My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

Qiwu did not go to see King Jingnan immediately, but left him at the door and went to the front hall.

Madam Qi was now blinded by hatred. Even though Duo Ling'er had been tortured into confessing everything, she was still beaten to death by Madam Qi out of venting her anger.

When Qiwu walked in, he saw this bloody scene.

He walked in quickly, drew the sword from his waist, and struck the man in the throat with one blow.

The head rolled down and stopped at Mrs. Qi's feet. Mrs. Qi was so scared that she took a step back and the whip in her hand fell to the ground.

Mrs. Qi was a little crazy because of her son's death, but she did not lose her mind. She knew who Duo Ling'er was, whose daughter she was, and whose fiancée she was.

So even if she hit someone, she didn't really mean to kill them.

Qi Wu looked at her with cold eyes, "Madam, you are relieved."

She looked up at General Qi in a daze. She had always known that Qi Wu was ruthless. She was afraid of him, but also enjoyed the honor he brought her.

But at this moment, she felt that she was no different from Duo Ling'er who died on the ground.

She wanted to answer that she felt relieved, but was she really relieved? No, she felt empty inside, her lips trembled for a long time, but she couldn't make a sound.

Qi Wu snorted coldly and ordered: "Madam has suddenly received the bad news about her beloved son and has been shocked. Send him to the backyard and send someone to call a doctor."

"Yes," the person who answered was not the palace guards guarding the main hall, but General Qi's most trusted deputy general.

Following Qiwu's order, all the servants serving in the main hall dispersed.

Qiwu sat in the first seat in the main hall, waiting for King Jingnan.

Prince Jingnan was left at the door and was suppressing his anger. He was about to go to war, and it was not the right time to fall out with the Qi family.

The servant led him to the main hall and then retreated. Before he entered, the bloody smell emanated from the main hall and permeated his entire body.

He frowned and stepped into the main hall. The main hall was spacious and clear at a glance. Qi Wu sat on a wide chair in the main hall, looking down at him. King Jingnan looked at her. The peace on the surface for many years had disappeared. "General Qi, killing the daughter of an official appointed by the court is a capital crime."

Qi Wu stood up and clasped his fists perfunctorily, "Please forgive me, my beloved son met with an accident, and my wife was shocked and became crazy and stupid, which led to this crime."

King Jingnan looked at the neatly severed head and naturally did not believe his words, but he knew that he was about to go to war and did not dare to offend him.

King Jingnan endured it again and again, "How can I forgive this matter? General Qi is heartbroken for the loss of his son, and so is General Duo. I will inform the king of this matter and he will decide." Then he ordered the servants to carry away Duo Ling'er's body.

Qi Wu watched King Jingnan walk away with his sleeves swung, his eyes darkened, and then he walked down and followed King Jingnan's footsteps, "Don't worry, my lord. Qi also wants to go and apologize to the king, let's go together."

Su Muxi didn't know what happened next. After General Qi and Prince Jingnan left the mansion, she also left the Qi Mansion.

Su Muxi returned to the inn. Today was exactly the three-day deadline. She sat in the lobby of the inn, poured herself a cup of tea, and waited for the man in black to come.

After finishing a cup of tea, the man in black arrived as promised, "Princess, your plan is so far-reaching, I admire you."

Su Muxi poured herself some tea, then poured another cup into the empty cup. She raised her hand and moved forward half a foot, "Sir, you came here alone. I admire you as well."

The man in black sat opposite Su Muxi, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "My princess is very courageous, and she even sang the empty city plan so loudly, are you really not afraid?"

This inn had been rented since the day Su Yi and his party arrived, but it was already empty at this time. People had already evacuated the inn when Su Muxi first arrived for the banquet.

Even though the empty city plan was exposed, Su Muxi was not angry at all. He knew her identity, and he dared to set the meeting place at the inn she booked, so he was naturally well prepared.

"Sir, there is no need to insinuate. Since you have already investigated thoroughly, you might as well tell the truth."
