In the Hall of Glory of Qi State.

The rosewood dressing table exudes a faint cool fragrance. Rong Xi is wearing a brocade dress with peonies outlined in gold, covered with an extremely soft and thin pink gauze, facing the hollow carvings inlaid with suet jade.

Looking at the bronze mirror, I drew my eyebrows carefully.

Thinking about all the things she enjoys now, she couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, what I did back then was really good! If I hadn't been so desperate and lied that I was Princess Qi Yun, I might not be able to enjoy this today."

Today, Rong Xi is no longer afraid of Qi Yun's return, because just a few days ago, she received news that the real Qi Yun had died in Yixian, and even the mausoleum seemed to have been built by Wen Song, the man next to Qi Sixian.

Thinking about it this way, Rong Xi felt that she should be able to rest easy now. After all, even Qi Sixian, the monarch, knew her true identity, and she didn't worry about anyone being able to expose her at all.

Rong Xi proudly looked in the mirror and admired her current appearance. Looking at the things she wore on her head, she suddenly felt that something was not enough.

How could these ornaments match me? Rong Xi thought to herself, and she suddenly thought that on the day she was enthroned, it seemed that Qi Sixian had also given her a set of white jade headdress inlaid with jade beads, which seemed to better match her dress today.

So Rong Xi immediately ordered someone to take out her headdress, but she had been shouting for a long time, but no one answered her.

These cheap maids, who have only been here for a few days, dare to disobey my orders. I will definitely pull them down and punish them severely later, Rong Xi thought in her heart.

Because no one paid attention to her, Rong Xi had to get up and go out to see what was going on. But as soon as she walked out of the palace door, she was frightened by everything in front of her.

As far as Rong Xi could see, corpses were piled everywhere in front of him. Even the double-eaves roof with glazed tiles and the palace walls and floors were covered in blood. The entire palace seemed like a purgatory on earth.

She was so frightened by what she saw that she collapsed on the ground. Just when she was about to escape into her palace, someone stopped her. Rong Xi turned her head and saw that the person who stopped her was actually Qi Sixian's confidant, Ji Sheng.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you see that Her Highness the Princess fell down? Why don't you help Her Highness up?" Ji Sheng scolded.

After hearing Ji Sheng's reprimand, Rong Xi realized that Ji Sheng was not the only one standing next to her, but there were also several palace officials following Ji Sheng.

When the people behind heard Ji Sheng speak, they understood Ji Sheng's methods. Because they were afraid that Ji Sheng would punish them later, two people immediately wanted to go forward and help Rong Xi up.

Seeing that the two of them were about to meet Rong Xi, Rong Xi suddenly felt that something was wrong. She hurriedly got up from the ground, not even paying attention to her clothes, and she didn't even have the slightest bit of dignity.

Tsk tsk tsk, let him just say, how could a lowly maid named Rong Xi be granted the title of princess? It was just a small scene, but she was so frightened that if the real princess were here, she would never be like this, Ji Sheng

I thought like this in my heart.

But after today, she probably won't have the chance to be a princess. Thinking of this, Ji Sheng's eyes became a little more pitiful.

Rong Xi kept looking at the people in front of her, so she quickly noticed the change in Ji Sheng's eyes.

Ji Sheng was just a slave. If he hadn't been Qi Sixian's confidant, he would have been killed long ago. But how dare he always look at me like this? Rong Xi's heart was full of doubts.

Thinking of this, Rong Xi suddenly remembered that when she eavesdropped before, it seemed that this dog slave was also the one who suggested to Qi Sixian not to give him a ban. Thinking of this, Rong Xi felt even more disgusted with Ji Sheng.

Sooner or later I will deal with this dog slave, Rong Xi secretly swore, but the top priority is to quickly find out what is going on now, so Rong Xi said hypocritically:

"I don't know why Sir Ji is here? And what happened to this Glory Hall in this palace? Please let me know, Sir Ji."

After hearing Rong Xi's question, Ji Sheng did not reply immediately. He only glanced at the scene around him and then returned slowly.

"What about this matter? Don't be in a hurry. Your Majesty.

If you have anything to do next, it would be better for us to go to the palace first and discuss it together later."

After saying these words, Ji Sheng invited Rong Xi to enter the hall with a smile on his face.

Seeing Ji Sheng's behavior, Rong Xi looked around and found that there was no one around him, so she had no choice but to follow Ji Sheng's arrangement and walked into the huge Hall of Glory with Ji Sheng and others.

After a while, everyone walked into the Rongguang Hall. As soon as Ji Sheng came in, he sat on the main seat in the hall without caring about Rong Xi's feelings.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Rong Xi really wanted to laugh. He was just a slave and worthy of sitting in her position.

"Master Ji, don't you take me seriously?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Rong Xi's mouth.

"Looking at it, Your Highness, don't you know the situation outside? Why don't you let me explain it to Your Highness?"

Although Ji Sheng's tone was inquiring and he still addressed Rong Xi as Her Royal Highness, his attitude was extremely unfriendly to Rong Xi. Seeing Ji Sheng like this, Rong Xi guessed that something must be happening outside that she didn't know about.

.

But what can happen outside? Although Qi Xuan has not been found yet, hasn't Qi Sixian succeeded to the throne? Even she has received the decree of canonization, so what can happen outside? Rong Xi is puzzled.

Before Rong Xi could think of it, the person next to Ji Sheng told Rong Xi the reason why Ji Sheng dared to treat her like this. In addition, Rong Xi also learned about the current situation of Qi State through that person's mouth.

State of government.

It turns out that just a few days ago, in the battle between Qi and Chu, Qi was defeated. Wen Song, who had been ordered to lead the army, had already died for the country.

Now the Chu army has arrived at the city, and the Chu army has surrounded the entire Linyu area. Chu Xingchen, the king of Chu, is famous for his cruelty and ruthlessness in other countries. If he falls into his hands, he will probably die miserably.

.

Therefore, when Qi Sixian knew that he could not escape, he simply asked the entire Linyu people to die for him.

Now in Linyu City, the government has locked the doors of every household in the city, and piled firewood and other flammable materials outside the door, waiting for Qi Sixian's order to have the entire Linyu City buried with him.

"Your Highness Princess, you are the king's niece! Since you hold the position, you must bear the burden. Now as for the people in the Glory Hall, my servant has taken care of them for you, and now you are the only one left."

"You, you mean it's all your fault that the situation outside is like this?"

Rong Xi asked with a trembling voice. Her hands unconsciously grasped the sleeves beside her, and her trembling hands showed the fear and fear in her heart.

Seeing Rong Xi's behavior, Ji Sheng didn't wait for the people around him to answer for Rong Xi, and answered on his own: "Yes, but Princess Minghui is the princess of Qi after all. I will give you a

The opportunity to choose how to die.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Sheng clapped his hands, and soon someone brought a tray.

I saw a dagger, white silk and a small medicine bottle placed on it.

Seeing Rong Xi's eyes falling on the medicine bottle, Ji Sheng couldn't help but reach out and pick up the medicine bottle. He looked at the small medicine bottle carefully, then held it in his hand and explained thoughtfully:

"Your Highness, do you want to take this? This is the latest poison developed by the Imperial Hospital. It is said that this medicine is colorless and odorless, and it will take effect within a quarter of an hour after drinking it.

But it seems that after drinking this medicine, it seems to be very painful! A person who tried the medicine before seemed to be in pain to death before the poison took effect! Are you sure you want to choose this, Your Highness?"

After saying these words, Ji Sheng made a move to hand the medicine into Rong Xi's hand. Rong Xi was so frightened that he immediately took several steps back.

"Your Highness stepped back, don't you want to choose? If His Highness can't make a decision, then I will choose for His Highness myself." After finishing speaking, Ji Sheng specifically raised his head to look at Rong Xi, his eyes seemed full of eagerness to try.

Seeing Ji Sheng like this, Rong Xi admitted that she was scared, but since she dared to lie to everyone that she was a princess, and now that she was really going to die, she would never just sit back and wait for death.

Ji Sheng looked at Rong Xi like this, as if he had changed into a different person in an instant, abandoning his fear.

, and then told him confidently.

"No need to trouble Sir Ji, I can make my own choice."

Hearing Rong Xi's words, Ji Sheng put the medicine bottle back into the tray, and then motioned to others not to disturb Rong Xi. He wanted to watch Rong Xi in person and let Rong Xi make his own choice.

Rong Xi looked at the things placed in front of her. To be honest, she didn't want to choose any of them. But looking at the people in front of her, she really couldn't think of how to get herself out of this predicament.

After a long time, Rong Xi finally chose the dagger...

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

When Jiang Wan inquired about the situation of the Han family, she planned to go directly to find Marquis Cheng'an, and exchange the favor of saving her life for Han Jiao to help her find Qi Xuan's whereabouts in Zhao Kingdom.

"Miss, don't you think what you are doing is like repaying a favor? Are you sure that Han Jiao will agree to you directly?" 012 asked doubtfully.

"Not sure!" Jiang Wan replied casually.

"Not sure?" After listening to the young lady's answer, 012 felt that his blood pressure was about to rise because of the young lady's anger..c

"I'm not sure you dare to go find someone directly."

Seeing 012 looking like he was about to go crazy, Jiang Wan comforted her softly: "Shouldn't I give it a try? If she doesn't agree, I'll forget it and go find it myself."

"An', don't worry so much. Besides, their family has indeed not repaid the debt they owe me. If I came to ask for it this time, I would not directly provide them with an opportunity to perform.
