Chapter 613: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General
Ji Yunhuan's body swayed, and he almost couldn't hold the sword in his hand steadily.
In fact, she had suspected Prince Rui for a long time, but apart from the fact that he had modified her mother's suicide note, she could not find any other evidence.
Originally, she had not made up her mind to marry Prince Rui. Although she was sickly, her parents had taught her carefully. The Duke's Mansion was already at its peak, and marrying a royal relative would be too much and would make the emperor suspicious.
The eldest and second sisters-in-law also advised her to think more about it. Even if she wanted to get married, there was no need to rush. The eldest and second sisters-in-law always felt that she was still young and it was appropriate for her to stay for a few more years.
The little niece spoke in a baby voice and was reluctant to let her leave the Duke's Mansion. When she heard that her aunt was going to get married, she stuck to her all day long, fearing that she would run away.
But in the blink of an eye, everything was gone, all her relatives were gone, and the Duke's Mansion she was familiar with turned into purgatory, with bright red blood and mottled corpses everywhere. That day, she felt like she had died again.
Prince Rui also helped to arrange the funeral of the Duke's Mansion, observing all the etiquette and treating himself as the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion.
Ji Yunhuan was in a daze. She kept seeing familiar shadows: her gentle sister-in-law, her cheerful second aunt, her lovely little niece, her cradle baby nephew, and then there was blood all over the floor. She woke up from nightmares again and again.
Prince Rui accompanied her time and again, persuading her to leave the Duke's Mansion. She was afraid that she would really die of illness, and then in the future during the Qingming Festival, there would be no one to pay homage to the Duke's Mansion.
Ji Yunhuan finally agreed to marry Prince Rui. She always thought that it was Prince Rui who pulled her out of the darkness, and she regarded Prince Rui as the light in her life.
But the boundless pain and darkness were caused by King Rui alone!
Ji Yunhuan tasted blood in her mouth, she wanted King Rui to die!
"Huan'er! Huan'er! Look at me!" Yuwen Yi was extremely anxious and could no longer care about anything else. He finally called out the name he had repeated many times in his mind.
He didn't want to call her Miss Ji, nor did he want to call her General Ji. He wanted to call her by her maiden name.
"Huan'er, please let go. Don't hurt yourself. I don't know what the emperor is like, let alone what the queen mother and the queen are like, but I am on your side. I will help you kill Yu Wenrui. I will help you kill him!"
Yuwen Yi injected a stream of internal energy into Ji Yunhuan's body. Although Ji Yunhuan was young, his internal energy was so strong that it almost injured Yuwen Yi's lungs.
Yuwen Yi endured the discomfort and slowly calmed down the inner strength running wildly in Ji Yunhuan's body. His voice became gentler, "Don't be so relaxed. Bite me, okay?"
Ji Yunhuan's whole body was tense, and blood had already appeared between her lips and teeth. The more tense she was, the more chaotic her tendons and veins became, and the more her internal energy became blocked.
Her mind was in a mess, and she seemed to have returned to the day when the entire Duke's Mansion was massacred, and all she saw was blood.
She tried hard to open her unfocused eyes, moved her lips, and bit Yuwen Yi's arm. The suppressed cry between her lips and teeth slowly flowed out, like the wailing of a little animal.
Yuwen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and his internal energy flowed into Ji Yunhuan's body like wildfire, gradually calming the restlessness in her body.
"When we return to Jiayu Pass tomorrow, I will kill King Rui to avenge you! Just treat it as if he died at the hands of the Wujin people."
"Don't listen to Yamud's nonsense. Prince Rui is not a good person, but the Queen is definitely a good person, otherwise I would not have lived to this age and would have been killed by Concubine Xiao. The Queen is upright and does not tolerate any sand in her eyes. She has advised His Majesty many times, which is why she is not liked by His Majesty. The Queen must not know about this."
"The Queen Mother has reached the age of retirement and has never cared about worldly affairs. She certainly doesn't know. They all treat you sincerely and have good things for you. Even if there are evil people in this world, not all of them are evil."
"Your parents and your brother are very good people. You are also a very good person. This is not your fault. You were just deceived by a bad person and wasted these three years."
Yuwen Yi said a lot of things in a mumbling manner, and Ji Yunhuan was stunned. After a long time, she realized that she was still biting Yuwen Yi's arm.
There were two deep tooth marks on Yuwen Yi's arm, and blood was still flowing out.
Ji Yunhuan wiped away her tears and left Yuwen Yi's arms in a panic. She was usually eloquent, but now she began to stutter.
"I... I'm fine, are you... are you okay? Um... you're bleeding, I'll apply medicine to you, yes, I'll apply medicine to you!"
Ji Yunhuan finally found something to do. She rolled up Yuwen Yi's sleeves and slowly applied medicine to him. Her heart gradually calmed down and no longer beat like a drum.
"Are you stupid? Prince Rui only broke his leg, his life is not in danger. He has so many people serving him. If he died suddenly, it would definitely arouse suspicion. He deserves to die, but it's not worth taking you with him."
"Of course I know that the Queen Mother and the Empress treat me well. I can't believe everything Yamud says. I will slowly verify it. This man is really cunning. He planted a seed of doubt in my heart even when he was about to die. He wants to cause internal strife in Chen State. If these things are spread out, true and false news will be mixed together, and the Northern Border Army will definitely be in chaos."
"The stability of our country is my father's lifelong wish. I cannot destroy his hard work, otherwise he will definitely come to me in my dreams to scold me in the middle of the night. This matter is known to heaven, earth, you and me. We cannot allow rumors to spread. Only the dead can speak the strictest words."
Yamud was so shocked that he almost jumped up, but unfortunately he fell to the ground halfway through his jump. He was so angry that his face was hideous, and he shouted: "Ji Yunhuan, are you sick? I am the only witness. Without me, how can you overthrow King Rui?"
"Eighth Prince, you have to think clearly. You can't defeat King Rui by yourself. You are born in a lowly family and will never be able to take the throne in this life. Are you really willing to accept this? When you return to the capital, King Rui will rule the world. Without my help, you can't kill King Rui."
"Women can never accomplish great things. Women are too soft-hearted. Can such a deep blood feud be just brushed aside like that? I have a plan that can both avenge Miss Ji and help the Eighth Prince ascend the throne."
"If you let me go, I will help you spread the news and kill King Rui. Then you can lead the Northern Army back to the Central Plains. You have a large army, so why should you be so timid? Let's fight back together. I don't want much territory. Just give me a few cities and the whole Chen Kingdom will be yours. Isn't this a good deal?"
Yuwen Yi frowned when he heard this. "When the war breaks out, all lives are lost. You really have bad intentions. Huan'er is right. It's better to die."
Yamud had never seen such a stubborn person. Even with such a great opportunity right in front of him, he was unmoved.
"Wait a minute! I have another plan. If you don't want to fight, let me go and I will help you assassinate King Rui..."
"Shut up!" Yuwen Yi's sword was already unsheathed. "A gentleman has his share of things to do and things not to do. We do want to kill King Rui, but we won't collude with foreign enemies and invite the wolf into our house."
