Everything that happened in the past.
Like a fleeting cloud! After Wei Yi finished speaking, he sneered and said, "Your Imperial Father stole the Imperial Duke's most beloved woman in the past. Today, he is doing the same thing. This is probably … the will of the heavens." As he spoke, he took two steps back and looked at the screen with his back facing the dragon engraved on it. The hatred in his eyes grew.
Bit by bit, it came out with a hint of desolation.
His body was trembling. With a sorrowful expression, he said, "Every time I close my eyes, the days I spent with Shu 'er in Jinjiang flashed before my eyes. We were carefree and carefree. I accompanied her and she accompanied me. I even dreamt that we did not come to the capital and stayed in Jinjiang. You never appeared either. But … But …"
When I woke up from my dream, I realized that I was deceiving myself! "
He smiled.
She turned around to look at Jing Rong.
"It was you who destroyed my dream, and it was you who forced me to this step. Everything was because of you! Not only do you want to snatch Shu 'er away, but you also want to snatch my world. You want me to become your puppet and be manipulated by you. Then, you can rightfully become the regent! "He rebuked.
Extreme hatred!
The title Prince Regent was too serious! Jing Rong frowned and a trace of sadness flashed through his eyes. He solemnly told Wei Yi, "When you first ascended the throne, I supported you. I didn't want to suppress you, nor did I want to compete with you. I don't want to be the regent either. As for the Imperial Duke's death, I did promise you to spare his life, but the circumstances were as such.
Because of that, I had no choice but to do this. I have nothing to say if you have resentment in your heart, but no matter how much you hate me, you shouldn't have turned the entire imperial court into a pile of loose sand and killed innocent people, not even sparing Lord Qin. " "We did not send anyone to kill Qin Shiyu. We only wanted to capture him and use him as a 'sharp weapon' to threaten you in the future. Who would have thought that he would suddenly suffer from an unmentionable illness? Before we could capture him, he died. As for Yu Dali, we only wanted to use him to bring Shu 'er back to the capital. If she knew that Yu Dali was going to be executed, with her temperament, she would definitely come back. Coincidentally, Qin Shiyu's death gave her a helping hand. You really came back! As for the officials who have been promoted, they are indeed very problematic. But my purpose is to …
I will dismiss all your subordinates and make an example out of them. I want everyone to know that the Great Lin's Emperor doesn't belong to you, but to me. I don't want to live under your shadow forever! "
The sound was as loud as a bell!
Now, Jing Rong could no longer find the clear and cold aura in Wei Yi's eyes. All that was left was a desire for power and ambition.
However —
Fortunately, Jing Rong was relieved that Wei Yi did not kill Qin Shiyu. Otherwise, he would have become the second Imperial Duke!
…
Finally, Jing Rong left.
Wei Yi was the only one left in the hall.
It was so empty that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
He just stood there, staring blankly at the closed doors in the distance.
He seemed very lonely.
After a long time —
He walked to the calligraphy and looked at the words that Jing Rong had added. The anger in his heart surged to the top of his head again. He grabbed the paper on the table, crumpled it into a ball, tore it into pieces, and threw it on the ground. With a flick of his sleeve, the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table were all swept to the ground.
There was a series of crackling sounds.
Then, he also punched it.
"Bang!"
His fist trembled, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Jing Rong, you forced me to do this!
…
Coming out of Fuyang Hall, Jing Rong's face was expressionless, and his eyes were lifeless. It was as if nothing had happened.
Outside the palace gates.
Lord Li waited beside the carriage for a long time.
He was extremely anxious.
When the person beside him came out of the palace, he saw Lord Li.
He stood beside the carriage and waited anxiously, glancing at the palace gates from time to time.
"Why isn't he out yet?"
He muttered to himself for a long time.
The coachman couldn't wait any longer. He had to rush back to eat breakfast. It was almost noon, why was his master still dawdling? Who was he waiting for? How annoying!
"Lord, who are you waiting for?"
Lord Li ignored him.
The coachman was bored and could only shut his mouth.
Lord Li waited a little longer, thinking, 'Should I go directly to Prince Rong's estate?'
Just as he was thinking, Jing Rong came out.
He hurriedly walked forward, and with a guilty expression, he called out, "Prince Rong."
When Jing Rong came back to his senses, he realized that he had already left the palace. He glanced at Lord Li and roughly guessed why he was waiting for him here.
"Lord Li, this is …?"
He lowered his voice and sighed, "Regarding the matter of Official Yu, this lowly official was busy closing the case. I presume that Lord Ji has already guessed it, so naturally, I couldn't hide it from you. It's really … difficult to disobey an imperial order ah!"
Jing Rong's face was cold, and he glanced at him, "This matter is already in the past, no need to mention it again."
"Yes!"
Jing Rong was about to leave, but he suddenly stopped. "Lord Li."
"This lowly official is here."
He turned around and reminded Lord Li, "What you said just now, you are not allowed to say it again."
Lord Li's expression stiffened, and he quickly responded, "Yes, this lowly official will definitely keep his mouth shut. I won't say a word more."
"It's good that you understand."
Jing Rong boarded the carriage that was already prepared outside the palace and left.
Lord Li slowly straightened his back, lifted his sleeve to wipe his sweat, and hurriedly boarded the carriage to go to work at the Ministry of Justice.
Last night, Ji Yunshu tried the case and discussed the case file with Jiang Lan. When she returned, she closed her door and rested. She slept all the way until noon, when the sun rose and the air was warm. When she woke up, she heard that the Emperor had ordered Yu Dali to be released. However, due to various reasons, he had no choice but to withdraw.
He was the Chancellor of the Supreme Court, and the position of Chancellor was immediately taken up by the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works, Wang Ye.
Wang Ye?
Ji Yunshu wasn't very familiar with him, but she had met him once or twice. He was in his forties, and he looked well-behaved, but there was always a trace of darkness in his eyes, which made people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, Ji Yunshu had never spoken to him. However, they were in the same circle, and she would occasionally hear some stories about Wang Ye. She said that he looked generous and extravagant, but in reality, he was a stingy miser. Moreover, he was very strong-willed, and he didn't hesitate to step on others for his own benefit. It was said that once, when the Ministry of Works presided over the construction of the river embankment, he filled his own pockets and embezzled the black money.
During the construction of the river embankment, he filled his own pockets and embezzled the black-hearted money involved. He made a lot of money, but until now, no one had pursued the matter, saying that there was insufficient evidence. Even the Imperial Censorate did not convict him, and in the end, the matter could only be left unsettled. However, that fellow had now been promoted from a Right Assistant Minister to a Chancellor of the Supreme Court.
