Chapter 296 The End
“Master, it’s time to retire and enjoy your old age!” Emperor Jiajing reached out and pulled her back.
"I know, I retired a long time ago! Sigh, I'm useless now. Let me rest for a day today, and I'll go see my older brothers tomorrow."
Ji Yingying also knew that the two of them could no longer walk and now needed someone to take care of them.
Ji Jiayu, in particular, is a military general who has suffered more injuries. It is remarkable that he has managed to hold on until now.
"From now on, I will bring the Empress out to keep you company every few days."
"No need, Your Majesty, just grant me one request!" Ji Yingying had only ever made a fuss in her entire life, but she had never made such a serious request to the Emperor of the Ning family.
"Master, please speak!"
"If I am gone, bury me next to my parents. In the next life, I will still be their daughter. And your second master, bury him next to me. We will still be friends."
"Alright, I promise you, Master. You must take good care of yourself."
"I'm perfectly fine, I can walk and jump." Ji Yingying's health was indeed quite good.
It's just that Mu Kaiji doesn't seem to be doing very well anymore.
I guess I'm getting old!
The next day, Ji Yingying returned to the Ji family home, and the whole family came out to greet her, some of whom she knew and some of whom she didn't.
Ping An has grown a beard and looks much older.
After Ji Yingying sat down, everyone knelt down and bowed respectfully.
"Oh dear, what's going on here? I've come back to see my two good-for-nothing brothers. You two, get up!"
After getting up, I soon saw the two older brothers and their wives, who were also quite old and had to use wheelchairs.
Yun Xiaofan also suffered a stroke and couldn't remember who was who at all, but when he saw Ji Yingying, he would still call out, "Little sister!"
This made Ji Yingying cry immediately.
Not long after they met, the eldest brother passed away, prompting Ji Yingying to say, "It's all fate! Don't leave me to be the last one!"
After seeing Ji Jiaming off, Ji Yingying moved to the estate. With Mu Kaiji and Xiangxiang there, things were going well.
"Xiangxiang, you've been with me your whole life. Do you think if I die, you'll still be with me in the next life?"
Ji Yingying felt it was a bit difficult, after all, Xiangxiang had already separated.
"Yes, I'm already soul-bound to you. Who knows, in our next life we might not be a gossip-eating system, but some other type of system?"
"Yeah, I hope it's a 'play it off' system. I still prefer playing it off."
Ji Yingying has loved to slack off since the moment she was born, but despite being busy for most of her life, she still hasn't succeeded in slacking off.
I've come to enjoy traveling around.
In her words, traveling is about relaxing. She did everything when she was young, and now that she's older, she seems to have no regrets.
"Host, how about I give you another melon?"
"By watching the drama unfold through videos, I've actually accumulated quite a bit of good karma!"
"Okay." Xiangxiang opened the video; this time, she was watching the gossip from the home of Minister Liu of the Ministry of Revenue.
"This old bastard actually embezzled money! This money all belongs to the national treasury. He just blatantly took it home. Does he think our emperor is easy to bully?"
In the video, Minister Liu of the Ministry of Revenue is directing people to move the silver that was sent to Jiangnan City into his home.
Jiangnan City was flooded again, submerging some fields, but the damage was not significant. Emperor Jiajing allocated some silver for disaster relief.
Actually, it's fine not to dial it, since the loss isn't significant.
Jiangnan City is no longer the same Jiangnan City it once was, but there are always exceptions.
"Should we tell the little emperor?" Xiangxiang sat to the side cracking melon seeds, while Mu Kaiji rocked back and forth in a daze.
I have no idea what he's thinking.
"Go ahead and tell me, it's not a big deal." The money is still there, and we can get it back tomorrow. We can also get a new Minister of Revenue, and the money can continue to be sent to Jiangnan City.
"Okay, look here, there's a lover." Xiangxiang immediately adjusted the video and soon saw the scene outside the door.
After all, "lively and fragrant" is not suitable for broadcast.
"Is it Lord Liu's wife having an affair?"
"Yes, looks like this isn't the first time. This guy likes men with big faces, oh dear..."
The next part is not suitable for children, so Ji Yingying stopped watching it.
"This Lord Liu really doesn't know how to judge the situation. If it had been a few decades later, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
Mu Kaiji spoke, but what he said left even Yi Tong completely bewildered.
Can you explain what that means?
"You'll find out later. Let's tell the young emperor about this."
The Jiajing Emperor was about to rest when he received a memorial from Ji Yingying's men, which startled him. After reading it, he became even angrier and went directly to search and confiscate Lord Liu's house.
Lord Liu never expected that he would be sent to the executioner's block so soon after receiving the silver, which made him want to curse.
It's a pity that his mother didn't come to pick him up; it was his great-grandmother who did. After this incident, Emperor Jiajing was even more reluctant to part with Ji Yingying, but there was nothing he could do. Ji Yingying was getting old, and he didn't dare to do anything to her.
After the passing of her last relative, her second sister-in-law, 82-year-old Ji Yingying was left all alone among the three siblings.
She became even less inclined to go out, spending her days either looking at flowers or fishing. Occasionally, her grandnieces would come over, and she would happily chat with them.
One morning, Ji Yingying woke up and accidentally fell, never to get up again, passing away at the age of eighty-three.
Upon receiving news of Ji Yingying's passing, the palace bells rang again, and the Jiajing Emperor held a funeral for her with the highest honors.
Emperor Jiajing had promised Ji Yingying that he would bury her next to her parents, and he kept his promise.
After Ji Yingying was buried, Xiangxiang also disappeared, leaving Mu Kaiji alone here.
Emperor Jiajing originally intended to bring the person into the palace to take care of him, but unexpectedly, the person disappeared.
The following year, two more graves appeared next to Ji Yingying's tombstone. One of them was inscribed with "Tomb of Ji Yingying's husband, Mu Kaiji," but it did not specify who erected the tombstone.
The other one is: Xiangxiang's Tomb, but there is no record of who erected the tombstone.
Upon receiving the news, Emperor Jiajing rushed over immediately. The middle-aged emperor couldn't help but cry after seeing the words on the document.
These two were the people who treated him the best, and they taught him everything they had learned in their lives.
But he had no idea that Mu Kaiji liked Ji Yingying!
However, he could not interfere with his two mentors. Therefore, the Jiajing Emperor ordered that the lives of Ji Yingying and Mu Kaiji be written down and passed down through the ages.
From then on, the rumors and gossip about their great achievements became distorted, with some even saying that Xiangxiang was their daughter.
The two were worried that the royal family would make things difficult for them, so they never married and had a daughter named Xiangxiang.
But no one knows that the person named Xiangxiang was just a gossip system. It was Ji Yingying who made it a royal weapon, and even led them into an era of peace and prosperity.
Where are they now? Did Xiangxiang finally find Ji Yingying, the host with whom its soul was bound? Did Mu Kaiji get what he wanted?
