Pei Anan flipped through the points mall from top to bottom, contentedly figuring out what she could exchange for the 3,480 points on hand, but she didn't exchange anything, she just opened and closed it over and over again.

The side task column is dazzlingly green, which is the progress bar of the completion of the task.

Task 1: [Recruiting talents]: Chen Yanshu√

Task 2: [Women hold up half the sky]: Girls’ school construction progress 8/10; Women’s imperial examination bill progress 5/10; Women’s inheritance rights drafting progress 3/10

Task 3: [Love the people as a child]: Daily handling of government affairs 1/1

The system is strange: "Host, you have completed the side tasks well. The points mall has already discounted 50%. You can afford to buy anything in it. Why not buy it?"

Pei Annan raised her lips and smiled: "I feel happy when I look at this number."

The system was speechless. I understand. In addition to money, there are also items in the treasury, which are difficult to value. This is the first time Pei Annan has seen all assets converted into numbers and checked at any time. It is still new.

"The current blackening value of the modified object is 46, please host to keep up the good work." After saying that, the system quietly acted like a dutiful robot without saying a word.

Before Pei Annan could appreciate it any more, he heard a commotion coming from outside.

Eunuch Su shouted with tears in his eyes: "My lord, my lord, your majesty is really busy, you can't go in!"

Then I heard him scream loudly: "Stop! Stop it all! Your heads are not enough to compensate for hurting my lord!"

There is no one else but that person who can make Eunuch Su so entangled.

As soon as Pei Annan closed the points mall, Xie Chenghe barged in. Next to him, Eunuch Su had an earthy complexion.

Pei Annan looked at Xie Chenghe and raised his hand to signal Eunuch Su to go out.

"Have you been drinking?"

Xie Chenghe's face was flushed, his hair was tied up in a mess, and the hairpin leaning to one side was precarious.

There were tears in his eyes, his eyebrows were wrinkled, and he glared at Pei Annan: "No!"

Smelling of alcohol.

Pei Annan didn't want to talk to Jiu Mengzi, so she waved her hand: "Go and sober up and come to me again."

The clinker Xie Chenghe rushed forward, grabbed her hand, stared at her, and said every word: "Let me see your back."

"You don't know your own name after drinking two ounces of horse urine, do you?!" Pei Annan's expression changed, and regardless of the system warning, she reached out and pushed him to the ground and kicked him hard.

Xie Chenghe was overturned. He was so drunk that he couldn't turn over for a long time. He lay straight on the ground, his hands and feet fluttering wildly.

Pei Annan was so angry that she wanted to kill him, but looking at his funny look, she couldn't help but laugh.

Who would have thought that a gentle young man who is cool and self-possessed, with a heart as high as the sky, would look like this after drinking?

"Let me see...let me see!" Xie Chenghe was lying on the ground, his voice suddenly choked up, "Did he hit you?"

Pei Annan's smile froze on her face, staring at Xie Chenghe's red face and the uncontrollable tears in his eyes, and subconsciously reached out to touch his back.

There are dense scars there.

There were whip marks, stab wounds, and burns.

The prince was a prince as soon as he was born. The late emperor had too high demands on him and wanted him to be a generational overlord like himself. However, the prince's talent was stupid and he was not good at literature and military skills.

Everyone is staring at him, some are looking forward to him taking over, and some are looking forward to him making mistakes.

He has learned a lot since he was a child, but despite his efforts, he is unable to do anything.

The late emperor pushed him to improve all day long and often called him a waste and a fool. The queen also waited for him to become a talent, sharpened him with soft knives, told him to work harder, and made him a messy brain-boosting soup.

There was too much pressure and no way to release it, so he suppressed it and became ill.

This disease can be easily cured by killing someone.

But there were too many people dead in the East Palace, and it was inevitable that he would be impeached, and his brothers were still watching him with eager eyes.

If you can't kill them, then torture them.

Don't injure your limbs or face, because they are easy to spot. If you want to injure, just injure your back, waist and abdomen. The meat there is so tender and soft that even a slight pinch will leave purple marks.

The whip must have barbs and be immersed in salt water. It is heavy and powerful. If you whip it casually, the skin will be ripped open and the flesh will be ripped apart. The pain will be so painful that you will not be able to make a sound and will pass out.

People who learn martial arts are often beaten with knives when they are young. It hurts and is cold when slapped on them. The prince was often beaten when he was learning martial arts in his early years.

But the instructor is very skilled. He can only break the skin if it hurts, but it will never leave any scars.

The prince didn't have that many skills. With one cut, blood flowed out, and his spine suddenly thrust forward, causing his skin and flesh to tear open.

There are also burns... Pei Anan still doesn't know how to light candles or cut candle flowers herself. The servants think she is squeamish and she has to ask someone to come in and cut them no matter how late at night, but no one has ever thought about how bloody and cruel the reason behind it is.

After all, the maids and eunuchs in the Eastern Palace still have to work, and who knows where they sent their spies?

Only Pei Anan, the little princess, can step on anyone, spit on anyone, and beat her until her skin is bruised. As long as Ding Yueluo's life is threatened, she can't say a word.

So Ding Yueluo didn't know why Pei Anan had to swallow her anger in the past six years, why she wanted to learn martial arts, why she came to see her every chance she got, and observed the people around her, as vigilant as a wolf.

"An Nan..." Xie Chenghe's sobs brought Pei Annan back from his memories, "An Nan... why didn't you say it?"

Six years, six years! If he knew even once what his decision had brought to Pei Anan, he would never let this happen again.

He always felt that Pei Annan's acting skills were not that good. He could always find flaws in his smiling face and catch a bit of cunning in his eyes.

But in six years, he had never discovered what Pei Annan was going through under his nose. She didn't even try to hint or give a look, not even once.

This is what makes Xie Chenghe's heart ache the most.

Pei Annan never thought about asking for help, she never thought about it.

Even Ding Yueluo only found out about all this when she took a bath with her once, after the dust had settled, and saw the past that she had downplayed.

"Tell you what, what can you do?" Pei Annan sat down and looked away from Xie Chenghe's tears. The burning in his eyes felt better, "Do you think you can interfere with the emperor's family affairs?"

"I have been prepared to kill all of them since the first day of martial arts training. Xie Chenghe, you can't stop me."

She still remembered that the prince took her to various banquets, ostensibly to open her eyes and gain insights. In fact, in places she could not see, they clearly marked the price and auctioned off her marriage.

The identity of the crown prince's companion, who was looked down upon in the palace, was transformed from the crown prince's mouth into a princess who had been personally taught by the imperial master, and became a noble bargaining chip.

She just sat in the middle, pretending not to see the dirty looks wandering around her, with a smile on her face and thinking about how each of them would die.

This eye is too dirty and gouged out.

This smile is so disgusting, I'm going to cut it.

This is too ugly to say, so sew it up!

The death methods of all of them had been decided secretly a few years ago.

All of them are destined to die in her hands, sooner or later!

"When I was sixteen years old, as soon as I had haircuts, that bitch couldn't wait to sell me to the son of the Minister of Rites, because he offered me one hundred thousand taels of silver." Pei Annan said lightly.

"I am not ready to force the queen to marry me yet, so I have to kill the queen and observe mourning for three years."

"Three years have not passed yet, and the herders in the north are ready to take action. There are rumors that the Duke Zhenguo who guards the north is treason. They are afraid of a fight and want me to get married."

"Xie Chenghe, how can I bear it?"

"If they wait just one more year, I can get rid of all the troubles in the court, and then firmly sit on the throne. Why is it so precarious now?"

She smiled lowly, her eyes full of sinisterness: "It's really hard to pick a good time to die."

Xie Chenghe lay on the ground, his whole body limp.

He wanted to get up and hug her, just like she comforted him last time, hug her.

At least I should apologize face to face, tell her that I don't know anything, and I hate myself for not knowing anything, but causing her infinite pain.

But the wine was so strong that he couldn't move at all. He could only face up to the sky, letting tears well up and flow into his ears. The sound was isolated and foggy.

He is very much like he was before, powerless, knowing nothing and unable to do anything.

"I don't understand." Pei Annan quickly glanced at Xie Chenghe's tears, and then looked away, "Why are you crying? It's not like you have endured this. I didn't cry, so why are you crying?"

She didn't know why she was afraid of Xie Chenghe's tears. Every time she saw them, it felt like she was being burned. She didn't know what it felt like, but she didn't like to be controlled by this feeling.

Xie Chenghe's body was numb, his head was drowsy, his eyes were wide open, and he was motionless.

Pei Annan couldn't hear the reply for a while, thinking that Jiu Mengzi had fallen asleep. When he turned his head and looked, he saw blood coming from the corner of Xie Chenghe's mouth.

"What are you doing!" Pei Annan rushed up, squatted next to him, reached out and pinched his cheeks hard, "Relax!"

The pain in his mouth woke Xie Chenghe up a bit. He stretched out his hand tremblingly, pulled Pei Annan's hand away, and then moved his body little by little with the stimulation of pain.

Pei Annan had no idea why the man in front of her was so crazy. She frowned and her hand that was pulled away was hanging in the air, ready to support him at any time.

Blood continued to flow from the corners of Xie Chenghe's lips, but he did not loosen his teeth and bit them tighter and tighter.

He doesn't allow himself to know anything anymore, and he doesn't allow himself to be unable to do anything anymore.

Even if he gritted his teeth and vomited blood, he still had to move and do something.

In Pei Annan's disbelieving expression, Xie Chenghe got up with a hunched body, knelt in front of her, rolled up his sleeves piously, revealing the dazzling "slave".

"My lord..." He opened his mouth, and blood poured out, dripping on the back of his hand and flowing to the ground, which was so red it was dazzling.
