My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

When Ji Yunshuang arrived with the group, the fruit in the field was ripe.

Oranges, pomelos, peaches, plums, cherries, pears...

All kinds of fruits from different seasons were hanging heavily on the branches.

Besides fruit, there were also plenty of chestnuts, walnuts, hazelnuts and other nuts, which filled the tree.

Various kinds of medicinal herbs, some flowering, some bearing fruit...

The group stared wide-eyed at the fairyland before them.

Lu Yinheng thought to himself, "Isn't this paradise? Isn't this the place everyone dreams of having?"

Lu Yanqi suddenly remembered that all the fruits Ji Yunshuang had found during their escape from famine came from this place!

Lu Yuzhu didn't think as much as her father and brother.

After her initial surprise, she exclaimed and ran towards a strawberry patch.

He kept making exclamations like, "Wow!", "So big!", "So red!", "So sweet!"

"Pick whatever you like!" Ji Yunshuang said to Lu Yinheng and Lu Yanqi before running off to pick strawberries.

Although she can now use her telekinesis to make strawberries fly into her mouth, sometimes picking them herself has a different kind of charm.

These strawberries were grown without pesticides, imbued with the scent of the 'merit tree'. They can be eaten directly without washing.

She picked one, put it in her mouth, and squinted her eyes happily.

I haven't felt this relaxed and happy in a long time.

Lu Yinheng and Lu Yanqi followed suit, imitating Ji Yunshuang by picking a strawberry and putting it in their mouths.

After picking strawberries, Lu Yinheng went to pick oranges and peaches...

He was curious about everything in this land. He discovered that ginseng, which was priceless and hard to find elsewhere, was as common as a radish here.

There is a large patch of ginseng in the field.

Moreover, any one of them that is randomly pulled out is hundreds of years old.

Besides ginseng, there are countless other rare and precious medicinal herbs...

Just as Ji Yunshuang was broadening her horizons and happily eating fruit with her father and son on the black soil, King Qi Jing and a group of ministers who had escaped were attacked by a monster.

Before encountering the multi-headed monsters, King Jing of Qi believed that his generals and soldiers were incompetent.

How come they can't even handle that?

But when he faced the monster in person, he nearly lost his life in its jaws.

Fortunately, soldiers risked their lives to protect the king, saving his life. All the methods they had devised to deal with the monster proved ineffective.

King Jing of Qi could only flee in a sorry state with his men.

Fortunately, there weren't many monsters attacking them, and in the end, the group managed to help him escape.

However, this monster attack caused him to lose a significant number of troops. Many ministers even abandoned their families and fled with King Qi Jing for their lives.

Having finally found a place to rest, everyone was both disheveled and dejected.

At this point, everyone lost confidence.

An old minister who had just lost his wife and children knelt on the ground, crying out to Heaven for its injustice and asking why the State of Qi had suffered such a calamity.

Some people even knelt on the ground, begging King Jing of Qi to set up an incense burner to offer sacrifices to Heaven and ask Heaven to bless the State of Qi.

King Jing of Qi was filled with not only anger but also deep disbelief. Just a few months ago, Qi was a powerful state that could easily crush its surrounding smaller nations.

He was also a monarch revered by thousands.

How did it suddenly become like this?

Just as he was questioning the meaning of life, a soldier with a blood-covered face ran towards them, shouting, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

King Jing of Qi came to his senses and looked at the soldier. The soldier's face was covered in blood, but his features were still vaguely discernible.

These are the soldiers he sent out to gather information a few days ago. Because they hadn't returned, everyone thought he was dead. They never expected him to be alive.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

The soldier said, "That Lady Ji has declared herself empress in Qiongdu! The ministers and soldiers who remained in Qiongdu all support her, honor her as a hero, and the people regard her as their savior."

She has now changed the name of her state, calling Qi "Da Qi." She also says that "Qi" represents a beginning. She says this is the starting point, and she will lead her people to a peaceful and prosperous life from now on.

The people also spontaneously called her the Divine Ruler, saying that she was a deity sent from heaven to earth to see them living in misery and to witness the cruelty of their ruler…

As he said this, he suddenly realized that in his haste he had blurted out everything. How could he say such things before the king?

But by this time, King Jing of Qi was already red-faced and furious.

Grand Tutor Li spoke up before King Jing of Qi could react, saying, "I knew it! It was that witch's doing! Sure enough!"

"She's got a brilliant plan! By using that monster, she not only easily breached our borders, but also won over the hearts and minds of the people. It's truly a top-notch scheme!"

King Qi Jing chuckled coldly a few times, then looked at the soldier who came to report the news and said, "Don't be afraid, just report the information you've gathered. I want to hear how those people are cursing me."

The soldiers dared not disobey the king's orders and could only report truthfully: "The people said that the king was unworthy to be a ruler and had angered the gods in heaven. Those monsters are punishment sent down by heaven..."

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became. King Jing of Qi was so angry he almost smoked a cigarette.

Grand Tutor Li lamented, “How foolish! How utterly foolish! How could these ignorant people be so stupid?”

That monster was a product of that sorceress's scheme against our Great Qi, deliberately placed there. They even call that sorceress a divine ruler—isn't that like recognizing a thief as your father?

The remaining ministers echoed their sentiments, cursing the people for their stupidity and Ji Yunshuang for her treacherous and vicious scheme, which allowed her to not only easily seize their capital but also win over the people and take over their country without firing a single shot.

King Qi Jing was too exhausted to curse at the moment. With a dark face, he stopped his ministers from continuing their tirade and said to the soldier, "Go on, is there any other news?"

The soldier dared not speak further about how the people were cursing King Qi Jing. He said, "Now that the Ji family has sent soldiers out of the city to kill the monster, it won't be long... before all the people of the country willingly respect her as their ruler."

Grand Tutor Li, his beard trembling, said, "Your Majesty, we must not let her plot succeed; we must expose her scheme!"

"Yes! We must expose her conspiracy!"

"Let everyone know the true face of that witch."

……

The ministers echoed their sentiments, determined not to let Ji Yunshuang's scheme succeed.

King Qi Jing suppressed his anger and calmly considered, "What do you think we should do to expose her conspiracy?"
