Ji Mingwei suddenly felt her body tighten, and her whole body was pressed against Madam Wan without any gap. Before she could react, the world spun around her!
Ye Qingxue pulled the whip back and threw the two of them hard to the ground. In an instant, Ji Mingwei felt as if her internal organs were about to shift.
"Princess Xuan!" Yunxiang'er and the other guards tried to rush forward to save her, but were driven back by Ye Qingxue's men.
"Mother—no!" Madam Wan's two children rushed forward, but were stopped by Dongbai.
Dong Bai said, "The Crown Princess only wants to arrest Princess Xuan. If you want your mother to be safe, then stay quietly to the side!"
The two children could only retreat slowly, tears streaming down their faces.
Ji Mingwei struggled to get up from the ground, but before she could make a move, several long swords were already at her neck, and all her movements stopped instantly!
Ye Qingxue put away her whip, stood beside her, and looked down at her: "Princess Xuan, tell your men to stop!"
Madam Wan was pulled from the ground by the guards. She rushed to the two children, hugged them tightly, and hid to the side, her body trembling.
Ji Mingwei remained silent.
She propped herself up on the ground, looked up at Ye Qingxue, who was still wearing that ice-blue dress, just like before, aloof and cold, as if everything was under her control.
Oh no, now everything is truly under her control.
Ji Mingwei looked at her current situation, and then at how she was completely surrounded.
Even if she doesn't surrender or admit defeat now, it's just a last-ditch effort. The outside is already full of Ye Qingxue's people, and her people will be wiped out sooner or later!
How did it come to this?
She never thought she would lose. She clearly had Xiao Bao, such a useful piece, who could have easily killed Ye Qingxue. Why did things turn out like this?
Just now she was thinking that even if she lost for the time being, it wouldn't matter, at least she could keep her life. But now, she has actually fallen into Ye Qingxue's hands!
The fall from heaven to hell can happen in the blink of an eye?
She can't accept it! She can't accept it!
Overwhelmed with resentment and grief, Ji Mingwei coughed up blood on the spot, her clothes stained red with drops of blood, making her face look extremely pale!
The sounds of swords clashing and the screams of battle still echoed in the air. Suddenly, Ji Mingwei burst into laughter, a laugh that was both jarring and sorrowful.
Yunxiang'er and the others glanced at her, and their fighting slowed down somewhat.
Ji Mingwei kept her eyes fixed on Ye Qingxue, her gaze unwavering, filled with resentment, sorrow, and unwillingness...
She lost. She actually lost. She really lost to Ye Qingxue.
After years of planning, she had a unique advantage. Even her eldest son was smarter than Ye Qingxue's eldest son. The odds were clearly in their favor, but she still lost!
How exactly does fate write a person's destiny?
I've never let her have an easy time since she was a child!
What heinous crime did she commit in her past life to deserve this treatment?
"Hehe...hehehe..." Ji Mingwei laughed, blood spilling from her mouth again, but she ignored it, letting it drip onto her chest.
Ye Qingxue didn't speak, she just looked at her.
Ji Mingwei's laughter gradually stopped. She tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and after a while, she exhaled, opened her eyes, and tears suddenly welled up and fell to Ye Qingxue's feet.
She adjusted her posture, kneeling on the ground, facing Ye Qingxue, with her hands supporting her body on both sides, looking up at Ye Qingxue.
"Princess Consort, you were born lucky. You are the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong and were engaged to the noble Prince Ding when you were young."
"But I was born into a humble family. In order to find a good marriage, I was sent to the Marquis's mansion and raised by my aunt. Even so, it is still difficult to find a good marriage."
She was so desperate and unwilling to accept it that she couldn't help but think through her entire life and hate everyone she met.
"And you, even if you were rejected by Prince Ding, you were still able to marry Prince Jing and the current Crown Prince."
"I worked hard for many years, but because I wasn't born into the womb of a wealthy family's principal wife, I finally managed to marry Prince Xuan through my own efforts, only to be demoted to Liangzhou less than three days later..."
"All I wanted was to live a good life. God gave me hope, why has He taken it all away now! Why?!"
In the end, Ji Mingwei was questioning him, her voice hoarse and exhausted.
Perhaps she wasn't questioning Ye Qingxue; she was questioning fate and cursing the injustice of heaven.
Ye Qingxue slowly lowered herself down, squatted down in front of her, looked her in the eye, and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Ji Mingwei's face: "I sympathize with what you've been through."
Ji Mingwei stared blankly at her, tears streaming down her face as if a dam had burst.
It seemed like it took her a while to react. She turned her face away, avoiding Ye Qingxue's hand: "Don't pretend to be kind with your crocodile tears!"
Ye Qingxue withdrew her hand without forcing him, and said, "As a woman, you are both smart and hardworking. As a cousin living in your aunt's house, you helped the Seventh Prince get rid of Empress Shen and made great contributions. After that, you successfully married him and became Princess Xuan. You are really amazing."
Ji Mingwei turned around and glared at her hatefully, thinking that she was making sarcastic remarks.
However, Ye Qingxue changed the subject and said, "Actually, you have had several opportunities to live a good life."
"Do you remember? Back then, Yun Zhuo and I risked our lives to surround Empress Shen and Yun Chi, but you took the opportunity to kill Empress Shen and steal the credit that should have belonged to us."
