The beautiful woman in the quick transmigration novel has been targeted by the male lead again.

Shen Yanzheng was scratched and clawed until there were several bloody marks on his face. Only then did he grab the person's hands and say, "If you keep making trouble, I will drag your adulterer out and whip his corpse!"

"You go!"

Chang Ning glared at him hatefully, "Why did you bring me here? You might as well just kill me too!"

After saying that, she lay down on the bed and sobbed.

Why would this person come looking for her again? Why would he show up again?

Seeing her looking like she was about to die, Shen Yanzheng's face grew even colder. She ignored him when he called her, and instead looked at him with an unprecedented look of hatred. Did she really have such deep feelings for that man?

A murderous impulse welled up inside him; he really wanted to chop that eyesore up and find any family to raise the child so she would never see him again!

As for her, it would be best to chain her up and lock her up in the deep palace, so that she could not go anywhere and could only see him every day!

In the end, he just sneered and turned away.

Once outside the hall, he ordered in a deep voice, "Take good care of her. Do not allow anything to happen to her, otherwise—"

The eunuchs and maids dared not look at the scars on his face and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured, we will do our utmost!"

Shen Yanzheng nodded: "If anything happens, do not delay and report back to me immediately!"

"Yes!"

Chang Ning was essentially imprisoned in this palace. Shen Yanzheng came every day, but Chang Ning ignored him and didn't speak to him. His face was expressionless, like a mannequin.

She only makes a sound when she can't take it anymore, but she immediately grits her teeth and perseveres, as if she is making a silent resistance.

At these times, Shen Yanzheng would become even more ruthless, holding her tightly as if he wanted to crush her.

Shen Yanzheng lowered his head and kissed her: "You dislike me that much? In what way am I inferior to a country bumpkin, hmm?"

Still receiving no response, Shen Yanzheng rubbed his teeth against her shoulder: "Speak!"

The woman beneath him seemed deaf and mute. Shen Yanzheng, impatient, flipped her over and saw that her face was covered in tears, and she was biting her lip so hard that blood was seeping out.

Shen Yanzheng's heart tightened. He reached out and pried her mouth open, then bent down to lick away the beads of blood. "Doesn't it hurt?"

Chang Ning closed her eyes and didn't look at him. At first, she didn't feel it, but the pain seemed to ferment, getting deeper and deeper every day, like being burned by a raging fire.

In just a few days, she lost weight, and her once round face now showed a pointed chin. Shen Yanzheng hugged her and said, "Sweetheart, wouldn't it be nice to stay with me from now on?"

Two lines of tears streamed down Chang Ning's face. She finally spoke, "Your Majesty, you can either release me or kill me."

The thought of Wei Wufeng, and the thought of her son, especially since her son was..., she was truly afraid that one day she would kill him!

"Still thinking about Wei Wufeng? You like him that much?"

Shen Yanzheng tightened his grip. "Kill you? How could I bear to?"

After three years of studying together, they were about to accept reality when this suddenly happened, which means that it was destined by heaven that they were meant to be together.

Chang Ning was in great pain from being strangled, but she didn't struggle. She just said with empty eyes, "You killed Wei Wufeng and you also killed my son."

Shen Yanzheng felt a surge of anger mixed with an inexplicable bitterness. He had lied about killing the two people in a moment of impulse, and deliberately kept the truth from her when he saw her heartbroken. Now, she had lost the will to live because of those two unrelated people.

"What if I told you that the two of them are still alive and well?"

He scratched her chin with his finger, watching her eyes gradually brighten and return to the way he liked them. "Really?"

"If you behave well, it's true."

Chang Ning was both surprised and delighted, then furious and enraged. This person was doing it on purpose, deliberately scaring and threatening her. She then started punching and kicking him, yelling, "Get out! Get out! You bastard!"

"Chang Ning, you've gotten really bold!"

He's the emperor now!

Shen Yanzheng grabbed her fist and clamped her legs between his legs. "Do you believe I will have that father and son killed right now?"

Chang Ning couldn't move his hands and feet, so he could only shout, "Go! Go now! If you don't go, you're a coward!"

Shen Yanzheng stormed into the imperial prison, shouting, "Bring Wei Wufeng here to me!"

The jailer obeyed and quickly brought the man to the jailer, who then tied him to a pillar.

Wei Wufeng's injuries that day were not fatal. The higher-ups ordered that he not be allowed to die, so they also provided him with medicine, and he recovered somewhat over the next few days.

Despite the grand spectacle, he remained calm and composed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Shen Yanzheng sat down on the chair carried by the guards and calmly ordered, "Go, give him a few lashes first!"

The jailer obeyed the order, and immediately a "slap slap" sound rang out.

The whip was made of some unknown material, a dark, gnarled line that would tear flesh from its touch. Wei Wufeng groaned, "I wonder what crime this humble commoner has committed?"

Shen Yanzheng raised his hand, and the jailer who had been administering the punishment withdrew. Then the others also left, leaving only the two of them inside.

"Tell me, how did you manage to seduce her and trick her into marrying you?"

Wei Wufeng recounted what happened at the Marquis's mansion back then, saying there was nothing to hide. He then added, "Back then, I rescued her from the mansion, and we spent every day together afterward. Isn't it normal for feelings to develop between us?"

"Your Majesty founded the dynasty with wisdom and might, but our marriage is neither against the law nor against morality. Your Majesty has no right to interfere."

Shen Yanzheng sneered, "Too bad she's my woman!"

"If you hadn't saved her family back then, do you think you'd still be alive today?"

"Then why has Your Majesty come here today? It's because she no longer wants to follow Your Majesty."

Shen Yanzheng was not provoked: "Do I not know her? Empty-headed and pleasure-seeking. If you weren't still somewhat useful, would she be with you?"

"So what? She agreed to marry me and let me be the father of her child!"

It's just that the timing was too unfortunate; this person came knocking on our door!

"That bastard..."

Just as he opened his mouth, Shen Yanzheng suddenly realized something, "What do you mean? That child isn't yours?"

Wei Wufeng looked up in surprise, then laughed out loud: "Although he is not my biological son, he is no different from my biological son."

He wanted to admit it directly, but seeing that fierce expression, he worried that if he said the child was his own, Shen Yanzheng would immediately strangle the child.

Shen Yanzheng's heart pounded, and he began to feel apprehensive: "Then, who is the child's biological father?"

When he saw that scene that day, his anger swelled up, and he subconsciously thought that Chang Ning had already married someone else and had a child, since the three of them seemed to be a harmonious family.

But now, his preconceived notions have been shattered!

He stared at Wei Wufeng, more nervous than ever before, and heard him say, "It's yours."

My heart pounded, as if a thousand drums were beating in unison.
