With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 402 It is your honor to die for the princess
While the people in the capital were discussing the new dynasty, A'qi was busy in the palace.

She ate a few bites of lunch in a hurry and continued to work. In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon. People around her had reminded her several times to eat, and she finally put down what she was doing.

In fact, it doesn’t affect her health whether she eats it or not, but other people may be worried, so she should just eat a few bites.

Fearing that someone was plotting against them, Luzhu and Hongzhu would always carefully check the food before handing it to Ah Qi.

Ah Qi didn't say much. If they were willing to do these things, they could do them so as not to feel uneasy.

But there are so many poisons in this world, and it is really impossible to detect all the green and red beads. The cup of tea next to A'qi during dinner was problematic.

She glanced at the maid serving tea and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

The maid tried her best to control her body and replied calmly, "Your Majesty, my name is Jingshu."

"What is your background? Is there anyone else in your family?"

Jingshu clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves and calmed herself down: "I am an orphan, and there is no one at home."

"How did you become an orphan?" Ah Qi supported his chin and asked again, "Disease, natural disaster, or man-made disaster?"

This made Jingshu stunned. How did she become an orphan? Because... she was born under the rule of Northern Qi. Her father and brother offended the powerful and were beaten to death. No one appealed, and she was also taken away. She thought she had fallen into the devil's den, but later she was chosen by the third prince of Northern Qi, and her life became better.

"Who arranged for you to come?"

Jingshu knelt down in panic and said, "It was me, it was really me. No one arranged it."

The Third Prince was still alive. If he was exposed because of her, wouldn't he have no chance of survival? She only thought that she could be saved by killing the Third Prince, but suddenly she realized that she seemed to have thought too simply.

"Are you trying to restore Northern Qi by killing me today?"

"No--" Jingshu suddenly said loudly. She had never thought about restoring the former Northern Qi. No, there was nothing good about Northern Qi. In fact, she was quite happy when those nobles were killed, especially when she knew that the person who had killed her father was also killed. She was even happier.

She suddenly lost all her strength, and at that moment she understood something.

But the third prince is different, at least the people around him are nice.

"Your master is Song Yuheng, right?" When Ah Qi said this name, Jingshu looked flustered. She was not surprised. For a palace maid like Jingshu to come to her, the other party's master could not be anyone else. Among the royal nobles of Northern Qi, only Song Yuheng was slightly popular.

"The Third Prince has not given any orders. You can punish me if you want." Jingshu collapsed to the ground helplessly. "Really, I didn't even have the chance to see him. The Third Prince didn't pass on any news. It was really just my wishful thinking."

"Do you think Northern Qi will become better if Song Yuheng restores it?" Ah Qi asked. Seeing Jingshu raise her head, she said without waiting for the other party to answer, "No, when he was still the glorious third prince of Northern Qi, he didn't have the ability and courage to stop and persuade, let alone restore Northern Qi. Even if someone helped him, those royal family members and nobles who stayed outside would definitely come back to support him, which would also hinder him. He would not take action against them, and would even use them."

"Which side are those people on?"

"Song Yuheng has restored Northern Qi. He does no evil, but the people under him may not be. It won't be long before this place becomes the same as before."

"Is this what you want?"

"No." Jingshu shook her head quickly. This was not what she wanted. She hated everyone in the Northern Qi royal family except the Third Prince. She had been with the Third Prince for a long time and had seen a lot of dirty things. She wanted to vomit every time she thought of them. The Third Prince would sigh to show that he was powerless.

His Majesty Xin Guo was right. Even if she succeeded today, the Third Prince would only go down the old path if he restored Northern Qi. "I didn't kill him. What do you want to do by coming to kill me today?" Ah Qi asked with a smile.

Jingshu said, "I thought that if I killed His Majesty, the Third Prince would be saved, but when he ascended to the throne, he... was different."

"It's not as simple as you think." Ah Qi smiled. "If that were the case, anyone could do it, except him. He would only die faster."

"If I'm gone, what will happen to those people who still have hope? I'm afraid many people will die, and they will all be weaklings like you."

Jingshu's face turned pale. At this moment, she finally understood the importance of the new emperor in front of her.

Seeing that she was in a trance, A'qi continued to eat and did not touch the cup of tea. Even if the poison was not fatal, he did not want to scare others.

With Fan Shi and Xue Shanhui around, things shouldn't get completely chaotic. But without her, things wouldn't be so good either. Especially at times like this, we can't underestimate the cohesion of people's hearts. Only when she's around can these people come together and do what she arranges.

Now she is the backbone, no matter who is missing, she cannot be missing.

Because she killed the Northern Qi royal family without hesitation, as well as those nobles who exploited the people and played with people's lives. They believed in her and thought that only she could make them live a good life. If she was gone, they would only panic and think of escaping. In order to survive, they would shrink back and their newly born courage would instantly collapse, and it would be difficult to regain it.

Fan Shi is smart and Xue Shanhui is kind, both are good people, but in times of chaos like this, it is difficult to gather people together like she did.

If people's hearts could be united simply by their intelligence and kindness, and there were so many intelligent and kind-hearted people in every generation, why would we worry about chaos and unrest in the world?

"I won't kill you today. Since you have such a heart, I will send you to serve Song Yuheng. I will fulfill your wish. I won't kill him either, and you two can live together."

Ah Qi waved her hand, and Jingshu was sent to the place where Song Yuheng was imprisoned.

Currently he is still in the palace, a relatively remote and quiet palace. Naturally, he does not receive any treatment of the standard that the Third Prince receives. It is good enough for him to have some food, but he is not asked to enjoy himself there.

Jingshu was somewhat happy to see Song Yuheng intact, but when she thought about her previous conversation with His Majesty the Xin Dynasty, she always felt that she had missed something, but her joy of seeing Song Yuheng was also dispelling it.

"You shouldn't do this. You can't kill her." After knowing what happened, Song Yuheng sighed, "You haven't seen how powerful she is. She is not an ordinary person."

Those methods are almost the same as those of gods.

"Master, if I succeed and you recover Northern Qi, can it make Northern Qi different? Will it get better? Will it change? Can those things that cost human lives be stopped?" Jingshu suddenly asked.

Song Yuheng was in a trance for a moment, and he smiled bitterly: "Jingshu, you think too highly of me."

He can't.

"If you really kill Song Qi, I can't even restore Northern Qi. How can I restore it? Who will listen? Those people in the past? I was supported by them and was almost a puppet. How can I change?"

Jingshu was silent. Is it really like this?

"Your Majesty, I heard someone tried to poison you?" Fan Shi ran back nervously, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ah Qi flipping through a book. "Did you kill that stupid person?"

He didn't kill him so he came in person.

This was the person he had finally found, the hope for unifying the world! How could she be harmed by someone? Anyone who harmed her deserved death.
