The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Chapter 304: Once You Enter This Game, You Will Suffer the Result

Chapter 304: Once You Enter This Game, You Will Suffer the Bitterness

The people present might have heard that the two of them had a grudge, but only they knew what Fu Rongxin meant by this sentence.

Xue Zhiyi paused as he was about to leave, and looked down at her condescendingly: "I've said before, I don't believe in fate, and there is no such thing as 'should have'. If there is, it can only be that you and I should have been two people with nothing to do with each other. Since you dragged me into this, you will suffer the consequences."

Fu Rongxin was no longer willing to listen to anything at this moment. She had not been able to figure out something in her two lifetimes, and now she would not understand it thoroughly just because of Xue Zhiyi's words. She could only curse at the top of her voice: "Xue Zhiyi! You must not die well! Since you stole my life, I curse you to die like I did in my last life!"

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi's brows twitched slightly. She died too early in her previous life and was unable to see Fu Rongxin's ending. However, the position of queen that she had worked so hard to obtain, ultimately did not go as Fu Rongxin wished?

However, it didn't matter anymore. Xue Zhiyi just leaned down slightly, and the pearls and jade jingled with her movements, reflecting the dim light, which made Fu Rong's eyes ache.

Xue Zhiyi's eyes were cold, and he spoke softly in a voice that only they could hear: "Fu Rongxin, you hope that I will not have a good end, and hope that my life will not go as I wish, but you know that I have been secretly looking for your whereabouts, because you still have a life debt to repay. Maybe you have forgotten it, but I promised Xue Runing that the person who killed her will pay with blood. If you completely disappear, I may regret it for the rest of my life because I can't find you. It's a pity that you came to my door yourself, and you can't even add the last flaw to my perfect life."

After that, Xue Zhiyi stood up straight, looked into Fu Rongxin's eyes for the last time, and said seriously: "Fu Rongxin, you lost this time, completely."

"No... No! I didn't lose! Xue Zhiyi!"

Looking at Xue Zhiyi's back as he turned away, Fu Rongxin's sharp and cold screams almost made her internal organs bleed, until bright red tears and blood oozed from the corners of her eyes, like a wailing evil ghost.

Amid the shocked or frightened gazes of the crowd, Xue Zhiyi looked calm and walked steadily, but there was an uncontrollable warmth in his eyes that was scorching and compelling.

Suddenly, she felt a hint of coolness flash across her nose.

Snowing.

Behind him, the shrill screams had not stopped yet, but Xue Zhiyi just smiled indifferently without looking back.

……

When Huo Wuyou returned home, it was almost dawn, but he didn't expect that Xue Zhiyi was still awake.

The emperor summoned him to discuss matters and originally allowed him to stay in the palace, but when he suddenly heard the news that Xue Zhiyi had been assassinated, he hurried back in the snow.

Even though the wound on Xue Zhiyi's palm had been treated with medicine, Huo Wuyou still couldn't help but feel distressed, to the point that Xue Zhiyi even called him hypocritical.

"What do you want to do?" Huo Wuyou asked her.

"what?"

"Assassin, how to deal with it?"

"kill."

"It's about how you want to kill."

Xue Zhiyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Wuyou in front of him. Although he looked calm, the coldness in his eyes made him seem extremely angry.

However, she did feel that the way Fu Rongxin was killed with just one blow was a bit too easy, and she was not qualified to let off her enemy on behalf of Xue Runing.

……

A few days later.

Fu Rongxin, who was unable to move, was already covered in dirt and stench. There was no one in the cell to wipe her body, let alone clean her wounds. She could only endure the dirt and stench by herself.

The last bit of her dignity was destroyed, and she just wished she could die quickly. She had never longed to die so much.

Until this day, someone took her out of the cell, apparently on someone's orders.

When she saw the light of day again, she was already in a snowy forest.

She was left in the snow, and just when she was at a loss, she seemed to hear a dull growl.

Later she realized that in such a cold and harsh winter, she was a rare food in the eyes of the hungry wild beasts.

Her instinct for survival made her use her last bit of strength to call for help, but the more she shouted, the closer the growl came.

At this moment, she was actually somewhat thankful that her body had lost all feeling...

As her flesh and blood were separated, Fu Rongxin's consciousness gradually became blurred... It was not until this moment that a trace of regret welled up in her heart.

She still clearly remembered that day at the Bodhi Temple, when she privately asked the old monk who had predicted the fortunes for her and Xue Zhiyi why there were two phoenixes.

The old monk said that there was only one phoenix life, but this phoenix had a dangerous fate, and had to survive disasters before it could be reborn in Nirvana. But it seemed that someone had changed its fate, so there were two phoenix lives, one true and one false, one good and one bad. But now the phoenix has survived the disaster, and will surely soar into the sky in the future.

Now that she thought about it, maybe she had been wrong from the beginning. She and Xue Zhiyi had exchanged lives. In her previous life, Xue Zhiyi had helped her to survive. So how could she be the one flying in the sky in this life...

"Wrong... all wrong..."

She had lived two lives in vain. If she had known this would be the end, she would have rather not come back this time... If there is an afterlife, she doesn't want to be Fu Rongxin...

She laughed at herself and let the last bit of breath dissipate from her lips.

……

……

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lights come on.

The Lantern Festival in Huajing City is bustling with people. People are dressed in red and green. The streets are filled with lanterns, making the streets look as bright as day. Even the Jinlu Bridge lives up to its name.

The crowd moved slowly, cheers and celebrations rose and fell, and the carriage could no longer move forward.

Xue Zhiyi and Huo Wuyou got out of the car, arm in arm, and walked into the bustling crowd. It was a rare moment like this, and they wandered around the night market in Huajing like an ordinary couple.

They watched juggling, guessed riddles, and even won first place in a pot-tossing competition.

When they were tired of shopping, they took the wine they won from the game of tossing pots, found a seat in a teahouse, and leisurely enjoyed the night view of the street.

"Huo Wuyou." Xue Zhiyi asked, "Did you hear the people talking on the street just now?"

Huo Wuyou poured himself a cup of tea and said, "I heard that people in the streets are talking about the fact that the real mastermind behind the Yueling Pass tragedy was not the deceased Prince Cheng, but the jealous and suspicious current emperor. Prince Cheng was just taking the blame for the emperor."

Xue Zhiyi chuckled and said, "Such rumors were probably spread by the Ge family. Originally, they could have used the death of Duke Dingguo and his wife as an excuse, but now that their plan has failed, they can only find another way and use this rumor to stir up public resentment."

Huo Wuyou filled the teacup in front of Xue Zhiyi and said, "Over at Yueling Pass, the Ge family has written to Your Majesty to request that Prince Gong be executed to comfort the souls of Duke Dingguo and his wife. If Your Majesty does not grant this, then I'm sure they will use this as an excuse to rebel under the guise of revenge for them."

After taking a sip of tea, Xue Zhiyi lowered her eyes. Of course, she hoped that Gu Shichong would die, but she could not guarantee that the emperor would kill him. After all, it took a lot of trouble to make Gu Shimin die. What's more, the emperor knew that Gu Shichong was indeed wronged.

She said: "It seems that Gu Shichong is imprisoned and is only one step away from being deposed and killed, but I am afraid that this step will take a long time."

Huo Wuyou agreed deeply: "The key is that your majesty's body can no longer support it, and among the adult princes, only Gu Shichong is qualified to succeed to the throne."

Xue Zhiyi knew about this: "The Fifth Prince is mentally handicapped. The Second Prince, as the son of Concubine Li, cannot succeed to the throne because of his foreign bloodline. But I have always wanted to ask, what about the Fourth Prince? I only know that he made a mistake and was exiled. What was his mistake that made His Majesty not even consider passing the throne to him?"

After thinking for a moment, Huo Wuyou waved at her. Xue Zhiyi leaned over and heard Huo Wuyou whisper, "Fourth Prince, it's also because of blood."
