Chapter 240: Faster, Faster, Faster
Lin Qingjun coldly watched those people jump down in panic, and then hurriedly rescued them.
I don't know if it was because they were too clumsy or what, but the prince who was about to be rescued accidentally fell back into the water again.
There was another round of confusion and panic.
When she saw this, she sighed softly and felt extremely bored.
"Let's go."
Go back.
Ji Chenchuan didn't ask her why she didn't look at it. He nodded slightly and said "Okay".
The two of them came down from the rockery in the inner courtyard garden and slowly walked back to Qijun Courtyard. Neither of them spoke a word along the way.
Today's events are completely over.
From the prince coming over, to planning to see her, to the appearance of Concubine Ning, and then to the prince falling into the water in panic.
She didn't seem to feel any pleasure of revenge here. Instead, her mood became heavier. Moreover, she seemed to have become different from before.
Before, she only knew about her concubine, the backyard, and how not to offend the Qi family. Then she married Xiao Yuan and devoted herself to managing the backyard for him and solving his worries. Then she was stabbed to death by him with a sword, and both she and the child in her belly died.
After she was reborn, what she thought about most was to get her aunt out of the Lin Mansion, and then try every possible way to block Xiao Yuan's future, and then take her aunt away from here to live a happy life in the mountains and rivers.
However, in this life, she thought the plot would be the same as the previous one, but unexpectedly, an accident happened.
And this accident seemed to make her see a different world, something other than the backyard, other than the mistress and concubines, other than love and romance, something different, something higher than this backyard.
For example, now.
Lin Qingjun clenched his teeth tightly and spoke in a deep voice.
"Ji Chenchuan, tell me, if such a person becomes the new emperor of our Great Qi Kingdom, is it really okay?"
She knew that it was impossible for Concubine Ning to push Zong Yuanji into trouble at this time, and before that, a guard beside him seemed to have said something to him secretly, and then he walked towards Concubine Ning.
Also, the hand that Concubine Ning stretched out was not the hand that pushed the prince. Her hand was clenched into a fist, more like she wanted to grab him, but she didn't have time to do so. The disbelief and anger that flashed in Concubine Ning's eyes did not seem fake.
Therefore, in order to turn the tables, the prince was willing to risk his own life to vent his anger.
"Can someone who acts impulsively, who only cares about venting his anger and disregards himself and the world, truly become the ruler of a country?"
"Also, is this really necessary in order to frame a concubine? Is this really that important to him?"
Is it important? Is it important?
As the crown prince and the future king, he does not think about how to serve the country and the people, but instead cares about the gains and losses of a woman. Is such a person really worthy of being the crown prince?
Speaking of this, Lin Qingjun trembled all over.
"I am a young lady from the harem. I don't know what ordinary people are. My world is very small, so small that it only consists of me and my aunt."
"But I'm not really a homegirl who knows nothing."
"I've been to a disaster area before. I've seen dead people, people who starved to death, and I've seen surviving relatives who didn't even have the energy to cry. Their eyes were empty and filled with despair."
"What's even more ridiculous is that I saw our porridge was ready, and he could have survived by drinking a sip, but, just a moment later, he would have been saved."
"But they couldn't wait any longer. They died before the porridge was even cooked."
When she said this, her nose felt sore and her eyes were red.
She looked at Ji Chenchuan.
"I, I blame myself so much. If we had walked faster, even faster, maybe they wouldn't have died."
"I feel even more stupid. Why did I cook porridge? I could have just given them a handful of rice."
"In fact, I knew they were hungry, so I should have baked some pancakes overnight and sent them over. That way, they would have something to eat when we got there, and they wouldn't starve to death."
Lin Qingjun's tears flowed down her face, and the distant memories came flooding back. She would never forget the tragic scene.
Ji Chenchuan felt extremely distressed and reached out to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"This is none of your business. It has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself."
"You were still young at that time, what could you understand? It's normal that you can't think of this."
"If you want to blame anyone, you can only blame the decision makers. It's clear that they didn't think of this."
"Besides, we still have a chance, don't we?"
Although what happened that year has passed, he believes that disasters like this will never end and there will definitely be a next time. Although he does not want such a natural disaster to happen, natural disasters are the most unpredictable, aren't they?
Lin Qingjun held Ji Chenchuan's wrist tightly.
"So, the prince came here today to take away Lin Zhi's private treasury. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. As long as he can use this money for the benefit of the people, I will support him and even help him reveal all of Lin Zhi's private treasury."
"But now you look at him."
"He heard that I was beautiful, and he wanted to come and marry me. Because Concubine Ning's arrogance had humiliated him, he framed me regardless of the consequences."
"Do you think such a person would really put the people of Daqi first?"
"so."
Lin Qingjun thought of something, and his cold eyes became strange.
"So, why not change the prince?"
Ji Chenchuan was not surprised at all when he heard this, because he had the same idea. He had had this idea since the first time the queen took action against him, Marquis Wu'an. How could a woman who was not worthy of being a queen teach a good prince?
The result was just as he expected. The prince was totally incompetent. He was too spoiled, too selfish, too self-righteous, narrow-minded, and had no idea of ​​benevolence. How could such a person sit on such a high position?
The prince's performance today revealed all his shortcomings.
He looked at the white hand on his wrist and smiled, "Okay."
If she doesn't like him, then change him. There is more than one prince in the harem, and he is not the only capable one. At worst, the Eleventh Prince can take over. Even though Concubine Ning is cruel, the Eleventh Prince is still a qualified prince, isn't he?
When Lin Qingjun heard this, he was stunned.
"I said change it, what do you say?"
"Ji Chenchuan, shouldn't you think that I'm a traitor?"
Even something like changing the crown prince was said so bluntly? This was a capital crime. As a subject and a commoner, she couldn't say it directly even if she thought so in her heart.
But for some reason, she felt a warm current rising in her heart.
