Inside the grand palace of the Yan Kingdom, a series of human tragedies are unfolding!

After the copper rods were heated red-hot, they were used to inflict the tortures invented by Jiang Ming on several of the Empress Yan's close associates and ministers!

Heart-wrenching screams filled the air, along with the acrid smell of burning protein...

Ji Bochang had imagined what a miserable scene it would be.

But when he actually witnessed it with his own eyes, the guy's anus tightened, and he was so scared that he peed himself.

His elder brother's temper was unpredictable, and Ji Bochang's bones and joints trembled violently. He couldn't predict... whether such misfortune would soon befall him...

Ji Xi, on the other hand, watched the execution with a calm mind. Far from finding it cruel, she felt a sense of peace and was no longer so afraid of death...

People have a subconscious thought: Why am I the one who's unlucky?

Ji Xi is now incredibly unlucky. His wife cheated on him, his son died, he's about to pass away, and he even has to hand over the throne to his mentally challenged younger brother born to his stepmother...

None of these things would be acceptable to a normal man!

No way! He absolutely can't let himself be the only one to suffer; he wants to drag a whole bunch of others down with him...

The current fate of Shi Qiu and other associates of the Queen of Yan can be said to have deeply comforted Ji Xi's wounded heart.

Old man Shi Qiu was scalded to death...

The characteristic of this punishment is that it is not only extremely harmful but also extremely humiliating. The victim is stripped down to their pants and subjected to torture, displaying a grotesque and unsightly manner during the torture. The aftermath of the torture is even more unbearable to witness.

This caused immense psychological and mental anguish to the ministers awaiting execution!

The entire palace of the Yan Kingdom resembled a scene from hell...

Those ministers who were not named by the Prince of Yan were so frightened that their legs were trembling and many of them wet their pants!

"Brother Wang... let's take them out and execute them, it's disgusting..." Ji Shishi said, unable to hold back her nausea.

"well!"

Ji Xi sighed deeply: "What a pity, what a pity! These villains only have one life. I really haven't killed enough! Li Quan!"

"This servant is here..." Eunuch Li quickly bowed and turned to Ji Xi.

"Issue the order: call out names one by one from the list just now, and execute the entire family!"

"promise!"

......

In the hall, some ministers were part of the Empress Dowager's faction, but Ji Xi hadn't had a chance to call their names yet, so they were hoping to escape a calamity.

However, Eunuch Li has kept a record of everything, and not one of them can escape!

"Alright! I'm tired too. Is the meat soup ready? I'm so hungry..."

Ji Xi suddenly remembered the meat soup, but having just witnessed such cruel punishment, Ji Shishi gagged at the mere mention of the word "meat"...

After returning to the rear hall from the front hall, Ji Xi couldn't wait to serve the meal. She drank the meat soup, gnawed on the pig's trotters, and drank the fine wine, completely oblivious to everyone else.

He knew in his heart that this was a "last gasp of life" before his death, and if he didn't eat now... he wouldn't be able to eat again in an hour or two!

Ji Shishi watched her elder brother wolf down his food with a complicated expression. She wanted to remind him that there were still many things to take care of, but she couldn't bear to interrupt him...

"My sister!"

Ji Xi was gnawing on a pig's trotter, her eyes darting around, when she suddenly remembered something and took off the tiger tally from her waist.

"Good sister, take this!"

Ji Xi said with a sorrowful expression, "As the saying goes, one should always be wary of others! With the Tiger Tally in your hand, you have military power! Remember, this Tiger Tally... you cannot give it to anyone, especially not to that Jiang fellow. You must hold onto it tightly, understand?"

"Yes! Brother! I'll remember!" Ji Shishi sadly shed tears again.

After all, he's her own brother; he should always think about his sister's rights...

"in addition......"

Ji Xi then instructed, "That Ji Bochang is a good-for-nothing. After he has a son, you take him in and raise him. Make sure the child is close to you. Once the child is a little older, depose Ji Bochang and let the child you raised inherit the throne. Do you understand?"

"Yes! Brother Wang, I know!" Ji Shishi wiped away her tears and nodded.

"cough!"

Ji Xi put down the pig's trotter, sighed deeply, and said, "Brother, I'm so sorry! I didn't take good care of you, and now I have to leave you first. I'm sorry to Mother, I'm sorry to the late King, sob sob sob!"

"elder brother!"

Ji Shishi could no longer control her emotions and knelt down on Ji Xi's lap, bursting into tears!

"Good sister!"

Ji Xi said, "That Jiang guy, we need to use him, use his beauty to control him, and keep him tied down. We have no other way now... As the eldest princess, you must have some imperial wisdom. You can't be foolish enough to give your heart to a man, you know?"

"Brother, I understand!"

Ji Shishi sobbed, "In my heart, the fate of the Great Yan will always be my top priority!"

"That's good! We won't let outsiders steal our fruits or seize our territory!"

"Yes! Sister understands!"

......

Ji Xi was giving Ji Shishi her final instructions.

Jiang Ming, meanwhile, took over from Ji Xi to clean up the remaining 'battlefield'...

Ji Xi has appointed him as the chief administrator of the imperial prison!
