Chapter 936: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 78
In Yuhua Courtyard.
Ji Yunhuan frowned, immersed in an endless nightmare.
She was forced to get engaged to Zhao Wenyuan. Shen Shen's love was too thin and could not go beyond the rules and etiquette, nor could it go beyond the face of the Shen family. After all, Shen Shen would not make a fuss for a woman. He just wrote a few sad love poems for her. She burned all the letters and married into the Zhao family in a cold and lonely manner.
Her mother-in-law was difficult to deal with and her relatives were cunning. She served them carefully, increased income and reduced expenditure, and tried to find ways to make money to supplement the family income and maintain Zhao Wenyuan's dignity. However, Zhao Wenyuan was heartless and ungrateful. No matter how well she did, he never showed her any sympathy.
Without the support of her natal family, she could not get a divorce and could only endure day by day.
She put in all her efforts and finally helped Zhao Wenyuan to a high position. Although it was just an empty title, he was appointed as the Minister of the Chancellery, which was more than enough to deal with a fifth-rank doctor. Besides, Ji Changmao had committed many crimes. As long as someone exposed the matter, Ji Changmao would die!
But Zhao Wenyuan was unwilling!
Zhao Wenyuan was only interested in enjoying his wealth and didn't want to create any trouble. Besides, Ji Changmao was his father-in-law. It would be embarrassing if he reported his father-in-law. He was also counting on Ji Changmao to do things for him in the Ministry of Personnel. Now that he was in a high position and had great power, Ji Changmao was very fawning on him.
Ji Yunhuan pleaded several times and analyzed the pros and cons. Even if it meant reporting his father-in-law, the new emperor was generally a person who could distinguish right from wrong. He would not dislike Zhao Wenyuan for this. He would only think that he could distinguish right from wrong, punish the wicked, and had made contributions to the country.
Zhao Wenyuan was just perfunctory and did not take any action. He even wanted to secretly erase all traces and attack those victims who had managed to survive!
Ji Yunhuan knew that she couldn't wait any longer, so she could only beg Censor Shen and ask the Shen family to impeach Ji Changmao!
But Zhao Wenyuan actually suppressed the matter. Zhao Wenyuan had been monitoring her all along. How could a woman in the inner house compete with the Shangshu Ling who was in the limelight? Those victims could not escape the poisonous hand after all. In an accident, they all died.
Zhao Wenyuan was hypocritical and even asked for an imperial decree for her biological mother to appease her!
But how could this be enough? What she wanted was Ji Changmao's death!
She thought about going to the palace to file a complaint. She naturally couldn't meet the emperor directly. She could only see the queen and concubines. Concubine Qin had a very good personal relationship with her, but she didn't want to involve Qin Youyou.
Qin Youyou is a simple person, and she was able to become a concubine only because of the prince's favor. Qin Youyou has helped her enough, and she cannot harm Youyou.
Zhao Wenyuan was affectionate and loving to her in front of outsiders, but he was cold and mean to her in private. He would beat and scold her if he was dissatisfied with her at the slightest.
She saw herself lying on a hospital bed, overworked and dying of depression!
However, Zhao Wenyuan climbed high and fell hard, committed many evil things, which made the emperor disgusted, and he did not have a good ending!
Ji Yunhuan suddenly opened her eyes, her heart beating violently. She knew very well that the person in her dream was not her, but she could feel all her anger and unwillingness so clearly!
She suddenly understood that Ji Shiting must know everything that happened in her previous life, so she was determined to snatch her "good marriage"!
In the dream, Prince Yun was vicious and brutal. Under the deliberate guidance of Madam Dong, he really wanted to poison his younger brother. Prince Yun was unwilling to marry a woman from a humble family, and Ji Shiting was a willful person. The two quarreled endlessly. Prince Yun also took in several concubines, but he just wouldn't touch Ji Shiting.
In this life, she has changed, Yun Ye is also different, what about Ji Shiting? Is she still the same Ji Shiting?
Yun Ye came in from outside, "Why do you look so bad? Is the baby in your belly disobedient again?"
Ji Yunhuan's heartbeat gradually stabilized, and the anger and unwillingness gradually dissipated. Ji Changmao was dead, and Zhao Wenyuan was not far from death. Ji Yunhuan in his dream could rest in peace.
"It's okay, I just had a nightmare, it's nothing serious. Ah Ye, can you send someone to the prison to check if Ji Shiting has done anything unusual recently? Is she still in prison?"
Yun Ye didn't ask any more questions and sent someone there immediately.
"Look at you, you're sweating all over. You can even have nightmares when you take a nap. You should ask a doctor to take a look and prescribe some soothing medicine."
Not long after, Qingfeng came back to report.
"Your Highness is really good at predicting things. Ji Shiting is really a restless person. She has been making a lot of trouble in the prison. I don't know how many times she has been beaten, but she still won't stop."
"Today, when she was emptying the toilet, she injured the jailer and tried to escape. However, she was shackled and handcuffed, so she didn't get far and was caught soon. I specifically told her to keep the handcuffs on her from now on. Let's see how she can run away!"
"The prison boss failed in his duty and was given 20 strokes of the cane. From now on, the jailers will have to do things like emptying the toilet, and the prisoners can't do it. Who knows, there might be other prisoners who will follow his example and take the opportunity to escape next time."
Ji Yunhuan felt a little relieved. Even if Ji Shiting had an adventure, she still couldn't escape from prison.
On New Year's Eve, the palace banquet was very grand. The number of officials entering the palace was twice as many as usual. Brilliant fireworks were also set off in the capital city to share the joy with the people.
When the emperor was in his prime, he pacified the borders and worked hard to govern the country. Now he is old, overworked, and in poor health. He might as well cultivate himself and live a few more years.
Ever since the eighth prince's rebellion, the emperor has been enjoying himself with his grandchildren, and has not attended court unless there are important events. He has ordered the crown prince to govern the country.
Now the Ninth Prince is very much loved by the Emperor, and the Tenth Prince's biological mother has also been promoted to the position of concubine. The two younger ones are of the same mind as their eldest brother, the Crown Prince, and their mothers are the Crown Prince's connections in the palace.
Shuan'er was given a name by the emperor and was named the Crown Prince. The emperor also kept him by his side to teach him. The Crown Prince was smart and clever. The emperor saw the shadow of the crown prince when he was young in the Crown Prince. After all, he and the crown prince could never go back to the past. Fortunately, there was the caring Crown Prince to comfort his loneliness.
The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were eager to get closer to the Crown Prince. They were still young and did not have much affection for their eldest brother, so they counted on the Crown Prince's support in the future.
The prince is still very respectful to his father. The father is kind and the son is filial. The brothers are friendly and respectful to each other. The society is very peaceful.
The position of the crown prince was secure, and there was even an imperial grandson, so there was nothing to fight for. The previous gloomy atmosphere in the capital city was swept away, all officials returned to their posts, and the people felt at ease.
The grandiose case of treason came to an end. Some were killed, some were exiled, and some were reduced to slavery. The prison was finally empty.
Ji Shiting didn't want to be exiled. She wanted to stay in Shangjing, even if it meant being a court prostitute. Unfortunately, this was not something that could be decided by just a few words from her. She was handcuffed and shackled and exiled to a bitter and cold place.
Ji Yunhuan still felt uneasy. She had a strong intuition that she must get rid of Ji Shiting!
Ji Yunhuan woke up from a nightmare again, hugged Yun Ye beside him and said, "Aye, I heard that my sister was sentenced to exile. I am really scared. Is it possible for her to return to Shangjing City in the future? She hates me to the core. Can...can I..."
Yun Ye patted Ji Yunhuan on the back and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. It's normal for someone to die on the way to exile. She will definitely die!"
Ji Yunhuan's tears wet Yun Ye's clothes, "Why is the prince so nice to me? Doesn't the prince think that I am very vicious?"
Yun Ye kissed the tear marks on Huan'er's face and sighed, "You are still vicious? In my opinion, she should have been killed long ago! When she framed you and tried to kill you in the manor, I wanted to kill her!"
"She is lucky to be alive now. It is easy for people to die during exile. It is not surprising that she is among the dead."
Ji Shiting died of illness during exile and her body was buried on the spot. Ji Yunhuan finally felt relieved.
