Yue Xin couldn't bear to see Fang Jinse make such a sacrifice, but she had no other choice. After all, this was related to the life and death of Fang Jinse's adoptive parents, and she couldn't stop it. But when she thought of Zheng Qi's character, Yue Xin couldn't help but worry about Fang Jinse.
They finally arranged for Zheng Qi to come to the palace, and he arrived when it was still bright outside, not even night. Yue Xin was a little unhappy to see him coming so early, and scolded him, "Master Fang is too bold, it's not even dark yet, and it's still a long way from the time we agreed on!"
Zheng Qi glanced at her, then stretched out his hand in a vulgar way and quickly pinched Yue Xin's face, then said dissatisfiedly: "You don't even have a bit of meat on you. You are really a maid. You are far from your master. Your noble lady Fang is really a beauty in the world! That face, that chest, that ass, wow, I drool just by looking at it!"
Yue Xin was so angry that she scolded him, "You rascal!"
"Bah!" Zheng Qi was also angry. "Are you calling me a hooligan now? Then who invited me here today? You little bitch, don't think I don't know what you are up to. There are so many people in the palace who are trying to curry favor with me. I am willing to go to the Liqing Palace. It is a blessing for your master. Don't be shameless. If you keep saying something I don't like to hear, I will be angry and leave. Don't cry then!"
"You..." Yue Xin was so angry that she was speechless, because what Zheng Qi said was absolutely right, they were the ones who took the initiative to invite him, and if there was any hooligans, they were the ones who were the hooligans, they didn't take the initiative at all. Everyone in the palace was locked up and couldn't go out, and Dashun was about to attack. Even though people had heard that Dashun would not harm innocent people, they were people in the palace. Who knew if Dashun's ninth prince would consider them innocent? If not, they would be doomed to die. If they wanted to leave the palace to save their lives, they could only rely on bribing Zheng Qi to achieve their goal. She heard that yesterday, two beauties in the harem had given themselves to Zheng Qi in exchange for the opportunity to leave the palace and survive. And those two beauties were selected in the same batch as Fang Jinse, and they had not yet had the chance to be favored by the emperor, but their clean bodies were taken advantage of by Zheng Qi. She was unwilling in her heart, and still said: "But you came too early, aren't you afraid of gossip?"
Zheng Qi laughed loudly: "Gossip? Will gossip make me lose a piece of meat or a tooth? Humph! The emperor is my sister's prisoner, who should I be afraid of in this palace? To tell you the truth, the Dashun will soon invade, and it is uncertain whether I can survive by then! I just want to have fun now, and you can also get practical benefits. It's the best of both worlds, and why not do it? Don't you think so?"
Yue Xin was speechless and stopped talking. She lowered her head and led him to Fang Jinse's room, then waited outside silently.
For the whole night, Zheng Qi was like a beast, torturing Fang Jinse in every way. She was listening outside the room, tears kept flowing, and her nails dug into her flesh. The servants in the entire palace heard the movement in the room and knew what happened, but who could say anything? Who dared to say anything? This palace is no longer the world of the Li family. In today's Zong Sui, the Chunyu family is the biggest power. Of course, this power will not be able to rise for a few days. At most three days, the Dashun will completely replace it.
Zheng Qi came out of Fang Jinse's room the next morning, still looking unsatisfied. He glanced at Yue Xin, but was not disappointed by her tears. Instead, he said cheerfully, "The food of your noble lady Fang is really good, even better than those unripe concubines. But your request is really strange. You don't want to escape from the palace, but just want me to help deliver a letter to the outside of the palace. Well, stay in the palace, I can still eat for two more days. I'll arrange for someone to deliver the letter to you, and you go in and help her wash it. I'll come again tonight."
Zheng Qi left. When Yue Xin entered the room, she saw a bed covered in blood and Fang Jinse, who was almost dead.
Zheng Qi was a pervert. Not only did he play with women, he also liked to use scissors to cut women's skin until they bled and screamed. He liked the thrill. Fang Jinse was tortured to the point of being unrecognizable. Her entire body was covered in bruises, and only her face was barely recognizable. Yue Xin cried and helped her up. The first thing Fang Jinse asked was, "Did he take the letter?"
Yue Xin nodded, "They took it away and said they would send it out of the palace. But..." She wiped her tears and said angrily, "Zheng Qi said he would come again tonight."
Fang Jinse smiled bitterly, "Come on! There are only two days left, I won't be tortured to death by him. As long as I am still alive, I will avenge this vengeance sooner or later. Help me get dressed and wash up, I still have to go and deliver food to the old thief Duanmu. We can't let him see the flaws, otherwise, my sins will be in vain."
On this side, Fang Jinse tried her best to successfully send her letter out of the palace, and then her people outside arranged to send it outside the city. On the other side, the Queen Chun Yuqing of Zong Sui was also racking her brains to find a way to get news from Dashun, with only one purpose, which was to confirm whether the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua was alive or dead.
Combining all the information she had received, Xuan Tianhua was undoubtedly dead, and there was no possibility of survival under such a thunder explosion. The reason why the Dashun Army was so powerful and attacked so quickly was because all the soldiers had one belief, which was to avenge the Seventh Prince.
But Chun Yuqing didn't want to believe that Xuan Tianhua was dead. She couldn't accept this reality. She was thinking, since there was no possibility of survival in the minefield, why was Feng Yuheng still alive? The two were clearly blown up together. It didn't make sense that one was dead and the other was still alive. According to her spies, Dashun's Princess Yu was not only alive, but also looked fine. All the exposed skin had no scars, and she didn't look like she had been blown up in the minefield at all.
Feng Yuheng's situation gave Chun Yuqing infinite hope. Since Feng Yuheng was alive, it made no sense that Xuan Tianhua must be dead. She felt that Dashun must have concealed something, and Xuan Tianhua was not dead. As long as she could investigate more carefully, she would definitely find some clues that Xuan Tianhua was still alive.
However, Chun Yuqing sat in the hall, thinking about these things, and couldn't help but find himself very funny. Even if Xuan Tianhua was still alive, what would happen? How could she, the queen of Zong Sui, have any connection with the seventh prince of Da Shun? Zong Sui was about to be gone, Da Shun could let the people go, but would never let the royal family go. The Chunyu family wanted to use Li Jian to exchange for hope of life, but they didn't know if Da Shun was willing to accept this favor. After all, even if the Chunyu family didn't take the initiative to hand over Li Jian, Li Jian would not be able to survive!
The divine seventh prince of Dashun had died in Tongcheng. This news was not very surprising and quickly spread throughout the capital of Sui.
If we talk about Xuan Tianhua's fame in Zong Sui, it must be in the capital. Every bookstore in Zong Sui's capital sells his portrait, and even many teahouses hang his portrait on the wall to show his otherworldliness. It is difficult to understand the feelings of the women in the capital towards Xuan Tianhua. Although they have never seen him, they have developed an inexplicable liking for him through his portraits, his immortal aura, and his deeds passed down by word of mouth.
This feeling was later described by Feng Yuheng as "chasing stars", which reminded her of the girls' pursuit of stars in later generations, which was exactly the same as her secret love for Xuan Tianhua today.
Xuan Tianhua's death caused a great sensation in the capital of Zong Sui. People couldn't believe this fact at all. Although they had heard before that the reason why Dashun attacked so quickly was because all the soldiers of Dashun were holding their breath and wanted to avenge the seventh prince, these rumors were only spread among men who often went out, and the women who rarely went out didn't know about it. But as the day of Dashun's siege approached, these rumors were gradually heard by the women.
Young girls, young women, even middle-aged women and old ladies were all shocked by the news. Like Queen Chun Yuqing, they simply did not believe that Xuan Tianhua was dead. They kept comforting themselves and kept finding various reasons to convince themselves that the Seventh Prince could not possibly die. However, this persuasion became less and less effective. Finally, the fact that the Seventh Prince of Dashun was killed in the bombing in Tongcheng was confirmed, and these women collapsed.
Feng Yuheng, who was far outside the city, heard the spy's report: "Zong Sui Kyoto has formed a women's revenge brigade, which has about 20,000 to 30,000 women of all ages. The youngest I saw was a child of five or six years old, and the oldest was an old lady in her fifties or sixties. They shouted slogans to avenge His Highness the Seventh Prince, and before I left the city, they had already rushed to the main gate of the Zong Sui Imperial Palace and pushed down the southern palace wall of the palace."
Feng Yuheng was shocked when she heard this. She tugged at Xuan Tianming's sleeve and concluded, "Did you hear that? You can mess with anyone but not a woman!"
Xuan Tianming nodded, "My lady is right." Then he asked the spy, "And then?"
The spy continued, "Then many imperial guards rushed out of the palace and tried to suppress them. But they didn't expect the fighting power of the women's revenge brigade to be so strong. Thousands of imperial guards fought one after another and were completely drowned by the 20,000 or 30,000 people. No matter whether the imperial guards had martial arts skills or weapons, they couldn't use them at all in front of the revenge brigade. The women surrounded them and squeezed them with their bodies. The elderly and children moved to one side, and the rest of the women helped together, squeezing the thousands of imperial guards to death."
Feng Yuheng wiped his sweat and said, "Continue."
"Later, General Chun Yu An of Zong Sui came forward, and only then did the emotions of the Ma Revenge Brigade calm down. The reason why Chun Yu An was able to calm them down was not because Chun Yu An was highly respected, but because he said that he would definitely cooperate with our Da Shun to attack the city, and personally hand over Emperor Li Jian to His Highness the Ninth Prince, so that His Highness the Ninth Prince would cut Li Jian into pieces to avenge our Seventh Prince."
