The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Fuling brushed aside her messy hair and patted the dust off her skirt in disgust. She turned around and walked into the inner courtyard, ignoring the crazy concubines who continued to act crazy.

There was a dry well in the yard. She took out a tattered rope ladder from a dark corner and threw it into the well.

Soon, the rope ladder shook, and a figure dressed in eunuch's clothes slowly climbed up.

Gu Chenan elegantly brushed off the mud and dead grass on his body, and asked Fuling calmly: "How are you doing what I asked you to do?"

Fuling glanced at the crazy concubines and whispered a signal.

"Go in and talk."

Gu Chen'an disagreed. He had already investigated these crazy concubines. Each one was crazier than the other. There was no need to be on guard.

But to be on the safe side, he followed Fuling to the room.

Fuling was much thinner and paler than before. After escaping with Mu Weiye last time, she thought that as long as she followed him, she would be able to make a comeback in the future and realize her beautiful dream. However, she never expected that Gu Chenan had already kept a trick up his sleeve and gave her and Mu Weiye a chronic poison in advance.

Mu Weiye died of the poison due to the forceful use of his internal energy to detoxify. Fuling survived by chance, but was controlled by Gu Chenan and forced to become his puppet.

After leaving the palace with great difficulty, she is now back. She can only hide in the cold palace and can only get the antidote once on the 15th of every month.

The furnishings in the room were simple and shabby, standard for a cold palace, but when she turned on the mechanism at the head of the bed, everything changed.

A small secret room appeared in front of the two.

Gu Chenan and Fuling walked in readily.

Inside was a small table filled with all kinds of bottles and jars, and dozens of human skin masks hung on the wall.

The innermost bed was covered with dried blood, and ropes and knives of varying lengths were piled in the corner. It was obvious that something very tragic had happened on this bed.

Gu Chenan looked at the human skin masks, took one off at random, and nodded with great satisfaction.

"This batch is doing well. How's the progress on the dry well?"

Fuling had a dull look on her face, her body and mind having long been numbed by the endless exploitation and labor.

"almost."

Hearing this, Gu Chenan's eyes suddenly became extremely cold and he grabbed her neck without hesitation.

"Soon, what does that mean?"

"What if I said, you're dying?"

Fuling was both frightened and suffocated by the sudden force. Her eyes were wide open and she kept slapping Gu Chenan's big hands with her hands.

"I'll try my best and it will be done soon..."

"Try your best?" Not only did Gu Chen'an not let go, his expression became even more ferocious.

"What does it mean to try your best? Like me?"

As he spoke, his big hand gradually tightened, and a cold and terrifying look appeared on his face.

"Ahem, three days, give me three days..."

After hearing the exact time, Gu Chenan let go of his hand with satisfaction.

"Very good, just three days. If you have not completed my request after three days, you can forget about getting the antidote."

"Also, remember, the reason I spared your life is because you look so similar to Yan'er. If you don't obey, I can take off your face at any time and put it on someone else who obeys."

After saying that, he turned and left without caring about Fuling who fell to the ground and gasped for breath.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Lengfeng and Liefeng knelt on the ground, ready to be punished.

"I am incompetent and lost the person. Please punish me, Your Majesty." The two said in unison.

Gu Beihuai looked at them coldly, his expression remained calm without any ripples.

He had expected this, but he didn't expect the other party to be so cunning.

His knuckles tapped lightly on the table, making a dull, suppressed sound.

"Where did you lose the person?"

Leng Feng answered truthfully, "Cold Palace."

Gu Beihuai frowned slightly, then he understood.

"The cold palace has been unattended for many years. It is messy and complicated. It is indeed a good hiding place."

Shen Qingyan had just come out of the shower when she heard his words.

"Your Majesty, has that person gone into hiding in the cold palace?"

Shen Qingyan's long hair was half dry, hanging softly in front of her chest or behind her head. She was wearing a white cotton dress, which made her look gentle and quiet, dignified and beautiful, with an indescribable softness.

Leng Fengliefeng immediately lowered his head quickly, not daring to look at him any longer.

Gu Beihuai's eyes suddenly became deep. He turned to look at Leng Fengliefeng and gave orders in a cold voice.

"Thoroughly search the cold palace. If you can't find any clues, you will be punished."

"Yes."

The two men retreated quickly as if they had been pardoned.

Gu Beihuai then looked at Shen Qingyan, his eyes instantly filled with tenderness. He took the towel from Qingmei's hand and wiped her wet hair.

"Why did you come out before your hair was dry? Be careful not to catch a cold."

Shen Qingyan took the handkerchief and said seriously: "Your Majesty, there is no need to trouble Your Majesty with such a small matter."

Gu Beihuai refused and continued to wipe her hair.

"You are my wife, what's wrong with doing this?"

wife?

Shen Qingyan felt a little warm in her heart and a little touched.

Ever since she entered the palace, she knew that no matter how much Gu Beihuai loved her, he was not her only one. He had Tianfeng Kingdom and its people in his heart. Although she was a concubine, to put it bluntly, she was just Gu Beihuai's concubine.

She never tried hard to become the queen, because she knew that the queen must be someone of a matching status. She was the daughter of a criminal, and if she became the queen she would only be reviled and put Gu Beihuai in a difficult position.

But he never thought that in Gu Beihuai's heart, she had already taken the position of his wife.

"But……"

"Yan'er, I know what you want to say."

Gu Beihuai was still helping her wipe her hair, but his tone was even gentler than his actions.

"We are husband and wife, just like ordinary couples in the folks. Moreover... my goal from the beginning was to have both the kingdom and the beauty."

Shen Qingyan laughed silently and did not reject his action anymore. She felt even warmer in her heart.

"Okay, then the emperor is my husband, my only husband."

Gu Beihuai nodded, and then realized that she couldn't see, so he stood up and kissed her forehead, giving her a sense of security.

Before the moon rose above the treetops, Gu Chenan returned to Yunlian Palace.

Yu Hongyan had been waiting for a long time and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw him return safely.

"Shun'an, why are you back so late?"

Gu Chen'an looked at the palace maids waiting on both sides and respectfully presented the clothes in his hand.

"My dear, the clothes have been washed."

Yu Hongyan understood what he meant. She coughed lightly and said in a pretentious manner, "Put it in my closet."

The two of them turned and entered the room. Just as the maidservant was about to follow them, Yu Hongyan said impatiently, "Why are you following me? Where are the hot water and cakes I ordered?"

Several palace maids looked at each other and hurried downstairs to prepare.

So only Yu Hongyan and Gu Chenan were left in the room.

Before Gu Chenan could say anything, Yu Hongyan's slender hands had already hooked around his neck.

"How's it going? Huh?"

When dry wood meets fire, there will naturally be a blaze of fire.

Lengfeng and Liefeng led people to search the cold palace for an entire night.

During this time, he was tripped by gravel and weeds in the cold palace three times, frightened by the weird giggles of the crazy concubine four times, and was hugged and called "Emperor" five times...

After all the trouble, no clues were found, but they spent the whole night guarding against the crazy concubines like they were guarding against thieves.
