With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

"Since you have such methods, why did you have to deal with us in the first place?" Pei Hui couldn't help but ask. With such methods, there was no need for her to deal with them in the early stages; she could have just taken action directly.

"Just to make you happy, to let you experience what it's like to go from the celestial realm to hell." Azhen said in a nonchalant tone, but that wasn't all; she needed to take advantage of the situation to do something else.

For example, this could lure the Qin family into the scheme, causing them to lose themselves in the midst of prosperity.

For example, saving Kiku from dying in childbirth.

For example, many princes in this dynasty are selfish and lack a sense of the big picture, and are not capable of shouldering great responsibilities. Since Pei Hui cannot ascend to the throne, she needs to find someone who can succeed him.

As an immortal being, she herself is not afraid of karma, but she wouldn't disregard the life or death of the small world just to complete a mission. Besides, karma can't affect her, but it can affect the client.

The client is a good person, so it would be unfortunate if he were to suffer because of this.

Pei Ling was the person she had chosen, and she was very satisfied with him. He was legitimate, capable, and had a good character, making him far superior to Pei Hui.

"Don't try to die. You won't die until you've experienced what you're meant to experience." After saying this, Azhen ordered her people to escort Pei Hui and the other three out. "I've prepared a surprise for you. You'll find out later."

The four people felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this; they had no desire for any surprises whatsoever.

"Is there really no other way?" After leaving the mansion, Pei Hui and the other three gathered in a carriage and discussed in hushed tones. It was not in his nature to sit and wait for death.

As long as you're alive, you have to struggle, even if you know the hope is slim.

Shen Si'an was in a daze: "Qin Zhen's methods are no different from those of a god. What can we do? I should never have offended her."

"I should have known sooner. Qin Zhen has such a powerful constitution, how could she be a mortal! She must be a reincarnated immortal! What good can come of offending such a being? If only I hadn't provoked her, I could have been given a second chance at life. As long as I don't go to brothels, my body will definitely not get sick. And as the heir of a marquis's family, I should have lived a life of wealth and honor..." The more Shen Si'an spoke, the more regretful he became, and he was on the verge of collapse.

Pei Hui ignored Shen Si'an's emotional breakdown; the other party was just a spoiled brat and couldn't be relied on.

"What are your thoughts?" he asked Mo Ying and Ye Shuangzhou, because in his opinion, neither of them would sit idly by and wait for what was to come.

Mo Ying said, "I can't think of any way. Qin Zhen's methods are unpredictable, and a direct confrontation is definitely not an option."

“But we can give it a try,” Ye Shuangzhou replied. “To deal with her, we’ll probably need to find her weakness.”

“She does have one weakness,” Pei Hui said. “She probably doesn’t care about the Qin family, but Cui Ying is someone she cares about quite a bit.”

“When I took her away, we stayed at the home of a farming couple. Qin Zhen even helped deliver the baby of that woman named Aju. Capturing them might give us some control,” Mo Ying said.

“Then let’s do it this way, all parties will act simultaneously,” Pei Hui decided.

What they didn't know was that A-Zhuang could see all their actions through the Pregnancy System.

The moment they made that decision, they were overcome with abdominal pain.

At the same time, the voice of the Pregnancy System rang in their minds. The Pregnancy System didn't want to say anything, but it was now in a helpless situation like Pei Hui and the others. It could only follow Azhen's wishes and warn Pei Hui that Ye Shuangzhou and Mo Ying should behave themselves, or endless torment awaited them.

Shen Si'an, who wasn't involved in the incident and was still devastated, escaped punishment this time.

When the pain subsided, the group was soaked in sweat, having experienced firsthand Qin Zhen's prowess.

At this point, Azhen certainly couldn't let them pull any more tricks; it was pointless. From now on, they just needed to go through what they were meant to go through. Having endured so much torment, the group realized their every move was being monitored, rendering them powerless, and a sense of despair crept in.

Ye Shuangzhou even tried to commit suicide, but it didn't work. At this moment, he was truly plunged into endless fear, experiencing what it meant to be afraid, to suffer, to be in unbearable pain, and to feel like he was living a life worse than death. It was even more unbearable than his experience in his first life.

But you have to endure it all.

"Your time is almost up, what will happen then..." Ye Shuangzhou suddenly remembered this and asked Pei Hui.

Pei Hui looked at his abdomen, feeling utterly hopeless.

How did he know that?

"Don't worry, host, I will help you in time." The voice of the Pregnancy System rang out, seemingly to solve Pei Hui's problem, but it made Pei Hui even more desperate. This meant that he really had to experience everything that Qin Zhen had experienced in her second life, and even if it was painless, he could not accept it.

“Miss Qin, I plan to return to Medicine King Valley. It’s time to make Master’s ordeal public. We can’t let Master’s suffering continue to be hidden.” That day, Jiang Xun came to Azhen to say goodbye, but after saying this, he added, “I’ll come back after I’ve finished my business.”

Facing Azhen's smiling gaze, his face flushed slightly. Suddenly remembering that he was still wearing a disguise, he quickly tore off the mask, revealing a handsome face—the kind you couldn't forget after seeing it. Pei Hui and the others, including Pei Ling, were all quite good-looking, but they were really no match for Jiang Xun.

“I used a mask to walk around before because of some things, but now that things are more or less settled, there’s no need for it anymore.” Jiang Xun noticed that Azhen was looking at his face, and he was still a little happy. His face was indeed easy to attract people when it was exposed. “The name is real.”

After all, Ye Shuangzhou didn't know him back then, so there was no need for him to hide his identity.

"Okay," Azhen said, "Go early and come back early."

This is… Jiang Xun’s eyes lit up. He realized he could follow her from now on, and he was overjoyed. He wished he could fly to Medicine King Valley, resolve the matter quickly, and return.

When Pei Ling arrived, he saw an extremely handsome man standing in front of Azhen, his eyes filled with Azhen's image, and he was momentarily stunned.

This man is really handsome; he's a perfect match for Miss Qin.

Jiang Xun didn't say much, nodded to Pei Ling, and walked outside. He thought it was an acquaintance greeting, but as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he heard Pei Ling's voice from inside. An ordinary person probably wouldn't be able to hear it clearly, but he was highly skilled in martial arts and heard it perfectly.

Pei Ling coughed and teased, "Miss Qin, is your good news coming soon? I thought you and Doctor Jiang were getting married..."

The words were unfinished, but everyone understood.

Before Azhen could speak, he continued, "This young master is truly an outstanding person, and he is a perfect match for Miss Qin."

"Although Doctor Jiang is highly skilled in medicine and powerful in martial arts, his appearance is still somewhat lacking, cough cough..." He looks rather old. Someone like Miss Qin truly deserves better. It's not that Pei Ling is being sarcastic, but he genuinely feels that Jiang Xun's ordinary appearance is not worthy of Miss Qin.

"Your Highness, it's not good to talk about people behind their backs." Jiang Xun returned. He knew he hadn't looked very good before, and to avoid trouble, he had put on a mask to look thirty years old. He wasn't angry, but he needed to come back to prove his identity.

Pei Ling was embarrassed.

Turning around, things became even more awkward.

People in the martial arts world are indeed unreasonable; they don't even show their true faces when they go out! (End of Chapter)
