Do I have to fight?
Chapter 333: Must I Fight?
Ji Yunshu's body had almost recovered in the past few days.
Today, she got out of bed and sat lazily in the courtyard, basking in the sun.
Her almond-shaped eyes gently closed as she leaned against the cushion behind her.
Between her elegant eyes, there was a trace of orange light from the rising sun.
The sunlight shone on her delicate face, revealing the smooth and round contours of her face. The lines were very soft and beautiful, as if they had been carefully polished by a pencil.
If such a woman didn't have a man's hair bun and wore a man's light-colored robe, her lazy and intoxicated appearance would have bewitched many men.
Several maidservants secretly peeked at her from time to time. That scholar was even more exquisite than a woman.
Everyone was very satisfied with their peeking.
Ji Yunshu rubbed the space between her eyebrows. The injury on her back was hurting again. Fortunately, Mo Ruo's medicine was very effective and reduced the pain. Otherwise, she would have died from the pain.
Without waiting for her to frown, a figure appeared above her head like a dark cloud. He bent down, lifted her up with both hands, and carried her into the room.
Jing Rong carried Ji Yunshu, who was as light as a feather. As soon as he stepped into the room, he kicked the door shut.
Many pairs of eyes were blocked outside as well.
Naturally, many people began to whisper among themselves.
Ever since Teacher Ji was injured, His Highness had been taking care of him. Even if he went out for a trip, he would quickly return.
"Our Highness, don't tell me he really likes … men?"
"Ever since Teacher Ji came to our mansion, His Highness has changed. He has never treated anyone the way he treats Teacher Ji."
"That's why His Highness definitely likes men."
"Moreover …"
Slap!
A ruthless slap landed on the manservant's head.
The manservant clutched his head in pain and scolded, "Who? Who is it? Who is blind … "
When he turned his head, he saw Lu Jiang.
He immediately cowered.
"Head Butler Lu, I'm not scolding you, I …" He stammered and bowed.
Lu Jiang pointed at them and sternly scolded, "You people have nothing better to do all day. Do you want me to throw you all out?"
Everyone knew Lu Jiang's temperament. They looked at each other and quickly ran away.
After everyone left, Lang Po came over. Seeing Lu Jiang's furious expression, he nudged him.
She asked, "What happened to you? Who provoked you? "
Lu Jiang was deeply concerned. He looked at the tightly shut door of Ji Yunshu's room and turned to Lang Po. "You follow His Highness around every day. If you have the time, you should remind him a few times. Don't let others gossip. If the Emperor hears about it, it won't be good."
Lang Po understood the meaning behind his words. He smiled evilly and said, "I say, Lu Jiang, do you think you and I can stop our Prince from doing what he wants? Besides, I think Teacher Ji is a good choice. You old man won't understand the concept of men being more important than women. "
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just worried about His Highness's future."
"Worried?" Lang Po's smile disappeared and he sighed. "His Highness has volunteered to go to Yufu to investigate that damned disaster relief silvers. Once he leaves the capital, the capital will belong to Prince Yi. In the future, it will be difficult for His Highness to return to the capital. How can he have a future?"
He was deeply worried.
In fact, Lu Jiang was also worried about this.
The two of them sighed. Inside the room, Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu were having a good time.
Jing Rong gently placed Ji Yunshu on the bed. He sat by the bedside and looked at Ji Yunshu's gradually rosy cheeks.
He couldn't help but praise, "Mo Ruo is indeed a divine doctor. Seeing that you're fine, I'm relieved."
He couldn't help but praise, "Mo Ruo is indeed a divine doctor. Seeing that you're fine, I'm relieved."
"You're a troublemaker. How can I not worry? If I don't keep an eye on you, I'm afraid that in the blink of an eye, you'll cause a lot of trouble for me. Ji Yunshu, I must have owed you in my previous life. So, in this life, I must repay you with all my might. "
Ji Yunshu reached out to hold his hand. There was a hint of worry on her beautiful face.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Jing Rong, have you ever thought that going to Yufu might be a good choice?"
"Why do you say that?"
Ji Yunshu said, "His Majesty suddenly pushed the matter of the Yufu County disaster relief funds onto you and Prince Yi, choosing one and keeping the other. At the end of the day, it's all to protect one of them. Since ancient times, it's always the survival of the fittest in a power struggle. Either you die, or I die. The Crown Prince is already dead, and His Majesty is probably afraid of losing another son. That's why he came up with this plan. Now, almost everyone in the court is on Prince Yi's side. It's only a matter of time before he becomes the heir apparent."
"Are you saying that Jing Yi should be the Emperor?" Jing Rong retorted.
"If we're talking about the image of an Emperor, he's not there yet. As an Emperor, he must be talented. Since ancient times, Emperors have always been virtuous. Even a general or a King can't be compared to an Emperor in any aspect. But …" A warm current welled up in her heart. She tightened her grip on his wrist.
Tears welled up in his eyes.
Her bright and clear eyes flickered for a moment.
"I don't want to fight with you."
Jing Rong paused. His mind raced as he grasped her hand. "I know what you're worried about, but Yunshu, if Jing Yi becomes the Emperor, many people will die. Therefore, he shouldn't be the Crown Prince, much less the Emperor."
"Must you fight for it?"
"Yes, I must fight for it."
"…" Ji Yunshu did not speak. She only looked at him.
"This trip to Yufu was indeed the worst decision I could make. However, I will definitely return to the capital with you. After all, the 'Lin Capital Case' is not over. Jing Yi and I will definitely fight for it. Yunshu, I promise you that I will give you the life you want. When the Emperor's throne falls into the hands of the person who deserves it, I will accompany you to fulfill all your wishes."
Huh?
Ji Yunshu was moved and shocked at the same time.
"You mean … the Virtuous Prince?"
Jing Rong did not speak.
It was a tacit agreement.
After a while, he said, "In short, this trip to Yufu is already destined. You don't have to worry about the aftermath. I have my own arrangements. Rest well and we will leave in two days."
Ji Yunshu's eyes darkened as she nodded obediently.
… …
Mo Ruo carried two pots of wine in his hands as he staggered into the palace's south gate.
The guards wanted to help him up when they saw him like this, but decided against it. After all, Mo Ruo had a good tolerance for alcohol. He would not end up in the lotus pond.
Thus, he staggered all the way to Tongren Hall.
As soon as he entered, Bi Lu caught a whiff of the fragrance of wine. He hurriedly rushed out of the house to welcome him and supported him.
"Young Master Mo, be careful."
"I'm fine!" He swept Bi Lu away with a sweep of his sleeve.
"His Highness has just rested. You came at a bad time."
Bi Lu reminded him.
Mo Ruo did not care about this. He walked to the door and pushed it open.
The smell of medicine inside instantly overshadowed the smell of medicine on his body.
Jing Xian was still leaning on the soft chair, covered with a blanket, dozing off.
Just as Mo Ruo staggered in front of him, Jing Xian spoke.
"Are you here to collect the wine I brewed for you?"
Mo Ruo gulped down a mouthful of wine and sat down.
"No, I'm here to say goodbye."
Jing Xian slowly opened his tired eyes and asked, "Where are you going?"
