Pain, tearing pain spread throughout his body, a burning sensation that affected every weak nerve.

Gu Jingyao tried her best to raise her eyes, but it was as if there was a shot put on her eyelids, so heavy that she had no way to control it.

His arm was tied with a rope, his body was placed on a bench, and his back was hit by something.

The sound of flesh being split could be clearly heard, and the pain in his eardrums was excruciating.

Gu Jingyao knew that her back must have been badly injured, but she didn't have the strength to get rid of it.

"Splash the bucket of cold water to wake Princess Anping up." A cold male voice sounded from the other side, causing Gu Jingyao's body to tremble subconsciously.

Puff!

A bucket of ice-cold water was poured over her head. Gu Jingyao cried out in shock, but her voice sounded weak and flirtatious.

A memory that did not belong to her was forced into her mind, carrying a hint of fear.

It was the same name as Gu Jingyao, but the living environment and outlook on life were completely different, and the woman in his memories had an honorable identity.

His father, Gu Haotian, was the only King with a different surname in the dynasty — the King of Ping. The original owner was conferred the title of Princess An Ping by Qin, and he was the apple of the eye in the family.

But Gu Haotian, due to his subordinate's grace of saving his life, adopted her as an orphan, and named her Gu Yaoyi. Since childhood, she has been weak and sickly, and the entire Ping Marquis Mansion attached great importance to her, for fear that she would be wronged.

However, Gu Yaoyi wasn't a person who knew how to be grateful. When the original owner treated her as his sister, she had actually stolen away the affection from the original owner. Furthermore, she had repeatedly embarrassed the original owner and ruined his reputation as a jealous woman.

Last night, the original owner was plotted by Gu Yaoyi to have a relationship with her husband, Ling Xiao. However, the former couldn't bear the torture of her body and heart and died, leaving behind only resentment.

As for why her soul had penetrated this space instead, Gu Jingyao had no clue.

"All of you, step down!" The man's cold voice rang out as he walked with large strides to Gu Jingyao's side. He extended his hand to pinch her chin before raising his head without a shred of mercy.

"The Ping Wang with countless battle achievements actually has a lowly eldest daughter like you. This is the biggest stain of my life! Gu Jingyao, I'm sparing your life this time out of respect for the Ping Wang. If you dare to drug this duke again, this king will cripple your position as concubine! "

Forcefully accepting the memories left behind by the original owner caused Gu Jingyao's mind to be in a mess, but the crucial point remained clear.

Prince Zhennan was the fifth prince of the current dynasty. He was her current husband in name, but he was also the man who had lost his life after being tossed around the bed.

Gu Jingyao looked at the man before her with a pair of cold eyes and a sneer on her face. She felt sorry for the original owner of her beauty.

It was undeniable that Ling Xiao, who practiced martial arts for a long time, had a face that would cause most women to be enchanted.

Especially that masculine spirit, it made a woman's heart beat even faster.

Remnants of his memory, Ling Xiao's physique was perfect without flaw.

However, this kind of man was merciless to the extreme. He was the man that the original owner should never have been tempted by. Furthermore, Gu Jingyao had kept her distance from him.

The original owner's memories filled Gu Jingyao's mind.

In order to protect Gu Yaoyi, scenes of Ling Xiao disregarding the original owner's feelings and honor had flashed past Gu Jingyao's eyes.

What was most unacceptable to Gu Jingyao was that Ling Xiao actually spent the whole night in front of Gu Yaoyi's bed on her wedding night.

The next day, Ling Xiao came to the door and accused the original owner of the murder of Gu Yaoyi.

The original owner's wet nurse admitted that she was the one who poisoned Ling Xiao and almost got beaten to death. In the end, she could only return to the village to retire with the agreement and the money the original owner had given her.

Even after the wet nurse had been charged with the crime, Ling Xiao still forced the original owner to apologize to Gu Yaoyi. In order to ease the tension, the original owner had no choice but to send all the married couples back to Ping Marquis Mansion, leaving only Lv Hee, who had kowtowed to Gu Yaoyi.

Ling Xiao, on the other hand, didn't show up even though Gu Yaoyi was sick and needed attention. The original owner told Lv Hee to send a letter saying that she had to take care of Gu Yaoyi and would come back another day.

The original owner had begged again and again, not caring about the face of Ping Marquis Mansion, but he still couldn't get even the slightest bit of Ling Xiao's tenderness.

A man that could not differentiate between true beauty and the white lotus was not worthy of moving her heart.

"You have guts. You'll cripple me now, or else you'll definitely regret it." Gu Jingyao was trembling, her words unclear. However, her eyes were full of hatred.

"Say that again!" Ling Xiao didn't expect Gu Jingyao, who used all kinds of means to marry him, to actually say such words and give the order in a low voice.

"In the past, Gu Jingyao was blind, so she would wholeheartedly fall in love with a man like you. But from now on, I, Gu Jingyao, will never put my heart on you even the slightest bit. If you have the guts, then divorce me, and we can settle our previous matters, or else you can just wait for my revenge! "

Gu Jingyao purposely angered Ling Xiao, wishing that he could throw down a piece of paper in exchange for her freedom.

Ling Xiao pinched Gu Jingyao's finger and increased his strength by 20%. His sharp eyes locked onto Gu Jingyao's eyes, trying to pry into her true intentions.

However, within Gu Jingyao's black and white eyes, besides the strong hatred, there was no trace of the gentle, watery adoration that she once had.

He didn't know why, but Ling Xiao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. This feeling made him unable to meet Gu Jingyao's gaze.

Flinging away Gu Jingyao's chin in disgust, Ling Xiao stood up straight and looked down at her condescendingly. He said with disdain, "Retreat makes progress. You have improved, but this move is useless against me."

"Damn you!" Gu Jingyao cursed in a low voice.

Thinking that Ling Xiao could not hear her, and unable to raise her head, she could not see Ling Xiao's shocked eyes. She only muttered to herself: "One day, I will divorce you and burn your Zhennan Marquis Mansion to the ground, making you a stray dog!"

Ling Xiao saw that she could faint at any moment, so he thought Gu Jingyao was just spouting nonsense.

He didn't take it to heart, but the disgust in his heart increased once again.

A woman who was born in the opposite sex and was raised as a princess since she was young had actually drugged him with such despicable medicine and even cursed at him. How could she take on Princess Consort of Zhennan Marquis?

"Gu Jingyao, from today onwards, you are forbidden to think about anything. Without this king's permission, you are not allowed to take even a single step out of the Meditation Garden." After Ling Xiao said that, he left in big strides, not wanting to stay for another moment.

They didn't know that after Gu Jingyao had said those harsh words, she had already fainted, and couldn't hear what he had said at all.

The cold wind blew into the room and ruffled Gu Jingyao's long hair and clothes, but it couldn't wake her up.

"Mistress, please wake up!"

Lv Hee, the servant girl, knelt outside for an hour. Her legs were numb, and she had crawled to Gu Jingyao's side.

However, one person was unable to support Gu Jingyao at all. He cried out anxiously, "Someone come quickly! The wangfei fainted. Please, doctor, call for a doctor! "

However, even though Lv Hee cried herself hoarse, no one came to help.

Gu Jingyao finally came to her senses after a night of unconsciousness.

What entered his sight was still that ancient bed, and the pain from his body hadn't disappeared.

The memory of humiliating the original owner to death lingered in Gu Jingyao's mind.

Due to 'carelessness', the original owner had the intention to drug Ling Xiao when he heard the conversation. However, what he bought was only ordinary aphrodisiac. For some reason, it had become a potent drug that could make one's body burn with desire.

After a night of suffering, the original owner's body was severely injured. In addition to Ling Xiao's humiliation after regaining consciousness, the original owner lost the desire to live under heavy responsibility and left the world in grief and indignation.

Gu Jingyao did not manage to find out who the person changing the medicine was from her memories, but she could guess that it definitely had something to do with Gu Yaoyi. Other than her, no one else would have this kind of thought.

"Mistress has finally woken up. Your servant is worried to death." With reddened eyes, Lv Hee kneeled beside the bed.

"Lv Hee, I want some water." Gu Jingyao's back was injured, so she could only lie there. This posture made her throat feel even worse.

"This servant will go and pour the water now." Lv Hee got up quickly and poured the water into the bowl, feeding Gu Jingyao spoonful by spoonful.

Gu Jingyao's throat was no longer burning, and she finally felt alive.

"Mistress must heal her wounds as soon as possible, otherwise, this Prince's Mansion will become Second Miss's. Your highness only sent a doctor, but didn't look at your highness at all. Second Miss actually has the authority to give you information.

Lv Hee told Gu Jingyao what had happened worriedly, afraid that she would lose her will to fight.

"Pet a concubine to destroy her wife?" Gu Jingyao sniggered as she spoke in a light tone, "I was wrong. That white lotus is at most a warm bed item and not even a concubine.

"Master is right, Second Miss Ming unjustly lives here, and is not afraid of damaging Ping Marquis Mansion's reputation, master cannot just ignore her, you are the first daughter of Ping Marquis Mansion, and even a princess bestowed a title upon you!" Lv Hee cheered from the side.

Gu Jingyao smiled helplessly as she moved her arm and touched the wound. The burning pain forced her to accept the reality of her teleportation.

"Hai." Gu Jingyao sighed. It would be hard to walk on the road in the future. Even though she had inherited a set of medical skills, she didn't have the time to use them.

If one wanted to obtain freedom, one would have to strip Princess Consort of Zhennan Marquis of her title. However, it was not so easy to get married by the Emperor.

"Elder sister has been wronged, it's all because of little sister. Her body wasn't well last night, so she couldn't come to save elder sister in time. I hope elder sister can forgive my sister this time." "Cough, cough, cough …"

Gu Jingyao's thoughts were interrupted by the soft sound of a woman coughing.
