"To Yufu!"
Ji Yunshu's heart tightened. She clutched the sheets in her hands and frowned, "What happened?"
"You don't know?"
Yes, she really didn't know.
Jing Rong didn't tell her about the disaster relief silvers in Yufu County.
Not even a word about it!
Mo Ruo shook his head gently, got up, and walked to her, "You really don't know that His Majesty intends to choose between Prince Yi and Jing Rong to investigate the disaster relief silvers in Yufu County?"
Heaven is my witness, she really didn't know!
She shook her head slightly.
Mo Ruo suddenly understood and explained, "The disaster relief silvers incident has been happening in Yufu County for several years, but it has never been solved. Moreover, all the officials who went to Yufu County to investigate the case died on their way back to the capital, either from illness or exhaustion. This time, His Majesty intends to choose between Prince Yi and Jing Rong. It's obvious that he wants one of them to leave the capital and go to Yufu, which is equivalent to exile!"
"…"
"The Chancellor of the Supreme Court is Prince Yi's man. The case you are investigating is also being manipulated by Prince Yi behind the scenes. His goal is to get you to strike the imperial drum. For your sake, Jing Rong will take the initiative to request to go to Yufu County to investigate the missing disaster relief silvers. In this way, Prince Yi will get the Chancellor of the Supreme Court to reopen the case.
Ji Yunshu's eyes widened in shock.
Yes, she understood now.
The next moment, she lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.
Mo Ruo stopped her.
"It's too late for you to go now. Jing Rong should have left the palace by now."
"Get out of my way."
She pushed Mo Ruo away and stumbled out of bed. Her legs were weak, and she ran out of the room. Just as she reached the door, her body went limp, and she fell into a firm embrace.
Jing Rong caught her falling body, carried her into the room, and put her on the bed.
Then …
Jing Rong turned to Mo Ruo and said, "You go out first."
Mo Ruo didn't say anything and quietly left.
Ji Yunshu sat on the bed, looking at him with teary eyes. Her nose was sore, and she bit her pale lips hard.
After a while.
Jing Rong asked her, "Does your injury still hurt?"
She shook her head.
"It's time to teach you a lesson. Otherwise, you'll never learn from it."
It sounded like a condemnation, but it was filled with heartache.
Then, he sat on the bedside and reached out to touch Ji Yunshu's face, wiping away her tears. He cupped her delicate face and said lovingly, "Take good care of yourself. When you're better, we'll go to Yufu. I heard that there are mountains and rivers and ten miles of peach forest there. Let's go together and enjoy the beautiful scenery."
Tears welled up in her eyes. "I'm sorry."
"Don't say sorry. You have your own choice, and so do I."
"I'm sorry, I was too selfish. You didn't have to …"
Before she could finish, Jing Rong covered her mouth with his hand.
He said firmly, "It's not that you're being selfish, but anyone else would have made the same choice as you. I chose to stay by your side, so I'm destined to shield you from the wind and rain for the rest of my life. If you want to do something, I'll do it with you. If you want to go somewhere, I'll go with you. As long as it's something you want, I'll give it to you."
"Ji Yunshu, this is the only thing I can do to make you love me."
Ah!
Ji Yunshu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. At this moment, she was a little stunned.
Such words of love always left her at a loss for what to do.
Jing Rong's tolerance time and time again made her never think for him!
These words of love were like a bottle of poison …
Ji Yunshu's tears turned red as she threw herself into his arms.
Jing Rong didn't dare to touch her back. His hands hung by his side.
He intimately whispered in her ear, "Be good and rest well. Don't worry about anything else. When you're better, we'll go to Yufu."
Ji Yunshu nodded obediently …
Mo Ruo heard their conversation from outside. He sat leisurely on the stone bench and smiled.
He began to admire the gradually withering peach blossoms in the courtyard.
At this time, Ji Wanxin came with many supplements in her hands. She was about to go to Ji Yunshu's room. Mo Ruo broke off a plum blossom and stopped her.
He said, "Second Miss Ji, why don't you sit outside and talk to me?"
Ji Wanxin wasn't a fool. She glanced into the room and knew that Jing Rong should be inside.
Thereupon —
She placed the supplements on the stone table and smiled faintly, "May I know what Young Master Mo wants to talk to me about?"
The two sat down on the stone bench.
Mo Ruo raised his brows thoughtfully. What matter? Of course it was —
"I heard that Second Miss Ji is engaged to Young Master Shen."
Mo Ruo really was a know-it-all!
He usually drank himself to death, but his ears knew everything in the world. It had to be said that he was indeed a genius.
Ji Wanxin knew that he would ask these questions.
Although she was repulsed, she didn't show it on her face.
Instead, she nodded gently and said, "Yes, it was decided by my father and grandmother."
"Then, have you met Young Master Shen?"
He shook his head, "Not yet."
"Logically speaking, when Second Miss Ji came to the capital, the Shen family would definitely come to visit you, their daughter-in-law."
It wasn't certain whether she was his daughter-in-law or not!
"Young Master Mo must be joking." She lowered her head and smiled, a trace of shyness appearing on her face.
The shyness of a beauty was like a bright moon, penetrating like silk.
Such a beauty was too tempting.
Unfortunately, Mo Ruo was immune to her.
The two chatted for a while until Jing Rong came out.
Ji Wanxin immediately came forward and presented the tonics she had brought. "These are the tonics I brought for Yunshu. They're for her to nourish her body."
"Many thanks."
Jing Rong didn't accept it. He walked around her and went straight to Mo Ruo. "I've troubled you for the next two days. You should return to Yuhua Pavilion. Yunshu is worried about Wei Yi."
"What? Are you sending me away? "Mo Ruo was displeased.
"You still want money?"
"A thousand taels, not one tael less."
"I do have a thousand coffins!"
"Forget it, forget it, you miser." Mo Ruo glared at him fiercely, waved his hand, and walked away. He didn't even look back as he said, "I'll go back to accompany my little Wei Yi."
The last word was dragged out.
His figure gradually disappeared from the courtyard.
Only Jing Rong and Ji Wanxin were left.
Before Jing Rong left, he turned to Ji Wanxin. "Yunshu is already resting. This Prince will send someone to send you back."
"I …"
Before Ji Wanxin could finish her sentence, Jing Rong had already left.
Ji Wanxin couldn't help but shed tears as she looked at his cold figure. She threw the tonic in her hand on the stone table.
Bang!
The sound was loud and clear.
His gentle brows were twisted with ruthlessness.
