Chapter 611: Follow Me Home
After a long while …
Wen Pai said, "All these years, all of us have been waiting and preparing for the day when we can charge into the capital. Thus, all these years, we have been secretly searching for you, Little Heir, and at the same time, we have been preparing for the army's provisions. We have also colluded with Official Lin and Magistrate Zuo from the relay station to exchange the disaster relief silver that the imperial court had sent to Yufu. We have been waiting for the day when the army of a hundred thousand is assembled and everything is ready to kill that dog of an emperor. However … I have also thought about what you and that prince said for a long time. Indeed, the army of a hundred thousand has been scattered for many years. Even if we constantly recruit new soldiers, they are scattered and weak. We've all thought about this, but the year the dog emperor ascended to the throne, he wantonly slaughtered the innocent. All the officials and soldiers of the imperial court who rebelled against him were killed one by one, uprooted by the roots. How many people lost their loved ones? How could we let it go? Thus, we have waited for fourteen years to find you one day, Little Heir, and pull that dog of an emperor off the throne. "
Filled with indignation!
Filled with excitement!
Wen Panshi's eyes gradually reddened.
As Ji Yunshu listened, it was as if she could see the scene of Qi Zhen Emperor's massacre when he ascended the throne.
But …
Since ancient times, how had emperors who had ascended the throne not been like this?
Killing the chicken to warn the monkey!
Wen Panshi sobbed again, "I watched Lin Feng grow up. His father used to be an official of the Discipline Commission, but because he disobeyed the Emperor during the court session, the Emperor ordered him to be executed a few days later. Lin Feng said that he would rather die by his own hands than be killed by others, so he committed suicide by ingesting poison. At that time, he held my hand and told me to take good care of Lin Feng. When we find the Little Heir, I must assist the Little Heir. However, I never thought that things would come to this."
Lin Feng is dead!
Terrible!
Ji Yunshu sighed.
After a while, she said, "General Wen, since you have found me, does that mean … you will listen to my orders?"
"Of course."
"Good. Before the truth of the 'Lin Capital Case' is revealed, none of you are allowed to act rashly or kill another person."
"Little Heir …"
"You have identified me as the Little Heir and have searched for me for so many years. Now, you must listen to me. Moreover, without my jade pendant, you will not be able to mobilize the army of a hundred thousand. The only thing you can do now is wait."
"Wait?"
"Yes, wait. Wait until the day the truth is revealed." Ji Yunshu was very serious and her tone was firm.
Wen Panshi's eyes narrowed. It took him a lot of determination before he finally nodded.
"Alright, I'll listen to the Little Heir."
Ji also heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to leave the cell, Wen Panshi suddenly called out to her again.
"I have something to remind the Little Heir. If it's possible, there's no need for you to be so close to that prince."
Her gaze wavered for a moment, but in the end, she left without saying anything.
However, she did not leave the prison immediately. Instead, she went to Zhao Huai's cell.
"Ji" Ping: "But," Ji Ji Ji Two, Ji Ji Ji "Ji She is She" She "
Ji Yunshu placed a bottle of medicine on the floor.
"The cell is damp. The wound on his hand may be infected. Let him apply this medicine."
"Yes, Your Highness."
She stood there for a while before leaving. This time, she headed in the direction of the Yufu yamen.
Inside the yamen.
Before he went in, he heard screams of "Aiya, aiya" coming from inside.
Zuo Yao was lying on the pear blossom chair. His sleeves had been rolled up to his shoulders. There were whip marks all over his body.
Bright red, dark red, green purple …
It was clear that Tang Si was quite ruthless.
The old man next to him was applying medicine for him.
"Milord, don't scream. This is a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. It will be fine after a few hours."
"It hurts!"
"It's not good medicine if it doesn't hurt."
"Be gentle."
"I know. Milord, please bear with it."
The old man's movements became gentler and slower.
However, he continued to cry out in pain.
Ji Yunshu wanted to curse at him when she saw this scene, but she also felt sorry for him.
Seeing that someone had come, Zuo Yao immediately pulled down his sleeves as if someone had discovered his secret. His eyes were filled with panic. He stood up and looked at the calm Ji Yunshu as she walked in.
"Little Shi … Teacher Ji, why are you here?"
His voice was trembling.
Ji Yunshu glanced at him, then looked around. The yamen was deserted. There wasn't a single yamen runner in sight. Even the gatekeepers were nowhere to be seen. It was a desolate scene, similar to Zuo Yao's current situation.
"Where's Little Xiyue?"
"She's … in the backyard."
"Mm." Ji Yunshu did not say anything else. She then walked towards the backyard. She suddenly stopped and took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve. She handed it to the old man beside her. "This medicine is better than your secret recipe."
The old man took it.
He opened the bottle and sniffed it. He frowned. "This medicine is good."
Ji Yunshu smiled and looked at Zuo Yao. "Milord Zuo, you're still wearing your official robes. Do your job properly."
"Yes!"
He was very sincere.
Ji Yunshu went to the backyard.
In the backyard.
Little Xiyue sat on the stone steps, her head buried deep in her knees. Her playful long hair hung on her arms, almost falling to the ground.
She suddenly raised her head when she heard something. Her eyes were full of expectation.
But when she saw who it was, her eyes drooped again.
Ji Yunshu sat down beside her and reached out to rub her head.
"Big Brother." A pair of big eyes looked at her.
She looked so pitiful!
Looking at the finger marks on her little face, it made people's hearts ache.
Ji Yunshu caressed her face and frowned. "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." She shook her head. "Mother didn't do it on purpose. Actually, I don't blame her. Big Brother, can you let them go? Father and Mother didn't want to hurt you. "
"I know."
"Then why did you still arrest them?"
"Because … they were too stubborn." She hesitated for a long time before saying this.
Little Xiyue had read many books, but she couldn't understand this sentence no matter how hard she tried.
She tilted her head. "Then when can they be released?"
"Very soon!" Ji Yunshu patted her head and asked, "Little Xiyue, do you like it here?"
Little Xiyue shook her head vigorously. "I don't like it."
"Then come home with me, okay?"
She held out her hand.
Little Xiyue blinked and stared at her for a long time. Then, she put her little hand in Ji Yunshu's palm and let her hold it tightly.
At this time, in Anchang Courtyard.
Jing Rong and Mo Ruo sat in the room. Both of them looked very solemn.
They were silent for a long time.
"What are you going to do?" Mo Ruo asked.
