On the day Shen Qingci married into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, what she carried in her arms was not a dowry list, but a marriage and separation letter.
She's here to celebrate. Lu Heng, the eldest son of the Hou family, has been in bed for many years and coughs up blood like phlegm. The whole capital is betting that he will not survive this winter. Shen Qingci's aunt used her younger brother's future to threaten her into marriage, so she took a bag of poison and a bag of silver needles and got on the sedan chair. On the wedding night, when everyone left, she took out the marriage letter from her sleeve and handed it to Lu Heng along with a life-saving prescription: "Everyone takes what he needs, and after a year, each goes his own way."
The man on the bed coughed twice and weakly took the prescription, but there was a trace of interest in his eyes that she could not detect.
After that, the two began to act together in the Hou Mansion. During the day, she was a virtuous wife who devoted herself to her sick husband, using silver needles to "extend his life"; at night, she searched every corner of the Marquis's mansion to find the truth about her biological mother's poisoning and death. Where is Lu Heng? His coughs became softer and softer, and his eyes looked at her more and more deeply. Occasionally, when she was being challenged by someone, he would "happen" to cough up a mouthful of blood to scare the person away.
Until that day, Shen Qingci went into the mountains to collect medicine and was ambushed.
At the critical moment, a black shadow passed by, and the three killers fell to the ground. She raised her head and saw the rumored sick prince who took three steps and gasped, standing in the moonlight with a bloody sword in his hand. He curled his lips at her and said, "Next time Madam goes out, remember to take me with you."
Shen Qingci looked down at the blood on his sword, then at the poison in his sleeve, and suddenly smiled.
Everyone in the capital still doesn't know that the "sick couple" in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, one can silently destroy an army with poison, and the other pretends to be sick for ten years just to overthrow half of the court.
They competed with each other's acting skills during the day, and joined forces at night to kill from the backyard to the Golden Palace. Lu Heng had already pressed the Heli book under his pillow, and burned it into a handful of ashes on a dark and windy night.
He pinched her chin and breathed hot: "I drank the prescription Madam gave me and burned the letter of separation. Next - it's time to talk about how to spend the rest of my life."
