Chapter 721: Strategy for the Blind Villain (17)

"Nothing." Shi Yi said this, but her tears fell faster and faster.

She didn't want to tell him that her best friend had passed away. She would feel uncomfortable for a long time when she said the word "death".

The boy came close to her and touched her cheek with his hot and wet tongue. They were both stunned.

Before Shi Yi could react, the boy took several steps back with a red face.

"I have been out of the palace for a long time. It's time to go back."

The boy ran away in a hurry. His back looked like something was chasing him. In fact, he ran too fast and almost fell.

Shi Yi covered his cheek and looked at his disappearing back. He was the one who was taken advantage of.

Ji Jingrong sat in the sedan chair and let out the breath in his heart.

What happened to him just now? Why did he do such an outrageous thing.

Thinking of this, he began to savor the taste on the tip of his tongue. It was light, like the fragrance of gardenia but not so heavy. Instead, it gave people a sweet and soft feeling.

I wonder what it will taste like.

This sudden thought shocked him.

They are brother and sister who have lived under the same roof for fourteen years. If he does this, wouldn't it be...

His handsome eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Isn't his father such a person? Or, their family is born with such genes. Besides, although his "sister" and he have the status of brother and sister, they are not actually related by blood.

The next day.

"Father, are you really going to court? Your health is not well yet." Shi Yi worriedly put the Chinese medicine he was going to drink on the way into the snack box for him. She also thoughtfully prepared a small dish of candied fruit for her father to refresh his taste.

"Thanks to the emperor's pity, I have been recuperating at home for a long time. It's time to go to court." Master Qu took his official hat from the housekeeper and put it on.

At the same time, the housekeeper walked towards Shi Yi and said respectfully, "Miss, give me the food box."

"Father..." Shi Yi looked at the tall and majestic man and seemed to have thousands of words to say, but when all the words came to her lips, there was only one sentence, "Take care of yourself on the road."

"Okay." Master Qu deliberately touched his daughter's cheek.

This is the precious pearl he has held in his palm for sixteen years. How can he see her enter Ji Jingrong's fire pit. No matter what, he will ask the emperor to grant marriage for his daughter today.

The emperor did not expect Ji Jingrong's visit to be so effective. Master Qu actually appeared in the court. What surprised him even more was that Master Qu actually asked him to grant marriage for his daughter Qu Shiyi. The person to be granted marriage was still an ordinary son of a noble family.

"Master Qu, this is related to your daughter's lifelong event, you must think it over." The emperor's eyes became deeper. What prompted the other party to make such a decision quickly?

"I have thought about it, and I beg the emperor to grant me permission." Master Qu was confident that the emperor would still give this face.

"I have granted you the marriage."

Master Qu looked up after hearing the holy words, "The imperial decree for the marriage?"

"It will be issued tomorrow." The emperor lowered his head with satisfaction when he saw him, with a mischievous smile on his face.

When Ji Jingrong heard that the emperor had granted Master Qu's daughter a marriage, he could no longer concentrate on the book he was reading. He waited on the road that the emperor had to take to return to the palace.

"Do you have any opinions?" The emperor was happy to see his son close to him. In this way, he would feel that he still had a sense of existence. After all, a blind prince was not a threat to him.

"Father, I beg you to grant me a marriage." Ji Jingrong didn't even dare to think about the scene of his sister marrying someone else. What if the person

his sister married was not good to her? If the person his sister married was him, he would definitely treat her well, no, cherish her.

"What if I don't like it?" The emperor glanced over and saw the boy's clear and even worried eyes, which looked very much like his biological mother. At that time, he was also attracted by such clarity and innocence.

"I will kneel here for a long time." Ji Jingrong immediately knelt on the cobblestone.

Princess Ji Yun, who went to the palace to inquire about the news, saw her own son kneeling, and her heart ached for a moment.

Her son was not only unwilling to recognize her, but also unwilling to say anything to her. In fact, she didn't crave much, she just hoped that her son could understand her mother's heart.

Knowing that the daughter of Qu Taifu was about to be granted marriage, she eagerly went to the palace to ask the emperor. It was for her son.

In the capital, there are many daughters of nobles, but they are all raised to be extremely arrogant, and they must look down on their blind son. And Qu Shiyi, this girl, is the daughter of a good friend. Although she is arrogant, she is kind and dedicated to her son. If the two really become, the son will have a support for the rest of his life. More importantly, you can also tie your good friend to your boat.

"Princess Ji Yun pays respect to His Majesty." Ji Yun walked over quickly and stood beside the young man.

"My sister is here. I haven't seen her for a while." The emperor didn't expect the person he just mentioned to come so soon. Although his expression didn't change, the young man was keenly aware that his voice was a little lower.

"Ji Yun came to the palace this time to ask the emperor for something." She always knew that beauty was a woman's greatest weapon. Therefore, she always used this weapon to the extreme.

Although she was middle-aged, she took good care of herself and was good at dressing up. This palace dress on her graceful body was both dignified and had the unique charm of a young woman. The emperor moved his eyes away with some difficulty and said in a deep voice, "Jingrong, get up first."

Qu Jingrong understood something, but didn't say anything. When Ji Yun tentatively took his hand, he didn't break free.

He knew that Ji Yun came to the palace this time for him.

He also needed Ji Yun's help.

"The scenery is nice today, why don't the three of us go for a walk in this imperial garden together?" Although Ji Yun suggested, she had already moved.

The emperor thought of how much he owed her over the years and followed her silently.

On the way, Ji Yun was in a rare good mood and talked about her childhood with the emperor. She always knew how to play the emotional card well without being disgusting. This was also her way of survival for so many years.

The sunset was so gorgeous that the emperor's thoughts could not help but go back to that summer many years ago.

He was jealous of other princes who were praised by their father, and childishly destroyed their writings. In order to avoid being scolded, the young girl took the initiative to admit that she was the one who did it, and was punished to kneel at the gate of the palace for a whole night. The summer night was not cold, but kneeling for a whole night was enough.

He felt guilty and came to see her the next day. She was covered in blood. She thought she was going to die, and he thought she was going to die too. The two hugged each other and cried bitterly, but after crying, she comforted him-everyone will die, it's just a matter of sooner or later.

The sunlight that day was very, very bright, so bright that he dared not look directly into her eyes. Her warm body hugged him, and every word she said was extremely cautious, "Ji Yun is very happy to be able to keep you safe."
