Daliang, the palace.

Bai Yanli and Tang Wanru were arranged to live in the Yumo Palace of the Imperial Palace. This was the first time they lived together since the beginning of the cool weather.

Before, when they were in the Qiao Mansion, the two of them had always lived separately because of their identity issues.

When Bai Yanli came back, he saw Tang Wanru talking to Qing Ling for a few words, and then assigned work to several maids arranged by Ning Zhuo.

The maids didn't seem to be at all awkward when they saw Tang Wanru. They called out to her in a very friendly way, saying, "We know you're the Prince's Consort," and then turned around and left happily.

That familiar look made Bai Yanli feel as if he was the only outsider...

After he came to Liangdu, he was actively trying to find Ning Zhuo...

Unexpectedly, it was still a step slower.

The Dark Domain is indeed extraordinary.

Seeing Tang Wanru chatting with a maid with a smile, Bai Yanli walked over and coughed. The maid quickly put away her smile, bowed to him and left.

Tang Wanru stood there and looked at him.

Bai Yanli was a little dissatisfied with himself for being a step slower in finding someone, so he leaned over to Tang Wanru and asked, "Do you know her well?"

"How come I'm the Queen's son, but I don't seem to adapt as quickly as you do?"

His tone was full of jealousy.

"Tell me the truth." Bai Yanli was good at investigating secretly. If he asked some questions directly, others would think he was incompetent. But at this moment, he could not care less. So he approached and asked tentatively, "Did you enter the palace before me? What kind of relationship did you rely on to get in?"

This should be acknowledged, right?

This time, she couldn’t escape her identity as the Dark Lord of the Dark Realm.

Unexpectedly, Tang Wanru seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a sweet smile: "Saint, don't you know about this?"

"The Queen brought me into the palace when she made me a saint, so I know this place better than you do." She squinted her eyes and smiled, "But it was really boring to enter the palace alone at that time. I would rather enter the palace with you." After that, she waved his hand.

What a lovely and coquettish look.

Bai Yanli really couldn't do anything with her.

He couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only scratch her upturned nose with his hand.

Little clever ghost, after so long, she still has a new identity that he can't understand, and she still has her own little thoughts hidden.

But that’s okay.

He loved uncovering secrets about her.

"I paid. What did you tell Qing Ling to do just now?" Bai Yanli asked. He clearly saw that she arranged Qing Ling first.

"Although we have entered the palace, there is still a lot to do." Tang Wanru said when she saw that there was no one around, "Last time Zhou Ziyue escaped by using poison gas, I asked Qing Ling to investigate the poison of Wumen in detail."

poison?

Bai Yanli frowned slightly.

Qiao Mansion, late at night.

Emperor Zhou had another nightmare. This time he dreamed that he beat Ning Zhuo to death, and no one came to save her, but she died in front of him.

He had killed her by hitting her with a candlestick.

She was lying on the ground with a bloody hole on her forehead where he had smashed her.

He knelt there, his hands shaking with regret.

he did not do it on purpose.

He didn't think of beating her to death!

He just asked her not to betray him.

But somehow, he seemed unable to control himself. When he thought that she might be with someone else, he couldn't help but take action!

And now she died just like that, and he felt so heartbroken that he wished he was dead.

"Azhuo, Azhuo, wake up, don't scare me!" He threw away the blood-stained candlestick in his hand, knelt there and shouted in fear.

What no one expected was that Ning Zhuo, who was lying on the ground and obviously dead, actually sat up from the pool of blood. Not only did he sit up, but his eyes widened, and before Emperor Zhou could react, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his neck.

Emperor Zhou didn't expect that she would suddenly come back to life, and he didn't expect that she would suddenly attack him.

At this moment, fear filled his whole body. Looking at the woman in front of him who had been beaten to a bloody mess by him, the hatred in her eyes almost drowned him. Emperor Zhou said tremblingly: "Azhuo, what are you going to do?"

Ning Zhuo's eyes were bleeding. It was as if her hard work had been wasted. She said, "Zhou Heng, you murderer!"

"I followed you here far away from home, but I didn't expect to be treated like this by you!" Blood flowed down her bloody face.

It was like a bright and terrifying flower blooming on her face.

Emperor Zhou was stunned. He remembered that he didn't hit her so hard when he killed her. Why was she bleeding so much now?

That look made him both terrified and distressed.

The regret hidden deep in his heart, which he had deliberately concealed, was finally aroused. He was shaking with fear, and he stretched out his hand to wipe the blood off her face, saying, "Azhuo, I was wrong. I am sorry for you. I shouldn't have hit you, let alone beat you. Please forgive me, please forgive me."

"Forgive?" Ning Zhuo sneered and asked, "Are you really asking for my forgiveness? You don't trust me. Even if I explain a thousand times, it will be useless. You are a selfish, cruel and bloodthirsty king. Even if I am alive now, you will still beat me to death!"

"You don't deserve other people's feelings!" She glared at him fiercely, "You don't deserve my love! Following you to Da Zhou is the biggest mistake of my life!"

The word "mistake" pierced his heart like two thorns.

Her total denial of everything they had done before made Emperor Zhou feel extremely distressed.

"Azhuo, it's not like that. I love you too much and I'm afraid of losing you, so I use this method to keep you. Please forgive me, please forgive me."

Ning Zhuo's hand loosened, and she looked at him coldly: "Didn't you say that I had an affair with someone else's man?"

"Let me tell you, even if there was no Ran, I would not stay with you anymore." After saying that, Ning Zhuo suddenly stood up and slammed his head against the table.

Seeing his lover commit suicide was more shocking than being beaten to death by him, and Emperor Zhou let out a terrified roar.

“Azhuo——!”

"A Zhuo!"

Once again, Emperor Zhou suddenly woke up from his dream.

He looked around. This time he woke up earlier than last time. The room was dark and no one was there.

"Li Bo? Li Bo?" Emperor Zhou tried calling twice, but no one answered.

He didn't call again.

He was still very uneasy in his heart, and the image of Ning Zhuo's death was still in his mind.

Others may not know, but Emperor Zhou himself knows it very well.

He felt sorry for Ning Zhuo.

The harm he caused Ning Zhuo was far greater than the harm she caused him when she cheated on him with someone else.

It's just that he himself refuses to admit it.
