You are the most important person to me.
Jing Rong couldn't help but smile when he saw her frightened appearance, like a frightened kitten.
He stood up and walked towards Ji Yunshu. Suddenly, he sat down at the table and poured himself two cups of tea. He gently pushed one of the cups to the side.
His knuckles lightly rapped on the table!
He motioned for her to come and sit down.
Ji Yunshu shook her head. "There's no need."
"If you don't sit properly, how am I going to talk to you in detail? Could it be that you wish to speak in the same way as before? "
"Of course not."
"Then come and sit down. This King doesn't like to look up to others."
Very arrogant!
Hey hey hey, you're getting a little too full of yourself!
Ji Yunshu reluctantly walked over, lifted her butt, and gently sat down.
However, she turned her body sideways and only used the corner of her eyes to look at the man with an evil smile in front of her.
Jing Rong turned the teacup in his hand and leisurely said, as if he was going to have a long talk.
"Actually, Kong Yu and I are somewhat similar."
Ji Yunshu remained silent.
"Ever since she was a child, the thing she was most afraid of was implicating others. She knew that I wouldn't let her marry to Qujiang, so she deliberately told me that she was willing to marry to Qujiang."
Ji Yunshu remained silent. She wanted to continue listening.
Instead, he took a sip of tea and slowly said, "She knew what I was thinking. She also knew that it was you who suggested it."
"Marry her?"
"Yes, if I really tell Imperial Father that I will marry her, he will definitely be angry and the consequences will be severe. Even if Kong Yu doesn't go to Qujiang in the end, I won't be able to escape the torture. You know, my Imperial Father is a suspicious person."
He was a suspicious person!
This was a common problem of emperors!
Ji Yunshu began to sympathize with him. Although her idea was the only way, it was just as Jing Rong had said. The consequences would be dire.
In the worst case, he might even be stripped of his status as a prince!
At the very least, he would be flogged dozens of times!
So, she came up with the only solution, but it was also the stupidest idea.
Fortunately, just as Mo Ruo had said, Kong Yu was the smartest of the three, thus she was able to avoid a potential disaster.
"All these years, I've never expressed my feelings for Kong Yu to Imperial Father. If I were to ask for her hand in marriage at this critical juncture, both you and I have underestimated the consequences. If I hadn't gone to see her before the banquet, I'm afraid you would have been implicated as well. I can't let anything happen to you before the Lin Capital case is solved!"
Ugh!
So —
Ji Yunshu was shocked. "This is the reason you promised Kong Yu not to marry her?"
"Yes, I didn't want Imperial Father to blame me and implicate you."
How concise and comprehensive!
His words caused Ji Yunshu's heart to tremble, and she felt a little guilty.
"Now, do you still think this Prince is heartless?"
"You don't have to worry about me."
"This King cannot do it."
"…"
"You are the most important person to this king."
"…"
Ji Yunshu lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
Jing Rong stood up and straightened his back. After thinking for a moment, he earnestly said, "Yunshu, you must always remember that even if this Prince has to go through water and tread on fire, I will never let anything happen to you."
After saying this, he left the room.
Creak —
The moment the door closed, Ji Yunshu was dazed for a long time. Her mind was blank.
Only when the door was opened again did she regain her senses. She glanced sideways and saw two maidservants enter, each holding a candlestick.
When he came in, he said, "His Highness has instructed us to add two more lamps to Sir's room so that Sir can see more clearly and avoid falling."
"Put it down."
"Yes!"
The maidservants put down the lamps and silently retreated.
Two lamps were added to the room, making it much brighter. Occasionally, two gusts of wind would blow in through the cracks in the window, swaying the candles …
Ji Yunshu sat in front of the table for a long time.
，
Unconsciously, she thought of the tassel in Su Ziluo's hand.
An idea gradually formed in her mind.
Su Ziluo is Ji Pei?
But Li Shiyan clearly said that his leg was injured five years ago, unless …
His leg is fine, then he must be Su Ziluo.
That feeling grew stronger and stronger.
She was unable to sleep the whole night. The next morning, she immediately went to the relay station to see Su Ziluo.
But she was told that Su Ziluo was not at the relay station.
"Then where did he go?" She asked.
The soldier did not want to talk to her, but he still replied, "Teacher didn't tell me anything before he left."
She had no choice but to return.
Just as she returned, she heard from Lu Jiang that Jing Rong had entered the palace. The Emperor came early in the morning to deliver the imperial edict. Only then did she know that Su Ziluo was also summoned to the palace.
…
Inside the palace.
Yuchi Lin's death had been the focus of attention in the court since yesterday, and all the important officials had been mobilized.
Su Ziluo, as the representative of Qujiang, was pushed into Zhangzhi hall.
He looked very calm, and there was even a faint smile on his face.
But that smile was extremely strange, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Qi Zhen Emperor had seen many people, but the moment he saw Su Ziluo, he was shocked by the wheelchair-bound man.
The princes and courtiers on both sides of the hall all looked at him.
Crown Prince Jing Hua's face was full of disdain.
Jing Yi narrowed his eyes, full of curiosity.
As for Jing Rong, he was expressionless.
However, that expression was filled with a sense of scrutiny. Was this person really Ji Pei?
But Ji Yunshu said he wasn't!
At this time, Qi Zhen Emperor spoke, "We will handle this incident fairly. We will not let General Yuchi die in vain!"
Su Ziluo raised his tired eyes and slowly said, "Then, how does Your Majesty intend to handle this?"
"If the murderer is really War Secretary Ji, We will handle this matter impartially and according to the laws of the Great Lin."
"A life for a life?"
"Yes!"
"Apart from killing people?" Su Ziluo's tone was low, and no trace of emotion could be heard.
Although Qi Zhen Emperor was surprised by his words, he was even more certain that this person was not simple.
"We do not understand Teacher Su's meaning. Today, all the courtiers of our Great Lin's imperial court are present. If you have something to say, there is no harm in saying it."
Su Ziluo said, "At this moment, the most important thing is to find out who the real murderer is. After that, we will report it to the king of Qujiang and let him decide. After all, I am only a small military official and cannot make any decisions. "
Su Ziluo shook his head.
The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
