After rebirth, the eldest princess dotes on her husband

"Do you really think so?" Yun Shuyue asked.

Yu Zhi nodded, not quite thinking what he meant.

Yun Shuyue raised her eyebrows slightly, pinched his chin with her fingertips and forced him to look up at her, "General Yu, saying one thing and thinking another is a big taboo, I will take it seriously."

Yu Zhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, he pursed his lips and finally said nothing.

"Hurry up and eat, and go somewhere with me."

"Ah."

Yu Zhi picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to pick at the food. Suddenly, there was a broken, incomplete shrimp soaked in soup in the bowl.

Meeting his gaze, Yun Shuyue coughed uncomfortably, "I have never served anyone a meal, and I have never peeled these things myself. If you dislike them, you don't have to eat them."

Yu Zhi curved his eyebrows, picked up the shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth. These were the shrimps peeled for him by his ancestors. Even Lu Jinnian didn't have such treatment, so how could he despise them?

After dinner, Yun Shuyue returned to her bedroom and changed into night clothes. It was a dark and windy night, and she and Yu Zhi disappeared into the night.

Yu Zhi was led by her all the way to the Dali Temple and hid in a place. Then he saw two guards carrying a corpse sneakily out.

Yu Zhi frowned slightly and asked softly, "Lu Jinnian?"

"Just follow them and you'll know." Yun Shuyue held his wrist and quietly followed the guard.

Mass grave

The two guards put the stretcher on the ground, lifted the white cloth, revealing Lu Jinnian's purple face. After looking at each other, they took out a porcelain bottle from their sleeves and stuffed the antidote into Lu Jinnian's mouth. Not long after, Lu Jinnian woke up.

"My Lord, you are awake, are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Jinnian covered his forehead and slowly sat up, "The king is fine."

"Then I will go back and report first."

"Ah."

After the two guards left, Yun Shuyue walked forward.

"Yun Shuyue?" Lu Jinnian frowned. How dare she appear in front of him?

Yun Shuyue glanced at him, threw a handful of sleeping pills at him, and knocked him unconscious.

Yu Zhi walked up to her with his sleeves covering his mouth and nose, his eyes disdainful, "Is there an insider in the Dali Temple? Or is this actually what your majesty wants?"

"No matter which one it is, he must die."

"How do you want to deal with it?" Yu Zhi asked.

"Of course it's Ling Chi death. Killing him directly would be too easy for him. It wouldn't be a punishment, but a reward."

Lu Jinnian was taken back to the dungeon of the general's mansion by Yu Zhi. According to Yun Shuyue's instructions, his tendons in his hands and feet were cut, his tongue was cut, and countless cuts were made on his body to let his blood flow. Honey was also applied to the wounds, and ants crawled up his body and burrowed into his flesh.

Unable to speak, Lu Jinnian could only protest with his eyes wide open, staring at Yu Zhi, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.

Yu Zhi stood in front of him with his arms folded across his chest, expressionless. "Lu Jinnian, in order to get rid of me, you actually went so far as to collaborate with the enemy and betray your country. Do you know how many people you will kill by doing this? What about those soldiers and their families?"

“Mmmm…” What does this have to do with me?

Yu Zhi squatted in front of him in disappointment, "Lu Jinnian, you are the illegitimate son of the old regent. Chao Chao helped you to have your current power and position, but you not only want to kill me, but also want to kill her. Lu Jinnian, ask yourself, do you still have any conscience?"

"Those soldiers once fought on the battlefield with us. Some of them even saved you and protected you. Do you think you are worthy of them by doing this? Do you think you are worthy of their calling you His Royal Highness?"
