Chapter 736: The old woman delivering the cake

Views:

Shuer…

Silent night sky, starry.

"Shu Er."

Wei Yi's ink-colored pupils were bottomless.

Countless images of being with Ji Yunshu flashed in his mind.

When he was tired, she let him rest on his lap.

When he was afraid, she would touch his head and tell him not to be afraid.

When he is happy, she is happier than he is.

When he was in danger, she would risk her life to save him.

I still remember that night in Jinjiang, he carried the injured her on his back, sang songs all the way, and walked slowly on the quiet street.

Let's put kongming lanterns together, let's put river lanterns together, make clay figurines together, together...

The screen kept flashing before his eyes.

Gradually disappeared!

"Shu Er..."

No matter how he called that name, the sound couldn't penetrate the mahogany door in front of him, and could only whistle in his ear.

Getting smaller and smaller!

He was almost… desperate enough to give up the idea of going out.

In the end, he could only hold his trembling arms and shrank into a ball again.

"Dong dong."

Someone knocked on the door.

Hearing his head up, he vaguely saw a person standing at the door.

The man was not tall, with a hunched back. Judging from the shadows of his hair accessories and clothes, he should be an old lady in the palace.

"Child? Do you hear me?"

The old woman's voice was very vicissitudes, but it showed a kind and gentle tone, even a little sad.

Wei Yi stood up and approached the door.

"Who are you?"

The old woman outside heard the sound, her body tensed, and the lantern in her hand almost fell to the ground.

A wrinkled face was extremely uncomfortable, and the deep sunken eyes were not only red.

Isn't this person the same old mama who Wei Yi met in the courtyard when Jing Xuan was taken into the palace

"Son, you must be hungry, right?"

Wei Yi did not answer.

The old woman shoved half of the cake in her arms through the crack of the door.

"Come, eat something, don't starve yourself out."

The cake was handed in, but Wei Yi was slow to pick it up.

He asked again, "Who are you?"

"I'm..." The old woman was suddenly at a loss for words and swallowed her words.

about to speak-

The two young ladies of Zhangzhi Hall heard the movement here and came over quickly.

The old woman shook her hands and shrank back, so that the cake that was handed in fell to the ground.

"Who's over there?"

Two little eunuchs came over with lanterns.

The old woman faltered and hurried to the side to dodge, but was caught anyway.

"Mother Zhang? It's so late, why are you here?"

The old woman lowered her head, "I came out for a walk, I didn't expect to come here."

"Don't walk around in this big night. The lady has an order not to allow unnecessary people to come."

"Yes, I'll go right now."

With a sigh of relief, the old woman left.

The two little eunuchs said something softly, glanced at the room where Wei Yi was imprisoned, and then left with confidence.

In the room, Wei Yi looked at the half of the cake that fell on the ground, and after a long time, squatted down and picked it up.

There was a thin layer of ash on the cake, and he held it in his hand, clenching his fingertips a little bit.

took a bite.

Holding back the tears in his eyes.

Lonely cold night, blowing into people's bone marrow.

It hurts so much...

the next day.

The emperor's two imperial decrees came to the general's mansion.

After the eunuch passed the decree, he left in a hurry.

The imperial decree is nothing more than two points, one is to dismiss Ji Li from his post, and the other is to dispatch Ji Huan to send troops immediately without error.

The two brothers were holding an imperial decree each, not knowing how angry they were.

Ji Huan even threw the imperial decree directly on the table, "Over the years, I have been born and died for Dalin, and I have destroyed countless cities. Now I am sent to the frontier to fight the barbarians. I can't swallow this breath."

Ji Li was much calmer, "Even if you can't swallow it, you have to swallow it."

"Brother, is this the case?"

"You want to go against it?"

Uh!

opposite

Ji Huan really never thought about this, so he swallowed and said, "Although I am dissatisfied with the emperor's decision this time, if you rebel, it is treason and a big sin."

"Since you know, don't say it anymore." Ji Li said in a dull tone, "Okay, you should hurry up and prepare, you can't delay the destruction of the barbarians, and be careful yourself, don't be impulsive about bad things, although a hundred thousand troops are enough to beat the barbarians , but don’t take it lightly.”

"I know, but..."

Ji Huan faltered, unable to speak, he simply threw his hand away and left.

As soon as the person left, Ji Shuhan called Ji Li over.

"What the hell is going on here? Why did one go to the palace, one was dismissed, and the other was sent to the frontier to fight barbarians?"

Ji Shuhan was furious.

Ji Li also answered honestly, "As the Secretary of the Ministry of War, Prince Rong naturally wanted to stop him when he returned to the capital, but he didn't expect that the emperor's edict in the hands of Prince Rong was true, which made the emperor furious, and it was said that the prince killed the prince. He was charged with the crime, so he was removed from office.”

"You still don't tell the truth?"

"It's all about..."

"boom!"

Ji Shuhan slapped the table.

"Your father, I have also been an official in the court for many years. Although I resigned and returned to my hometown, I also know that it is very tricky. This time, it is a party dispute between King Yi and King Rong. Mu Qing has become Princess Yi. You should help King Yi to gain power. Yes, but you have always been careful and never used by others. Even if you want to help, you should reach out secretly. Now it's better. You have become an early bird and you have been dismissed. Barbarians, what face does my Ji family have to have a foothold in the capital?" Then he said angrily, "If King Yi becomes the crown prince, Mu Qing will be the mother of the country in the future, but now something happens, King Yi is frustrated, and King Rong has gained power. The position of the prince is really uncertain."

sigh!

To put it bluntly, what Ji Shuhan cared about most was whether his daughter could be the queen.

Ji Li was reprimanded and did not explain much.

It can't be said that the younger sister was sleeping in the palace, and Jing Yi held the handle in his hand. He was forced to be a first-time bird

Still swallowing this.

"Dad, don't worry, the child has his own plans."

"What are your plans?"

"Let's talk about it, now that the imperial decree has been issued, the boy has to go back to the Ministry of War."

"go Go."

Ji Shuhan had a frustrated look on his face, and took a sip of tea to suppress his shock.

After Ji Li went out, he saw Ji Wanxin on the corridor.

stopped her.

"Wanxin."

Ji Wanxin paused in her footsteps, revealing her charming face.

"Is something wrong, bro?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the weather is not very good recently and your body is weak, so I ask you a few words."

"Wanxin knows."

In fact, Ji Li didn't care about this, rolled his eyes and asked, "Big brother has something to ask you, please tell me honestly."

Ji Wanxin frowned slightly.

"Big brother just asks, as long as Wanxin knows, naturally he won't hide it."

"Have you always been in contact with Yun Shuke?"

Uh!

Her drooping eyes frightened slightly, and they were invisible.

"Last time Yunshu went to the Yufu, when he passed Jinjiang, he met once, and after that, there was no contact."

really!

but-

Ji Li didn't believe it, "Although you haven't met, do you have correspondence?"

"Never!"
