C68

When Xiao Jiu'an returned to the capital, the Emperor immediately issued a summons for him to enter the Imperial Palace. Everyone thought that the odds were against Xiao Jiu'an coming out unscathed, but.…

"How strange!"

"I don't understand!"

"Even after you returned from your victory in battle, you still haven't received the Emperor's reward. How can you disobey the imperial decree and leave the capital on your own, but still receive the Emperor's reward!?"

Xiao Jiu'an was very annoyed by his recitation, and said with a cold face, "Xiao Shaorong, enough... it's time to get lost!" Xiao Family's Young Master had nothing to do with his estate, what did he look like?

"Before I leave, tell me why the Emperor rewarded you." In the ice-cold Prince Yanbei's Mansion, there was not even a bit of warmth. Did he really think that he was willing to stay here?

"What? Bestowed to Ji Yunkai? What does the Emperor mean by doing this?" Xiao Shaorong was truly worthy of being a Young Master, as he understood the Emperor's intentions with a single sentence.

"As you thought." Xiao Jiu'an taunted, as a look of disdain flashed past his eyes.

It wasn't that he looked down on the Emperor, but that the Emperor was too arrogant. In the eyes of the Emperor, aside from himself, everyone else was a fool.

"The Emperor… is really shameless. Ji Yunkai saved his life." Speaking of this, Xiao Shaorong could not help but feel a chill in his heart.

At that time, the Emperor was afflicted with a strange poison and the imperial physicians were helpless to do anything. The ministers were all thinking about the matter of designating a new emperor, and even the Emperor himself was preparing to deal with matters behind their back.

At this time, Ji Yunkai stood out and wagered her life, saying that if she could not cure the Emperor's poison, she would accompany the Emperor in death.

In order to concoct the antidote, Ji Yunkai had poisoned herself with the same poison and tested on herself to create the antidote. In order to concoct the antidote, Ji Yunkai had drunk over 100 different medicines, completely ruining her peerlessly beautiful appearance.

Ji Yunkai risked her life, so that the Emperor could live, and the Emperor was not grateful. After that, he actually annulled the marriage between him and Ji Yunkai, stating that her appearance was too ugly for her to be the Mother of the Nation as a reason.

At that time, there were many people who were disappointed, but a majority of them could understand. After all, Revelation could not have an ugly empress. It did not matter if the marriage was dissolved, as long as Ji Yunkai received enough rewards, she could live a peaceful life. But, what did the Emperor do?

Not only did the Emperor not bestow any rewards to Ji Yunkai, but he even bestowed her to Prince Yanbei, who hated her.

At that time, Jiu'an was also poisoned, and the poison used was almost the same as the Emperor's poison but more deadly. When Xiao Shiqing saw that the Emperor's poison had been detoxified, she wanted to ask Ji Yunkai to concoct another set of the antidote, or perhaps ask Ji Yunkai to give her the formula so that she could study it.

Ji Yunkai did not reject, but said that she had used up all the antidote, and there was only one left. She could not concoct a second antidote, but as for the formula?

Ji Yunkai had actually written a copy, but without any medicinal formula to guide it, it was completely useless.

Under such a situation, what would the people of Prince Yanbei's Mansion think of Ji Yunkai?

In this kind of situation, no matter what the truth was, the people of Prince Yanbei's Mansion would only think that Ji Yunkai would not take out the antidote to save Xiao Jiu'an and that the prescription she gave was fake.

Ji Yunkai was naive and did not know any better, but she felt that what she said was the truth. She had done her best and that the people of the Prince Yanbei's Mansion would not hate her, but how could the Emperor not know what the people of Prince Yanbei's Mansion were thinking?

Just when Prince Yanbei's Mansion was extremely dissatisfied with Ji Yunkai, the Emperor actually bestowed the marriage on Ji Yunkai because of her deep affection for Xiao Jiu'an, but in reality, it was a shackle.

Fortunately, the only people who knew of this were the few masters of Prince Yanbei's Mansion. If everyone in the entire Yanbei Army knew of this matter, Ji Yunkai would not be able to establish herself in Prince Yanbei's Mansion.

If the Emperor was so heartless to his savior, how could he treat others kindly? How could such an Emperor be worthy of them going all out?

Originally, the Xiao Family did not approve of Xiao Shaorong getting so close to Xiao Jiu'an, but because of this, the Xiao Family tacitly approved of Xiao Shaorong's actions.

They, the Xiao Family, would be loyal to their king and their country, and would not betray them, but they would not dare to place their lives on the Emperor. They were afraid. Afraid that their bodies would be smashed to smithereens for the Emperor and that what they get in return wasn't a slash from their opponent, but a stab in the back from the Emperor.

He originally thought that the Emperor's ruthlessness would end there, but he did not expect that Ji Yunkai would marry as he wished, and the Emperor still was not willing to let her off. It's really....

"Ji Yunkai is really blind, she's been ruined for her entire life." Xiao Shaorong could not help but say, as he thought of what Ji Yunkai had experienced.

"Do you care about her?" Xiao Jiu'an sensed that Xiao Shaorong was exceptionally concerned about her.

Xiao Shaorong did not deny it and frankly admitted it, "She is in a miserable state. I am just concerned about miserable people and things." It was as if one could not help but look at a pitiful person on the road and feel sympathy for them.

It was just sympathy, but if he really wanted to help Ji Yunkai, it would be impossible.

"There are many people in this world who are worse off than her. They have the energy to care about these useless things. Deal with the rebellion in the army." Xiao Jiu'an

rudely ordered once again.

"I've already locked up the rest of them, and they will be dealt with according to military law. The Marquis of Guangping is your uncle, so I won't interfere." Xiao Shaorong had always said whatever he wanted to say in front of Xiao Jiu'an.

"Yes." Xiao Jiu'an replied and no longer spoke.

Seeing that, Xiao Shaorong could only get up tactfully: "Alright, alright, I'll...."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Steward rushing in. "My Prince, the Princess is in trouble!"

Xiao Shaorong's footsteps paused, and he asked, "What's wrong? Is she going to die? "

The Steward did not answer immediately, but glanced at Xiao Jiu'an. Seeing Xiao Jiu'an nod his head, the Steward said,"The Princess' poison is acting up again. Doctor Zhuge says that he cannot suppress it, I'm afraid, she will die!"

The Ji Family's daughter died after marrying into Prince Yanbei's Mansion on the third day. Even if Ji Family did not dare to quibble with him, the Emperor would not let him go.

When she dies in Prince Yanbei's Mansion, it would be natural for Prince Yanbei's Mansion to be in the wrong. At that time, the Emperor would use the excuse of her saving his life and ask for justice to cause trouble for Prince Yanbei's Mansion.

Xiao Jiu'an had witnessed the Emperor's shamelessness today and was very aware that the Emperor would definitely do such a thing. Therefore, even if he did not care about Ji Yunkai's life and death, at this time, he did not want anyone else to die in Prince Yanbei's Mansion.

Xiao Jiu'an muttered to himself for a moment, then said, "Go, send people to look for Feng Qi."

He believed that Feng Qi would definitely save Ji Yunkai. As for whether or not Feng Qi's injuries would worsen because of this, that had nothing to do with him.…
