Chapter 266 Ji Cailiang and Fang Yulan Go to Linfeng City
And then the people believed it?
That's natural. Everyone's seen how busy you've been lately, and besides, you haven't suffered any losses.
【Okay!】 Ji Yingying returned to her room, ordered food to be served, and asked, 【Have you investigated that dog organization?】
In the capital, they could simply march on our doorstep upon returning.
【OK! 】
After Ji Yingying finished eating, she called Rong Er out and told him that he must learn how to use a gun.
Once she gets back, she's going to wreak havoc everywhere.
Rong Er agreed.
This time, instead of riding a bicycle, Ji Yingying returned to the capital in a horse-drawn carriage. She immediately led her entourage into the palace to report the matter.
Emperor Xuande was very pleased and granted Ji Yingying the title of prince. The imperial edict was read aloud.
Everyone was shocked!
But no one dared to object, after all, who was Ji Yingying? Today, Tianyou Dynasty was more powerful than any other country.
"Your Majesty, you want me to be a prince?" It seems that no woman has ever been a prince since ancient times; it was either a princess or a county princess, and that was it!
This is the first queen!
"What, don't you understand the meaning of the imperial edict?" Emperor Xuande snorted. Ji Yingying quickly replied, "I understand, I understand. Hehe, from now on I will be the number one prince of our Tianyou Dynasty."
The fiefdom remained the same, but the princess's residence was changed to a prince's residence, still a prince of the first rank, the Prince of Jin.
Did the retired emperor approve of his extravagant spending?
[Agreed. This was said by the Emperor Emeritus. He offered you the title of Prince, and originally wanted to use the character "勤" (qín), but in the end it became "晋" (jìn), since your fiefdom contains the character "晋" (jìn).]
[Are you trying to make me more diligent?]
It should be!
[Haha, I've been working like a beast of burden, and you still complain that I'm not diligent enough.]
Hehe~ You really do skip work and slack off every year.
[Shut up, I don't want to hear it. I feel like things are much calmer in our court now.]
There used to be a lot of gossip, but now there's hardly any left.
Isn't peace good? Promoting harmonious social development is something our government should also strive for. If everyone is a good official, the people are well-fed and clothed, and the country and military are strong—how wonderful that would be!
[A strong nation and a strong military... maybe another ten years or so of development, and if that dog of an emperor has the ability, he could achieve it!]
Emperor Xuande: ...He will have Ji Yingying as long as she is here!
[By the way, I feel like a lot of people are eyeing the Ning family's empire. Last night, Emperor Xuande almost got poisoned, but thankfully it was discovered in time.]
[This is the perk of being the emperor—constantly poisoned. I think the empress should have more children to avoid... well, you know.]
Xiangxiang:…………
You said he almost got poisoned, tell me what happened?
[Someone did indeed poison him yesterday, but the Emperor didn't come into contact with it because the Empress summoned him away. If he hadn't been summoned, he might have been poisoned.]
Wow, this guy's got some luck on him.
Ji Yingying chatted with Xiangxiang for a while. After court, Ji Yingying went out of the palace gate and called Rong Er out directly.
"How's your marksmanship now?"
"Your subordinate has not failed in your duty!" means "I understand, very good!"
"Call the men over, let's go and take revenge."
Ji Yingying led Rong Er and the others to an inn, exchanged a secret code, and then entered an inner room.
As soon as I entered, they asked, "What would you like, young lady?"
"I don't want anything, I just want to see why you want to kill me? Who paid to have my life taken?"
The man immediately became alert.
"Who are you?"
"I am the person you want to kill. It's a pity you can't kill me, so you come here for revenge."
[Xiangxiang, quick, check if there's any melon!]
There are quite a few. They're assassin organizations; they kill people regardless of whether they're good or bad, as long as the money is right.
"Rong Er, take control!" Ji Yingying gave the order, and Rong Er immediately took action. The two sides started fighting, and Ji Yingying's side won. Their stronghold was captured.
There weren't many people, but they all looked like elites.
The moment the people were taken into custody, Ji Yingying gave them antidotes.
"Don't worry, this is an antidote. You want to commit suicide by poisoning yourself? I won't allow it. Who's in charge?"
Ji Yingying thought the person in charge must be a pitiful person, perhaps in poor health, poisoned or cursed, or a beautiful woman in a wheelchair!
After all, that's how novels are written.
Unfortunately, it's just a novel; the leader of this organization was a burly man who was not only rough-looking but also ugly.
"You're their leader? And your martial arts skills aren't that great either."
I don't know how this assassin organization was organized.
[Host, he also took over the business from his adoptive father, and over the years he hasn't been good at managing it, so it's not doing very well anymore!]
[Oh! It's a defeated organization!] Ji Yingying became interested.
“Rong Er, kill him, then give them this drug, recruit them into our team, no… control them. We’ll do this business. I’ll arrange the specifics for you, and you can handle it.”
"yes"
Ji Yingying snorted, "Very good, we've managed to rob a store."
"You may all step back. I want to take a look at this organization." Ji Yingying was interested and actually began to examine it.
Behind the scenes, they did quite a lot of things, all of which were done after that leader took over.
The person who did the previous thing did something meaningful.
"Defeat is normal!"
Ji Yingying stayed there until evening before returning home. In the days that followed, she spent her days attending court, eating melons, and playing games.
In early August, Ji Cailiang was going to Linfeng City, and he took Fang Yulan with him.
The day before departure, Fang Yulan came to Ji Yingying to tell her about it.
“My son, from now on, it will just be you and your second brother in the capital. I’m worried about you. Why don’t you go back to the Prince of Jin’s residence tomorrow? There will be someone protecting you there, and I won’t be so worried.”
“Your second brother has his own family now. If you need anything, go to your second sister-in-law. If not, don’t go. Don’t disturb their life together.”
"Mother, why did you go to Linfeng City? If you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back from last year."
For twelve years, she has never left Fang Yulan, even when she was really angry with her, she never left her like this.
Ji Yingying didn't want her to leave, so she held her hand and cried for a while.
This was the first time she had ever cried, which frightened Fang Yulan. Fang Yulan stayed with her that night, but left the next day.
After Fang Yulan and Ji Cailiang left, Ji Yingying actually packed her things and went to live at the Prince of Jin's residence.
Yanni knew she was reluctant to part with her, so she would bring Ping An to visit her every few days. After a while, seeing that Ping An was really alright, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The Prince of Jin's mansion was very large. Ji Yingying would sometimes sit there in a daze after court, or go to Mu Kaiji for tea, or go to the Emperor Emeritus to play chess.
"Life feels rather...uncomfortable."
"You haven't gotten used to your mother leaving yet!" Mu Kaiji poured her a cup of tea, knowing that she missed Ji Cailiang and his wife.
"Probably. I always feel like I don't need it, but when I actually go out and it's not around, I always feel empty."
