After rebirth, she became the prince's favorite

In the Zhennan Palace, a cold wind was blowing. The lanterns hanging under the eaves were swaying in the wind, flickering like ghost lights.

Countless guards stood on the wall, aiming their sharp arrows dipped in poison at the man in the yard who was exhausted from illness.

"The prince of Zhennan colluded with the enemy and betrayed his country. He sold out his master for fame and glory. He deserves death. Release the arrows—"

A gloomy and bloodthirsty voice rang out, and sharp arrows as dense as raindrops flew in from all directions. The man was pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows, his pupils were wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

"Don't--" A heart-wrenching female voice came from the room.

Yang Yufei stumbled out, her face covered in tears. She knelt with weak legs in front of the Prince of Zhennan and held her husband, who was covered in blood, in her arms.

She angrily yelled at the man who gave the order, "Li Hexiong, why don't you let him go? He no longer poses any threat to you, why do you insist on killing him?"

The prince's face was full of cruelty, "His survival is the biggest mistake, it makes me feel uncomfortable all over, only his death can help me remove the thorn in my heart."

The Crown Prince of Daxia looked coldly at the woman in front of him. Her belly was bulging and she was more than eight months pregnant. His eyes were fierce.

"As for you, the evil offspring in your belly must not be kept alive! Someone, give the Crown Princess a bowl of abortion medicine to eliminate the root of the problem!"

"Please don't hurt the baby in my belly, he is innocent. Your Highness, please let the baby in my belly go!" Yang Yufei trembled all over, shook her head in despair, and begged without any dignity.

"You are not allowed to make the decision. Drag the Crown Prince's wife into the house and get rid of the evil child in her belly." As soon as Li Hexiong finished speaking, two strong maids roughly dragged Yang Yufei into the room.

Yang Yufei was pinned to the bed by the nanny and couldn't move.

Not long after, the door creaked open and her cousin, Shen Yuying, walked in holding the arm of the Crown Prince, with a smug smile of a winner on her face.

"Cousin, you better drink the medicine and get rid of the evil seed in your belly. For the sake of our relationship as cousins, I will beg His Royal Highness to spare your life. The Zhennan family has committed such a heinous crime, and you, as the Crown Prince's consort, were supposed to be beheaded along with them."

Yang Yufei's heart ached like a knife, but she was still making a final struggle, "Your Highness, please have mercy on me and let me give birth to this child. I will send him far away, and this child will not pose any threat to you."

Li Hexiong glanced at Shen Yuying, who understood and chuckled along her lips, "Cousin, you are usually very smart, why did you act stupid at the critical moment? The bloodline of the Zhennan Palace is a disaster if it is kept. How could His Royal Highness allow this evil seed to survive?"

"Don't waste any more time. Give the prince's wife the medicine."

The maid guarding outside the door immediately brought in a bowl of medicine with a strong smell. Ignoring Yang Yufei's struggle, she pinched her jaw, pried open her mouth, forcefully poured the medicine into her mouth, and forced her to swallow it.

A piercing pain came from Yang Yufei's stomach, and warm blood soaked her skirt.

"It hurts so much, I'm about to give birth, please find a doctor for me, help me——"

Shen Yuying's ghostly voice rang out, "Cousin, don't worry, the pain will subside in a few hours. Once the dead baby in your belly is born, you can still live a good life."

Yang Yufei was sweating profusely and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably due to the pain.

She felt so painful, as if she was being torn apart by a chariot. She could hardly bear it any longer and her strength was draining away rapidly. Why was giving birth so painful and difficult?

The prince and Shen Yuying stood in front of her bed, looking at her miserable appearance, laughing arrogantly and cruelly, as if they were appreciating the pain she was enduring and thought it was something worth being happy about.

"There is one thing I forgot to tell you. When you and Yao Mingjin slept together in Baihua Villa, it was not an accident. It was something I planned on purpose."

Yang Yufei's pupils were wide open. She couldn't tell whether it was the pain in her heart or the pain in her flesh. She collapsed and asked, "Why? Li Hexiong, why did you ruin my reputation? How have I done anything wrong to you that you treat me like this?"

The man saw her hideous expression of pain, and a hint of pleasure flashed through his heart, "Because I can't stand your noble and proud face, and I don't want to have to look at your cold face and coax and praise you after marrying you."

"You are not even as good as a hair of Yuying, why do I have to marry you as the Crown Princess? It just so happens that I want to place a chess piece next to Yao Mingjin, and you are the best choice."

"So you plotted against me and Yao Mingjin, letting us be seen in a dishevelled and embarrassed state? You want the entire capital to think that I am shameless, that I was already engaged to you but still wanted to seduce the Prince of Zhennan? Li Hexiong, you have such a vicious mind!"

"Who asked you to block Yuying's path? The person I really wanted to marry was Yuying. Yang Yufei and Yao Mingjin's broken bodies were all caused by you. You are also the culprit. It was because you wanted to escape while pregnant with his child that he chased you and fell into the ambush I set and was pierced by a poisonous arrow. And every bowl of medicine you brought to him later was highly poisonous. You are the real murderer!"

Yang Yufei collapsed and covered her ears, "You lied to me, I didn't poison him, I didn't hurt him."

Shen Yuying covered her mouth and chuckled, "Cousin, that bowl has been soaked in poison for a long time. As long as the bowl is used to hold the poison, the poison will be released and slowly corrode Yao Mingjin's body. With so much time accumulating, how can he not die?"

"You have done so many evil things and framed loyal people. You will definitely be punished. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!" Yang Yufei roared with resentment.

"It's a pity that you won't be able to wait until that day. By the way, cousin, let me tell you one more thing. In fact, I am also your father's biological daughter. My mother and your father were lovers who loved each other. If your mother hadn't stolen your love, my mother and your father wouldn't have been forced to separate. The position of the Crown Princess should have been mine. I don't owe you anything."

Yang Yufei was crying and laughing at the same time. She destroyed the man who loved her the most with her own hands and ruined her life. It was because she didn't know people well that she was ruined by this pair of bitches in front of her.

"Li Hexiong, Shen Yuying, I curse you to die a miserable death. Even if you scheme hard, you can never become the emperor and empress of the Great Xia Kingdom. You are not worthy!"

"I am willing to bet my soul that I will never be reincarnated in exchange for your miserable ending!"

Li Hexiong's face suddenly changed. He raised his hand and slapped Yang Yufei twice in the face, causing the corners of her mouth to bleed.

"You vicious woman, it seems that I was too kind to you before!"

Shen Yuying fanned the flames, saying, "Your Highness, even though we gave my cousin an abortion drug, if the evil child in her belly is lucky enough to be born alive, that would be too unlucky. We should be more cautious in doing things."

"Ying'er is right. I absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man with a gloomy face dragged Yang Yufei to the ground, unsheathed the long sword at his waist, and stabbed it into Yang Yufei's stomach without hesitation.

Blood splattered everywhere, Yang Yufei's pupils widened, and she was completely dead.
