Chapter 6: Beautiful Daughter of an Aristocratic Family vs. Middle-aged Emperor with No Heir
In the woods.
The emperor stood with his hands behind his back. An Yi knelt respectfully in front of him and spoke in a steady tone:
"This girl's name is Ji Yunhuan. Her father is Ji Gongming, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and her mother is Xu Junwan, the only daughter of the Xu family..."
The secret guards only report the information they have collected without any subjective opinions. Everything is decided by Your Majesty.
The emperor listened with a cold face, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart!
What arrogance, cruelty to his concubine sister, Ji Yunhuan is just a fool! Allowing others to throw dirty water on him, if he hadn't met him, wouldn't he have been tortured to death in the nunnery!
How could she seduce a man outside her? She would be so desperate if he touched her that she wanted to die to prove her loyalty. She had a charming body but she was born with a personality that didn't understand romance.
The emperor was so angry that he gave up the idea of taking Ji Yunhuan away directly.
This woman looks weak, but she is very determined. If she doesn't want to, she might really die. That would be a shame.
"You personally take people to Shuiyue Temple. Don't reveal my identity. Just do it in the name of the Ji family."
"Yes!" An Yi's figure flashed and quickly disappeared into the woods.
At dusk, the door of Shuiyue Temple was pushed open from the outside, and a team of guards rushed in. They wore badges with the word "Ji" on their waists and held knives in their hands, looking intimidating without even getting angry.
Jingxu thought it was Aunt Zhang's people coming, so he went to greet them excitedly.
An Yi drew his sword and chopped off Jingxu's head cleanly.
Bright red blood spurted out, and An Yi took a step back inconspicuously, avoiding the smelly blood. The old nuns who followed behind were caught off guard and had their faces sprayed with blood.
They were so frightened that some of them rolled their eyes and fainted. Some of them were trembling and kneeling on the ground. Some of them collapsed on the ground with a pool of light yellow liquid under their bodies. They were so scared that they peed their pants.
An Yi waved his hand and said coldly: "Go ahead! Anyone who has bullied our daughter must not be spared!"
"Ah! Help! Please spare me, I won't dare to do it again!"
"I didn't bully Yunni. No, I didn't bully Miss Ji. Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
"Jingxu forced me to do this. It's none of my business!"
Screams rang out in the yard one after another. The old nuns were soon beaten black and blue, covered in blood, and were only breathing their last breath.
The nuns in Shuiyue Temple had never seen such a scene before. They all knelt on the ground, trembling, and tried their best to distance themselves from the incident, fearing that they would be the next to be caught.
Master Jing'an was released. She knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and only then were the lives of these old nuns saved.
An Yi threw a bag of silver to Jing An and said coldly: "Our young lady is a delicate and precious lady. It is a blessing that you will never get in your nunnery to cultivate with your hair uncut."
"This money is for the nunnery's incense money. If you dare to bully the young lady again, don't blame me for killing you!"
An Yi left with a team of guards. With this combination of kindness and force, no one in Shuiyue Temple would dare to disrespect Ji Yunhuan anymore.
That night, Ji Yunhuan moved from the woodshed to the best wing.
Dinner was also prepared in the kitchen, with four dishes, a soup, and even meat. Everyone was very respectful to her, calling her "Miss" and not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Her maid was also released. When Ji Yunhuan was sent to a nunnery, only Taohong was willing to follow her. Taohong was loyal to her and went against Jingxu and others to protect her, and suffered a lot.
Taohong had a lovely baby face. When she saw Ji Yunhuan, she rushed over and hugged her and cried.
Ji Yunhuan touched her head and comforted her: "It's okay, you are a grown-up, why are you still crying like a child? We are all fine now."
Taohong looked at the furnishings in the room, her nose felt sore and tears almost burst out again.
"Miss, you have suffered a lot. This house is too small. It is not even as big as the house Taohong lived in before. I am sorry for the injustice."
"I heard that the master has sent someone to pick you up soon. You are the legitimate daughter of the Ji family, and the master will definitely not ignore you."
Ji Yunhuan didn't say anything, but just touched Taohong's face. After not seeing her for a few days, Taohong's chubby face looked much thinner.
This heartless and silly girl didn't understand at all that the Ji family had abandoned them and no one would take them back.
She knew that she was walking on a very dangerous road. It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. If she could conceive a royal heir, the emperor would definitely protect her.
But she was afraid that she could not protect Yao Hong. This girl was simple-minded and was not suitable to enter the palace at all.
"Taohong, I heard that your family has come to find you. I will give you the indenture, and you can go home now."
Tao Hong was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't quite understand what he meant. Ji Yunhuan said it again, and Tao Hong's face turned pale instantly. She fell to her knees with a plop, crying:
"Miss! I won't leave! You saved my life. I belong to you my whole life. It's all Taohong's fault. It was Taohong who failed to protect you. If they bully you again next time, I will not leave you even if I have to sacrifice my life."
"Miss, please don't chase me away, okay? Taohong was wrong, Taohong will change..."
Ji Yunhuan thought she had hardened her heart, but she still succumbed to Taohong's crying. She helped Taohong up and said unhappily:
"I'm afraid of you. I'm not trying to drive you away. I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't want to leave, forget it. Just follow me and suffer in the future. Don't regret it."
Taohong burst into laughter and said, "No regrets, no regrets. Following the young lady, Taohong is not afraid of hardship!"
Taohong quickly cleaned up the room. This room was originally prepared for Ji Yunhuan, and there were some of her clothes and jewelry in it.
After the master and servant had dinner, Ji Yunhuan ordered hot water for a bath.
With Taohong's help, she changed into an elegant double-breasted skirt. Her hair was loosely tied into a bun with a jade hairpin inserted. Her little face, without any makeup, was already breathtakingly beautiful.
Taohong was dazzled by the young lady's smile. Her young lady was the most beautiful woman in the world!
Ji Yunhuan pinched Taohong's nose and said with a smile, "Go out and close the door. Remember what I said. No matter what strange noises you hear, don't come in. Do you understand?"
