At this moment, inside the hall.
After meeting Ji Wanxin, Ji Yunshu went to the Ministry of Justice and busied herself until nightfall before returning. At this time, she was discussing some matters with Jing Rong.
Ever since the attack on the capital, the two of them had been frowning and worried.
They hadn't relaxed for even a moment.
Jing Rong asked her, "How's the case at the Yu Estate?"
Ji Yunshu said in a tone that was hard to understand, "Perhaps he has already solved half of it."
"Half? What about the other half? "
"I don't know." She shook her head.
It was hard to fathom!
Jing Rong asked again, "I heard you went to Exquisite Garments?"
She nodded, "Yes."
He guessed, "So this case might be related to the garments?"
"Hmm … probably." Her answer was vague, "Today, I ran into my second sister."
Ji Wanxin?
Jing Rong was startled, "What happened?"
"She told me that the imperial edict was issued by the Emperor. He ordered someone to send it to Jinjiang and told her to immediately enter the palace and take up the post of embroidery maid."
Bang! Jing Rong clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. With a stern expression, he scolded, "Is he crazy?"
He was referring to Wei Yi!
"Jing Rong." Her expression was solemn as she reminded him, "Unless it's absolutely necessary, you must not take that step!"
Jing Rong nodded, "I know."
"The posthumous edict is of great importance. Not only is it related to the succession of the Great Lin's throne, but it will also implicate many others. After all, it's a matter of the entire world! If it gets out of hand, it will be difficult to resolve. "That posthumous edict was related to the Great Lin! If Jing Rong took out the late emperor's posthumous edict to force Wei Yi to abdicate, it would certainly cause turmoil in the imperial court. If the situation couldn't be sorted out, people with ulterior motives would take advantage of the situation. At that time, no one would be able to clean up the mess.
Therefore, even if he wanted to use the late emperor's posthumous edict, there must be a suitable opportunity.
Jing Rong got up.
After taking a few steps, he looked out the window, and a trace of guilt flashed across his face. "It was my decision to hand over the throne to Wei Yi, and it is also because of me that he has become like this. Now, the only thing I can do is to help him clean up the mess in the court, and think of a way … to make him turn back."
Ji Yunshu walked to his side and held his hand. "It's not your fault!"
Their eyes met.
Jing Rong asked, "Are you sad?"
She said, "I'm sad, of course I'm sad, but so what if I'm sad? I just want to solve this case as soon as possible. I don't want to think about anything else. Maybe this is the only way I can feel better. "
Her eyes were moist.
Jing Rong held his hand but did not know how to comfort him.
At this time, Lu Jiang came in and said, "Your Highness, Official Yu is here."
Jing Rong said, "Invite him in."
After a while, Official Yu and Yu Wei came in.
"Greetings, Prince."
"Why is Official Yu here so late?"
Official Yu cupped his hands in greeting, "This commoner no longer has an official position."
He reminded Jing Rong.
"You old fox, why are you playing riddles in front of me?"
"This commoner dares not." He turned to Ji Yunshu. "Actually, I came here today to thank Lord Ji. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my head would have rolled on the ground."
Ji Yunshu said, "Official Yu is too polite. I've said before, if you didn't kill anyone, I will definitely clear your name."
"No matter what, if it weren't for Prince Rong and Lord Ji, this commoner's life …" He smiled bitterly and sighed.
Jing Rong asked, "Did you come here today for something?"
"I really can't hide it from Your Highness. Today, I came to know about the court …"
Jing Rong suddenly interrupted, "Official Yu, you are no longer a court official, so you shouldn't ask too much about court matters. This Prince knows that you care about the court, but sometimes it's not bad to be a muddle-headed person."
"This commoner is just worried."
"As long as this Prince is in the capital, you don't need to worry. This Prince also knows the purpose of your visit today, but this Prince will still say the same thing. You don't need to worry about things that don't belong to you. Just stay at home and recuperate."
Official Yu had a thousand words in his heart, but they were all seen through by Jing Rong. He had no choice but to swallow them all.
"Yes, this commoner understands."
He said no more.
Yu Wei stood at the side and said to Prince Rong, "This lowly official is willing to serve Your Highness. As long as Your Highness says the word, this lowly official will not refuse."
Jing Rong looked him up and down. "This Prince understands. If there's anything you can do to help, I will naturally let you know."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Suddenly …
Ji Yunshu noticed the abnormality on Yu Wei's wrist and asked, "Judge Yu, what happened to your hand?"
Yu Wei pulled up his sleeve, revealing the densely packed red rash. He said, "I got a rash recently and have already seen a doctor. It's not very serious, and it's a common disease."
"Oh? Is it common? "
"Minister Wang of the Ministry of Works also has this disease. In fact, it's just a minor disease. It usually develops at the end of autumn, as long as you don't drink for three months."
Don't drink!
Ji Yunshu was startled, and the confusion in her heart seemed to be resolved.
Then …
She called out to the door, "Ziran!"
Shi Ziran immediately came in, "What orders does Miss Ji have?"
"I might have to trouble you."
Huh?
Shi Ziran was puzzled, "Miss Ji, what do you mean?"
Ji Yunshu said solemnly, "I want you to follow the big boss of Exquisite Garments, Chen Youfu, starting tomorrow."
"Follow someone?"
"That's right. You have to follow his every move. If there's anything out of the ordinary, inform me as soon as possible.
Shi Ziran was puzzled, "Why do you want me to follow Chen Youfu? Does it have anything to do with your Highness investigating those officials? "
Ji Yunshu hesitated, "Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't."
Jing Rong said, "Just follow Yunshu's instructions."
"Yes, Your Highness." Shi Ziran accepted the order.
Ji Yunshu then said to Yu Wei, "There's one more thing that I might have to trouble Judge Yu with."
Yu Wei said seriously, "Lord Ji saved my father. I'm willing to climb a mountain of swords or dive into a sea of flames."
Haha!
Ji Yunshu laughed, "It's not that serious."
"Please speak."
"I heard that you're on good terms with Minister Wang Zhe of the Ministry of Justice. Make an appointment with him tomorrow and mention the matter I just told Ziran."
"Ah?" Yu Wei was surprised, "Since Lord Ji asked Brother Shi to follow someone, it should be a secret. Why did you tell Wang Zhe?"
"It's not convenient to explain the reason. Judge Yu, you just have to reveal it."
Yu Wei nodded, "Yes."
