Chapter 43: The People Are More Important Than the King



"The letter alone is not enough, other evidence must also be arranged." The queen warned.

"Don't worry, Queen, everything is ready."

Qi Gengyi was full of confidence. As it was a matter of life and death, she used all her life's wisdom to set a trap.
