I'm Afraid That I'll Die
"Then, did I appear in your dream?"
Jing Rong asked.
She met his gaze and pursed her lips. Then, she lifted her chin and said, "Yes, I definitely did. But, I didn't appear in real life. I appeared in a book."
"In a book?"
If a character that existed in history didn't appear in a book, would she want to soak in formalin?
But when the words came to her mouth, they became …
"Because the place in my dream was a long, long time in the future. Your Highness, of course, will appear in the history books."
"This Prince is confused by you."
"I'll explain it to you later."
"That's fine. In any case, the future is long!"
His words always carried a hint of teasing.
Ji Yunshu was always left speechless by his words.
Jing Rong held her hand tightly and gazed at her with deep affection. "Having you is already this Prince's greatest blessing. Even if the historian records this Prince's name in the annals of history in the future, you will definitely be included in it because you will be this Prince's Princess Rong."
"When did I say that I wanted to be your Princess Rong?"
"No one else but you!"
Ji Yunshu shyly stared at him with her ink-black eyes.
She solemnly said, "I chose to be with you, so I'm naturally prepared to endure all kinds of hardships. But, you are a prince, and I'm just a commoner. I don't want glory, splendor, wealth, or treasures. I only want to live with my beloved in the mountains, retreating to the green plains and snow-capped mountains. We can rely on each other all day long, hand in hand, working at sunrise and resting at sunset! This is enough. But, if all of this requires you to give up your status as a prince and become a commoner like me, are you willing to do so? "
It was as if she was asking about the country or the beauty.
Which would you choose?
Jing Rong pulled her into his embrace. His cold ink-black eyes seemed to be condensed with ten thousand volts of electricity, burning hot and anxious.
He said, "Isn't your wish also my wish? Believe me, that day will definitely come. "
"Really?"
Jing Rong firmly nodded. Like a child, he miserly said, "But, we can't bring Wei Yi. That brat is too troublesome."
Ji Yunshu immediately got up from his embrace.
"But I promised Aunt Wei that I would take good care of Wei Yi."
Jing Rong pondered for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, then marry that brat off as soon as possible. Don't worry, this Prince will find a good family for him. Looking at Wei Yi's good looks, it shouldn't be a problem. When the time comes, this Prince will give him a big gift. I guarantee that he won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life. He will be happy and give birth to many descendants!"
Brother, Wei Yi is a man!
Are you blind?
Ji Yunshu blushed with shame and pushed him away. "Can't you be more serious?"
"I'm serious."
"I can't tell!"
Ji Yunshu retorted.
This lass had quite a temper.
Jing Rong chuckled inwardly. Hence, he gave in.
"Good, good, good. This Prince promises you to bring Wei Yi along. After all, that child is quite cute. In the future, when we have children, we'll need an older brother to play with!"
"Was your brain kicked by a donkey? Are you burning up? "Ji Yunshu reached out and touched his burning forehead with the back of her hand.
Jing Rong grabbed her hand and frowned in a serious manner. "I think I'm really burning up. That's why I need you to accompany me for the rest of my life. If you leave, I'm afraid that this Prince will die without a doubt."
Die without a doubt!
'Your words are too serious.'
However, Ji Yunshu was still moved to the point of confusion.
She frowned. "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes!"
Jing Rong was very obedient.
Only then did Ji Yunshu smile. She rested her head on his strong and sturdy shoulder, gazing at the huge round moon in the sky.
"I think I really can't go back. That's why I have to stay here for the rest of my life. I'm destined to follow you. But why am I so unlucky?"
Just as she finished speaking …
Thud!
Jing Rong used his finger to hit her forehead.
He said in an angry and tsundere tone, "Do you know how many women in this world want to climb into this Prince's bed, but they don't have the chance? You should be happy that you slept with this Prince again and again!"
"Who slept with you?"
"At the bottom of Liang Mountain, in this Prince's courtyard. Maybe later …"
"Stop."
Ji Yunshu rolled her eyes at him. She was too lazy to talk anymore.
The next moment, Jing Rong shamelessly pulled her into his arms.
He pushed her!
Hugged her!
Back and forth a few times!
…
The next day.
Jing Rong returned to his residence and immediately sent people to do something.
When night fell …
He lit a lamp in his room and sat at the table, writing something.
He wore a plain embroidered robe with a crown on his head and a grey hair bun draped over his shoulders. His eyes drooped. His usually cold and stern face now had a gentle scholar's air.
Quite interesting!
He looked like a well-educated scholar!
Lu Jiang hurriedly came and stood in the middle of the door. He bowed and cupped his hands.
"Your Highness!"
He called out.
Jing Rong didn't respond. He continued writing as if he was lost in thought.
It was only when she finished the last stroke on the paper that she raised her eyes to look at Lu Jiang.
"How is it?"
"Before Old General Li entered the capital, he didn't show any signs of abnormality. His troops in Qingzhou also didn't move a single soldier. This time, he only brought a few attendants with him. There was nothing else."
He spoke one by one.
Jing Rong hooked his right sleeve and gently placed the brush on the brush holder.
There was no response for a long time.
Finally, the ink on the paper dried!
He picked up the piece of paper and smiled as he admired the poem he had written.
"Hmm." He said, "I don't know if Yunshu will like this poem."
His face was full of worry.
It turned out that he was writing a love letter to Ji Yunshu!
Lu Jiang remained standing respectfully. Occasionally, he would raise his head and see the happiness on his Highness' face.
'Your Highness is indeed poisoned by love. Moreover, it's an incurable disease.'
While Jing Rong was admiring his masterpiece, he casually said, "That old man has lived in this world for a long time.
"After all, that old fellow has lived in this world for a long time. Furthermore, he is an elder of three dynasties. He will definitely be very cautious in his actions. So, on one hand, you should secretly send people to watch the Li Residence's every move. On the other hand … watch Li Gang."
Li Gang!
Old General Li's son!
'Oh my god, his name is really Li Gang!'
Lu Jiang was puzzled. "Li Gang is still in Qingzhou. He didn't come even after his daughter died. Moreover, he didn't follow Old General Li to the capital. Why would Your Highness send people to monitor him?"
Jing Rong restrained the happiness on his face.
His expression suddenly turned cold. His long and narrow eyes were like a bamboo leaf, sharp and incisive.
"Li Gang may seem like a scoundrel, but he is that old man's son. After all, like father, like son. So, if that old man really has an ulterior motive, maybe you can find it on his son."
"This subordinate understands."
"Don't let Yunshu know about this. Let her stay in Bamboo Creek Garden and draw the portrait of the skeleton."
