Who didn't make a mistake?
Jing Yi's eyes brightened as soon as he finished speaking. His fingers lightly tapped on the table.
"Oh, you're talking about the case in Yufu County three years ago? When the Supreme Court Chancellor came to visit me, he said that there was no substantial evidence for the case. According to the Great Lin's laws, the case cannot be reopened. The Supreme Court Chancellor is also afraid to take responsibility, so please don't make things difficult for him. "
Jing Yi spoke like a sage.
Jing Rong clearly understood Jing Yi's tricks. "Jing Yi, don't beat around the bush."
I won't fall for it!
Jing Yi heaved a sigh of relief. "Fine, since you don't want to beat around the bush, I won't."
He brushed his sleeves and raised his head to look at Jing Rong. "This case cannot be opened for public or private reasons. Moreover, Teacher Ji is neither a member of the imperial court nor an official coroner. It is unreasonable for him to take over this case. The only way is for her to personally beat the imperial drum. This way, the case can be investigated and Teacher Ji can take over. There is no better way than this." “
"You know she can't take forty lashes." “
Jing Yi said, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here today."
Ah!
This game of chess, both of them had predicted it.
Jing Yi picked up the piece of paper he had written on the table and stood up. He walked around the table in front of him and showed Jing Rong the piece of calligraphy he had written.
At the same time, he said, "I still remember when I was a child and lived in the Eighth Prince's Mansion, Father Emperor once praised me for having the best handwriting among all his sons. But the piece of calligraphy that you sent to him was actually stolen by me. I still clearly remember the words you wrote on the paper."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Man is in this place. Emptiness is reality, reality is emptiness. The heavens are capable, and men are capable. Wisdom does not fail, and the heart is content. Yes or no, it is all up to the will of the heavens." “
As he spoke, Jing Yi had already folded the piece of paper in his hand and burned it in the candle flame.
A faint burning smell pierced the nose. It was truly unpleasant.
Jing Rong looked straight ahead.
Silence.
Imperial Father knew that it was you who wrote it and that I stole it from you, but he didn't say anything. He only said that my handwriting was beautiful. Jing Rong, Imperial Father has always known that you don't want to fight for power. Therefore, Imperial Father is giving you a chance to become the person you speak of. Yufu County is a chance for you to leave the court and the capital to be a wise and content person. "
He continued, "As long as you promise to tell Imperial Father that you're willing to go to Yufu to investigate the missing disaster relief funds, then everything will be resolved. With just a word from me, the Supreme Court Chancellor will agree to file the case and specially appoint Teacher Ji to investigate. You can also go to Yufu County with him. It's the best of both worlds, isn't it?"
He had to admit that it was indeed a good idea.
After listening to his long speech, Jing Rong took a deep breath and tilted his head to look at him.
She said, "From the beginning, you made up your mind."
"Yes!"
"What if your idea had failed?"
"As it turned out, you came, so I didn't fail." Jing Yi smiled confidently, "Actually, there's no need for you to fight with me. I know that Jing Hua's death may have provoked you. You want to avenge him and even want to stop me from becoming the Crown Prince. That's why you have one foot in the fray. But Jing Rong, if you can spend the rest of your life with the person you love, wouldn't it be a joy in life? You and Teacher Ji can go to Yufu County and be a husband and wife who don't care about worldly affairs. No matter how big the storm in the capital is, it has nothing to do with you. You can also live peacefully as a free and unfettered prince. After I become the Emperor, I won't kill you. "
Who would believe him?
But in the current situation, Jing Rong had to believe him.
This was a deal he had to make.
"If I promise you, will you get the Supreme Court to file the case again?"
"Of course!" Jing Yi was very straightforward.
Jing Rong said, "Good. I will go to the palace tomorrow to see Imperial Father. I will take over the Yufu County disaster relief funds. You have to keep your word."
"A gentleman's word carries enormous weight."
His goal was achieved.
Jing Rong didn't stay any longer and left.
As soon as he left, Jing Yi went to inform the Chancellor of the Supreme Court to affix his seal on the running script handed by the Capital Governor, agreeing to file the case again.
Jing Rong didn't go back on his word. The next morning, he went to the palace to see the Emperor.
He took the initiative to ask for permission to go to Yufu County.
"You really want to go to Yufu?" Qi Zhen Emperor asked.
Jing Rong lowered his head. "Your son is willing to go. “
"If that's the case, We will allow it."
At least try to persuade him to stay!
But it was just as Jing Yi said. In fact, Qi Zhen Emperor's ultimate goal for the Yufu County disaster relief funds was for Jing Rong to go. Although it was secretly an exile, the so-called exile was just a move away from the capital. Jing Rong could live as a free and unfettered prince there and not be embroiled in politics. It could also be considered a form of protection from Qi Zhen Emperor.
After all, Jing Yi's power was starting to grow. With the Crown Prince dead, Jing Yi's next step would definitely be to deal with Jing Rong.
Qi Zhen Emperor had lost the Crown Prince and could not afford to lose another son. Therefore, he thought of this method. Sending Jing Rong away from the capital was indeed a good idea.
Soon, the imperial edict was issued. Jing Rong carried the imperial edict and left the palace.
Rong Estate.
Ji Yunshu lay in bed for a day and night. When she finally woke up, the pain in her back made her frown involuntarily.
She sat up on the bed in pain. The little maid put a few soft pillows on her back.
Just in case her back hurt.
Mo Ruo hadn't left since yesterday. When he was bored, he ordered someone to warm up a few pots of wine and swaggered around the room drinking.
At this moment, he was holding a small cup in his hand, twirling it around.
Then, as if he was talking to himself, he said, "The most difficult thing in this world is love! “
Ji Yunshu's empty and bloodshot eyes looked at him. She understood what he meant and opened her pale lips slightly.
"I was wrong?"
"No, you were wrong!" Mo Ruo put down the cup and looked at her. "In this world, everyone makes different choices and walks different paths. You can sacrifice your life for someone you don't know. That's your life, not your fault."
She smiled bitterly. "Perhaps, I really should be beaten to death. “
"If you die, Jing Rong won't be able to live either. You have your choice, and he can also make his choice for you. Miss Ji, I admire you very much. Perhaps in the eyes of others, you are too stubborn, stubborn to the point of selfishness, but it is precisely because of you that we can solve one case after another. The world needs you as much as it needs a doctor. Who hasn't been sick before? Who hasn't made a mistake? "
"Then can you tell me? What is Jing Rong's choice? "
Mo Ruo was silent for a moment.
