"It hurts... Yun'er is in so much pain... Mother... save me..."
The child hanging on the palace wall had one hand cut off, and his scream resounded through the whole palace.
Su Ningyue, who was also hung on the wall, saw all this with her own eyes. She felt so distressed that her eyes were about to burst. "Don't hurt Yun! He is just a child..."
Her once gentle husband stood in front of her like a devil from hell. "Your Highness, you'd better call your old lover to retreat as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll cut off the child's hands and feet and turn him into a human being!"
Su Ningyue cried bitterly and begged the First Prince. "Please let go of Yun'er. Tiger poison does not eat its children. He is your child!"
Before she could finish her words, she was scolded by the First Prince. "You b*tch, you are still lying to me! I have already known that you are Lord Jin's woman, and even the child is his!"
"He's just an illegitimate child. It's not worth it to die 800 times!"
The First Prince's voice was cold. His fingers slid across Su Ningyue's neck, like a sharp knife that could pierce her blood vessels at any time.
Su Ningyue trembled all over. "You..."
"Tell Lord Jin to retreat immediately!" The Crown Prince yelled angrily.
In fact, he had already known that Su Ningyue was a spy specially planted by Prince Jin. He kept her all the time because he wanted to make use of this woman to control Prince Jin, Huangfu Jin.
Just as the matter was about to come to an end, Lord Jin jumped over the wall in a hurry and started a rebellion.
Su Ningyue looked at Yun, who was struggling in pain, with a knife in her heart. She immediately shouted, "Jin, save our child. Retreat for the time being. Let's discuss this matter from a long-term perspective..."
Su Ningyue cried out for help. Her eyes were always fixed on her child, and there was a glimmer of hope in her bloodshot eyes. "Yun'er, don't be afraid. Dad will definitely save us..."
Ever since she was young, she had loved Huangfu Jin deeply and wanted to marry him.
But for the sake of her beloved man's hegemony, she entered the Eastern Palace and became the crown princess. She secretly planned everything for him. He promised that he would protect her and her child. He also promised that when he got the throne, she would be his only empress.
She believed that Prince Jin would postpone his current plan for the sake of the child and her. She also knew that he definitely had the ability to save her and her child at the same time.
But she had already called for help. Why didn't he respond?
The Crown Prince's butcher's knife had reached out to Yun'er's other arm.
"No! No!" Su Ningyue screamed.
She then shouted at the outside of the palace, "Jin..."
"Huangfu Jin, respond to me! I know you can hear me!"
...
There was no response. Lord Jin's army was still attacking the city.
Su Ningyue panicked in an instant, and the hope in her eyes disappeared. "Your Highness, Prince Jin, please, save our child..."
Until this moment, she was still waiting for his rescue, Yun'er's safety, and the reunion of the family of three...
It was not until Lord Jin's arrow was aimed at her that the flying feather broke through the air and hit her heart.
She looked at her husband in armor outside the palace and listened to him shouting, "All soldiers, listen to my order. We will definitely capture the Eastern Palace today!"
"There's no need to care about anyone's life or death!"
Then she heard the First Prince's angry shout, "Cut off the little bastard's hands and feet and throw him out of the Imperial Palace."
"Then what about the Crown Prince's wife..."
"F*ck the Crown Prince's wife! Throw her down with me... All soldiers, follow me and fight Lord Jin with all your might!"
"Yes, sir!"
Then, she heard the child's screams gradually weaken until they completely disappeared.
The rope hanging on her was cut off, and she fell off the city gate tower.
The huge impact made her completely lose consciousness before she could feel more sadness and pain. Lord Jin's arrows continued to shoot at her, hitting her vital parts with every shot.
Blood kept pouring out of her mouth. She opened her empty eyes and was completely out of breath.
Her soul floated out of her body. She floated into the air and saw the "love" who was fighting for the throne. Her hands were full of blood, and there was only crazy excitement in her red eyes.
It was not until this moment that she completely realized that all the love and vows were fake!
She was just a lowly tool for Lord Jin to fight for the throne.
Her soul floated to Yun'er, who was already dead, and she cried bitterly, "Yun'er... Yun'er... my Yun'er..."
"Ah..."
No matter how he shouted, it was useless. No one could hear a dead man's cry.
Her child was extremely well-behaved. She should have grown up safely, married, and had children for the rest of her life.
But now...
Yun'er, it was my mother who hurt you... It was all my fault, my mother trusted the wrong person. The flames of war were everywhere, and her soul was stuck to the child's broken body, waiting for the unknown fate.
At this moment, the battle outside the palace wall became more intense.
She turned around and suddenly saw a familiar figure. It was Mo Cang, the world-renowned 9000-year-old man. He was also her nominal uncle.
With an extraordinary momentum, he led thousands of troops and horses to kill a way out. He came to the front of her and the child's bodies and knelt down.
"I'm late... Ning Yueyue..."
The man seemed to have lost his soul and completely lost his former spirit. His inky eyes were full of emotions. It was pain, despair, regret, and anger. It was also a deep affection.
The man reached out and hugged her body, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.
In the past, he had been able to summon the wind and rain, but at this moment, he was in a mess.
This was the first time she had seen him like this.
Mo Cang was the person she used to hate the most.
She hated his skin, which was more handsome than a woman's, his mean character, and his control.
But at this time, he was holding her body and approaching her. Drops of tears fell on her body and burned her soul.
She watched him carry the child's body in front of her and listened to him muttering, "I thought I had made full preparation for you over the years, but in the end, Ning Yueyue... I still couldn't protect you and the child..."
His hands trembled as he caressed her hair. Her hair, which had long been dirty, was the most precious thing in the world in his eyes.
He told her about the deep feelings of the past one by one, those things that she had never known.
Su Ningyue's tears fell like rain. Only then did she realize that this man, who everyone was afraid of, had done so many things for her and shouldered most of the things.
The man's tone became extremely gentle. "Ningingyue, I have another secret that I have never mentioned to you."
"I'll tell you now. I'm afraid I won't have another chance in the future."
"Yun'er, in fact, it's our child. That night, the person who slept with you was me, not Lord Jin..."
Su Ningyue was extremely shocked, and her tears couldn't stop flowing. He didn't see it.
When she was still in shock, an arrow was shot in this direction.
With Mo Cang's strength, he could completely avoid it. He was the top expert of the Inner Court. But he had no intention of dodging it. The arrow went straight through his throat.
Mo Cang's hot blood sprinkled on her corpse, causing her soul to tremble...
"No..."
Su Ningyue screamed, and there was a white light in front of her.
...
The next second, she opened her eyes and woke up.
She looked around and found that she was in a room, looking down again and again. She didn't wake up until she saw her swollen belly.
She had another nightmare.
Everything in the dream was what she had experienced in her previous life. She had been reborn for seven days, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she could see everything in her previous life.
The heart-wrenching pain was still lingering.
This was ten years ago when she had died tragically in her previous life. The child in her belly had not yet been born. Now, she was engaged to the Crown Prince and had an ambiguous relationship with Prince Jin.
The experiences she had experienced in her past life had allowed her to see through the true colors of these two men. She had also seen how Mo Cang truly felt.
If she were to live again, she would never entrust her heart to another person.
This time, she would never marry the Crown Prince again. She would never become a tool for the Crown Prince and Prince Jin to fight for power.
The only person who could help her now was Mo Cang!
However, a few days ago, Mo Cang had been avoiding her.
The wedding ceremony was about to begin, so she couldn't delay any longer. No matter what, she had to meet Mo Cang today...
