Chapter 281: The Sickly Cousin in a Female-Dominant Novel (4)
"My Lord, please wipe it off."
Lin Xi took the handkerchief handed over by Qin Sang, wiped the blood off her hands casually, and then threw the blood-stained handkerchief into the brazier on the side. The flames quickly wrapped around the handkerchief, leaving a layer of black ash.
"Find a doctor to check her tongue. Don't let her die first." Lin Xi picked up the outer robe on the table and turned around to give instructions.
"Yes, sir." Qin Sang nodded in response, and then thought to himself with some relief that it was fortunate that the Lord had just noticed that the Right Prime Minister wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide after revealing the person behind the scenes, and removed her jaw in time, otherwise that person would probably be a corpse now.
When Lin Xi walked out of the Criminal Justice Department, it was already dark. Fine raindrops began to float in the sky, adding a hint of chill to the quiet and deep spring night.
"Sir, are you going into the palace?" When the attendant Huaiyun saw Lin Xi coming out, he hurriedly jumped off the shaft of the carriage and placed a footstool for her.
"Let's go back home first." Lin Xi shook her head, then stepped on the footstool and climbed onto the carriage nimbly.
"Okay!" Huaiyun put away the footstool and got on the carriage neatly. With the sound of a horn bell, the carriage started slowly and headed towards the Sikou Mansion in Taipingfang.
Accompanied by the regular ringing of the horn bell, Lin Xi in the carriage slowly closed his eyes and began to recall the plot he had received half a month ago.
"The Third Princess Wanqi Changge is the third daughter of His Majesty. Because her father, Lord Xiao Guijun, is very favored by her, and she has been very smart since she was young, she is deeply favored by His Majesty."
"However, as the daughter of the emperor, she humbly loves a man whom she cannot get. That man is the second son of the Minister of Rites, Li Fufeng, who had been lost for 16 years and has now finally been found."
"Li Fufeng was born bright and charming, and had a lively personality. She was different from all the conventional, rigid and dignified gentlemen in the capital. For the first time, the Third Princess, who had been used to seeing men whose manners and demeanor were all the same, felt the fresh vitality of life."
"So, she began to pursue Li Fufeng in a high-profile manner, giving him jewels, pearls, and gorgeous clothes, just to win his smile."
"In the end, she even disobeyed the emperor for him. On the day she married her husband, she also took her concubine Li Fufeng into the house. On the wedding night, she abandoned her husband and went to Li Fufeng's room, staying there for several days. After the marriage, she obeyed Li Fufeng in everything, spent a lot of money on him, and spoiled him to the sky."
"However, the land of handsome men is the grave of heroic women. Wanqi Changge, immersed in the charming smiles and beautiful eyes of handsome men, did not know that her precious concubine Li Fufeng was just a chess piece placed by her second sister.
"And Li Fufeng's so-called demeanor that is completely different from that of a young man in the capital is nothing more than the basic skills that an outstanding actor should master."
"At the end of the story, Wanqi Changge, who had long been damaged by the chronic poison that Li Fufeng had been administering over the years, closed her eyes unwillingly, thinking that her life was over. However, when she opened her eyes again, she was surprised to find that she was floating between heaven and earth in the form of a soul."
"In the next ten years or so, she first watched helplessly as the usually taciturn secret guard Eleven beside her buried her body expressionlessly, then rushed into the palace with a long sword, wanting to avenge her on the Second Princess, who was now the emperor. However, in the end, he was outnumbered and his head was cut off and hung on the city wall."
"Then she saw that her concubine Li Fufeng, whom she had doted on for more than ten years but who had killed her, was treated as an abandoned child by the Second Princess and thrown into the military camp without mercy. In the end, he died in filth."
"She also saw her husband, Changsun Yan, whom she had once treated like a piece of trash and never once stepped into the courtyard. In the end, she divorced him at the instigation of Li Fufeng. After hearing the news of her death, he sat in silence all night, and died of depression within a few months."
"The housekeeper who had advised her earnestly, the staff who were loyal to her, the slaves who had remembered her kindness once for the rest of their lives... It was not until Wanqi Changge died that she saw clearly the silent dedication of everyone to her and realized how wrong she had been in her life."
"'If I could do it again, I would never make the same mistake again...' I couldn't remember how many days and nights had passed. Wanqi Changge only felt as if she was exhausted to the extreme. In the last second before her consciousness faded, she silently shouted this sentence in her heart, and then fell into endless darkness."
"Then came the clichéd rebirth segment. After Wanqi Changge was reborn, he learned from the lessons of his previous life. On the surface, he still pretended to be deceived by Li Fufeng, but secretly recruited troops and recruited talents. In the end, he won the battle for the throne with the second princess and successfully ascended the throne. He also appointed his secret guard eleven as the Phoenix Lord, and then the two of them lived a shameless life of having two children in three years."
The second male lead in this story is none other than Changsun Yan, the husband who was despised by Wanqi Changge in his previous life as being old-fashioned, boring and dull.
Changsun Yan was born into the Changsun family, a prestigious family with a history of over a hundred years. He is the eldest son of the current cabinet minister Changsun Mei. Not only does he have a good appearance, but he also behaves calmly and is known for his talent. He is a role model for all the young men in the capital.
But perhaps it is the law of wisdom that brings harm. Although he was very intelligent since childhood, he had always suffered from cold and was always weak. He was a delicate guest who could not stand the wind or rain.
Also because of his frail body and cold personality, Changsun Yan has never been loved by the Third Emperor's daughter Wanqi Changge, to whom he was engaged since childhood.
After Li Fufeng suddenly appeared, Wanqi Changge hated this husband who took the place of her beloved man to the core.
On the wedding night, she lifted Changsun Yan's veil according to ancestral rules, drank a cup of wedding wine with him, and then went to Li Fufeng's yard without looking back. For three whole years after their marriage, because of Li Fufeng's instigation, Wanqi Changge never set foot in his yard again.
In the third year of their marriage, Wanqi Changge proposed to divorce Changsun Yan under Li Fufeng's crying, ending this marriage in name only that had tormented Changsun Yan for three years.
After his rebirth, one month after their divorce, Wanqi Changge felt deeply that he had let Changsun Yan down in his previous life. At the same time, out of the intention of winning over the Changsun family, he went to apologize every day in order to reconcile with Changsun Yan.
However, how could the Second Princess, who had always been paying attention to Wanqi Changge, let her get her wish? Therefore, she secretly bribed the servants of the Changsun Mansion and replaced the medicinal ingredients that Changsun Yan used to replenish his body, causing him to die.
After learning the truth, Wanqi Changge regretted it deeply, but the person was gone and she could only look forward. She became more determined to fight the second princess to the end and vowed to avenge Changsun Yan.
