This wasn't the end yet. Ji Chenan, the living devil, spoke again: "I heard that your mother has a hobby of whipping people."
Jiang Ziyi didn't expect that Ji Chenan still remembered this. When he saw the whip marks on her body, his eyes were full of heartache.
Mingyue was being held by the jailer and was vomiting loudly. She suddenly heard Ji Chenan's words and didn't understand what he meant.
Then he heard Ji Chenan say, "Then your mother must also like the human skin lantern with whip marks."
After hearing these words, Mingyue was so frightened that she even stopped vomiting.
My whole body was instantly soaked in cold sweat.
She is not afraid of death now, but what she is afraid of is a quick and clean death.
The human skin lantern requires skinning alive...
Mingyue struggled frantically, but her struggle was of no avail.
Xiao Jingyun, who was huddled in the corner, didn't dare to say a word at this moment.
I was afraid that I would be fed shit and made into a human skin lantern.
There is comfort in comparison. At this moment, he felt that being beheaded was not so unacceptable. At least it would be a quick death...
He closed his eyes in despair.
Mingyue's ghostly howling was really noisy, and the smell in the dungeon was really unpleasant. The way the two people died was decided, so there was no need to stay any longer.
Ji Chenan put his arm around Jiang Ziyi's shoulders and took her out.
Before leaving, Jiang Ziyi took one last look at the two people in the dungeon. There was no extra emotion in her eyes, only a sense of relief at having her revenge.
When she walked out of the dungeon and saw the sunlight, she felt a little dazed.
Seeing her expression, Ji Chenan thought she was still taking Mingyue's words to heart, so he comforted her gently, "Don't take those dirty words to heart. In Yao Country, you are the most precious person to me."
"His Majesty......"
Hearing Jiang Ziyi calling him like that, Ji Chenan's face sternly said, "There's no one here now, why are you still calling me Your Majesty?"
Jiang Ziyi was a little confused, "What should I shout?"
Ji Chenan pretended to sigh and said, "Didn't I just shout that in front of Xiao Jingyun?"
Jiang Ziyi recalled carefully and realized that Ji Chenan was talking about her husband.
She also discovered that Ji Chenan had not called himself "I" in front of her for a long time.
Then she lowered her head shyly and murmured sheepishly: "Husband..."
Hearing her voice as thin as a mosquito, Ji Chenan knew that she was embarrassed, so he didn't force her anymore.
After all, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future for her to call him husband.
Afterwards, Ji Chenan did not take her back to the palace, but took her to the imperial study and showed her a letter.
When Jiang Ziyi saw it, she was a little surprised, because the letter was signed by Jiang Jin, the prince of Shen State.
Jiang Ziyi had an impression of this person, but it only existed in her original childhood memory.
At that time, Jiang Jin secretly sent her food, but it was later discovered by Queen Shen and he was punished for it.
When she finished reading the contents of the letter, she was even more shocked.
"How did you get the Crown Prince of Shen to become your spy?"
"Look back again."
Only then did Jiang Ziyi realize there was another page of letter at the back.
When she finished reading, she understood the prince's motives.
It turned out that the prince was born to the previous queen, who died of a sudden illness when he was young.
When he grew up and re-investigated the matter, he found that there was something strange about his mother's death.
Moreover, it is also related to Queen Shen.
Later, he discovered that his father knew about it, but in order to gain the support of Queen Shen's family, he chose to condone it.
So now, he chose to use intelligence to negotiate with Yaoguo. He hoped that Yaoguo would support him in forcing Emperor Shen to abdicate, and lend him troops to kill Queen Shen and the Yuan family behind Queen Shen.
When Ji Chenan knew about this, he gladly accepted it.
He also promised to lend him troops as long as he provided information.
Therefore, later on, Jiang Jin informed Emperor Shen of his plan and which neighboring countries he had contacted.
Ji Chenan was busy those days because he made corresponding arrangements based on the plan he received.
Especially to those small countries, he sent envoys to negotiate and signed non-war agreements.
Originally, those small countries were afraid that Yaoguo would attack them, so they wanted to join forces with Shenguo.
Since Yao State has agreed to sign a non-war agreement with them, it would not be cost-effective to waste manpower and money to follow Shen State to fight a war.
So they all withdrew from Shen State's plan.
Emperor Shen still didn't know what was going on. How come the small countries he had gathered with great difficulty were out of his control?
The Prime Minister's Mansion received a bizarre gift.
Prime Minister Xiao received a wooden box. When the servant at the door opened it, a dead head with eyes open suddenly appeared in his eyes. He was so scared that he threw it away.
When he came to his senses, he found that the head belonged to the young master!
He hurried into the mansion to report the incident to the Prime Minister. When Prime Minister Xiao learned that his only son had been beheaded and sent back to the mansion, his eyes suddenly turned black and he fainted. His old Xiao family was going to be extinct...
At the same time, at the gate of the Shen Kingdom Palace, something covered with black cloth suddenly fell from the sky.
The guards at the palace gate opened the book and stood there in shock. It took them a long time to come back to their senses. One of the guards then hurriedly ran to Queen Shen's palace...
Queen Shen was feeling very depressed in the palace. She passed the news to the Yuan family, but the Yuan family said that His Majesty had weakened their military power over the years and they were powerless now, so Mingyue could only wish for herself.
