After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Her heart was numb from the pain, her whole body was aching, her abdomen was aching too. In comparison, the pain from the slap didn't hurt at all. She put down her hand that was covering her cheek and smiled foolishly, "Didn't finish it? Qin Yongpei, I didn't promise to kill people in public! It was you who arranged for the maid's assassination to fail, and now I have to bear the charge of attempted murder for you!"

"Then what did you promise? To prove that Wen Qian was a fake? Did you prove it? Tong Wanzhen, how could there be two identical people in this world? Oh, you want to say that she was wearing a human skin mask. Do you think the Wen family is really blind and brainless? How do you think Wen Changling got to where he is today? Besides, use your own brain and think about it. If you were a fake, would you not think about being cautious and not revealing any flaws? Instead, you would do the opposite and want to announce to the world that you are two different people?"

"Tong Wanzhen, there are no vengeful water ghosts in this world, only living people who have climbed up from hell...Wen Qian's personality changed drastically because you forced her to do so. She hid things from you because she never regarded you as her confidant. Tong Wanzhen, you are the only one who is naive. You think you are the smartest in the world and everyone is just an ant in your hands, at your mercy." Qin Yongpei lowered his eyes and looked at the person who used to sleep with him. His eyes were far away, and he sighed softly after a while. "Today, there is nothing to say between you and me. If you behave yourself, I will spare your life for our past friendship. If you still cause trouble, Tong Wanzhen, even I can't protect you."

"The heir to the throne is not your permanent amulet. You should take care of yourself."

After Qin Yongpei finished speaking, he left with a wave of his sleeves, leaving Tong Wanzhen kneeling on the ground, one hand on her abdomen, smiling foolishly: Causing trouble? Even though there was no one around, he still righteously pushed all the mistakes onto her, which was really... watertight.

After Qin Yongpei left, two more guards were placed at the gate of the courtyard, and the few masters and servants in the courtyard were confined there. The guards said that food, drink and shopping would be delivered to the courtyard every day, and no one in the courtyard was allowed to leave the courtyard. As for how long the confinement would last, His Highness did not say, and they did not know.

When the maid reported this, Tong Wanzhen just curled her lips and whispered "got it" before letting the person go. However, she already knew in her heart that there would be no day of lifting the ban... Qin Yongpei wanted to keep her here forever. Only in this way could he give an explanation to the Kejing Marquis' Mansion and the Wen family, an explanation that would be enough for him to get himself out of this situation cleanly. Only by locking her up in this yard forever would Qin Yongpei feel at ease.

……

That night, news came from the Second Prince's Mansion that Tong Wanzhen's unborn baby was gone.

After the imperial physician's diagnosis, Tong Wanzhen's pulse was strange and the fetus was unstable. In addition, she was too stimulated today, which led to the miscarriage. When the maid heard this, she didn't know whether she was worried about being questioned or afraid, and blurted out "impossible", saying that Tong Wanzhen had been taking pregnancy-preserving drugs, and the doctor also said that the fetus in her pregnancy was normal, so how could it be strange? After saying this, she also found the previous prescription.

The imperial physician was furious when he saw it, and asked which unscrupulous doctor had prescribed such a poisonous drug that would consume one's essence and shorten one's lifespan, so how could one keep a baby safe? After repeated questioning, he learned from Tong Wanzhen's former personal maid that Tong Wanzhen had ruined her body from drinking bowl after bowl of contraceptive soup, and ordinary doctors could not help her conceive. However, this "unscrupulous doctor" had already explained that this folk prescription would harm one's body and shorten one's lifespan, and that Tong Wanzhen was determined to have a son and become famous.

It's a case of reaping what one has sown.

When the news reached the Kejing Marquis's residence, Yuan Ge sighed after hearing it, "I thought she got what she wanted, but now it seems that she has lost everything."

"How can you possibly get what you want when you've done so much evil?" Xu Chengjin, who had come over to drink after receiving Song Wenyuan's "verbal instruction", smiled at Song Wenyuan in an almost flattering manner, then restrained his smile and said, "There is always a destiny in the cause and effect of this world, and harming others will ultimately harm yourself."

It sounded quite Zen-like. Yuan Ge was a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked over. He saw Xu Chengjin had already revealed his secret with a grin, "I went to Jingchen for a drink two days ago. The monk talked so hard that my ears hurt. He talked for more than an hour and said that I was not as enlightened as Song Wenyuan... I don't want to become a monk, so what do I need enlightenment for?"

Yuan Ge was surprised, "You want to have a drink with Jingchen?"

Previously, Song Wenyuan asked the abbot to catch fish and make porridge, and now Xu Chengjin was drinking and listening to Zen scriptures. Jingchen did not drive these two people out. His temper is really very good.

"Yeah." Xu Chengjin took it for granted. "Originally, I wanted to look for Jin Yunian, but this kid has been like a possessed man and refused to drink with me recently. He even told me seriously that when he was young in the world, he didn't seek to defend his country and stain the territory with blood, but to establish a career to support his family and protect his wife and children... His enthusiasm for turning over a new leaf was probably influenced by Miss Zhong. Jingchen should get along well with him." To Xu Chengjin, who was determined to end the Xu family tree in his lifetime, these words of defending his country and protecting his wife and children were more terrifying than listening to Jingchen's Buddhist Zen sayings.

After Xu Chengjin finished speaking, he still shook his head and sighed, "This good second-generation rich kid is actually holding the Four Books and Five Classics and nodding his head all day long, like an old pedant. He can't even be called to drink or eat."

Song Wenyuan shook his head and laughed, but said, "It doesn't matter, I can't hold on for a few days."

Xu Chengjin was slightly stunned. "Are you talking about Tong Wanzhen or Jin Yunian?"

"It's all the same." Song Wenyuan held the wine glass but didn't drink. He only picked up some food for Yuan Ge and said, "Yu Nian is smart, kind and clever, but he has a fickle temper. He is just in high spirits now, and he won't obey discipline after a while. As for the illegitimate child of the Tong family, Qin Yongpei tolerated her because she was pregnant. Now that the child is gone, her value is gone, and I'm afraid she will die in a few days."

After all, this illegitimate child is not someone who is obedient and easy to control. I'm afraid he must have found a lot of leverage over Qin Yongpei over the past few days.

"She didn't get a good hand to begin with, and she played it badly. If I were her, I would cling to Wen Qian tightly, and I wouldn't have to spend my own money on food and drinks when I go out. Wouldn't that be more comfortable than the life we ​​have now?" Xu Chengjin glanced at Yuan Ge, implying something. "However, for Miss Wen, if these things hadn't happened, there would be no Wen Qian now, right?"

This sounded reasonable, but for some reason, it sounded strange. Song Wenyuan glanced at Xu Chengjin, but he didn't notice anything. In the end, just like every time before, he covered up all the vague clues.
