Chapter 367: One Woman Dominates Two Husbands
At dawn, the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window lattice into the Khitan residence in Jinyang City.
Yelü Zhigu woke up from his sleep and, as was his habit, went to the bronze mirror to tidy his appearance.
However, when she looked up at the mirror, she was instantly stunned—her reflection in the mirror...
Her once jet-black, lustrous hair had turned gray.
Her once delicate face aged rapidly, becoming haggard like that of a woman in her forties.
"What...what's going on?"
Yelü Zhigu was terrified and took several steps back. He then reached out his hand again, trembling, to confirm whether the person in the mirror was really himself.
"What should we do? Who should we ask for the antidote?"
Yelü Zhigu was extremely anxious, but now that he looked like this, he was too ashamed to face anyone.
Just then, Shulu Mingyao pushed open the door and entered.
"Simple and ancient!"
Shulu Mingyao was startled when she saw Yelu Zhigu's appearance.
What happened to you?
Yelü Zhigu was filled with shame and indignation. She quickly picked up a veil and covered her face completely.
Shulu Mingyao frowned:
"It seems the poison has taken effect. We need to find the antidote as soon as possible. By the way, what happened? Why are they so panicked?"
"By the way, guess who Qi Yuxuan's wife is?"
"I'm already in this state, who cares who he is or what he has to do with me! Finding me an antidote is the most important thing!"
Yelü Zhigu, already in a state of agitation, replied impatiently upon hearing this.
Shulu Mingyao smiled mysteriously: "It's Qiu Ziyue!"
Upon hearing this, Yelü Zhigu froze, nearly dropping the gauze scarf in his hand.
"What?! Qiu Ziyue is actually Qi Yuxuan's wife?!"
Shocked, Yelü Zhigu suddenly realized a major turning point in the situation: "So, Qiu Ziyue is two-timing..."
Shulu Mingyao nodded in agreement: "That's right, Zhigu."
Yelü Zhigu frowned in thought, his face growing increasingly gloomy.
"Previously, Li Cunxu had bloodshed three ministers in the court, and it was said that someone had slandered the Princess of Jin behind her back."
She said coldly,
“From then on, no one in the Prince of Jin’s residence dared to gossip. That’s why this matter was kept so well hidden, and even we were completely unaware of it.”
Shulu Mingyao said:
"What should we do now? We can't arrange a marriage alliance, and we can't kill Li Cunxu. If we go back to report like this, Father Khan will surely blame us for our incompetence!"
"It seems we need to go and meet Qiu Ziyue and the others. I think I'm able to become like this thanks to her."
Yelü Zhigudao.
A few days later, the three gathered an elite force hidden in Jinyang City and headed straight for the foot of Tongshan Mountain.
When the army appeared outside the cave, Shulu Mingyao shouted outside the cave.
The guards rushed inside to report the news, and Qiu Ziyue, Li Cunxu, and Qi Yuxuan emerged from the cave.
"Yelü Zhigu, what do you mean by this?"
Li Cunxu suppressed his anger and asked in a cold voice,
Yelü Zhigu sneered, his gaze fixed on Qiu Ziyue:
"Li Cunxu, your princess is not only your Princess Jin, but also Qi Yuxuan's wife!"
She's two-timing you; how could someone of such despicable character be worthy of you?
Upon hearing this, the surrounding area fell completely silent.
Li Cunxu smiled and said:
"Oh? I know my princess best. I can tolerate everything about her, but I cannot tolerate your slander of her."
Faced with Li Cunxu's composure, Yelü Zhigu then turned the conversation to Qiu Ziyue:
"We, the Khitan, sincerely wish to form a marriage alliance with you in Jinyang to maintain friendly relations between the Central Plains and the Khitan."
"Now that Princess Consort Jin has married General Qi, please consider the bigger picture and divorce Prince Jin as soon as possible!"
Qiu Ziyue said:
"What a joke! I'm all grown up, do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
Shulu Mingyao picked up the conversation and said:
"Qiu Ziyue, now that you have become the Princess Consort of Jin, why not hand over General Qi to her?"
My marriage alliance with General Qi was a beautiful story that fostered good relations between the Khitan and the Central Plains.
Seeing that they had come with ill intentions, Qiu Ziyue smiled and said:
"So you've come here to persuade me to divorce my husbands. But neither of my two husbands has taken a liking to you."
Besides, I, Qiu Ziyue, will keep my man. I like him, I'm happy, I'll spoil him. What's it to you?"
"Qiu Ziyue, you're shameless for having two husbands!"
Shulu Mingyao's face was contorted with anger.
Yelü Zhigu, his head covered with a veil, also angrily said:
"Qiu Ziyue, you are of lowly birth and of questionable character, and are not worthy to be the Princess Consort of Jin."
"Don't you dare slander my wife!"
"Don't spout nonsense!"
"clap clap"
"clap clap"
As two figures resembling white dragons leaped out, two crisp slaps echoed one after another.
The two white figures returned to their original positions.
Several finger marks had appeared on Shulu Mingyao's face.
Yelü Zhigu's white veil had fallen off, and his face was somewhat swollen.
"Oh, what happened to the princess? She looks so old all of a sudden."
The soldiers were startled.
"Since my father broke with the Khitan, there has been no longer any affection or loyalty between us."
Where did this talk of a marriage alliance come from? These slaps are the price you pay for slandering the Princess Consort of Jin. You'd better watch yourself.”
"My wife is not someone others can talk about as they please. If you have no manners or sense of shame, then don't bother me."
Two handsome men fiercely protect their wives.
Seeing that the stalemate would not end well, Shulü Minglie quickly tried to smooth things over:
“Prince Jin, Princess Jin, General Qi, please calm down. My two younger sisters spoke inappropriately. Please forgive them.”
“Zhigu, Mingyao, let’s go back,” Shulu Minglie said.
"No, we must teach Qiu Ziyue a lesson today. What makes her think she deserves General Qi? Does she even deserve him?"
"Yes, Qiu Ziyue, it must have been you who poisoned me. Give me the antidote now."
Shulu Mingyao and Yelu Zhigudao.
Qiu Ziyue saw that the two princesses on horseback had no intention of backing down and were instead being aggressive.
He laughed and said, "Alright, I'll grant your wish today."
What do you mean by that?
The two princesses asked.
"I'll exchange a few blows with you. If you can defeat me, I'll give you the antidote."
And I would say, I am not worthy, but…
"Okay, it's a deal. We'll exchange fifty moves, shall we?"
Yelü Zhigudao.
"No, I'll play zero-egg tricks with you."
Qiu Ziyue responded.
"What is a zero-egg move? Does such a move even exist?" Shulu Mingyao wondered.
Qiu Ziyue squinted her willow-leaf eyes:
“Yes, you will be riding on horseback, and I will just play music without doing anything. If you fall off your horse, I will win. How about it?”
"Qiu Ziyue, you've gone too far. But you said it yourself, so let's have a go."
“Fine, you guys who fell off your horses can go somewhere cool and stay there. Get lost,” Qiu Ziyue said.
“Don’t be so arrogant, I’d like to see what you’re capable of,” Yelü Zhigu said.
Everyone else, move aside.
Yelü Zhigu, Shulü Minglie, and Shulü Mingyao rode their horses outside the cave, facing Qiu Ziyue and her group.
Qiu Ziyue took out her jade flute and played a melodious tune, a mountain folk song, which was even pleasant to the ear and refreshing to the mind.
"Haha, what is this? Qiu Ziyue, you're bragging. This tune can make us fall off our horses? You're ridiculous."
"Yes, Princess Jin, is this the song you performed? It's making me want to fall asleep."
As the tens of millions of Khitan troops began to laugh and complain, the melody of the flute rose rapidly.
The notes became rapid and powerful, and then sound waves rippled outwards in concentric circles.
A powerful surge of internal force erupted, spreading out with overwhelming force in an instant.
