Hua Qiling's parents died when she was young, and she was raised by her elderly grandparents. Seeing that she was getting older, the two elders were worried that she would be lonely and helpless in the future, so they wanted to find a marriage for her as soon as possible.
They chose Zhu Yanfu, an orphan from the next village, and entrusted their granddaughter to him.
Hua Qiling cherished Zhu Yanfu very much and never asked him to do housework. She worked hard and never complained and took good care of him.
She said that he was not an abandoned son of heaven and earth, an orphan that no one wanted, but the one she loved. She will pamper him forever.
When Prince Zhou Kuiquan was inspecting below, in order to avoid being pursued by his enemies, he killed an orphan in the village, assumed his identity, and occupied his house. He originally wanted to live in anonymity, but someone suddenly came to ask for marriage. To avoid more trouble, he had no choice but to get married.
From now on, while being in love with that woman, I will seek the opportunity to return to the palace.
One day, Hua Qiling came home from washing clothes by the river and found a letter with Li left on the table.
He gave her some money as a gift and left her the house.
Not long after, Zhu Yanfu's body was discovered, and officials came to the door.
Hua Qiling couldn't explain clearly and was imprisoned. After several trials, she was hastily sentenced to beheading.
But shortly before the execution, she suddenly discovered that she was pregnant.
The news that the pregnant woman was about to be beheaded spread from one person to another, until it reached the ears of the new emperor who had just ascended the throne - Zhou Kuexan.
In order to show the kindness of the emperor, the new emperor ordered that the murderer be beheaded in public after she gave birth to a child.
Before the execution, Zhou Kuichun accidentally saw the portrait of the woman who was beheaded. His eyes trembled slightly and his heart felt sour. However, he still did not take back his life and still beheaded her ruthlessly.
Afterwards, he ordered someone to take the newly-born baby back to the palace and throw it to a concubine.
I haven't seen it since.
***
Three years later, when the Holy Master was holding a ceremony to worship heaven on the high platform, several Kun Taoists suddenly knelt down and complained to the emperor, saying that the nephew of the then Prime Minister had taken a Kun Taoist from the Taoist temple and returned home, and wanted to forcibly marry her as his concubine.
In an instant, Zhou Kuiyan was furious. He disturbed the ascetics and forced them to return to secular life. How could there be such unreasonable things in the world?
Before the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was over, he personally led a group of courtiers to rescue the prime minister's nephew. Along the way, the prime minister was so frightened that his legs were weak and could not walk, so he was helped along by others.
After seeing the woman in the wedding dress, the emperor, who had always been indifferent to joy and anger, was stunned for a moment.
She remained the same as she had been a few years ago, her demeanor was clean and her appearance was beautiful, but her eyes had become clear and quiet, and she no longer showed any joy for him.
But he didn't forget that she was his wife.
That night, the emperor broke into the monk's residence on the pretext of appeasement.
In the entanglement, a taboo was violated.
The black hair was scattered messily in the tent, and a little hatred finally seeped out of her clear and quiet eyes.
Zhou Kuiquan went crazy for this little bit of hatred...

Purpose: It's better to do some back-tuning before getting married.
