Chapter 613: Sacrifice the Small for the Big
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"How am I talking nonsense? You were the one who said that you want her to stay here. Isn't that the same as raising her? After all, her parents will die, and she will be the only one left in the Wen family. If you keep her here, what else can you be but a mother? "
This logic was truly unparalleled!
Ji Yunshu couldn't be bothered to communicate with her, but thinking that Little Xiyue would be here for a while, she had to patiently remind her.
"I will only take care of her for a while. When her parents come out, they will naturally take her back."
"Ah?"
Tang Si cried out in shock again!
This time, she didn't cover her mouth.
"Ah Ji, are you sure you're not mistaken? Her father brought archers and soldiers to surround you and almost took your lives. That's a rebellion! If news of this spreads to the capital, Little Xiyue won't be able to live. Do you still want her parents to come out? That's a joke! If this happened in Houliao, it wouldn't be as simple as the execution of nine generations, the entire clan would be wiped out. "
I'm not trying to scare you.
In Houliao, if one person rebelled, the entire clan would die.
Ji Yunshu heaved a long sigh and said, "Alright, don't try to scare a child. You'll scare her with all these nonsense. Besides, her parents will be fine."
"Ah!"
This time, it wasn't a scream, but shock and confusion.
Those people almost succeeded in their rebellion, and they're fine? Are you kidding me? "
Ji Yunshu ignored her and turned to sit next to Little Xiyue. She looked at the aggrieved little face.
"Little Xiyue."
She called out gently.
The child was indifferent.
She was obviously frightened by what Tang Si had said.
"Don't worry, your parents will come out safely."
Huh?
Little Xiyue's lifeless eyes suddenly brightened.
She looked at her with hope.
"Really?"
"Of course."
"My parents will be fine?"
"Yes."
"Big Brother will be fine?"
"Yes."
"Everyone will be fine?"
"Yes."
She nodded firmly.
The corners of Little Xiyue's originally sunken lips slowly blossomed, revealing her usual clear and bright smile.
It was extremely clean!
Tang Si, on the other hand, walked over with widened eyes. She snorted through her nostrils and said, "I really don't understand. What's in your heads? “
It was definitely not ink.
It was excrement!
It was so funny.
Little Xiyue's clear laughter resounded in the courtyard. Suddenly, Jing Rong and Mo Ruo strode in.
At the same time, the laughter stopped abruptly!
Little Xiyue instinctively took a few steps back and hid behind Ji Yunshu, clutching her clothes tightly.
Her black eyes were filled with fear as she stared at the extremely dark man in front of her.
Jing Rong's entire body exuded a dignified and cold aura, like the sharp edge of a long sword. Just a slight touch was enough to take a person's life, leaving them drenched in blood.
Ji Yunshu's expression froze for a moment before she regained her composure. She immediately instructed Qiao 'er to bring Little Xiyue into the house.
She directly met Jing Rong's gaze.
Their eyes met.
Mo Ruo was a tactful fellow. He pulled Tang Si. "Let's go. I just found a few new books. Come with me to get them and have a good look."
"I'm not in the mood to read right now."
"Then do you still want to study medicine?"
"Yes."
"Then let's go."
'Brother, the show isn't over yet. Can't you wait?'
Mo Ruo directly dragged her away.
Only the two of them were left in the courtyard.
However, they stood there for a long time without saying a word.
Until —
A bird landed on the eaves and chirped.
Finally, the stalemate was broken.
Jing Rong's face was cold and a little displeased. "They went to prison?"
She pursed her lips and nodded. "I know that they have indeed committed the crime of rebellion. For such a crime, even a thousand or ten thousand deaths would not be enough. However, since you promised me to let them go and blocked all news, it means that you also don't want to see the scene of countless casualties when the two armies fight."
"Mo Ruo suggested that I wait. I think the result of my waiting is that you want me to let them go, right?"
This was not a question.
It was an affirmative statement.
Ji Yunshu analyzed the situation with him. "They did kill a lot of people and almost took our lives, but in the end, they did it for the Imperial Duke. They are loyal and rational. There are very few soldiers in this world. I know that you will think that I am being emotional when I say this, but you know the pros and cons better than anyone else. I have already convinced General Wen. He promised to put this matter aside and wait until the day the truth about the fire at the Imperial Duke's residence is revealed to the world. In the meantime, he will not do anything else."
"You believe him?"
"Yes. In the current situation, I can only trust him."
"This prince understands what you mean," Jing Rong said straightforwardly. "At first, this prince was wavering and had some misgivings. Now, no matter what the outcome is, this prince will stand by your side. Because compared to the imperial court sending troops to annihilate a hundred thousand soldiers and causing rivers of blood to flow, it is better to turn a big problem into a small one and a small one into nothing. This way, we can nip the idea before it gets too serious."
He agreed.
It was very straightforward.
Ji Yunshu was gratified and said, "However, I have another concern in my heart."
"You are worried that Imperial Father sent this prince to Yufu to investigate the disaster relief funds. But if he decides to let them go, then the matter of the disaster relief funds will have to be concealed."
Indeed!
If he wanted to return to the capital, he would have to investigate the case of the disaster relief funds. However, the case of the disaster relief funds was linked to the Imperial Duke's residence. Once he reported it, it would naturally be exposed. Then, a hundred thousand soldiers would gather and fight against the imperial court. However, if he concealed the matter, he would be labeled as' incompetent 'and be exiled to Yufu forever. He might not be able to return to the capital for the rest of his life.
He really wanted to be a free and unfettered king.
If he chose one, he would have to bear the other.
There was no way out.
Jing Rong let out a long sigh. "Not everyone can sacrifice the small for the big. This prince wants to do it this time."
He was very determined.
He had decided to conceal the matter of the disaster relief funds. Similarly, it was equivalent to concealing the matter of the old members of the Imperial Duke's residence and the hundred thousand soldiers.
"I hope this time … this prince has made the right decision."
Ji Yunshu looked at his bright and clear profile, and her warm eyes darkened.
In Mo Ruo's room.
Tang Si sat at the table with a thick medical book spread out in front of her. Mo Ruo had casually taken it from the bookshelf.
He had casually tossed it back to her.
She was forced to sit at the table and read a few pages, but it was too boring.
She closed the book and propped her chin on her hand. She looked at Mo Ruo in the distance and said impatiently, "Are you doing this on purpose? You want me to read at this time? "
Is there a problem?
