Chapter 410 How to Ask for My Forgiveness
Zhou Yunshu clenched her fists.
"It said that you abandoned her between the Zhou family and her."
"In your heart, she is not the most important."
Ji Sheng's three sentences left Zhou Yunshu speechless.
Ji Sheng looked at the silent Zhou Yunshu and did not let her go. "Xixi is now at an age where she needs her mother's company the most."
"She still remembers you now, but once you've been gone for too long, she won't be that familiar with you anymore."
"Do you want to watch her drift away from you step by step, and watch her gradually become someone you don't recognize?"
"Can you bear to leave her alone in the palace, in the court, facing those courtiers and royal relatives who could tear her apart at the slightest mistake?"
"They are all eyeing Xixi's position. You know how attractive Xixi's position is."
As Ji Sheng spoke to Zhou Yunshu one sentence at a time, Zhou Yunshu thought of what Lin Xiang had said to her in Youhuangli before.
Lin Xiang told Zhou Yunshu that the new emperor would not be able to vindicate the Zhou family so soon after ascending the throne.
It’s not that the new emperor and Ji Sheng don’t want to vindicate the Zhou family, but the entire Zhou Dynasty is now facing internal and external troubles, and the Zhou family’s affairs have to be postponed.
When Zhou Yunshu heard Lin Xiang say this, she was only thinking one thing: It turns out that you all knew that the Zhou family was wronged, and it turns out that you all knew that the people of the Zhou family did not have to die in the battle.
You knew everything, yet you still allowed the treacherous to take power, cut off food supplies, refused reinforcements, and watched her grandfather, father, and brothers being dragged to death!
Lin Shi seemed to see through Zhou Yunshu's thoughts at the time, and his explanation to her was just four words: she had no choice.
But overturning the Zhou family's verdict is something the court will definitely do, but the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, and the dead must make way for the living.
Oh!
When Zhou Yunshu heard this, she probably guessed something, but she did not refute it, just looked at Lin Xiang.
As expected, Prime Minister Lin then mentioned Ji Mingzhu's return to Beijing.
Zhou Yunshu didn't know what Ji Mingzhu and Lin Xiang talked about, nor did she know what agreement they made in private.
What Prime Minister Lin said in front of Zhou Yunshu was that the new emperor needed Ji Mingzhu's power to ascend the throne.
Before the death of Ruizong and Guangdi, Ji Mingzhu was given too much power. With her power and capital, she could have ascended the throne, but she gave up.
However, when she gave up and supported Daizong, Ji Mingyuan, she was planning to use him as a puppet.
The two words "Daizong" are very representative in themselves.
At the beginning, Ji Mingyuan was extremely obedient, whether because of Ji Mingzhu's favor in helping him become emperor or because he was afraid of the tremendous power in Ji Mingzhu's hands.
Until he tasted the power of the emperor, he began to compete with Ji Mingzhu openly and secretly.
To put it bluntly, the Zhou family was just a victim of the court's factional struggles and internal strife.
Lin Xiang hopes that Ji Mingzhu will return to the court and assist the new emperor. At the same time, he will gradually transfer all of Ji Mingzhu's power and capital to the new emperor.
This was the bargaining chip that Ji Mingzhu reported to Prime Minister Lin when he returned to Beijing.
As the ruler of the world, the emperor cannot be coerced by anyone.
Since Lin Xiang has decided to serve Xixi as his master, he must find ways to gain the most rights for Xixi.
Ji Mingzhu should have given up power long ago.
The world cannot continue to be in such chaos.
"Am I being boring?"
Zhou Yunshu's thoughts, which were drifting further and further away, were pulled back by a gloomy and somewhat gnashing voice.
When Zhou Yunshu saw Ji Sheng staring at her with a dangerous look, she subconsciously smiled at Ji Sheng.
"Do you think I can let it go just because you ignored me and smiled casually?"
Zhou Yunshu pursed her lips and started again.
Wasn't it okay that she was wrong? She shouldn't have been distracted and shouldn't have ignored Ji Sheng.
"I was wrong."
Ji Sheng sat up straighter, looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "So how do you plan to ask for my forgiveness?"
Zhou Yunshu: “……?”
Zhou Yunshu took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to forgive me."
"So your admission of mistake just now was just a perfunctory response to me. In your eyes, I am such a perfunctory person, right?"
Ji Sheng seemed to have opened up his mouth. "You just waved my hand and I fell into your trap. You said a few sweet words and I was dizzy. Am I really ridiculous in your eyes?"
"Don't you think I'm particularly proud of being able to play around?"
As Ji Sheng was speaking, he was a little confused by Zhou Yunshu who suddenly came closer to him.
Then, Zhou Yunshu stretched out her hand under Ji Sheng's somewhat puzzled gaze.
Zhou Yunshu put her hand on Ji Sheng's forehead. At that moment, Ji Sheng felt like he was about to explode.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
So, no matter before or now, my actions are ridiculous in her eyes, right?
"No, I think you are much more lively now than before."
More like a human being.
Ji Sheng looked at Zhou Yunshu and asked again: "Besides this, do you have anything else you want to say to me?"
Ji Sheng always thought that she was a hard-hearted person, but for some reason, she softened her heart again and again when facing Zhou Yunshu.
He had clearly made up his mind long ago that when he saw her again, he would break her wings and imprison her by his side, but every time he really saw her, he would forget all his previous resolutions.
Ji Sheng looked carefully and asked Zhou Yunshu whether she had put a spell on him, such as the love spell, otherwise why would he do so many things that were inconsistent with his character.
But in all honesty, there was nothing wrong with his body, and no signs of being poisoned.
At this moment, Ji Sheng felt that being honest was just a name.
Because he felt that his previous anger was calmed down by Zhou Yunshu's words, Zhou Yunshu must have cast a spell on him.
"Do you remember our three-year period?"
Ji Sheng turned his head. This was not what he wanted to hear.
Zhou Yunshu walked up and sat directly on Ji Sheng's lap. Ji Sheng was frightened by Zhou Yunshu's boldness and couldn't help leaning back in his chair.
"Do you remember?"
Zhou Yunshu looked at Ji Sheng leisurely with her beautiful eyes.
Ji Sheng moved his legs uncomfortably and nodded slightly.
Zhou Yunshu placed her hand on Ji Sheng's neck and said with a smile, "The three-year period hasn't come yet. You promised to give me three years."
"Your Highness the Prince of Wei, are you planning to go back on your word?"
Ji Sheng looked at Zhou Yunshu and pursed his lips. He really wanted to go back on his word.
"You wouldn't." Zhou Yunshu sat forward, looked at Ji Sheng and smiled, "Maybe you haven't noticed, but sometimes you look old-fashioned and quite gentlemanly."
After Zhou Yunshu discovered this, she especially liked to tease him, just like now.
However, they still have business to discuss.
"Give me three years, okay? Just three years. I'll deal with the current situation as soon as possible and come back to you."
