Chapter 678 Concubine Shu’s Hatred
Chapter 678 Concubine Shu’s Hatred
"I don't ask His Royal Highness to release Qingqing from prison. I just hope that when the case is settled, His Royal Highness can ask the Ministry of Justice to leave Qingqing's body intact. This will make me feel satisfied."
Ji Nanchuan said on the surface that he had a deep father-daughter love for Ji Qingqing, but in fact he had already hated her in his heart.
He worked hard to cultivate her for sixteen years, but not only did she not give him the slightest reward, she also almost destroyed the Yongning Marquis's Mansion.
Originally, he thought that Luo Jingshen had feelings for Ji Qingqing, and he could use this to gain some benefits from the prince.
But unexpectedly, after the accident, Luo Jingshen's attitude towards Ji Qingqing was so cold.
It was as if there had never been love between the two of them.
Ji Nanchuan didn't know what went wrong, but he also knew that Ji Qingqing had not captured Luo Jingshen's heart at all.
If the other party really loved her, how could he watch the Yongning Marquis' Mansion perish without helping?
And Ji Qingqing did disappoint him.
From the moment she attacked Ji Qingfeng in the cell, Ji Nanchuan sentenced her to death in his heart.
Now, he would not allow anyone to save Ji Qingqing, and even hoped that she would die sooner.
The more tragic Ji Qingqing's death was, the more hatred he felt would be relieved.
And Ji Nanchuan's actions just hit Luo Jingshen's heart.
Before he took Ji Nanchuan upstairs, he was already prepared for the other party to plead with him to save Ji Qingqing.
He thought to himself that if Ji Nanchuan dared to ask him to save Ji Qingqing, he would completely turn against him and tell Ji Nanchuan to get out.
Unexpectedly, the other party's actions were beyond his understanding.
Even Ji Nanchuan has given up on Ji Qingqing, so now she is probably really hopeless.
Luo Jingshen immediately raised his glass and said with a smile: "The past is over, why bring it up now?"
"If the Ministry of Justice really convicts Miss Ji, I will personally come forward to talk to them and ask them to leave Miss Ji's body intact."
Ji Nanchuan raised his glass and said respectfully: "Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"I offer a toast to Your Highness."
Luo Jingshen clinked glasses with him, and they both drank the wine in their glasses at the same time.
Now they seem to have returned to the time when they were the emperor and his subjects.
But how could Ji Nanchuan not know that no matter how good the friendship was in the past, it was all based on what he could bring to Luo Jingshen.
Now that he is down and out and has nothing in his hands, there is naturally no way back.
But Luo Jingshen's next words rekindled hope in Ji Nanchuan's heart.
He just said, "I have been friends with the Marquis for so many years, how could it change just because of such a small matter?"
"In my heart, I have long regarded the Marquis as a close friend. Apart from you, I don't trust anyone in the court."
"When the Marquis' Mansion was luxurious and wealthy, I was very close to the Marquis. Now that the Marquis' Mansion has fallen into decline, it is naturally impossible for me to break off my friendship with the Marquis."
"I have always believed that the decline of Yongning Marquis's Mansion is only temporary. As long as the Marquis is here, it is only a matter of time before it rises again."
Luo Jingshen's words made Ji Nanchuan very happy.
He privately thought that the other party said this in order to tell him that he was willing to protect himself and the entire Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Thinking of this, Ji Nanchuan knelt on the ground and said, "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness, I will definitely obey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in everything from now on. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tells me to go east, I will definitely not go west. Everything will be subject to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's orders."
Luo Jingshen looked at himself and said a few words to make Ji Nanchuan loyal to him.
He sneered in his heart. It seemed that Ji Nanchuan's loyalty to Luo Junhe was just this level!
In his heart, he probably thinks he is more capable than Luo Junhe?
Luo Jingshen looked down on Ji Nanchuan, but in his heart he enjoyed the feeling of being admired.
If Luo Junhe knew that his father-in-law was loyal to him and not to him, how would he feel?
Luo Jingshen couldn't help but imagine the expression on Luo Junhe's face. He felt that it must be an extremely exciting scene.
When Ji Nanchuan saw Luo Jingshen raise a smile on his face, he realized that the other party might be in a good mood.
He really wanted to ask Luo Jingshen why he was so happy?
But he didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would say something wrong and upset the other party.
It was also because of this that Luo Jingshen missed an important piece of information.
He thought that Ji Nanchuan and Luo Junhe were close in private and that they had reached a consensus.
Little did he know that Ji Nanchuan had never even met Luo Junhe, let alone knew that his leg had healed.
The two of them were listening to music leisurely in Baixiang Tower, while Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were locked up in the clan house.
Here, Ji Yuntang met many concubines, almost all of whom were Emperor Jingyang's concubines.
Some of them were imprisoned in the clan residence by Emperor Jingyang's order because they said the wrong thing.
Some were framed and imprisoned.
Their conditions are not very good, and almost everyone is tortured to the point of being terminally ill.
Some of them even went mentally insane, sitting in a corner holding a piece of clothing, crying and calling their children's nicknames.
A concubine saw Luo Junhe and immediately rushed up to him with a fierce look on her face.
"It's you. You finally dare to come and see me..."
Luo Junhe originally thought that the other party was also a lunatic.
But he didn't expect that the next second the woman took out a sharp knife and stabbed him in the heart, "Go to hell!"
Luo Junhe reacted very quickly and dodged it.
He looked over with deep eyes, and saw that after the woman missed her first strike, she raised the knife with trembling hands and pointed it directly at him.
"It's been twenty years. I've been waiting for you for twenty years. Do you know how much I've been suffering here?"
"Cao Wan'er, I hate you!"
Seeing this, Ji Yuntang hurried over to Luo Junhe and asked, "Ahe, what's going on?"
Luo Junhe narrowed his long peach blossom eyes and said, "If I'm not mistaken, she must have recognized me as Concubine Li's son."
He didn't hear it wrong just now. The other party called Cao Wan'er.
And Cao Wan'er is the name of Concubine Li.
I think this concubine must have seen him.
There must have been some conflict between her and Concubine Li, so she was imprisoned in the clan house for twenty years.
She couldn't see Concubine Li, nor could she kill her.
Therefore, when they saw Luo Junhe entering the clan house, they naturally wanted to kill him.
Thinking of this, Luo Junhe asked tentatively: "Do you know Concubine Li?"
The concubine had a hideous face and distorted features. When I mentioned her name, I felt so angry that my teeth itched.
"How could I not know her? Even if I become a ghost, I will never forget her."
"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been locked up in such a dark place. I dream of killing Cao Wan'er."
This concubine was originally Concubine Shu. She entered the palace at the same time as Concubine Li. She won the favor of Emperor Jingyang at their first meeting and was named Jieyushi.
At that time, Concubine Li was just a minor talent and had no favor from the emperor at all.
Shufei will never forget that it took her three years to finally climb up from a talented lady to the position of a concubine, and she became pregnant with Emperor Jingyang's child.
But because she ate a piece of cake, she ended up like this.
The person who gave her the pastries was Concubine Li.
Concubine Li had a very good relationship with her on a daily basis, and the two of them were very close.
Because they entered the palace at the same time, they got along very well and soon became good friends.
Li Cairen is gentle and introverted, and is often bullied in the palace, while Shu Jieyu is a hot-tempered and passionate person. When she sees Li Cairen being bullied, she can't help but want to help her.
After a few interactions, Li Cairen was moved and verbally acknowledged Shu Jieyu as her sister. The relationship between the two sisters was once again sublimated.
