Did Jiu Wang not think that he was in Ping Ning. If the Tartar tribe were to master Ping Ning, then it was certain that he would die. Did Jiu Wang even think of her feelings?
"At that time, Brother Jiu realized that we were in a hopeless situation. My father chose Qi Sheng, Prince Zhao betrayed us, even you too! You also changed your mind. You all chose to follow Qi Sheng. Brother Jiu has nothing left. All he had was a heart filled with hatred and wanted to kill Qi Sheng, wanting to defeat Qi Sheng."
"Keep what if he defeats Qi Sheng. Just for the sake of winning, how could he cooperate with the enemy?"
"Everything he did was for you! When she found out you changed her mind, she decided to fight to the point of blood loss. His heart was so hurt. As a woman, you wouldn't understand."
Of course Peng Peng understood that feeling from a man's point of view. If he were Jiu Wang, he would probably do the same. Yang Yan tried to persuade her to go see Jiu Wang, but Peng Peng felt that she was not ready to face him. They finally decided to get drunk.
Peng Peng was drunk when he came home and found Qi Sheng was mowing down his flowers. Peng Peng honestly admitted that he had just visited Yang Yan. Just punish him if Qi Sheng wants to, but don't blame Yang Yan.
"Why should I punish you? I know you're very sad to see Yang Yan's situation. You've always treated her and protected her like a sister. Whether he lives or dies, it has not been determined at this time. You're gonna be so worried."
"Looking at the situation right now, my heart is indeed very sick. But in this matter, I know that I cannot beg you to forgive them. Whatever I say will only make it harder for you and make it harder for myself."
"Do you know why Jiu Wang came back and turned himself in? He wants to claim all that evil on himself, he doesn't want to involve anyone else."
Qi Sheng understood what this Jiu Wang did for the sake of love. But from the beginning, love was not his. He wanted to seize the throne, but instead made the wrong decision until it ended like this. He must be responsible. Since Qi Sheng had already made his decision, Peng Peng decided to go to sleep instead.
"Aren't you going to ask me how I'm going to punish them?"
"I know you've made your decision. Whatever I say, it'll be for nothing."
The next day, Eunuch Qiang read out Qi Sheng's decision on the fate of Jiu Wang and Yang Yan. Even though Jiu Wang's betrayal deserved the death penalty, but because he gave himself up and regretted his actions, Qi Sheng decided to forgive him from the death penalty.
However his princely title was revoked and he would be exiled to Ling Nan. Yang Yan was conscripted in the Northern Desert for 5 years.
When Jiu Wang returned to his home, Peng Peng came to visit him at once to restore the love knot Jiu Wang gave first.
Jiu Wang refused to take it back. Peng Peng must have been angry at him and hated him. But the matter that happened in Ping Ning was entirely his own fault. He never thought about hurting anyone.
