Gold hairpins, jade bracelets, and emerald pearl earrings.
Cui swore an oath after seeing the box of jewelry sent by Shen Changshan.
She was the one who saved him.
With this, she firmly grasped Shen Changshan’s heart.
She has always held it in her hands for so many years.
"If you were me, you would do the same." Cui looked around.
She raised her head and looked at Shen Fu in front of her. When her eyes fell on Shen Fu's face, she was even a little dazed.
She was a little confused about who the person in front of her was.
: "Some things you are born with, so you won't envy them."
Looking at Shen Fu's familiar face, Cui subconsciously thought of the past. The woman who married into the Shen family in a grand manner and was as dazzling as a pearl.
"You have everything." It was only after she met Shen Changshan that she realized that life could be so happy.
Every day, you can eat endless delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and wear endless silks and satins.
She was served by maids.
There is a carriage outside.
When she was a hunter woman, she had to lower her head whenever she met anyone because she had nothing, not even the qualifications to raise her head.
But after Shen Changshan came to her side, everything changed.
The eyes that were looking at her became gentle, and the voices they spoke were soft and their attitudes were flattering.
Some of the eyes were filled with envy.
These were what she gained after being with Shen Changshan.
Cui was cautious and afraid, excited but nervous at the time.
She thought that she would be Shen Changshan's concubine for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that he would marry another woman with great fanfare.
Even though he had made a solemn promise to her at that time, saying that it was to bring her into his house as soon as possible.
But Cui still didn't believe it.
She was too afraid of losing this one.
All of them were things she had always owned. How could she possibly watch herself go back to the days before?
She was so scared that she almost had a miscarriage.
But until she saw the woman's face, everything became a reality.
She knew she was finished.
Looking at the face that looked similar to her own, Cui knew that sooner or later, Shen Changshan would fall in love with this woman.
Even if he thought that the person who saved his life would be himself.
"Your mother was wrong for not marrying into this family!" Cui's eyes even showed madness: "There are so many men who are not marrying, why would she come to snatch the same man from me?"
Back then, Gu Xizhu was as dazzling as a pearl.
Her eyebrows and eyes are so beautiful.
I also heard that she is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and archery.
Such a beautiful woman, but she wanted to snatch her husband away from her.
"Your mother should have died! Who told her to snatch my husband from me instead of someone else?"
Cui's face was gritting her teeth, and she almost growled at Chen Fu.
"It must be you who took her away." Shen Fu's hands trembled slightly, and she almost wanted to slap her hard in the face.
“If you hadn’t been greedy for wealth, you would have replaced her in saving people and become Shen Changshan’s savior.”
“Shen Changshan will not find a woman you know as his wife just for you!”
How ridiculous.
It seems that this incident actually shows that there is God's will.
At that time, her mother rescued Shen Changshan and brought him back to life.
When Shen Changshan woke up, he found the wrong savior and mistook Cui, who looked somewhat similar to Gu Zhusheng.
Afterwards, Shen Changshan met Cui again and found Gu Zhuzhu, who was similar to her, to marry.
After many twists and turns, he treated his savior as a substitute for his concubine.
However, he treated Cui, who was greedy for wealth and fame, as his treasure.
How ridiculous.
Shen Fu shook her head: “Shen Changshan knows that he indulged an imposter and personally killed the real savior who saved his life.”
"The person whom I have held in my hands for so many years is nothing more than a substitute for Lao!"
Chen Fu didn't even know how to describe this matter.
This goes around in circles and seems like a mistake.
Whose fault is it?
But she felt she couldn't explain it clearly.
"So what if that's the case?" Cui was still smiling.
Her eyes fell on Shen Fu, and the interest in her eyes made Shen Fu feel disgusted.
"Back then, your mother thought she was my substitute." She slowly approached, getting close to Shen Fu: "Didn't you almost become Ru'er's substitute?"
"Your Majesty, Consort Zhao?"
As soon as Cui's words fell, Xiao Baozi on the side shouted, "How dare you!"
Xiao Baozi shouted at the top of his voice: "This is the Imperial Concubine."
"Royal Concubine?!"
Cui's tone was murmured, and a quick jealousy flashed in her eyes.
But she quickly covered it up again: "Royal Concubine, if it weren't for you, my Ru'er would also be a Royal Concubine."
Cui's eyes were full of coldness.
When Shen Fu's eyes met Cui's, an idea suddenly jumped into her mind.
: "You did it on purpose."
It was she who instigated Shen Qingru to let her be her substitute.
She has lived her entire life under Gu Xizhu's shadow.
But Cui felt that he had won.
She had already stepped on Gu Xizhu, so when she grew up, she used the same method to make her a substitute for Shen Qingru.
She and Shen Qingru wanted to outwit both mother and daughter.
Even if you live forever, you can only be a substitute for others and cannot turn things around.
"What a cruel heart." What a meticulous thought, what a vicious heart.
The look in Chen Fu's eyes when she looked at Cui was no longer the same as before.
Cui had been planning for this idea for an unknown period of time.
This has been going on silently for more than a decade.
If Shen Fu had not been reborn, she would have been living under the schemes of Cui's mother and daughter, just like in her previous life.
"Did your mother give birth to you prematurely?" When Cui saw that she had guessed it, she suddenly burst into laughter.
"Do you know why?"
Shen Fu only felt a little pain in her stomach, and she retreated backwards vainly.
But it crashed into a chest.
His Majesty held Chen Fu's arm tightly, his eyes fell, worried but also comforting: "I am here."
He looked at Cui coldly, but it was obvious that Cui was ready to risk it all.
"That's because I secretly told her something."
When Cui thinks back to this day, she still feels that that day was the most foolish thing she had ever done in her life.
As Gu Zhu got married into the mansion, Shen Changshan came to her less and less frequently.
His mind and eyes are filled with himself.
After that, he started talking about other people.
"He started talking again about how outstanding Gu Zhu is." When Cui said this, she also hated Shen Changshan.
"So what if Gu Xizhu is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? So what if she is good at riding and shooting." Cui bit her lip tightly: "I just didn't have the opportunity to learn. If I was born in the Gu family, I would definitely be a thousand times better than her."
But although they look similar, their backgrounds are very different.
Cui had been jealous of Gu Xizhu for a long time, to the point of being crazy with jealousy.
But at this time, Gu Zhu became pregnant.
"Chen Changshan is very happy." Cui closed her eyes, but she seemed to still see the excited face of Shen Changshan in front of her eyes.
"But he already has me and Ru'er, but he is still happy that your mother is pregnant with you."
How could Cui tolerate this?
"So, I secretly went to the Shen Mansion and found your mother." She had not yet entered the mansion, so she could only sneak in wearing a maid's clothes.
When she saw Gu Zhunzhu painting while pregnant, she even thought that it would be best if the person in front of her disappeared.
"So, I told her that I was a woman that Shen Changshan kept outside." Cui shook her head: "I also said that he married her just because she looked like me."
"With just these two sentences, your mother woke up after seeing my face."
Cui smiled and looked at Chen Fu: "After the wedding, she had a miscarriage and divorced and returned to Suzhou."
She looked Shen Fu's face up and down, feeling a little regretful.
If she were given another chance, she would never let the man in front of her go.
"If you had died back then, this wouldn't have happened today." Cui murmured, with lingering regret in her voice.
"That's really a pity." Chen Fu stepped forward: "It's a pity that this palace is still alive."
"Now I can see you die with my own eyes!"
There was no trace of emotion on Cui's haggard face.
But when he heard the word "die", his eyes tightened: "You dare not."
She shook her head and said firmly: "You don't dare to kill me."
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Chen Fu thought what she said was funny.
"What do you think I dare not comment on?"
"No." Cui didn't want to die yet, so she stepped back step by step.
“You, your father.” Yes, she also has Shen Changshan.
Shen Changshan held her in his hands, like a pearl or jade, cherishing her like a treasure.
“You, you don’t dare to kill me, how are you going to explain to Shen Changshan then?”
"He is your father. You already lost your mother. Do you still want to give up your father too?!"
When Cui said this, her whole body was trembling.
Obviously, she also knew that her words could not threaten Shen Fu.
But at this moment, she had no other choice but this.
"Do you think I would still care about a father who is only related by blood but not by affection?"
Cui's words almost made Shen Fu laugh out loud: "Cui, where do you get your confidence from?"
"You've done so many wrong things, and you even killed Madam Shen. Do you think Shen Changshan will let you go?"
"No, no." Cui kept shaking her head: "He won't, he won't."
Cui was so frightened that there was more than fear in her eyes.
But still said to Shen Fu: “Shen Changshan won’t believe you, he will only believe me.”
Yes, Shen Changshan will only believe her.
Cui nodded. For so many years, Shen Changshan had believed in her without any precautions.
He doesn't even want his own daughter, he only wants himself.
How could Shen Changshan not believe her?
As long as she talks nicely, it will be like what happened back then, and Shen Changshan will hold her in his palm.
Cui was gasping for breath desperately.
Seeing her like this, Shen Fu looked back.
Xiao Yu reached out his hand, put the hand warmer in her hand, and ordered: "Bring the person up."
Behind the cell, there was a pitch-black darkness.
At some point, Shen Changshan knelt on the ground with his legs.
His tattered body trembled slightly, shaking like a fallen leaf.
When the guards lifted him up, they found that his mouth was full of blood.
He just bit his teeth and it overflowed.
"Let's go, Master Shen." Xiao Baozi looked at the man coldly.
He just heard clearly how the person in front of him had been controlled by a concubine for so many years.
The most important thing is that he doesn’t even want his wife and daughter.
The pearl I held for more than ten years turned out to be nothing more than a fish eye.
It's really ridiculous.
"Your Majesty, it's time for us." Xiao Baozi waved his hand and asked the guards to push Shen Changshan over.
When Cui saw Shen Changshan, her eyes flashed and she suddenly came forward weakly: "Wenqing..."
She pinched her voice, and at this moment she seemed like a different person.
Completely different from the woman who spoke harshly just now.
At this moment, she seemed to have soft bones: "Wenqing, you have suffered, Wenqing..."
Cui stood by the door and did not notice that something was wrong with Shen Changshan.
She just reached out and grabbed the hem of Shen Changshan’s clothes.
"Let her in!"
The guards opened the door, and as soon as the iron chain was opened, Cui threw herself into Shen Changshan's arms as if she had no bones.
"Wenqing, do you know that I have missed you very much during this period?" Cui snuggled into his arms like a little girl.
The whole person snuggled under him.
As if she had no bones, she wished she could stick to him forever: "Without you, Cui Niang can't live even a day."
"During this period of time, Cui Niang has been looking forward to coming in to see you every day, because you can't count the days."
"Really?" Shen Changshan's hand fell on Aunt Cui's shoulder, but his voice was cold.
"Mrs. Cui, are you and my mother all right at home?"
Cui was held in his arms at this time and did not see the murderous intent in his eyes.
She choked up and begged, "Wenqing, it's all my fault. Mother..."
Cui's voice was hesitant: "She fell down and died, died..."
"Really?" Shen Changshan asked, "He fell to death."
The pair of eyes finally fell on Cui's eyes. The next moment, his hands suddenly pinched Cui's neck hard.
"Fell to death? Didn't you kill him?" Shen Changshan's fingers exerted force again and again, desperately pinching Cui's neck.
I wish I could tear the person in front of me into pieces right now.
"Ms. Cui, you have hurt me so much!" Back then, the person who saved his life was not her at all.
"You harmed me, harmed Zhu, and now you've killed my mother!" Shen Changshan's eyes were bulging with veins.
Without saying a word, the force of that hand increased.
How he hoped at this moment that this was all fake.
They're all fake!
"Wen..." Cui was pinched so hard by his hand that her eyes soon bulged and she became choked up.
: "Wenqing."
She choked and let out a sound with her breath, and she was about to die in the next moment.
Shen Changshan's hands were shaking, but his palms were still.
Then, he put it down.
"Mrs. Cui, tell me, everything that happened just now was fake."
Shen Changshan knelt on the ground, looking at Cui who was about to die, and squeezed her shoulders tightly and questioned:
"Tell me, it was you who saved my life back then, not Gu Zhuzhu."
How could it be Gu Zhu?
The woman who had died long ago.
"How could it be her? How could it be her?!" Shen Changshan's eyes were full of madness.
However, Cui was afraid. She covered her neck and said, "Yes, it was me..."
The suffocation after being strangled was still there. She knelt on the ground and trembled: "Yes, I saved you..."
She spoke word by word, but the last glimmer of light in Shen Changshan's eyes disappeared.
"Shut up!" He rushed forward and pulled out the hairpin on Cui's head.
He scratched her neck, and blood instantly splattered his face: "It was Zhu who saved me."
"It's a pearl."
"I..." Cui's hand was still stretched out, her neck cracked, and she fell straight down.
His eyes widened with blood, but his expression was still one of disbelief.
"It was Zhu who saved me, and it was you who made me harm Zhu."
Shen Changshan held the hairpin in his hand and muttered to himself.
She stepped back step by step, and all the blood in her body almost rushed into her brain.
Looking at the person falling to the ground: "You deserve to die..."
Shen Changshan suddenly ran towards the prison gate, holding a hairpin, and ran straight towards Shen Fulu.
None of the guards around him expected that he would do this, and they had no time to rush forward.
Then Shen Changshan raised the hairpin and pointed it at Shen Fu: "Who told you to say it?"
: "It's all your fault!" If he hadn't said it, I would never have known it in my life.
You don't know, he recognized the wrong person.
It was he who killed Gu Zhu and the person who saved him!
Seeing that the hairpin was about to cut Chen Fu's neck, Xiao Yu felt a suffocation in his heart.
"Chen Fu!" He rushed over quickly, and by the time he reacted, he was already standing in front of Chen Fu.
There was a sharp pain in my heart.
Xiao Yu frowned and kicked Shen Changshan hard, but he protected Shen Fu firmly behind him.
"Afu." Xiao Yu looked at Shen Changshan and the guards holding him, then he checked the person behind him again: "Afu, you are okay."
Shen Fu shook her head. She was protected in the arms of His Majesty, unharmed: "I am fine."
The next moment, Shen Fu's expression suddenly changed.
She pointed at His Majesty's chest: "There is... there is blood..."
Xiao Yu looked down and saw a large wet spot on his chest.
"I'm fine." He smiled at Shen Fu soothingly.
Just as the cloak was about to cover the wound, the next moment, the whole person fell backwards.
"Someone come!" Chen Fu hugged the emperor's body and cried heartbreakingly, "Someone come, the imperial physician!"
