The fifth year of Zhengxiong, August 14, 1300

The sky was gray and heavy rain was pouring down. The entire imperial city was immersed in a misty fog, and the majestic ancient buildings were under the baptism of the storm.

A group of men in black braved the heavy rain and rushed into Qi's residence with swords in hand, killing anyone they saw without mercy.

"Help!"

"It's a murder, help!"

The screams for help and the clanging of swords were all drowned out by the sound of heavy rain.

In the Qi Mansion, everyone, from the sixty-year-old General Qi to the crying one-year-old child, were hacked to death in the rain, and the blood was instantly washed away by the rain.

They all died with their eyes open.

At the same time, in the backyard of the imperial palace not far away, there was a dilapidated hut swaying in the wind and rain.

Qi Wan was standing at the door with an anxious look on his face, looking at the yard where the rain was pouring down with uneasiness in his heart.

The rain poured down heavily, and the rising water mist dispersed in the air. When I inhaled it, there was a fishy smell, like the smell of blood.

Qi Wan seemed to hear the calls of Qi family members.

She really wanted to break out of all the difficulties and check if her family was okay.

Qi Wan was imprisoned in the Buddhist temple in the imperial palace for nearly six years.

After she married the Third Prince as his princess consort, she was imprisoned in the backyard. Except for the head maid Lan Ting, all the servants disappeared.

Four months later, the third prince came to the throne and she was moved to a remote Buddhist temple in the palace. From then on, even Lan Ting never appeared again.

The emperor announced to the public: "The queen is praying for the army led by General Qi in the Buddhist temple."

In the past few years, Qi Wan has never shown his face in public.

The Qi family knew about Qi Wan through her maid Lan Ting, who reported: "The queen is fine."

"The Emperor treats His Majesty well."

During festivals, the Qi family members presented cards to ask to see the queen, but were always rejected by the emperor, "When General Qi returns triumphantly, you can come and meet the queen again."

The Qi family gradually realized that the emperor was probably afraid that Qi Wan's father Qi Lu would not try his best to kill the foreign enemies, so he used Qi Wan as a hostage.

Thousands of miles away, Qi Lu received a letter from his family, "The queen is praying for the army in the Buddhist temple in the palace, and outsiders have never seen it." He worked even harder to kill the enemy to ensure his daughter's safety.

Qi Lu had two sons and only one daughter, Qi Wan, whom he regarded as a treasure.

Qi Wan knew very well that he had become a hostage threatening his father and brother.

She hoped that her father and brother's army would return victoriously so that the whole family could be reunited.

To this end, she did not make any noise, but got up early and went to bed late, ate vegetarian food and chanted scriptures. In the simple and dilapidated Buddhist temple, she sincerely prayed for her father, brothers and the army.

Today, she suddenly felt uneasy, as if something bad had happened.

A palace maid with a anxious look on her face was running along the corridor. Her whole body was soaked by the rain, leaving a trail of water in the corridor behind her.

Wu Yi saw Qi Wan standing at the door and said anxiously, "My queen, please leave with me quickly. It will be too late."

"Wu Yi, what happened?" Qi Wan asked anxiously, holding a string of white crystal beads tightly in her hand.

Wu Yi stood in front of Qi Wan and looked around in panic. She didn't explain why, but just said, "It's safer to leave. Let's go quickly."

Qi Wan frowned and looked outside. "It's raining so hard, where can we go?"

She didn't quite believe Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was not a servant of the Qi family.

She was a palace maid who was assigned to do rough work after Qi Wan came to the palace.

Wu Yi looks clumsy and savage, but in fact, she is quite skilled.

Wu Yi had wanted to take Qi Wan away many times, "It's not safe for the queen to be imprisoned here. One day she will be harmed by them."

"No, what will happen to my family after I leave?" Qi Wan was unwilling to escape.

At this time, Qi Wan still said this.

Wu Yi sighed helplessly.

Qi Wan said: "If there is real danger, leave quickly."

To express her gratitude to Wu Yi for his companionship and care over the past few years, she handed over the rosary in her hand and said, "This is the most valuable thing I have. You can sell it and look for your lost family members."

Wu Yi took a step forward and raised his hand.

She wanted to attack and knock Qi Wan unconscious, and then forcibly take him away from the palace.

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard outside, drowning out the sound of the storm.

Wu Yi withdrew his hand, took a step back nervously, and said, "Not good."

Qi Wan looked up and saw a large group of armored imperial guards coming into the yard, escorting a gorgeous dragon chariot.

The guards rushed in and immediately surrounded the yard in three layers.

This scene is like killing the enemy in the front line and carrying out the final encirclement and suppression after victory.

There was a man and a woman sitting in the gorgeous dragon carriage.

Qi Wan took a closer look and became greatly disturbed.

The man is Emperor Zhengxiong, and also her husband.

She never expected that the woman sitting with the emperor was Lan Ting, her most trusted maid.

"You you..." Qi Wan raised his hand and pointed at Lan Ting, his lips trembling so much that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Lan Ting chuckled for a while and said, "Qi, I am now the imperial concubine."

"I also gave birth to a son for the emperor, who is five years old now."

Qi Wan was so angry that her eyes went dark. She cursed, "You ungrateful slave, I really regret buying you. If it weren't for me, you would still be entertaining customers in the brothel."

Lan Ting laughed a few times and cursed back, "You are incompetent, you are just an idiot."

Lan Ting stretched out her red-painted hand, pointed at Qi Wan and said arrogantly: "You have the dual identities of a noble family and the daughter of a general's mansion, but you are no match for me."

"I am the emperor's favorite concubine and I have given birth to a prince."

"What about you? The emperor doesn't even touch you, and you are just the queen in name only. Do you know how outsiders call you? Abandoned concubine, haha." Lan Ting laughed with her red lips.

"You slut!" Qi Wan was so angry that her whole body was shaking and she was filled with remorse.

Ten years ago, Lan Ting's father was convicted, the man was exiled, and the woman was sold into a brothel.

Qi Wan had met Lan Ting several times and felt sorry for her, so he asked his uncle, who was the prime minister, to buy Lan Ting with money and make her his maid.

In fact, Qi Wan treated Lan Ting like a real sister and never treated her as a servant.

Lan Ting can't remember these things.

She only remembered that she was the daughter of an official, but was treated as a maid by Qi Wan, which was a shameful thing.

She now has the capital to compete with Qi Wan, and she can humiliate Qi Wan by stepping on him, so as to regain her dignity.

Lan Ting shouted back, "My father has been reinstated, and my brother is a general of the guard. My status is now higher than yours."

The emperor leaned back on the dragon throne with a smile on his face, listening to his wives and concubines quarreling, finding it very interesting.

Qi Wan raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the door, shouting, "Get out!"

The emperor waved his hand, and Lan Ting shrank back, curling up beside the emperor like a cat, saying no more. Her heavily made-up face showed a look of gloating, and her eyes were fixed on Qi Wan.

Emperor Zhengxiong put away his smile and solemnly announced the decree, "Qi? Father and son led a large army to surrender to the enemy and were executed by the guards led by Lan Jian. The Qi family was convicted of treason and their property was confiscated and their family was exterminated."

"Qi, you're on your own." Emperor Zhengxiong waved his hand.

A eunuch came over with a tray, accompanied by several imperial guards.

Suddenly, Qi Wan heard the tragic news that her father and brother had died and the entire Qi family had been wiped out. She felt like she was struck by lightning, and her body swayed from side to side. Wu Yi stepped forward to support her.

Qi Wan was so angry that his chest ached and his heart was broken, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

She swallowed a mouthful of blood, pointed at the person opposite her and cursed loudly, "If it weren't for our Qi family, how could you be qualified to be the emperor? I helped you to the throne, but you actually wiped out my entire family."

"You two are a pair of ungrateful beasts, and you will never get any good reward."

"You are the one who deserves no reward. You killed the Qi family." Lan Ting leaned forward and retorted, "And your servants, it was all because of you. After they died, they were thrown into the mountains to feed the wild dogs."

She gloated again, "Your Majesty, kill her quickly and leave. The Fourth Miss Qi has just entered the palace and is still waiting for your favor in the harem."

Emperor Zhengxiong's angry face was replaced with a bright smile.

He laughed a few times and shouted, "Okay, I will listen to the Imperial Concubine. Come, send Qi on her way quickly. I'm afraid Fourth Miss Qi is getting a little impatient waiting for me."

"Ah!" Qi Wan groaned, opened his mouth and spit out blood again.

She was hit so hard that she could hardly breathe. Her whole body felt like it was hit by a sledgehammer and her torso was bent like a shrimp.

Only then did Qi Wan realize that the third branch of the Qi family had betrayed the first and second branches in exchange for wealth and glory.

It turned out that all her servants were dead, without a trace left.

"Your Majesty, please go on your way." The eunuch handed over a tray containing a dagger, poison, and white silk. He looked at Qi Wan with sympathy.

Qi Wan slowly stood up, pushed Wu Yi, and said in a dry voice, "Go quickly."

She stretched out her right hand and picked up the seven-inch long dagger from the tray, pointed it at her chest, and scanned the people present with her sharp eyes.

The imperial guards lowered their heads slightly, unable to bear to look directly at it.

The emperor leaned back in his chair proudly, with one arm around his favorite concubine. Getting rid of the Qi family made him extremely happy.

He was thinking about favoring the fourth Miss Qi who had just entered the palace tonight, and his concentration was a little distracted.

Suddenly, Qi Wan jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the dragon carriage in the yard like a fox, spread his arms and stabbed the emperor with a dagger.

Everyone was stunned and stood there staring blankly. They couldn't believe what they saw and thought it was because of the heavy rain that they were dazzled.

Emperor Zhengxiong was so frightened that he pulled the beauty in his arms to him, held her in front of his chest, and shouted, "Hurry up and save me."

He screamed, "Shoot her, shoot her!"

Qi Wan's dagger pierced deeply into Concubine Lan's chest.

Lan Ting looked at the dagger stuck in her chest in horror, then raised her eyes and looked at Qi Wan in shock.

She had followed Qi Wan since she was a child, but she didn't even know that Qi Wan knew kung fu.

She never expected that the emperor would use her to block the knife.

Qi Wan pulled out the dagger with force and tried to stab the emperor again.

"Shua shua" thousands of arrows were fired at the same time, and Qi Wan fell to the ground after being hit by multiple arrows.

She saw Wu Yi rushing over to save her, but he was riddled with arrows and died with his eyes open.

Qi Wan said to Wu Yi: "I'm sorry."

She looked up at the sky and murmured, "I'm sorry."

"I regret it so much. If I could live again, I would definitely... take revenge!" Qi Wan took his last breath.

Qi Wan stared at the dark sky. The heavy rain hit her, but it didn't allow her to close her eyes.
