Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Kunning Hall.

When Yin Qi arrived, there were eunuchs and palace maids kneeling on the ground inside and outside.

In the room, Princess Longji, Huang Feiyan, Shang Qingjun, and Feng Yanran had already arrived. They looked at Zhou Ji, who was lying on the jade couch without a sound, and they all sobbed with their heads down.

"My lord, my sister is gone!"

Seeing Yin Qi rushing over, Huang Feiyan could no longer control herself and threw herself into Yin Qi's arms and burst into tears.

All in all, she has been married for ten years, but she still has the innocent character of a girl, because Yin Qi dotes on her and Zhou Ji treats her like her own sister, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.

"Your Majesty!"

Princess Longji, Shang Qingjun, and Feng Yanran all had red eyes.

After Princess Longji pleaded for mercy, Feng Yanran has gradually recovered. She also knows that her father brought this upon himself, and being able to preserve a bloodline and save the women of the Feng clan is already the limit.

Otherwise, if it goes too far, it will be a challenge to the national law.

She was not a person who could not distinguish right from wrong, so she naturally would not blame Yin Qi for being ruthless.

Just because of this incident, she and Yin Qi are not as close as before, and it takes time to heal the wounds.

Yin Qi nodded to the three women, patted Huang Feiyan on the back, let her go, and walked towards the jade bed.

For the sake of authenticity, he didn't even tell Princess Longji about the substitute puppet.

He sat down at the head of the bed, gently stroked Zhou Ji's face, his face full of grief.

After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "All of you should go out. I want to be alone with Zhou Ji. Also, block the news. No one is allowed to leak it without my order."

"Your Majesty!"

The faces of Princess Longji's four daughters changed.

"Get out!"

"Ah! Yes, my king."

The four girls also knew that Yin Qi was probably the saddest person present.

Soon, Princess Longji's four daughters and the palace maids and eunuchs all left the room and closed the door. Yin Qi then resumed the situation and waved his hand to set up an isolation ban.

"Wake up."

As Yin Qi finished speaking, Zhou Ji opened her eyes and a look of fear flashed across her heart.

She sat up by the bedside, and said with lingering fear: "My lord, I felt like I had a close call with death before. Fortunately, you gave me a substitute puppet, otherwise I would have been separated from you forever."

As Zhou Ji spoke, she spread out her palm and a substitute puppet broken into two pieces appeared.

Her phoenix eyes were filled with anger as she asked, "Who on earth would use such a vicious method to deal with me? I am only the queen of the Shang Dynasty. Even if you curse me to death, what can it do?"

She felt angry and confused.

Yin Qi said quietly, "If I kill you, I can put the blame on you."

Zhou Ji was stunned and asked hurriedly: "My king, what do you mean by this? Why are you putting the blame on you?"

At this point, Yin Qi no longer needed to hide anything, and said, "Ever since the last time the Imperial Master deduced that someone was going to assassinate you, I have been investigating openly and secretly for some time, and I finally found out."

"Who wants to harm me?"

Zhou Ji's pupils narrowed, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Your father, Ji Chang!"

"My father..."

Zhou Ji's eyes widened and she shook her head in disbelief, "My father, how could it be my father? Why would he murder me? Why would he frame you? This is impossible."

She couldn't believe it.

In her mind, her father has always been a kind and generous man who has loved her very much since she was a child.

She couldn't believe that such a father could possibly harm him.

But the person who said this was Yin Qi, her husband, the embodiment of a perfect man, and he couldn't possibly lie to her.

So she was confused.

Yin Qi sighed and said, "It can't be wrong. It was your father Ji Chang. As for the reason, it was of course to find an excuse to rebel against the Shang Dynasty. I believe you know more or less about the hatred between the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

When my grandfather Wen Ding was in power, the Shang Dynasty gradually declined, while your Xiqi developed rapidly.

In order to curb the development of your Xiqi, Wen Ding tricked your grandfather Ji Li to Chaoge in the name of reward, and then killed him on trumped-up charges, sowing the seeds of today's disaster. Your father Ji Chang has always remembered the revenge of his father's murder, and secretly worked hard to seek revenge.

The late emperor saw what your father Ji Chang was thinking, and for the sake of stability in the world, he married your sister to your father Ji Chang, hoping that this method could ease the conflict between the two sides.

But it is obvious that your father Ji Chang has never forgotten this hatred."

At this point, Yin Qi paused, looked at the confused Zhou Ji and continued, "With the development of our Great Shang's national strength, your father Ji Chang would have to bury this hatred in his heart forever.

But the bad thing is that your father Ji Chang got the support of the Chan sect.

In recent years, your father Ji Chang has been preparing for war, and even further west, he has conquered a vast territory of more than 20 million miles.

He felt that he had enough strength to avenge his father.

If he wanted to start a rebellion against the Shang Dynasty, he needed a legitimate reason, otherwise it would destroy his image as a "virtuous lord".

But the excuse of revenge for one's father is a bit far-fetched.

Moreover, he had accepted the marriage proposal back then, so it would be inappropriate to use this as an excuse.

So, he had no choice but to turn his attention to you."

Zhou Ji's face was pale, and tears kept falling down her face like beads from a broken string.

Yin Qi's words were like a knife, stabbing into her heart, making her feel so painful that she couldn't breathe.

The image of her father.

Collapsed!
Not just a collapse, but one that was so callous and at her expense.

But Zhou Ji was not an ordinary woman after all. She just cried silently, and soon came to her senses. She wiped the tears from her face and asked in a hoarse voice: "My king, why does the Chan sect support Ji Chang?"

She hated Ji Chang, and hated the Chan sect even more.

If it weren't for the Chan sect, her father wouldn't have had such inappropriate thoughts and wouldn't have used her as a sacrifice.

Having died once, she had repaid Ji Chang's kindness.

From then on, all ties were severed.

Faced with the same experience as Feng Yanran, Zhou Ji saw things more clearly and knew her identity clearly.

She was the queen of the Shang Dynasty, not the daughter of Xiqi.

"This matter has to do with the Conferred God..."

Next, Yin Qi explained the Conferred Gods in detail, and also told Zhou Ji the reasons for the rebellion of Yuan Futong and Fengyun Sect and the mastermind behind it. This made Zhou Ji suddenly realize everything that she didn't understand before.

The saints used the heaven and earth as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces to complete the task of deifying themselves.

The Shang Dynasty, Xiqi, Youzhou, and Qingzhou are all chess pieces on the chessboard, at the mercy of others.

After being shocked, Zhou Ji hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, if the Chan Sect supports Ji Chang, how can our Shang Dynasty be a match for him?"

Yin Qi said: "I have known about the Conferred Gods for a long time, how could I not be prepared? You don't have to worry about the war between Shang and Zhou, I have my own plans. The news of your resurrection cannot be spread for the time being, I need to plot against Ji Chang. I will stay here with myself for the next two days to see how Ji Chang performs next."

"Ok!"

Zhou Ji nodded slowly.

She leaned on Yin Qi's shoulder, lost in thought.

Although I have decided to break off all ties with Ji Chang, there are many things that are beyond my control.

……

Xiqi.

Xibohou Mansion.

Ji Chang clicked on the video and saw the scene where Yin Qi rushed to Zhou Ji's bedroom and asked everyone to leave.

"Dead! Really dead!"

Ji Chang murmured to himself, feeling a tightness in his chest.

It's true that he wants revenge.

But his love for Zhou Ji was also real.

Everything is fate. (End of this chapter)
