"You can't...Gao Qingnian, you can't do this to me!"
Fu Rongxin was so frightened that her legs went limp, but Gao Qingnian grabbed her wrist and lifted her up.
He smiled grimly, "Don't think I'm a fool. You drugged me. I wonder who you want to use me as a pawn against? Otherwise, why would you be so guilty as to kill someone to silence him? If that happens, I'll be guilty of adultery and can't explain myself, but you can get away with it!"
As he spoke, his fingers stroked Fu Rongxin's pale face again: "Murder is a more serious crime than adultery, not to mention that the victim is the empress dowager's granddaughter. It's a pity that such a beautiful face will be cut into pieces, sliced into pieces bit by bit, and then hung up for public display."
Fu Rongxin felt her whole body stiff...
Originally, as things had developed in the previous life, Xue Zhiyi would have been in trouble in no time. Why... why did she go to such lengths to force herself into such a situation where she could be bullied by anyone!
She shouldn't have come here! She shouldn't have plotted against Xue Zhiyi! She regretted it! She really regretted it!
But now that things have come to this, there is no turning back for Fu Rongxin.
While she was dazed, Gao Qingnian pushed her onto the table where Fu Ling was copying scriptures, and he also twisted her body so that her back was facing him.
"You gave me the medicine, so you have to take the medicine yourself!"
Realizing what Gao Qingnian wanted to do, she struggled desperately.
But Gao Qingnian's voice, whispering in her ear, came with a hot breath: "It seems that Miss Fu really wants to die, but I still can't bear to let my woman die."
Fu Rong's heart froze... She couldn't kill Gao Qingnian, nor could she escape from this place...
She had no choice.
Giving up struggling, she became numb and allowed herself to be manipulated by the person behind her.
She bit her hand tightly to prevent herself from making the broken and humiliating sound.
But why...why!
She is the true phoenix, the favored daughter of heaven!
She had already died once, and she was reborn to be the Queen! How could she...how could she be easily defiled by such a person?!
The one who should bear all this is Xue Zhiyi, the scapegoat!
This isn't fair... it's not fair!
Xue Zhiyi must die! She must die! She wants to tear that bitch into pieces!
I'm going to make that bitch suffer a thousand times more! I'm going to make her regret being born into this world!
…
In a moment, the matter was done.
Fu Rongxin's eyes were red, and he sat on the ground in a daze with his clothes in disarray.
Gao Qingnian, who had recovered from the effects of the drug, felt refreshed.
With a rustling sound, he tore off a corner of Fu Rongxin's underwear and put it in his arms. On it were patterns embroidered by her herself and a strange smell of blood.
Before leaving, he patted Fu Rongxin's face and said, "Be honest if you want to live. Otherwise, if something happens, I can't guarantee that I won't confess anything."
…
But what Fu Rongxin didn't know was that when Gao Qingnian dragged her into the Buddhist temple—
After Xue Zhiyi dealt with Xue Hanshu's marriage, he had been wondering what Fu Rongxin was planning.
In particular, after they separated in the garden, she saw Fu Rongxin going towards the rockery, and vaguely saw Gao Qingnian following her.
With some curiosity, Xue Zhiyi went to the rockery.
Su Yue followed behind her and asked her, "Miss, this place is damp and smells musty. What are you doing here?"
Xue Zhiyi only replied: "I didn't do anything, just took a walk."
There was nothing unusual here, and Fu Rongxin did not leave any traces.
I think I was overthinking it. Maybe it was just like in my previous life, Gao Qingnian just got lustful and followed to harass Fu Rongxin.
Just as she was about to leave, her peripheral vision caught sight of the lake.
The rockery and Fu Ling's Buddhist temple faced each other across the water, and at this moment, there was a person floating in the lake!
“Miss, that’s…!”
Su Yue also discovered it.
The person in the water had stopped struggling and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.
"Miss, I'll go call someone!" Su Yue said hurriedly.
"It's too late." Xue Zhiyi said in a deep voice.
The person is no longer moving, and calling for help would be a waste of time.
In no time, Xue Zhiyi took off his heavy coat and jumped into the water.
"Miss!" Su Yue was almost going crazy by the lake.
The lady is a girl in the boudoir, she can’t swim!
But Su Yue didn't know that Xue Zhiyi could actually swim.
In her previous life, after she fell into Chunfeng Tower, she went to seek help from Prince Gong Gu Shichong, but was sent back by Gu Shichong.
That time, she was imprisoned in a water dungeon.
The water in the dungeon reached her chest, and if she lost her balance, she would fall into the water.
In order to survive and to make herself feel more comfortable in captivity, she was tied with an iron chain in the water and actually learned to swim by floating up and down.
She was imprisoned for about seven days, and only when she was dying did she agree to receive guests.
In the lake, Xue Zhiyi was as light as a small fish. She held up the person who fell into the water. Fortunately, the child was only in his teens, not tall enough and a little lighter, otherwise she might not be able to hold him up.
Xue Zhiyi poked her head out of the water and realized that both the pavilion on the opposite bank and the place where she had just entered the water were very far away. Moreover, the water level was low in autumn and the bank was much higher than the water surface. She would definitely not be able to climb up with someone.
Looking around, she saw a rockery that had been submerged in the lake water for many years, now exposed to the surface because the water level had dropped.
After calming down a little, Xue Zhiyi swam over with the man.
After landing here, there is a rockery cave. You need to go around a big circle to get back to the shore where Su Yue is.
But after all the trouble, she was already exhausted. How could she have the strength to carry someone out?
We can only provide rescue on the spot.
She turned the child over, and the moment she saw his face clearly, Xue Zhiyi was shocked.
