The Eight Bearers Welcome You
In the capital, Ji Huan could become a pawn like Ji Li at any time, while the two brothers would become Jing Yi's left and right arms. At that time, no one would be able to compete with them.
So …
To stifle Jing Yi's inflated heart of desire, one had to first cut off one of his arms, then slowly attack him!
Jing Rong's suggestion couldn't be any better.
Qi Zhen Emperor agreed.
He thought for a moment, then looked Jing Rong up and down. "You've just returned to the capital and must be tired from the journey. Go back first. We will make a decision in court tomorrow."
From beginning to end, Jing Rong had 'behaved himself'. The posthumous edict had been delivered, and his suggestion had been made, so he didn't say anything more. He saluted and left.
Qin Shiyu was waiting for him outside the conference hall.
"How was it?"
Jing Rong asked.
Jing Rong glanced back at the hall. "Imperial Father will announce the edict in court tomorrow."
The meaning behind his words was clear.
He wouldn't ask further.
The two left the palace together.
As they were about to reach the south gate, Jing Rong glanced around and saw a large red kite floating in the distant sky.
Jing Xuan?
He stopped and looked at the direction with a grave expression. Because it was too far away and the green tiles blocked his view, he couldn't see who was flying the kite. However, he knew it was Jing Xuan. In the past, whenever he entered the palace, Jing Xuan would fly a kite. If it was a light colored kite, she would look for him for a trivial matter and he would look for her after court. If it was a brightly colored kite, it was an urgent matter.
This was a secret between him and Jing Xuan since they were young.
The red kite was huge. Even though it was far away, it could still be seen clearly in the cloudless sky.
He knew that Jing Xuan's wedding day was approaching and she was about to leave for Huyi. She must have looked for him because of this.
Just as he was about to go over, Qin Shiyu pulled him back.
"Your Highness, it's more important to leave the palace first."
A reminder!
Jing Rong watched the kite fly higher and higher, hesitating for a moment. In the end, he stopped and left the palace with Qin Shiyu.
In the distant Zhangzhi Hall.
Jing Xuan was anxiously flying the kite with the high wall in front of her.
She begged again and again, "Imperial Brother, you must see it, you must come …"
Duan 'er, who was at the side, heard her mumbling something, but she couldn't hear it very clearly. She walked forward and asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"
She did not respond and continued to tug at the kite in her hand.
He was very anxious.
Duan 'er didn't understand, but she could only watch as she kept pulling the string.
The bright red kite rose higher and higher. Suddenly —
The wind was too strong, and the string was pulled to the very end. Due to the lack of strength, it broke. The thin string left Jing Xuan's hand and was dragged into the air by the kite.
"No!"
She chased after him for a few steps, but was stopped by the high wall in front of her. She could not cross it.
He could only look up bitterly.
There were tears in her eyes.
Duan 'er hurriedly said, "Princess, don't be sad. It's just a kite. This servant will get someone to bring you another one."
"There's no need." Her voice was low and choked.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"Perhaps … this is fate."
Hmm?
Her eyes reddened as she watched the kite fly further and further away.
…
Rong Estate.
After Ji Yunshu entered the capital, she returned to the Rong Estate to wait. The guards had already returned, and Jing Rong entered the palace with the posthumous edict.
She did not know what was going on in the palace.
She could only feel apprehensive.
Lu Jiang comforted her, "Teacher Ji, don't worry. His Highness will definitely leave the palace smoothly."
"I know, but I still feel very anxious."
"His Highness has the late Emperor's posthumous edict. Naturally, nothing will happen to him. His Majesty is a wise man. I believe that this edict will help His Highness stay in the capital."
Ji Yunshu sighed softly.
After a long time, her anxious heart gradually calmed down.
She looked at Lu Jiang and asked, "Uncle Lu, is there any news of Wei Yi?"
Lu Jiang was stunned when he was suddenly asked.
He had clearly sent a messenger pigeon to inform his Highness that he could not find Young Master Wei in the capital. How could Teacher Ji not know? After thinking about it for a moment, he instantly figured it out.
He hurriedly said, "Young Master Wei is a virtuous man. Nothing will happen to him. Although there is still no news of him, I believe that Prince Yi must have hidden him. I have already sent people to search the capital. They will definitely find Young Master Wei."
"So, there is still no news of him?"
"Yes."
Ji Yunshu tried to remain calm. "Have you searched the entire capital, including Prince Yi's Estate?"
"I've searched everywhere."
"That's impossible. If Prince Yi really captured him, he must still be in the capital. But … where would Prince Yi hide him?"
She was puzzled.
Lu Jiang said, "Teacher Ji, I know you are worried about Young Master Wei, but he will definitely be fine."
Ji Yunshu did not reply.
She only thought, 'A living person can't just disappear like that.
He must have been hidden in an unexpected place. '
Just as she was thinking …
A voice came from outside, "Your Highness."
Ji Yunshu's thoughts were immediately pulled back. She looked outside and saw Jing Rong walking in, unscathed and safe.
At that moment, her eyes reddened. Her heart that had been hanging in the air finally relaxed.
When Jing Rong entered, she quickly walked forward and stood in front of him. She looked at him with teary eyes.
She was sad and happy at the same time.
All kinds of emotions intertwined together, making her feel at a loss.
Jing Rong retracted his cold gaze and gradually softened. "This prince promised you that I will return safely."
In the next moment, she threw herself into his arms, disregarding her male identity.
He hugged her tightly.
Jing Rong also hugged the petite figure in his arms, gently resting his chin on her forehead.
The two of them hugged each other without any distractions.
Fortunately, Lu Jiang and Lang Po understood.
However, the guards outside were somewhat dumbfounded. They looked at each other, their faces full of question marks. Although they had long heard of the interesting story between their prince and Teacher Ji, and even knew that His Highness doted on Teacher Ji to the point of insanity, they didn't expect that they would be hugging each other in public.
Look no indecency!
Look no indecency!
Lang Po hurriedly gave them a look. "All of you can leave."
The guards didn't dare to stay and hurriedly left.
Lu Jiang and Lang Po also consciously left, not wanting to disturb them.
Ji Yunshu nestled in his arms, the side of her face pressed tightly against his firm and hot chest. She could even hear the sound of his heartbeat.
Strong and powerful!
Ji Yun choked with sobs. "I thought of many possibilities, over and over again. In the end, I became more and more afraid."
"When has this prince ever broken a promise? I said that I will return safely, so I will definitely return safely. " He released her and looked into her eyes. "This prince has yet to marry you in a palanquin with eight bearers. How can I let anything happen to me?"
Palanquin with eight bearers!
To marry you!
Ji Yunshu pursed her lips, her tears finally falling. "Fine, then I will wait for that day. I will wait for you to marry me."
