May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

Outside the capital, in Fukuyama.

Even during the day, it seems as if something is shrouding Fukuyama, and the sunlight that seeps through doesn't make people feel warm at all.

Wen Xi sat on the dilapidated coffin lid, her small face displaying a maturity beyond her years: "I am not Madam Lu's biological son. It is foolish of you to use me as a blackmail."

He had barely finished speaking when he received a slap across the face.

Dressed in black and with her face veiled, Princess Wei said in a somber tone, "You're not very old, but you're quite cunning. Do you think we'll let you go just because you say that?"

Wen Xi gritted her teeth, but a trickle of blood ran down the corner of her lips.

Princess Wei looked at him and suddenly smiled: "It seems that not only does Wen Yuanshu value you, but you also value Wen Yuanshu quite a bit?"

The child said this simply because he didn't want them to wait for Wen Yuanshu here.

"It's a pity that the letter has already been sent out, and Wen Yuanshu will definitely come," Princess Wei raised her hand and gently touched Wen Xi's swollen cheek, her touch surprisingly gentle. "When the time comes, I'll have you and your son go together. In the next life, you can be her biological son, which will fulfill your dream, won't it?"

Wen Xi looked at her with her eyes half open, her eyes devoid of any emotion, only a faint...contempt: "Using a child as bait, no wonder you still don't have a child. In this world, no one would want to be your child."

His words clearly struck a chord with Princess Wei.

Despite being married to the Prince of Wei for so many years and being deeply in love, the Princess of Wei has never had a child. This has always been a source of bitterness for her and her Achilles' heel.

Those who touch it will die.

Sure enough, as soon as Wen Xi finished speaking, the Princess Consort of Wei's eyes were filled with a deep crimson.

"You brat, I'll kill you—" Princess Wei's voice suddenly turned shrill as she grabbed Wen Xi by the neck.

Shuyao quickly stepped forward and pleaded, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you mustn't!"

If Wen Yuanshu was the bait used to lure Lu Chengyuan, then Wen Xi was the bait used to lure Wen Yuanshu.

If something happens to him, the bait will be less effective.

Hearing Shuyao's words, the redness in Princess Wei's eyes slowly faded.

Finally, the Princess of Wei let go.

Wen Xi was already on the verge of suffocating when the sudden influx of air caused her to cough violently.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shuyao quickly helped Princess Wei to the side.

This area was already set up last night.

Outside the mass grave, there was a surprisingly clean area with a tent set up inside, containing tea and snacks that they had brought with them that morning.

Princess Wei sat down in the tent, glanced at the child lying on the coffin lid not far away, and then looked up at the sky: "How much time has passed?"

“It’s been an hour,” Shuyao said respectfully.

It's almost time.

Sure enough, a figure was seen approaching them shortly afterward.

The road to the mass grave was difficult to travel, and the man clearly did not often walk mountain paths, as he appeared unsteady on his feet.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Princess of Wei.

coming.

She got up and left the tent, and the guards who were standing outside the tent also stood behind her.

Behind her were thousands of troops, while Wen Yuanshu was all alone. A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Princess of Wei.

She wanted to see who Wen Yuanshu could rely on!

At this moment, Wen Yuanshu was also unsure.

She didn't know when Lu Chengyuan would arrive, and although she had two bodyguards by her side, she was afraid she would have a hard time against so many of the Prince's personal guards.

Wen Yuanshu's gaze fell on Wen Xi.

Seeing the little child's face red and swollen, and his neck covered in bruises, she felt a pang of pain in her heart and walked towards Wen Xi.

When the guards from the Prince's Palace behind Wen Xi saw that Wen Yuanshu had come over so directly, they subconsciously gripped the hilts of their swords. They would immediately attack if Wen Yuanshu made any other move.
