Chapter 250 You Died with Me for Love
Ye Xiaoman disguised herself as the fake face of "Gong Zhaoyi" as usual. Ji Wenyi exposed the truth, but she didn't want to be implicated, so she covered up her face so that she could escape to the countryside and live in seclusion in the future.
The gazes of the ministers below were fixed on her glaringly.
She whispered to Ji Wenyi, "I'm not used to this kind of big scene, I'll step aside for now."
Ji Wenyi leaned over to listen to her, holding her waist affectionately, and deliberately answered in the same low voice as her, "Queen, stay with me for a while longer. I'm scared."
Ye Xiaoman: “…”
"Cough!" The ministers in the audience coughed repeatedly, reminding Ji Wenyi and his favorite concubine to pay attention to the occasion.
Ji Wenyi began negotiations with representatives of the aristocratic families and civil and military officials.
After listening to what she heard, Ye Xiaoman concluded that all the major forces in the Divine Realm did not agree with Ji Wenyi ascending the throne and demanded that he surrender and pass the throne to Prince Teng.
Ye Xiaoman was worried that their talks would fail, Ji Wenyi would die, and she would lose her young life.
The talks ended badly as expected.
Ji Wenyi's answer to everyone's requests was "no".
The ministers faced Ji Wenyi, bowed, and left the hall.
The representative of the noble family said harshly: "Your Highness, take care of yourself!"
Then his head flew out.
Ye Xiaoman covered her face sadly.
She waited until all the people who came to attend the court had left, and then she slid down from Ji Wenyi's lap. She made her request in a gentle voice, not knowing how many times:
"I'm very grateful that you saved me today. You tried to kill me before, but you saved my life today. Our grudge is now even. I will never betray you again. Please let me go."
Her attitude was very humble, for fear of saying something wrong and her head would fly away.
The story line is advanced.
In the original novel, Ji Wenyi did not ascend the throne until at least a hundred years later. By then, the old emperor had died of natural causes, and he obtained the throne peacefully.
When he inherited the throne, because he suppressed the aristocratic families too much, a large-scale war broke out in the Divine Realm, which was eventually suppressed by him.
Ye Xiaoman thought about the more than 200,000 troops confronting each other outside, and suddenly felt that it was as if the people who were destined to die a hundred years later were moved to die today.
She didn't want to get involved in the cruel war at all.
Ji Wenyi's response was just a mysterious smile, and he continued to ignore her request.
Holding Ye Xiaoman's hand, he climbed onto the platform.
This is the highest point in the palace, and you can clearly see the battlefield below.
War is imminent.
The streets and alleys of the imperial city were deserted.
All the people hid in their homes, listening anxiously to the noise outside.
The armies of Prince Teng and the aristocratic family alliance, and Ji Wenyi's army, each occupied the streets, and both sides drew their swords silently.
Following Ji Wenyi's order, the armies of both sides started fighting.
Dark clouds pressed down on the city, threatening to destroy it, and black smoke rose into the sky.
The sound of fighting was deafening and the city was burning in flames.
Ye Xiaoman didn't want to watch the bloody scene of the river after watching it for a while.
Ji Wenyi put his hand on the guardrail and took the opportunity to ask for peace, "I have become the enemy of the whole world for you, and you still won't forgive me?"
Ye Xiaoman doesn't use up his CPU.
"Don't come here, the emperor wants to kill you. You and the family have a deep grudge. You will have a war with them sooner or later. Don't play the role of a loving person and put the blame on me."
Ji Wenyi had no way to deal with her ruthlessness and disloyalty, so he pulled her into his arms as if to vent his anger. He pressed his chest against her back, and watched the fight below the tall building with her.
"I could have remained silent for several years before seizing the throne. It was for you that I ended up in this desperate situation."
Ye Xiaoman remained unmoved. "I didn't ask you to do anything for me."
Her heart was as clear as a mirror. As long as she showed a hint of guilt, Ji Wenyi would take advantage of the situation and say nonsense like "Let him become a real man before he dies" or "Why not get married?"
She knows scheming snakes too well.
Ji Wenyi pinched her face depressedly and turned to him, "Are you not moved at all?"
Ye Xiaoman replied with a face twisted into a pout: "I'm going to die with you, I'm not touched at all."
She looked at the battle situation below and saw that Ji Wenyi was in an unfavorable situation.
His army was forced back step by step.
The essence of war is attrition.
Ji Wenyi was trapped in the palace, and most of his troops were also blocked in the palace. Even if the enemy army did nothing, besieged the city, cut off his food supply, and waited for two or three months, they could still starve him to death.
Ye Xiaoman asked desperately: "Will you win?"
Ji Wenyi told the truth: "Forty percent sure."
Ye Xiaoman was so anxious that she scratched her head.
She has no use for her nine dragons now, as the entire sky above the imperial capital has been blocked. It is obvious that the powerful person who designed this city-locking formation must have taken into account highly destructive spirit beasts like dragons, and will not let anyone break through easily.
If she forced her way in, she would be destroyed by the backlash of the powerful formation.
Ye Xiaoman asked again: "What will happen if you lose?"
Ji Wenyi's calm tone was so relaxed that it sounded like a joke: "A former crown prince who killed the king, if he fails, the people of the world will punish him and he will die a miserable death."
He still had the mood to tell her historical stories:
"One of my ancestors did the same thing as me. He was imprisoned in a water dungeon, barely big enough for one person to stand in. It was pitch black, with no sunlight. His lower body was submerged in poisonous water day and night for two or three hundred years before he died."
“When they fished it out, only the white skeleton remained of the lower body.”
Ye Xiaoman: “…”
Ji Wenyi sighed: "If you lose, then commit suicide, that's the best strategy."
Ye Xiaoman: “!”
"After my defeat, I will set this palace on fire."
Ji Wenyi turned her around, and they faced each other. He used the backdrop of the crumbling of the Jiangshan Mountains as his backdrop and lifted her chin: "You will die with me for love."
Ye Xiaoman: “!!!”
Ye Xiaoman felt as if she was being entangled by a huge poisonous snake.
Perhaps when Ji Wenyi killed his father, he had already made preparations and would rather drag her to death than let her fall into the hands of anyone.
She began to feel a little regretful. She should never have provoked such a stubborn man.
Ye Xiaoman was about to refuse sternly when she suddenly received a call from Ji Weiming.
[Shisui, where are you? ]
[Your brother is crazy—]
Ye Xiaoman briefly recounted what had happened.
When Ji Weiming heard that his father was dead, he was calm. However, he became emotional when he heard that his brother was going to drag Ye Xiaoman to commit suicide by burning herself.
Ji Wenyi is a man of his word and always keeps his word.
Ji Weiming stood on the roof of the palace, watching the two armies fighting outside.
His personal guards are limited and cannot break in for the time being, but he knows the secret passage under the palace, so he can escape with Ye Xiaoman.
He sent the secret passage map to Ye Xiaoman, telling her to find an excuse to leave, walk to the nearest entrance, and reunite with him: "You must paralyze Ji Wenyi first. I will come to pick you up right now."
At a certain moment, Ji Weiming had the idea of asking Jiaying for help.
The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before being immediately rejected by his subconscious mind.
