Moonlight.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the wind and snow were blowing, and the biting cold wind seemed to crush pedestrians.
The blood stains on the walls inside the cell have not yet dried, and the smell of blood in the air is depressing.
Shen Zhiyi's tattered prison uniform could only barely cover her body, and blood and sweat ravaged her hair. Xie Shaoheng sat opposite and looked at her embarrassment mockingly.
Before she could recover, the feeling of suffocation swept through her body again.
Xie Shaoheng was vicious and did not let go until she was about to die. He tortured her repeatedly, making her unable to survive or die.
"Shen Zhiyi, do you think I don't dare to kill you? I will give He'er whatever she wants. Even if I can't pry your mouth open, it won't be an exaggeration to turn the world upside down."
Her limbs were weak, her head drooped with blood all over her body, she closed her eyes and waited quietly to be reunited with her relatives.
Suddenly her scalp felt like it was about to be torn apart, and she was pulled up forcefully, her fingertips gently tracing her cheek.
"Sister, don't blame me."
"Shen Qinghe, your surname is Shen, and you are climbing up on the bones of your clan members. Do you feel at ease?"
Xie Shaoheng waved up his sleeves and slapped her, "Who do you think you are? How dare you scold He'er like this? You're not even worthy of carrying her shoes!"
Not worthy? She is the royal wife who was personally decreed by the emperor, and is known as the "Number One Military Advisor in the Northwest". Her mother is a general who followed the late emperor to pacify the world. Her father is a general who protects the country, and her mother is personally named by the former emperor. Princess Jing'an, her brother has made great achievements in battle.
Bring her shoes? That also depends on whether Shen Qinghe has this destiny!
"Yes...my surname is also Shen...it's a pity that I am a concubine..."
A sad look flashed in Shen Qinghe's eyes, and then disappeared in an instant and turned into a fierce look, grabbing her throat, "Because of you, I will always be the most inconspicuous one in the Shen family."
"Forever ignored!"
Why? !
She wanted to take away everything Shen Zhiyi cared about.
"Things, hand them over——"
Her concubine Shen Qinghe took a liking to her biological mother's relics.
Her husband coveted the military strategy she had written in all her life, and tortured her every day.
Shen Zhiyi was born as a general, married into the Xie family, and went to the battlefield to support Xie Shaoheng in his promotion. With her proficient military skills, she defeated the enemy troops steadily. If it were not for the protection of her brother's personal guards, she would have died on the battlefield.
Unexpectedly, her husband did not expect her to come back at all, and had already built a coffin for her.
The concubine who tolerates and favors everyone is a white-eyed wolf.
Her childhood sweetheart begged to spend her old age with a man who was a bastard with a human face and an animal heart.
Shen Zhiyi and Xie Shaoheng were childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts. It is a story that is praised by the world.
Shen Zhiyi was born into a family of generals and learned to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood.
Perhaps due to premature birth, Shen Zhiyi's body was weak since he was a child. It took him many years to regain his health, and he also missed the best period for practicing martial arts.
But she refused to accept it. She was not good at martial arts, so she was proficient in military formations. She was ranked among the most talented women in the capital every year.
After seven years of marriage, she had already become the queen of Dongling Kingdom. She thought she would always be favored by God.
The Shen family has always chosen to stay safe and stay away from the treacherous battles in the East Palace.
At that time, Shen Zhiyi ignored the opposition of his family and repeatedly threatened his father and brother to return to the court. The father and brother used their great military exploits to personally propose to the emperor in exchange for this marriage.
On the day of the wedding, there were loud gongs and drums, and there were many female relatives in the capital who were envious of the marriage, thinking that she, Shen Zhiyi, had taken some huge advantage.
She sat in the sedan chair and listened to the guests praying for blessings. She fantasized about being in love with Xie Shaoheng and growing old during the day.
During the wedding night, Xie Shaoheng didn't even look at her. He got himself drunk and stumbled around, but he didn't forget to spend the night with his concubine, making people all over the capital laugh at her Shen family jokes.
Just two years after Shen Zhiyi took the post, he received the news that the Nine Clans had been executed.
Thousands of members of the entire clan suffered a terrible death, and their blood flowed like rivers...
The funny thing is that the night before, she was still copying scriptures and praying for the emperor.
Over the years, how many civil strife has Shen helped this dog emperor put down? How many kingdoms have you conquered?
Shen Zhiyi's entire face was burned to a bloody pulp, and the hot dagger poked at her rotting flesh, and the exposed white bones could be clearly seen.
She suppressed the nausea and swallowed the blood in her throat. She almost fainted from the pain and looked at him fiercely, "Get out——"
The black bamboo jade pendant left by her mother-in-law was her only thought in this world. Even if she threw it away to feed the dogs, there was no way Xie Shaoheng could use it to make Shen Qinghe happy.
Shen Zhiyi raised her head with difficulty to look at Xie Shaoheng and Shen Qinghe, and couldn't help but sneer. Her brows were cold with regret, and she roared with her last breath:
"Xie Shaoheng! Shen Qinghe! I wish you all the rest of your life to die violently, have a weak relationship, and never end well!"
Blood drops fell along the lines of the skin.
After being tortured by these tortures during this period, it is not easy for Shen Zhiyi to survive to this day.
"Tsk", Xie Shaoheng shook his hand hard, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes,
The Shen family has great military exploits and outstanding achievements. The eldest son of the Shen family has guarded the border alone for more than ten years. He is highly respected among the people. How can he dare to stay in such a family?
The Shen family indirectly killed her mother-in-law, and they still wanted to marry her? He had been pretending for so many years to make Shen Zhiyi fall in love with him and be devoted to him.
He can seize the opportunity to kill them all and avoid future troubles forever.
"Someone, throw away the mass graves and improve the food for the wild dogs."
After that, Xie Shaoheng turned and left without looking at Shen Zhiyi.
Crazy woman, you should have died long ago.
"The queen is really pitiful. She can't even keep her whole body."
The slave next to her quickly covered her mouth and made a silent gesture to her.
"We servants are pitiful. No matter which master these words fall into, it will kill both of us. Are you tired of living?"
The wounds on Shen Zhiyi's body had rotted away. The two of them suppressed their nausea and carried her to the back hill outside the city.
This is a mass grave. Most of the people buried in the small mounds are those who committed crimes. The bones scattered randomly are even more eerie and terrifying.
Suddenly, thunder exploded, lightning flashed in the sky, and heavy snow fell in the sky. The two maids were wearing thin clothes and just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong. They threw the body bags away with all their strength.
Shen Zhiyi fell rapidly and hit a stone on her waist. The pain from the wound made her feel that she was still alive.
She grabbed the weeds, rolled down a few times until they couldn't hold her weight, and repeated several times before finally stopping.
It was pitch black all around, raindrops were hitting Shen Zhiyi's body, but the pain of digging out his heart and bones was gradually disappearing. Shen Zhiyi tentatively reached out and groped around, but there was mud all around.
Shen Zhiyi sat up suddenly, was she not dead? The injuries on his body have also healed.
wrong......
Shen Zhiyi hurriedly groped around her waist and found the jade pendant left for her by her mother-in-law, and then looked around.
This is...a mass grave? The place where I got lost when I was seventeen?
I'm back?
There was no time to think so much, Shen Zhiyi just wanted to return home quickly.
It had been too long since they had seen their relatives, and their faces were gradually covered with mist in their memory. Shen Zhiyi clenched the jade pendant tightly in her hands, and her nails were embedded in her flesh, and blood dripped down her palms.
It was a deserted place with a radius of ten miles. Shen Zhiyi planned to walk back directly, but the night enveloped her and she didn't pay attention. She fell down and was bruised all over her face.
"Stop, you can't run away!"
