The sacrificial plan of Princess Duanhui is the most extreme one Su Jin has seen in both her lifetimes combined.
Abandoning chariots to protect the general, abandoning an arm to save a life, such determination to cut one's losses is truly terrifying.
Su Jin was shocked not by Princess Duanhui but by Prince Qi and Duke Chong.
It seems Prince Qi already knows he was tricked into the Capital City, living right under everyone's nose.
If he sneaks out of the Capital, it will definitely be a dead end.
Acting openly, however, might offer a slim chance of survival.
To this end, they had to sacrifice Princess Duanhui to dispel the Emperor's suspicions and buy time for themselves.
First, Princess Qi, then Princess Duanhui.
One is his confidante, the other is his own sister.
Prince Qi's ambition is truly frightening.
Su Jin felt a vague uneasiness in her heart.
Her intuition told her that the Capital City would not be peaceful in the days to come.
