Chapter 191 Are You Even Ignoring Me?
This scene is so sad that it makes anyone who hears it cry.
Zhao Ce's eyes were red. He walked over the ruins to her side, squatted down, hugged her, and patted her gently with his hands.
For a moment, he didn't know how to comfort Jiang Yao, so he just stayed with her, hoping that she would feel better.
Jiang Yao was tired of crying. He stood up with the jar in his arms, looking off into the distance. His voice was hoarse, "Grandpa, we agreed to go for a walk together. If you can't walk, I'll carry you. Let's go now to see the beautiful mountains and rivers, and see the scenery outside of Zhao State."
Zhao Ce hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Jiang Yao, where are you going?"
The girl turned and looked at him with an indifferent look in her eyes: "Let go."
"No, Jiang Yao, don't go. Do you know what the situation is outside now? You..."
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to know." His cold eyes fell on the hands that were holding her arms: "Let go."
Zhao Ce's heart was shocked. It was the first time he heard this tone from Jiang Yao's mouth. He slowly loosened his hand.
Jiang Yao carried the jar all the way out, and the guards surrounding her did not dare to give in.
She looked back at Eunuch Yuan, suddenly walked up to him, snatched the imperial edict from his hand, walked to the still burning pillar, and threw the imperial edict directly into the sea of fire.
"Second Miss Jiang, that's an imperial decree."
Jiang Yao's pale face looked somewhat charming in the firelight.
She turned around and looked at Zhao Ce: "Can I go now?"
"Jiang Yao." Zhao Ce asked unwillingly, "Is it so difficult for you to accept marrying me?"
"Yes, I can't accept it."
"Why?"
"No reason."
"Qianji has left. He doesn't want you anymore. Do you still want to wait for him?"
Jiang Yao was stunned, the light in his eyes disappeared, and he just stood there for a moment.
She looked up, her eyes devoid of anger. "So, Zhao Ce, Su Qianji is gone, and my grandfather is gone too. What makes you think you can still stop me?"
"Because I am the crown prince."
"So I won't marry, and you're going to kill me?"
Zhao Ce stared at her for a long time. He was reluctant to let Jiang Yao go. Firstly, it was for personal reasons, because he liked her. Secondly, it was because of what Su Qianji said. If Jiang Yao was really the blessing of Zhao State, then he could not let her go.
"I won't kill you, but I won't let you leave. Jiang Yao, you should go back to the East Palace with me."
Jiang Yao lowered her eyes, as if thinking. After a while, she said, "Wait a minute. I need to bury my grandfather."
Zhao Ce heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "I'll accompany you."
Jiang Yao didn't care and just walked out holding the jar.
She remembered that Jiang Ao's favorite place was the pavilion outside Jincheng. There was a small hill next to the pavilion, which was the most suitable place for burial. The pavilion could be seen from the opposite side.
Jiang Yao was holding the jar, and Zhao Ce brought many guards and followed behind her, and the people from the Jiang family also followed.
She didn't care about any of this anymore, she just wanted to bury Jiang Ao properly.
When she reached the small hill, she found a branch and dug the soil. Zhao Ce saw this and asked the guards to dig a grave for her and quickly buried the jar.
Jiang Yao did not build the tomb, nor did he allow a memorial tablet to be set up.
She didn't want those people from the Jiang family to bother Jiang Ao in the future, and those people were not qualified to see Jiang Ao.
It was already evening after Jiang Ao was buried.
Jiang Yao knelt on the ground for a long time, and only stood up when night fell.
The people behind her didn't give her any chance to escape and followed her closely.
"Jiang Yao, you still have me in the future, don't be sad."
Zhao Ce said this and wanted to hug her again.
Jiang Yao took a step back, his refusal obvious.
"Jiang Yao."
"I want to go home."
"Okay, I'll take you home."
After Jiang Yao came back, he didn't eat and fell asleep on the bed.
She had a dream. She dreamed that she took Jiang Ao away from Jincheng and Zhao State and went to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Jiang Ao told her stories along the way and talked about the interesting things when he was young.
But this is just a dream, an illusory dream.
Jiang Yao woke up crying and lay on the bed helplessly holding the quilt.
"Why, God, do you torture me like this?"
"I had nothing, but you made me have everything."
"Now you're taking me away in the most cruel way. Why are you doing this to me? Why?"
She cried for a long, long time, crying out about the injustice of God and the injustice of the world.
I cried until the last tear could not fall.
He got up dazedly and took the box out of the closet.
Yue Jian stayed inside quietly.
"Yuejian, can you talk to me?"
"Even you ignore me?"
"Suqianji is gone, grandpa is gone, don't you want me anymore?"
Her voice was extremely hoarse and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
But no matter how she called it, the egg was just an egg, an ordinary egg. It didn't speak, and she couldn't sense anything in her heart.
"No one wants me anymore. No one wants me anymore."
Jiang Yao put the egg back and walked out in a daze.
There were many guards outside the door. When they saw her get up, Xiaolan brought her food.
"Miss, please eat something."
Jiang Yao glanced at the food dejectedly and did not move.
"Miss, you didn't eat anything yesterday. Your body won't be able to bear it if you don't eat."
"Are those outside Zhao Ce's men?"
Xiaolan nodded: "The prince stayed to take care of you."
Care? Or surveillance?
Ha, Zhao Huang and Zhao Ce thought that without Jiang Ao, she would still be controlled by them? Ridiculous.
"Xiao Lan, do you know who was by my grandfather's side before he passed away?"
"It's Butler Liu."
"Where are Liu Guan's family members?"
"When the master came back, he drove him away."
"Driven away?"
Xiaolan was a little angry: "Master is too ruthless. He drove Butler Liu away yesterday and brought people to empty the house this morning. If the young lady didn't have the guards left by the prince, she would have fallen victim to his murderous hands as well."
"Please do me a favor. I want to see Butler Liu."
"Miss, after you finish your meal, I will go find Butler Liu."
Jiang Yao took a few bites perfunctorily and stopped eating.
"Okay, go ahead."
Xiaolan wanted to say something, but then she changed her mind and decided that eating a few bites was better than not eating at all.
She sighed and went out to find Butler Liu.
Butler Liu arrived faster than Jiang Yao had imagined. After asking, he found out that Butler Liu had been waiting outside the door.
Seeing Jiang Yao, he knelt down and said in a choked voice: "Second Miss, the master is gone, the master is gone."
Jiang Yao's nose felt sore and tears started to flow again: "Butler Liu, did my grandfather leave any words?"
"Yes, the master left a letter for you."
Jiang Yao took the letter and was silent for a long time before he mustered up the courage to open it.
——Yao'er, grandpa is gone. Don't be sad for me. I lived a fulfilling life, but I was worried about you. But then I thought, my Yao'er has grown up and become sensible, so it's time for me to leave with peace of mind. After living a lifetime, the thing I can't stand most is saying goodbye, so I don't plan to say goodbye to you. Don't be sad, go and do what you want to do. No matter where you are, I will be watching you from heaven. My Yao'er needs to laugh and be happy. I like to see you laugh the most.
