Longevity begins with a negative heart

Chapter 1 Wedges
Shuhua stood on the top of the tall Star-Zhaing Tower and looked down.

The downstairs was surrounded by soldiers, swords were unsheathed, arrows were on the strings, and countless machine formations flashed with silver light from time to time, all to prevent her from escaping.

"Empress, come down quickly! You can't leave!"

A group of palace people cried miserably.

"Mom, think about your loved ones at home! They all depend on you for their lives!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is sincere to you. He makes you the Queen. He wears fine clothes and good food, and is obedient. Everything he does is for you! What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Shuhua was very disgusted.

It was really ridiculous that a false marriage that was full of deceit, killing, and coercion and was never acknowledged by her actually required her to be submissive and content.

If she were not born with special powers, she could call the wind and rain to ensure smooth weather and good harvests in Guo.

If she had not been given an auspicious name, marrying her would be beneficial to the fight for the throne.

Would Murong Hao still beg to marry her so crazily and desperately?

What kind of sincerity would lead to someone else pretending to be someone else's identity and talent, ignoring her wishes, and taking advantage of her by force?

What kind of sincerity would it take to use the safety of her loved ones to coerce her, and even after they are dead, conceal the information and continue to intimidate her?
What kind of sincerity would lead to the execution of the people closest to her by beheading her alive in front of the Star-Zhailing Tower, and also strictly ordering all the people in the palace not to talk to her without his permission?

What kind of sincerity would lead to setting up countless checkpoints and heavy troops outside the Star Reaching Palace to imprison her there?

She doesn't eat this set!
Now that relatives are deceased, the bonds are gone, and there is no need to spend time with dead people.

She is just waiting for someone.

A poor man who gave up everything for her and was dragged into the endless abyss because of her was the only warmth and attachment she had left in this world - Mu Yusheng.

The sun slid down the sky little by little, and just as the moon was about to rise, a figure finally walked down the long corridor.

He was wearing the lowest-grade palace uniform. He was tall, thin, pale and weak. He had to take a break after walking a few steps.

But he looked majestic, with straight shoulders and back. He raised his head and looked up at Shuhua standing on the roof facing the wind. In his dark eyes, apart from the sky and the earth, there was only her.

In the dark blue sky, on one side hangs the blood-like setting sun, on the other side floats the pale moon. The scarlet red and gold embroidered skirt is as warm and bright as flames. She is his god.

Mu Yusheng used all his strength to maintain his demeanor, walked slowly downstairs to the Star Reaching Tower, and met Shuhua's eyes.

The two of them didn't say anything, but they said everything.

The palace man looked strange.

A mute slave who cannot speak has a low status, but he is talented and charming. If he is more obedient, it will not be difficult for him to live a smooth life.

However, he overestimated his ability and dared to disobey His Majesty and willingly entered the palace for the Queen's sake, doing the lowest and most despicable hard labor and suffering all kinds of torture and humiliation.

Picture what?does it worth?
If His Majesty hadn't been worried that the Queen's death would affect the overall situation, he would have rotted into a pulp.

The Queen is also strange. She does not love the powerful, strong and noble Majesty, but only loves this humble and mute slave with a mutilated body.

Picture what?does it worth?
Anyway, they don't understand.

But no matter what, now that Mu Yusheng is here, the Queen has stopped.

Shuhua jumped off the roof lightly, and his eyes fell on Mu Yusheng's back - the crow-green robe was soaked with blood and wet and sticky. It was obvious that he had just been abused.

"Does it hurt?" she asked in a low voice, as if louder would make it hurt more.

Mu Yusheng smiled and shook his head, making a few gestures, saying that seeing her was the happiest thing, and gently comforted her not to be sad about the death of her relatives.

Shuhua stared at his hands.

These hands had written countless talented poems and songs that resonated with her, but now they were covered with burns and knife wounds. The thumb and index finger holding the pen were cut off at the root, and the scars that had not yet healed were hideous and ugly.

Murong Haotai knows how to break a person's pride.

Realizing her gaze, the light on Mu Yusheng's face instantly dimmed, and he clumsily covered his hands with his sleeves and hid them behind his back.

Shuhua calmed down and whispered: "Let's leave together for the Harvest Festival celebration tomorrow night."

Mu Yusheng opened his eyes suddenly, unable to hide his melancholy after the surprise.Shuhua was determined and calmly asked the palace people to take him away.

Guo State is a farming country, and the Harvest Festival celebration is the most important festival of the year.

She has a special status and is an "auspicious person" who can control the wind and rain. She must go to Gan Terrace to pray for good weather and good harvests in the coming year.

Murong Hao refused to let her go last year, and a severe drought in the east caused civil unrest, which was not settled until the beginning of this year.

If the people don't see her show up to pray for blessings this year, suspicion will spread and the government and the public will be shaken. For this reason, Murong Hao must let her out of the palace and appear in front of others.

As long as she leaves the Star Reaching Palace, it will be her chance.

Shuhua completed the blessing ceremony meticulously. This was her last gift to the people of Guo State, wishing them good weather and good harvests.

At the zenith of the moon, a large bonfire was lit on the Gan terrace, drums were played, the emperor and empress appeared on the stage, and cheers of "Long live" came one after another.

Shuhua forcefully waved away Murong Hao's outstretched hand, tore off the queen's dress in front of him, smashed the phoenix crown, summoned wind and rain, threw off the pursuers, and escaped smoothly.

Her strength was limited, so she had to sacrifice 20 years of life and good fortune in exchange for a monk to escort Mu Yusheng to join her.

"Let's find a seclusion in a deserted mountain forest, farm and hunt together, and spend the rest of our lives together. You have to be good to me, and I have to be good to you."

Shuhua pictured the future and drank the nectar water handed over by Mu Yusheng. Just as she was about to praise him for his thoughtfulness, she lost consciousness.

Shuhua was awakened by the pain.

She saw her blood flowing all over the floor, and a huge gash opened under her left rib. Mu Yusheng's hand was inserted into her flesh and blood, clutching her heart tightly.

His dark eyes stared at her, panic-stricken with a hint of comfort.

"Stop it, it hurts..." Shuhua screamed, she was so scared, was this a nightmare?Mu Yusheng couldn't possibly treat her like this!
But she still couldn't get rid of this nightmare, but she couldn't die. She could only beg desperately: "I beg you, for the rest of your life, don't do this to me..."

A lover's secret arrow is the most difficult to guard against, and also the coldest and most painful.

Mu Yusheng pursed his lips tightly, covered her eyes with one hand, and forcefully pulled out her heart with the other.

Shuhua screamed and fainted.

She saw another transparent version of herself floating into the air, life leaving her body little by little.

Starlight scattered, transforming into a cold and solemn face, which gradually merged with Mu Yusheng's face.

"Lingze?" Shuhua stared at this face blankly, suddenly thinking of many things.

It happened in the previous life. She was the daughter of Nanshan Taoist Master, a proud cultivation genius, and a bitter couple with Lingze Shenjun of Yunzhong Palace.

Shen Jun was ruthless and he didn't love her, so she gave him a divorce letter and before leaving, she stole his Chun Ze Qin Bu and made a rain. As a result, she was severely punished and lost everything.

She has lived a miserable life, which shows that the punishment is not yet over.

What she didn't understand was why he came here and played with her like this as Mu Yusheng.

Do you hate her?He hates her for abandoning him, so he wants revenge?But that's not right. Isn't he heartless and without anger?

Before she could figure it out, she saw Mu Yusheng put her heart on the ground, took out cinnabar, talismans, peach wood cones and other objects, and formed a formation to kill evil.

Shuhua laughed in shock. It turned out that she was evil in his eyes!

All of this was just to kill her and get rid of the evil spirits in her body?
It's a sin to have powers and be different, even if she has never done anything bad.

How ironic!It’s really hard on him, he has been so just and ruthless in both lives!

But why should she be treated so cruelly by him in her two lifetimes? !What did she do wrong? !

With hatred like fire, Shuhua rushed back to his physical body, burned out all his life force, and stabbed the dagger fiercely into Mu Yusheng's belly.

Mu Yusheng grabbed her shoulders in surprise, opening and closing his lips silently, and tears fell heavily from his dark eyes.

Shuhua gritted his teeth, stirred the dagger, and sneered: "You bitch, I just wish I could cut you into pieces!"

From now on, she will never fall in love with any man again or be deceived again.
