After all, his conscience was eaten by a dog.
Su Ziluo's lips curled into a disdainful smile when he heard those words.
A cold light flashed in his eyes as his gaze fell on a banyan tree outside the window.
"Sacrificing one person in exchange for the lives of countless people. Isn't this a good choice? Besides, Miss Ji should know your big brother very well, right? You should know what kind of person he is. He obediently stayed in the Ministry of Justice's prison because he is not afraid of His Majesty's condemnation. Even if he was convicted, he would still be able to escape in the end. "
Ji Li didn't rely on brute force to become the State Secretary.
Su Ziluo was right. Even if Ji Li was the murderer, he would still find another way out.
Otherwise, why would he obediently stay in the Ministry of Justice?
Logically speaking, Ji Yunshu should've agreed to his request since it had already come to this.
On one hand, she could confirm whether Su Ziluo was Ji Pei or not.
On the other hand, the two countries would no longer be at war. There would be no more deaths.
Qujiang only wanted to take back the two cities that belonged to them.
It was that simple!
But for Ji Yunshu, no matter what she chose, she was destined to be condemned by her conscience for the rest of her life.
Su Ziluo didn't feel anxious when he saw her hesitation.
"It doesn't matter. No matter what Miss Ji chooses, I will wait for your decision."
After he finished speaking, he prepared to leave.
Ji Yunshu's heart tightened. Just as Su Ziluo was about to knock on the door to signal Li 'er to open it, she called out to him.
"Ji Pei!"
At that moment, Su Ziluo's hand froze in mid-air.
His body stiffened.
Ji Yunshu continued, "I don't know if you are him or not. If you were him, why didn't you look for me in the past two years? I couldn't imagine that the person I waited for two years would say these words to me today. I only remember that the Ji Pei I knew was a person whose hands were used to write and not stained with blood. I don't know if he became a person who would do anything to achieve his goals. If he is … I really hope that he died two years ago. "
Tears fell from her eyes as she finished speaking.
There was nothing worse than heartache.
Her Ji Pei was not like that.
At that moment, she really wished that Su Ziluo was not Ji Pei.
Even if Ji Pei was already dead.
For a long time, Su Ziluo did not respond. He curled his fingers and gently knocked on the door.
Hearing the noise, Li 'er opened the door and pushed him out.
Before leaving, Su Ziluo glanced at the trembling Ji Yunshu.
"I'll tell you everything you want to know after you finish that sentence."
With that, he left!
Ji Yunshu's tears fell uncontrollably, one by one, each big drop!
She stayed in the room for a long time. Her hands were still stained with sticky blood. Her footsteps were heavy as she left the relay station in a daze.
A person was walking aimlessly on the street. His shoulder had been hit many times by people, but he didn't know the pain.
But …
The weather was not in their favor, and it started to rain.
Coincidentally, an umbrella fell on her head.
She glanced sideways and saw Shi Zijin standing beside her with an umbrella. The umbrella was almost on her head, and half of her shoulder was drenched in the rain.
Ji Yunshu raised her hand and pushed the umbrella in her direction.
She asked, "You heard everything?"
Her voice was weak and hoarse.
Shi Zijin nodded.
"Then … if it were you, what would you do?"
She shook her head.
"Do you not know? Or do you want to tell me the truth? "
She shook her head again.
Ji Yunshu lowered her brows, and the corners of her mouth curved into a cold smile. She didn't say anything else and continued walking forward.
"Where are we going?" Shi Zijin asked.
"To Yuhua Pavillion. We'll go back when the rain stops."
"Okay!"
When she arrived at Yuhua Pavillion, she was already soaked through.
When a servant saw her, he quickly brought several heaters and placed them beside her. He also fetched a large blanket and draped it over her.
Thoughtful!
As her body gradually warmed up, she looked around, but Wei Yi was nowhere to be seen.
On the contrary, Mo Ruo was unusually energetic today. After seeing a few patients, he washed his hands and walked over.
He glanced at Ji Yunshu. "Why are you drenched? Did Jing Rong kick you out? "
She sat quietly and didn't reply.
'What's wrong with this woman today? Yesterday, she was so eloquent and had endless things to say. Why is she so listless today? '
He pulled over a chair and sat opposite her. He raised his voice and asked, "Tell me, what's wrong? While I'm awake, I might be able to come up with a plan. "
After a moment of silence, Ji Yunshu raised her pale face and asked, "If you have to go against your conscience and do something that can save countless lives, would you be willing to do it?"
Mo Ruo was stumped. He frowned and rubbed his chin, thinking for a moment.
"If you asked me to choose between a beauty or a fine wine, I would definitely tell you that I would choose the wine. But … conscience and life? This is a difficult question for me. "
He had a distressed look on his face.
Then, his eyes brightened. "I should choose life. After all, my conscience has been eaten by a dog."
Pfft!
Ji Yunshu almost spat out blood.
She knew she had asked the wrong person.
She sighed and didn't say anything else.
Mo Ruo shook his head when he saw her pale face. He got up and went to the backyard. Not long after, he returned with a bowl of hot medicine.
"Drink it all. Don't leave a single drop!"
Ji Yunshu didn't know what kind of medicine was in the bowl, but she gulped it down.
Before long, her clothes were dry and she left the blanket behind. Before she left, she asked Mo Ruo, "Where is Wei Yi?"
Mo Ruo poked the top of his head with his finger.
"He's taking a bath!"
He didn't explain further.
Ji Yunshu didn't ask further.
After returning to the Rong Estate, she locked herself in her room and didn't allow anyone to enter.
Jing Rong didn't come to disturb her, probably because he needed time to digest his words with Su Ziluo at the Peach Blossom Spring.
Late at night.
Ji Yunshu opened the window in her room, and the cold wind blew in. She couldn't help but shiver.
She stared at the dark starry sky, lost in thought.
Her mind was filled with Su Ziluo's words. Every word and sentence was deeply rooted in her heart.
"Ji Pei, will you leave me?"
"I won't. Even if we are separated one day, I will definitely come and find you."
His words from back then also resounded in her mind at this moment.
She heard it again and again.
"As long as you say the word, I will tell you where Ji Pei is. Is he alive? Or is he dead? I will tell you everything you want to know. "
Ji Yunshu's words were like tens of thousands of ants wantonly gnawing at her heart. It hurt and made her panic.
Until the next day.
She sent someone to inform the capital governor that the culprit had been found. She had already prepared the case and sent it directly to the capital governor for him to deliver to the emperor.
When Jing Rong heard about it, he hurriedly rushed over.
"You know the culprit?"
Ji Yunshu nodded indifferently.
"Who is it?"
"Ji Li."
