After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

"You're talking nonsense!!!"

"From the beginning to the end, you forced your own father to death, murdered your wife and abused your children, and caused enmity between your brother and sister, all for the sake of a non-existent person, and ended up in this miserable state today!"

Wei Ju's eyes were bloodshot, and he held his head and yelled at Wei Lan, "You lied to me! Zhen'er is real, how could she not exist? I kissed her, touched her, everything about her was so real, she even smiled at me, cried to me..."

A line of tears flowed from the corners of Wei Ju's eyes, which were dirty and covered with thick film.

In response, he was met with Wei Lan's sympathetic gaze.

Wei Ju was startled suddenly, and then as if his spirit was drained out, he retreated dully, step by step.

"The imperial physician said that when hysteria is severe, everything imagined in the mind will become more and more real..."

"Impossible... Impossible... You are lying to me... I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."

"At this point, is there any point for me to lie to you?"

"I just want you to know clearly before you die."

There was silence in the air for a moment, and then a roar of pain broke out.

"Do not!!"

Wei Ju's psychological defenses completely collapsed. His self-proclaimed will and reason collapsed in the face of this fact. He knelt on the ground in pain, holding his head, and scratched his face with his hands, leaving a trail of bloody marks.

Jane is fake...

There has never been a person named Zhen'er in this world...

So who is he?

What does his love and hate mean?

What does all he did count?

Wei Ju was enveloped in endless pain. The blood and flesh he had dug out on his face could no longer compensate for the pain. He began to bang his head against the wall like a madman, and couldn't stop roaring like a wild beast.

Seeing this, Wei Lan swallowed and took two steps back.

In the darkness, Zhao Ying watched Wei Ju go crazy with an expressionless face.

My heart was filled with joy.

Wei Ju, how dare you rape and harm Zhao Ying's daughter?

How dare you harm her own brother and massacre her entire Zhao family!

A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, right?

Then she cut open his heart and poured out boiling water.

Everything he thought and did was for Wei Zhen. For Wei Zhen, he would never regret his actions, and he would not feel any pain even when being tortured. Wei Zhen was his belief, so she might as well let Wei Zhen not exist.

Once his faith collapses, every day of his life from now on will be filled with unbearable pain!

Wei Ju would not believe this lie no matter who told it, except Wei Lan.

Sure enough, he believed it.

Wei Ju's roar filled his ears. After a long time, even the smell of blood could be smelled. Zhao Ying had achieved his goal and didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and left.

And every day after that, the news coming from the Ministry of Justice Prison was so encouraging.

Wei Ju is crazy...

Wei Ju self-mutilated...

Wei Ju begged for mercy...

Wei Ju cried bitterly...

After hearing this, Emperor Jianxi, Empress Xiaomin, and Zhao Xi finally felt relieved from the anger that was pent up in their hearts.

Wei Lan came and left in a hurry. After finishing his work, he left again.

Before leaving, he secretly told Zhao Ying that the bottle of blood was not snake blood, he was just teasing them.

Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly realized something.

But Wei Lan had already gone far away.

Emperor Jianxi held a grand banquet to enthronement Prince Ding, giving Zhao Xi enough respect.

Empress Xiaomin was busy making things difficult for Shangguan Shu.

Shangguan Shu came of course, and not only him, but also Shangguan Dan, and more unexpectedly, Shangguan Zhu, who had been demoted for a long time, was also there.

Shangguan Shu's eyes flashed, and the next second, he really saw Shangguan Zhu walking towards Zhao Xi.

He threw a glance at Zhao Ying, and a hint of coldness flashed in Zhao Ying's eyes.

Afterwards, Zhao Xi pleaded for Shangguan Zhu to Emperor Jianxi. He pleaded for his beloved son, and Emperor Jianxi was still worried about how to build up power for Zhao Xi. Then Shangguan Zhu came. Emperor Jianxi was naturally happy to see it happen. He restored Shangguan Zhu's official position in public and promoted him half a level. He was the second rank before, but now he is the first rank.

The old Duke came out to express his gratitude and took Shangguan Zhu back.

Shangguan Zhu sat down next to Shangguan Shu and said, "Brother, how are you?"

Shangguan Shu sneered without even looking at him, "How dare you go against me?"

"Brother, why do you say that? Prince Ding is the princess's brother. As a younger brother, I serve under Prince Ding. How can I go against you, brother?"

Shangguan Shu drank a glass of wine, chuckled, his eyes shining, "Let me guess, why does Prince Ding want you..."

"You led people to Qianlong Valley, and happened to meet Zhao Xi's escaped men. You learned everything from them, so you controlled those men and surrendered to Prince Ding."

"Brother, do you admit that you sent someone to 'notify' me?"

Shangguan Zhu took a sip and looked very proud. "It was thanks to my brother's secret guards that they arrived a step late that those people fell into my hands."

"Without them, I can't do anything?"

"Hmph, big brother, for the sake of our brotherhood, I'll advise you not to be a person who is not tolerated by the world. It is the general trend for Prince Ding to be crowned as the crown prince. If for no other reason, even for the princess..."

Shangguan Shu's face was grim. He interrupted him and warned, "Everything you and I thought about before, just keep it to yourself."

Shangguan Zhu frowned, somewhat displeased, "You don't need to warn me, I understand!" At last he muttered, "You are the one who doesn't understand, I don't understand why you want to go against Prince Ding, he is the princess's biological brother!"

As he said this, he looked up and saw the brother and sister Zhao Ying and Zhao Xi talking and laughing happily, looking very harmonious.

Shangguan Shu just turned his head and glanced at him with a smile. Shangguan Zhu snorted coldly, and then Shangguan Shu said, "Since you know everything, and know that Zhao Xi's original name was Shao Yihui, then do you know that Shao Yihui had a beloved wife named Qi Dongqiang?"

"Of course I know!" He not only knew Qi Dongqiang, but also knew that Qi Dongqiang kidnapped Shangguan Qingyue, which led to the beheading of his entire family.

He asked in surprise, "You don't hold a grudge against Prince Shang Ding because Qi Dongqiang kidnapped Yue'er, do you?"

Shangguan Shu sneered, turned his head, and said, "Do you know how Qi Dongqiang died?"

Shangguan Zhu frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

The next second, Shangguan Shu lowered his voice and said, "Yue'er killed him."

"what?!"

Shangguan Zhu struck with a loud bang.

The Shangguan father and his two sons were sitting down, and all the officials and ladies in the hall also took their seats accordingly, but gradually, several people felt that something was wrong.

They seem to be isolated.

No one is sitting next to me...

Each one is still far away from them.

Shangguan Shu naturally ignored all this. Shangguan Zhu was so shocked by the news that he couldn't recover. Only Shangguan Dan looked left and right and exchanged glances with the equally confused old Duke.

"Dad, what's going on?"

Old Duke: "I don't know either..."

Then they knew.

Shangguan Dan looked at his subordinate Zhang Liao who came in from the door, along with his wife and teenage boy. He waved at them, "Come and sit down!"

Zhang Liao smiled and led the child over, but was stopped by his wife. Zhang Liao looked back and saw his wife winking at him and pulling him to sit opposite her. Zhang Liao was very henpecked, so he went with her.

When leaving, he did not forget to ask, "What are you doing?"

Madam mumbled, but her voice reached the ears of the Shangguan father and son and the other three without missing a word. "We have a son of marriageable age, how dare you sit with the Zhenguo Mansion? Everyone in the capital knows the bad luck of the Zhenguo Mansion. The prince was divorced, and one of the two illegitimate sons got syphilis and was divorced, and the other got involved with a pig demon and is now a bachelor."

"Even the old Duke... I heard that the old Duke is the most unlucky. Not only did his wife die, but his concubine was also beaten to death for having an affair... I am doing this for my brother's good. Don't let him get involved in the bad luck of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and be divorced by his wife in the future and become a bachelor!"

The Shangguan father and his four sons: ...
