But the pleas of the three advisors were ignored by the infuriated Qin Shuangshuang. Later, they still didn't know anything, but Qi Pengju, who knew Qin Shuangshuang, encountered this farce when he was patrolling the border at Feiying Pass, and then stepped in to stop Qin Shuangshuang's violent actions.
When Qi Pengju learned the whole story, he too was at a loss for words, his mouth twitching uncontrollably. He couldn't muster any sympathy for Yan Jie, who had been beaten by Qin Shuangshuang until he looked like a pig's head—he completely brought this on himself!
Feeling tragic and having resolved to face death, only to end up being beaten up, Yan Jie was full of grievances with nowhere to express them! As the victim, he even had to awkwardly apologize to Qin Shuangshuang. After all, it was almost his own fault for nearly getting himself killed and getting beaten by her!
