After hiding for more than twenty years, he no longer wanted to hide.
However, Jing Rong remained silent.
He only listened.
"We ask you, do you have any thoughts in your heart?"
Jing Rong replied, "This son doesn't dare to have any thoughts."
"What if I make you think?"
"This son has always done everything within his power. I don't dare to overstep my boundaries. If it comes, I won't block it. If it doesn't, I won't seize it."
In other words, if the throne belonged to him, he would definitely seize it. If it wasn't, he wouldn't want it even if it was presented to him.
Qi Zhen Emperor nodded, satisfied with Jing Rong's words. "Mm, We understand what you mean."
With that, he waved his hand. "Go back. Remember what I said just now."
"Yes!"
Jing Rong bowed and left the inner chamber.
From the beginning to the end, Qi Zhen Emperor did not mention Jing Hua's rebellion.
After all, Jing Hua was a beast he kept by his side. He didn't want to talk about such a scandal.
Of course, Jing Rong didn't want to ask either.
When he came out, he was still calm and indifferent. No one could guess what he was thinking. They only knew that Jing Rong was too obedient.
So obedient that he didn't know how to resist!
He only knew how to obey!
He was a clawless tiger that Qi Zhen Emperor kept by his side!
But what was different from the past was that this time, there was a trace of power and control in his eyes!
His hands were tightly clenched the moment he came out of his robe.
He didn't want to hide anymore.
After more than twenty years, he didn't want to hide anymore.
Now, he couldn't even protect the woman he loved.
If he wasn't a mediocre person, then what was he?
Jing Yi, don't you like to fight? Fine, I'll satisfy you!
However, as soon as he left Fuyang Hall, he heard a piece of news.
The Crown Prince was dead!
He died in the East Palace!
When the news came out, it shocked the entire palace.
It was said that she had hanged herself. Her neck was twisted around the white satin, and her body was suspended in mid-air. Her legs were perfectly straight, and her tongue was curled up above her lips. Her pair of round eyes stared out with all their might, and her whole face was red and swollen.
It was a tragic sight.
The entire hall seemed to be filled with a gust of cold wind, strange and horrifying.
No one dared to enter. The few eunuchs and serving girls left in the Eastern Palace knelt outside the door, all prostrated on the ground, their bodies trembling.
If the Crown Prince died, the entire Eastern Palace would be buried with him. How could these people not be afraid?
When Qi Zhen Emperor heard the news, he fainted on the spot. Then, an imperial physician was summoned.
The ministers and princes all rushed to the East Palace. The Crown Prince was also carried down and placed on the bed, covered with a white cloth.
The courtiers took a few glances and then dispersed. After all, it was a fallen Crown Prince who had died. It was not a pity!
Jing Yi wrinkled his nose in disdain.
It's good that he died!
In any case, he was no different from a corpse when he was alive.
At this moment, Kong Yu was standing outside her room, looking in the direction of the hall where the Crown Prince's corpse lay.
At this moment, she was still wearing that bright red robe. Her slender and tall body seemed to be on the verge of collapsing in the breeze, as if she would collapse at any moment.
In fact, just two hours ago, she sent someone out of the palace to Bamboo Creek Garden to give Ji Yunshu a slip of paper.
After Ji Yunshu saw the note, she took the token Kong Yu gave her and entered the palace. Fortunately, the Crown Prince was dead, and the guards in the Eastern Palace had been removed.
Therefore, no one paid attention to Ji Yunshu's arrival.
When she arrived at Kong Yu's courtyard, she saw her standing under the eaves. She was dressed in red, gold, silver, and jade, and her pale face was filled with heart-wrenching melancholy.
Such a woman did not belong in the Imperial Palace!
Staying here for a day seemed like it would take her life.
When she saw Ji Yunshu walking in, she met her gaze.
She said gently, "You've come!"
Ji Yunshu nodded and walked to her side without saying a word.
The two of them stood like this for a long time.
Kong Yu looked at the dripping rain on the eaves and asked, "This should be the first time I've met Miss Ji like this, right?"
"Yes!"
"Actually, I wanted to talk to you a long time ago, but I didn't even have the chance before I came to the Imperial Palace."
Her voice was mournful.
There was also a hint of relief in it.
Ji Yunshu turned to look at her, "Are you happy?"
She nodded, "Happy, really happy."
Ji Yunshu did not speak, intending to continue listening …
"The happiest time was when I was young, when I was with Ah Rong. Although I was one year older than him and took care of him like an older sister, Ah Rong also took good care of me. At that time, I was really happy. We were inseparable, without any worries. Ever since I was young, I had set my heart on him. I thought that when I grew up, I could marry him and be his wife. I would be a good wife, a good wife and a good wife. After I grew up, I still firmly believed in it."
She paused.
"But it wasn't until I met you that I understood that some feelings can't be determined by time."
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth maintained a faint smile.
Ji Yunshu listened quietly, still not saying a word.
Kong Yu said, "Miss Ji, Ah Rong really loved you. My intuition can't be wrong."
She was a sensitive person, and her intuition had never been wrong!
Ji Yunshu said, "Those memories must have been wonderful, right?"
"Yes!"
Kong Yu nodded heavily and sighed, her whole body relaxed a lot. She turned to look at Ji Yunshu with a faint smile, "I think you already know everything, right? That's why you came to the palace when you saw my note. "
Ji Yunshu said, "At that time, the child by Teacher Su's side told me, but I didn't know what he said at that time. It wasn't until two hours ago that I understood."
"…"
"That child wanted to tell me that General Yuchi's death had nothing to do with Teacher Su. Even if General Yuchi was prepared to commit suicide, your appearance had indeed disrupted all his plans. Fortunately, you killed General Yuchi, so everything fell into place. At the very least, Teacher Su achieved his objective at that time, but he took all the blame and took the blame for you."
Ji Yunshu's words were very calm …
But just two hours ago, when she finally understood what Li 'er wanted to say, her heart ached so much that she almost fainted.
Fortunately, Su Ziluo had safely returned to Qujiang.
When Kong Yu heard her words, the stone in her heart fell to the ground.
She said, "I was a deserter, so this matter should have been borne by me. That Teacher Su is my benefactor. If he didn't cover up the fact that I went to the relay station, I think I would already be dead."
"Yes, he is indeed your benefactor, but to me, I owe him a lifetime."
Kong Yu didn't understand, but she didn't ask.
Ji Yunshu was silent for a moment.
