The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

"Oh? So, victory depends on skill?" Ji Mengshu couldn't see clearly through the weft, but judging from the fierce reactions of the people present, it was indeed cruel enough.

Ning Er didn't respond, and focused on watching the next slave coming up. The two murderers had just eaten the body of the previous slave, so they were full of energy. When they saw the delicious food being delivered to their mouths, they pounced on it immediately.

Everyone in the Colosseum was full of contempt. This slave was too thin and too small. Compared to the strong man before him, he had no advantage at all.

It was not difficult for Ji Mengshu to hear what other people thought of this slave: he didn't have even two pounds of meat on him, and he wouldn't even be able to fill the stomach of a ferocious beast.

Ning Er crossed his arms across his chest, "This person is as light as a swallow, which is an advantage for such a heavy beast."

Ji Mengshu heard the two beasts roaring in dissatisfaction with the enemy's cunning behavior, and said, "But these beasts have strong flesh and skin. If one person fights two beasts, no matter how light as a swallow, there will always be a moment when his physical strength is exhausted..." She has never been optimistic about this kind of game that involves gambling.

"it is good!!"

In the moment of panic, cheers from the crowd on the stage rang out. The slave below the stage was covered in a mess. He took advantage of the moment when the beast pounced on him and slashed the beast's belly with a dagger, leaving him covered in the stench.

Ji Mengshu covered her mouth and nose. The smell was really unpleasant. The pungent fishy smell made her feel as if she was back in her previous life when she was tortured and on the verge of death. She never wanted to experience that feeling of being worse than death again in her life.

"Miss Ji, are you okay?" Ning Er was looking at her just now, not knowing that a girl shouldn't like such a bad smell, but there were people from the Colosseum all around, so there was nothing he could do. He was just too stupid. Ning Er thought, if the prince was here, he would definitely have a way.

"I'm fine...I'm fine." Ji Mengshu exhaled several times, deep and shallow, before he managed to hold back from vomiting his breakfast.

Under the stage, a beast convulsed and fell to the ground and died, which frightened the other beast greatly. It hesitated and dared not move forward, and the man and the beast instantly fell into a stalemate.

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Come on, come on!"

"Yeah! Do you know what it means to strike while the iron is hot?"

"..."

These people were indifferent to the lives of others and had no idea of ​​the tortures that slave had endured. Ji Mengshu covered his nose and watched as the slave took the lead in attacking the beast.

"Ning Er, look, what does he mean?" Ji Mengshu didn't understand why the slave seemed to have suddenly relaxed his vigilance, like a hunter who roamed among the ferocious beasts in the Colosseum all year round.

A smile appeared on Ning Er's usually dazed face, "Miss Ji, he is trying to lure the enemy deeper into our territory—"

Just as he was halfway through his words, the ferocious beast suddenly leaped in front of the slave, opening its bloody mouth as if it could swallow the whole person into its stomach.

The slave's bony arm was bitten, and he desperately thrust his dagger into the beast's neck, causing blood to flow out. The beast's life was threatened, and it ran around the arena, carrying the slave with it.

The beast had gone mad. Even if the man wasn't bitten to death by the beast, he would be trampled to death by it. Just when everyone was feeling sorry for a good seedling, the beast had already spurted blood and fell to the ground dead.

Ning Er breathed a sigh of relief, "Girl, this guy is a good candidate."

"That's true," Ji Mengshu stood up and handed the large banknote to Ning Er, "I'll buy him."

On the way back to the palace, Qingzhu was still a little worried and said, "Miss, that man wouldn't just die in the yard..."

Ning Er was riding a horse in front. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Didn't Miss Ji already hire a doctor? What are you afraid of?"

Qingzhu remembered seeing a half-living person who looked like a dead person outside the suburbs of Beijing, and thought that Ning Er had done something evil outside during his absence. "But...but that slave looked really badly injured..."

"Those who came out of the Colosseum with half their lives gone but still having all their arms and legs intact are considered lucky." Ning Er drove a horse-drawn carriage and slowly passed through the path.

Qingzhu never thought that her young lady would secretly go to a bloody place like the Colosseum. "Young lady, how could you go to such a place when you are worth so much money?" Although she had never been to the Colosseum, she had heard of it and found that it was full of vicious people. How could a young lady go to such a place at such a young age?

Just thinking about it makes me angry. "Ning Er! Is it you? You brought the girl to that kind of place?!" Qing Zhu opened the curtain and slapped Ning Er.

"Hey - no, no, it's none of my business, I'm innocent -" Ning Er was driving the carriage and it was difficult for him to dodge, so he was slapped several times. However, Qingzhu didn't believe anything he said and insisted that he had led her good girl astray.

"Qingzhu, you are not allowed to tell Hongye about the Colosseum." Ji Mengshu reminded her repeatedly before entering the palace. Hongye has always been cautious in doing things. If she knew that she went to the Colosseum, Jiang's mother would inevitably find out.

It’s not because she didn’t trust Hongye, but because Hongye was thoughtful and only cared about her own good, and she was afraid that she would not like the outsiders Ning Rongzhang and Ning Er.

After returning to the palace successfully, Hongye carefully came out of the palace to welcome her. After seeing that it was Ji Mengshu, her expression finally relaxed a little, "The girl is back."

"Well... Hongye, has anyone come here during this time?" They must not let anyone else know that they had secretly left the palace.

"The young lady has not been away from the palace for long. Apart from Concubine Wan who came this morning, I said that the young lady slept late last night and has not woken up yet. Apart from that, there is no one else..." Hongye reported one by one.

"That's good, that's good."

"But girl, we are in the palace under the empress dowager's order. You must not leave the palace without permission in the future. If you are discovered, I am afraid that others will make up something to slander the Ji family." Hongye said naggingly. If the decision to leave the palace last night had not been too hasty, she would definitely have tried to stop it.

Ji Mengshu nodded and followed Hongye's instructions. The three of them did not tell Qingzhu about their business outside the palace, but asked him to bring out a few oil-paper wrapped food and the popular rouge jars in the city.

"Hey, sister Hongye, look at what we bought. Isn't this fried duck from Chengnan Wangji your favorite? The girl asked me to buy it for you. I want to eat the round duck, but the girl is not so generous..."

Qingzhu coaxed Hongye into submission with just a few words. Ji Mengshu saw that professional matters should indeed be left to professionals.
