Who would raise a villain as a wife?

Cen Li's cold voice came, "Do you know medical skills?"

He Yunjing came back to his senses and hummed, "The pills I give you won't be discovered by others, but the wound on her face can't heal too quickly, so just think of it as giving them a sweet dream."

Cen Li looked at He Yunjing in surprise. He thought He Yunjing was unwilling to give it, but it turned out that this was what he thought.

He Yunjing smiled at Cen Li's gaze and said, "I have taken over his body, so I should live as him. However, I didn't know the relationship between you two before, so I have to add some chips."

"and you....."

He Yunjing interrupted him directly, "I won't leave. Give up on this idea."

Cen Li didn't hold much hope in the first place, and his eyes returned to indifference. They didn't speak again along the way after that.

After returning to the palace, He Yunjing saw the heroine Ruan Qingrou at the door of the bedroom. Her original beauty had been disguised into a delicate appearance, which was still pretty.

Because that night everyone in the palace thought Ruan Qingrou was his woman, but in fact it was Ruan Qingrou who drugged him and made him have erotic dreams all night.

He Yunjing curled the corners of his mouth, bent down, stretched out his hand and pulled Ruan Qingrou into the bedroom. He could feel a pair of eyes staring at him from behind. It was from Cen Li, who would probably have some suspicion.

He Yunjing didn't care. He had already shown enough sincerity and the suspicion should only be temporary.

He did not go to the imperial study that day. After lunch, he took Ruan Qingrou for a stroll in the imperial garden. The flowers were blooming beautifully in the spring, but it was a pity that there were no roses.

He Yunjing picked a few beautiful flowers and took them back, putting them in a blue and white porcelain vase.

When it got dark, He Yunjing sent Ruan Qingrou away. Not long after, Cen Li came with a look of displeasure, presumably because there was nothing good written on the memorial.

He Yunjing took out the map of the capital and spread it on the table, pointing his finger at a place in the south of the city. "Let the Jinyiwei guard here. Once they catch the person, they will be seized immediately and their property will be confiscated as quickly as possible. Don't report it or make it public. The faster the better. Don't give them a chance to react."

Cen Li looked at the location on the map. It was some distance away from Hu Zhi's residence. If the news leaked, there would be a risk of transfer.

Cen Li nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, wanting to handle the matter himself.

He Yunjing held him back, "Don't be so anxious. We may not be able to wait till tonight. Just arrange the troops. Does the matter of confiscating the property need to be done in person by the Ninth Prince?"

Cen Li looked down at the hand that was holding his wrist and said, "Let go of it too. I need to go out and arrange for someone."

He Yunjing let go after hearing that and looked at him with a smile, "Come back soon, I'll be waiting for you."

Cen Li agreed and arranged for someone to explain everything in detail before returning. He Yunjing was already lying on the bed, leaving the space outside the bed empty.

Cen Li took off his clothes and hung them up, then turned around and wanted to go to the small couch by the window.

He Yunjing stopped him and said, "I have given you so many benefits, why can't you satisfy this little request?"

He Yunjing looked at him sideways, "The condition for treating my aunt's face is that you sleep on the same bed with me, do you agree or not?"

This request was a bit strange. Cen Li looked at the person on the bed. He couldn't understand He Yunjing's purpose, nor could he see through this person.

He Yunjing patted the seat next to him, "Come up, we are all grown men, are you afraid of what I can do?"

Cen Li really didn't need to be afraid of anything. Thinking that He Yunjing had indeed offered treatment, he obeyed and lay down obediently beside He Yunjing.

The candlelight flickered, and He Yunjing looked sideways at Cen Li, "What do you want to do in the future?"

Cen Li lay upright with his eyes open, not answering He Yunjing's words. He had already taken revenge and no longer had any wishes, so he didn't know what he wanted to do.

He Yunjing continued, "You are a normal person now. Have you ever thought about getting married and having children?"

"My identity is known to everyone. Even if I were healthy, I would still be a disabled person."

"If you want, I can let you change your appearance and become an ordinary person. We can take Aunt Yuer and leave the capital, and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down, away from all these right and wrongs." He Yunjing said sincerely. In fact, this was the ending he wanted most, but he didn't know whether Cen Li was willing.

Cen Li glanced at him sideways and said calmly, "If that day really comes, please keep them safe."

"What about you?" He Yunjing had a bad feeling in his heart. Ever since he met Cen Li, his eyes rarely showed any emotion, and most of the time they were dead silent.

It's like an empty shell without soul and emotions, living just for the sake of living, but this way of living can lose vitality at any time.

Cen Li's heart is seeking death...

Thinking of this possibility, He Yunjing's heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously held Cen Li's hand, "You have to think clearly, if you die, those who followed you will not have a good end, and I, the puppet, will also die. Even if the soul is not, this body is Rongzhu's child, do you really not care?"

Cen Li's eyes trembled slightly, and he withdrew his gaze from the tension and worry in He Yunjing's eyes.

He no longer had any relatives. He had used hatred to sustain himself for fourteen years, and had been the Nine Thousand Year Old Man for another three years out of guilt towards Rong Zhu.

If it was the original He Yunjing, he would definitely be afraid. He knew very well that if he died, the original He Yunjing would have no way out.

But He Yunjing is different now. He is smart and capable. As long as He Yunjing is given time, he will be able to stabilize the court. Then, the situation can be completely settled by executing this treacherous villain.

Seventeen years...

He has forgotten his loved ones and has completely forgotten what he originally looked like.

Looking back now, he vowed to be a good official like his father, upright and honest, before the incident.

But in these seventeen years, he killed countless people and schemed everywhere, and the hatred and resentment in his heart stained the palace with indelible blood.

He became the traitor that his father hated the most, and the biggest traitor in the entire court, and everyone had the right to kill him.

There is no going back. He has no face to see his father in the afterlife, and he feels guilty towards his brother for failing to protect Rongzhu and causing her to die to protect him.

The person he felt most sorry for was Rong Zhu. He failed to save Rong Zhu's brother, failed to protect Rong Nian, and now he couldn't even keep Rong Zhu's only child.

He seemed to have done everything in the past seventeen years, but he could not leave anything behind.

Cen Li closed his eyes, suppressed the pain in his heart, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is Rong Nian's health?"

He Yunjing didn't want to mention this at first, for fear of hurting Cen Li's feelings, but now that Cen Li asked him, he couldn't avoid it and could only tell the truth.

"She has had too many miscarriages, and her body is severely depleted, which has damaged her foundation. The medicines I prescribed today are all common medicines. I will give her special medicines after a few months of recuperation, and she will be able to have a child in the future."

Cen Li felt relieved, but still felt a tingling pain.

When the Rong family was in trouble, he was alone and weak, and the Rong brothers and sisters were far away at the border, so he could not do anything.

By the time he finally had his own power, Rong Cheng and his wife had died, and Rong Nian's appearance was disfigured and his body was injured.
