The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Cui Zhu helped her sit on the chair and bowed deeply: "Jiang'er, the master has something to ask of you."

Tang Jiang stood up hurriedly: "Master, if you have something to say, please don't be polite. Jiang'er is very frightened."

Cui Zhu put his mouth close to her ear and began to explain things.

After hearing this, Dongguo Jiang was so frightened that he collapsed on his chair.

After telling Tang Jiang about it, he went to Qingfeng's house to plot something.

A few days later, the king of Ju came to pay homage to Duke Zhuang of Qi, and Jiang Guang hosted a banquet for the king of Ju on the Jiaxu day.

Cui Zhu was ordered to come and drink with him, but he lied that he was ill and could not go, so he did not accept the invitation.

On the Yi-Hai day, Duke Zhuang of Qi came to Cui Zhu's house under the pretext of visiting Cui Zhu.

In fact, he came to meet Tang Jiang privately. After Tang Jiang led him to the inner hall, he turned around and ran away.

When Duke Zhuang of Qi saw Tang Jiang running away, he thought she was playing a joke on him.

So he hugged a pillar and sang romantically: "...Sister, I miss you. Wait until the sun sets and follow me..."

Cui Zhu was so angry after hearing this that he thought, "What the hell? I'll follow you when the sun sets?"

This is my wife, okay? Why should I go with you? I'm so angry!

Jiang Guang, ah Jiang Guang, today I will make sure that you won’t see the sun tomorrow.

So he ordered his servants to surround Duke Zhuang of Qi in the name of arresting a rapist.

Duke Zhuang of Qi quickly ended his clumsy performance of "singing while hugging the pillar" and immediately ran away in panic.

In his panic, he jumped over the wall, but was shot in the thigh by an arrow and fell to the ground.

He was thrown so hard that he almost hugged the pillar again. He was about to shout for help, but because of his face, he could only shout: "Ouch! It hurts!"

Cui Zhu stepped forward and kicked him twice: "Damn Jiang Guang! You're bullying me too much!"

When Duke Zhuang of Qi saw that Cui Zhu was really angry, he began to feel afraid.

He begged for mercy hastily, "Wu Zi, please let me go this time because I've been so kind to you."

"Bah! The revenge for your father's murder, the hatred for your wife's seizure! As the ruler of a country, don't you understand that a ruler shouldn't tease his subjects' wives?"

"Besides, you've made me wear a green hat for so many days! I'm so pissed off!"

"My dear Cui, there is a saying that all under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects."

"You are all my property, so what's wrong with playing with them?"

"If you let me go today, I will obey you in everything from now on."

"Let you go! If I let you go today, tomorrow will be my death! Come on! Beat this rapist to death with clubs!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" the servants answered, and rushed forward, beating him with a clattering sound.

After a while, Duke Zhuang of Qi was beaten to the point of bleeding from all seven orifices, twitching a few times, and died.

When Duke Zhuang of Qi was in trouble, Yan Ying was outside the door. His subordinates asked in confusion, "Sir, why don't we go in and rescue the king?"

Yan Ying took a look inside and sneered, "If the king is in danger for the sake of the country, I have no choice but to help."

"But if the king is beaten to death for having an affair, I have no interest in being buried with him!"

"For a psychopath like him, this is not a bad outcome."

"Do you still remember the visit of envoys from the three kingdoms, including Jin and Wei, last year? He was very fed up with such boring and lacking entertainment."

"But I became very interested in the three envoys because they were very unusual."

"One is a hunchback, one is a cripple, and the other is a one-eyed man."

"So he ordered people to imitate the hunchback, the lame man, and the one-eyed man, and lead the three envoys to the emperor."

"That's not all. What's even more outrageous is that the king even arranged the most luxurious audience for this unique diplomatic drama he wrote and directed."

"These spectators are his mother, the three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, as well as the maids and wet nurses."

"The audience behind the screen was laughing so hard they were shaking with laughter. Can you imagine what the envoys from the Three Kingdoms must have been thinking at that moment?"

"The consequence of this, Your Majesty, was that the relationship between the Three Kingdoms and Qi took a sharp turn for the worse."

"Don't you think a cuckolded founder, comedy director, comedian, slut, psychopath, and treacherous villain like him deserves death?"

Everyone nodded after hearing this. It was said that Duke Zhuang of Qi and Cui Zhu both had the surname Jiang, and were descendants of Jiang Ziya.

Even the beautiful lady "Jizhi Syrup" has the last name Jiang.

I don’t know if there is any other kind of incest besides cuckoldry.

After receiving the secret report from the Linzi office, Zixuan felt sad and angry.

The sad thing is that little brother Jiang Guang was beaten to death with sticks.

What I hate is that Jiang Guang is so incompetent that he actually did so many shameful things. How could a king do this?

If Jiang Guangzhen was killed for other reasons, I might avenge him for the sake of our relationship as siblings.

But the way he died was too disgraceful, and I really couldn't do anything about it.

Well, let him die. Who told him to be so disrespectful?

Just as she was lamenting over Jiang Guang's death, Zixu and Ziye walked in.

When the two saw Zixuan, they immediately knelt down together. Zixu raised his head and looked at her: "Mother, Xu'er has something to ask you to do."

Zixuan waved his hand and said, "Get up. If you need help from me, just tell me directly. Why do you have to kneel down?"

The two did not stand up, and Zixu continued, "Mother, this is indeed a big deal."

"Ye'er and I have been in love since we were young. I came here today to ask mother to help us be together."

"What? You...how can you do this...you are brother and sister, isn't this incest?"

"Mother, Xu'er knows that we are both adopted orphans and have no blood relationship with each other."

"Mother, please be kind and let us get married."

"Don't worry, as long as you agree to our marriage, Ye'er and I will definitely treat you well."

"No! Who said you two aren't related by blood... Ah, that is, mother said that since you are siblings, you can't get married!"

Zixuan covered his mouth as he almost let something slip, and spoke stutteringly.

Zixu asked doubtfully, "Mother, weren't we adopted? How can we be siblings?"

"Xu'er, don't ask anymore. Mother won't agree with you two being together anyway!"

"Why! Why! Just because we are siblings in name only, we can't be together?"

"No reason, it's just not possible! Xu'er, stop talking! Mother is tired, please leave!"

After Zixuan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked towards his bedroom.

Zixu and Ziye looked at each other, their eyes full of loss.

After breakfast the next day, Peng Xi dressed herself up beautifully.

She planned to go to the palace to find Zixu to maintain their relationship, and it would be best to make it a fait accompli.

If it succeeds, Gongzi Xu will be the one who gets it.

The more she thought about it, the happier she became. She took her maid and hummed a little tune as she walked happily towards the palace.
