Jing Rong felt that he was wrong!
He regretted it even more.
If he hadn't handed over the throne to Wei Yi, perhaps Wei Yi wouldn't have ended up like this.
In the end, he was the main culprit!
Wei Yi staggered a few steps after listening to Jing Rong's sigh. "So, you still think that I have something to do with Lord Qin's death?" Jing Rong's heart ached, but at the same time, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. He sternly said, "Your Majesty must know that there have never been bandits in the capital region. Even if there were, no one would dare to kill Lord Qin! Lord Qin was born as a general and has fought on the battlefield for many years. Everyone in the Great Lin knows about him.
Not to mention the bandits, they wouldn't even dare to approach his carriage unless someone gave the order to confuse them and kill them in the name of bandits. The only person who would dare to give the order to kill Lord Qin is Your Majesty. "
Absolute!
Wei Yi placed one hand on the table and propped himself up. His eyes darkened. "Jing Rong, how can you suspect that I gave the order to kill Lord Qin? You and Shu 'er know better than anyone what kind of person I am. "
Haha.
Jing Rong said, "On the way back to the capital, I hoped that I was overthinking things. But after everything that happened in the court, I couldn't help but suspect you!"
"Whenever an official is promoted to the imperial court, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue will investigate the official's file and conduct to see if the official's character is clean. Since the investigation is so detailed, how can you not see that there is something wrong with the officials you promoted? Since there are problems, why use them? As for those officials you dismissed one by one, they had all been officials in the imperial court for decades. They had devoted themselves to their work, and everything they had done could be discussed publicly! Why would they use their power to take bribes and bend the law? Secretly plotting against an official? In the short span of two months, all those groundless charges were pinned on their heads. This time, it would be better for them.
Wasn't this too much of a coincidence? There was also Lord Yu's case. Although all the evidence pointed to him as the murderer, there were many suspicious points. The so-called evidence was not enough to convict him, but Lord Li suddenly ordered for the case to be closed as soon as possible. If it weren't for Yunshu, Lord Yu would have been dead by now.
Otherwise, the truth of this case would never come to light! Official Li's actions are not his style, nor is it the style of the entire Ministry of Justice. Unless someone secretly ordered him to immediately close the case and convict Official Yu of murder, the only person who can order Official Li to close the case is you! "
Jing Rong's aura was biting cold, threatening Wei Yi.
At this moment, Wei Yi looked as if he had been skinned alive. He couldn't hide even the slightest bit of nervousness or guilt from his face and eyes. Instead, he looked like a magnanimous gentleman. However, there was a trace of indiscernible ruthlessness between his brows.
He said, "Do you know that your words just now are enough to bring about a fatal disaster?"
Reminder! "You are the Great Lin's Son of Heaven. The entire world is yours. A single word from you is enough to make it difficult for the Human Emperor to disobey! But now, you're just like the piece of calligraphy you wrote. It's obviously a good piece of poetry, but you just had to add a few strokes to it, causing good to become evil and good to become good.
Something bad happened. "
"…"
"Wei Yi, how … how did you become like this?"
His heart ached.
When he said the last word, Wei Yi felt incomparably relaxed.
It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
He could finally shed the layer of disguise he wore. He no longer had to live under that fake skin and continue to be a fool!
His lips curled up, and his eyes reflected a gloomy coldness.
It was not only the desire for power.
There was also hatred.
There was also the unwillingness in his heart.
He laughed, and his handsome face was suffused with a wisp of ruthlessness.
He was a completely different person from a moment ago.
At this moment, the dark purple glaze screen behind him was engraved with three lifelike dragons. The sharp eyes of the dragons seemed to be looking at him, and the sharp claws seemed ready to pounce on him.
After a while, his cold voice rang out, "Since you already know, there's no point in me talking to you anymore."
Jing Rong's expression froze.
"Perhaps you think that I am ruthless, but the one who is truly ruthless is not me, but you!" Wei Yi rebuked.
The two of them looked at each other.
There was a hidden force in each other's eyes. Wei Yi walked around the long table in front of him and stood in front of Jing Rong. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Ever since I ascended the throne, the courtiers have been talking about me because of my identity. They all say that I am a fool, a fool who doesn't even know what is good or bad. Although you helped me stabilize my foundation, you also suppressed me! Everyone says that you're the first Regent of the Great Lin and that I'm just a useless puppet. For half a year, I sat on that dragon throne and was addressed as the Emperor. I held the imperial seal that governs the world in my hand and stood high above everyone else. But when did those courtiers who had attached themselves to you ever listen to a single word from me? I, the Emperor, have been waiting.
Until now, I have been unable to walk out of your fence. I have been hesitant to move forward, living in your shadow. "
It turned out that resentment had been accumulating in his heart all this time.
Jing Rong said coldly, "You dismissed those officials, killed Lord Qin, and wanted to kill Lord Yu. All of this was to keep me in check." Wei Yi raised his eyebrows. "When the Imperial Duke led his troops to besiege the late Emperor, you promised me that … you would spare his life! But Jing Rong, you killed him with your own hands. You held a sword and stabbed it into his chest. No matter how many mistakes he made, in the end, he was still … My father!
But Jing Rong, you killed him with your own hands.
His voice trembled.
What he did was for revenge.
Jing Rong finally understood. He said, "So, you have never let go of this matter in your heart! So, you have never let go of Yunshu, right? " When Ji Yunshu was mentioned, Wei Yi's fierce gaze faded slightly. His expression was sad as he confessed, "Yes, in my heart, whether it is now or in the future, I have never let go of her! Originally, when we were in Jinjiang, I had already set up a marriage contract with Shu 'er. The one who should have married her should have been me.
For her, I was willing to give up the whole empire, but she only had you in her heart. No matter how well I treated her, she only saw me as family. "
Then, he smiled bitterly. "Family? These two words have become the biggest obstacle between us. It is destined that we will never be able to overcome it in this lifetime. From the day you took her away from the capital, I knew that I would lose her for the rest of my life, and all I have left is this country! "
However, Wei Yi was pitiful.
He was unfamiliar.
He was also lonely.
He endured the pain of losing everything and also the great sorrow in his heart.
