Chapter 493 Tyrant 18
Chapter 493 Tyrant 18
When Yun Ji was a few years old, he was thrown into the cold palace by Emperor Qing because of his unknown identity. He was still young at that time and survived by stealing food from the vicious dogs raised by the guards in the cold palace.
The guards and palace maids found it very interesting to see a three-year-old child snatching food from the vicious dog. In order to satisfy their own pleasure, the guards and palace maids would try to stop Yun Ji every time he was about to be bitten to death by the vicious dog, and then throw the "trophies" - a pile of chopped vegetable and meat porridge - on the dirty stone slabs.
The survival instinct in the desperate situation made Yun Ji want to live strongly.
The guards and maids in the cold palace are the lower class of the imperial palace. There are no masters here, and naturally there is no oil and water like in other palaces. They are the lower class of the imperial palace and can only vent their anger on the unfavored concubines in the cold palace. However, most of those concubines were taken away by the imperial concubine and killed in front of Emperor Qing.
The cold palace became silent until Yun Ji arrived.
This bastard, who was suspected not to be the emperor's biological son, was their best target for venting their anger.
So what if he is a high and mighty prince? He is still not liked by the emperor, thrown into the cold palace and ignored, even worse than these lowly guards and palace maids.
They inflicted all the bullying they had experienced in other palaces on the young prince. Seeing him crawling forward and fighting with wild dogs for a bite of food, they felt that life in the deep palace was not so boring after all.
But the good times did not last long. The wild dog raised by the guards somehow bumped into the imperial concubine, and all the guards and maids in the cold palace were implicated, and were buried with the imperial concubine's soiled clothes.
Yun Ji was the only one left in the cold palace.
No one suspected why the vicious dog, who was living well in the remote cold palace, would suddenly attack the imperial concubine who was far away in the main hall.
No one thought about the deposed prince.
After that, the cold palace seemed to be forgotten by everyone, and no palace maids or guards were assigned there anymore.
No one knew what the deposed prince did in the cold palace.
Until she was picked up by the imperial concubine, she thought it was just a spur of the moment action, completely unaware that her every step was calculated by a child.
Yun Ji just wanted to leave the cold palace and the imperial palace, that's all.
But the Imperial Concubine and Emperor Qing refused to give him a chance to live, so there was naturally no need for him to show mercy to them.
He made them torture each other and sent them to hell together.
At the same time, Yun Ji also understood a truth: only if he was in a high position and made them afraid of him, would he never go back to his previous days in the cold palace.
The Imperial Concubine once said that Yun Ji’s mother loved him very much, so much that she even kowtowed to the Imperial Concubine, who was once a lowly palace maid. It was because of this that the Imperial Concubine did not take his life.
The imperial concubine said these words with the intention of showing her kindness to Yun Ji. After all, in her eyes, she really did not take Yun Ji's life, right?
At that time, Yun Ji nodded silently. So this was kindness. He would also be kind to the imperial concubine.
So much so that later, when the imperial concubine was unable to live or die, every time she thought of these words, she could not help but regret it.
He had been in the cold palace for many years and had never received any instruction from the Grand Tutor. With the Imperial Concubine and Emperor Qing around him setting an example and doing all kinds of foolish things, he naturally learned a lot from them and even surpassed them.
Even though the Imperial Concubine and Emperor Qing were incompetent, they still had reservations when they acted. Emperor Qing's weakness was the Imperial Concubine, and the Imperial Concubine's weakness was her maternal family. They could not be completely cruel.
But Yun Ji was different. He had been struggling to survive alone in the cold palace for a long time. When he was extremely thirsty, he would lick the moss. When he was extremely hungry, he would catch bamboo rats in the cold palace. All those morals, propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame were completely useless to him.
Even the virtuous concubine that the imperial concubine talked about loving him was all a long time ago. He was still ignorant of the world and had never met the virtuous concubine. Her love was too far away.
But Yun Ji was still willing to give this love and posthumously conferred the title of Concubine Xian on her. As for Concubine Xian's mother's family, they naturally did not get any benefit from it.
It was the virtuous concubine who loved him, not those insignificant people.
If you really think you can control him by relying on the fact that he is from the virtuous concubine's mother's family, you are totally wrong.
This truth was also discovered after Concubine Xian's mother's family suffered misfortune.
Everyone in Yun Dynasty was afraid of him and wanted to kill him.
Yun Ji always thought that Jiang Lingruo was the same, but after she captured him, she did not kill him right away.
What was even more bizarre was that even when he was trapped by her chains, he actually felt a tingling sensation of excitement.
Jiang Lingruo always thought that Yun Ji was unconscious when he was handcuffed with chains. After all, it was their first meeting and his attitude towards her was not very kind.
Yun Ji even wanted to resist and kill her.
But she never expected that Yun Ji, who was unconscious at that time, was actually awake.
There was no sign that the token on the shelf had been moved. The woman beside him was sleeping soundly, even holding his waist affectionately.
Yun Ji's heart beat inexplicably faster.
The blood in his body seemed to be boiling, he wanted to be closer to her, wanted to go further with her.
But why did he react like this?
Considering that Jiang Lingruo was the daughter of the Gu Clan's Saint, Yun Ji guessed that this woman must have poisoned him with the love Gu while he was unconscious.
So every time Jiang Lingruo forced herself on him, his body was hard to control. He was craving for her remaining warmth, and he gradually got used to hugging her to sleep every night.
Even though he hated her to death, Yun Ji couldn't help but indulge himself with her.
In fact, he had fallen in love with Jiang Lingruo a long time ago. It had nothing to do with the love poison or the fact that they were together day and night. Perhaps it was just the first time he saw her.
Yun Ji could actually resist, or let Jiang Lingruo ascend the throne later, but he just cooperated with him and let her capture him and sit on the throne that belonged to him.
Yun Ji had been troubled by headaches for a long time. He had never taken the relief medicine given by the imperial concubine. As he grew older, the sequelae naturally appeared. He knew that he would not live long and might die from the loss of control when the disease struck.
He didn't care about this, otherwise he wouldn't have killed the imperial concubine, the only person who had the antidote.
He was tired of losing control every time he had an attack. The pleasure of killing could relieve the symptoms, but it was not a complete antidote.
Everything in the world is so boring, and it’s time for the Yun Dynasty to be destroyed.
But before he could act on this idea, he was stuck.
He couldn't bear to kill her, and every time he threatened her, he did so only when he knew she was awake and could resist his actions.
Yun Ji didn’t know why this happened, he just thought it was due to the love poison.
Now he understands.
It turned out that it wasn't the love poison that was at work, he really loved her.
"My Majesty." Yun Ji leaned close to Jiang Lingruo's ear, and his hot breath made Jiang Lingruo feel itchy.
"Ok?"
"I don't want to kill you anymore."
Jiang Lingruo: “…”
