In the wooden cage at the stern of the boat, Qiu Ji huddled in the corner with her arms crossed, she looked up at the cage through the railing, her blood-stained face and a pair of godless eyes full of fear and confusion.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The sound of very regular footsteps slowly approaching, and the sound of boots hitting the planks made Akihime ecstatic.

She moved to the bronze pole with some difficulty, and her little hands grabbed the cold railing and tried to reach out, listening to the footsteps, her eyes were full of anticipation and anticipation as she looked at the almost invisible dark figure, and a layer of tears appeared in her eyes with excitement.

She finally arrived, the king came, he did not abandon her, did not live up to her expectations, he came, because he still remembered her, so he came!

Thinking of this, Qiu Ji's eyes were full of divine light, and she looked at Gongzi Cheng approaching with admiration and affection, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and her appearance became more and more aggrieved.

She's going out, she's going to get out of this cage, Jing Yu, when she gets out, she must think of a way to let her die thoroughly!

Qiu Ji lowered her eyes, hiding the cold in her eyes, and when she looked up again, her eyes were already filled with infinite joy, crystal tears were contained in her eyes, and she wanted to fall without falling, those eyes were completely fascinating.

If it is in normal times, such a Qiu Ji can be said to be beautiful and charming, but today's Qiu Ji, who originally lost her color all the way, has been locked up for two days, and her body is already dirty, and the blood color of the beating stains on her dress is everywhere, and her hair and temples are scattered, like a crazy woman.

"The king's ......" Qiu Ji's little face was squeezed between the railings, and the mud and blood stains completely ruined the originally beautiful face, and she called Gongzi Cheng expectantly and emotionally, as if he was her sky, her king, and her everything.

Gongzicheng stood three steps away from Qiu Ji and looked at her quietly, his dark eyes without any emotion, as cold as black ice crystals.

"Your Majesty. Qiu Ji stretched out her hand, waving and grabbing the corner of his dark robe that was lifted by the autumn wind, and gently tugging at the corner of the robe, she looked up her little face expectantly and happily. "Qiu Ji has finally waited for you, the king ......"

Slowly lowering his eyes, Gongzi Cheng looked down at Qiu Ji coldly, and said in a deep voice. "Akihime. ”

"Yes, Qiu Ji is here, Your Majesty, you can still remember Qiu Ji, Qiu Ji died without regrets. Qiu Ji's eyes were full of gratitude, and she looked at Gongzicheng in front of her, tears streaming down her eyes.

"You don't have to make a show, what does the Empress Dowager Liang want you to do, come one by one, and you will be exempted from capital crimes. Gongzi Cheng stared at Qiu Ji in the wooden cage lightly, the cold voice was like Sanjiu cold ice, there was a sound on the ground, Qiu Ji who was crying was stunned, his hand was loosened, and the robe in his hand floated again with the river wind, rumbling, like a cloud.

"King, king, Qiu Ji, Qiu Ji doesn't know why the king is saying this, I ......" Qiu Ji put away her tears and lowered her head, her eyes rolled wildly, and she panicked.

"In the past, you were used by King Liang, entered my house as a person, and then followed Gongzi Pi, and now you are working for the Empress Dowager Liang. Gongzi Cheng pointed out Qiu Ji's old master and new master one by one, and Qiu Ji's face turned pale when he heard it, and he sat in the cage with trembling lips, and Gongzi Cheng stared at her lightly and said coldly. "The military situation in my house, in the past ten years, you have leaked a total of 71 major events, and reported 7,347 trivial matters, Qiu Ji, the wealth of your Xing family came from here. ”

"I'm ......" Qiu Ji's eyes widened, and she looked up at Gongzi Cheng in disbelief, her eyes full of horror.

"Qiu Ji, I used to think that you were a little sincere, so I indulged you, and now, you and the Liang royal family deceived me together, what crime should I be guilty of?" Gongzi Cheng said very slowly, he looked at Qiu Ji with a dead face, and waited quietly for her to speak.

Qiu Ji covered her heart, trembling for a while before she could barely calm down, her trembling hands tightly grasped the collar, and suddenly smiled dumbly.

"Hehe, the king said that I deceived you. Qiu Ji shook her head lightly and choked up. "Do you know how I protect you?"

Qiu Ji raised her head and looked at Gongzi Cheng, who had an indifferent face, and her heart ached.

"Yes, when I entered the palace that day, it was my brother who sent me to go, and the king of Liang promised me the position of my brother Changshi, and my brother begged me to run to the king in order to seek an official, and I was very admiring to the king at that time, and I accepted him immediately. After entering the Qi land, I did everything I could to hide it for the king, but unfortunately, I counted all the beauties on the king's side, but I miscalculated the Jing family!"

Speaking of Ye Ziyi, Qiu Ji's eyes were full of hatred, and she gritted her teeth. "If it weren't for her, the king and I wouldn't see each other like we do today!"

"Qiu Ji, do you think it's Ziyi's fault?" Gongzi Cheng raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and said lightly. "In the sixteenth year of Tiankang, you privately gave the army to report to the king of Liang, until I lost a thousand soldiers, the battle of Weicheng, because of you, almost defeated, if I didn't lead the remnants to fight to the death, I think I wouldn't have chatted with you here. ”

Qiu Ji was dumbfounded, and she leaned weakly against the cold railing, shivering all over.

"When the Jing family entered the mansion, you instigated her to enter my mother's mourning hall, and before you made someone destroy my mother's tablet, Qiu Ji, is this your business?" Gongzi Cheng lowered his eyes coldly, looked at Qiu Ji who was shrunk into a ball in the cage, and said lightly. "Qiu Ji, you have never really loved me, your heart is yourself. ”

"No...... No, it's not like that!!" Qiu Ji shook her head violently, turned around and clutched the railing tightly, staring at Childe Cheng hatefully. "It's the king, it's the king who bears me! How many beauties are there in the prince's mansion? The king favors them, but he never spoils me! I betray the family for you, I plan for you, I do this for you, why don't you treat me sincerely! Why have you been close to all of them, but you have never been close to me?!"

Gongzi Cheng looked at her indifferently, with a hint of invisible pity in his eyes. "Qiu Ji, except for Ziyi, I have never pampered anyone, and neither do you. ”

"What......" Akihime's eyes widened, her lips trembled, and she shook her head. "No, I don't believe it, they ...... it"

"Qiu Ji, if you calculate others, you will be calculated by others. Gongzi Cheng looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice. "This time, the Empress Dowager of Liang Guo brought you close to me, is it for assassination?"

Qiu Ji in the wooden cage gasped, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound.

Staring at the super-complexioned man in front of her in horror, she suddenly found that she was like a clown jumping off the beam, her every move was under his nose, and nothing could escape his eyes.

"Empress Dowager Daliang, I can't control my ambitions anymore, Qiu Ji, I won't kill you, do you know why?" Gongzi's light appearance made Qiu Ji shiver fiercely.

"King, king......" Qiu Ji shrank her head in a trembling manner, not daring to look into his eyes again.

"I will send you back to Liangdi, and send you to the court of Daliang for the crime of assassinating the Queen Mother of Qi Pan, and see what she does with you. Gongzi Cheng said, and no longer paid attention to the frightened and frightened Qiu Ji in the cage, and turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that Gongzi Cheng was leaving, Qiu Ji panicked even more, she grabbed the cage, waved her dirty sleeves, and shouted in a dumb voice. "Your Majesty! You can't do this! Qiu Ji treats you sincerely! I am sincere! I, I am wrong! Qiu Ji is wrong! Your Majesty! You let Qiu Ji go! For the sake of many years of waiting, let Qiu Ji live!"

Gongzicheng slowed down, turned his head sideways and said lightly. "Qiu Ji, you said that you treat me sincerely, but your sincerity has never been true. ”

Walking away from the wooden cage with an indifferent expression, Gongzi Cheng walked by his right side and glanced at him. "If you reveal half a sentence to Mrs. about the matter, you will apologize for the crime with death. ”

Fu Yilin, who was watching the show, hurriedly bowed his hand and replied very solemnly. "Minister, don't dare!"

Gongzi Cheng lowered his eyes, didn't say much, and walked slowly towards the cabin at the bow of the ship, never looking back.

Fu right looked back at the wooden cage, sighed lightly and shook his head, he straightened the saber at his waist, strode behind Gongzi Cheng, looked at the cabin where Ye Ziyi was on the bow and raised his eyebrows, there was a little expectation in his eyes, and a little schadenfreude that he couldn't help but gloat.

The river breeze blew through the watery air, swept through Childe's jet-black emanation, and hit the stern of the boat, Akihime's tearful face.

"Your Majesty, do you really want Qiu Ji's life? I want to disobey the decree and not kill you, but you want my life? Heh, the people around you, when did you regard me as the person around you? Only Jing Wei, all these years, you only have the slut of the Jing family in your eyes! Now you are using this to trick me, hehe, you will believe your words when I am Jing Yu's stupid aunt?"

Qiu Ji gritted her teeth, her hands in her sleeves and her nails embedded in the flesh, she trembled and hugged her legs, looking at the dim darkness blocked by the wooden planks in front of her, her eyes showing a grim color.

"I won't let you go, Jiang Cheng, I won't let you go, you and Jing Yu, I won't let you go if I do ghosts!"

"Whew-woo-"

A strong river breeze blew, which startled Akihime, and she turned her head in horror, looked around, and saw that there was no one else, so she hugged her knees uncertainly, and her eyes fluttered.

"No, I can't die, I can't die now, I have to escape, I have to escape! I want the Queen Mother to deal with them! Yes! I want to go back to Daliang, I have to go back to Daliang, I can't let him dispose of me, I have to go back!"

Akihime groped for a while in her messy hair, pulling out the golden hairpin hidden in her hair.

Looking at the golden hairpin, a hint of madness appeared in Qiu Ji's eyes, and she stroked the hairpin repeatedly and muttered. "O king, I shall pierce it into thy throat and dye it red with thy blood, and it shall be magnificent, hehe......"

Qiu Ji smiled stupidly, put the hairpin close to her chest, and whispered. "I'll let it drink your blood well, king, son, you are Qiu Ji's, I want to die, I will not let you live in the world again, hehe, hahahahaha......"

The crazy laughter stirred up a string of echoes in the cage, and Akihime laughed, the laughter was terrible, like a madness, and it made people shudder.

At the stern of the boat, a small guy poked his head out from behind the cabin at the stern, he looked at Gongzi Cheng who was far away, and then at Qiu Ji, who was still laughing miserably in the cage, turned around, and ran towards the cabin at the bow of the ship from the other end.
