any longer, Su Yuan stabbed Song Zhi to death with a knife, and then took her own life.
Neither Ning Changxi nor Ning Zixi ever remarried.
Their first marriage seemed to have exhausted the courage of both of them to get married again.
They accompanied each other and raised Ning Zhi'an as she grew up.
They traveled to all the famous mountains and rivers, and traversed the entire Tang Dynasty.
He finally settled down in a town near Hangzhou when he was old.
They were already very old at that time.
Ning Hong passed away five years ago. He left suddenly in his sleep, without any illness or pain, and very peacefully.
Ning Changxi and Ning Zixi were heartbroken, and from then on, their health deteriorated one after another.
Fortunately, Zhi'an is a good boy, his wife is virtuous and kind, and they have so many grandchildren to keep them company, which is why they managed to get through it.
However, it only lasted for five years before it began to falter.
However, neither of them had any regrets in their lives.
Because of their brother—their father—they lived a carefree and unrestrained life.
As for Song Zhuo, he had already passed away.
He passed away fourteen years after Ning Changxi left.
However, he was also quite capable, as he nurtured another wise ruler for the Tang Dynasty.
It is He Su's child. It must be said that He Su was indeed much more intelligent than the Empress Dowager.
She was competitive and assertive, but she knew how to maintain a proper balance. She would even occasionally get the Emperor to talk about Empress Ning Changxi, which made Song Zhuo very fond of her.
The position of empress remained vacant, and Song Zhuo never appointed another empress.
He has already stated directly that since the Empress died to save him, he will not appoint another Empress.
He promoted He Su to the rank of Imperial Concubine, and put her in charge of all affairs of the inner palace.
The only child was born to He Su.
After confirming that He Su had given birth to a son, he took the child into his own hands and raised him, naming him Song Si, with the "Si" meaning "to miss".
After that, she never set foot in the inner palace again.
However, He Su was also quite satisfied.
Anyway, she didn't like Song Zhuo; all she wanted was this position.
Most importantly, her son is the crown prince, so she doesn't have to raise children, which couldn't be better.
