Although Qi Wu's false pregnancy was exposed, the prince still had some affection for her, so he did not kick her out, but just threw her into a relatively remote yard.
Three meals a day are also provided, but you can't come out at will.
The concubine who fell out of favor, the servants in the prince's palace didn't want to talk to her, and the food they served her was sour.
At first Qi Wu was stubborn and refused to eat. Later, in order to survive, she could only eat those dry steamed buns, sour porridge, and pickles.
She wanted to run out to find Zhou Lingdu, and she wanted him to make the decision for herself.
But she couldn't get out at all. She, a weak woman who didn't know martial arts, couldn't escape from the guarded yard.
Qi Wu looked at this small courtyard with endless sadness in her heart. She was wrong. She should not trust Zhou Lingdu too much, nor should she rely on her status as a time traveler to ignore the hierarchical rules.
She regretted that she didn't want to live such a humiliating life anymore.
Qi Wu chose a sunny day and committed suicide by hanging on a beam. When the cloth strangled her neck, she felt suffocation, fear, and death...
Finally, she lost her breath completely.
Her body was discovered by a meal delivery person several days after her death.
Moreover, when she saw Qi Wu always not coming to get food, she felt something was wrong, so she went into the yard and took a look, and saw Qi Wu hanging upright from the beam, motionless.
The maid who delivered the meal tentatively checked her breathing and found that she was out of breath.
She shouted in panic, "Someone, come quickly! Concubine Qi has hanged herself."
The servants who heard her shouting immediately rushed over and put Qi Wu down.
When Zhou Lingdu heard the news and rushed over, Qi Wu had already been packed up by Qi Le, who had arrived early. Her clothes were also changed by Qi Le's servants, so that she could leave with dignity.
In fact, Qi Le was afraid that Zhou Lingdu would feel guilty about Qi Wu.
Qi Le knew what Zhou Lingdu was thinking, which was to ignore Qi Wu for a few days and let her suffer a little, and then release her from the yard after a while.
But how could Qi Le allow it? She asked her servants to put hallucinogenic drugs in Qi Wu's meals.
If she takes these medicines for a long time, she will become suspicious and confused.
It's just that Qi Le really didn't expect that Qi Wu would actually die, but it was good this way, it would save her from having to deal with her.
After Zhou Lingdu saw Qi Wu making no sound, he couldn't believe it. She was obviously such a strong woman, how could she suddenly...
He blamed himself, "Qi Wu, wake up! It's my fault, I shouldn't have left you here without asking anything."
When Qi Le saw Zhou Lingdu like this, she could only comfort her, "Your Highness, you have to take care of yourself! My sister definitely doesn't want to see you looking too sad."
"I know, you ask the people below to prepare and bury Qi Wu."
"Okay, I'll go get ready now. I must let Sister Qi Wu leave in a dignified manner."
"I can rest assured that you will do the work."
Qi Le glanced at Zhou Lingdu again before leaving the courtyard.
The prince was indeed very good at Qi Wu, so it was worth her taking action earlier. Now that the person is dead, even if His Highness the prince misses her, it will be of no use.
Zhou Lingdu ordered his servants to leave because he wanted to have a conversation with Qi Wu.
After ensuring that no one was around, Zhou Lingdu spoke his innermost thoughts, "Qi Wu, I really liked you, but my love was too shallow. Don't meet me again in the next life."
He looked at the circle of marks on Qi Wu's neck and shed a rare tear.
