If You Touch Her, I'll Kill You
"Does your injury hurt?"
Jing Rong shook his head. "Don't worry, it won't kill me."
Stubborn!
Jing Rong's stubbornness wasn't a new thing.
If it weren't for the wooden stakes separating them, this pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks would have already hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Mo Ruo squinted his eyes and squatted down. He took out a white medicine bottle from his waist and placed it on the ground. "I brought this medicine especially for you. You two should hurry up and get down to business. We can't stay here for long, Prince Yi will come at any time."
Ji Yunshu wiped her tears with her sleeves and picked up the medicine on the ground. She wanted to wipe Jing Rong's wound, but he gently pushed her away.
"Mo Ruo is right, let's hurry up and leave." He added, "Prince Yi won't kill me. He won't be able to get anything out of me, so he won't be able to do anything to me. When the time comes, Imperial Father will give the order to see me. At that time, I will explain everything to Imperial Father. If he believes me, he will definitely let me go."
Ji Yunshu asked, "And if he doesn't believe me?"
"Then we'll leave it to fate." Jing Rong's reply was very casual. He called her name again and said in a serious tone, "Promise me that you won't get involved in this matter. If anything happens to me, you must immediately leave the capital with Wei Yi. Lu Jiang and Lang Po will escort you to a safe place. From now on, don't come back to the capital."
He was clearly telling her what to do after her death.
Ji Yunshu shook her head and firmly said, "Nothing will happen to you, and I won't let anything happen to you."
"Yunshu, listen to me. You must leave the capital safely. If anything happens to me, Jing Yi won't let you go. Imperial Father won't either. As long as you can leave the capital safely, I'm willing to die."
"I forbid you from saying that." Ji Yunshu rebuked him. "From Jinjiang to the capital, you've always protected me. Today, I won't leave you for my own safety. You were the one who said to hold my hand and grow old together."
"Yunshu …"
"This vow will never change. It's your promise."
Jing Rong used all his strength to hold her hand. His bloodshot eyes became even redder.
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath and firmly said, "I will definitely find the evidence to save you."
Jing Rong's body was already riddled with injuries, and he gradually lost the strength to speak. His entire weight was supported by the wooden stake. He opened his mouth, but his dried and bloody lips were unable to utter a single word.
Mo Ruo was anxious. "The most important thing now is to find evidence. Since that old fox dared to kill the Emperor, he must have done his best."
Ji Yunshu explained, "The thing that caught fire wasn't the lanterns, but the iron wires that hung the lanterns. The iron wires were stained with gunpowder, and when the candlelight in the lanterns heated up to a certain degree, the iron wires caught fire. The iron wires are the key to this incident, and also the only evidence."
"You mean, you want to take a look at that batch of wire?"
She nodded.
Mo Ruo frowned and said, "The entire Chengqing Hall is probably in ruins. Even if there was evidence, it would have been burned away. How are you going to get in?"
This was indeed the key.
But then, her eyes brightened. "Don't forget, there's another person in the palace."
"Kong Yu?"
When Jing Rong was in trouble, Kong Yu immediately sent a letter out of the palace. One could imagine that her desire to save Jing Rong was no less than Ji Yunshu's. It shouldn't be difficult to enter Chengqing Hall and check the lanterns with Kong Yu.
In any case, she was a princess!
But, suddenly …
Jing Rong suddenly frowned, his face full of confusion. He wanted to say something, but hesitated. He lowered his voice and said, "I suddenly thought of a very serious problem."
Huh?
He continued, "Old General Li wants to kill the Emperor with that batch of lanterns and iron wires? Isn't he too uncertain? "
Ji Yunshu felt an inexplicable chill.
Ji Yunshu was startled, and her brain spun rapidly. "You mean …"
"Perhaps … His goal isn't Imperial Father." Jing Rong's heart began to waver.
Ah!
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the prison cell. It was coming closer and closer.
Mo Ruo was vigilant, and he pulled Ji Yun up.
Ji Yunshu quickly put on her cloak to cover her face, and quietly hid behind Mo Ruo.
Jing Yi rushed over, his face full of murderous intent. He looked at Jing Rong, who was still in the cell, and heaved a sigh of relief.
But then, he raised his hand and slapped the face of the guard who had been guarding outside the prison.
He angrily rebuked, "Why didn't you inform me that Young Master Mo was here? Young Master Mo is a noble, how could you let him come to this filthy place where criminals are imprisoned? "
This slap was very ruthless, and there was a clear palm print on the guard's face.
The guard bowed his head and apologized, "This subordinate knows his mistake."
"Men, drag him out and beat him fifty times."
"Yes!"
The guard was forcefully dragged out of the room.
This was clearly a warning to others!
Mo Ruo watched the play and secretly laughed at the guard's mental retardation.
"Just a small guard? Why is Prince Yi so nervous? I just came in to take a look. First, I didn't bring anything in, and second, I didn't take anything out. "
He spread his hands to the side.
'See, see, I really didn't steal anything.'
Jing Yi smiled and glanced at Jing Rong in the cell. "Young Master Mo has the Emperor's special decree. Within the imperial palace, you can enter and leave as you please. But today, the one imprisoned in the Imperial Prison is a serious criminal. If you lose him, this Prince will also be punished. Since Young Master Mo has come in to take a look, you should quickly leave."
"Fine."
He answered without hesitation.
After he finished speaking, he pulled Ji Yunshu and prepared to leave. But when Ji Yunshu passed by Jing Yi, her arm was pulled.
Great strength!
Strong!
She staggered back a few steps, and the belt around her neck suddenly loosened. Her cloak fell to the ground, revealing her delicate and pretty face.
Mo Ruo wanted to pull Ji Yunshu to his side, but he was stopped by the guard.
"So it's Teacher Ji!" Jing Yi raised his eyebrows. "I didn't expect Teacher Ji to have such a good relationship with Prince Rong. You took such a big risk to come to the prison. This Prince really envies Prince Rong for having you as his aide."
"I broke in on my own. It has nothing to do with others."
Ji Yunshu wriggled, but she had no strength to unbuckle her shoulder.
"Very good!" With a fierce expression, he ordered, "Guards, take him down."
The guard obeyed and immediately restrained Ji Yunshu.
"Release him!"
Jing Rong roared with difficulty. His voice was deep and resounding.
As if he had grasped Jing Rong's weak spot, Jing Yi's smile became even more sinister.
"Release?" He smirked and raised his hand, pointing at Mo Ruo. "Young Master Mo has the privilege to enter and leave the palace without being obstructed. But Teacher Ji doesn't. Trespassing into the prison is a capital offense."
In the next moment, he grabbed the wooden pole with both hands and angrily shouted.
