"Ah!"
That was Mu Jin's last cry of pain.
It shook the hall.
Wei Yi's crimson imperial robe was stained with fresh blood. He clenched his fists tightly as he stared blankly for a moment.
Mu Jin's mouth was full of blood, and the half of her tongue that had been cut off fell to the ground, dripping with blood. At this moment, her entire body was trembling, and her head was lowered. She desperately used both her hands to support herself on the ground, struggling at death's door.
The blood in his mouth flowed down continuously, forming a long strand of hair.
Terrifying!
Wei Yi reached out and grabbed her lower jaw, which was covered in blood. He lifted her limp head up.
His clear eyes suddenly turned cold. "What belongs to me, no one can take it away from me!"
"Ah …" Mu Jin's mouth was full of blood.
"You can rest in peace … and go."
Wei Yi let go of her.
Mu Jin fell to the ground. Her fingernails dug into the floor, dripping with blood.
She opened her mouth and died from blood loss.
Wei Yi coldly looked at her corpse. There was not a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
Liu Ze and two eunuchs came in.
They jumped in fright when they saw the scene in front of them.
"Guards!"
The guards rushed in and surrounded the dead Mu Jin.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Liu Ze asked.
Wei Yi was expressionless. He flicked his sleeve.
"Throw it out."
…
A few days later.
The entire Rong Estate was busy. Tomorrow, Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu would leave the capital.
During the past few days, the bamboo basket had been used to make several sets of clothes. Then, he placed them into Ji Yunshu's luggage. He also reminded her, "Miss, I don't know when you'll be back. I rushed to make some clothes and put them in the smallest box, the bottom layer. If the weather turns cold, you must remember to put on more clothes. You must be careful on the road. Miss, your health is not good, and you will be even more worried.
You must remember what you should eat and what you shouldn't eat. I also prepared some medicine in the box. Oh, right … "
He rattled off a whole bunch of things!
Ji Yunshu listened to him patiently.
"Bamboo Basket, don't worry. His Highness is with me. I will be fine."
"Yes."
"I've already spoken to Uncle Lu. He promised me that if you want to leave the manor, you can do so at any time."
"I'll wait for you to come back."
"If you get married, will you still wait for me?"
"I'm not marrying!" Bamboo Basket was bashful.
"You little girl." Ji Yunshu lightly tapped her forehead with a finger.
Bamboo Basket rubbed her forehead and chuckled. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she asked, "But Miss, where are you and Wangye going?"
"To Houliao!"
"Hou Liao? Are you going to look for Young Master Mo? "
"Yes."
"I heard that Houliao is an endless grassland. The people there eat whole roasted sheep and drink fresh milk. At night, they even have bonfires! If only I could go too. "
His face was filled with longing.
Ji Yunshu smiled as she looked at the little girl's expression. She walked to the dressing table and began to arrange her two sandalwood boxes.
He took out the things inside and wiped them one by one.
These were her two treasures. No matter where she went, she had to bring them along!
The next day.
Many officials came to see them off.
Jing Rong ordered Lu Jiang, "If anything happens in the capital, you must inform me immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured."
At this moment, Ji Yunshu came out of her residence. She carried her two sandalwood boxes and walked to the side of the carriage. Her face was full of thoughts.
She looked in the direction of the palace.
Jing Rong walked to her side and asked, "Are you really not going to the palace to say goodbye to Wei Yi?"
She lowered her eyes and shook her head. "There's no need."
"Don't think too much. Wei Yi will be fine. Even if something happens, Uncle Lu will inform us immediately."
"Yes."
This time, Jing Rong only allowed Lang Po, Shi Ziran, and a few guards to follow them.
The carriage went all the way from Prince Rong's residence to the capital's gates.
Ji Yunshu lifted the curtain. Outside, the sun was scorching hot. Endless streams of carriages and people came and went. The bustling capital was in full view.
She had waited for this day.
Jing Rong smiled. "What's wrong? Can't bear to part?"
"Of course not!" She looked at him and said, "To be able to leave the capital with you and go to the places we want to go, I don't know how long I've been dreaming!"
Jing Rong gently pulled her into his arms.
"From now on, we will always be together, even if we have to go to the ends of the earth."
…
In the palace.
Wei Yi stood on the city gate tower, calmly looking down at the palace with red walls and green tiles. The scorching sun was overhead, but he did not feel the slightest bit of warmth.
Half a year ago, it was here that Jing Rong said he believed he would become a good emperor.
Half a year later, he did it.
He was diligent and loved the people, putting them first.
But among all the civil and military officials, was there anyone who respected him?
Thinking of this, he found it laughable.
At this time …
Shen Zhangqin arrived.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Wei Yi turned his back to him and did not speak.
Shen Zhangqin could only stand there.
After a long time …
"Lord Shen."
"This official is here."
"What can you see when you look down from here?" Wei Yi asked.
Shen Zhangqin did not understand. He walked to the gate tower and looked down.
He replied, "Your Majesty, this official only sees the palace."
"What else?"
"Also … this official is stupid."
Wei Yi smiled and looked sideways at him. "Lord Shen, it's not that you are stupid, but what we see is different from what you see."
"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty." Shen Zhangqin was at a loss.
The corners of his lips curled up. His gaze swept across the palace below, and he uttered two words, "The world!"
The world!
Full of deterrence!
"What we see … is the world."
Shen Zhangqin was shocked.
At this moment, Wei Yi's face showed his desire to control power.
He looked like a completely different person.
Was this still the yes-man little Wei Yi?
"Only now do I understand that everyone sees things differently."
Huh?
Shen Zhangqin looked suspicious.
Wei Yi glanced at him. "Lord Shen, do you know why we summoned you here?"
"This official does not know."
"Didn't you want us to decree a marriage for you?"
Ah!
Shen Zhangqin's eyes widened. "Yes, this official will only acknowledge Second Miss Ji in this life."
"Good. We can decree her to enter the capital, and also decree a marriage."
"Really?" Shen Zhangqin was very excited. He immediately lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, kowtowing. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Get up first. We haven't finished."
Shen Zhangqin stood up.
Wei Yi said, "Lord Shen, we can help you. You should also help us."
"As long as Your Majesty can decree a marriage between this official and Second Miss Ji, this official is willing to do anything for Your Majesty."
"Good! With these words, we can rest assured. "
Wei Yi's thin lips curved. He raised his head and looked at the sun that was like a fireball.
Some things should be returned.
