Yuexin couldn't bear to see Fang Jinse make such a sacrifice, but she had no other choice. After all, it was related to the life and death of Fang Jinse's adoptive parents. She couldn't stop it. But when she thought of Zheng Qi's character, Yuexin couldn't help but sweat for Fang Jinse.
In the end, they still managed to invite Zheng Qi to the palace. Before it was night time, Zheng Qi had already arrived while the sky was still bright. Yuexin was a little unhappy to see him come so early. She reprimanded him, "Lord Fang is too bold. It's not dark yet. It's still far from the appointed time!"
Zheng Qi glanced at her, wretchedly reached out his hand and quickly pinched Yuexin's face. Then he said discontentedly, "You don't even have a bit of flesh. You're really a maid. You're far from your master. Your Noble Lady Fang is really a stunner! That face, that chest, that ass, tsk tsk, I just look at it and I'm drooling! "
Yuexin scolded him angrily, "Rogue!"
"Bah!" Zheng Qi was also angry, "Now you're calling me a rogue? Then who asked me to come here today? Little bitch, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Now there are so many people in the palace who want to curry favor with me. It's your master's blessing that I'm willing to go to the Ceremony Palace. Don't be so shameless. If you say something I don't like to hear, I'll leave in anger. Don't cry then! "
"You …" Yuexin was so angry that she was speechless. Zheng Qi was right. They were the ones who invited him. If he was a rogue, they were the ones who were rogue. He didn't take the initiative at all. All the people in the palace were locked up and couldn't get out. Dashun was about to attack. Even if they heard that Dashun wouldn't hurt the innocent, they were people in the palace. Who knew if the Ninth Prince of Dashun would count them as innocent? Once he didn't count, they couldn't escape death. If they wanted to get out of the palace to save their lives, they could only rely on bribing Zheng Qi to achieve their goal. She had heard that yesterday, two harem beauties had already given themselves to Zheng Qi in exchange for a chance to leave the palace alive. As for the two harem beauties, they were selected in the same batch as Fang Jinse. Before the Emperor could take care of them, their clean bodies had already been taken advantage of by Zheng Qi. She was unwilling to give up, but she still retorted, "But you're here too early. Aren't you afraid that people will gossip?"
Zheng Qi burst into laughter. "Gossip? Can gossip make me lose a piece of meat or a tooth? Humph! Even the Emperor is my sister's prisoner. Who do I need to be afraid of in the palace? To tell you the truth, Dashun is about to attack. When that happens, it's hard to say if you'll be able to survive! I just want to take advantage of the current situation to enjoy myself, and you can also obtain practical benefits. It's the best of both worlds, so why not be happy? Am I right? "
Yuexin was speechless and didn't say anything else. She lowered her head and led him to Fang Jinse's room, then silently guarded outside.
For the entire night, Zheng Qi was like a beast, torturing Fang Jinse in all sorts of ways. She listened outside the room, her tears flowing non-stop, her fingernails digging into her flesh. All the servants in the palace had heard the commotion in the room and were well aware of what had happened. But who could say anything? Who dared to say anything? This imperial palace was no longer the Li family's world. In the current Zong Sui, the Chunyu family was the greatest power. Of course, this power would not rise for many days. At most three days, Dashun would completely replace it.
The next morning, Zheng Qi came out from Fang Jinse's room, looking like he had not had enough. Glancing at Yuexin, he did not feel disappointed because of her tears. Instead, he chuckled and said, "The taste of your family's Noble Lady Fang is really not bad, even better than those harem beauties. But your request is really strange. You don't want to escape from the palace, instead, you only want me to help deliver a letter outside the palace. That's good, staying in the palace, I can still eat for two more days. I will arrange for someone to deliver the letter to you. Quickly go in and help her wash up. I will come again tonight. "
Zheng Qi left. When Yuexin entered the room, what she saw was a bed full of blood and Fang Jinse who was almost dead.
That Zheng Qi was a pervert. Not only did he toy with women, he even liked to use scissors to cut women's skin until blood flowed and women screamed. He liked that kind of thrilling feeling. Fang Jinse was tormented by him until she did not look human anymore. Her entire body was covered in bruises and only her face could barely be seen. Yuexin cried as she helped her up. The first thing Fang Jinse asked was: "Did he take the letter away?"
Yuexin nodded, "He took it away and said he would send it out of the palace. But … … "She wiped her tears and said angrily:" That Zheng Qi said he will come again tonight. "
Fang Jinse smiled bitterly, "Come! There are only two days left. I will not be tortured to death by him. As long as I still have a breath left, this grudge will be avenged sooner or later. Quickly help me dress and wash up. I still need to send food to that old thief Duanmu. We cannot let him see through anything. Otherwise, my crimes would have been for nothing. "
On this side, Fang Jinse thought of all ways to successfully send her letter out of the imperial palace, then her people outside would arrange for it to be sent out of the city. On the other side, Zong Sui's Empress Chunyu Qing was also racking her brains to think of a way to obtain information from Dashun. She only had one goal, and that was to confirm whether the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua was alive or dead.
Combining all the information she obtained, Xuan Tianhua was definitely dead. It was impossible for him to survive that kind of lightning strike. The reason why Dashun's army was so energetic and attacked so quickly was because the entire army had one belief, and that was to take revenge for the Seventh Prince.
But Chunyu Qing was not willing to believe that Xuan Tianhua was already dead. She could not accept this reality. She was thinking, since there was no possibility of survival in the minefield, then why was Feng Yu Heng still alive? The two of them were clearly blown up together. It did not make sense that one was dead and the other was still alive. Based on what her spies said, not only was Dashun's Royal Consort Yu still alive, she also looked completely fine. There were no scars on the skin that was exposed, and it did not look like she had been blown up in the minefield.
Feng Yu Heng's situation gave Chunyu Qing endless hope. Since Feng Yu Heng was still alive, then it did not make sense that Xuan Tianhua was definitely dead. She faintly felt that Dashun was definitely hiding something. Xuan Tianhua was not dead. As long as she put more effort into investigating, she would definitely be able to find traces that showed that Xuan Tianhua was still alive.
But, Chunyu Qing sat in the main hall and thought about these things. She could not help but feel that she was very funny. Even if Xuan Tianhua was still alive, so what? She was the Empress of Zong Sui, how could she have any interactions with Dashun's Seventh Prince? Zong Sui was going to be gone soon. Dashun could let the citizens go, but they would definitely not let the members of the imperial family go. The Chunyu family wanted to use Li Jian to exchange for hope of survival, but she did not know if Dashun would be willing to accept this favour. After all, even if the Chunyu family did not take the initiative to hand Li Jian over, Li Jian would not be able to live!
Dashun's deity-like Seventh Prince had already died in Tong City. For some reason, this news spread very quickly in Zong Sui's capital.
If it was said that Xuan Tianhua's reputation in Zong Sui was great, it would definitely be in the capital. Every bookstore in Zong Sui's capital sold his portrait, and many tea houses even hung his portrait on the wall in their private rooms to show their refined aura. The feelings of the women in the capital towards Xuan Tianhua were very hard to understand. They had clearly not met him before, but through his portrait, through people's words of his deity-like aura, his deeds, they developed an inexplicable good impression of him.
This kind of feeling was later described by Feng Yu Heng as "star-chasing", making her think of how the girls in the future pursued celebrities. It was exactly the same as the current crush on Xuan Tianhua.
Xuan Tianhua's death caused a huge commotion in Zong Sui's capital. People did not dare to believe this fact at all. Even though they had heard about it before, saying that the reason why Dashun attacked so quickly was because Dashun's soldiers were holding back their anger, wanting to take revenge for the Seventh Prince. But these words were only spread among the men who went out frequently, the women who rarely went out did not know about it. But as Dashun's attack on the city got closer, these words were somehow heard by those women.
Young girls, young women, even middle-aged women and old grannies were all shocked by this news. They were the same as Empress Chunyu Qing, not believing that Xuan Tianhua was already dead. They kept consoling themselves, finding all kinds of reasons to convince themselves that it was impossible for the Seventh Prince to die. But this kind of persuasion became less and less effective. Finally, the matter of Dashun's Seventh Prince being killed in the explosion in Tong City was confirmed, these women broke down.
Feng Yu Heng who was far away outside the city heard her scout say this in his report: "Zong Sui's capital has formed a female revenge brigade, gathering around twenty to thirty thousand women. There are people of all ages, the youngest subordinate saw a five to six year old child, the oldest saw an old granny in her fifties or sixties. They shouted that they wanted to take revenge for His Highness the Seventh Prince, and just before this subordinate left the city, they had already rushed to the main entrance of Zong Sui's imperial palace, pushing down the southern wall of the imperial palace. "
Feng Yu Heng was speechless when she heard this. She tugged on Xuan Tianming's sleeve, concluding: "Did you hear that, you can provoke anyone, but you cannot provoke women!"
Xuan Tianming nodded, "Wife is right." He then asked that scout, "And then?"
The scout continued: "Then many Imperial Guard rushed out from the imperial palace, trying to suppress them. But they did not expect the female revenge brigade to be so strong. Thousands of Imperial Guard rushed forward one after another, completely drowning in the twenty to thirty thousand people. Regardless of whether the Imperial Guard had martial arts or not, whether they had weapons in their hands, they could not display any of their abilities in front of the female revenge brigade. The women surrounded them, using their own bodies to squeeze in, the elderly and children to one side, the remaining women squeezed together, squeezing those thousands of Imperial Guard to death. "
Feng Yu Heng wiped away some sweat, "Continue."
"After that, Zong Sui's General Chunyu An appeared, only then was the emotions of the female revenge brigade stabilized. As for the reason that Chunyu An was able to stabilize them, it was not because Chunyu An was a person of virtue and prestige. Instead, it was because he said that he would definitely cooperate with our Da Shun in attacking the city. He would also personally hand Emperor Li Jian over to His Highness the ninth prince to have His Highness the ninth prince tear Li Jian to pieces to avenge His Highness the seventh prince. "
