After having sex with a fake eunuch, I became the queen

When it comes to how to kill people, Prince Ying Geng has a lot of say. The reason why he was able to practice martial arts well day and night is because he has been driven by an obsession since he was a child - to kill the old woman Xiao Qian with his own hands one day, so he had imagined countless ways to make her die ugly, such as slapping her into black mud like slapping a fly, and cutting her into pieces like eating crabs.

Ji Yin was somewhat surprised at Qiao Wan'er's fearless desire to kill Xu Shixin - he overheard those cruel words she said in the bamboo forest and thought she was just showing off her tongue and venting her emotions. He estimated that even if she had ten times the courage, she would not dare to do such a thing. After all, she was just a little maid in the palace who was used to being submissive. She might not even dare to kill a chicken, let alone kill someone, which was a matter of risking her life. Not everyone had the courage to be a "Jing Ke".

But after talking to her, he felt that she seemed to be not just talking. There was a sense of awe emanating from her from head to toe, and she was determined as if "If I don't go to hell, who will?" This really made Ji Yin look at her with new eyes.

Prince Ying Geng admired the woman's courage from the bottom of his heart, but he did not have much hope for her success - Xu Shixin was a man with a foundation in martial arts, which was known to everyone in Longchang Palace - because he had helped Empress Dowager Xiao block an assassin's knife with his martial arts, which were not just fancy moves, he became her confidant.

If a weak woman who is not even capable of tying a chicken were to kill such a person, it would be hard to say who would kill whom.

But regardless of the chances of winning, seeing that someone was determined to help him get rid of the thorn in his side, Ji Yin suddenly wanted to help him plan something.

After all, there have been battles throughout history where the few have defeated the many, and the weak have defeated the strong: when the enemy is strong and we are weak, victory lies in planning, and we can only use intelligence, not force.

When it comes to planning, the first thing to do is to grasp the right moment to act - preferably when the old man is unconscious, such as when he is asleep, drunk, or knocked out by drugs.

Ji Yu did bring some aphrodisiac powder into the palace, but it was not convenient to provide it to the assassin. Similarly, it was not convenient to lend her the short knife he had hidden. Not only because these things might arouse Qiao Wan'er's suspicion of his identity, but also because they were not easy for a little palace maid to obtain. If they were discovered and investigated by the Ministry of Punishment, he would be in danger as the provider behind the scenes.

So when Qiao Wan'er said that she wanted to use scissors to kill someone, Ji Yin agreed very much, because scissors can indeed stab people to death, and they are easily available in the Shangyi Bureau.

“If you want to kill him with one blow, you have to use scissors to pierce the large vein at the base of his neck. If you can pierce it with one blow, blood will gushed out. Even the most skilled fighter will lose his strength in a moment and be unable to resist, eventually bleeding to death.” Ji Xu clenched one hand, making a reverse-grip scissors gesture, and with the other hand, pressed the base of his neck with two fingers together. While speaking, he made a motion of stabbing at the pressed area.

Qiao Wan'er had been listening to the other party's sermon with a scrutinizing eye... He was so scared just now, like a turtle, and now he suddenly started talking about how to kill people. This guy might have the habit of bragging again!
Ji Yu didn't understand the meaning of that look for a moment, thinking that the woman had doubts about his identity, so he quickly tried to cover it up: "Before I entered the palace, I liked to watch a butcher in the village slaughtering pigs, and occasionally I would go up to help. The butcher saw that I was very intelligent, so he taught me some skills. If I hadn't entered the palace later, I might have been the butcher's apprentice!"

Sure enough, his boasting habit came back again! Qiao Wan'er replied with a nonchalant look: "Fuzhi, but what you learned is butchering pigs, how can it be compared with killing people?"

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, Ji Yin's heart was at ease. He could tell that she was disgusted with him for bragging again... But it was better this way, at least she didn't doubt his identity.

So Prince Ying Geng condescended to admit his disdain and continued to brag: "Killing a pig is similar to killing a person. You just need to find the fatal spot and stab it hard. You can figure it out by deduction. I am quite talented in this area. I can often draw inferences from one instance and apply it to another..." "Okay, then teach me how to stab that old bastard to death with scissors!" Before "Fuzhi" finished speaking, Qiao Wan'er interrupted his boasting, as if she couldn't wait to learn the skills of killing... No matter if this person is bragging or really has something in his mind, at this critical moment, someone is willing to teach you how to kill people, which is like timely help! It is better to sharpen your spear before the battle!

After the two hit it off, Qiao Wan'er quickly started practicing under Ji Ying's guidance.

Ji Yin often trained his soldiers in the army. Some of them were very intelligent while others were mediocre. This was the first time he saw someone with such poor understanding as Qiao Wan'er. She could be described as stupid. During the drills, this woman either couldn't find the vital point: finding the vital point was like gambling. She got it right the first time but missed it by a huge margin the next time; or she couldn't control the strength well: either she used too much force or she was too weak to use any strength.

In short, Ji Ying, the temporary coach, had become somewhat discouraged - this was not an assassination attempt, it was simply a suicide mission.

But on second thought, many things depend on the right time, right place and right people. Didn't Jing Ke, who was so good at martial arts, still fail? They say that stupid people have good luck. Let this woman take her chances. Maybe she will hit the jackpot.

Besides, although this "death warrior" is not very smart, he is determined to fight in the battlefield. He was picked up for free, so it would be a waste not to use him... If she succeeds, everyone will be happy. If he dies, it won't cost him a single soldier, and he won't have to worry about being seen through by her as a fake in the future.

"In addition to the scissors, don't forget to prepare a sturdy piece of cloth. You can use it to tie or strangle people in case of emergency. Remember to be flexible! Get out of here quickly after you're done. I'll think of a way..." Ji Yin once again "worriedly" reminded Qiao Wan'er who was about to turn around and leave.

But before he could finish his words, the woman interrupted him, as if she thought he was being too fussy: "You don't have to come to pick me up. Isn't it clear what I just said? This matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved! From now on, we are two strangers."

After Qiao Wan'er finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back.

Ji Yin looked at the "heartless" back gradually walking away, and the mournful expression he had deliberately pretended to have turned back to being calm... The performance was finally over!

He hoped that everything would go "smoothly", and that Qiao Wan'er would be able to succeed in the assassination. But regardless of success or failure, he, the mastermind behind the scenes, must not be implicated... In this matter, he must be a stealthy presence.

Fortunately, Qiao Wan'er was a woman of affection and righteousness. In order not to implicate him as her "concubine", she took a firm attitude and refused to let him get involved in this matter - which was exactly what he wanted.
