When the morning light first appeared, Murong Di Ze woke up from his dream again.

He sat up slowly, his eyes swept across the empty bedroom, and called out in a deep voice, the leader of the secret guards, Xuan Ying.

"Have you found any trace of the woman I described?"

Xuanying knelt on the ground, feeling uneasy, and replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, we have searched the capital strictly according to the details described by Your Majesty. However, we have not been able to find the stunning woman who meets Your Majesty's description. There are no particularly outstanding widows in the capital."

"The most suspicious person is the young lady of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, but she has never shown her face. I have visited her many times and compared her appearance with the servants in the mansion, but they all said that she was ordinary-looking and had no outstanding features."

Murong Di Ze frowned, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Isn't she in Beijing?

"Keep looking, expand the search area, and look outside the capital."

Xuanying received the order and quietly retreated, but he was full of doubts about the emperor's abnormal behavior.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The daytime in Wu'an Marquis Mansion seemed exceptionally peaceful, as if shrouded by an invisible haze.

Xuewu sat alone in front of the bronze mirror, gently stroking her belly, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.

She was more than three months pregnant and this should have been a joyous moment.

However, since the quarrel last month, Zheng Kaifeng rarely stepped into her room and often stayed out all night.

Xuewu looked at herself in the mirror, her increasingly haggard face causing a pang of sadness in her heart.

"He once said that he would love me forever. Does he still remember this promise?"

She murmured to herself, her voice revealing endless sorrow.

The maid Chun'er rushed into the room in a panic, panting.

"Aunt Xue, it's bad! The young master brought a girl back and said she's pregnant!"

The comb in Xuewu's hand suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp and harsh sound.

She stood up suddenly, her eyes full of disbelief and anger.

"What? He actually..."

Her voice was trembling and she could hardly speak.

Xuewu walked out of the room quickly, passed through the winding corridor, and went straight to the front hall.

Before I got close, I could vaguely hear laughter.

That was Zheng Kaifeng's voice. The tenderness that once belonged only to her was now given to another woman.

Zheng Kaifeng was carefully supporting a beautiful woman who walked in.

The scene was so familiar. He had once helped her into the mansion so gently.

Before she had time to feel sad, she spotted the woman.

It turned out to be her old rival in the brothel - Sun Yarong.

"Sun Yarong! You bitch, how dare you snatch my people away again!"

Xuewu was furious, her voice trembling with anger, she could not tolerate this humiliation and betrayal.

She rushed forward, grabbed Sun Yarong's hair, and used all her strength to pull her to the ground.

Xuewu sat on her and slapped her left and right, and the two of them wrestled with each other.

The fight was like a violent storm, extremely fierce.

The servants in the mansion gathered around, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.

The sounds of Xuewu and Sun Yarong fighting and crying intertwined and echoed throughout the courtyard.

While fighting back, Sun Yarong cried for help.

"Feng Lang, help me! My stomach hurts!"

Zheng Kaifeng hurried forward, pushed Xuewu away, and yelled angrily.

"You're crazy! She's carrying my child!"

Xuewu was pushed to the ground, looking miserable and even angrier.

"You ungrateful man! Didn't you say before that you loved me the most and that I was the only one in your eyes?"

She struggled to get up and threw herself at Zheng Kaifeng to fight with him.

Her nails left several bloody marks on Zheng Kaifeng's face.

Zheng Kaifeng was extremely annoyed and pushed her away forcefully.

Xuewu lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in her abdomen.

"Yarong, don't be afraid."

Zheng Kaifeng picked up Sun Yarong and shouted anxiously.

"Call the court doctor!"

Xuewu lay on the ground, looking at Zheng Kaifeng's back as he hurriedly left with Sun Yarong in his arms, her heart aching.

She struggled to get up, but felt a warm liquid flowing out from under her body.

When I looked down, I saw that my skirt was stained with shocking blood.

"my child……"

Xuewu's tears burst out, and she was heartbroken.

The maid Chun'er hurried forward, helped Xuewu up, and cried.

"Aunt Xue, you're bleeding! Call the court doctor!"

Xuewu leaned weakly on the maid, her eyes full of despair and hatred.

"Zheng Kaifeng, you have such a cruel heart!"

When Wang Suqin heard that she had lost two grandsons in a row, her face turned pale as paper. She seemed to have lost all her strength and slumped in her chair.

"You are a jinx! You are a jinx to my parents! You killed my grandson!"

Wang Suqin cursed in deep pain, her voice trembling with anger and grief.

She stood up suddenly, her eyes flashing with resolute hatred.

"We can't wait any longer, Madam Gui. You must ask the court doctor to prescribe a seven-day death prescription. If this unlucky star is not removed, there will be no peace in our mansion!"

Although Nanny Gui was hesitant, the old lady was so flustered that she didn't use the chronic poison anymore.

Although Nanny Gui was hesitant, her years of loyalty made her obey the order and leave.

Five days later.

Wang Suqin suddenly vomited blood, her face turned pale, and she seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

The court doctor came hurriedly, and after a diagnosis, he shook his head with a serious expression and announced in a low voice.

"Madam, you've been poisoned by the Seven Days Fatal Powder that you asked me to prescribe."

"Although I have the antidote, the poison has already penetrated deep into my heart. I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't live for many more years."

Wang Suqin's pupils suddenly shrank, and she looked at Aunt Gui in disbelief. Her eyes seemed to want to eat her alive.

"Madam Gui, you...how dare you betray me!"

Aunt Gui was so frightened that she trembled all over. She fell to her knees, kowtowed and cried repeatedly.

"Old Madam, swear to heaven and earth! I have followed you for decades and have always been loyal to you. I really put the poison in the food of the young lady. How could... how could this happen?"

Wang Suqin felt dizzy and her heart was filled with fear and resentment towards Liu Qianyu.

"This jinx must be a reincarnated evildoer! Go and invite the Taoist priest to come to my house. I will make sure she has nowhere to hide!"

The next day, the famous Taoist Zhang Zheng in the capital was invited to the Marquis Wu'an's Mansion.

He is over 70 years old, with white hair and beard, an immortal look, and is well versed in divination.

He set up his formation, held a compass in his hand, muttered something, and carefully calculated Liu Qianyu's birth date.

As time went by, Taoist Zhang Zheng's brows became more and more furrowed.

He looked at Wang Suqin with a serious expression.

"Old Madam, from what I have seen, this woman is not a monster, but her fate is indeed incompatible with the Marquis' Mansion. If we do not take timely measures, it will surely bring about greater disasters."
