Shen Fu's eyes were full of sarcasm, and her tone was full of mockery.

"I've heard that two people who die together are destined to meet again in the next life. It seems you and Meng Wan are quite fated, even your bodies are joined together. Then I wish you continued love and hate, a relentless battle to the death, in your next life!"

"..."

Not only did they not get the answer they wanted, but they also had to bear the most vicious curse.

He loathed Meng Wan so much that he would never want to see her again.

Jun Qiyuan mustered his last bit of strength to try and pull out the knife.

Unexpectedly, Meng Wan grabbed his neck and slammed her body forward.

The two bodies were completely "inseparable".

His pupils suddenly dilated, but he had no strength left and could only look up at the sky.

Watching the clouds drift by in front of me, a bird flies by, my focus completely shifts until I am plunged into endless darkness.

Jun Qiyuan is dead!

But his eyes were still wide open, and he died with his eyes open in disbelief.

Seeing her enemy, with whom she had been entangled for two lifetimes, die before her eyes, Shen Fu's feelings were not as joyful as she had imagined, but rather a mixture of complex emotions and感慨 (gǎnkǎi - mixed feelings of regret and reflection).

When she saved that "little beggar," she genuinely hoped that he would have a peaceful and successful future and be reunited with his family.

I've also wondered what their fate would be if Jun Qiyuan hadn't mistaken me for someone else.

Isn't Meng Wan the best example of what should be learned?

If Jun Qiyuan could make her sacrifice and give so many times if he considered her his true love, how would it be any different if it were him?

He is incapable of loving anyone else; he only ever loves himself.

Shen Fu stepped forward and gently closed those eyes that refused to close.

"If life truly offered a choice, I would rather we had never met."

……

Today's palace coup concluded in an extremely satisfactory manner.

Jun Qiyuan and Meng Wan, these two enemies from their past lives, are finally dead!

Murong Xiao, the Western Regions Empress, and others were also captured.

Next, there's the question of how to deal with them.

Emperor Yong has now passed the throne to his second son, Jun Jingyan, and has become the retired emperor, from which time he will no longer concern himself with the affairs of the court.

How to punish them next is up to Jun Jingyan.

For so many years, the Northern Dynasty has been invading the borders of Dayong. Now, the eldest prince of the Northern Dynasty has joined forces with the Empress of the Western Regions to create turmoil in the capital, attempting to seize Yongdu. Their various evil deeds are too numerous to count!

He immediately announced the execution of Murong Xiao, to give an explanation to the people on the border who were deeply oppressed and to the souls of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the battle against the Northern Dynasty!

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately applauded and cheered.

In the past, the Yong Dynasty was oppressed by the Northern Dynasty, and it had no choice but to swallow its anger!

Now that they have won the battle and turned the tables, if they still have to be as servile as before, wouldn't they become a laughing stock among the four kingdoms and make the people of the world think that the Dayong royal family and court officials are cowards?

Whether Murong Xiao is killed or not, the hatred between the two countries is irreconcilable.

Then let's settle scores and avenge our grievances!

No matter how Murong Xiao threatened, warned, or even begged for mercy, he could not change the impending outcome.

Jun Jingyan's actions were not only to avenge the Xuan King and his wife, but also the first step in establishing his authority as the new emperor.

He wanted everyone to know his attitude and stance.

As for the Western Regions Empress, she could only be considered an accomplice.

Her initial goal was simply to fulfill her daughter's wish and make Jun Jingyan the prince consort of the Western Regions.

It was under Murong Xiao's enticement that he lost his mind and made the wrong decision.

This behavior is certainly unforgivable, but not punishable by death.

Moreover, although the Western Regions and the Yong Dynasty have not been close for many years, they have never been enemies. If a queen were to be executed, it would surely lead to a complete break with the Western Regions.

The most pressing issue to deal with right now is the Northern Dynasty!

Even if we have to clean things up, we have to do it one step at a time!

Furthermore, since the Empress offered to cede ten cities as compensation, Jun Jingyan, for the sake of the overall interests, did not make things difficult for them and let them leave!

When Jun Jingyan became emperor, Yun Dai naturally became empress.

The country and its lands were offered as betrothal gifts, and the national treasury as tribute.

He finally kept his promise!

Consort Ning naturally became Empress Dowager, and Jun Anning became Princess Da Yong.

Besides them, there were also the Xuan King and his wife.

The immense kindness they showed him and the entire Yong Dynasty royal family was something that could never be repaid, even if he gave them everything he had; it wouldn't be too much to give them the throne.

Jun Jingyan even mentioned this idea to Yun Dai, but she rejected it outright.

After all, of everyone here, only she knows the truth!

Given that man's true identity, why would he care about a mere monarchy?

But she had promised to keep the secret, and she had to keep her word and absolutely could not break her promise.

The only way to dissuade him was to argue that "if he were to abdicate the throne, how could he possibly give him the national treasury as a dowry?"

Jun Jingyan knew that she had been hiding a secret from him, but he didn't pursue the matter.

As long as she knows that the person she loves is herself, that's enough!

Everyone got the ending they wanted, and everything was moving towards a perfect and beautiful outcome.

No one knew that the atmosphere in the Xuanwang Mansion was extremely solemn and tense at this moment.

Since returning, Shen Fu's attitude towards men has changed.

Not only did it carry a hint of indifference, but its gaze also held a scrutinizing and strange quality.

The man knew that it must have been Jun Qiyuan's words of "sowing discord" before his death that had worked.

Although she didn't say anything at the time, she must have had some doubts in her mind.

What should I do?

Should we tell the truth?

What he feared was not the revelation of his secret, but rather her current physical condition.

Although she hasn't experienced any symptoms recently, the memory of her past "attacks" still casts a shadow over her mind.

He couldn't allow even the slightest danger to her and the child, so...

Finally, Shen Fu noticed his difficulty and hesitation, and asked, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

"..."

What do you mean? Does she really suspect something?

Judging from her expression, she wasn't angry, so she probably hadn't guessed his true identity.

Otherwise, given her personality, if she knew that she had been deceiving her all along, how could she be as calm as she is now?

Just as I was thinking of finding an excuse to brush it off, the other person suddenly took out a piece of paper from their pocket and slammed it on the table.

Upon seeing the three large characters at the beginning, I couldn't help but feel a tightness in my chest.

Divorce Agreement!

She actually wants a divorce?

It took him a while to find his voice. "Why?"

You know the truth in your heart.

Could it be... that she really already knows?

The man looked into her eyes, trying to discern something.

But Shen Fu's gaze remained perfectly calm, as if she were discussing something extremely simple.

But his heart was in turmoil, and his large hands suddenly clenched tightly.
