Chapter 411 The Concubine's Sister Travels Through Time VS The First Sister Reborn (17)

"You did it on purpose." After everyone left, Shi Yi walked over to Ge Mingyi's bed and said bluntly.

"Since you know, why bother saying more?" Ge Mingyi tore off her disguise, sat up and looked at her.

"Risking your life is not too risky."

"I bet you'll come in time."

After Ge Mingyi said this, the atmosphere between the two fell silent.

"Why do you believe that I will come?" Shi Yi asked again.

"Although you stay out of everything, you don't want to see me get into trouble." Ge Mingyi said what she thought.

"You won the bet this time, congratulations." Having said that, there was no point in asking more questions.

"I really have to thank you today." Ge Mingyi's expression became serious, "I remember your kindness today. If I really make a name for myself one day, I will definitely let you go."

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill your chances of success now?" Shi Yi looked at her with some amusement.

Ge Mingyi looked into her eyes seriously and replied, "You won't. You are not that kind of person." She hesitated for a moment and said, "If you really wanted to harm me, I would have died several times."

Although she had never seen the methods of this second sister, the rules of this second sister's courtyard were the most strict in the entire Ge Mansion. If she could discipline the servants well, her methods would not be bad.

"Be careful outside. Don't be too picky in everything. The tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

"I will take your advice as sincere." Ge Mingyi smiled for a while and suddenly turned her head away.

She found that the Ge family, which could make her lose her life at any time, didn't seem so bad. At least there was still a legitimate sister who was worried about her. It was just a pity. She was always the legitimate daughter, and she was always the concubine's daughter. Their identities were never equal. Naturally, they could not be true sisters.

"I never regret the things I choose." Ge Mingyi was firm in his thoughts.

Shi Yi didn't say anything else and turned to walk out. Ge Mingyi watched her back gradually disappear from sight, and something suddenly occurred in her heart. This thing came so fiercely and unexpectedly that she was almost unable to suppress it.

She turned her head away suddenly, covered her head with a quilt, hugged her thin body, and repeatedly determined the idea of ​​"I must stand out and get rid of the Ge family and break the difference between legitimate and illegitimate status", and then she felt much better.

The news that the Ge family's concubine's daughter was sick and moved to another courtyard did not cause any waves in Kyoto. Kyoto was in a turmoil at this time because of a major event - the eldest prince who went south to investigate the case of corruption in disaster relief funds suddenly disappeared.

After the southern officials collectively wrote a letter to report the matter, the emperor was furious on the spot and threatened that if the eldest prince could not be found, all southern officials would be dismissed and investigated. The officials in the court who had contact with the southern officials were trembling for a while and drew a line with them one after another.

After the disappearance of the eldest prince, several major events happened in the royal family.

The second prince took the initiative to ask the emperor to marry the concubine of the Ge family as a concubine, and was accepted.

The third prince found a confidante in a place of fireworks and kept her in the royal courtyard, but the news leaked out accidentally.

The fourth prince chose the second daughter of the Ge family as his principal wife, but in the end the emperor issued an imperial decree: Miss Zhao Lilang of the Zhao family was the principal wife, and the second daughter of the Ge family was the concubine.

The fact that the second prince and the fourth prince took the initiative to ask the emperor to marry the daughter of the Ge family caused a lot of discussion among the noble ladies in Kyoto. It also made the second daughter of the Ge family, Ge Shiyi, who was still waiting to be married, more popular. For a while, the matchmakers in Kyoto almost broke the door of the Ge family. The second daughter of the Ge family suddenly fell seriously ill and was taken to the countryside courtyard by the mistress of the Ge family for recuperation.

Ge Mingyi, who was about to become the second prince's wife, was naturally proud. Ge Yuyi was so angry that she broke many furnishings in the mansion. She didn't expect Ge Mingyi to have such means. She hooked up with the second prince so soon after moving out of the mansion. Although the second prince's final outcome was not good, his status was there, so he would always have a moment of glory. And she had worked hard for so long, and used many things in her previous life to please the fourth prince, which aroused his suspicion. In the end, she didn't even get the position of the queen, and was bullied by Zhao Lilang, who was on good terms with Ge Mingyi. But the imperial decree of marriage had been issued, and her struggle was futile.

In September, there was finally news from the eldest prince. He sent people to bring all the collected evidence to Kyoto, but there was still no trace of him.

All the southern officials involved in the case of corruption in disaster relief money were investigated by the emperor, but the emperor was in trouble about how to deal with some people. This corruption was from top to bottom, and many senior officials in the court were also involved. The wide range of involvement made the emperor feel frightened. In the end, he let the matter go. Even the evidence of crimes found by the eldest prince was burned in front of all the officials of the court. He knew very well that this country could not be shaken. But he really pitted the eldest prince.

Some court officials who did not stand on the side knew that what they had done was known to the eldest prince. Once the eldest prince came to power, they would not have a good life, so they changed their positions and stood for the second prince or the fourth prince. As a result, the power of the eldest prince, who was originally the most favored by the emperor, was not as strong as these two younger brothers.

Jiangnan Ge Family Hot Spring Villa.

"Your hot spring is better than the royal one." The young man half-opened his robe and immersed himself in the water. The hot steam on the water surface wet his hair.

A neatly dressed woman was kneeling on the platform behind him, combing his hair.

"Are you not going back to Kyoto?" the woman asked.

"Do you really want me to go back?" The young man reached out to grab the woman's hand, but the woman dodged him.

"If you keep messing around, I'll take your clothes away." The woman's voice was not angry, but rather cheerful.

"If you want to admire my strong body, just say it directly. Why do you have to be so secretive?" The young man turned around and lay on the platform, staring greedily at the pretty girl above through the mist, his tone was very serious.

"I'm still hiding it. There's no part of your body that I haven't seen." The woman's face flushed.

The young man chuckled, "That's right."

That day, he disguised himself to investigate the evidence but was betrayed and assassinated by the people around him. He narrowly escaped and fainted on the official road. It was the passing convoy of the official's daughter who saved his life. He woke up again, and all the wounds on his body had been bandaged. The kind-hearted girl Ge Shiyi was sleeping sweetly beside his bed, her hand still tightly grasping his pulse.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "Are you so afraid that I will die?"

"Yes. If you die." The girl stopped talking.

The young man asked immediately, "What would you do if I died?"

"If you died, I would be sad for a long time." The girl was a little disappointed.

The young man was happy to draw several circles with his feet under the water.

He thought that he might be different in her heart.
