Without the Emperors pardon, the convicted party would need to stay exiled for the rest of their life.

Compared to a fate of exile, being only kicked out of the imperial capital without being allowed to return was infinitely better.

Chen Xupings guilt felt slightly lighter.

At the very least, his family did not end up with too tragic a fate. Otherwise, he would never be able to pay them back even if he had died multiple times over.

Zhao Heng poured him a cup of tea.

Chen Xuping took a sip and remembered something. He asked, You didnt tell Lu Yunshuang where we were, did you?

Zhao Heng felt a little guilty when he heard this. I had no idea you two had fallen out. When I saw how worried she was about you, I had my men inform her of our location when I brought you out of the imperial capital

Chen Xuping frowned and stood up. We shouldnt stay here any longer then. Lets go.

Zhao Heng asked, Youve fallen out with her anyway. Whats there to be afraid of?

Chen Xuping shook his head. Im not afraid of her, but she must harbor some ulterior motive for getting you to save me. She must think that I still have value and can be made use of. If I still havent seen through her after going through so much and continue to help her obediently, Im no better than a beast. She made my family suffer such a dire situation. I must have my revenge on her!

Are you planning to kill her? Zhao Heng was surprised, but at the thought of Chen Xupings words, he felt this was only right.

Chen Xuping had ended up in his current state because of Lu Yunshuang. Moreover, he had been deceived by her for many years. She had played him and tricked him into thinking a venomous woman like her was a fairy.

If he was a man, he should take revenge!

A melancholy feeling came over Zhao Heng at the thought of how Chen Xuping used to give Lu Yunshuang everything he had.

Chen Xuping could not wait to hand over his life to her back then. Zhao Heng had been unable to let this stand and had tried advising Chen Xuping, who refused to listen to him and ended up sinking deeper into his obsession.

Zhao Heng believed that one should never ever cross a woman.

Otherwise, you would end up getting the short end of the stick, and worse, being unable to even regret it.

She lied to me for so many years and I had mistaken her for a good person, treating Lu Liangwei as the enemy instead. I even nearly killed Lin Qingyuan because of Lu Yunshuang, Chen Xuping went on with some disgust for himself.

He was a hot-blooded man who had been played by a woman like a toy.

He had ended up losing his fiance and his familys house was confiscated.

He must have his revenge.

If not for her, he would never have ended up this way.

Hate flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Heng was startled. Are you really planning to kill her? How would you

Chen Xuping did not say a word. All he did was dart Zhao Heng a look and strode out of the house.

Zhao Heng followed behind, having no idea what was going through Chen Xupings mind.

Eastern Palace.

Lu Yunshuang finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Chen Xuping had been successfully rescued by Zhao Heng.

As long as Chen Xuping was not dead, she could figure out a way to change his identity so that he could continue working for her.

First and foremost, the person she would need to take care of was Chen Qiyu.

Ever since the incident at the brothel had blown up, Lu Yunshuang had been having trouble with executing her plans. Chen Qiyu had the protection of the Empress Dowagers men, and Lu Yunshuang did not dare to simply take action.

However, Lu Yunshuang could not bear to watch as Chen Qiyu gave birth to a child.

She must ensure that Chen Qiyus child would die in the womb, or find a way to make Chen Qiyu disappear.

Chen Xuping was the best candidate to take care of Chen Qiyu.

As Chen Qiyu was pregnant, she could not join the trip to Cool Mountains for the Autumn Hunt. She would need to stay alone in the Eastern Palace, and if an assassin had snuck in to kill her, Chen Qiyu could only count herself unlucky. No one would ever connect the murder to Lu Yunshuang.

She had planned this out thoroughly, but when night fell, Hong Xiu returned with the message that no one was able to locate Chen Xuping and Zhao Heng.

Even the innkeeper of Yuelai Inn had no idea where they were.

Furious, Lu Yunshuang smashed the cup in her hand.

What does Chen Xuping mean by this? I took the trouble to save his life and this is how he repays me?
