Shi Zijin's body was cremated.
Ji Yunshu carried the pile of ashes and went to the moat with Shi Ziran.
Heavy snow fell, enveloping the entire capital.
The two of them scattered the ashes, which were slowly blown away by the wind and snow.
Ji Yunshu wore a white flower on her head. Her face was pale, her eyes weak and heavy as she watched the ashes drift with the wind.
Tears welled up in her eyes. Shi Ziran's mischievous aura faded and he said in a low voice, "Ever since we were young, we depended on each other. She was never willing to talk to anyone. Even when she was seriously injured, she kept it to herself. Sometimes, I wonder, how did I end up with a sister like that? Someone who always hid her thoughts in her heart.
Sister? She always said that I don't understand her, but I do. She always wanted to go to the grasslands, saying that the horses there are fat and fast. She also said that she wanted to go to the Great Lin's border and see our flag on the city wall. "
His voice became softer and softer …
His voice became hoarse …
Ji Yunshu hugged the urn in her hands and tightened her neck. She took a deep breath and said, "What should be owed must be paid back."
"What do you mean?"
She said, "With the current situation, who wants Jing Rong to die the most? Why did the coffin suddenly reopen? Where did the bandits come from? Why did the capital's guards come so suddenly? And why did the Virtuous King invite Jing Rong to his estate? All of this is too much of a coincidence. "
Just as he finished speaking …
A voice came.
"It's not a coincidence. It was all planned."
Mo Ruo had arrived at some point in time.
He walked towards the snow and smiled bitterly as he looked at the falling snow outside. "I think I might have lost."
Yes, he had lost! "I thought that I was overthinking. Even though I knew that he had been faking his illness all these years, and that he used that pigeon to secretly communicate with others, I still chose to believe him. I believed that he would not harm Jing Rong. I believed that he was different from Jing Yi. In the end, I was wrong.
But he also lost. The throne can make a person lose all reason. "
The throne can make a person lose all reason.
The snow was flying and the cold wind was blowing.
…
Wei Yi opened his eyes and was greeted by an unfamiliar room.
It was very simple!
Rubbing the back of his neck that was still aching, he got up from the bed and searched the room. The room was very dark and sparsely furnished, like a meditation room.
Just as he was feeling strange, the door was pushed open from the outside. A monk entered the room, carrying a plate of vegetarian dishes.
"You're awake? Eat something. "
"Who are you? Where is this place? "Wei Yi cautiously took a step back.
"This is An Guangju."
The residence that the emperor had prepared for the monks who were going to the capital this time.
"Why am I here? Who are you? "
The monk looked at him kindly and said, "I won't hurt you. Eat something first and then we can talk."
"Take it away!" He emphasized. "I want to get out."
Just as he took two steps towards the door, he was suddenly stopped by someone outside.
It was Zhao Huai!
Wei Yi was confused. "Why are you here?"
Zhao Huai said, "Little Heir, it's better for you to stay here in peace."
Ugh!
What did he hear? The Little Heir?
He clenched his fists and looked at Zhao Huai in shock.
He was no stranger to the words' Little Heir '.
When he was in Jinjiang, he overheard the conversation between Ji Yunshu and Fu Bo in the room. At that time, he already knew his identity. It was no wonder that Zhao Huai and Wen Xian kept sneaking peeks at him from the roof of the Rong Estate.
This day had finally come!
His clear eyes darkened as he asked, "Why?"
"It's a long story. Your identity …"
"I'm not asking you about that. I'm asking you, why did you bring me here?"
"…"
"If you can't answer me, then send me back to Shu 'er's side."
"Little Heir …"
"Get out of my way!"
Zhao Huai was unwilling to give way. He hesitated for a moment and frowned. "Come with me."
He led Wei Yi out of the room.
Wei Yi cautiously followed him to the backyard of An Guangju.
There was a man standing in the pavilion in the distance.
He followed Zhao Huai's steps and slowly approached.
Zhao Huai respectfully said to the man, "Master, the Little Heir is here."
The man's back was facing the two of them. He raised his hand and waved. Zhao Huai bowed and retreated.
Wei Yi's chest thumped as he looked at the skinny figure.
Until the man turned around.
It was a face that had been half destroyed by the fire. Although it was terrifying and ferocious, there was a deep sense of love and sadness in those eyes.
He looked straight into that gaze.
He roughly understood what was going on.
The Imperial Duke's body trembled and his eyes were filled with tears. He reached out to touch Wei Yi and called out, "Xi 'er."
Wei Yi took a few steps back.
The Imperial Duke's hand froze in mid-air. "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." The Imperial Duke's eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke in a desolate and emotional tone, "It's been twenty-one years, a whole twenty-one years. When I sent you away, you were still a baby. In the blink of an eye, you've grown into an adult. I still remember when I sent you away.
I still remember when I sent you away, your mother asked me to give you a name. I gave you the character 'Xi' in the hope that one day, our family would meet again. How many times have I waited for this day? Now, it has finally come. "
He choked.
Wei Yi's eyes were red. He looked at the person in front of him with a strange and surprised look. He was speechless.
"Xi 'er …"
He took a step forward, but he took a step back.
There was always a little distance between them.
The Imperial Duke finally put down his hand and said, "Xi 'er, I had no choice but to send you away. All these years, I've been thinking about reuniting with you."
"Why did you send me away? Was it really because you were worried that the Emperor would give the order to kill me in order to consolidate his throne? Was that why you sent me away? "Wei Yi asked.
"I will slowly tell you what happened in the past."
"I want to know the truth now!"
Stubborn!
But …
The Imperial Duke seemed to have something he couldn't say. "Xi 'er, no matter what happened in the past, we will never be separated again. All the bad things are about to pass."
Wei Yi was puzzled. "What do you want to do?"
"Take back what belongs to us!"
Every word was filled with hatred. He walked towards Wei Yi again. His loving eyes narrowed. "The world is ours, and the throne is also ours. Now, it's time to take back what belongs to us. On the day of the annual sacrifice, we will be able to take back what belongs to us. Very soon, very soon. Just a few more days."
