Chapter 25 I Don't Watch, I Just Listen
Bu Ruo gave her a look that said, "You're so smart," and then reminded Mo Bao again, "Don't forget, this might be the only fun I'll have during these long and boring days in Kyoto."
Bi'er paced back and forth in the room anxiously: "Miss, you are a woman and you are not married yet. How can you lie on someone's roof and watch... watch that kind of thing?"
Bu Ruo: "I don't want to watch, I just want to listen. I want to hear what's going on between them. This will be a handle for me in the future, right?"
"I'm telling you two, if you dare to deprive me of this little bit of fun, I'll have Jin Congcong make medicinal food for you."
Hearing this, Mo Bao secretly shook his head at Bier, indicating that he could do nothing to help with this matter. After all... that was Jin Congcong's medicinal food, who would dare to eat it?
So it was easy for Mo Bao to rebel: "Master, tomorrow is the day when Crown Princess Ji Yao returns to the Ji Mansion. Coincidentally, Ji Pei's wife, Ge, went to Baotong Temple in the suburbs of Beijing today and will be back in about five days."
Bu Ruo slammed the table and stood up: "Bao'er, Bi'er, tomorrow night at midnight, your master will take you to see the world!"
Mo Bao: ...
Beau: ...
The next day, after visiting his ancestors in the ancestral hall during the day, Bu Ruo started to catch up on his sleep, all in preparation for lying on the roof at night.
"Well, it's just that Xiao Yulan's legs and feet are not in good condition, otherwise we would have asked him to go with us, it would have been more lively with more people."
Bier sighed. Fortunately, her young lady's marriage to the King of War was just a temporary measure. Otherwise, no one would dare to marry a young lady like her.
At this time, Jin Congcong, who had not been seen for several days, walked in. "What's the big crowd? What are you going to do? From Ruo'er's expression...you don't look like you are going to do anything good?"
Before Bu Ruo could say anything, Bi'er spoke first: "Mr. Jin, you're here just in time. Please try to persuade the young lady. She wants to lie on someone's roof tonight."
"Young lady has just reached the age of marriage and has not yet married, how could she do such a thing? If the War King knew about this..."
"Lying on the roof?" Jin Congcong paused while drinking his tea, his face full of excitement. "Who are you looking for? Lying on whose roof? Take me with you, I'll go too."
"I don't know Qinggong, but you two do. How about you two carry me up there? It'll be more fun with more people."
Beau: ...
Just... let me die.
Bu Ruo said cheerfully: "The Crown Princess's melon is so beautiful, let's go together!"
When Jin Congcong heard that it was the Crown Princess, his eyes were filled with surprise.
"Crown Princess? I've been wandering around these past few days and heard a lot of rumors about the Crown Princess."
"For example, the wonton stand I often go to is run by an elderly woman. She told me that the Crown Princess often goes there to eat wontons. She also said that the Crown Princess is kind and gentle, and always gives her extra money when she eats wontons there."
"They say the Crown Princess is not arrogant at all and often buys meat buns for beggars on the street. I even saw it happen once."
"So what on earth does the Crown Princess have that can make you so excited?"
Bu Ruo glanced at Bi'er, thought for a moment, and chose her words carefully: "The prince's head... is green."
"What?" Jin Congcong covered his mouth, "You mean, the Crown Princess is having an affair?"
"Yeah, even before she married the prince, she had an abortion."
Bu Ruo became more and more excited as he spoke, and didn't notice Bier's face which had become as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Go, go, let's go together tonight. I'm going back now to catch up on some sleep. Remember to call me when you leave at night. Don't forget."
Bu Ruo nodded and waved her hand: "Go quickly, I also need to catch up on some sleep, Baoer will come to pick us up in the evening."
Bier was speechless, but she knew she couldn't stop her own lady, so she could only accept her fate.
That night, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Mo Bao climbed over the wall again, automatically ignoring Bier's nagging look.
"Master, it's almost time, let's go."
Bu Ruo had already changed into a black outfit: "Let's go, remember to call Jin Congcong."
Beau: ...
A quarter of an hour later, the four of them lay on Ji Pei's roof. Bu Ruo quietly lifted the tiles and saw the situation in the room clearly.
"Ji Pei, this is the last time, otherwise don't blame me for going all out."
Ji Pei held Ji Yao tightly in his arms: "A life-and-death struggle? Are you willing to do that? If you were willing to give up the position of Queen, you wouldn't have planned so hard to marry the Crown Prince."
"If the Crown Prince knew about us, knew that we once had a child, and knew that your marriage into the Crown Prince's Mansion was carefully planned by you, what do you think would be your fate?"
"Also, don't even think about killing me. The fact that you've caught the Crown Prince's eye is certainly due to his sincerity towards you, but the majority of it is due to the 30,000 troops under my command."
"If I die, the Crown Prince will soon marry the daughter of a military commander. If she then gives birth to a son, your dream of ruling the country will be completely shattered."
"Yao'er, don't reject me, I will treat you well."
Ji Yao struggled to break free: "What if I can help you marry the Princess of Yun'an?"
"What did you say?"
Ji Yao said in a cold voice: "I said, I can help you marry the Princess of Yun'an County, and then the Bu family's military power, which will never be taken back, will be yours."
Ji Pei let go of his hand, sat on the chair and sneered, "What nonsense are you talking about? The Princess of Yun'an has been granted marriage to Prince Zhan, and the wedding will take place next month. How dare I go against Prince Zhan and the Emperor?"
Ji Yao sneered, "That's impossible. If Princess Yun'an loses her virginity to you in public, the Emperor, for the sake of the royal family and the Duke of Zhenguo's reputation, will have no choice but to have her break off her engagement with Prince Zhan and marry her to you."
"After all, the War King is a dormant beast. Princess Yun'an now holds the military power of the Bu Family Army, which is out of the control of the Emperor and the Crown Prince. If she loses her virginity to you, the Emperor and the Crown Prince will just go along with it."
"A slut who lost her chastity before marriage, even if she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo or the county lady, can only be a concubine at most. But as for my sister-in-law..."
"Don't worry about her. I only married her because she looks a bit like you. But... what are you going to do?"
Ji Yao's eyes were full of fierceness: "In five days, I will hold a flower viewing banquet. The Princess of Yun'an and Prime Minister Lin's daughter will come. The Crown Prince will also invite some ministers for tea. You are also invited. I will arrange the rest."
"Don't worry, I won't involve you in this. The final outcome can only be that Lin Rou, the daughter of Prime Minister Lin, fell in love with the War King but failed, so she poisoned the Yun'an County Lady and caused her to lose her virginity. And you... are just the unlucky one."
"When Princess Yun'an marries you, won't it be up to you whether she lives or dies?"
Ji Pei suddenly stood up and hugged Ji Yao in his arms again: "You really deserve to be able to marry into the prince's mansion. You have been childless for three years and still have the prince revolve around you. You are really scheming."
Ji Yao struggled hard: "But I have a condition. I will help you marry the Princess of Yun'an County, and from then on, we will be completely separated. You are just my brother, and nothing else... nothing. I will never come back."
