Forced love, an inescapable fate

Just as they arrived at the door of Qinghe Palace, the screams coming from inside made their hearts tremble. At that time, Jiang Ci had already taken the antidote and woke up.

When they rushed in, they saw two unrecognizable corpses thrown in the courtyard of Qinghe Palace. The one who screamed was Mu Qingli, who was holding his head with a terrified look on his face.

Four young eunuchs stood next to the two corpses, still cursing.

"How dare these two slaves from Jing Kingdom mess with the Third Prince's favorite concubine? I just asked them to wash a few clothes. They are so clumsy, they deserve to be beaten to death."

"That's right, they don't even see whose territory they are in now. They thought it was their Jing Kingdom."

"The Emperor of their Jing Kingdom is weak and incompetent. In order to preserve his own territory, he even sent his own son to our Qi Kingdom to be abused. But after tonight, that little hostage may not see the sun tomorrow. With the means of our Majesty, can his little body withstand it? But you said that Mu Qingli really did everything she could to protect herself. After all, they came from the Jing Kingdom and have lived in the same courtyard for the past three years. She actually sent that little hostage to the Majesty's bed together with the Third Prince. Tsk tsk, he is so young, but he has a vicious mind. Even if he can get down from our Majesty's dragon bed, his life will be ruined. I'm afraid he will never be able to be humane in the future. Last time, he was tormented by our Majesty..."

"Who told that guy to have such an androgynous face? He deserves it. You don't even know how he usually..."

......

Amidst the obscene words of several eunuchs, mixed with the truth of how Jiang Ci was sent to Emperor Qi's bed, Bai Yu's pupils suddenly locked tightly. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He didn't expect that it was Mu Qingli who did it.

Bai Yu supported someone while standing in the dark. He felt that Jiang Ci, who was supported by him, was trembling all over, but his eyes were fixed on the two bodies lying on the ground without a sound.

The eunuchs cursed and kicked the corpse on the ground before leaving.

"What bad luck! You couldn't even choose a good time to die. Today is your Majesty's birthday, and blood shouldn't be shed. Yet, you chose this time..."

Although Bai Yu really wanted to kill those people who spoke rudely and foul language, if he did so at this time, it would inevitably alert others. For the sake of the overall situation, he finally withdrew his killing intention.

However, just as the four people walked out of Qinghe Palace, Jiang Ci, who was trembling all over, spoke.

"You said you were sent to protect me and would obey my orders. Now I'm going to give you your first order."

Bai Yu nodded after hearing Jiang Ci's words, which he said with almost trembling teeth and with all his strength.

"Master, please give me your instructions."

"I will kill these four people with my own hands."

When he said these words, he looked up at Bai Yu. Bai Yu will never forget that look.

At that time, Jiang Ci's eyes were filled with intense sadness, deep hatred, and strong murderous intent. It was the first time that Bai Yu saw so many complex emotions in one person's eyes. He was about to refuse, but looking at Jiang Ci's gaze, he slowly nodded.

Jiang Ci was already standing unsteadily at that time and was completely relying on Bai Yu for support. Just after Bai Yu agreed, he struggled to stand on his own and took the dagger handed to him by Bai Yu with trembling hands.

In a hidden corner not far from Qinghe Palace, the four eunuchs had their mute points pressed and were looking at Jiang Ci who was walking towards them step by step with horror on their faces.

The child, who was less than ten years old, now had only strong murderous intent in his eyes. His hands were still shaking when he swung the dagger, but just as the dagger stabbed the four eunuchs, his hands slowly stopped shaking. Until the four eunuchs were chopped beyond recognition and died, Jiang Ci, who was covered in blood, used the dagger to support his body and slowly stood up with a trembling body. At this time, the sadness and murderous intent in his eyes were gone, and only calmness and indifference remained in his eyes. Seeing the four bodies lying on the ground, he slowly laughed, but that laughter was mixed with inexplicable sadness and sorrow.

Seeing him covered in blood and hearing the low laugh coming from his throat until his whole body was shaking with laughter, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell straight down and fell into a coma.

Bai Yu held Jiang Ci, who was covered in blood, and signaled the secret guards following behind him to dispose of the body. Then he took the man back with a complicated look in his eyes.

He knew that after tonight, the young master he was to protect would be reborn.

Bai Yu looked at the two people in the yard who seemed to have a harmonious relationship with a complicated look in his eyes.

I remember that when Jiang Ci woke up the next day, the second order he gave him was to kill Mu Qingli, but he kept in mind his second purpose of coming to the Qi Palace, which was to save Mu Qingli's life no matter what, because Feng Zong at that time had already created a world for himself at the border. Mu Qingli was the adopted daughter of the Feng family, and she had also been engaged to Feng Zong since she was a child. To establish a relationship with the Feng family and bring Mu Qingli back to Jing Kingdom safely was the best breakthrough, so Mu Qingli was spared.

Jiang Ci hated Mu Qingli because the maids Lu Zhu and Li Ma who accompanied Jiang Ci to Jing Kingdom were the closest people to his mother and had watched Jiang Ci grow up since he was a child. It was because of the existence of these two people that Jiang Ci spent three years safely in the cannibalistic Qi Kingdom Palace. But the cause of their death was also related to Mu Qingli. At that time, in order to please the Third Prince, Mu Qingli assigned the two people to the Third Prince's courtyard, but because they accidentally bumped into the Third Prince's favorite concubine, they gouged out their eyes, chopped off their hands, and were finally beaten to death. In addition to this reason, she also put sleeping pills in Jiang Ci's food, and together with the Third Prince, sent him to the dragon bed of the Emperor of Qi. These two reasons were enough to take her life.

But ever since Mu Qingli seduced the Third Prince and was beaten half to death, everyone thought she would not survive, but unexpectedly she survived. After waking up, she claimed to have lost her memory, and she seemed like a completely different person. Not only was she as good to Jiang Ci as a real sister, but even her temperament had changed drastically. At the beginning, Jiang Ci and Bai Yu thought she was pretending. She knew that Jing Guoyao was taking them back, and she was afraid that the fact that she had followed the Qi royal family to bully Jiang Ci in recent years for self-protection would be exposed. She was afraid of being retaliated by the general when she returned, so she pretended to have amnesia to show her goodwill. However, various signs later showed that Mu Qingli did seem to have lost her memory, but Bai Yu was a little confused about her behavior.

Feng Zong became more and more brave and invincible on the battlefield, and he had the upper hand in several battles with Qi. Seeing Feng Zong's great victory, Qi was frightened and took the initiative to propose a truce. Although Jing agreed, the prerequisite was that the Sixth Prince and Princess Qingli, who were sent to Qi as hostages six years ago, would be sent back to Jing. The time had been agreed later. According to their original plan, they would send the two back to Jing after attending Qi's autumn hunting banquet. But in the end, because of Mu Qingli's change, Jiang Ci also made changes to the original plan, which led to a series of events that happened later.
