Chapter 54 I am willing to die for Jing Cang
Jing Yi's move was undoubtedly a provocation to the army led by Jing Cang. As soon as Jing Cang nodded, countless sharp arrows were aimed at Jing Yi and his subordinates.
Jing Cang said: "Prince Ning, if you let Yu Fei go, I can spare your life and the lives of your men."
Jing Yi didn't take it seriously and laughed: "Spare me? Believe it or not, if I release Yu Fei, you will immediately wipe out the Ning Palace in the name of the court and my father! Soldiers are not tired of deception, whoever believes it is a fool."
Jing Cang's expression remained unchanged. He hesitated for a moment and said, "If you care, I will immediately send someone to the palace to ask for the emperor's decree."
Jing Yi remained unmoved, his eyes wandering between Yu Fei and Jing Cang with amusement, as if he was planning something sinister.
He said to Jing Cang leisurely: "I can't believe that you, my brother, care so much about this woman."
Then he changed the subject and threatened and lured Yu Fei, "Miss Yu, what we said this morning is still effective. If you can do what I want, I will treat you ten times or a hundred times better than before. But if you don't listen, I can only take you to hell with me. People in the royal family are the most heartless. I won't believe a word the prince says. Killing the donkey after he has done his job is always my trick."
Yu Fei looked at Jing Yi. The pain from the arrow wound on her left shoulder made her dizzy. At this moment, listening to his words, she felt that he was like an evil ghost occupying the throne in King Yan's palace, relying on the power to control her life and death, and ordering her around at will.
Unfortunately, she has always been soft-hearted and never hard-hearted. Even if she needs to understand the current affairs, she has to be willing to do it.
Of course she had a way to make him succeed. As Jing Yi said, Jing Cang cared about her. She could just pull out a nearby soldier's sword and pretend to commit suicide. When Jing Cang dismounted to stop her, she could kill him with one blow. Then, this suspected rebellion by Prince Ning would become a drama between the crown prince and the merchant woman.
History books are written by the victors. The crown prince is dead, and the past of Prince Ning threatening the crown prince and attempting to usurp the throne will also dissipate like smoke. As for the evidence of Prince Ning and the Zhu family's corruption and rebellion, the emperor only has Prince Ning as his son, so maybe the big things will be reduced to small things, and the small things will be forgotten.
And she actually had the means to catch Jing Yi afterwards.
Jing Yi was somewhat interested in her. As long as she could find a way to get pregnant with his child, a man would easily think that the couple were one. For the sake of the child, the woman would follow her husband's lead. Besides, they had no deep hatred for each other.
Even though she couldn't hold it back, she tried her best to save her own life, which was exactly the same as her original intention of coming here.
But if she continued to live like this, Yu Fei felt that life would be worse than death. If she killed Jing Cang, she would spend every day in regret.
Yu Fei turned and looked at Jing Cang.
He was still as handsome, pure, noble and noble as when they first met, like a famous porcelain or snow on the top of a mountain. His eyes were fixed on her, as gentle as if she was the girl he loved. She vaguely saw the most precious porcelain peeling off the protective silk towards her and letting her touch it, and the most holy divine snow turned into water and rushed towards her to wrap around her.
She suddenly felt that her life was not in vain.
Yu Fei turned around and glared at Jing Yi, sneering: "Prince Ning said that killing the donkey after unloading the mill has always been your leftover, so why should I believe you?"
Seeing that he wanted to talk about her life, she turned her head again and looked directly at Jing Cang, "Your Highness, please execute Prince Ning and the other rebels, and don't worry about Yu Fei's life!"
Jing Yi was shocked. "It's not your style to seek your own death, Yu Fei. It seems that you..."
Hearing the sigh in Jing Yi's unfinished words, Jing Cang silently added in his heart, it seems that she really likes him.
This is Yu Fei's true heart hidden among many lies.
Since he learned about Jie Gu, he was like a young boy who had just fallen in love. At one moment he felt that he and Yu Fei loved each other, but she was unwilling to admit it. At another moment he felt that she was just pretending all day long and had never used her true feelings towards him, but he believed it. Now that he got her affirmative answer, his hesitant and uneasy heart seemed to be possessed by someone.
Although Jing Yi's words were obscure, he could hear the deeper meaning behind them.
Jing Yi may have used threats and inducements to lure Yu Fei into doing something bad to him, but Yu Fei refused and managed to escape. Even when Jing Yi threatened her life again, she still stood by his side.
Jing Cang stared at Yu Fei. Her clothes and hair were disheveled, her face was pale, and she was crawling on the ground with a thin body. However, her eyes were as bright as stars, like a fiery red lotus that stood firm in the face of danger, wind and snow.
Everyone was impressed by her beauty and grace, but he just wanted to lift her up gently, hold her in his palm, and not let her suffer any harm.
Jing Cang calculated the time and felt that his chips should be arriving soon.
He glanced at Huo Dao, and Huo Dao whispered something to him as if he understood.
Jing Cang nodded, passed by Yu Fei, and said to Jing Yi: "Prince Ning, Yu Fei is willing to die, but I care about the relationship between brothers. As long as you put down the bow and arrow, you can live, otherwise it will only make your relatives sad."
Jing Yi gritted his teeth and laughed, "'I won't allow others to snore beside my bed', Prince, there's no need to be hypocritical."
He yelled at Yu Fei, "Yu Fei, I'm going to ask you one last time, are you going to do this? If not, I'll take you to hell!"
Before Yu Fei opened his mouth, the soldiers of Jing Yi's palace dropped their weapons, knelt down and begged, "Please put down your bows and arrows, and turn back..."
Yu Fei met Jing Yi's crazy gaze, like a trapped beast, and said calmly: "My choice is very clear, but I am not going to be taken away by the prince, but I am willing to die for Jing Cang."
Jing Yi was completely enraged by Yu Fei.
Since he was a child, the name Jing Cang has been like a mountain weighing heavily on him.
Obviously, he was as skilled in both civil and military affairs as his elder brother, and his mother's family background was more prominent than Jing Cang's. However, just because Jing Cang was the legitimate son of the empress, he was named the crown prince from birth. Even though he was diligent and outstanding, he had to submit to the crown prince. In order to avoid suspicion from his father and the empress, his mother even told him to conceal his edge and protect himself by being moderate.
But based on what?
The empress was only the daughter of a sixth-rank official. Due to her relationship with the emperor when they were young, she later promoted her family to the rank of marquis. None of the descendants of the family had made any notable achievements in the court. However, his mother's family, the Zhu family, was a century-old military family. All of them were loyal to their country and fought bravely on the battlefield. There were nearly twenty tablets of men who died young in battle in the ancestral temple.
Why should he and his mother be suppressed because of the Zhu family's marriage to the royal family, just because of his father's doting on the empress and her son?
The imperial power is unfair, so he must fight for justice!
He persuaded his uncle who held military power in the northwest to join him in a plot to seize the throne, but to accomplish a great cause one must have money and connections. He was forced to take bribes and to form factions to fight against dissidents. Once he became the crown prince, he would stop.
But Jing Cang wanted to kill him and the Zhu family in order to preserve his power. He wanted to strike first and accidentally found the flaws of Yu Fei, the Eastern Palace, thinking it was a shortcut to greatness. Unexpectedly, he ended up with nothing and ended up imprisoning himself and the Zhu family...
And there's that bastard Yu Fei! Jing Yi pulled the bow to its full length and aimed the arrow at her slender white neck.
She was clearly in love with him just one moment, but in the next moment she stole his jade pendant and escaped through the secret passage. Now she is still unyielding and telling Jing Cang that her love is stronger than gold...
How is he better than him?
She wanted to be a virtuous woman, but he frustrated her wishes!
Jing Yi sneered, "Brother, I will help you get rid of this woman who is so frivolous. She was making love with me the night before and coaxed me to tell her the secret passage of the palace. But today she is acting like a chaste woman to you. Such a wanton woman is playing tricks on you and me like monkeys. I killed her, you have to remember my merit and forgive everyone in the Ning Palace!"
