Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Looking at that twisted face filled with endless pain, Baili Jingyao's mouth curled up with a satisfied arc. This might make the two of them more painful than death.

"Lock them up, and tomorrow, let the whole city witness their humiliation and parade them in public!" His voice was as cold as ice, without any emotion.

Bailihe was still immersed in chaos, muttering to himself, his eyes full of unshakable stubbornness: "No, this can't be true, I am the flesh and blood of my father, there is no mistake in this matter."

Wen Xiuwan slowly opened her eyes, and in the hazy state she felt as if she was in the underworld. Unexpectedly, she vaguely heard Bailihe's sad sobs, which pulled her back to reality from the edge of illusion.

"He'er, why are you here? Am I not dead?"

Baili He's eyes were filled with tears, full of pain and confusion: "Mother, tell me, this is all just a nightmare, right? Father said with certainty that I am the result of your affair with someone else, how can this be true?"

Wen Xiuwan felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. A bitter taste appeared on her lips. She hesitated to speak, and finally said, "You are not his child. You are... my child with King Rui. I only want to keep his bloodline. He is your real father."

"It's all because of you. Why did you do such a thing? I hate you!!"

With such a "sinful" mother, his fate is doomed.

Bailihe originally wanted to continue what he had just done. He wanted to destroy this dirty existence in front of him, and he pounced on him with red eyes.

However, at this critical moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the door, followed by the jailer's cold shout, accompanied by the shadow of a merciless whip, which severely whipped him, "Stay still! His Majesty has ordered that none of you can think of dying easily, you must live and suffer the pain of torture!"

Bailihe's anger was like the struggle of a trapped beast, but it could only turn into a powerless roar, "Why! Why do you treat me like this!"

Wen Xiuwan had never seen Bailihe like this before, and she huddled in a corner in fear.

Not everyone can think of letting their own child kill them. Baili Jingyao is still as cruel as before.

"How could such a secret be discovered by my father? It turns out that it was all because of you that I ended up as a prisoner. What biological father? Prince Rui is nothing. And you, my mother, have become the root cause of my destruction, a slut driven by desire!" Bailihe knew that there was no possibility of reversal, and he kept cursing.

Facing her son's sharp words, she sighed softly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes: "He'er, King Rui is indeed a gentle and compassionate man. How can you judge your father so rashly?"

"Good man?" Bailihe sneered, his voice full of sarcasm, "Can he protect our lives? Can he give me power? How ridiculous! Now, our lives are hanging by a thread, and this is what you want? My mother, a mother who has private affairs and no self-discipline, where is your conscience, and where is your sense of shame?"

In Wen Xiuwan's heart, he is still the child who needs protection.

But I didn't expect that such filthy words could come out of his mouth.

"Ahem, He'er, you can't do this...you can't do this, your mother has already tried her best."

"You are responsible for all this! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended up in such a desperate situation!"

Thinking of the humiliation and suffering that was about to befall him, Bailihe's heart felt as if it was pierced by thousands of needles at the same time, and he felt excruciating pain.

"Father only said that you cannot die, but he didn't say that you cannot get hurt..." Bailihe started punching and kicking her like a madman.

Early the next morning, the two were locked in a prison van and paraded through the streets.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the queen, but she is secretly plotting rebellion. It is us, the people, who are suffering!"

"Bailihe is also an incompetent prince!"

Wen Xiuwan was covered in blood and had no expression on her face. She was beaten and kicked and insulted by Bailihe yesterday. Now she finally realized what kind of person the son she wanted to support was.

She is selfish, cowardly, why would she give birth to such a child?

Wen Xiuwan laughed and cried like a madman.

Among the crowd around, Nanny Lu stood aside with her dog.

The dog yelled, "Evil woman!" and threw a rotten egg, hitting her on the head.

He was even more merciless to Bailihe, "I told you to hit me, bad guy!"

"Dog, you have to remember that mother doesn't have high expectations for you. She only hopes that you can be a kind person and live a healthy life."

"Mom, don't worry, I will never be like them."

For some reason, Wen Xiuwan could only hear their conversation amid the noisy noise, yet she found it extremely ironic.

The two were imprisoned in a dungeon and were scheduled to be executed in the autumn, and no one from the Wen family would be spared.

Baili Jingyao had long been wary of the Wen family, and now was a good opportunity to resolve these troubles.

But his health was getting worse day by day. The imperial physician said that he was too deeply poisoned at the beginning and did not take Taoist Jiang's magic medicine in time. Now he was terminally ill and did not have much time left.

Baili Jingyao was furious. "You are such a mediocre person, you are unworthy of being a doctor! Someone, drag this incompetent doctor away immediately and execute him! Where is Taoist Jiang? Invite him to the palace immediately. I want to see him with my own eyes!"

Just as the atmosphere in the palace was tense, a eunuch stumbled in, his voice filled with fear and panic: "Your Majesty, it's bad! The Taoist temple... the Taoist temple has a fire!"

Upon hearing this, Baili Jingyao's face suddenly changed. He coughed a few times, and his voice was filled with disbelief and anxiety: "How could this be? How serious is the fire? Where is Taoist Jiang? Did he escape? Make sure he is safe!"

"Master Jiang... I'm afraid Master Jiang has been burned to death."

Baili Jingyao's body swayed, and he fell to the ground dejectedly, but he seemed to be suddenly pulled up by an invisible force. In his panic, he even forgot to put on his shoes, and staggered towards the Taoist temple that was being ruthlessly devoured by flames.

"Master Jiang must not be in any danger! If he leaves, my life will be annihilated."

Eunuch Chen looked anxious, and his hurried steps could not hide his worry: "The palace is heavily guarded. If Daoist Jiang wants to leave quietly, it is impossible for him not to be noticed... However, Your Majesty, you must take care of your health and do not grieve too much."

"No! I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe it!" Baili Jingyao was emotionally agitated and another mouthful of blood spurted out. Then his body went limp and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Someone, call the imperial physician!"

Jiang Nianwei disguised herself as a palace maid and stood not far away watching everything that happened here.

She caused the fire in the dojo on purpose. Her goal had been achieved and she no longer needed to be Master Jiang.

As for Baili Jingyao's secret private vault, she had already quietly searched it and almost emptied it, leaving only a few mundane items, without any rare items at all.

Baili Jingyao's body was like a candle in the wind, shaky and ready to collapse. It would probably not last long.

Baili Zhao was the first to see her among the crowd, and Jiang Nianwei then followed the footsteps of the other palace maids and left in a hurry.

He had no worries about Baili Jingyao's health. He had done too many evil things and ended up like this. It was actually the result of evil deeds being punished.

The two passed each other, and Jiang Nianwei didn't even look up.

……

Baili Jingyao lay on the dragon couch, feeling the vitality in his body gradually slipping away.

"Am I really going to die?"

The news of his ill health spread quickly. Now that the crown prince had been demoted, undercurrents were surging among various factions in the court.

Concubine Yan brought the medicine and fed him mouthful by mouthful, "Your Majesty, the late queen and... Baili He, both of them have been tortured in prison. However, the position of the crown prince must be decided as soon as possible, otherwise, the court will be in chaos."

Baili Jingyao's lips were pale. He shook his head with difficulty, his voice as thin as a thread: "No... No, I want to pursue the secret of immortality. Yan'er, you must not leave me."

"Your Majesty, my heart will always be with you, so how can I say goodbye so easily? However, it is an indisputable fact that you are in poor health. For the stability of the country and the peace of the people, we must prepare for a rainy day..."

Baili Jingyao was furious. He swung the medicine bowl on the table, and porcelain pieces flew everywhere. He said sternly, "How can I talk about life and death lightly?"

Concubine Yan had a blank expression on her face. In the past, perhaps she had the patience to accompany Baili Jingyao in making up these boring lies, but now... she was tired.

"Your Majesty, there is no such thing as immortality. Look at your current appearance. You dare not look in the mirror. Don't you want to see yourself getting old?"

Concubine Yan picked up a bronze mirror and placed it in front of Baili Jingyao. Reflected in the mirror was his increasingly aged face. "Look at how old you are now."

His hair was as white as snow, his face was full of ravines and wrinkles, and he had lost all his former charm. Compared with himself half a month ago, he was like a completely different person.

"This is not me. This is definitely not me."

"Your Majesty, don't live in a dream. Now that Taoist Jiang is dead and the elixir has been used up, you no longer have the possibility of immortality, nor is it necessary."

"What nonsense! Concubine Yan, how dare you lie to me like this!" Baili Jingyao held her hand tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. "You were the person who loved me the most in the world, how could you say such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, let me ask you, who would fall in love with a person like you? I am doing this just to stay by your side and save my life."

"Many years ago, Your Majesty was drunk and forced me. Since then, I have been unable to leave the palace. I can only be trapped in this harem like a bird in a cage. My status is as lowly as dust. I can only silently endure endless bullying and cold eyes every day. Who knows about those pains and tears? Your Majesty, have you ever given me even a little bit of pity and care during those dark days?"

"Yan'er," His Majesty sighed softly, his tone full of apology, "I know that I owed you too much in the past, but now, am I not making up for it with double the love I give you?"

"It's too late, Your Majesty. You've ruined everything for me. I don't love you, I hate you. You thought it was the Queen who gave you the drug, but in fact, you've been with me day and night, smelling my fragrance, and you've already started to be poisoned."

"What did you say? You..."

"Every time you made love with me, I felt extremely sick, but... your poison began to penetrate deep into my bones. This is probably my last comfort."

Baili Jingyao was furious, but at the same time, he felt a fishy sweetness rising up, "It's you, it's you who wants to hurt me?"

"There are countless people in this harem who want you dead, and I am just one of them."

"Secret guards, where are my secret guards? Come out, quickly... come out!" Baili Jingyao suddenly felt that he could no longer make a sound.

"All your secret guards have been dealt with. There are no more of your men in this palace. Your Majesty, didn't I tell you to take the medicine just now? That's a precious medicine that can prolong your life. It's such a waste. You can only live a few days less."

Concubine Yan stood up and looked down at the man in front of her, who was extremely disgusting to her.

"you……"

"Are you trying to accuse me of being a vicious woman with a heart of a snake and a scorpion? Your Majesty, it was you who pushed all this into the abyss."

Concubine Yan took out the imperial edict that she had prepared long ago from behind her back, "In fact, it doesn't matter whether you issue this edict or not, because I have made all the preparations for this moment."

Baili Jingyao's body trembled violently, and his violent coughs were like a violent storm, each cough tearing his heart and lungs. Bright red blood flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth, staining his clothes red.

Concubine Yan pretended to be panicked and shouted loudly: "Someone come! Someone come quickly! Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he is in critical condition!"

Baili Jingyao felt that he could no longer move or speak. He could only lie there and watch everything Concubine Yan did.

"This is His Majesty's order, Eunuch Chen, thank you for your help."

"My lady, I have an old servant to take care of this place, please leave first!"

Everything has been decided. Baili Zhao can legitimately become the crown prince and ascend to a high position, and she can retire after achieving success.

……

Baili Zhao came to visit Wen Xiuwan for the last time, not because he felt sorry for her, but because he didn't want her to die so easily.

She had been tortured to the point of being covered in wounds. "Now, are you satisfied? Your brother and I have both been imprisoned, and we will soon be executed."

Baili Zhao squatted down and said, "I came here to tell you a good news. The person you hate the most is about to die."

Wen Xiuwan suddenly raised her head and said, "He... is about to die? Haha, God is watching over him, and retribution is inevitable! He claimed that he could control everything in the world, but in the end, he couldn't escape death, and he died before me. It's so satisfying!"

"There is one more thing I want to tell you."

Baili Zhao's expression was calm and he whispered a few words in Wen Xiuwan's ear. Her eyes suddenly widened: "This is impossible, you are lying to me!"

"This is probably your retribution. Father has suffered the consequences of his evil deeds, and so have you."
