She was still hovering in the middle of the night!
Water!
According to the records, one of the first two victims died at midnight, while the other died at midnight. However, the third victim's time of death was not specified. So … any time would do!
"Ji Yunshu, I will send you on your way today. I will bury you with the Imperial Duke."
"Miss Mu Jin, it's useless to kill me." Ji Yunshu panted as she tried to persuade her.
"Why? Are you afraid? "
"What can you do even if you kill me today? The Imperial Duke is already dead, and you won't be able to escape the capital. " Mu Jin smiled disdainfully. "Don't forget, if I can disguise myself as Jiao Shiniang to enter the capital, I can disguise myself as someone else to leave." She paused for a moment before continuing, "You don't have to be afraid. After you die, the next person I want to kill is that Prince. He will soon accompany you in the afterlife.
You won't be so lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs, and the two of you can be a pair of lovebirds! " "Miss Mu Jin, think about it. The current Emperor of Great Lin is the Imperial Duke's biological son. The late Emperor passed the throne to him, which is also a form of compensation to the Imperial Duke's residence. The current Emperor will no longer pursue the matter of the Imperial Duke's residence, so why should you be so stubborn? The Imperial Duke was guilty of treason when he was alive, and you killed me.
If you kill me, it will be the same as framing the current emperor. How will the people of the world view you? What will the court officials think of you? If you really want to repay him, you shouldn't have stirred up a fight between the Imperial Duke, the imperial family, and the court. You're harming yourself and the Emperor! "
Huh?
The current Emperor was Wei Yi, the youngest son of the Imperial Duke.
Of course, she didn't want to cause trouble for the Emperor. After all, Wei Yi had only been the Emperor for half a year, and the situation in the court had yet to stabilize. If the Imperial Duke's accomplices were to suddenly appear and kill Lord Ji, who held a high position in the court, it would definitely cause a commotion.
Would Wei Yi still be able to sit on the throne?
Ji Yunshu continued, "Stop. Think of it as doing it for the Emperor's sake."
"…"
Mu Jin's heart wavered, and her eyes flickered.
But …
"Shut up!" She suddenly roared, "If I kill you, no one will know who I am, and neither the Imperial Duke nor the Emperor will be implicated."
All his hesitation had turned into bubbles!
The next moment, Mu Jin grabbed the back of the chair with an evil smile on her face.
"You'd better die."
Then —
He exerted force on his wrist and pushed the chair away.
"Plop!"
There was a splash.
Ji Yunshu fell into the water. The cold water immediately spread over her body and seeped into her skin.
"Hahaha …" Mu Jin couldn't stop laughing.
The more she struggled, the faster she fell. "Mu Jin, you can't change anything. Don't make the same mistake again!"
"Haha, what I want … is your death!"
Because there was a stone tied to her leg, her body sank even faster. The lake water had already reached her shoulders, neck, and chin …
He choked on it.
"Cough, cough, cough …" She was a non-swimmer and had a natural fear of water.
In the end, he could only let his body gradually sink into the water.
It was over the top of his head!
No matter how hard she struggled, she could not break free from the rope on her hands.
"Gulp, gulp …" She kept choking on the water.
She widened her eyes and saw Mu Jin's figure swaying with the waves on the shore. Mu Jin had a strange and proud smile on her face.
"Ugh … Ugh …"
She instinctively tried to breathe, but the moment she did, the water rushed into her nose and mouth. Her whole body was like a blender, churning in agony.
Her eyes couldn't help but widen.
Her body gradually lost strength in her frantic struggle.
In the end, the rippling water gradually turned into a white light in front of her eyes.
It was getting brighter and brighter!
At the moment of death, the only person she could think of was Jing Rong.
The memories of the two of them together flashed in her mind.
Jing Rong, Jing Rong …
She kept calling his name in her heart.
"Bang!" A loud sound rang out.
The white light seemed to have been abruptly torn apart by someone. She saw a figure frantically swimming towards her as she sank to the bottom of the lake. Her will to live made her suddenly sober up at that moment. She saw that person clearly — — Jing Rong!
It's him!
Jing Rong swam with all his might and tightly grabbed her body.
The two of them looked at each other. Ji Yunshu wasn't afraid of anything.
As long as he was here, all her fears would disappear. Jing Rong tried his best to pull her up, but the stone tied to her leg was stuck between two large rocks at the bottom of the lake. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it out. Jing Rong tried to untie the rope, but Mu Jin's knots seemed to have no head or tail. The more he untied, the tighter it became. He immediately took out the ring that he always wore.
Jing Rong immediately took out his dagger to cut the rope, but he didn't know what it was made of. It was very hard and difficult to cut.
It looked like Mu Jin had already made preparations to kill her!
At this moment, several guards appeared at the bottom of the lake to rescue her. The master and disciple broke the two rocks apart, but it was useless.
"Ugh …" Ji Yunshu used the last bit of her strength to shake her head at Jing Rong, hinting him not to save her and to quickly go up.
Jing Rong didn't listen and continued to cut the rope like crazy.
Ji Yunshu used up her last breath and no longer had the strength to hold on.
Her body trembled a few times, and her eyes slowly closed. She hung her head …
On the shore.
Mu Jin was already caught by two guards, but she didn't show the slightest fear and laughed loudly.
Wei Yi, who was waiting anxiously, walked in front of her. His clear eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"If anything happens to Yunshu, I will kill you with my own hands."
Mu Jin was startled. "Can Your Majesty really let go of the dozens of lives in the Imperial Duke's residence? That prince killed your father with his own hands. He is your enemy, so you should kill him. "
"Shut up!" Wei Yi glared at her with a gloomy expression. "Take her to the Ministry of Justice!"
"Yes."
The guards took Mu Jin away.
She kept shouting, "They killed the Imperial Duke. You should hate them and kill them."
…
Her voice echoed for a long time.
At the bottom of the lake, Jing Rong looked at the fainted Ji Yunshu. He cut the rope until his hands were covered in blood, but he didn't dare to let go.
Finally …
The rope broke!
Ji Yunshu's body loosened from the chair, and he immediately pulled her up.
They reached the surface of the lake.
"Your Highness!" The guards on the shore pulled the two of them up.
When they reached the shore, Jing Rong placed her on the ground and used his hands to press her stomach.
"Yunshu, Yunshu …" He shouted, "I won't allow you to die. Do you hear me? I won't allow you to die. Do you hear me?"
Wei Yi trembled all over and shouted, "Shu 'er, do you hear me? Shu 'er … "
There was no movement.
Suddenly …
