Chapter 168 Sacrifice for Love
Yuemei stared at Anshenxiang with eyes wide open, fear in her eyes, and tears suddenly streamed down her face.

"Deng Qiqi doesn't need any calming incense. Please don't give it to him. If you think Deng Qiqi is annoying, I will take him away right now."

Wei Luoyan kicked Yuemei and said, "It seems that you know this thing is poisonous. Tell me, was it you who poisoned it?"

Yuemei gritted her teeth and kept crying, not daring to speak any more. When she paused, Shuda had already entered the room.

After a while, Shuda came out with the clothes swept away.

"Sir, Deng Qiqi wanted to make trouble, but was knocked unconscious by a subordinate. The calming incense has been lit."

Yuemei bit her lip in despair, her eyes fixed on the room where Deng Qiqi was.

Wei Luoyan looked down at Yuemei coldly, "This young master doesn't have that much patience, tell me everything you know."

Yuemei felt that she could not escape death, and there was a hint of struggle in her eyes.

"Sir, if I confess, can I go in and see Deng Qiqi?"

"Humph, you are really affectionate, really different from your master." Wei Luoyan smiled bitterly to himself, "You are allowed to go in."

Yuemei told everyone everything she knew with a dull look in her eyes. After she finished, the heavy weight in her heart suddenly disappeared and she felt a lot more relaxed.

However, those stones were transferred to Wei Luoyan's chest. When Wei Luoyan heard the last part, he felt his chest getting heavier and it was difficult for him to breathe.

The calming incense in the room is about to burn out.

Deng Qiqi woke up in pain with blood coming out of all his orifices. He howled and writhes in agony. Smelling a familiar fragrance, Deng Qiqi subconsciously opened his mouth to breathe, but his body felt more and more painful.

Why didn’t smelling the scent work this time?

"Help……"

Yuemei rushed into the room and screamed in shock when she saw Deng Qiqi's miserable condition.

Shuda stood outside the house and looked at Deng Qiqi, then turned around and told Wei Luoyan everything he had seen.

"Sir, it's a good thing you didn't use that calming incense." Shuda wanted to scold Ji Yunchu, but seeing that Wei Luoyan's face was getting worse and worse, he didn't dare to speak to anger Wei Luoyan.

Wei Luoyan clutched the collar of his shirt tightly, and all the events of his present and past lives flashed clearly before his eyes, making him unable to tell where he was for a moment.

"Shuda, am I wrong?"

Wei Luoyan's pupils were confused. He always thought that he couldn't leave the sachet because he missed Ji Yunchu. However, he didn't expect that what he missed was the poison in the sachet. He was poisoned and missed the fragrance all the time.

But if he hadn't fallen in love with Ji Yunchu, why did he feel so painful in his heart?

Wei Luoyan had a splitting headache and fell down heavily.

"Young Master!" Shuda was shocked and called for help.

At this time, Deng Qiqi in the room begged Yuemei to kill him.

"Instead of letting me die in agony, why don't you give me a quick death? Yuemei, please do it now!"

Yuemei tightly grasped the dagger in her hand. The dagger was thrown in by the guards outside the door because of the noise, but she couldn't bear to see Deng Qiqi die.

"Just bear with it for now. If you can get through this, maybe it will be fine."

Deng Qiqi didn't want to listen to Yuemei's nonsense. "Don't you have me in your heart? Then listen to me and do it! What kind of person am I if I live like this in a cowardly way?"

Yuemei's eyes continued to be red and tears continued, "No... No, in my heart, you have always been a good person, you just went astray."

She originally thought that there was no love between her and Deng Qiqi, but it was just a coincidence that the poisonous incense turned into a love poison when it met the wine, and the two were bewitched by the love poison.

Yuemei tried to convince herself like this every day, but she couldn't deceive herself in the end.

"Deng Qiqi, when you get through this, we will fly far away and leave the capital forever."

Deng Qiqi was slightly stunned. He felt Yuemei's sincerity towards him, a sincerity he did not see in Ji Qinqin. Unfortunately, it was too late. "Silly, you are just a lowly maid, only fit to warm my bed. The reason why I took a concubine is only because I was down and out and no woman was willing to be with me. I need a woman to vent my feelings."

Yuemei couldn't believe it, her lips trembling as she said, "You...you actually look down on me like this."

Deng Qiqi took advantage of Yuemei's distraction, grabbed the dagger in Yuemei's hand and stabbed himself in the heart, with a large amount of blood flowing out of his mouth.

"Yuemei, run away... I'm sorry..." Deng Qiqi didn't have the strength to utter the last word. He fell in a pool of blood with his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the roof.

Yuemei was stunned for a moment, then she lay on Deng Qiqi and burst into tears. Her indenture contract was held tightly in Ji Yunchu's hand. Where could she run?

……

The palace invited an imperial physician to give Wei Luoyan acupuncture, and Wei Luoyan was able to breathe smoothly.

Shuda walked into the room with a serious expression and said, "Sir, Miss Yuemei and Deng Qiqi are gone. It seems that they committed suicide."

Recalling Deng Qiqi's miserable condition, Shuda couldn't help but worry whether Wei Luoyan would also commit suicide because he couldn't bear the pain when the poison took effect in the future.

Wei Luoyan sighed softly, it was rare for him to be so compassionate.

"Buy two coffins and bury them."

The news that Nanhou Mansion ordered someone to buy a coffin in private soon reached Ji Anyu's ears.

"Princess, I heard it was a boy and a girl. Yue Mei was taken to Nanhou Mansion this day and has not come out yet."

Qiao Xin was in low spirits. "Could that woman be Yue Mei? Yue Mei used to work with me in the Duke's Mansion. When she first entered the mansion, she lived in the same room with me."

Ji Anyu wiped her freshly washed hair and said, "Wei Luoyan actually asked people to prepare coffins for them? This is really unlike Wei Luoyan's style. Something must have happened to him."

Qiao Xin shook her head and said, "Our people can't get inside."

Ji Anyu curled her hair with her fingers and lowered her eyelashes, not knowing what she was thinking.

"If my lady wants to know, why don't you come and ask me? It just so happens that my people were at the scene of the incident."

Qiao Xin smiled secretly, put down the work in her hands and went out to give Shen Jing and Ji Anyu some space alone.

Ji Anyu happily pulled Shen Jing to sit down and put her hands on Shen Jing's shoulders to massage him.

"My husband is busy with important things. I didn't expect that he still has time to pay attention to my affairs. I am deeply flattered. My husband, what news have you heard? I want to know."

Shen Jing grabbed Ji Anyu with his backhand and pulled her onto his legs.

"Ji Yunchu was desperate and mixed a large amount of Qingxiang with the calming incense. She wanted to poison Wei Luoyan with a stick of incense, but she didn't expect that Wei Luoyan would not be able to use it. Instead, it gave Deng Qiqi the poison. Deng Qiqi couldn't bear the pain and committed suicide. Yuemei was right beside him and also committed suicide for love."

"I see." Ji Anyu was surprised that Yuemei actually cared about Deng Qiqi.

"Wei Luoyan still has some feelings for Ji Yunchu. If Yuemei doesn't die, I think Wei Luoyan will give Yuemei to Ji Yunchu. By then, Yuemei will be disabled if she doesn't die."

Shen Jing rubbed Ji Anyu's hand and nodded. Seeing that Ji Anyu looked slightly dazed, he straightened Ji Anyu's body and the two of them stayed close together.

"My lady, are you soft-hearted? This is just the beginning. More people will die in the future."

"It's not that I'm soft-hearted, I just feel that human life is fragile and we only have one." Not everyone can be as lucky as her to be reborn.

Ji Anyu stroked Shen Jing's handsome face.

"Ajing, you must live well." At least he should wait until she has a child before dying.

"With my wife by my side, how can I bear to die early?"

Shen Jing sucked on Ji Anyu's lower lip, and his hands started to move inappropriately.
