The palace was in turmoil because of me.

Helpless.

Shen Weiming brought in several people dressed in strange clothes.

My sleeping chamber was covered with yellow talismans.

They were chanting words in their mouths.

Dancing wildly in front of me.

So noisy.

They made my head feel like it was about to explode.

"Get out all of you!"

"You're disturbing my child!"

I frantically pushed them away, palace maids came to support and pull me.

"Your Highness, calm down! Don't harm the baby!"

Stay calm.

How can I stay calm like this!

They turned the only place where I could finally rest into chaos.

"I know, you all want to harm me! You all want to harm my child!"

I pointed at each of them.

One by one, they knelt in front of me, knocking their heads, begging for mercy.

If they didn't serve well, they would lose their lives.

After hearing that, I burst into laughter.

As I laughed, tears welled up again.

Where is that frost now?

That night, did she also kneel and beg like this?

But did you spare her?

Then let's die together, this thought echoed in my mind.

So I did it.

With a wave of my hand, I overturned the altar, and the candlelight on the altar spread along the curtains.

Watching the growing flames, I felt a secret excitement in my heart.

Screams filled the air.

"Fire! Fire!"

...

Through the flickering flames, I saw Shen Weiming hurrying over.

He furrowed his brows, gazing at me from a distance.

For some reason, he suddenly closed his eyes, touched his forehead, swayed, as if he was about to faint the next second.

Then he opened his eyes and rushed towards me.

I was reflected so clearly in his eyes.

He tightly embraced me, his tone as if he had regained something lost.

"Lier, stop hurting yourself."

"Do it for me, for... the child in your belly."

"Live well."

For you?

I broke free from his embrace, smiling brightly.

"But all my misfortunes are caused by you!"

He shook his head frantically, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse.

"It's not me!"

"Lier, it's not me..."

"I don't know why it turned out like this..."

Why deceive me even at this moment?

Hatred quickly filled my chest, and I pulled out the hairpin from my head.

It was a gift from Shen Weiming.

He said at that time.

"Hairpin for my wife."

Without hesitation, I stabbed the hairpin into his chest, warm blood splattered on my face.

In the light and shadow, he became indistinct to me.

Just as I was being subdued by the guards.

His face turned into that of a stranger again.
