In the pitch-black night, only the red lanterns of Qingcheng Tower were lit. Girls were lying on the top floor, scattering skateboards. Pink petals fell. On the large platform upstairs, a woman with stunning beauty stood out, as beautiful as a fairy, with a touch of charm and sorrow like autumn water.
The woman's red dress, which seemed out of place with her temperament, did not appear jarring. Apart from the long sleeves, it revealed almost all of her most beautiful body, leaving countless people breathless. A guqin played a tune beside her, and the woman swayed to the music.
Her eyes were filled with endless sorrow, and her beautiful face could not hide her wounds; all sorts of signs of abuse were clearly visible.
Cursed by the glamorous empress, she lost control of her body and could only allow her once-beloved subjects to taint her noble soul with their evil gazes.
She danced as if in flames, passionate and soul-stirring, hoping one day to break free from this predicament.
She was stunningly beautiful, yet tragically tragic.
Even Quan Ji had to admit that the sight of her flowing sleeves was beautiful.
But the clothes, and the lewd sounds of the men below, made her feel extremely disgusted.
"Hahaha, Empress Ruoqiu's body is truly a sight to behold, tsk tsk tsk... The once high and mighty empress has now been reduced to a plaything for commoners like us, how tragic."
"Who told her to ruin Empress Vastness's plans? Empress Vastness is truly the savior of every man. If it weren't for her... we would still be living the kind of life where we have to listen to women."
"Tsk tsk tsk, so-called monogamy for men? We men can get several women pregnant at once, but can women get pregnant with several men at once? Men should be able to play with whichever woman they want!"
"Haha, if there really were a woman who could get pregnant with the children of countless men, we would have had one in Xiangzhi City long ago."
"Speaking of which, that pregnant woman last time actually went into labor while playing around, that was so exciting! I wonder when Empress Ruoqiu will get pregnant, hahaha!"
"What Empress Ruoqiu? She should be called a slut Ruoqiu now! In this Xiangzhi City, which man hasn't slept with her?!"
...
Hearing these words, Quan Ji couldn't help but sneer, a chill creeping down her spine.
The Xinmeng Empire may not have been a powerful nation in the past, but under the leadership of Empress Ruoqiu, it was extremely stable every year.
There has never been any news of any major events occurring in the Xinmeng Empire.
The happiness index of the people in the Xinmeng Empire has always been among the highest, surpassing most fifth-level empires.
This shows just how kind Empress Ruoqiu was to her people.
But now?
What is the result of kindness?
Quan Ji pursed her lips as the melody finally ended.
Empress Ruoqiu's face showed even greater sorrow and exhaustion, as she awaited being dragged away, and then...
How long will this continue?
She doesn't hate these people; they are her subjects.
If her people were inherently good, even with superficial guidance, they wouldn't have turned out this way.
Which step went wrong?
"The auspicious hour has arrived! Courtesan Ruoqiu, flick your sleeves!"
Ruoqiu stared blankly into the distance, unaware of where the light was. Driven by the curse, she could only flick her water sleeves.
Next, her former subjects dragged her down.
She closed her eyes resignedly, tears streaming down her face.
The people below were already shouting with excitement.
However, before she could be pulled down, screams of agony filled the air.
The men's voices were as loud as fireworks during Chinese New Year.
Quan Ji was dressed casually, a slight smile playing on her lips, her voice cold:
"A bunch of cowards, how dare they desecrate the Empress with such eyes? They must be tired of living!"
"To gouge out your eyes is the greatest mercy I can show you. Do not forget who gave you the means to survive."
"Even if the Empress is in dire straits, she is not someone you can defile."
Perhaps because they were both leaders of the same country, when Quan Ji saw these scenes, her anger almost reached its peak.
She floated gently, golden lotus marks swirling in her eyes, her entire body enveloped in a faint golden light, sacred and supreme in the darkness.
Ruoqiu stared blankly at the woman floating up in front of her, a look of surprise crossing her eyes.
"You...you've arrived."
Quan Ji stretched out her hand, and a golden light flashed, covering the scantily clad Empress Ruoqiu with a thin yet very thick cloak.
"I am late, but I will repay your kindness in providing me with a meal today."
Empress Ruoqiu's eyes suddenly reddened, and she covered her mouth and nose. As the former emperor of a country, she could only let that bitterness wash away all her emotions.
"Thank you so much for your help, young lady!"
Princess Quan reached out and took Empress Ruoqiu's hand.
No need for formalities.
She summoned the Golden Dragon Calligraphy Treasure, and with a casual wave of her hand, wrote a golden character "破" (break).
The word "broken" slowly drifted towards Empress Ruoqiu, purifying the weakest curse on her body.
The curse on Empress Ruoqiu, which controls her body and prevents her from leaving Qingcheng Tower, is a divine curse, and it is the only curse that Princess Quan can nullify.
The other curses, namely the silence and the immortality bound to the body, are all very strange types of curses.
It looks like a deity, but leans more towards the undead, and Quan Ji cannot dispel it.
Quan Ji said, "Now, it is up to you how you judge these ungrateful beasts."
She could see that Empress Ruoqiu was in a pitifully weak position.
His energy was almost depleted and could not be restored; there must be some secret behind it.
