Mrs. Ji was shocked and frightened, and she actually revealed everything about what happened before.
It turned out that she had socialized with Marquis Cai when she first got married.
At that time, the wedding carriage had to pass through the Cai State from the State of Chen to the State of Xi.
Because Mrs. Cai and she were once good friends, Marquis Cai took the initiative to greet them outside the city and brought them to the palace to entertain them.
Seeing Marquis Cai's elegant demeanor, Mrs. Ji readily agreed to the invitation.
But at the banquet, Marquis Cai's behavior became frivolous. Not only did he avoid the people around him, but he also kept rubbing against Mrs. Ji and touching her.
Although nothing extreme happened, Mrs. Ji was all touched by Cai Hou.
Mrs. Ji left the meeting angrily and left Cai Guo with her people on the road that night.
She knew about this, and so did Gui Ji, but in order to prevent Xihou from reacting, the two sisters kept the matter secret.
In order to keep it secret, all those who knew it had been sent back to Chen State by them, so that no news was leaked.
Originally, Mrs. Ji wanted to bury this matter in her heart forever, but who would have thought that Marquis Cai would attack her again.
After hearing what Xi Gui said, Ji Hou was furious. He beat Cai Hou severely and threw him into prison. He planned to appease Mrs. Ji first and then deal with Cai Hou the next day.
He truly loved Mrs. Ji, and when he saw Mrs. Ji's appearance, he only felt heartbroken, and it was not like he was angry with his wife for things that had never happened.
But who would have thought that Cai Hou was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but in just one night, he was taken away from the prison by his rangers.
There was no way to settle the score with Cai Hou, and Ji Hou became furious. Then he thought that Chu State had always wanted to annex Cai State's land.
Therefore, he offered his advice to the Marquis of Chu, helped the Chu State to lure the Marquis of Cai to send troops, captured the Marquis of Cai alive, and forced the Marquis of Cai to cede his territory.
Marquis Cai was a man who had his heart set on the city. In the palace of the King of Chu, he not only agreed to the Marquis of Chu's request to cede land for redemption, but also made his grudges with Ji Marquis clear to the general of Chu State.
At the end, Cai Hou did not forget to describe Mrs. Ji as the only beauty in heaven and earth.
Marquis Cai claimed that he was temporarily deceived by Mrs. Ji's beauty, which is why he did such wrong things and caused this unnecessary disaster.
And he fanned the flames at the right time, praising such a beauty, which only a peerless hero like the Marquis of Chu could control.
Chu women have slender waists, but their color is not very good, so Chu Hou was full of expectations for the Lady Ji depicted by Cai Hou.
After putting Marquis Cai back, the Marquis of Chu felt itchy and unbearable the more he thought about it, so he wrote to Ji Hou and said that he would not go out to visit Xiguo to thank Ji Hou for his offer.
Jihou naturally accepted it happily and treated Chuhou as he had treated Caihou.
Maybe Ji Hou's horoscope is not suitable for the banquet.
During the banquet, the Marquis of Chu suddenly had an attack. Not only did he suddenly take action and seriously injured the unsuspecting Marquis Ji, but he also successfully snatched away Mrs. Ji.
Ji Hou fought hard and saved his life. He drove the Chu soldiers out of the palace and sealed the city gate.
In the next few days, Ji Hou went into battle despite being wounded and led his soldiers to resist the pressing Chu army.
However, because the Chu State's military strength was too strong, Xi State was destroyed in just seven days, and all its people became slaves.
Ji Hou died in the battle, but before his death, he did not forget his confidants and sent Gui Ji back to Chen Kingdom through the secret passage of the palace.
At the King of Chu's banquet, Concubine Gui was unable to attend because of the cold. Until now, she is lingering on the bed, so she does not know what happened in Xiguo.
When she was roughly dragged into the secret passage by her henchman, Gui Ji felt a little confused.
Then he saw Ji Hou's confidants driving the calf all the way, running very fast and throwing her back to Chen Guo's palace, and then leaving without looking back.
Gui Ji felt that she had finally been abandoned by Ji Hou, and was tragically sent back to her parents' home.
Seeing Gui Ji in tears, Guihou and his wife thought that their daughter already knew about the collapse of the Xi Kingdom, so they stopped irritating her. They were just worried about their eldest daughter's unlucky fate and the tragic death of her son-in-law. And sad.
Who knows if the eldest daughter might do something wrong in the palace of the King of Chu, which would cause Chen Guo to be angered by the King of Chu.
With no one to care about her, Concubine lived a life behind closed doors and never left the palace.
Except for Sasu's slaves, outsiders rarely see her.
She was like a ghost living alone in a corner of the palace, her presence even lower than before she got married.
Thanks to the lagging communication, news of Xihou's death never spread in the palace.
It was not until three years later that the Chu palace sent news that Xi Gui had given birth to a son for the King of Chu.
Only then did the slaves in the palace realize that the second young master was sent back not because of Ji Hou's displeasure and that Xiguo was gone.
The King of Chen's palace celebrated the birth of Xi Gui's son for ten days and ten nights.
Guihou didn't care who her daughter married, and even felt a little embarrassed. It was much better to marry Chuhou as his concubine than to marry Xihou as his wife.
The Marquis of Chu was a big country, so it was a great blessing for Chen State that his daughter could give birth to a son for him.
If I had known that the King of Chu liked Xi Gui so much, I should have directly married the Chu State in the first place, and there is no doubt that I would have gotten more benefits.
The celebration was so loud that even Concubine Ji, who had lived in the palace for a long time, heard the sound of celebrations outside.
After Gui Ji learned the news about Xi Guo from the slaves who came in to clean her house, she was struck like a thunderbolt. It turned out that the man she had hated so much all these years had died so early.
And before dying, he did not forget to leave a way for her to live...
Despaired, Concubine drove her cart back to the original territory of Xiguo alone.
In order to prove that he has a broad heart, the Marquis of Chu built a tomb for Ji Marquis at the place of rest.
Seeing the place where things and people have changed, Gui Ji took out the rope and killed herself in front of Ji Hou's tomb.
Gui Ji's soul floated very high and far away. She didn't know why she didn't disappear between heaven and earth, and she didn't know why her soul didn't return to the underworld.
But she saw a lot of things. She saw her body being picked from the tree and sent back to Chen Guo.
Seeing that her parents did not take her death to heart, but tried their best to hide the matter to prevent Chu Hou from thinking that her sister's child was unknown.
I saw my unhappy sister in Chu Palace without saying a word, weeping for Ji Hou every night.
I also saw hungry people digging up Jihou's grave when faced with natural disasters, taking out the burial objects inside and exposing Jihou's bones to the wilderness.
Gui Ji thought she was in her parents' heart, but their parents didn't take her to heart.
Guiji thought her sister was happy, but her sister's happiness was buried under misfortune.
Gui Ji thought that Ji Hou didn't care about her, but at the last moment Ji Hou saved her.
This information refreshes Gui Ji's understanding of the world, and Gui Ji wants to change everything.
Seeing Gui Ji's wish, Jin Qing felt that his teeth started to hurt again.
