Idiot Jing Hua
Jing Rong didn't even bat an eye at Jing Hua's words.
"Since I brought this person back to the capital, she must be outstanding." He turned to Qi Zhen emperor. "This Son believes in her. She will definitely solve the Imperial Duke's case."
Qi Zhen emperor nodded and took another sip of tea. "Since Jing Rong has so much confidence in that person, I'm a bit curious." He thought about it carefully. "The day after tomorrow is Concubine Xiao's birthday. There will be a banquet in the palace. When you enter the palace that day, bring her along. I want to see who she is that can make you trust her so much."
Jing Rong was a bit hesitant.
Although he knew that bringing Ji Yunshu back to the capital would definitely lead her to the palace, he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Unable to refuse, Jing Rong could only agree.
"Yes, this Son will obey."
Qi Zhen emperor hummed and waved his hand. "You should return to your residence first. You have just returned to the capital, so you should rest more. I understand that you have a filial and loyal heart."
"Yes."
From beginning to end, the word Jing Rong uttered the most was' yes'.
As soon as he left Fuyang hall, Jing Hua followed him out.
"Jing Rong!" Jing Hua called out.
Jing Rong stopped and stood under the eaves. He turned around and saw Jing Hua's smiling face.
"Your Highness, what's the matter?"
"Just call me Jing Hua. You and I are blood brothers. There is no need to be so distant."
"You are the Crown Prince, and I am a subject. There is naturally a difference."
Jing Hua was very happy with Jing Rong calling him 'Crown Prince'.
He raised his hand and gently patted Jing Rong's shoulder. "Imperial Father is right. You are a loyal and filial person. Among all of your brothers, you are the only one who doesn't fight for power. If I become the Emperor in the future, I hope that you can become my most capable subject."
The Emperor hasn't died yet, and you already want to be the Emperor?
Idiot!
Jing Rong thought to himself, 'It's fine to say these words in front of me, but don't go around saying them. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.
Don't say this in front of Jing Yi. Although he won't topple you now, there's no guarantee that he won't catch you off guard in the future.
Jing Rong smiled faintly. "If the Crown Prince is able to reach the peak one day, I will naturally do my best to assist you."
"No wonder this prince thinks so highly of you."
"…"
Jing Hua patted his shoulder again. "Alright, I still have to return to the East Palace to study the documents. Recently, Imperial Father has ordered people to move many books into the East Palace."
I know, I know!
You just want to say that the emperor thinks highly of you!
Bullshit!
He, Qi Zhen, just disliked the lack of words in your head, so he wanted to pour more ink into your brain.
Jing Hua clasped his hands behind his back and walked away proudly, followed by six eunuchs.
Behind him, Jing Rong couldn't help but sneer, "Idiot!"
Jing Hua had grown up by the Emperor's side. Although he was a loafer and incompetent, he was a smooth talker.
But in the end, he was still an idiot. It was only because he was born well and had a father who doted on him that he got the title of Crown Prince.
If he was an ordinary person, he wouldn't even know how many times he died!
In Jing Rong's heart, Jing Hua had always been an idiot. He believed that as the heir apparent, he would be able to sit firmly on the dragon throne in the future. He didn't know that as long as the other princes used some tricks, they could easily pull this idiot down.
Jing Yi had kept this idiot alive because his threat and fighting power were too small, maybe even zero. Thus, as long as the other princes got rid of Jing Hua, Jing Yi would naturally be able to sit firmly on the Crown Prince's throne.
The internal strife within the Imperial Family was wishful thinking, but it was a resounding battle!
Unfortunately, Jing Rong didn't want to get involved in this struggle, but there were some things that didn't go as he wished.
After returning from the Imperial Palace, Jing Rong changed into a dark blue robe. He didn't even have time to eat before hurrying to the East Courtyard.
At this time, Wei Yi had already gone to rest.
Wei Yi had already gone to bed early in the morning. He covered himself with his quilt and slept soundly.
After driving the carriage for so long, Ji Yunshu was actually tired, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.
She stood under the eaves and raised her head to look at the water falling from the eaves. Her eyes were clear and cold, but there was a hint of sadness in them.
In her hand, she tightly grasped a tassel with a translucent blue bead hanging from it. Under the illumination of the lantern, the bead was particularly translucent.
Her fingertips gently played with the red thread hanging from the tassel. The bead swayed gently in the cold wind.
Jing Rong entered the courtyard and happened to see her. Although she was dressed in men's clothing and wore a half-mask, his heart still trembled when he saw her.
This woman was untainted by the filth, making it impossible for people to label her with the word 'secular'.
She should belong to the tranquil Jiangnan River Town, growing up on the edge of the water court. She should have lived a peaceful and worry-free life.
At this moment, Jing Rong really doubted whether bringing her back to the capital was the right decision.
His heart sank, but he quietly walked over.
"This tassel is very beautiful!" He said.
Hearing the voice, Ji Yunshu looked over and saw that she was holding the tassel in her hand. The corners of her mouth slowly curled up into a smile.
"This was given to me by Ji Pei. He said that after he lost his memory, he always wore it."
When she mentioned that person, the corner of Ji Yunshu's mouth twitched, revealing a trace of pain.
Jing Rong knew that no one could replace Ji Pei in her heart.
"Do you really think that he's dead?" Jing Rong suddenly asked.
His question made Ji Yunshu feel annoyed. Her eyes revealed a trace of surprise. She asked, "Your Highness, why do you ask?"
"It's nothing. I just suddenly thought of this problem."
She shook her head. "I don't dare to ask for more. It's probably because I don't dare to hope anymore. For the past two years, I've been hoping that Ji Pei is still alive. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. It really can wear away one's mind."
At this point, she smiled bitterly.
Jing Rong kept looking at her. When she talked about Ji Pei, he saw the slight change in her expression.
"Yunshu." He suddenly called out to her.
"Hm?"
"Forget it." He shook his head and changed the subject. "The day after tomorrow, you will come with me to the palace."
She was sure she didn't hear wrong. Go to the palace?
"Aren't you here to investigate the Lin Capital case? Why do you still want to go to the palace? "
Jing Rong explained, "You know that the Imperial Duke belongs to the imperial family. You should understand the importance of this case. Don't worry, the day after tomorrow is only Concubine Xiao's birthday. There will be a banquet in the palace. You only need to show your face. After Imperial Father and I recommend you, if you want to leave the palace, I will immediately send someone to escort you out."
"Must I go?"
"I have already agreed."
Hey, hey, hey, I'm the person involved. Shouldn't you at least ask for my permission?
However, Ji Yunshu thought about it. Jing Rong couldn't refuse the Emperor's edict.
Jing Rong hurriedly added, "If you want to bring Wei Yi into the palace, that's fine."
"There's no need." She flatly refused. "Now that he has entered the capital, there's no need to bring him into the palace."
"Don't worry. On the day we enter the palace, I will order people to take good care of him. Doesn't he like to eat meat? I will send people to bring him to eat the best meat in the capital. "
Ji Yunshu was not moved by this guarantee.
