Chapter 376: Marquis Mansion Madam vs. Younger Prince 119
Liang Yunye hung under the eaves with familiarity, knocked on the window twice, and whistled. The sound was melodious and sounded like a bird's song.
Ji Yunhuan felt a little helpless. He didn't know what Liang Yunye's hobbies were. He had to climb walls and climb roofs just to go home. It seemed like it was costing him his life to walk a few steps properly.
"There's no outsider here, come in."
The early morning sunlight poured in and hit Ji Yunhuan's face, as if she had been coated with a layer of golden light, making her sparkle.
Her belly was already big, and she had difficulty moving. She lazily leaned on the couch and waved at Liang Yunye, "You're like a monkey. Can you go through the front door next time?"
Liang Yunye chuckled and sat down next to Ji Yunhuan, staring at Ji Yunhuan's belly with surprise.
He wanted to touch it, but was afraid of breaking it so he didn't dare to reach out his hand. In the end, he just placed his hand lightly on Ji Yunhuan's belly. Strangely, he seemed to feel the heartbeat of the baby in her belly.
It was as if they were born to know each other, just as he was familiar with his sister.
Liang Yunye sat on the ground and reported Ji Rongyue's miserable condition to his sister, feeling particularly gloating.
"I wanted to kill her with a knife, but you wouldn't let me. I followed her for a day and a night. I even went to the mass grave and saw that she was completely dead."
Since the person was already dead, Ji Yunhuan ordered people to collect Ji Rongyue's body. There would be no funeral, so just let Ji Rongyue rest in peace.
Jing Yu came out from the side room with a misty look on his face, and coaxed Liang Yunye away with just a few words. When he ascended the throne, he would definitely send this guy away!
The weather in August has turned cold. It rained a little in the second half of last night, so Jing Yu shamelessly stayed.
Ji Yunhuan was already wearing a padded jacket with a circle of fluffy white fox fur on the edge. His little face had become fatter, and he looked quite naive.
Jing Yu, however, had his arms and legs open and his clothes were loose; his belt slipped down as he walked, revealing his sturdy waist.
Ji Yunhuan took a deep breath and scolded with a smile: "What do you want to do so early in the morning? Didn't you have enough fun last night? You should go back to the palace."
Jing Yu climbed onto the couch. The already small space became even more cramped. The two of them pressed tightly together, and the couch, unable to bear the weight, sank a little further.
Jing Yu rested his chin on Sister Huan's head, held Sister Huan in his arms, and touched Sister Huan's belly again and again.
"The night is short and the sun is rising. From now on, the king will not attend the court early. The land of gentleness and beauty is really unforgettable. There is no court today. Fortunately, I am not the king yet. Let me be ridiculous again."
"Sister Huan...Sister Huan...I really want to hold you like this forever. Can you please love A Yu more?"
Ji Yunhuan felt A Yu’s reluctance to let him go, as if this departure would be a farewell to life and death.
She kissed A Yu's lips. A Yu's body was shaking and trembling, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or excitement.
With the ebb and flow of the tide and the movement of the stars, all the emotions are condensed into a line and bloom within the body.
The sun gradually rose, Jing Yu was satisfied, his heart finally settled. He hugged Sister Huan and moved from the couch to the bed in the inner room, leaving traces of mess along the way.
Ji Yunhuan leaned on Jing Yu, his voice a little hoarse, "The Second Prince is completely useless and cannot be helped. The Emperor has successively issued decrees to arrange for other princes to enter the six ministries, just to support another person to compete with you."
"You have to be careful. The fifth, sixth, and eighth princes are all born to concubines. The current situation is chaotic, and there may be people who want to fish in troubled waters and gain the credit of being a follower of the emperor. Regardless of whether they have this intention or not, the current situation will push them forward."
"The emperor had no choice but to give the position of Prime Minister to my father, relying on him to stabilize the situation. However, the emperor was still wary of my father, and there were more and more voices in the court opposing the Prime Minister. Although the emperor was lying in bed, he was still the emperor after all, the legitimate heir, and naturally all officials were loyal to him."
Jing Yu held Sister Huan's hand and said nonchalantly, "He is just barely surviving. If he drinks another dose of medicine, he will definitely die."
"The Second Prince is not completely useless. At least he invented a poison like the Heart-Eating Pill. With a little improvement, it looks like a chronic disease. He is just waiting for the heart to stop suddenly and the person will die."
"As for my good brothers, my father is really kind and never had the heart to discipline the princes. They have all been spoiled and timid. I have people in the six ministries, so they won't be able to cause any trouble if they go in."
If it weren't for Sister Huan urging and coaxing him to make progress, he would have been neither good at literature nor martial arts, and would have been spoiled.
Jing Yu spoke lightly, but he involuntarily increased the strength of his hands, and his palms were sweating. He held Sister Huan and only then did he feel his heart calm down.
"I'll leave Chen Peng to you. If... I'll let Chen Peng take you out of the capital. I've already arranged it. You go far away and never come back to the capital."
Ji Yunhuan knew the uneasiness in Jing Yu's heart. Up to the age of eighteen, A Yu had spent seventeen years of his life growing up in the love of his father and mother. He was like a well-cared-for seedling that was forcibly pulled up taller in one year and forced to grow into a big tree.
If possible, Ji Yunhuan also hoped that A Yu would always be carefree, and his biggest worry would be being questioned about his homework by the teacher. He could hang out with friends in school, ride horses in the spring, and have fun without being involved in any conspiracy or bloodshed.
But being a prince with such a father meant that his life was destined to be full of blood and gore. If he couldn't climb to the top, he would only become a stepping stone for others and would not have a good end.
She gave A Yu the ability to read minds and revealed all the truth in advance. She pushed A Yu and the Queen onto the road of no return. If they succeeded, they would rule the world, but if they failed, they would die without a complete body!
Now the time has finally come when the true intentions are revealed. Even though all preparations have been made, the Queen controls the harem, and there is Ji as the Prime Minister, but the other princes are eyeing them covetously, and there are undercurrents in the capital, so no one can guarantee what the outcome will be.
Ji Yunhuan didn’t say anything about living and dying together. She had already died once, so what was there to be afraid of?
She tied a belt for A Yu. The belt was embroidered with complicated patterns and inlaid with sparkling jade. It was extremely luxurious. She patted Jing Yu's chest and smiled calmly. "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Jing Yu heaved a sigh of relief, fearing that he would be reluctant to leave if he stayed any longer. He kissed Sister Huan's lips one last time, like a dragonfly touching the water, and then turned around and left resolutely.
Ji Yunhuan stood at the door and watched A Yu leave. Only when she could no longer see A Yu did she blew a not-so-standard whistle.
A breeze blew by, and Liang Yunye appeared from nowhere and stood in front of Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan sometimes felt it was magical. It seemed that Liang Yunye was always there as long as she needed him. Only when she didn’t need him would Liang Yunye really listen to Jing Yu and go out to do things.
"Yun Ye, I ask one last favor of you. Follow A Yu into the palace quietly. No matter what happens, you must protect A Yu."
"You have followed me long enough, even if it is to repay a favor, it is enough. You are a natural genius, and it is really a waste of your talent to follow me. No matter what the outcome today is, the future is bright and you will definitely have the opportunity to make achievements."
