The sky was clear after the rain!
Ji Yunshu was held tightly by Jing Rong. She was worried that the wounds on his body would bleed, so she didn't dare to move. However, hot tears still flowed out of her eyes, trickling down the corners of her eyes, cheeks, chin, neck … dripping onto Jing Rong's shoulder.
He could feel the tears on his shoulder, so he couldn't help but hold the woman in his arms tighter.
Ji Yunshu asked, "Will it? Will the sky really clear after the rain? "
Jing Rong replied, "It will! It definitely will! "
However, after experiencing disappointment and setbacks again and again, she didn't dare to have any more extravagant hopes.
After a long time, she got up from Jing Rong's embrace and stared into his pitch-black eyes. She reached out and gently touched his cold and stiff face. She choked with sobs and asked, "Then, will we always be together?"
"Silly, of course we will."
"But I'm so scared."
Jing Rong held her hand that was caressing his face and firmly told her, "Just remember, no matter where you are, I will do my best to find you!"
Ji Yunshu nodded with tears in her eyes.
Then, she slowly squatted down and rested her head on Jing Rong's thigh. She looked straight ahead … Jing Rong gently stroked her head and looked down at her profile, her nose, her thick eyelashes … His heart was filled with deep regret. He should have taken her away from this troublesome place, to go where she wanted to go, to do what she wanted to do, to always be by her side, but he always let her go.
She kept running around and crying her heart out …
"Yunshu, I'm sorry!"
When Ji Yunshu heard this, her eyes slightly flickered.
The two of them didn't say anything, but they understood each other's thoughts.
The night was cold.
It was November, and it started to rain.
The cold wind mixed with the rain swept through the streets of the capital. The winter rain was cold, chilling people's hearts and the world.
Wei Yi stood at the top of the Full Moon Tower. His empty and sorrowful eyes gazed at the rows upon rows of palaces in the distance. The drizzling rain blurred the scene in front of him. The bright red light from the lanterns was like ink in water. It intoxicated both his eyes and his heart.
The rain fell, drenching the palace walls and the limestone slabs.
His hair was wet, as well as his yellow dragon robe.
The coldness began to flow wantonly through his body until he became numb!
The eunuchs at the side held the umbrella and tried to use the umbrella to block the rain for him many times, but he always scolded them to leave. After a few times, the eunuchs didn't dare to say anything. If they angered the emperor, they would be beheaded. No one could afford to bear the consequences.
He simply stood silently at the side and watched as the emperor stood in the drizzle.
Wei Yi did not know how long he stood in the rain. He only left Lunar Pavilion when the pain in his heart was dispelled by the chill.
The next day.
Wei Yi issued an imperial edict, dismissing all the officials he had promoted to court.
Leave no one alive!
It shocked the entire court.
Soon after, he issued a second imperial edict, transferring the officials of Jing Rong's faction back to their posts in the imperial court. Those who were unwilling to re-enter the imperial court were rewarded handsomely, and all the groundless charges against them were removed.
What was even more shocking was that right after the first two imperial edicts were issued, Wei Yi issued a third one.
Praising Qin Shiyu as a 'benefactor'!
The imperial court began to speculate about Wei Yi's intentions.
Did that bastard have a change of heart?
Or was he crazy?
His actions were undoubtedly boosting the power of Jing Rong's faction and turning him into a puppet emperor once again.
The posthumous edict in Jing Rong's hands was tantamount to controlling Wei Yi and persuading him to walk the right path.
Everything had calmed down!
But —
Was Wei Yi really willing to accept this?
Was everything really calm behind the scenes?
At the Embroidery Office.
Ji Wanxin was embroidering in her embroidery room. Ever since she went to see Wei Yi, she had been listless.
Ziwei noticed this and quietly sat beside her, asking, "Wanxin, you've been absent-minded for the past two days. Are you feeling unwell?"
As he spoke, he probed her forehead.
"You don't have a fever!"
Ji Wanxin deliberately avoided her touch.
Ziwei continued to ask, "Did something happen? Or … are you homesick? "
Ji Wanxin replied, "No."
"Then what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." "We're sisters, why can't we tell each other? Why don't you tell me so that I can help you solve it. Besides, didn't Nanny tell us to take care of her last time? You've just arrived in the palace and you don't know anyone. If there's something on your mind, just say it. Don't keep it to yourself.
I promise I won't tell anyone. "
Ziwei rattled off a lot of things, all in a flattering tone.
She really knows how to flatter!
If it wasn't for Nanny Jiang treating Ji Wanxin so well for the past few days, Ziwei would not have been so enthusiastic.
Ji Wanxin was an intelligent person, so she could see through Ziwei's intentions.
But she didn't expose her.
She continued to embroider the brocade in her hands and replied without raising her head, "I'm really fine. Thank you for your concern."
"Really?"
"I've never liked rainy days since I was a child, but it rained for an entire night last night, so my mood was inevitably affected."
"So that's how it is. If you really feel uncomfortable, you must tell me!"
"En."
"That's right, Wanxin, I see that Nanny Jiang treats you very well. Don't tell me you …"
Ji Wanxin immediately interrupted her, a trace of impatience in her eyes, "Ziwei, I still have things to do."
As she spoke, she raised the brocade in her hands.
Ziwei smiled awkwardly, feeling that she had been snubbed. She had no choice but to leave.
Before she left, she said coolly, "Boring."
Ji Wanxin sighed, her expression darkening.
At this time —
She heard the conversation of the embroidery maids behind her.
"Did you hear? His Majesty has issued several imperial edicts today. "
The embroidery maids were shocked and asked, "Several? Did something big happen? "
Ji Wanxin stopped embroidering and leaned back a bit, opening her ears to listen curiously. She heard a fat embroidery maid say in a low voice, "His Majesty has issued a total of three imperial edicts today. The first one is to dismiss all the officials that His Majesty had promoted to court. The second one is to recall Lord Lu, Lord Zhou, and the others into court. The third one is to commend the deceased Lord Qin as a benefactor.
”
She spoke very excitedly.
"Ah?" Someone questioned, "Is it true?"
"Of course it's true! The imperial edict has already been issued, why would I lie to you? "
"What happened to His Majesty? Why did he suddenly issue three imperial edicts in a row? "
