Ying was silent for a long while before nodding: "Yes, I know this is cruel, but I have to say it. King Heng ordered me to make Miss Li pregnant this month. It can be seen that he is very anxious, and the child in your belly is extremely important to him. Miss Li, have you ever thought about what he wants this child to do?"

Ying's voice was trembling, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of vinegar-soaked cotton, making him feel so uncomfortable that he almost suffocated.

Thinking of the child in her previous life whom she had never even seen, Li Shuangwan felt a piercing pain.

Her child, the one she carried for ten months, became someone else's medicine before he even had the chance to see this world.

And she actually raised the child who drank her son's blood for nine years.

Whenever she thought of this, she wished she could poke her own eyes out. How blind must she be to not realize that this was not her child.

Li Shuangwan suppressed her surging tears, her voice choking with sobs: "Are you worried that if I can't get pregnant this month, he will find another substitute?"

"Yes. So, we must leave Prince Heng's Mansion within a month." Ying's voice had returned to calm.

"Then have you ever thought that no matter whether I am pregnant this month or not, Ling Heng will not let you live?"

"I know."

"So, what about you? Have you ever thought about how to escape from Prince Heng's Mansion?"

Ying was shocked. He didn't expect that at this moment, Miss Li would be thinking about his safety.

"You can't even protect yourself, and you're still thinking about me? In order to control you, Ling Heng has planted poison in all the secret guards. If you don't take the antidote in time every month, you will die of intestinal ulcers in seven days."

Ying suddenly smiled, suppressing the overwhelming discomfort in his chest: "I will find a way."

He didn't have a foolproof solution. This poison was specially prepared by Ling Heng, and no one had the antidote except him.

All he could do was to live a miserable life and linger for a few more years.

Every time the poison takes effect, I wish I could just run into a wall and die there immediately.

"My subordinates are not important. The most urgent matter is that Miss Li, you must sever your ties with King Heng as soon as possible."

Ying looked at Li Shuangwan with burning eyes. If possible, he would like to take Li Shuangwan away with him right now.

But he doesn't deserve it.

Li Shuangwan certainly wanted to do that, but she had not yet avenged the great hatred in her previous life, and was unwilling to let Ling Heng live a good life in this world day by day.

What's more, it's not just Ling Heng who has harmed her entire Li family. She wants to make them all go to hell one by one!

Seeing that Li Shuangwan was still silent, Ying continued, "Half a year ago, the young lady's martial arts were abolished, and it was Prince Heng who did it. The young lady's martial arts were extremely high, and he was worried about leaving you in the backyard of Prince Heng's mansion, so he ordered people to abolish your martial arts. You still have poison in your body now."

Li Shuangwan looked up when he heard that, staring straight at the person in the darkness: "You, how did you know?"

In her previous life, it was not until she died that she heard it from Ling Heng’s own mouth.

Ying clenched his fists. How could he not know? If Ling Heng hadn't said that she was poisoned and could only be expelled by giving birth, how could he...

I just feel ashamed.

"I have been investigating this matter for the past two days, and I finally found out today."

Li Shuangwan stared at Ying in the darkness in disbelief. In her previous life, she had been searching for ten years without success, but Ying had found the answer in just two days?

This, how is this possible!

She asked tentatively, "So, the poison in my body can only be cured by getting pregnant and giving birth to a child. You also know that?"

"Yes."

"You are lying!" Li Shuangwan lowered his voice and shouted.

Ying fell to his knees.

Li Shuangwan stood up, walked in front of Ying, and said, "You can't be just a low-level secret guard in Prince Heng's mansion. Without manpower, sources of information, and a lot of money, you can't do it. So, Ying, who are you?"

She has been thinking about this question since her rebirth.

Ying tightened his jaw and clenched his fists. He knew that Li Shuangwan was extremely smart.

But he had let her down too much, and he didn't have the face to tell her who he was.

Without waiting for Ying to speak, Li Shuangwan continued, "And you said Liang Tianyou and Shu Wenbo were your subordinates. Ha, you just came out of Linshan, so you should be the lowest-ranking secret guard in Prince Heng's mansion, how can you say you have subordinates!"

"Even if they really have subordinates, they should use code names instead of their real names! So, Ying, who are you?"

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Miss Li, you are overthinking. I am indeed just a low-level secret guard in Prince Heng's Palace. I was just lucky enough to find some clues."

"Humph, it's okay if you don't want to tell me. Sooner or later I will find out the truth."

As for the person who sent them the hundred plants, she would find out everything.

The next morning, Li Shuangwan just woke up.

Luo Man said with a pale face: "Princess, I just saw Butler Wu dragging Mama Liu's body out of the woodshed. He said he was going to throw it into the mass grave to feed the wild dogs."

Li Shuangwan paused: "Is he dead?"

"Yes, he's dead. I saw blood coming out of his body from all seven orifices, as if he had been poisoned. Tsk tsk, it's so scary."

Li Shuangwan nodded slightly: "Where are the others?"

"Three people died at once, while the others were working peacefully."

A smile appeared on Li Shuangwan's lips. She had guessed Ling Heng's character.

If she had punished Mother Liu yesterday, even if it was just a few beatings, Ling Heng would most likely have interrogated her personally.

Many things cannot withstand close scrutiny and examination.

If she was thrown into the woodshed and left to Ling Heng's disposal, then Mother Liu would definitely die.

Besides, how could Mrs. Liu, an old woman, have the courage to release a poisonous snake, especially in the middle of winter?

It's just a psychological warfare.

"Go tell Butler Wu that since there are snakes in the East Courtyard, there may be snakes in other places as well. Ask him to send someone to check thoroughly. The New Year is almost here."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Yizhu: "Princess, I saw that Butler Wu had ordered the guards in the mansion to investigate early this morning. Why did you ask Luo Man to tell him?"

Li Shuangwan said: "You will understand in a moment."

Sure enough, not long after, Roman came over with his arms swung, "Princess, Princess, it turns out that Butler Wu has been ordering everyone in the mansion to look for snakes since early morning."

"I didn't know until I checked. Once I checked, I found out there are really snakes in the mansion. There are both poisonous and non-poisonous ones."

Li Shuangwan raised her eyebrows at Yizhu, meaning, did you see it? This was the news she wanted to know.

In the afternoon, Chen Ping came and handed over the box in his hand respectfully: "Princess, I have done what you asked me to do."

Roman hurriedly took the thing from Chen Ping and handed it to Li Shuangwan.

Li Shuangwan opened the box and took out the golden hairpin. From the outside, it looked like just a finely crafted hairpin.

She pulled it out from the hairpin with a swish.

Roman was startled to see that the end of the hairpin hidden inside was extremely sharp and made of black iron. It shone coldly in the sunlight, like a miniature dagger.

Li Shuangwan was extremely satisfied. Chen Ping did an excellent job in the first task he was given.

"This, this is..." Roman asked stutteringly.

"A murderous weapon!"
