Seeing Cui Xu, Princess Rongyang did not stand up, but trembled her eyelids and asked, "Why, are you here to see me laugh?"

"No, let me ask you something."

Princess Rongyang looked at Cui Xu.

Cui Xu's face was calm, but there was a wave of fear in his eyes. He asked word by word, "Did you kill A Ke?"

Princess Rongyang's expression twisted and she said with a smile, "I knew you came here just for that jerk!"

"Did you kill A Ke?" Cui Xu was indifferent to Princess Rongyang's hysteria and asked again.

Princess Rongyang had mixed feelings towards Cui Xu, but she had never lost to him psychologically for many years. But now that she had become a commoner, that delicate balance was completely broken.

She became a little crazy, and her words became more and more outrageous: "So what?"

"Did you really harm A Ke?" Cui Xu's voice trembled, and all the light in his eyes was completely extinguished, as if he had turned into a pool of stagnant water that would never ripple again.

Princess Rongyang stood up and approached Cui Xu.

She was tall and had lived in luxury for many years. She was very powerful in front of Cui Xu: "Yes, I killed her. Who made her marry and have three children? She even had the audacity to seduce you! Cui Xu, I married you, but you made me stay alone for a long time, while you had an affair with a married woman and went to Baiyun Temple to have an affair. Shouldn't I kill that bitch?"

Cui Xu looked at Princess Rongyang with a look that became extremely deep: "She didn't, and neither did I. This is all just your imagination!"

Princess Rongyang laughed loudly: "Cui Xu, you are lying! Do you dare to say that you and Su Shi did not appear together in Baiyun Temple? That bastard who dares to touch my man must be prepared to be killed by me."

"How can there be a woman as vicious as you in this world?"

"Sinister and heartless? You forced me to do this! If you had been more attentive to me when I married you, would I have become like this?"

Cui Xu shook his head: "You forced this. The imperial edict can control people, but not their hearts. I explained this to you at the beginning..."

Princess Rongyang was speechless for a moment when asked.

Cui Xu told her this before the wedding, but she didn't believe it.

She was a noble princess with high status and beauty. If she married Cui Wei, wouldn't she be able to attract him over time?

But the man she met had a heart of stone, and even their sexual relationship was only possible because she used drugs...

Thinking back to these, humiliation and hatred came over her like a tidal wave, making Princess Rongyang's words even more harsh: "What are you doing here? You found out why I killed that bastard, are you going to avenge her?"

"No?" Cui Xu asked calmly.

Princess Rongyang laughed out loud: "Cui Xu, don't forget that my brother only took away my title of princess, but he didn't kill me. Even if I become a commoner, I am still the empress dowager's daughter. You try to touch me and see if my brother can forgive you! If you want to avenge that bastard, you'll have to wait for the rest of your life-"

As a sharp sword pierced through her chest, Princess Rongyang stopped talking.

She lowered her head and looked at Cui Wei in disbelief.

Cui Xu remained calm and said softly, "This time, I don't want to wait another lifetime."

He pulled out the sword with all his strength and struck hard at his neck.

The hot blood gushed out, captivating Princess Rongyang's eyes.

She tried to open her eyes wide, but could see nothing but blood red.

When she heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, she knew it was the man she had loved and hated all her life.

Then, there was another sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and this time it was her.

The cold ground helped her regain some clarity. The mist in her eyes faded away, and she could clearly see the person lying beside her.

He closed his eyes with a faint smile on his lips, as if he was enjoying the beautiful scenery in his dream.

Big tears rolled down Princess Rongyang's eyes, and the pain in her heart overwhelmed the pain in her body.

"Cui Wei, Cui Wei--" She shouted again and again with difficulty, but the man who was so close to her did not move at all. Only the hot blood that was madly gushing out of his body drowned her and mixed with her blood.

The low shouts gradually stopped, and countless panicked shouts rang out again. Servants from the Princess's Mansion rushed in from all directions.

"Father, mother--" Cui Yi pushed aside the servants who were blocking his way and staggered to the two of them.

What he saw before him was a horrible scene he had never seen before: his solemn and stern father in his memory was lying on the ground with a nasty wound on his neck. His noble and arrogant mother was also lying on the ground with a large bloody hole in her chest oozing blood.

They were huddled together, one had a look of relief and calmness on his face, while the other's face was filled with thousands of words.

So close, yet so out of place...

Cui Yi knelt beside the two of them and cried out in pain.

He really doesn't understand.

Just a year ago, he still had a sister, a mother, and a father. No matter what conflicts the family had, at least everything was fine. How come in the blink of an eye, his sister disappeared, his father killed his mother and then committed suicide...

The servants of the Princess's Mansion knelt on the ground and cried, "Sir, what should we do?"

Now that the eldest princess was dead, those items naturally could not be packed up. They could only wait in confusion as to what to do with them.

Cui Yi climbed up and said through gritted teeth: "I want to go to the palace!"

"Young Master, Young Master——"

In the study, Emperor Jingming threw the memorial aside and his eyelids began to twitch wildly.

Emperor Jingming was panicked for a moment.

That's impossible. What happened in the past two days has already made him upset enough. Is there going to be more trouble?

"Pan Hai——"

"The servant is here."

"Go ask Auntie Duo about the progress. Could it be that Auntie Duo couldn't stand the torture and died?"

Pan Hai took the order and left, but returned before Emperor Jingming could even have a sip of tea.

Emperor Jingming couldn't help but sit up straight: "What?"

This is too fast, it must be something bad!

Pan Hai simply didn't know how to talk to Emperor Jingming.

The emperor has suffered a lot in the past two days...

"Just tell me if you have something to say!"

"Mr. Cui wants to see you——"

Emperor Jingming pondered for a moment: "Cui Yi? He is here to plead for his mother. Go out and tell Cui Yi that his mother made a mistake and deserves to be punished. No one else can plead for her..."

Pan Hai said with a stiff face: "Master Cui cried and said that General Cui and Princess Rongyang were dead..."

The jade Pixiu that Emperor Jingming was playing with fell directly to the ground, breaking into a horrible state.

"Call Cui Yi in! This idiot cannot talk nonsense just to see me."

Cui Yi came in with red eyes, and he knelt down and cried loudly: "Uncle, my father and mother are dead——"

"What's dead? Cui Yi, if you keep talking nonsense, I will not show mercy!"

"Uncle, how could I talk nonsense about my parents? My parents are really dead--"

"What's going on?"

Cui Yi cried bitterly: "My father killed my mother and then committed suicide..."
