"So, you were forced into the palace. No wonder you didn't compete for the emperor's favor for the past few years. You wanted to keep your virginity for your lover. After learning of his death, you thought of avenging him, so you endured this disgusting behavior. Hehehe..."
These events were naturally fabricated by Xing Xiaoya, along with a confession letter written in imitation of Su Qinyue's handwriting. The letter emphasized how disgusting she felt during her time serving the emperor, describing how the emperor smelled like an old man and made her want to vomit.
When the emperor saw these words, he was furious. That very night, he ordered the Imperial Guards to investigate Consort Yue's family and uncover these old stories.
Although he was angry, he still had to see the evidence and was determined not to wrong anyone.
However, it was clear that after waiting almost a whole day, when the case file was placed on the table, the matter was definitively proven wrong.
Before entering the palace, Su Qinyue did have a lover with whom she had a deep affection. The two even went so far as to commit suicide together. If Su's father hadn't seized the opportunity to threaten her lover, Su Qinyue would never have entered the palace.
When these words came into view, the emperor's wishful thinking was completely shattered. In the heart of the young and beautiful Consort Yue, he was not a respectable emperor at all, but a detestable old man.
Enraged, he vomited blood and ordered that Consort Yue be given three feet of white silk to hang herself. Only after a palace servant reported that Su Qinyue had been sent away did the emperor finally faint in relief.
The Imperial Medical Academy was immediately shaken, and all the highly skilled physicians were summoned to examine the Emperor's pulse.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the imperial harem, no one noticed that a corpse that had been thrown into a mass grave had been secretly transported to a house on the outskirts of the capital.
The system, without even bothering to lament, immediately reported to Xu Wanying: "Host, host, guess what Jiang Chengli is doing?"
"Are you collecting Xing Xiaoya's body?" Xu Wanying said casually.
[Huh? How did you know?] The system was momentarily surprised.
Xu Wanying chuckled softly and didn't say anything more, but she was thinking to herself.
Of course she could guess that Xing Xiaoya was the one who had tormented Jiang Chengli for generations. He would only feel at ease if he saw the body after she died; otherwise, he probably would never be able to sleep peacefully.
"Hey, host, do you think Jiang Chengli still can't forget Xing Xiaoya and can't bear to let her die in the mass grave, so he wants to give her a proper burial? This devoted second male lead character finally showed his true colors at the end." The system couldn't help but sigh.
[Let me see the video.]
As soon as Xu Wanying finished speaking, a house appeared before her eyes. However, this house did not look like a human dwelling. Instead, it looked like a haunted house, with eerie decorations everywhere.
[And there are Taoist priests too. What are they doing? Are they performing a ritual to help Xing Xiaoya pass on to the afterlife?]
Xing Xiaoya was placed in the coffin, and then the Taoist priest began performing rituals.
The coffin was covered with various talismans, and its placement was also very particular.
"Does this look like a ritual to deliver the deceased? It's clearly suppression!" Xu Wanying couldn't help but retort.
[Holy crap, this is real suppression! How much hatred must there be! Xing Xiaoya didn't do anything to wrong him, right? She just wanted to be with him, and she also wanted to be with his second brother, and she also wanted to...] The system stopped abruptly, clearly realizing something was wrong.
But then he started to argue: "[Thinking about it, it's not illegal, so forget it, the person is dead.]"
In the video, Jiang Chengli stares intently at the coffin, watching it being buried deep underground before his eyelids relax.
In reality, the torment of a hundred lifetimes made him feel that Xing Xiaoya was an indestructible monster. Even seeing her corpse with his own eyes, seeing her suppressed and buried, still could not untie the knot in his heart. He hoped there would be no next life.
