On our wedding night, he personally sent me to the Regent's bed

Chapter 370: The End of Act 1, Extra: Be Gentle on the Naughty Regent

Could it be that everyone who had been kind to me before was insincere?

Fortunately, Pei Yili came to see him occasionally. They had the same suffering and their relationship was quite sincere.

Pei Yili brought him wine and meat, and also sent Pei Mochen a considerate eunuch to take care of him, encouraging his third brother to make a comeback.

Pei Mochen: "It's impossible. I'm already a useless person now."

Pei Yili: "Third brother, since you have already ascended the throne, it shows that you are capable."

"You were just unlucky. The gunpowder was swapped. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would win or lose."

Pei Yili knew clearly that Pei Mochen would never be able to make a comeback, but his third brother loved power, and he hoped to take advantage of Pei Mochen's desire for imperial power and live one more day.

This haggard and skinny face is really heartbreaking.

Pei Yili thought: If my third brother died, I would have no one to talk to.

Pei Mochen pulled the corner of his mouth expressionlessly, "What luck? Even if the explosives were ignited, I would die with them."

"My personal soldiers just don't have the marching speed and combat capability of the Xuanwu Army. I have to admit defeat on this point."

He looked at Pei Yili with empty eyes, "If the gunpowder explodes, the most I can do is leave you the throne, nothing else will make a difference."

Pei Yili: “…”

When did this boomerang hit me?

He sighed and said helplessly: "Third brother, I just want you to live. It is better to live than to die. Eat more meals every day and don't go on a hunger strike casually."

"Only if you survive, there is hope."

Pei Mochen straightened his body and said with a smile, "I know, I can't die now. It's not time for me to die yet."

—

A few months later, the Queen gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

The son looks like Di Xiuyan, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is very handsome.

The daughter's appearance is more like Mu Wanyan, gentle and charming, and she is obviously a beauty at first glance.

Emperor Xiuyan was very pleased. Every palace maid and eunuch was given a salary increase. The whole palace was filled with joy.

This includes Pei Mochen's cold palace.

When the palace servants came to hang a red lantern on his door, he learned the good news and burst into tears of joy.

At this time, he was skinny, trembling, and had white hair. Where was the demeanor of the third prince in the past?

Pei Mochen asked the young eunuch: "Are you serious? Did Yanyan really give birth to a pair of children?"

The young eunuch said, "That's right, a son and a daughter. The emperor is very pleased. Now everyone in the palace is celebrating."

"Look at the fireworks in the sky. They are to celebrate the birth of the little princess and the little prince."

Pei Mochen didn't listen carefully, but asked hurriedly: "How is Yanyan's health now? Did she suffer? Was it painful during childbirth? Having two children must have been a big pain for her, right?"

Young eunuch: "Giving birth is painful. Giving birth is like a journey through the gates of hell."

Pei Mochen shed tears as he listened, "My Yanyan has suffered. It's really hard for my poor Yanyan."

Young eunuch: "Fortunately, the Queen was taken care of by Imperial Doctor Zhang during her pregnancy, and her diet was very carefully prepared. Therefore, the Queen's delivery went smoothly and she did not suffer too much."

Pei Mochen clasped his hands together and said, "Thank God, my Yanyan is safe and sound."

Pei Mochen took out a purse embroidered with the word "Chen" from his chest, rubbed it carefully, and looked at it while wiping his tears.

This was a gift from Yanyan. The embroidery was poor and the word "Chen" was crooked, but Pei Mochen regarded it as a treasure.

Fortunately, he had this purse to keep him going in the dark and imprisoned life, otherwise life would have been even more difficult.

Tonight, Pei Mochen ate half a steamed bun, drank half a bowl of porridge, and asked the eunuch to comb his hair for a long time before changing into clean clothes.

Pei Mochen called the young eunuch to his side and urged him: "Go to Prince Yi's Mansion and tell Yi Li that I'm cold. Ask him to make some clothes for me."

Young eunuch: "Master, don't you have a few new clothes in the closet that you haven't worn yet?"

Pei Mochen: "Don't meddle in the master's business."

The young eunuch said, "Yes, I will help you deliver the letter early tomorrow morning."

Pei Mochen: "Let's go now. I can't wait."

Young eunuch: “…” Okay, why is the master acting so strange tonight?

—

After the young eunuch left, Pei Mochen slowly picked up the candle on the table and lit it in the cold palace where he lived.

He remembered that Imperial Doctor Zhang once said that Mu Wanyan was weak and her pregnancy was very dangerous, so Pei Mochen had always been concerned about this matter.

The victor takes away the glory, and he didn't want to live on the first day after Emperor Xiuyan's victory.

—

But he wanted to wait until Mu Wanyan gave birth to a child safely. Only after he was sure that she was safe could he leave with peace of mind.

The flames first spread to the bed curtains, then to the quilt, bed, table, and then everything in the room was slowly engulfed by the fire.

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky in the cold palace.

However, at this time in the palace, everyone was celebrating the Queen's birth of a child. Who could have noticed that the palace where Pei Mochen lived was on fire?

By the time someone finally noticed something was wrong, the fire had already spread too big and could no longer be put out.

Pei Mochen sat quietly in the chair, slowly recalling his experiences in two lives.

All the scenes with Mu Wanyan appeared before him like a passing show.

Yanyan is really a good girl and is very nice to him.

Especially in her previous life, she was simple, kind, and pitiful to the point of making me feel sorry for her. I was the one who let her down.

"God saw that no one loved me, so he took pity on me and sent me a kind and beautiful girl... But I didn't cherish her and even killed her twice."

"The heavens saw that I longed for the imperial power and longed for it too hard, so they let Fengnu marry me twice. But both times, I sent Yanyan to Di Xiuyan's bed."

Pei Mochen: "All this is my retribution. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely treat my girl well and I will never let her down again."

After saying this, Pei Mochen looked at the fireworks in the sky again, and then closed his eyes forever.

——The first act ends.

--------------------------------

Perhaps it was because his inner obsession was too strong, or perhaps Pei Mochen's love for Mu Wanyan was too deep and his regrets were too great.

The merciful God gave Pei Mochen another chance: allowing him to travel to a parallel world before his death.

He retained the memories of this life and returned to the time before his wedding.

----------

The second act has begun, and the extra fan-loving segment is here:

The first extra story: Pei Mochen is reborn, Di Xiuyan remembers everything that happened in his previous life through dreams, only Mu Wanyan is living in a parallel world in a daze.

Moreover, in this world, she was married to Dafeng just after she came of age, so she is much younger than Di Xiuyan and the others.

When Pei Mochen traveled into the parallel world, Di Xiuyan and Mu Wanyan had already settled their relationship in the east wing and were calling for water for the fourth time.

Pei Mochen felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and he accepted all the facts with trembling hands.

……

Although Mu Wanyan was young, she knew through clues that the person she was sleeping with in the bridal chamber was not Pei Mochen.

When she finally found the person she would spend the wedding night with - Di Xiuyan, his heart almost melted when he saw her.

Di Xiuyan’s inner thoughts: If I had known that she was just an adult in this world, I wouldn’t have been so cruel to her that night.

The young girl Mu Wanyan raised her whip and gently hit his handsome face. She was so scared that she stammered, "Lecher, I finally found you. You...you are the one who ruined my innocence that day."

Di Xiuyan's eyes darkened and he became excited.

I like the fact that he uses honorifics when insulting people.

Mu Wanyan raised her silk embroidered shoes and kicked Di Xiuyan's leg, "Please...restore my innocence."

Di Xiuyan curled his lips and smiled: "Okay, how can I pay you back?"

When Mu Wanyan took great pains to tie up the regent king, a level 10 martial artist, Di Xiuyan could no longer hide the fondness in his eyes.

(The outline of the first story is roughly presented above. Here is a plot where the male protagonist plays the pig and eats the tiger, playing with the female protagonist.)
