In his previous life, it was because he came too late that his Yue'er was killed by a villain.

In this life, he doesn't want to go down the same path as in his previous life!

Wu Qingyue also felt a sense of fear. The scene of Wu Yin attacking her with two swords overlapped with the scene in her previous life, causing her to have an illusion...

She seemed to be back in the iron cage that had imprisoned her in her previous life. The feeling of powerlessness and despair enveloped her deeply, making her unable to move.

"Shi Yi..."

Xiao Shiyi jumped in front of her: "I'm here."

The woman's body was shaking violently. The man reached out his big hand and patted her back, comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay."

"Shi Yi!"

Wu Qingyue threw herself into his arms all of a sudden——

The grievances and injuries she suffered in her previous life had always been her nightmare. Every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she was deeply trapped in the nightmare, unable to extricate herself.

And Shi Yi was like a guiding light, pulling him out of the swamp and showing her the way forward.

Xiao Shiyi looked at the little woman who depended on him in his arms and thought she was just afraid.

He turned around and looked at the woman lying on the ground, his eyes cold and without any warmth.

"Someone is coming——"

Leng Feng hurried in from outside, "Subordinates are here!"

"Drag this crazy woman away and punish her according to military law!"

Military punishment?

Leng Feng was a little shocked.

What had this woman done to deserve such a severe punishment from her master?

"Yes!"

Two people came in soon and dragged Wu Yinshuang away without paying any attention to her struggles.

The military law that Xiao Shiyi mentioned is something that everyone fears.

Anyone who violated discipline and was sent in would never walk out! However, those sent in were all men. Sending a woman in was a completely unprecedented event.

Wu Qingyue rested for another day before she felt better.

She had only rested for one day when a major event happened in the palace: Xiao Shengyu suddenly fell ill!

He was seriously ill and his condition was severe. The doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were all in disbelief after the diagnosis, simply because his disease was so rare!

Xiao Shengyu's face clearly showed his real age, in his early forties; however, inside he looked like a man in his seventies, with all his organs aging.

"How could this happen?" She found this matter very unbelievable.

"I guess someone used some poisonous drugs."

"What kind of drug could cause a normal person's organs to age to this extent overnight?"

"I don't know either."

Xiao Shiyi was also very curious, what exactly caused this?

He had never heard of it.

"It seems that someone can't sit still anymore."

"really."

"What do you think?" Wu Qingyue asked him.

"I can't see clearly yet. Let's wait and see."

"Ah."

Wu Qingyue suddenly remembered that tomorrow was Ali’s wedding day, and she had not prepared a gift for him yet!

"Oops!"

"what happened?"

"Tomorrow is Ali's wedding day, but I haven't even prepared a wedding gift yet."

"What's this!"

Xiao Shiyi thought she had something important to say, "There are many treasures in the warehouse, just pick one."

Wu Qingyue knew that the warehouse he was talking about was filled with rare treasures, and her eyes lit up -

"Then let's go pick one out now!"

Someone said sourly: "It's just picking a gift, why are you so serious about it? And you even go there in person."

The woman smelled the scent of vinegar in the air, and she knew someone was jealous again...

"A-Li is going to marry another woman tomorrow. You're jealous of the wrong person!"

Xiao Shiyi thought about it carefully and felt that what she said made sense.

"Humph, isn't it just a gift? I'll go with you to choose."

"Oh, isn't it just a gift? Why would I bother my husband to accompany me?"

"Of course. If you give away my treasured possessions, I won't even have a place to cry. I have to keep an eye on them."

The woman knew he was making an excuse, so she smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead if you want to. After all, it's all yours."

"Isn't the husband also the wife's?"

"Of course it's mine!"

Humph, she is not stupid. If she is given a ladder, she must go down.

When she arrived at the warehouse, Wu Qingyue looked through all the treasures before picking out a gift that made her very satisfied.

When Xiao Shiyi saw what she picked, he felt a little reluctant, because what she picked was one of his favorite treasures - the upside-down dragon and phoenix jade pendant.

Not only are the dragon and phoenix on this jade pendant carved lifelike, but the material of this jade pendant is also made of the rarest warm jade.

"Does Yue'er have no other treasures in her eyes?"

"Yes, but this jade pendant is my favorite."

Xiao Shiyi: “…”

The eldest prince was marrying a concubine, especially an unfavored prince. Normally, the wedding should have been a hasty formality; but the person Xiao Muli was marrying was the daughter of the president of the Hanlin Academy, and Xiao Shengyu attached some importance to this marriage.

Although Xiao Shengyu suddenly became seriously ill, this did not delay the normal holding of the wedding.

In the evening of the next day, Wu Qingyue attended the ceremony with Xiao Shiyi as the emperor's sister-in-law.

When they arrived at the Grand Prince's palace, the ceremony had not yet begun.

Xiao Muli was sitting in front of the hall in a red wedding gown to welcome guests. When he saw Wu Qingyue coming, his body stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

However, his action did not escape Xiao Shiyi's eyes, and he felt a little unhappy.

"A-Li, this is the betrothal gift that Shi Yi and I gave you. I wish you happiness."

The woman smiled and handed over a brocade box.

Xiao Muli looked at the brocade box in front of him, and his heart ached badly.

The woman in front of him was his beloved, but she brought gifts and smiled as she blessed him with another woman...

How cruel is this for him?

"Ali?"

Hearing the woman's puzzled voice, Xiao Muli raised his hand and took the brocade box from her.

His hands were shaking slightly, and Wu Qingyue would have noticed if she had looked closely.

However, she was so happy that she didn't notice it.

"You haven't thanked your Imperial Aunt yet!"

Xiao Shiyi reminded in a cold voice.

Humph, don’t think he didn’t see it!

These "little actions" of his did not escape his "eagle eyes" at all. It seems that this kid has not given up on his Yue'er yet!

"Thank you, Auntie Huang."

Xiao Muli said something hypocritical.

"Of course it is, we are all family, no need to be polite, Ali."

family?

Ha ha.

They are not a family.

"Uncle and aunt, please come in."

"Yeah." Xiao Shiyi responded coldly.

The two of them entered the door. At this time, if Wu Qingyue looked back, she would see the man's lonely figure, which looked even more desolate under the light.
