Chapter 368: Marquis Mansion Madam vs. Younger Prince 111
Ji Mansion.
Ji Yunhuan's belly had grown swollen, and as the weather was getting hotter, she was too impatient to wear thick clothes to cover it up, so she simply moved in with her mother under the pretext of taking care of her.
My mother's yard is full of confidants, and a circle of guards are deployed around it. In addition to the original staff of the Ji family, there are also Jing Yu's people, who guard this yard very tightly.
Liang Yunye also settled down in the Ji Mansion. He didn't choose a place to live. He lived with the people sent by Jing Yu. He was free to come and go, and no one cared about him.
Ji Tongfu basically lived here and was always by Mrs. Ji's side.
At this time, the small study was full of people.
Ji Yunhuan looked at the briefing sent back from outside the capital and couldn't help but frowned, "The emperor doesn't care about the people at all, he only cares about his own power!"
"Tongzhou is full of starving people, and the people are displaced, but the emperor does nothing about it. Did he send out these 10,000 elite soldiers to kill people and silence them? If all the people are dead, he will naturally be innocent. Next year, when offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, he can still lie and say that he is diligent in his work and loves the people, and that the people live and work in peace and contentment!"
Ji Yunhuan became angrier the more he thought about it. In his previous life, his father supported disaster relief, and the emperor also let the second prince get involved.
Only half of the first batch of food reached the victims. My father knew the trick but couldn't point it out, so he could only inspect the surrounding towns himself. With him watching, the exiled victims could get more food rations.
My father was wholeheartedly serving the people, but in the end he was killed by a "mob" of unknown origin, and his body was never recovered.
After his father's death, the victims could no longer get food rations, and a group of victims fled outside the capital. The Second Prince's family embezzled the relief funds, but they all blamed their father!
Liang Wanzhou even turned the tables, suing the late Ji Shoufu for corruption and bribery, which led to the riot among the victims.
My father died in disgrace, and the Ji family became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat. They framed all the crimes on my father, and the Ji family’s century-old reputation was ruined in an instant!
The emperor must have known about his father’s injustice, but he didn’t care at all.
Such a Jing Kingdom and such an emperor are not worth my father's efforts at all!
Ji Tongfu thought his daughter was feeling sad for the homeless refugees. As a woman, she also had a feeling of worrying about the country and the people. This was a righteous cause, and he was very pleased.
However, he still glared at his daughter and whispered, "Huan'er, be careful with your words. The emperor is the Son of Heaven. How can you discuss him?"
Ji Yunhuan lowered his head, concealing the emotions in his eyes, and stopped talking.
The Queen Mother was the mastermind behind the plan to kill the Emperor. Jing Yu could read minds and must have read the Queen Mother's plan, but he did not stop her.
When I went to the palace to pay homage to the Empress that day, my mother must have seen through the clues but she pretended not to understand.
Only my father still believes that the emperor is really ill.
Her father could tolerate her rebelliousness, allowing her to kill Liang Wanzhou, find Jing Yu to spend her life with, and even get pregnant before marriage. In her father's eyes, these were all private affairs of his children, and even if they were against ethical principles, her father would stand by her.
But killing the king and seizing the throne goes against my father's lifelong loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism, so I'd better not let my father know about it.
Jing Yu sat in the main seat and smiled indifferently, "Father-in-law, don't be angry. Huan'er is right. It was father who made the mistake. We can talk about this private matter behind closed doors, and it won't be spread outside."
Ji Tongfu bowed to Jing Yu and said, "Your Highness is very clear about right and wrong, and has a sense of justice. It will be a blessing for all people if he ascends to the throne one day. However, the emperor has sent troops to suppress the refugees, and I wonder how many casualties there will be? Does Your Highness have any good ideas?"
Ji Tongfu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Huan'er was too bold to scold his father in front of his son. Fortunately, the third prince did not take it to heart.
Jing Yu was sitting next to Ji Yunhuan, kneading Huan'er's hands, with a serious look on his face.
"Huan'er has always been worried that the emperor would take action against the victims, so I asked Wu Lang to visit the palace a few days ago. Wu Lang was born in a noble family, and his ancestors were also generals. He is the most slick-tongued, the youngest among his peers, and the best at making the empress dowager happy."
"The emperor just remembered him and appointed him to lead the army yesterday. Wu Lang is timid, uneducated, and a playboy. Lord Ji, don't worry. I guarantee that they won't fight."
Ji Tongfu felt relieved when he knew that the Third Prince had a way to deal with it. Now that he was a layperson and had little experience in his life, he would not interfere in court affairs unless the Third Prince took the initiative to bring it up.
Ji Yunhuan knew more. Jing Yu wanted to climb over the wall to find her every day, but it was useless because she was pregnant and Jing Yu couldn't do anything.
When the two of them had nothing to do, they would chat about trivial matters in the court. Ji Yunhuan subtly mixed in things from his previous life so that Jing Yu could respond in advance.
Jing Yu is not the emperor and cannot take care of the victims within the Jing Kingdom, but at least Ji Yunhuan hopes that those outside the capital can survive in this life.
Ji Yunhuan said, "The emperor also knows that they are the victims of the disaster and are unarmed. A 10,000-man army can wipe them out in an instant. It doesn't matter who leads the army. The emperor arranged Wu Lang to lead the army because he was still worried about the military power falling into the hands of the generals, and asked Pei Ci to assist in supervising the army, which hindered each other."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ji Yunhuan's eyes.
In the previous life, Liang Wanzhou colluded with Pei Ci Fu and framed all the crimes on Ji Shoufu. Liang Wanzhou rose to prominence by stepping on the Ji family, and Pei Ci Fu also got the coveted position of prime minister.
Jing Yu was also preparing to kill Pei Ci Fu. He had long noticed that Pei Ci Fu had defected to the Second Prince, and Pei Ci Fu had also received a lot of disaster relief money.
"Now that Pei Ci Fu has obtained the power to supervise the army, he will definitely follow the army out of the city to show off his power. That's great. Now that you've gone, don't come back!"
Liang Yunye squatted at the door of the study like a monkey, with no idea how to sit or stand properly, and was out of place among the group of people who were sitting upright.
When Liang Yunye heard that someone was going to kill someone, his eyes lit up instantly. He jumped three feet high and raised his hands excitedly, "Sister, brother-in-law! Let me go! I will definitely kill that Pei guy and make sure he dies without a complete body."
The call of "brother-in-law" pleased Jing Yu greatly. Apart from the fact that he loved to stick to Huan'er too much, Liang Yunye had no shortcomings and was really very useful.
In order to keep this kid busy, Jing Yu put a lot of thought into it and sent Liang Yunye running all over the capital. However, Liang Yunye was unwilling to stay too far away from Ji Yunhuan. The area around the capital was his limit.
Jing Yu praised him and encouraged him, "Yun Ye is indeed brave! He will definitely be a powerful general of our Jing Kingdom in the future! You leave the city now, remember to hide your whereabouts, fish in troubled waters, and wait until Pei Ci Fu is besieged by the victims, then you can quietly attack, otherwise the victims will not be strong enough to kill that old man!"
Liang Yunye looked at Ji Yunhuan eagerly, waiting for his sister to speak. Ji Yunhuan nodded. Liang Yunye cheered, opened the door, and ran away like a wild horse.
