Chapter 1 Rebirth
With an imperial decree, he ordered the death of his first wife Ning Yunxi.
Ning's father favored his concubine and ignored his wife. Not only did he fail to save his legitimate daughter Ning Yunxi, but he also helped his concubine's daughter and took the throne of queen.
The brothers even invited musicians and singers, and on the day of her mourning, they set up lanterns and decorated the room with music and drums for their younger sister.
Although dusk was falling, Shengjing was brightly lit.
The new emperor ascended the throne, and everyone celebrated.
Every household was bustling with people talking and laughing, creating an unprecedented grand occasion.
Once upon a time, when plague was rampant, Ning Yunxi risked her life to save the people.
Now, it seems as if the whole world has abandoned her!
Her almond eyes darkened, and she ended her miserable life.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back to ten years ago.
This was the second year since she married Prince Chen.
Because his beloved was infertile, she became a reproductive tool and had to give birth to a child less than a year until there were enough to continue the family line.
Today is the first day that Prince Gu Nianting favors her.
In her previous life, she was unconscious in bed, like a lamb to be slaughtered, allowing Gu Nianting to do whatever he wanted.
If she were to live her life over again, she would not allow herself to be bullied.
"Who dares to trespass into the backyard of Prince Chen's mansion?"
She asked the question deliberately, and at the same time used her fingers to take off the blue chalcedony silver hairpin adorning her hair.
With a wave of his hand, the hairpin fell, and the heroic posture that Gu Nianting was proud of was immediately destroyed!
"what!"
Gu Nianting let out a long roar, as if it burst out from the depths of his soul.
Hysterical, like a violent storm.
It broke the total silence of the long night and tore apart the unfathomable depth of the twilight.
"Ning Yun..."
Gu Nianting was furious and roared out her full name, but the severe pain that swept over him quickly suppressed his roar.
His veins bulged and red lines filled his wide-open eyes.
All the interest was extinguished by Ning Yunxi, and only the raging anger remained, which seemed to be burning forever.
Ning Yunxi lowered her eyes leisurely, pretending to take a closer look, and after a moment, she knelt down as if realizing it belatedly.
"Your Majesty?"
"How could it be you?"
"The prince has never come so late at night, so I thought it was a foreign man who broke in. I didn't know it was the prince..."
"To accidentally injure your body is a serious offense!"
Ning Yunxi lowered her eyebrows and nodded, looking as if she knew she was wrong.
The acting is superb and detailed.
Gu Nianting didn't bother to tell whether her feelings were true or false. He forced himself to keep his handsome face pale, his whole body tense, and his breathing becoming heavier.
"Quick... go... get the imperial physician."
He opened his lips slightly and gave the order with trembling voice.
There was a hint of satisfaction in the corner of Ning Yunxi's eyes. She did not do as he wished, but volunteered to propose it.
"I know a little bit about medicine, and I have experience with both external injuries and internal diseases. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, why not let me take a look?"
She has been studying medicine since she was a child, and at this time in her life, she has already achieved academic success.
Gu Nianting was well aware of this.
Seeing that he wanted to agree, Ning Yunxi pretended not to see it and quickly continued the conversation.
"I accidentally injured someone, and inevitably lost the prince's trust."
"But the prince is seriously injured. How can we wait for the imperial physician to arrive?"
"Besides, the prince was injured in secret. If it gets out to a third person, the prince's reputation may be damaged."
"I beg Your Majesty to allow me to give it a try!"
Gu Nianting nodded weakly in agreement.
Ning Yunxi deliberately lowered her eyes, pretending not to see it.
She finished speaking in one breath.
Gu Nianting almost fainted from the pain.
"you you……"
Gu Nianting tried his best to squeeze out these two words.
Then, there was another round of silent crying.
Ning Yunxi responded calmly, with no ripples in her heart.
This little pain was nothing compared to the six difficult childbirths she had endured in her previous life.
After a while, Gu Nianting's eyes had dimmed, and the cold beads on his forehead slid down and condensed again, condensed and fell again, over and over again.
Ning Yunxi bowed her head, and was respectful and polite, but there was a hint of worry on her face, which she portrayed exquisitely.
No one could tell that she had any ill intentions.
"I dare not act rashly without the permission of the prince."
"But the prince is so injured that we can't wait any longer."
"Please trust me, Your Majesty. I will do my best and spare no effort!"
His lips looked weak, as if all his strength had been drained away. He barely managed to hold on and finally uttered a complete sentence: "This king has agreed. You must treat your injuries immediately and do not delay."
Ning Yunxi looked indifferent, and only raised her lips slightly: "As you wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yunxi's hand had already tightly grasped the blue chalcedony silver hairpin.
The force of his grip was so tight that it seemed as if it was going to crush the silver hairpin.
The silver hairpin felt cold to the touch, a slight chill, just like her lifelong love, which was buried by the heartless snow.
With a twist of her wrist, she tortured him to the utmost.
A hint of cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
She raised her hand and suddenly pulled out the hairpin.
The candlelight intertwined, just like Gu Nianting, struggling to pieces, as if a silent battle was taking place.
In order to spend a night of love, he had already dismissed all the servants.
Therefore, no one will disturb you if there is any unusual movement.
"Ning Yunxi, what are you doing?!"
With the intense pain, he finally cried out.
Just one sentence and I'm exhausted again.
Ning Yunxi's respectful expression disappeared completely, leaving only a playful smile, looking down from above.
"doing what?"
She repeated the question, picked up the lamp oil on the Eight Immortals Table, and poured it down along Gu Nianting's ugly face.
The lamp oil poured out, as beautiful as silk, and for a moment, the ground was covered with gold.
"Of course I want to kill you!"
Ning Yunxi's every word was clear and powerful, and his voice was steady, just like a muffled thunder rolling slowly across the sky on a rainy night.
In this life, Gu Nianting will pay for the bone-cutting revenge in his previous life with his life!
Ning Yunxi waved her wide sleeves and easily brushed off the three candles on the candlestick.
The lamp oil and candle flame clashed, and in an instant, it became a sea of fire.
As the night wind blew, it lifted up the hem of Ning Yunxi's brocade-embroidered skirt.
As flames shot up into the sky, she turned around calmly, with thick smoke billowing behind her, as if a black dragon was rising up, with sharp and fierce eyes, like a raging fire, enough to reduce everything to nothing.
She strolled along the corridor, her steps becoming heavier, as if every brick in the corridor was filled with the unbearable suffering of her previous life.
Behind him, there was Gu Nianting's loud shouting.
"Ning Yunxi, you are so bold!"
"How dare you do this?"
"Tell me, why did you try to murder me?"
"Ning Yunxi, I order you to stop!"
"Someone, help me..."
His voice was sonorous.
Ning Yunxi looked at him with disdain.
Sure enough, at the moment of life and death, he had the strength to roar.
He now understands the feeling of being unable to survive and being like an ant.
I bowed to him in the sea of fire, but I wonder if he is satisfied or not?
All the hysteria quieted down at the corner of the corridor.
Ning Yunxi walked around the corner, and suddenly, her wrist was tightly locked by a woman.
"Oh, you're here."
She is the girl who is regarded as the apple of the Ning family's eye, Ning Yunxi's half-sister, Ning Wanshan.
In her previous life, she used Ning Yunxi as a stepping stone to seize the Phoenix Throne.
On the day of her enthronement, her seemingly kind face was filled with pride.
Ning Yunxi will never forget that divine look.
In this life, Ning Wanshan is still as beautiful as the morning light, but her words are as vicious as those of a snake.
"Ning Yunxi, you set the fire and committed atrocities. I witnessed it all."
"I have sent my personal maid to the palace to meet the emperor and report the truth."
"As for the fire in the house, I will not put it out."
"Because only when the Prince of Chen dies, you will be sentenced to death!"
"Someone, stop her!"
