The second day.

The news of the attack on King Jin was not revealed. Instead, the King of Chu, who was hosting a banquet today, was suddenly attacked for some reason.

Liu Qiqi listened to the gossip coming from the system and thought that King Chu's face should be very ugly at this moment.

The King of Chu was hosting a banquet, and the people who were invited had known about it for a long time. It would be too embarrassing to cause such an incident at this time.

After eating, she took a walk in the yard in a good mood. As she walked, she took Chunbi to the street.

Chunbi didn't want to say anything about his wife's move.

Liu Qiqi walked on the street and greeted everyone around her enthusiastically.

A young man who was buying candied haws saw Liu Qiqi and ran over calling "sister", but was grabbed by the maid next to him.

This movement attracted Liu Qiqi's attention. She only glanced at it, said nothing, and continued walking forward.

Chunbi was unhappy when she saw it.

"Miss, look!"

"Let's go to the market, otherwise all the new things will be bought up by others." Liu Qiqi saved the child because the system reminded her and because she couldn't bear to lose a child's life within the scope of her abilities. What would others do?

See, she doesn't really care.

All the way to the market, the first stop was Brother Liu’s butcher shop.

"Brother Liu, give me five pounds of pork belly."

Brother Liu grinned and took the knife, "Are you going to make fat residue this time?" The fat residue I ate last time still feels delicious in my mouth.

"No, I will fry it and eat it today."

"Eat it fried?" Brother Liu is a meat seller. Since having Liu Qiqi as a customer, he has been eye-opened by the various ways to eat it.

Liu Qiqi didn't hide her secrets. She told her how to fry pork belly, and soon a group of people gathered around her. Brother Liu's meat had been sold out early, so Liu Qiqi spent half of the money to buy five kilograms of pork belly.

Chunbi saw his wife's happy look and stretched her face behind her.

If she was so determined to please King Jin, she would have become Princess Jin long ago.

Liu Qiqi happily bought the vegetables she wanted. When she walked back, she saw Chun Bila's long face. She stretched out her hand and scratched Chun Bi's lips, "Look at you, you're dripping with oil."

"lady--"

"Okay, okay, I get it."

"I know, but you still do it?"

"I..." Liu Qiqi looked at Chunbi who couldn't explain, knowing that she had little experience. In her eyes, gaining the favor of King Jin was the only way out. In Liu Qiqi's eyes, it was not as important as eating.

Just as they were about to preach, a harsh sound not far away attracted their attention.

When they looked over, they saw a lady wearing gold and silver, grabbing a young woman by her hair and pushing her directly to the ground.

Several maids nearby came forward and beat the young woman to the ground, punching and kicking her.

The lady kicked the young woman arrogantly, "You bitch, you dare to seduce the master. I will show you today what the rules are."

The woman who was beaten didn't even have the strength to fight back, so she could only let the beating go.

Stop when someone gets tired.

"Remember this, this is what you get for seducing the master. If you do it next time, I will take off your clothes and throw you into a brothel."

The woman seemed to be frightened. She got up and knelt in front of the lady, explaining, "Madam, you really misunderstood. Things are not what you think."

The lady snorted, "Why didn't you say that when you took off your clothes and climbed into bed?"

When everyone around heard this, they all pointed at the young woman who was beaten.

Liu Qiqi stood not far away and watched the scene in front of her. In her opinion, noble ladies were cruel enough, and they could casually say such insulting words as slut, seductress, and brothel.

Just as Liu Qiqi was about to step forward to seek justice, she accidentally saw the sneer on the lips of the young woman kneeling on the ground.

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came to my ears, "Humph, I thought it was my wife who could suppress me, so I didn't even look in the mirror to see how ugly I am! If it weren't for these jewelry suppressing me, you still have the nerve to show up."

This is the voice of the young woman.

Liu Qiqi wanted to step forward to help, but after hearing this, she turned and left.

I just walked a few steps and passed by someone walking next to me.

Her steps instantly stabilized.

Zhao Kai.

The personal bodyguard of King Jin.

He changed his clothes, but Liu Qiqi, who was naturally sensitive, noticed it.

When Chunbi also wanted to take a look, Liu Qiqi pulled her away.

After walking a certain distance, she looked back and saw that Zhao Kai walked towards the bullied young woman and extended a helping hand.

Chunbi paid special attention to the people around King Jin, and she also noticed something was wrong. When she was about to speak, Liu Qiqi stopped her with a word.

"If you don't want to die, don't say anything!"

Chunbi's cultivation level was too low, so she returned to Prince Jin's Mansion in silence.

The two returned to Jinyuyuan.

Liu Qiqi and Chunbi got busy in the small kitchen.

The ingredients she bought were ready, but Chunbi hadn't calmed down yet.

Just at this moment, Zhao Kai suddenly arrived, and Chunbi fell to the ground in fright.

Liu Qiqi pretended that nothing happened and looked at Zhao Kai, "Guard Zhao, what's the matter?"

Zhao Kai looked at Liu Qiqi and brought a wooden box to him, "Madam, this is given to you by the prince."

Liu Qiqi understood that she could recognize Zhao Kai. Zhao Kai recognized her at the time, but because the matter was taboo, he did not deal with her on the spot. These things were hush money.

In front of Zhao Kai, she opened it and saw a set of jewelry inside. She said with a smile on her face, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift."

Zhao Kai glanced at Chunbi, said nothing, turned and left.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Liu Qiqi kicked Chunbi, "I blame you. You must have been talking about how other princesses looked like yesterday and wore all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. This time, the prince also sent them."

"Husband...Madam, does the prince know?"

Liu Qiqi secretly felt bad and quickly interrupted, "The entire Jin Palace belongs to the prince. Do you think the prince will not know that we are talking in Jinyuyuan?"

Chunbi finally calmed down and covered her mouth to prevent herself from making any sound.

Liu Qiqi heard the footsteps outside and walked away. She helped Chunbi stand up and said, "If you don't want to die, just forget about that incident." It must be that King Jin has something to do.

How others compete for power and favor has little to do with her.

To put it bluntly, who becomes the emperor has nothing to do with me. In this life, I have no destiny to be the emperor!
