Chapter 2
This year was enough for Qi Wan to see clearly her status and situation.

But even so, she never expected that today's Hongmen Banquet was neither to divorce her nor to drive her away.

But to her life.

Qi Wan bent over, looked at Mrs. Zheng who was crying so hard, and said softly,
"Mother, Mingyue is still young, am I already old?"

"She can't just die like this, can I?"

The old lady, Princess Chengyang, said: "Qi Wan, you have always been a magnanimous and sensible child. The Duke's Mansion owes Mingyue a debt, and you owe Mingyue a debt. You should understand your mother's mood at this time."

Qi Wan looked at her "father" Qi Guogong. Qi Guogong loved her very much in the past, but now he seemed a little entangled in heartache and helplessness: "Wan'er, Mingyue has suffered a great crime these years, and that family has treated her very harshly. Father doesn't want to use this method to save her, now, there is really no time, Wan'er, Mingyue can't afford to wait."

Qi Wan looked at everyone present.

The eldest brother said: "Little sister, just help Mingyue once, she is innocent."

The second brother said: "Qi Wan, you are not from our family in the first place, you enjoy these things that do not belong to you, don't you feel ashamed?"

The cousin said: "Cousin, you have to be grateful to be a human being. Your uncle and aunt have raised you for 16 years. You should repay them for their kindness in raising you."

The little lord said: "Qi Wan, you are really thick-skinned, doves have occupied the magpie's nest for so many years, do you still have the face to live?"

The last is her husband, Lian Jinchen. They knew each other when they were young, and she has admired him for many years. When she was 14 years old, it was Lian Jinchen's biological mother, Princess Huiqin, who came to propose marriage in person, and asked for a marriage from the imperial decree.

They were engaged for two years before getting married, and she always thought that Lian Jinchen liked her.

Lian Jinchen said: "Qi Wan, as long as you agree to this matter, this king promises you the position of princess, and you will always be my original wife."

Qi Wan smiled.

Upbringing?Dove occupying magpie's nest?The original wife?

Could it be that her parents never raised Qi Mingyue?It is said that Qi Mingyue has suffered great grievances, but if her parents were not careful, how could Qi Mingyue, a person born with heart disease, have survived until now?Allowing her to have a wife as the original match, does it mean the memorial tablet?
It's just forcing her to die, but I want to say it so grandiosely.

"Okay." Qi Wan agreed.

"However, I have a condition."

If she didn't respond, she might not be able to get out of this courtyard alive today.

Everyone didn't expect her to agree so quickly, fearing that she would regret it, they hurriedly said, "Say it."

Qi Wan looked at Lian Jinchen and said, "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Since I got married with the prince, I have never attended the banquet together. Since the prince is willing to grant me the position of princess, please come with me. You can't." I am going to die, and I will be ridiculed as an abandoned woman who is not recognized by the prince."

Lian Jinchen's face darkened slightly.

The others also frowned. She was a merchant woman, how dare she make such a request?
But thinking of Qi Mingyue who was dying, they still endured it, but looked at Lian Jinchen nervously.

Lian Jinchen was somewhat disgusted by Qi Wan's greed, but for Qi Mingyue, he still nodded: "Okay."

……

Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Qi Wan was dressed in a palace attire of the rank of a first-rank concubine, wearing a phoenix hairpin, and put on her makeup ceremoniously.

She was already bright and gorgeous, but with such a dress, she was even more gorgeous.

Lian Jinchen was dazed by her attire, and then showed disgust again.

As expected of a merchant girl, she is really gaudy.

After entering the palace, Qi Wan instantly became the focus of discussion.

The people who originally bet on when she would be divorced looked at each other in blank dismay. Of course, they were more mocking her for taking someone else's place, how could she still have the face to show up.

Qi Wan turned a deaf ear to everything.

Of course, Qi Guogong's family also came, except Qi Mingyue, who said he was seriously ill and could not breathe.

Mrs. Zheng shed tears when she mentioned Qi Mingyue to others, which made Qi Wan, who was standing here alive and kicking, even more shameless.

Lian Jinchen was even more sullen the whole time, and never even glanced at Qi Wan.

Qi Wan always laughed at Yan Yan, as if nothing had happened, greeted and chatted with people, completely ignoring the ridicule.

Halfway through the banquet, the emperor got up to leave, and Qi Wan also left his seat.

About a quarter of an hour later, someone suddenly exclaimed,
"Isn't that Princess Chen?"

Everyone followed the voice and saw Qi Wan standing at the railing of Yunguang Terrace, looking down at them.

The emperor of Xiliang liked tall buildings, and the place where the palace banquet was held was called Yunguangtai. It was built on the mountain, and the high platform was ten feet high from the ground.

The railing where Qi Wan is standing now is behind the dragon chair placed by the emperor of Xiliang. After the emperor of Xiliang left, the dragon chair was removed, and the imperial platform was vacant.

Nearly one foot below the royal platform is the banquet hall for the officials.

The steps separated the banquet hall from the imperial platform. The banquet hall was in front of Qi Wan, and the ten-foot-high platform was behind her.

"Qi Wan, what are you doing?!"

Lian Jinchen got up and shouted angrily.

He wanted to go forward, but was stopped by the imperial guards guarding the steps.

Qi Wan looked at the audience with a smile on her face.

"Don't worry, my lord. Since I agreed, I won't count my words."

"I'm here today, but there are some things. Before I finish, I should make it clear. To save me from being slandered after my death in the future."

"Everyone knows that I, a small merchant girl from a farming family, fell in love with Qi Mingyue, the eldest daughter of Qi Guogong's mansion. Now that I am the real daughter, I, a merchant girl with a dishonorable name, am naturally not worthy of being a state official. The lady of the public house is not worthy to be the concubine of King Chen."

"Qi Mingyue was born with a heart disease, and now I want to use my heart to treat the disease, they asked me to dig it out."

"Shut up!" Several people in the audience yelled almost at the same time, and even tried to stop Qi Wan from continuing, but were stopped by the forbidden army.

Qi Wan looked at Lian Jinchen and the Qi family who wanted to tear her apart, and smiled.

"You say that I occupy the magpie's nest, that you have been kind to me in nurturing me, that I robbed Qi Mingyue's husband, and that I owe Qi Mingyue."

"First, I didn't know about the wrongdoing. I was also a victim. What kind of dove am I to occupy a magpie's nest?"

"Secondly, you raised me, and my parents also raised Qi Mingyue. Your kindness in raising me is kindness, but my parents' kindness is not kindness?"

"Thirdly, my lord, since you like Qi Mingyue, you and I haven't consummated the marriage, so we will return to each other directly. You can marry Qi Mingyue once again, so why did I rob her of her sweetheart?"

When her voice fell, Mrs. Zheng yelled madly: "Everything you have now, which one didn't rob Mingyue?"

"You are right, some things are indeed not mine." Qi Wan nodded and said,
"You guys named me Qi Wan. This name doesn't belong to me, so I give it back to you."

She took off the jewelry chains from her hair one by one: "These are not mine either."

Then he took off his coat: "Nor are these."

She took off only her underwear, and then put down a piece of gold leaf she was clutching in her palm: "This is what His Majesty rewarded me. I bought this set of underwear, it should be more than enough."

"I have returned all my belongings, and the Qi family and I have no ties to each other."

"Also, although I am no longer Qi Wan, the marriage contract is naturally not counted, but His Majesty is kind enough to give me a piece of paper and a letter of departure. I heard that my biological father's surname is Chen. Today, the daughter of the Chen family reconciled with King Chen, From then on, life after life, fate and love will be cut off, and there will be no more ties."

Qi Wan handed the imperial decree placed on the railing to the guard and asked him to give it to Lian Jinchen.

Then he took the dagger on it and stabbed it into his chest, blood flowed out, staining his white underwear red,

"I'll let you take this heart away for now."

"In the next life, I will definitely get it back."

She reached into her chest with her bare hands and took out her heart, and put it on the clothes she had taken off.

Turn around and jump off the railing.

 [ps: Let me explain, the heroine was not a monster in her previous life, and she couldn't survive her death by cutting her heart.One more spoiler is that her heart is an important prop that can be used and taken away. 】
