Fu Qingcheng's hands suddenly tightened, her heart filled with surging hatred, wishing she could strangle Meng Wan to death!
Meng Wan remained expressionless as she looked at her, her gaze calm yet filled with pity. "Meng Junyao, you're so pitiful!"
Meng Junyao went berserk, her grip tightening with each blow. Meng Wan's vision went black, and only the faint image of Meng Junyao's face flickered before her eyes.
She thought she was doomed this time, but Fu Qingcheng suddenly loosened her grip.
"Do you think I'm pitiful? Meng Wan, do you think I'm pitiful?" She looked down at Meng Wan, who was lying there coughing violently, and sneered.
"Since that's the case, I'll show you properly who's truly pitiful!"
"What... what are you going to do?" Meng Wan suddenly looked up, her brows furrowed.
"What will I do? Nothing much, it's very simple. I'll let you watch the people you care about die one by one, and let you watch how I trample you under my feet."
"you..."
Meng Wan opened her mouth, but Fu Qingcheng interrupted her with a smile: "Huan Yan is already dead. The next one is your father, and the next one after that is Huangfu Mi, how about that? And your aunt, your sister, and oh right, your elder brother. Let's get rid of the charges of treason all of them."
"Don't even think about it!" Meng Wan exclaimed.
"What do you mean, 'don't even think about it'? Are you still waiting for Huangfu Mi at this hour? Oh, my dear sister, you're really pitifully naive. Let alone the fact that he can't come back from so far away, even if he wanted to come back, he'd have to ask the First Prince's people if they would allow it!"
"What are you doing? Are you really going to kill me to silence me?"
"That's probably it. Huangfu Yu and Huangfu Mi are both such a nuisance, the First Prince has long wanted to get rid of them. Isn't this a golden opportunity? So, just wait patiently for the good news. I will definitely have someone bring back Huangfu Mi's head. Once you see it with your own eyes, I will also consider our sisterly bond and bury you two together—"
After saying that, she waved her hand behind her, and two people appeared. Fu Qingcheng glanced at Meng Wan again before saying, "Take Princess Heng away and serve her well. Remember, she has a strong personality, so you must keep a close eye on her."

After saying that, she waved her hand behind her, and two people appeared. Fu Qingcheng glanced at Meng Wan again before saying, "Take Princess Heng away and serve her well. Remember, she has a strong personality, so you must keep a close eye on her."
His unrestrained smile reflected the exhilarating feeling of trampling Meng Wan under his feet.
The two men immediately stepped forward and restrained Meng Wan from both sides. Meng Wan tried to struggle, but Fu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow at her: "Don't make a futile struggle. Just wait and see how they die one by one. Take them away!"

It started raining again late at night. In the hazy rain, Meng Wan stood uneasily at the door. There were two guards on her left and right. If she moved, the two men would look at her coldly.
Meng Wan became increasingly worried.
An hour ago, Meng Junyao ordered her to be sent back to the palace, but she was imprisoned. Meng Wan had been thinking about whether there was a chance to escape, but after several attempts, she failed. In the end, she could only stand there dejectedly, looking at the rain scene in the courtyard with a worried expression.
According to Meng Junyao, the eldest prince would likely send someone to deal with Huangfu Mi, which was consistent with Meng Wan's previous guess.
Fortunately, she sent Hua Jiuye with people early on. But is there really no problem? Can Hua Jiuye protect Huangfu Mi?
As she thought this, she felt increasingly uneasy. She paced back and forth, praying to God for protection, for Huangfu Mi, for her father, and for the entire Meng family.
"Miss--" As dawn broke, Mu Ci rushed in from outside. Because the Hengwang Mansion was also under control, the maid couldn't leave but was gathering information outside. Seeing her rush in so urgently, Meng Wan was startled and quickly took two steps to meet her: "What happened?"
The two guards at the door immediately reached out to stop them, and Meng Wan and Mu Ci were separated by people, one inside the door and the other outside, far apart.
Mu Ci burst into tears: "This...this..."
Meng Wan couldn't get close, and as she watched, she grew increasingly anxious. Annoyed, she shouted, "What's wrong?"
Mu Ci finally managed to stop her tears: "I just heard that His Highness Prince Heng met with misfortune on his way to the border, and that he and the Fifth Prince were both in trouble. As for the Emperor, after hearing this, he fell ill and never recovered. The First Prince took the opportunity to order his men to behead the Master and display his head to the public, and the Meng family was also seized."
"What?"
Meng Wan was shocked, almost collapsing to her knees. Each and every one of these events was a devastating blow. Huangfu Mi and Huangfu Yu were both dead? And her father was to be beheaded? Even the Emperor, who had previously held onto hope, had fallen ill as a result.
A tightness gripped her chest, and Meng Wan staggered a few steps, feeling dizzy and disoriented. Mu Ci's image before her gradually blurred. She took a few steps back and then collapsed straight down.

Summer is long, orioles fly and grasses grow. Some unknown flowers are planted in the courtyard. They are in full bloom and lush, which is the best time of year. However, because of the chill in people's hearts, even if they bloom to the fullest, it is all in vain.
Meng Wan lay on the bed. The room hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and a layer of dust had covered it. Normally, she would never have been able to stand it, but now, her heart was ashen, so what did it matter?
Lying there, staring blankly at the bright blue sky outside, her eyes were filled with desolation.
It was her, wasn't it? The instigator. To avenge her past life, she angered Meng Junyao in this life, causing her entire family, and even Huangfu Mi and Huangfu Yu, to suffer.
Thinking of this, tears welled up again. She hated it, wishing she could end it all, but Meng Junyao was ruthless and had someone watch over her!
Meng Wan knew that Meng Junyao was probably waiting to find Huangfu Mi's body and that she would make her witness her father's beheading. So, at this moment, she wouldn't kill Meng Wan, but would only torture her.
It's torture, it's truly torture. I heard that while the Emperor was ill, the eldest prince had already drawn up an edict to appoint him as the crown prince, just waiting for the Emperor to pass away before ascending the throne.
Everything seemed to have reached its worst point. Meng Wan was somewhat desperate. Was God really going to let them do whatever they wanted? Was there really no one who could stop them?
--
I don't know how long I lay there, but it started raining again outside. The sound of thunder and rain mingled, and I could only feel a buzzing in my ears, which was extremely terrifying.
She was afraid of thunder, always had been, and now, in her exhaustion, the sound was especially piercing, the booming noises seeming to shake her internal organs apart.
She gripped the thin blanket tightly, shrinking into it, her body covered in a fine layer of sweat, yet she refused to let go.
Is she sick again? If she were to die here, she wouldn't have to see the rest of the world with her own eyes. Perhaps that would be a relief for her?
As she thought this, her mind truly wandered, as if she were no longer thinking about anything, simply lying there quietly.
