Just like my encounter with you in this life, the first time we met was when you came to the Marshal's Mansion to look for the secret document. At that time, you, Qingfeng, and another subordinate were all poisoned and discovered by the Marshal's Mansion's secret guards. To escape, you hid in my boudoir.
At that time, I didn't know you and I beat you severely. Later, you saw that I was not interested in the affairs of the Marshal's Mansion, so you bribed me with money to let me spare your life.
I already hated Murong Qingyu, so I agreed to your request and found a way to release you. However, because of this incident, Murong Qingyu learned your true identity. At that time, the poison had taken effect and you were on the verge of death. Your mother, in order to keep you alive for a while, gave you purple fire grass.
In order to completely control you, they married me to you and monitored your every move. So after I married you, we had a lot of fights, and I also made things difficult for you.
At that time, I didn't know that I was betrayed by Murong Yan in my previous life, so I still regarded her as the most important person in my life. However, she had long been secretly involved with Murong Qingyun. In order to make me willingly work for the Marshal's Office, they pretended to hold Murong Yan hostage and forced me to do all kinds of things that were detrimental to you.
Later you knew that I was not loyal to Murong Qingyu, and that my Achilles' heel was Murong Yan, so you promised to help me find Murong Yan and set us free afterwards.
So I helped you cure the cold poison and ascend the throne. As we spent time together, our pretend play finally became real, and we truly fell in love. I even officially broke with the Marshal's Office for you. But our former antagonisms left you wary of me.
Later, we loved each other very much, really loved each other, but there was always a lack of trust between us. It was precisely because of this lack of trust that we were taken advantage of by Murong Qingyun and Murong Yan.
By then, the late emperor had died, as had all the other princes. Although you hadn't officially ascended the throne, you already held all military power. The Marshal's Office had also officially declared rebellion.
During a major battle at Fengyang Mountain, we agreed that I would lead an ambush on Murong Qingyun's main force hidden within the mountain, while you would be in charge of suppressing them from the periphery. However, while I was leading my troops in the mountains engaging Murong Qingyun, you ordered the mountain to be set on fire in order to completely annihilate Murong Qingyun's forces. At that moment, my heart sank.
In my previous life, although Murong Qingyun was not as crazy about me as he is in this life, he was nice to me from beginning to end. Even after he knew that I killed his father, he did not blame me, and asked me to come back to him again and again.
It just so happened that you gave the order to burn the mountain, and I was fighting him. In anger, I wanted to end the battle quickly, so I stabbed him with a sword.
But he just stood there, not moving at all. He said, if I really hated him and wanted to kill him, he would let me do it. If I wanted his kingdom, he would also give it to me.
At that moment, his words and your actions formed a sharp contrast, and I suddenly didn't know who in this world was truly worthy of my trust and love.
I still thrust the sword forward, severely wounding Murong Qingyun. However, I didn't hit his vitals, because at that moment, my heart softened.
At that time, the fire at the foot of the mountain had already started, and I was also injured.
