Suddenly, an anxious voice came from outside: "Miss, where are you?"

It turned out that Luo Luo discovered she was missing and immediately brought people over to search for her, while also asking passersby for information.

Surprisingly, someone actually provided a clue after witnessing the incident.

"I think I just saw a man and a woman go into the alley. Should we go in and take a look?"

Shen Fu suddenly came to her senses.

If we take action now, wouldn't we be caught red-handed by outsiders?

Murdering a prince is a capital offense!

Jun Qiyuan certainly deserved to die, but it wasn't worth her sacrificing her own life, which would even lead to the downfall and suffering of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.

She had long ago sworn that she would avenge the blood feud from her past life a hundredfold, and make him suffer all the bitterness of the world, wishing he could neither live nor die!

The footsteps grew closer and closer, and it looked like they were about to burst in.

This is a dead end; there's only one way out. If people see her with Jun Qiyuan, there will definitely be more gossip.

Just as she was considering whether to climb over the wall to leave, an arm suddenly reached out and wrapped around her waist, pulling her away in a flash.

……

When Shen Fu came to her senses, she found herself in a quiet bamboo forest.

Looking at the silver-clad man before her, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

How come he always shows up so timely?

What should have been words of thanks turned out to be...

"You were following me?"

The man immediately retorted, "Are you afraid I'll catch you having an affair with your ex?"

"..."

What ex-lover? They're clearly mortal enemies!

The words were on the tip of her tongue when she suddenly realized, why should she explain to him?

"Didn't I make it very clear that from now on we'd go our separate ways and have no further connection? Why are you still bothering me?"

Instead of answering her question, the other person moved closer to her.

"You promised to remain chaste for the Xuan King, yet you turn around and get entangled with another man. Just how many men are in your heart?"

Shen Fu was extremely displeased.

What did he take her for? Someone who would sleep with anyone?

"Who I like is none of your business!"

"Is that so?" The man sneered, his gaze fixed on her. "Have you forgotten how you clung to me back then? Every inch of your body bears my mark. Is that something they could give you?"

"you……"

Shen Fu's face instantly turned bright red, whether from anger or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.

This face is clearly as noble and otherworldly as a celestial being under the moon, so why do the words spoken come out so vulgar and mean?

Thinking back to what happened that night, she felt even more ashamed and embarrassed.

In her anger, she lost her temper and began to retaliate with reckless words.

"So what? They are all people in my heart, and as for you, I only see you as a cure."

"What did you say?"

The man's face instantly darkened, and the atmosphere around him seemed to drop several degrees.

Shen Fu sensed something was wrong and turned to run away, but was pulled back by someone.

Then a chilling voice echoed in my ears...

"So, shouldn't I make the most of this and let you experience the power of my 'antidote'?"

Shen Fu was annoyed. She knew that she would never get a good result if she angered this man, but she just couldn't control her mouth.

She could only manage a smile that looked more like a grimace, "That's not what I meant..."

"An explanation is just a cover-up."

"..."

"The cover-up is the truth."

"..."

No, we can't stay in a passive state forever.

Since things have come to this point, there's no other option but to go all out.

"The person I was originally going to marry was the Fourth Prince. It was because of that mistaken marriage in the bridal sedan chair that I became the Princess Consort of Xuan. Now that the Prince Xuan is dead, what's wrong with me rekindling our past relationship?"

"So, you're admitting you had a secret rendezvous with him?"

"So what if he did? He was willing to defy imperial orders and even risk his life for me. I'm not heartless; of course I'll be moved."

"Ha... You can be soft-hearted with everyone, but you're heartless towards me, your savior. You really are heartless!"

Shen Fu didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

Fine, as long as he gives up on me, misunderstandings don't matter.

Her chin was suddenly lifted, meeting the man's deep eyes.

"Then why did you so cruelly kill your former lover?"

Shen Fu's heart trembled violently, and her eyes widened suddenly.

Did he see it?

She had never told anyone about her grudge against Jun Qiyuan.

Even Xiao Xuanjin only knew that he had a secret affair with Meng Wan and betrayed their relationship.

If it's just a betrayal of feelings, it certainly doesn't warrant the act of killing the other person.

If she hadn't been interrupted, she would have genuinely wanted to kill Jun Qiyuan!

"Why did you stop talking? Are you trying to come up with an excuse to brush me off?"

"..."

Is he a tapeworm in her stomach?

Fortunately, she had come up with a plausible excuse.

"I'm the kind of person who can't tolerate any infidelity. He keeps saying he loves me, but he's entangled with other women. First it was Meng Wan, and now he's going to marry some prime minister's daughter. Since I can't have him, I might as well destroy him!"

What a terrible and perverse love this is!

The implication was that he should give up quickly, lest one day she treat him the same way.

"Then why didn't you make the move in the end?"

"Uh...didn't I get interrupted?"

Shen Fu was also feeling uneasy, wondering how much he had actually seen and whether her explanation would be acceptable.

She didn't want to complicate matters further regarding her past grievances with Jun Qiyuan.

Before she could react, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed her slender neck.

With such a fragile neck, it probably wouldn't take much force to break it!

A deep, magnetic voice rang out, tinged with a hint of malice, "No wonder we were destined to be husband and wife. Even our thoughts are so in sync. If I can't have someone, I'd rather destroy them than let someone else have them."

Shen Fu's breath hitched, and her heart suddenly raced.

Thinking back to that day, he almost killed Feng Zhu with a single palm strike.

If it weren't for me stopping him, Feng Zhu would have died at his hands long ago.

This man's identity is mysterious and his martial arts skills are unfathomable. If he wanted to kill her, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

She cannot die, and she dares not die!

The blood feud remains unavenged; this life must be preserved!

Her tone softened instantly, "Let's talk this out..."

The man's eyes were deep and intense.

Today's interrogation is simply to find out what secrets she is hiding.

In the end, I still didn't get the result I wanted.

If this continues, it might really scare her.

He finally released his grip on her neck, but then suddenly pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

His voice deepened close to her ear, cold and tinged with extreme obsession, "Don't test my limits or my patience any further, or I can't guarantee what I might do."
