Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful
Chapter 75: Murder of the Princess and the General
After a while, Mrs. Cao brought a group of people and brought a table of sumptuous food.
She placed a plate of barbecue closest to the two of them and said with a smile, "Princess, General, come and taste this barbecue! This is a unique delicacy here that you can't find anywhere else." As she spoke, she picked up the serving chopsticks and enthusiastically picked up a piece for each of them.
Ziwei smiled as she looked at the white powder that had not yet melted on the piece of barbecue in front of her. She picked up the piece of meat with chopsticks without hesitation and put it in her mouth to chew.
She nodded with satisfaction and said to Mrs. Cao with a smile, "This meat is really delicious. Mrs. Cao really took the trouble. Fukang'an, you should try it too." The smile on her face did not change at all, and her eyes were fixed on Fukang'an with a firm look.
Seeing Ziwei like this, Fukangan tightened his chopsticks and picked up the meat without hesitation and put it into his mouth. He looked at Ziwei with love in his eyes and said softly, "It is indeed delicious."
Mrs. Cao was in a good mood when she saw the two of them so satisfied.
She smiled meaningfully and continued, "It's great that you two like it. Eat more. After you finish eating, you can have a good rest. The maids have already cleaned up the room. You can eat slowly. I will go and get busy first."
After she left, the two of them looked at each other with disgusted expressions, and simultaneously spat out the half-chewed food in their mouths.
Ziwei frowned and without hesitation used her chopsticks to push some of the food from the plates onto the ground. She then turned to look at Fukang'an. Fukang'an chuckled and used a spell to burn the food to ashes.
"Are you hungry? I have some dry food here. Would you like to eat some to fill your stomach first?" He said as he took out some dry food from his arms and handed it over.
However, Ziwei shook her head and refused, "Don't eat it. That idiot has prepared the hemp rope to tie us up. Let's cooperate with each other. I want to see what she wants to do."
After hearing what she said, Fukangan immediately understood and quickly released his mental power. Sure enough, he saw the woman leading a few servants and walking towards him with a rope in her hand.
Mental power is really useful! He sighed in his heart. It seems that he needs to develop the habit of releasing mental power frequently in the future. This way, many things will become much simpler.
When a figure appeared at the door, the two smiled at each other, and in tacit understanding, they lay down on the table at the same time and did not move, pretending to have fainted.
Mrs. Cao stood at the door and knocked gently, listening for any movement inside. Silence reigned. After confirming no one responded, she cautiously pushed the door open and stepped inside. Glancing at the food on the table, she noticed it was already halfway done. A sneer played at the corner of her mouth, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes.
She waved behind her, signaling two strong men to come forward. They quickly entered the room and tied up Ziwei and Fukang'an tightly. Ziwei and Fukang'an were still unconscious and unable to resist.
Madam Cao watched the scene unfold, her heart filled with a plea for revenge. She sneered and muttered to herself, "Hmph, what a bunch of lousy princesses and generals! You've all fallen into my hands. Even if you truly are a princess, so what? You dared to seduce me, master? You deserve death. You bitch, let's see how you can act so high and mighty in the future. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have returned to this hellish place, much less contracted this deadly smallpox. So, I'll send you off to hell!"
She turned to the two servants and ordered, "Hurry up! Haven't you eaten yet? Tie them up tighter! If they break free, we'll be the ones to lose our lives!"
As Madam Cao spoke, she stepped forward to help, ensuring that the ropes were tightly bound. Ziwei and Fukang'an were tied up and unable to move.
However, at that moment, Ziwei suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze clear and resolute. With a faint smile and a slight shift of her body, the rope, once tightly wrapped around her, slipped away easily and fell to the ground. Simultaneously, Fukang'an quickly broke free, nimbly drawing his sword and pointing it directly at Madam Cao.
Madam Cao and the two servants were horrified. They had never expected such a situation to occur. Their eyes widened in shock. Madam Cao muttered in disbelief, "How...how is this possible? It was tied so securely just now..."
"You think you can kill us? Who gave you the courage? Fish Leong? Then guess what will be the consequences of murdering the most favored princess and the most favored prince of the dynasty?" Ziwei raised the corners of her mouth with a disdainful smile. She put her hands behind her back and looked back and forth at Madam Cao in front of her.
Mrs. Cao has an ordinary appearance, without any outstanding features, but she has a dignified temperament in her every move. No wonder that corrupt official has so many concubines and has not shaken her position as a lady.
Madam Cao sneered, "You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!" Before she even decided to do this, she had already mentally prepared herself for the possibility of being killed if she failed. The servants who had followed her were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
Ziwei looked at them coldly, her heart completely unmoved. Then, with a wave of her hand, she ordered, "Tie Madam Cao up and lock her up in an empty room. Then, find some smallpox virus and inoculate her."
Madam Cao widened her eyes and screamed in horror: "No... Don't do this to me! You can kill me, but don't let me get infected with the smallpox virus! If I get smallpox, even if it can be cured, there will definitely be pockmarks on my face, and then the master will definitely never look at me again!" As she said that, she began to struggle desperately, but was held tightly by the servants and could not escape.
The contents of her head really opened Ziwei's eyes. She was so old, but she still cared so much about what men thought. She was really sick, but it was a pity that there was no doctor who could cure this disease.
At this time, Fu Kang'an suddenly interrupted and said, "Princess, Cao De is leading a large number of people towards this side, looking for trouble."
Before Ziwei could say anything, she heard Mrs. Cao's arrogant laughter, and she even laughed so hard that tears came out.
"Hahaha, let's see what you're going to do now. Your body and hair are from your parents, and you actually ordered that the bodies be destroyed to prevent them from reincarnating. This will incur the wrath of the people! A princess in the harem doesn't live a comfortable life in the palace, but actually comes here to seek death. Even if one of you is a princess and the other is a general, what does it matter? You will definitely die without a burial place."
Madam Cao's voice was sharp and piercing, full of provocation and ridicule. Ziwei's face darkened, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew she couldn't let herself be provoked at this moment and needed to stay sober to deal with the situation ahead.
Fukang'an frowned and felt a strong murderous intention towards Mrs. Cao.
