Chapter 109 Life or Death

The gatekeeper knelt down in fear: "Princess, please forgive me..."

Qi Yue lifted the curtain and glanced at the guard, who seemed unfamiliar.

After the carriage drove into the palace gate, the two gate guards looked at each other, and one of them turned and left.

The carriage drove all the way to Qi Junqi's bedroom, the Ganzheng Hall.

Xun An, who was guarding the door, almost burst into tears when he saw Qi Yue. He knelt down in front of her excitedly: "Princess, I have finally waited for you to come back!"

He Xiang hurried forward and helped the person up.

Qi Yue frowned and asked, "Xun An, why aren't you serving in the inner hall?"

Xun An had a bitter face: "Replying to the eldest princess, the little princess won't let me serve Your Majesty closely..."

Qi Yue was surprised: "What little princess?"

Could it be the original heroine?

Xun An was a little embarrassed to say: "It's... it's the fiancée of the cavalry general..."

Seeing that Qi Yue still had some doubts on her face, he reminded her: "Princess, it was Jiang Sheng whom you divorced, the orphan he brought back from the border. She was actually the little princess of the late emperor, your half-sister with the same father but different mothers."

Qi Yue sneered: "She is just a bastard who was conceived through despicable means. At best, she is a concubine's daughter. How dare you claim to be the biological sister of me and my brother?"

"She deserves it?"

Xun An was so excited when he heard this: "Princess, you are right! You are absolutely right!"

Qi Yue: "Open the door, I want to meet this evil creature, how dare he climb over me and my brother and act so arrogantly!"

"If you are not allowed to serve the emperor closely, maybe she was the one who poisoned the emperor!"

Lian Mengyi, who was guarding the inner hall, had already heard the noise at the door of the hall. She pinched her palms and forced herself to remain calm.

The palace door was opened, and Qi Yue led his men into the palace with their backs to the light.

Walking past the screen and into the inner hall, Lian Mengyi was sitting in front of the dragon couch wearing a bright yellow palace dress.

Seeing Qi Yue, she did not stand up to salute, but just said lightly: "Greetings, sister. Please forgive me for being so weak from taking care of my brother recently. I cannot stand up and cannot salute you. I hope you will not be offended."

Qi Yue walked slowly up to her with a faint smile on his face, very warm.

"My hearing is not very good. What did you call me just now?"

Lian Mengyi's face froze: "What do you mean, sister?"

Qi Yue's smile widened, and even her eyes curved, giving people the illusion that she was in a particularly happy mood at the moment.

Then, as she looked in astonishment, he raised his hand and slapped her hard.

Lian Mengyi's face was knocked crooked and blood was coming out of the corner of his mouth. The obvious palm print on his face was swelling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She couldn't believe it. She didn't expect Qi Yue to attack her on the spot: "Even if the emperor doesn't recognize me, it won't work. My identity was recognized by the emperor himself..."

Qi Yue slapped her on the other side of the face again, took the handkerchief handed to her by He Xiang, and wiped it slowly.

"My brother and I are twins from the same mother, and I am the legitimate heir to the throne. How dare you, a bastard who is not even a concubine's daughter, come and claim to be related to me?"

"My royal brother is kind and will not argue with you. Giving you a princess status is also a way to repay our ancestors for not wanting the royal bloodline to be lost outside."

"Do you think that you can turn yourself into a real phoenix by inserting peacock feathers on a pheasant? And you dare to bully others in the palace while my brother is unconscious?"

"Is this golden and jade phoenix hairpin something that a bastard princess like you can wear?"

As he spoke, Qi Yue grabbed the golden hairpin on her head and pulled it off with great force, pulling out several strands of her hair.

Lian Mengyi screamed in pain and fell off the stool.

"you!"

Seeing her glaring at Qi Yue fiercely, He Xiang quickly stepped forward and pinned her down.

Qi Yue turned around to check on Qi Junqi's condition and saw that he was still unconscious with a dark aura on his face.

"What's going on? Where's the Imperial Master? Where's the antidote?"

Xun An quickly stepped forward and knelt down: "Princess, His Majesty had already taken the antidote sent back by the Moon Shadow Guard, but the next afternoon, after seeing the little princess, he fainted again for unknown reasons. At that time, the little princess suspected that there was something wrong with the antidote, so she destroyed the other antidote without asking the reason."

"They also locked up the Imperial Master who had just returned from outside the palace in the Heavenly Prison..."

"What! Yibai was locked up in the prison by her!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue became furious. He walked up to her, grabbed her hair fiercely, and pressed her head to the ground with a bang.

"I can't bear to see someone wronged, how dare you put him in prison?"

“Ah——” Lian Mengyi screamed, struggled, and roared: “You treat me like this, when my brother wakes up, he will definitely punish you!”

"Everyone knows that the Imperial Master is your man. Maybe you were the one who ordered the Imperial Master to murder my brother! As the eldest princess of a country, you seduce men everywhere. Not only in the palace, but even among the people, you know that you are dissolute and lewd! "

As a woman, Qi Yue didn't want to be too harsh, but she challenged her bottom line again and again, which she couldn't tolerate.

"Take off her palace dress for me. How dare a bastard born out of wedlock wear the clothes of a legitimate princess? Teach her the difference between respect and inferiority, and the rules!"

Hearing this, Lian Mengyi was so scared that she grabbed her clothes tightly and screamed, "No, I am a princess! If you slaves dare to take off my clothes, I will kill you!"

Qi Yue: "Put it on me!"

He Xiang pressed her body tightly and twisted her hands behind her back.

Leng Yue reached out expressionlessly and grabbed her collar, pulling it hard and tearing the clothes apart.

Xun An covered his eyes and quickly prepared to leave with the young eunuchs.

There was a sudden loud noise from the palace door, and it was kicked open from the outside. Jiang Sheng walked in with a group of guards, looking angry.

Seeing Lian Mengyi being pressed to the ground and having his coat stripped off, he was furious.

Lian Mengyi: "Brother Jiang, save me——"

Jiang Sheng drew out his sword and pointed it at Qi Yue: "Qi Yue, as the eldest princess of a country, you are so vicious that you humiliated your own sister in public and stripped her clothes. How do you want her to live in the future?"

Qi Yue took a step back and asked coldly, "Where is the Moon Shadow Guard?"

Dozens of dark shadows whizzed down in the hall.

She waved her hand and said, "General Jiang Sheng led his troops into the palace with swords in hand, pointed swords at the Princess and Your Majesty, intending to rebel. Now there is evidence, and he should be executed."

"Moon Shadow Guards, listen up! Capture this traitor, regardless of life or death!"

"I have received your order."

He didn't expect Qi Yue to directly command the Moon Shadow Guards. He regretted it very much and shouldn't have been so impulsive.

Jiang Sheng: "This general did not commit treason! Princess, you are accusing me of crimes like this. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will question you when he wakes up? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world?"

The Moon Shadow Guard did not show mercy because of his words.

Xun An and the young eunuchs rushed to Qi Junqi's dragon bed and stared vigilantly at the two groups of people fighting.
