She didn't dare to make any noise, so she left the place quietly and returned to the imperial ship. When Ji You saw her coming back, he quickly asked: "How is my aunt? Did Concubine Yu agree?" After a while, Wei Jingxuan didn't reply.
, he said strangely: "Auntie, what happened? Why are you sweating profusely? Is it because Concubine Yu refuses?"
Wei Jingxuan bit her lower lip hard until she made deep tooth marks, and then squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "Fei Yu...she lied to me!"
Ji You said strangely: "Liar? What lie?"
Wei Jingxuan took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "She has never thought about supporting me. She has always...always been using me. When she has used enough, she intends to kill me and silence me!"
Hearing this, Ji You turned pale with shock and said in disbelief: "Auntie, you said... Concubine Yu wants to kill you?"
Wei Jingxuan glanced at him and said coldly: "It's not me, it's us!"
"Me?" Ji You pointed at himself and said in astonishment: "Auntie is saying that Concubine Yu...even me is going to be killed?"
Wei Jingxuan looked at him sarcastically and said, "You are so close to me. How could she let you go with her caution?"
Ji You said in a panic: "Then... what should we do now? Auntie, otherwise... we'd better run away quickly, our lives are at stake."
"Escape?" Wei Jingxuan sneered: "Although this is not a palace, there are still guards guarding everywhere. Where can we escape? Furthermore, what can we do after we escape, begging on the street?" Without waiting for Ji You's answer,
She shook her head and said, "I won't leave!"
Ji You said eagerly: "But if we don't leave, Concubine Yu will kill us. I know that my aunt is very smart, but she is the master and we are slaves. How can we fight against her? Besides her, besides her, the emperor
The imperial concubine is also eyeing us, and there is no way out!"
"The way out is not just in front of you, you have to find it on your own." Wei Jingxuan stared at her hands that had stopped shaking and murmured: "It took a lot of effort for me to get through today, and I can't even..." The following words
She did not continue, but instead said: "I must become a master, I must!"
"But now..." Before Ji You could finish speaking, Wei Jingxuan said coldly: "If you are afraid, just leave. I won't force you. Don't regret it in the future."
"That's not what I meant. I...I am also worried about my aunt. If I continue, I will just wait for death." As soon as Ji You finished speaking, Wei Jingxuan sneered: "Waiting for death? What kind of hell have I not passed through in these years?
, the queen, and the imperial concubine all want my life, but in the end, if I don’t live well, a mere concubine is nothing.”
"But..." Ji You was about to say more, but Wei Jingxuan already said: "The time they discussed is to start in two days, so we still have at least two days."
"Two days..." Ji You walked uneasily in the house. After a long time, he stopped and said: "No one in the palace wants us to live well, so the only one who can protect us is the emperor, but my aunt said
, now is not the right time.”
Wei Jingxuan also thought of this, gritted her teeth and said: "It's a matter of life, no matter how unsuitable it is, I have to give it a try. If God doesn't kill me, I will definitely be given a way to live."
At the same time, she also swore in her heart that if things went smoothly in the future, she would not let Concubine Yu go! She had always been the only one who plotted against others, but she had never been plotted against others, let alone being plotted so miserably; if it hadn't been for this time
As it happens, she probably died without knowing who killed her.
In the next two days, everything was the same as usual. Wei Jingxuan and Wei Jingxuan still stayed in the temporary mourning hall. Whenever Hongli had time, he would come here to pay his respects and speak to Mingyu's body.
The forgotten memories came to mind again with Mingyu's death, and they were as clear as if everything happened yesterday, especially his first encounter with Mingyu...
Life...if only it could be as good as it was when we first met. He and Mingyu would not have reached this stage today. Unfortunately...what happened happened, and it cannot be undone by human power. All that is left are regret, guilt and...
Blame yourself.
On this day, as usual, he stayed with Mingyu for a long time before he stood up and left with a sad look. Behind him were Wei Jingxuan and Ji You who were extremely nervous. It was already the second day. After today, the ship would dock. By then
, Concubine Yu will take action to get rid of the two of them.
Perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, Hongli's legs were a little numb and he couldn't stand firm for a moment. He staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, someone helped him in time and said, "Your Majesty, please be careful."
Hongli glanced at Wei Jingxuan who was supporting him, shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
"I know that my master is gone. Your Majesty, you are very sad. But no matter how sad you are, your master will never be resurrected. I believe that your master is in heaven, and I want your emperor to live well. After all... she has always cared about the emperor." She said.
Choking with sobs, she said: "I still remember that when my master was alive, he often talked about her past with the emperor. Every word was filled with such deep affection, which moved me very much."
Hongli looked at Mingyu lying quietly in the ice and said sadly: "Really? I thought that she only had resentment towards me these years."
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said: "No, no matter what misunderstandings you have with the master, the master will always be deeply devoted to you. This slave and Ji You know best."
Ji You quickly said: "Yes, during the more than a year of being imprisoned in Kunning Palace, the master missed the emperor more. Sometimes, he would call the emperor's name in his dreams in the middle of the night. During those days, the master lived a very miserable life.
.”
Hongli's eyes were slightly red, he took a deep breath, and said guiltily: "It was me who was sorry for the queen. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't be so confused."
Wei Jingxuan squeezed out two tears and said with a sad expression: "Master left so suddenly, the slaves don't know what to do in the future?"
"After returning to the palace, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to rearrange errands for you. Don't worry too much." Hongli didn't have a good impression of Wei Jingxuan at first, but after Mingyu died, seeing Wei Jingxuan so sad, he kept chanting Mingyu.
Jade is so good that my attitude can't help but change a little.
Wei Jingxuan said with a grateful face: "I thank you for your grace, but..." Her expression changed and she said sadly: "Where can I find a person as good as my master in this world? In fact, I would rather return to Xinzhe."
Ku went on an errand."
Hongli was a little surprised and said: "Xinzheku? Why?" In the Forbidden City, the errands of Xinzheku were the most painful and tiring, and no palace official would volunteer to work there.
Wei Jingxuan lowered her head and smiled and said: "This slave is originally from Xinzheku. I just received the grace of my master, so I stayed with you to serve you. Now that my master is gone, it is natural for me to go back to Xinzheku."
