Chapter 728: Strategy for the Blind Villain (24)
Ji Yun spat out the blood in her mouth, "You used me."
"For the princess, it's a piece of cake to fight." Ji Jingrong looked at her calmly, "I hope that no one else in the world knows about what happened between you and me. If you really care about yourself, don't get involved in the affairs of the court. In this way, we can still live in peace. If you insist on stopping me, I will never show mercy."
This was the first and last advice he gave her as a junior.
"You... are so cold-hearted." Ji Yun covered her chest with her bare hands, trying her best to tell herself not to be angry, but how could she not be angry with his attitude.
He knew that she was his mother, his biological mother, and he was still so cold, which meant that he didn't have her in his heart.
"The princess should go back." They had already torn their faces apart, and Ji Jingrong didn't want to continue to pretend to be nice to her.
"You will regret it." Ji Yun said harshly.
Ji Jingrong stood in the sunlight, and the white light cast a shadow behind him. He sneered in his heart, wondering who would regret more.
When Shi Yi came back again, the dishes on the table were cold. She wanted to take the food away and reheat it, but the boy held her hand, "Just eat it like this. Don't waste time."
"Let them heat it up, it's not good for your stomach." Shi Yi pressed his shoulder, but he pulled her into his arms. The boy said coquettishly, "Sister, I can't see, you feed me."
The people in Kunning Palace dared not disturb the tenderness of the emperor and the empress, and quietly left the hall. Ma Jinyang closed the door even more considerately.
Shi Yi rubbed his face for a long time, and after confirming that he really couldn't see, he held the spoon.
Ji Jingrong ate the cold food on the table with her hand, one spoonful at a time.
He used to be strong and learn to live like a normal person in order not to expose the fact that he was born with a disability and make people laugh. And he could take off his disguise and defense and show his truest appearance in front of her because he knew very well that she would never dislike him no matter what.

For some reason, the people suddenly began to doubt the identity of the new emperor.
The heated criticism caused the harem to become lively.
When Ma Jinyang came to report and asked whether the person who spread the rumor should be dealt with, Ji Jingrong shook his head and rejected it.
Ji Yun had disappointed him after all, and she actually wanted to push him off the stage in this way.
In the middle of a snowy night, he secretly summoned Master Qu.
No one in the world knew about their conversation that night, but Master Qu stayed in bed after returning home, and did not stand up again until the beginning of spring. In
April, Ji Yun's plot to murder the former emperor's deposed concubine and have an affair with a minister in the court was reported to the Shuntian prefectural governor by a servant. The Shuntian prefectural governor directly sent someone to detain Ji Yun and put her in prison, waiting for the emperor's decision. Also presented was evidence of Ji Yun's collusion with ministers in the court over the years.
The wife of the Shuntian prefectural governor had once offended Ji Yun at a banquet, and was punished by Ji Yun to kneel, causing miscarriage, so the two had a grudge. Ji Yun knew that Shuntian Prefecture would not let her go easily after finally catching her in the act. She was disheartened and only wished to see the emperor for the last time before she died.
Ji Jingrong finally came.
In this dark and damp prison, he stumbled a little when he walked.
Seeing this, Ma Jinyang took out the bamboo stick hidden on his body and tapped the ground with every step.
After walking this distance, Ji Jingrong was in a bad mood.
"I am your biological mother. Are you sure you really want to touch me?" Ji Yun did not notice his bad mood and spoke in an aggressive manner.
"I don't know when my biological mother died. I don't know myself. I don't know what the eldest princess wants to do by pretending this time." Ji Jingrong looked at her across the fence, his face as dark as ink.
She wanted to use his special identity to make trouble, and she was not afraid of implicating herself. If he hadn't cleaned up for her, the reputation of the late emperor would have been ruined by her.
"In the final analysis, you just don't want to admit me." Ji Yun suddenly laughed out loud, "You hate me."
Hating her means that you have feelings for her. As long as there is a trace of feelings, then she still has a chance to turn the tables.
"I hated her." Ji Jingrong said calmly.
That was a long time ago. Now, he has Shi Yi by his side, and every day is stable and peaceful. He is too lazy to think about the past.
Ji Yun was furious, "You must hate me now. If you don't hate me, why would you kill me!"
"Have you forgotten, Princess? You bribed the palace people to put infertility drugs in the rouge and powder that the queen often uses. If I hadn't discovered it in time..." Ji Jingrong sneered, "If you were only targeting me, maybe I could spare your life. But you want to attack the queen, you are unforgivable."
"I leave this for you to deal with." Ji Jingrong glanced at Ma Jinyang standing next to him, and walked out of the prison with his hands behind his back. The road that was a bit bumpy when he came here was now as smooth as walking on flat ground. He was able to get to where he is today because he worked harder and planned better than anyone else.
"I am your biological mother. Jingrong, I am your mother, Jingrong..." Ji Yun shouted while holding the fence.
Ji Jingrong's steps of leaving did not stop for a single step because of the female voice behind him, even though he had gone through many life scenes in his mind like fireworks: the unknown illegitimate son of the Taifu in the Taifu Mansion - a true friend of his sister - the suspected son of the emperor protected by the Taifu - the emperor's unnamed prince - the emperor.
Each step was extremely difficult. But he never gave up once.
He had never seen the light of day since he was born. The injustice of fate made him hate the Taifu Mansion little by little, but he didn't know who to retaliate against. It was his sister who led him out of the quagmire of emotions little by little, hand in hand.
Even if everyone in the world had let him down, as long as his sister was still there, he could forgive everything. If anyone dared to touch his sister, he would seek justice even if he dug three feet of grave.
After the emperor's back was out of sight, Ma Jinyang slowly unlocked the prison door.
"Don't come over here, don't come over here..." Ji Yun retreated to the wall, staring at the prison door without leaving any room for her, ready to rush over and escape at any time.
Ma Jingyang was not a pushover, and after a few steps, he grabbed her throat, the dagger in his sleeve protruded, and he humbly said, "Princess, I'm sorry."
"You..." Ji Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, which was covered by Ma Jinyang's handkerchief in time. She fell to the ground with her eyes wide open, her lips opening and closing, as if she had something to say.
Ma Jinyang squatted down and approached her, and heard her curse silently, "Ji Jingrong, you will not be happy."
He pulled out the dagger without hesitation and stabbed it into her heart.
The emperor had been unhappy for fourteen years. It was rare for him to meet his true happiness, and he had to be cursed by this so-called biological mother. As an outsider, he couldn't bear it.
