As the body in front of him collapsed to the ground, Ji Qianqiu finally saw the familiar figure in the distance, riding a horse and wearing silver armor—Shen Nianyi.
Holding a bow in one hand, Shen Nian gave orders to her subordinates behind her: "Don't hurt her. Take care of the rest of the Crown Prince's men."
She paused to look at her horse, and behind her followed Princess Shuwan, who had been hiding behind the horse and knew no martial arts.
From Ji Qianqiu's perspective, the two of them walked towards him from a superior position...
Ji Qianqiu, who had fallen, couldn't help but step back.
"Oh dear, isn't this our Crown Princess Ji Qianqiu? How did you end up in such a sorry state?" Princess Shuwan curled her red lips, making no attempt to hide her wicked nature, and added insult to injury.
Ji Qianqiu was surprised to find that the relationship between the two had become so good without her noticing.
What do you want to do?
Having been in a position of power for so many years, Ji Qianqiu naturally wouldn't let her aura be inferior. She looked directly into Shen Nianyi's eyes and said, "Weapons and soldiers are strictly prohibited in the imperial city. You just barged in like this! His Majesty is not dead yet!"
Ji Qianqiu didn't know what Shen Nianyi was going to do.
But she knew that between them, it was a fight to the death!
I won't let myself off so easily...
"Ji Qianqiu, how have you become so stupid?" Princess Shuwan's sarcastic words were barbed: "Can't you see?"
She spoke with a smile, as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world: "We're planning to usurp the throne!"
"From now on, Chen Nianyi will be the new emperor of this country, and I will be appointed as the prime minister by our emperor!"
These few words left Ji Qianqiu in disbelief.
"Are you all crazy?!"
Ji Qianqiu almost instinctively blurted out, "How can a woman be an emperor... No! Even if she were an emperor, Shen Nianyi doesn't have royal blood. She should be a princess no matter what..."
Ji Qianqiu,
This time, it was Shen Nian who spoke up: "You've said that women can't go to school, can't take the imperial examinations and become officials, can't go out into the world to do business, and can't take the initiative to divorce their husbands?"
"So now—"
Why can't a woman be an emperor?
Princess Shuwan's smile faded. She said, "Ji Qianqiu, you were the one who told me back then, what's the difference between a princess and a commoner? What does it matter if you're of royal blood?"
"I……"
Ji Qianqiu's face showed a moment of confusion.
Looking at Shen Nianyi and Princess Shuwan, who stood upright in front of her, radiating light from within, she vaguely recalled a scene from more than twenty years ago.
She had only recently transmigrated to this world.
She was young and impetuous.
She was arrogant and domineering.
Having received higher education, she couldn't stand the injustices suffered by the women here!
Back then, Ji Qianqiu was bolder and more daring than she is now. That young girl seemed fearless, even when many people told her, "It's impossible! It's unheard of!"
So what?
She went and made history!
Now Ji Qianqiu finally understands what it means that youthful spirit is an irreplaceable thing!
At that spring banquet, the person who shone brightly in front of countless young ladies and gentlemen from noble families was Ji Qianqiu, yet she was not Ji Qianqiu.
Ji Qianqiu suddenly realized.
So many years have passed, and it seems she has been swallowed up by this cannibalistic feudal society...
Back then, Shen Nianyi and Princess Shuwan listened to her words in disbelief from below the stage, but now, they are the ones looking at her in disbelief.
Time flies, and more than twenty years have passed.
For some reason, Ji Qianqiu became Shen Nianyi, and Shen Nianyi became Ji Qianqiu.
They were like a mirror, seeing their past selves reflected in each other's eyes.
Ji Qianqiu spent more than twenty years of her life trying to understand these girls who were trapped by feudalism for their entire lives, but in the end, she became like them.
