The Little Heir is gone
Zhang Quan supported Qi Zhen Emperor as they slowly left the hall of the Ministry of Justice.
After they left, Jing Yi's suppressed hostility was revealed as he glared angrily at Jing Rong.
"You've already calculated this step and knew that Imperial Father would come."
Jing Rong played it down, "You're thinking too much."
"Whether I'm thinking too much or not, I'm afraid you know it in your heart." His sinister eyes reflected a chilling murderous intent, "The one who laughs last is the real winner!"
The only response he got was Jing Rong's indifferent expression.
He fiercely glared at Wen Shisan beside him, "This Prince has calculated everything and I actually forgot about you."
"This Prince is just stating the facts."
"What a good way to deal with the situation."
He snorted.
With a wave of his sleeve, he left in a huff.
Ji Yunshu moved in front of Wen Shisan and pursed her lips, "Thank you."
Wen Shisan smiled, "Thank? Why are you thanking me? "
He clearly knew the answer to that question.
"Thank you for writing that case report."
"Oh? That case report almost took Zhang Daqi's life, why are you thanking me? "
Others might not understand, but Ji Yunshu did. "That case report was indeed beautiful, but it was precisely because it was too beautiful that it was full of mistakes. Although you managed to cover up all the details by biting on the fact that Zhang Daqi's tongue was cut off, but once you found a suspicious point, your case report became a useless piece of paper. You must have concluded that I would find evidence, and you must have calculated that Zhang Daqi would not die. In addition, what you said in front of His Majesty just now caused Prince Yi to lose a stroke of fortune. Logically speaking, I should naturally thank you."
Wen Shisan did not seem to appreciate it, "I'm not helping you, nor am I a pawn planted by Prince Yi's side. I just can't stand Prince Yi's behavior. Although I want to win against you, this is not the way to win. I want to win fair and square. I know that I did a lot of wrong things in the past, but fortunately … your scolding woke me up and exposed me. I hope that one day, I can compete with you fair and square."
She exuded a magnanimous arrogance!
"There will definitely be such a chance." Ji Yunshu was worried, "But, what are your plans from now on? If you turn your spear to Prince Yi, he won't let you off easily, I'm afraid … "
He didn't say anything else.
Wen Thirteen was not afraid at all. "Since I've made this choice, I've naturally thought of a way out."
Jing Rong said, "If Jing Yi really wants your life, you won't be able to hide even if you hide."
Reminder!
He smiled in a carefree manner. "Then we'll deal with it when it comes."
"If you need help, just say the word. This Prince can guarantee your safe departure from the capital."
"Many thanks for Prince Rong's kind intentions. I, Wen, appreciate it. I have already made arrangements to leave the capital."
Jing Rong nodded, no longer 'flattering' her.
Wen Shisan's eyes darkened as he looked at Ji Yunshu. His lips curled into a smile. "I've said it before, a teacher for a day is a teacher for life. No matter when or where, you will always be my teacher. However, I'm not a competent disciple. I even went against your teachings and betrayed morality for the sake of fame and fortune. If I really have to face retribution, I only have myself to blame. I only hope that you can forgive Zhou San."
He lowered his gaze and bowed.
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath. She grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
He only said, "Hurry up and leave the capital."
He nodded and paused for a moment.
"Farewell."
Turning around, that proud and upright figure walked out of the hall of the Ministry of Justice.
He still carried his unique charm.
Gradually, he went further and further away …
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong stared at each other.
She said, "I'm afraid that the capital will not be peaceful anymore."
Jing Rong curled his lips. "That day will come."
…
On the way back, Jing Yi found it hard to swallow his anger.
Yu Dou Quan said, "Those who betray this Prince cannot be left alive.
”
"This subordinate understands."
As soon as they returned to the residence, someone hurriedly came to report.
"Your Highness, no … alright, the Little Heir … is gone!"
"What did you say?"
"The Little Heir was not saved."
It was as if five bolts of lightning had struck his head.
He was stunned for a moment, then hurried to Chen Xiang's courtyard.
The maids and manservants in the room knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation.
In the inner room, Chen Xiang lay on the bed, sweating profusely. Her hair was a mess and her face was as pale as a sheet. Blood stained the bedsheets and bedding.
She lay there motionless, her bloodshot eyes staring at the curtains above her head.
She looked like a dead person.
When Jing Yi entered, his entire body trembled.
The physician immediately knelt on the ground, crying out, "Your Highness, spare me, spare me …"
Jing Yi moved to the bedside with difficulty and waved his hand without looking sideways.
The physician was immediately dragged out.
"Your Highness, spare me, Your Highness …"
From afar, the incomparably tragic cries for mercy could still be heard.
Jing Yi looked at the blood-stained blanket beneath Chen Xiang, his hands trembling as he held her hands.
His fingertips were pale.
Chen Xiang's eyes moved. She looked at him, tears streaming down her face. Her lips trembled as she said weakly, "The child … is gone. Our child … is gone."
"…"
"Why? Why … "
She asked again and again.
Her voice was desolate.
Jing Yi's eyes were bloodshot, a murderous aura emanating from between his brows …
On the other side, outside Ji Muqing's courtyard.
Ever since Cailan followed Chen Xiang, she had completely forgotten about her previous master, Ji Muqing. At this moment, she paced back and forth at the entrance for a long time, mustering her courage and finally entering.
There were a few maids in the courtyard. When they saw her, they asked, "Cailan? Why aren't you with the side consort? "
She glanced into the room. "Is the consort in the room?"
"Yes."
She entered the room.
Inside the room, Ji Muqing was like a prisoner, closely watched every day. Ever since she snuck out the last time, Chen Xiang had added two more people to the courtyard, watching her closely.
She stood in front of the window, holding a twig in her hand and plucking the leaves like an idiot.
Every time she plucked a leaf, she muttered 'one', 'two', 'one', 'two' …
She kept repeating it.
She had completely lost the domineering and arrogant demeanor of a legitimate daughter!
Cailan said to the people in the room, "I have something to say to the consort. All of you can leave first."
"But the side consort asked us to watch over the consort at all times."
"The consort is in this room and can't go anywhere. It's the same for all of you to watch over her outside."
The maids thought about it, but didn't move.
Cailan then stuffed some silver fragments into their hands before she was willing to leave.
After everyone had left, Cailan walked to Ji Muqing's side, her eyes brimming with tears as she choked out, "Miss."
Ji Muqing didn't seem to hear her and continued plucking the leaves in her hand.
"One, two, one, two …"
"Miss." Cailan held her hand. "Miss, it's me, Cailan!"
Only then did Ji Muqing slowly stop what she was doing. She glanced sideways at Cailan, tilted her head and looked at her carefully.
