Chapter 2049: Chapter 2050: Pushing Toward the Path of Death

An Jing hurriedly helped Du Aya up, while directing Qi Gaoda and Qi Jiaoqiao to rise.

”A Ya, it’s been a long time, you haven’t changed much at all.” An Jing said warmly.

Du Aya was once one of the female soldiers led by An Jing, and later went to war with An Jing, their relationship was quite good. And due to Du Aya’s personality, she was not reserved, but rather cheerfully laughed, ”We’re all old now, how could there be no change?”

After a pause, Du Aya, filled with apology, knelt down again to plead guilty: ”King and Queen, my second daughter is unruly, she offended Prince Lin and even hurt him. It was due to the poor guidance from me and my husband. I implore you to punish us for our poor guidance when you punish my second daughter.”

Qi Gaoda also knelt down with Qi Jiaoqiao again.

An Jing hurriedly helped Du Aya up again: ”It’s not about guilt, Lin’er already told me that your second daughter mistakenly thought he was hitting your third daughter, and she acted to protect her sister. It’s not entirely her fault.”

Du Aya said: ”She was born with great strength and doesn’t know how to control it. She has caused many troubles in the Imperial Capital before. The King and Queen really should punish her to prevent even bigger troubles in the future which would be even harder to resolve.”

An Jing laughed: ”If I truly punish her and cut off her head, would you really be willing?”

Du Aya said: ”She is my own flesh and blood, how could I bear it. But the law of the land dictates, and if the Queen cuts off her head, neither I nor my family would harbor any complaint.”

An Jing patted Du Aya’s hand, ”I know the Qi Family are all loyalists.”

”Then I beg the King and Queen to immediately punish my rebellious daughter!” As she spoke, Du Aya wanted to kneel again.

But this time An Jing quickly supported her: ”This is a matter the King and I cannot punish. We just promised Lin’er that we wouldn’t intervene in this matter, and the King and I must keep our word.”

”Then...” Du Aya thought for a moment, then said: ”Then my husband and I will take our rebellious daughter to Prince Lin to plead guilty.”

An Yiqi said: ”There’s no need for any plea, my sixth brother doesn’t require it. He just wants your third daughter to serve him. My sixth brother got a fracture from being beaten by your second daughter, this matter can’t just be ignored, can it? He might need a year or even longer to recover!”

Qi Gaoda immediately said: ”Jiaoqiao just explained everything to me and my wife. It’s fitting that Linglong serves Prince Lin like an ox and horse, but I still plead with the King and Queen to punish Jiaoqiao. If the King and Queen don’t handle this matter, then let Prince Lin punish Jiaoqiao, otherwise my wife and I won’t find peace.”

An Yiqi laughed, arms crossed, addressing Qi Jiaoqiao: ”Are you really your parents’ biological child? If so, why would they be so eager to send you to your death?”

Qi Jiaoqiao restrained herself from glaring at An Yiqi, but her hand inside her sleeve clenched into a fist, she cursed silently in her heart: You’re the one not your parents’ biological child!

An Yiqi glanced at Qi Jiaoqiao’s fist hidden in her sleeve, finding her amusing, but maintained a calm demeanor and spoke again: ”I heard you’re born with divine strength, now that you’re here, let my Father and Mother see it.”

With that, he had a rosewood table moved to the center. The table was extremely hard, very solid, and quite heavy.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi remained silent, allowing An Yiqi to test Qi Jiaoqiao’s divine power.
