With the killing and the seal mutually reinforcing each other, no one dares to bully them.
Zheng Quchi: "..." Another code has appeared.
Every code word made her regret not having read enough books.
She had been trying to understand those four words for a long time.
"Killing and Seal mutually generating" seems to be a fortune-telling term. In her hometown, there were often old blind men setting up stalls, muttering mysteriously about things that others couldn't understand. When she was a child, she was extremely curious, like she had a million questions. She wanted to ask about anything she didn't understand and figure it out.
Unfortunately, the old blind man was short-lived. She would usually squat beside him and listen to his conversations with fortune tellers. Occasionally, he would explain some fortune-telling terms, which she listened to but did not understand. After he passed away, she had no chance to understand them anymore.
But she did have some recollection of this "killing and seal" interaction. "Killing" might represent the Seven Killings, which in turn represents petty people, while "seal" represents transformation... The general idea is that if she encounters a petty person causing trouble, she shouldn't be afraid; she should bravely step forward, and the other party will naturally be intimidated.
This explanation was also something she had only guessed and assumed without taking it seriously, but the last sentence of the message was quite easy to understand.
No one dares to bully her, which means no one can humiliate her.
Although Zheng Quchi had guessed the beginning, she did not expect that Wei Yao and his men would actually be fully armed and directly kill—no, rush into the banquet to support her.
This sense of security is amazing!
Seeing that she was stunned, Yuan Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and whispered in her ear, "Madam was quite majestic tonight."
Zheng Quchi felt a tingling sensation in his ear and instantly came to his senses.
Damn it, she felt that Yuan Xingzhou's personality was becoming more and more bizarre and monstrous, completely unlike her initial impression of him in the dungeon, who was hopeless, gloomy, full of negative energy, and whose closed eyes were Yama, and open eyes were hell.
She rubbed her ears and moved away from him: "You know?"
Judging from his calm and composed expression, and then looking at the people around him who were jumping up and down as if they had stirred up a hornet's nest, he didn't seem to be completely unaware of the situation.
"What do I know? I have been away from the palace for a long time and have no power or influence. From now on, I will have to rely on you for protection..." Seeing her expression of almost being unable to bear it, he changed his tone and asked as if he were curious, "Madam Yuwen, do you not understand what kind of existence your husband Yuwen Sheng is in Ye Kingdom?"
Zheng Quchi was taken aback, then stared intently at him as he continued, "You really don't know? Well, you'd better remember this now—even if he's dead, his protection is enough to let you walk around freely in the Ye King's palace."
Zheng Quchi's eyes widened; her feelings were indescribably complex.
I never expected that.
I never expected this.
Since she is so capable as Yuwen Sheng's wife, why was she so nervous and apprehensive when she first entered the palace?
Because of ignorance.
Because she knew nothing about Yuwen Sheng's powerful background.
When Bo Ji saw Wang Zebang, Wei Yao, and the others who had led a large force, her expression changed instantly. She was shocked and angry, but also very suspicious.
"What are you doing?! Who gave you permission to bring troops into the palace? Wang Zebang, Wei Yao, you are utterly lawless!"
Ignoring Bo Ji's incompetent rage, Wei Zhuang walked straight to Zheng Quchi, clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, and asked, "Madam, are you well?"
"I'm fine, I'm alright," Zheng Quchi replied instinctively, drawing back a few wisps of his soul.
She was indeed not missing a single hair.
This infuriated Mu Jin, Queen Bo Ji, and others so much that they were practically ready to personally attack her with knives.
Seeing that Wei Yao was comforting the lady and that she was indeed safe and sound without any loss, Wang Zebang first gave the Queen a slight bow, and before she could remove herself from the bow, he said, "His Majesty has long since exempted the general and us from the act of disarming, and has even issued an edict allowing the general to lead troops into the palace in times of crisis. Everyone knows this, so how could the Queen be the only one unaware of it?"
Bo Ji gritted her teeth at Wang Zebang's retort. She forced a haughty smile and said, "His Majesty is merciful and lenient towards General Yuwen in military matters, but you have gone too far. You yourself said it was a time of crisis, but where is the crisis now..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wang Zebang questioned her forcefully and coldly: "Then what was the Queen trying to do just now?"
Bo Ji paused.
"The General's wife is in trouble, and our army has been dispatched to her rescue. Is this considered a critical moment?" Wang Zebang asked again.
Bo Ji stared at Zheng Quchi in astonishment and confusion. Zheng Quchi's round face was still blankly staring into space, lost in thought. In Bo Ji's eyes, Zheng Quchi was simply an unteachable and foolish woman.
"Are you all determined... to protect her to the very end?"
Her words could be interpreted as: Yuwen Sheng is dead, so what is his wife? Instead of thinking about their future, they are determined to oppose the Queen for the sake of such a useless woman?
Wang Zebang slowly raised his eyes. He had a pair of proud and indifferent eyes. These eyes used to only recognize one master, Yuwen Sheng, but now they had another female master.
"It wasn't me, it was Wang, Wei, Fu..."
"Wait a minute, me too, me too!" The flamboyant girl next to her, who had been fanning herself with a fan, couldn't resist joining in.
Wang Zebang glanced at him and continued in a certain tone: "The four families of Wang, Wei, Cun, and Liu, as well as the Four Symbols Army of the Yuwen Clan, all follow the General's wife's lead. This will is as firm as a rock and cannot be changed."
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent instantly. Even if someone accidentally knocked over a wine glass, no one noticed, and only the sound of water dripping onto the ground could be heard.
