Jing Ci and Zhang Chao looked depressed and were silent for a long time.
At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of Jing Ci. When he saw this person, Jing Ci's face instantly fell.
"You still have the nerve to come see me?" Jing Ci's eyes were cold and she scolded in a sweet voice.
Facing Jing Ci's scolding, although Qiya felt extremely uncomfortable, she still walked over bravely.
Although at this moment, the former master has been reduced to a prisoner, and Qiya has embraced her, with an unlimited future, and her status has been completely changed, but Qiya did not show off at all. On the contrary, she was filled with guilt for her old master. .
Qiya and Jingci are not just as simple as a master-servant relationship, they are as close as sisters.
Betraying Jingci was even more uncomfortable for Qiya than killing her.
But there are always too many things in this world that are beyond your control. You will either drift with the crowd or die without a burial place.
Facing her former master, Qiya's mouth revealed a bitter arc.
"your Highness……"
Almost as soon as Qiya opened her mouth, she was coldly interrupted by Jing Ci.
"Don't call me Your Highness! Now, I am already a prisoner, and you are the celebrity around Qin Feng. In terms of status, I can only be manipulated and trampled on by you."
"Qiya, the friendship between you and me ends here!"
"From now on, you take your Yangguan Road and I cross my single-plank bridge. You and I don't owe each other anything."
Seeing Jing Ci's decisive expression, Qiya's heart was as sharp as a knife. If she hadn't been forced to do so, how could she betray Jing Ci without her conscience?
Jing Ci ignored Qi Ya, flicked her long sleeves, and turned around.
At this moment, Jing Ci heard a muffled sound behind her, and then noticed that Zhang Chao's eyes changed slightly. She glanced back from the corner of her eye and was surprised to find that Qiya was already kneeling on her knees, with tears on her face.
Qiya did not hide the grief in her heart and sobbed: "Your Highness, all this happened today is my own fault. I don't blame anyone. If you want to blame, just blame yourself for your lack of will."
"I dare not ask for forgiveness from Your Highness, the Princess. Even if I can no longer be by Your Highness's side in this life, I still deserve it."
"I just want to tell His Highness that betraying you is definitely not what I want. But if there is a way out, I will never choose to betray you."
Seeing Qiya crying and crying, Jing Ci felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
After all, Jing Ci has always regarded Qiya as her sister. Otherwise, Jing Ci would not be so heartbroken when he learned that Qiya had betrayed him.
From the regret shown in Qiya's eyes, it can be seen that Qiya's true feelings at this moment are not pretending.
Considering Qin Feng's methods, Jing Ci had already vaguely realized that Qiya must have fallen into Qin Feng's trap and was coerced before she had to make this choice.
But Jingci still couldn't forgive Qiya easily, so she snorted and said nothing.
Qiya lowered her head, melancholy and plaintively, and said to herself: "Your Highness, there is nothing you can do now. Only by cooperating with Qin Feng can you have a chance of survival."
"I don't want to see His Highness behind bars, so I beg Your Highness..."
Before Qiya could finish speaking, Jing Ci couldn't help but interrupt sharply: "What, you want me to betray Dadi and the people of the world? I'm dreaming!"
Qiya shook her head repeatedly and cried in defense: "Your Highness, I never want you to be a traitor, but the reality is already in front of you. Even if you die, what's the point?"
"If His Highness cooperates with Qin Feng, it will naturally benefit the people of the world. Isn't it what His Highness wants to see the people live and work in peace and contentment?"
Jing Ci laughed out of anger. She turned around and looked at Qiya coldly.
"Live and work in peace and contentment? What a big joke. Now everything in Dadi is in ruins and the people are hungry. Who is responsible for all this? It's not Qin Feng!"
"If Qin Feng hadn't launched the Winter War, how could the thousands of people in my country have ended up like this?"
"Even the people of Changshui County are involved in the war. Can't you see these bloody realities? Even if I die, I will never succumb to Qin Feng."
Jing Ci's attitude was extremely firm and there was no room for negotiation at all.
Just when Qiya was heartbroken and about to give up, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the direction of the courtyard gate.
In an instant, the three people on the scene looked towards the courtyard door in unison, and saw a woman wearing a long blue dress walking in with light steps.
Of course, Jing Ci and Zhang Chao did not know the woman in front of them, but Qiya had seen this woman when she reported the news to Liu Ming, so she knew that she was Qin Feng's eldest sister and the eldest daughter of Qin.
Jing Ci looked at the strange woman in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and said in a bad tone: "Who are you?"
Shen Qingci didn't answer, and just came with light steps.
Qiya was afraid that Jing Ci would offend Shen Qingci, so she quickly reminded her in a low voice: "Your Highness, this girl is Qin Feng's eldest sister, Shen Qingci."
Hearing this, Jing Ci's heart sank. She had long heard that Qin Feng had four sworn sisters, but so far, she had never seen any of them.
Seeing Shen Qingci suddenly, Jing Ci couldn't help but be caught off guard. However, as a princess, even though she had been reduced to a prisoner, Jing Ci still stood proudly without any fear at all.
Shen Qingci came to the stone table and sat down, looking at Jing Ci calmly. After a moment, she slowly spoke.
"Your Highness, don't be nervous. I just happened to pass by and heard the conversation in the yard, so I couldn't help but come in and take a look."
"You just said that the tragic situation of the people in your country is all caused by the wind?"
"Then I would like to ask Your Highness, was it the wind that caused your country to launch troops against Daliang?"
Realizing that Shen Qing's resignation was unkind, Jing Ci was not to be outdone, and immediately retorted: "A national war is a national war, and a winter war is a winter war. How can they be confused?"
Hearing this, Shen Qingci couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness is so naive."
"In your opinion, the Winter War and the National War are not the same war?"
Jing Ci frowned slightly: "Of course not! The two wars were separated by nearly half a year."
Shen Qingci couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It seems that Feng'er is right. Although His Highness loves the people like a son, his character is too naive and simple, and he has no idea of the dangers in the world."
"To paraphrase Feng'er, His Highness takes everything for granted."
"You always use the greatest kindness to speculate on the greatest malice in the world. In this case, if you are not hurt, who will be hurt?"
Jing Ci's frown deepened, and he stared at Shen Qingci. He didn't understand what Shen Qingci wanted to do, and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean?"
