The next day.
Ji Yunshu sorted out Jiao Shiniang and Xing Xiyang's cases and handed them over to the Minister of Justice to report to the Emperor.
However, the moment the Minister of Justice stepped out of the Ministry of Justice, Ji Yunshu caught up with him.
She took the files she had sorted out from his hands.
"Lord Ji, what are you doing?"
"I'll go there myself." Recently, the Ministry of Justice had a lot of cases to deal with, so she hadn't been to the palace for almost a month. During this time, Wei Yi would occasionally order people to send her some extremely precious tonics. She accepted them and often ordered her maidservant to boil them for her. Because of this, Jing Rong would sometimes act crazily.
Because of this, Jing Rong would occasionally act crazily and watch her drink the tonics with relish. He felt that he could not lose, so he personally went out to buy a lot of tonics and piled them up in her room.
For a while, Ji Yunshu had a nosebleed.
So much so that when Wei Yi ordered people to send her tonics, she did not dare to touch them.
Knowing that she would enter the palace today, Wei Yi had already arranged for a young eunuch to greet her outside the palace gates. He said that he had prepared a lot of food in the imperial garden and was waiting for her.
Ji Yunshu followed the young eunuch to the imperial garden and happened to pass by the East Palace.
She could not help but stop in her tracks. The large red doors of the East Palace were tightly shut. Although the lanterns hanging in the corner of the door were new, the two words' East Palace 'on the plaque were mottled and the gold paint had fallen off. In addition, it was a cloudy day, so the sky above the East Palace looked gloomy and oppressive. When Jing Hua was still alive, this place could be described as splendid and splendid. Every night, the people who lived here, even the young eunuchs who swept the floor, were a cut above the rest. After all, their master was a future dragon. Who would have thought that in one night, Jing Hua would listen to slander and foolishly kill the Emperor by surrounding the palace and killing the Emperor?
Who would have thought that in one night, Jing Hua would listen to slander and foolishly kill the Emperor?
Who would have thought that on the next day, Crown Prince Jing Hua and the newly married Crown Princess, Kong Yu, would both die inside?
After that, many people in the palace did not want to pass through this place.
They were worried that it was haunted.
But from that day onwards, Kong Yu's name had been engraved in Ji Yunshu's heart.
She looked at the small gap in the middle of the big red door with a sentimental gaze. In her mind, she could not help but recall the scene from back then. Kong Yu used all her strength to hold on tightly to Ji Yunshu's hand, her pale face reflected a red glow. She said, "Please … tell Ah Rong, if … if there is a next life, I will still love him without any hesitation, and will … will silently … stay by his side. Please also tell him that he doesn't need to … no!
There's no need to feel sorry for me. There's no need to feel guilty. Everything is because of me … I did it willingly. "
That year, in order to protect Jing Rong and ensure that the Crown Prince would forever bear the crime of causing the fire in Chengqing Hall, she hardened her heart and killed the Crown Prince. Then, she drank the poison and followed him.
However, this matter was only known to Ji Yunshu.
She didn't want Kong Yu to be accused of murdering the Crown Prince and Qujiang's General after her death, so she had kept it a secret until now.
He also hoped that he could hide it forever.
"Lord Ji?" The little eunuch noticed that she was lost in thought and called out to her.
Only then did she come back to her senses and retracted her gaze from the crack in the door.
The eunuch replied, "The Emperor is still waiting for Lord Ji in the Imperial Garden."
"Eunuch, please lead the way."
"Yes."
Before she reached the pavilion in the Imperial Garden, she saw Wei Yi standing outside waiting for her. When he saw her, he immediately revealed a pure smile.
In front of Ji Yunshu, he would always be the Wei Yi of the past.
Inside the pavilion, Wei Yi had already prepared her favorite pastries.
After the two of them sat down, he kept putting pastries in front of her.
"Shu 'er, eat more. If it's not enough, I will order someone to go to the Imperial Kitchen to make more."
In the past six months, he had never addressed her as' this emperor 'in front of her.
Ji Yunshu looked at the mountain of pastries in front of her and felt a bit helpless. She smiled and said, "How can I eat so much? You should eat more for yourself. "
After she finished speaking, she put a piece of pastry in front of his mouth.
Wei Yi was very happy, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
He ate the pastry in one gulp.
This was probably the best he had eaten in a while. The eunuchs and palace maids were already used to this sight. Everyone knew that the emperor not only loved Magistrate Ji, but also adored her. It was no wonder that Magistrate Ji was not only intelligent, but also charming. Anyone who saw her would fall in love with her. Even Prince Rong, who was rumored to be uninterested in women, was attracted by her.
He was "captured".
From the moment Ji Yunshu arrived, Wei Yi's gentle gaze never left her. But the more he looked, the more his heart ached. "Look at you, it's only been a month, how did you lose so much weight? That day when Jing Rong entered the palace, he said that the Ministry of Justice has been very busy recently and you can't leave. But no matter how busy you are, you can't ignore your health. I brought you some tonics, did you eat them? If it was finished,
I'll order my men to prepare more later. "
She put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine."
The words "Your Majesty"!
It was like a knife was ruthlessly stabbed into Wei Yi's chest.
He thought that nothing had changed between them. He thought that if he called her Shu 'er, she would call him Wei Yi like before. However, he did not know when it started, but the word that came out of her mouth the most was not' Wei Yi ', but' Your Majesty '.
That feeling of loss and discomfort had tormented him many times in the past six months.
He lowered his gloomy eyes and waved his hand, ordering the eunuchs and palace maids in the pavilion. "All of you can withdraw."
"Yes."
Only the two of them were left.
He stared at Ji Yunshu and said in a very serious tone, "Shu 'er, between you and me, there has never been a difference between an emperor and a subject."
He deliberately emphasized.
Ji Yunshu understood his meaning. She could also hear the sadness and loneliness in his voice.
But …
Others were present, so she couldn't forget her etiquette.
Even as a prince, Jing Rong had to respectfully address him as "Your Majesty" in front of everyone, not to mention she was just a prison official.
No matter how good their relationship was, in the end, there was still a difference between an emperor and a subject!
She solemnly told him, "Wei Yi, as long as you are the emperor, I will be your subject. Honoring you as' Your Majesty 'is something I should do."
"But we are not emperor and subject." Wei Yi said, "You are my only family in this world."
Family.
Ji Yunshu's heart trembled as she met his sad eyes. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, Wei Yi held her fair hand.
"From now on, there is no one else. Can you just call me Wei Yi?"
His tone was almost pleading.
Ji Yunshu was silent for a moment, then she nodded. At the same time, she pulled her hand out of his grasp.
