Transmigrated Female Official

The Sixth Princess initially thought that the false information she had deliberately spread earlier had no effect, but upon seeing Ji Qili's face, she suddenly realized the truth.

It's obvious that two groups are trying to sabotage me.

On one side, her fourth sister was desperately trying to collude with the princess of Yuezhi Kingdom to hire someone to assassinate her across borders; on the other side, her eighth sister was ambushing her at her doorstep and even planning to stage a carriage falling into the river so that she would die without leaving a trace.

In her memory, her fourth sister was always ruthless, while her eighth sister, though domineering, was not so cruel. But now it seems that, driven by the lust for power, she has finally grown sharp, man-eating fangs.

"...They are all more vicious than the last," the Sixth Princess said coldly.

"Sixth Sister, this is not my fault," Ji Qili said. "I originally just wanted you and Seventh Brother to leave easily, but unfortunately, it was ruined. So now, you can only disappear in pain."

"Ji Qili, are you insane?! You actually want to murder your own brother and sister!" Chu Qingluo's eyes blazed with fury as she glared at Ji Qili's vicious face.

“Yes, you’re right! But you’ve overlooked one thing…” Ji Qili gave her a cold smile and said, “That includes you.” After saying that, he changed his tone and said in a relaxed tone, “Of course, if you are willing to get rid of them now and be with me, it’s still not too late.”

"This is absolutely outrageous!" Chu Qingluo made no attempt to hide her contempt for him, declaring resolutely, "I will never be with scum!"

"Ha! I gave you so many chances, and you still chose the wrong one in the end." Ji Qili revealed an extremely twisted smile and shouted, "Scum? I'm like this now, isn't it all your fault?!"

He was struck by the thought that he had transformed from a widely praised, elegant prince into a despised and shameful figure who brought disgrace to the royal family…

He was furious!

"You ganged up on me one by one, even causing me to be abandoned by the Emperor. Do you think I'll just let this go?!" His eyes were now glazed over, as if he were possessed.

"That's all because Fifth Brother did evil deeds first; he can't blame anyone else!" Ji Qiran said incisively. "Since ancient times, good and evil have always been rewarded accordingly!"

"Seventh Brother..." Ji Qili glanced at him sideways and said in a low voice, "So what if you're the most handsome man in Yancheng? Since you went to Yuezhi, why didn't you just stay there? Why did you have to come back to die? I will make you, like the fallen leaves and dust on this ground, swallowed by the bottomless river." He paused, then added fiercely, "The rest of you will all die too. This is what you mean by 'good and evil will be rewarded in the end'!"

Judging from Ji Qili's ruthless words, he was determined to make them all perish at the bottom of the Ram River today. Moreover, the current situation was extremely unfavorable for them; even if they fought to the death, without reinforcements, they would likely not escape their fate.

Having barely escaped death, no one wanted to give up. Therefore, the Sixth Princess tried to communicate with Ji Qili in another way.

"Fifth Brother, calm down. Think about it carefully. Even if we were all eliminated, it wouldn't do you much good." She continued to urge, "What Eighth Sister promised you, I can give you too, even more."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qili chuckled and asked, "What if I said that I am irreconcilably opposed to my seventh brother? Would you be willing to give him up?"

Ji Qili had disliked Ji Qiran since childhood. In addition, Ji Qiran ruined his carefully planned good time with Chu Qingluo and forced him to lose face by entering the sect... This grudge had been formed long ago!

The Sixth Princess frowned slightly, glanced at Ji Qiran, and then asked, "...What constitutes giving up?"

“Simple,” Ji Qili said. “Kill him with your own hands now and throw him into the Ram River, and I can consider cooperating with Sixth Sister.” After saying that, he remembered something and continued, “Ah—, I almost forgot, along with this man…” He pointed to Gongsun Yu and said, “You must also get rid of him, and Chu Qingluo, you can leave her to me.”

"..." The Sixth Princess remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

Seeing a hint of disappointment flash in Ji Qiran's eyes, Chu Qinglu shouted at Ji Qili, "Princess Anyang will absolutely not agree! Just give up on that idea!"

Ji Qili gave a mocking smile and said, "You are not her, how would you know what she is thinking? You should know that members of the royal family will sacrifice anything for their lives and power."

Do you think everyone is like you?!

Chu Qingluo wasn't unaware of this, she simply didn't believe it. She couldn't believe that the bond between the Sixth Princess and Ji Qiran, who had grown up together, could be defeated by so-called power!

"Oh? Then I'd like to see just how noble Sixth Sister really is!" Ji Qili pretended to be full of admiration and then fixed his gaze back on the Sixth Princess.

The situation suddenly became tense, and the Sixth Princess slowly said, "Fifth Brother, please allow me to think about it for a while."

As soon as she spoke, Ji Qiran turned his head away, covering his wound, and refused to look at her again.

At this moment, Zhi Jun's expression was extremely complicated. He really couldn't figure out what the Sixth Princess was hesitating about. He leaned closer and whispered a reminder: "An Yang, you must not be fooled by this person! Every word he says is unreliable..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Sixth Princess gritted her teeth and muttered, "I understand!"

Only then did Zhi Jun realize that the Sixth Princess's claim of needing to consider the matter was merely a delaying tactic.

"Sixth Sister, you're not stalling for time, are you?" Ji Qili stared intently at the Sixth Princess's face and suddenly spoke up.

The Sixth Princess smiled slightly and calmly said, "Fifth Brother is joking. Of course, I have to weigh such an important matter."

"How long are you going to weigh this?" Ji Qili seemed a little impatient.

The sixth princess replied, "Three incense sticks will suffice."

"Impossible!" Ji Qili's face, which had been flustered, showed a hint of impatience. He urged, "I'll wait for you for half an incense stick's time. Once the time is up, make your move immediately."

"..." The Sixth Princess had no choice but to pray that the Empress would send reinforcements to rescue them, as they were already close to this predicament...

The time it takes to burn half an incense stick is surprisingly short.

It felt like only a blink of an eye when Ji Qili spoke again: "Sixth Sister, have you made up your mind?" As he spoke, his longsword was already drawn.

Seeing that she could no longer contain herself, the Sixth Princess sighed deeply, drew her Seven Star Sword, pointed it at Ji Qili, and shouted, "If Heaven does not forsake me today, I will surely use your blood to offer as a sacrifice to Heaven!"

These words were spoken with great force and momentum.

Zhi Jun quickly drew his sword and shouted, "Brothers, let's fight our way out!" With that, he took the lead and swung his sword at the assassin.

Encouraged by this, the guards drew their swords and charged toward the assassins!

Ji Qili, realizing he had been tricked, was so enraged that the veins on his forehead seemed about to burst. "You've courted death!" he roared, and the assassins swarmed forward!
