Chapter 175 Are you relieved this time?

Faced with his inexplicable anger, Qi Siwei was a little confused. The reason why she took the initiative to show goodwill was just to let him relax his guard.

But in reality it seems to be of no use.

The room was pitch black, and only the rough outlines of each other could be seen. Qi Siwei slowly raised her hand and placed it on his belt: "Since we are here, let's take a rest quickly."

This was the only time she took the initiative since he took her, but she was obviously nervous, and her hands holding the belt were even shaking.

Does she want to leave?

It turned out that she had already made up her mind to leave the Jiang Mansion. The reason she married him was just to use him to rescue Qi Yuanchang.

This was the result he had expected, so on the day Qi Yuanchang was exiled, when he learned that she was going to see him off, Jiang Jie was so nervous, worried that she would just leave.

She was soft and fragrant, and her quilt was as smooth as silk. In the end, he still vented his anger on her.

Qi Siwei endured his plunder, and the tears in her eyes were hard to tell whether they were because of the joy of being freed, or because of the sadness for her short ten years of life, but it seemed that none of this mattered anymore.

The cold light of the dagger flashed from under the pillow, and a ray of moonlight reflected on it, which was a little dazzling.

This time, Qi Siwei did not hesitate and stabbed directly at the person on her body, but her movements were still a little slow, and it seemed that she only scraped a little flesh and blood.

Then, I felt something light on my body, and the man disappeared into the darkness. Only a terrifying and cold voice could be heard: "You appear to be so obedient, just to kill me?"

At this point, Qi Sisi had already forgotten about life and death: "Yes, I am going to kill you."

"You and I have been in love for a long time, but we haven't developed any feelings for each other. You are really the Qi family, cruel and ruthless."

Qi Siwei heard this and smiled bitterly for a long time: "I don't know who you are, but I hate you to the core. It's you who made me regret my life and everything I have. Today, all of this should end."

The room was quiet for a moment.

Is he gone?

Qi Siwei was extremely disappointed. Although she knew that the opponent was very skilled in martial arts, she had planned for a long time and decided to strike when he was least prepared, but she still failed.

"Some things, once done, should be lived in nightmares forever. This is true for your father, your whole family, and you even more so... because you need to atone for your sins."

I thought he had left, but suddenly I heard him speak again. Qi Siwei raised the short blade defensively, facing the darkness in front of her.

The word "atonement" echoed in my mind.

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? Don't you know it?"

Qi Siwei: “…”

Qi Siwei had no idea how many things her father had done, but it was a fact that he had been in cahoots with Prince Chen for so many years, and he was indeed inseparable from Prince Chen's affairs.

But what does this have to do with him and myself?

Qi Siwei wanted to ask clearly, but suddenly she felt that it didn't matter whether to ask or not. Since the assassination attempt failed, she might not have another chance in the future.

It’s her fate to die, maybe she really deserved it.

"Since you have a grudge against the Qi family, I will... return it to you."

As she finished speaking, she suddenly turned the knife in her hand towards herself and stabbed it into her chest without hesitation.

The incident happened suddenly and Jiang Jie wanted to stop it but it was too late.

Qi Siwei pulled her lips. The pain seemed more like redemption to her. She smelled the blood: "Are you relieved this time?"

Jiang Jie put on his coat and gritted his teeth, "You crazy woman."

"Maybe, but it's good to be crazy. I only owe Master Jiang for bringing shame upon him because of me. But after I die, he probably won't... pursue the matter anymore..."

**

The Chen Palace was surrounded so tightly that not even a fly could get in. All the secret passages leading to various places were blocked, making it impossible to escape secretly.

The gate of Prince Chen's mansion opened. Prince Chen, who was sitting quietly in the courtyard, raised his head. When he saw Ji Lingchuan, his eyes dimmed.

Ji Lingchuan didn't come to talk to him, so he brought He Nianqing in.

When King Chen saw her, a hint of emotion flashed across his eyes: "You are not dead?"

After saying this, he sneered: "No wonder He An is so confident, it turns out he has found irrefutable evidence."

"My Lord, you threw me off the cliff because you robbed my letters. I'm sure you know that I tore off your jade pendant when I fell off the cliff."

At this point, King Chen knew that it was useless to make excuses and was too lazy to pay attention to her.

He Nianqing smiled bitterly, "That day, you suddenly had the intention to kill me not because I loved someone else, but because you wanted to dominate the He family. You knew that your father was unwilling to get involved in the court disputes. Only by getting rid of the eldest wife, you would have the opportunity to use the He family's plan."

"Am I right?"

King Chen: “…”

He glared coldly at the woman in front of him. The scene from a few years ago seemed to have happened just yesterday. The hateful look in her eyes when she fell off the cliff reappeared in his mind: "It's your father and brother who don't know how to behave."

He Nianqing did not show much emotion when she heard this. She came here today just to find out what happened back then.

Turning to Ji Lingchuan, he said, "Thank you very much, General Ji, for coming today."

Ji Lingchuan nodded and turned around: "Did you write down everything His Royal Highness Prince Chen said?"

"Reply General, I have noted it all down."

"Ji Lingchuan, how dare you plot against me?" Prince Chen was furious: "Since it has not been brought to trial, and this is not the court, how can you be allowed to make up stories at random?"

Ji Lingchuan didn't take it seriously: "Your Highness Prince Chen, in addition to the routine inquiries, there is also good news today. Princess Chen is pregnant. Although she is in the Dali Temple, she is often visited by the imperial physician. Your Highness does not need to worry."

King Chen: “…”

It's impossible. After bringing her back to the palace, except for a few times when he summoned her after drinking, he never touched that woman again.

How could she be pregnant?

But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to guess. As a princess living in a deep mansion and a person of low status, it is inevitable that she cannot bear loneliness.

Although he is a bastard, it may be an opportunity for him who is imprisoned.

It all depends on how the mother plans.

The moment the palace door closed, He Nianqing felt as if all her strength was drained away. If Ji Lingchuan hadn't held her up, she would have fallen down the steps at the door.

He Nianqing was not as calm as she appeared to be. She had a lot of hatred and resentment in her heart, but she couldn't shed a single tear. "I'm sorry, sir. Prince Chen admitted that he was the first to harm me, so this cleared my mother and me."

Ji Lingchuan: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

He Nianqing shook her head: "I should thank the general. I blame myself for not being good enough. I was scared when I saw him. All I could think of was the scene of him throwing me off the cliff."

This scene tormented her for several years, and she couldn't sleep at night and was filled with grief and anger.

I just hope that King Chen will get the retribution he deserves: "General Ji, will our action today really work?"

"He knows you're still alive, and soon the one in the palace will know too. But you don't have to be afraid. We will keep you safe."

He Nianqing looked determined: "I'm not afraid. As long as I can give justice to my father and brothers, it's worth it even if I die."

Ji Lingchuan: “…”

He'an, He'an, this trick of using people as bait, I don't know if it can catch the one in the palace.
