Ever since Asu Pei Ye returned to the Western Regions, Xu An seemed to have never heard any message from their king. According to Aunt Lan, their Third Prince and the King never met alone. Even if there was something to discuss, the three princes would be summoned to the Handing Palace to discuss it together.

That being said, the relationship between their Third Prince and the King is extremely bad, but Aunt Lan said that the King loved Asu Pei Ye's mother the most, and that's why she was crowned the Queen. Logically speaking, Asu Pei Ye should be the heir. If it hadn't been for that incident, perhaps, he would have been a very happy child.

Xu An lowered her eyes and stared at the man in front of her. Waves of emotion spread in her heart, gradually becoming turbulent. An inexplicable heartache rushed to her throat, making her unable to speak.

It was because she had experienced similar sorrow that she could empathize with him more, but what she had experienced was much better than what he had experienced.

The next day, Xu An woke up from the bed. She only vaguely remembered that she was sitting on the ground holding Asu Pei Ye. They hugged each other and fell asleep together. Then it was already night. After dinner, she never saw the man again.

She twisted her arm and stood up, leaning against the table. Auntie Lan brought the boiled medicine as usual, "Today's medicine is a little hot, Prince Consort, please be careful."

As soon as Xu An reached out to pick it up, he noticed something was wrong. The taste of the medicine was different from before.

She stopped and looked at Auntie Lan, "Auntie Lan, has the prescription for this medicine been changed?"

Auntie Lan was obviously at a loss for words when asked this question. She put down the needle in her hand, looked up and smiled kindly, "I don't know about this either. These are all medicines boiled in the pharmacy."

Xu An lowered his eyes and glanced at the medicine in the bowl. He always felt that the taste was weird.

As soon as she put it down, Auntie Lan spoke up, "This prescription was specially prepared by the Third Prince. Princess, you must drink it while it's hot. If it gets cold, the effect will be weakened."

"Then he really has a heart."

In that case, Xu An didn't hesitate any longer. He raised his head and swallowed the medicine in one go.

After watching her drink it, Aunt Lan lowered her head and quickened her needlework.

"Aunt Lan, Asu Peiye said that you are the person he trusts the most. I think you have paid a lot during that time. You are such a good person, different from others."

Xu An held up his face and watched the woman's every move. These days, Auntie Lan and her were quite familiar with each other. She did not treat Auntie Lan as a servant. Auntie Lan also sewed new clothes for her very seriously, but...

Suddenly, a severe pain crept up from her limbs to Xu An's heart. She felt like countless maggots were wriggling in her body and devouring her internal organs.

"Lan... Auntie Lan..." She was almost speechless. The pain was like thorns piercing through the bones and skin, and electric currents rushed through the nerve endings.

She tried to remove the silver needle to seal the acupuncture point, but she couldn't lift her hand.

"Oh no! Oh no! The princess has been poisoned!" Aunt Lan's shouting made the entire palace tense.

"It's over. If the Third Prince tracks us down, we will all die."

"Tell His Highness quickly! Go find a doctor!"

Everyone was in chaos, but Aunt Lan slowed down her pace and the smile on her lips slowly faded away.

After just a short while, Xu An could no longer speak. She only felt that death was getting closer and closer to her, and she was only one step away from falling into the abyss.

The pain of suffocation caused her limbs to spasm and she fell to the ground.

She doesn't want to die, she wants to live, she hasn't seen her parents yet.

"Xu An!"

The hoarse call was hoarse and dry, and then a pair of hands picked her up.

"Xu An, open your eyes, open your eyes, look at me."

But she could only hear the sounds but could not control her behavior. She tried hard to grab the people around her, but she could not lift her hands. She seemed to be really dying.

"Your Highness! The princess has been poisoned by the Heartbreak Flower!"

Amid the noise, a man spoke in a panic, which frightened everyone so much that their legs went limp.

Anyone who takes the heartbreak flower will die, and there is no antidote in the world.

"Heart-breaking flower..."

Xu An heard the man's frightened and trembling voice, as well as his intermittent breathing.

Then, she felt wetness spreading across her face, as if it was the man's tears.

Everything around her began to become dark. She seemed to be unable to feel the light or the pain. She seemed to be dying.

It turns out that at the last moment of death, there is no feeling of pain...

I haven't left a will, I haven't seen my parents in person, am I going to die?

"I... I, Asu Peiye, am willing to exchange my life for the well-being of the person I love. I am willing to bear the pain for her and stay with her for the rest of my life. I will never regret it."

A trembling and dry voice came into Xu An's ears. There was no thought in her mind, and endless fear shrouded her vision.

Suddenly, it seemed as if the sky was bright, a faint light appeared in front of her eyes, and her internal organs seemed to have returned to calm.

Xu An felt like he was emerging from suffocating water and finally felt the fresh air.

Strangely, she didn't seem to be in pain anymore.

The feeling of coming back from the gates of hell made her open her eyes suddenly, only to see Asu Pei Ye with a pale face and spitting out bright red blood.

"Xu An..." The man hugged her tightly, joyfully but weakly.

She was held in his arms, a little dazed.

At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the house, "Third Prince! Second Prince has rebelled!" The whole palace was filled with the sound of fighting.

There was a melee outside the house. Asu Pei Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and swallowed the blood that was about to overflow from his throat. He endured the pain and cast a spell to conjure up a holy stone.

"Xu An, listen to me. You can go now. If you are in danger, this holy stone will protect you for me. You have to be careful..."

He held her hand tightly, his eyes stained with tears, "Don't forget me..."

After saying that, Asu Pei Ye pulled Xu An up and wanted to send her out of the palace.

Xu An was a little confused. Why did the second prince rebel?

They walked through the chaotic crowd and came to the gate of the forbidden palace. As soon as they opened the door, they were surrounded by Asu Cangwen's men. Two people slowly walked out from the crowd.

One of them was Asu Cangwen, and the other was Aunt Lan.

"Auntie Lan, you!"

Xu An frowned and saw Aunt Lan's face full of disbelief.

Asu Pei Ye suppressed the surging in his throat. He couldn't let them know that he was at the end of his strength.

Seeing Auntie Lan appear, he asked tremblingly: "Auntie Lan...are you his?"

Before Auntie Lan could speak, Asu Cangwen took a step forward, his brows full of contempt as he put his hands behind his back, "I never thought that the King of Hell in our Western Regions would become like this because of a woman."

"Hahahaha, I was curious at the time, why did you and big brother both like such a waste? It turns out that her identity is not simple. The daughter of the Marquis's Mansion became Princess Mu'an overnight. She is actually a goddess. From this point of view, she is still somewhat useful. However... now she seems to be a useless person without spiritual power?"

With a whoosh, a ray of golden light flew towards the person who spoke, leaving a bloody cut on Asu Cangwen's ear.

"Clean your mouth for me."

Asu Pei Ye clenched his fists. If the poison of the Heartbreak Flower had not come on too quickly, he might have cut off Asu Cangwen's hands and feet.

A group of people quickly drew their swords and were about to rush forward. Asu Cangwen waved his hand and let out a low and terrifying laugh, "Hahaha~ Aunt Lan is right. You really care so much about this woman. You are not interested in the throne. I could have let you go, but unfortunately..."

He turned around and looked at the woman behind him, then said, "Unfortunately, Aunt Lan wants you to die."

These words were like a red-hot iron whip that struck Asu Peiye's heart hard, whipping it to the point of bleeding.

He was breathing slightly, his eyes dark. He couldn't believe that Aunt Lan wanted to kill him.

Seeing him like this, the woman swung her hand and conjured up a sharp sword. She was no longer as kind as before, and now her eyes were full of hatred. "A Su Pei Ye, I have wanted to kill you for a long time. Now I can finally put an end to you with my own hands."

Asu Peiye's eyes were empty and powerless, with only boundless pain. He trembled his lips and asked in a low voice: "Why? Why?"

He was almost going crazy with the pain. His hands and feet were cold in an instant, and his body and mind were tortured like dying grass. He was mentally depressed for a while, and countless images impacted his mind.

With a "puff", blood splattered out like collapsing water. Asu Pei Ye suddenly fell to his knees. He coughed up blood and felt a sharp pain in his heart.
