C102

In the eyes of many people, external things were negligible. There was no need for them to care about it, but…

It was just like a piece of expensive clothing or a piece of luxurious jewelry. It could allow a person to become more confident and at ease.

The Ji Yunkai, who would not pity herself, who would not blame her misfortune on others, who had met with a setback and not complain about the injustice of the heavens, and who would not blame others for not saving her, was restored.

No!

So, what right did she have to ask Xiao Jiu'an to be good to her and save her when she was in danger?

Even though Xiao Jiu'an was her husband, she did not have any feelings for him, and she was not very willing to marry him in the first place.

Imperial Advisor Ji was her father, but she did not fulfill her responsibilities as a filial daughter. She did not respect or worship Imperial Advisor Ji from the bottom of her heart, so what qualifications did she have to ask Imperial Advisor Ji to unconditionally spoil and love her?

Because she was his daughter?

Just because the original owner treated him with respect and longed for his fatherly love, then should she desire to obtain Imperial Advisor Ji's love?

She was Ji Yunkai, she was not the original owner. Even if she pitied the original owner, she did not need to become a substitute for the original owner's feelings. She was like a hedgehog, whose quills kept everyone at bay to protect herself; she resented Imperial Advisor Ji deeply.

It was the same for the Emperor as well. The Emperor had control over the lives of everyone in Revelation, so it was already a fortunate thing that he did not directly take her life. What right did she have to demand fairness?

Furthermore, she had indeed lost the Imperial Family's Phoenix Pendant. It was normal for the Emperor to resent her for not being able to obtain the Phoenix Pendant from her.

Right now, it was not wise to go against the Emperor. The only thing she could do was to silently accumulate her strength and quickly find the Phoenix Pendant. This way, there would be a day when she would no longer be manipulated by others and could even deal a fatal blow to the Emperor who was above her station.

Throwing away the shackles in her heart, Ji Yunkai let go of her resentment toward Xiao Jiu'an and Imperial Advisor Ji which caused her to feel at ease. She began to look forward to life, and she no longer felt as muddled and down as before.

It was unknown whether it was due to the return of her Innate Talent or the nature of a girl, but Ji Yunkai originally liked flowers and plants very much. The courtyard she lived in was barren, and she wanted to improve her living conditions and make herself more comfortable. After Ji Yunkai asked the Steward, she paid for the plants with her own money and asked the people of the Prince Yanbei's Mansion to buy many flowers and seeds, as well as gardening tools.

Without asking for help, Ji Yunkai dug holes and filled up the soil as she transplanted the flowers and plants into her courtyard.

Ji Yunkai was very aware that her abnormal ability could not be known by others. In her modern era, when the information was easily accessible, normal people would not be able to accept her abnormal ability, let alone this era where information was sealed and hard to obtain.

Ji Yunkai did not use her abilities excessively. She only kept the transplanted flowers and plants alive which, in turn, caused them to grow even more vividly than before.

Those, who did not know better, would think that Ji Yunkai was an expert in gardening, and could take care of them.

Of course, it was just that. The servants of the estate still did not regard Ji Yunkai as a Master and did not dare to get close to her. After all, with Xiao Jiu'an's decree about not needing to care about Ji Yunkai's life and death, the people of the Prince Yanbei's Mansion would respect Ji Yunkai to an extent and treat her as air.

Although the servants did not dare get close to Ji Yunkai, the Masters could do so if they wanted.

The Infanta, who had temporarily "lost her mind" per Feng Qi's diagnosis, had been imprisoned inside the estate by Xiao Jiu'an after she was sent back by the Emperor that day, preventing her from going out. However…

There were countermeasures.

Xiao Jiu'an did not allow Infanta Shiqing to leave her courtyard, so she secretly flipped over the wall. Then, she did not go anywhere else and loved to come to Ji Yunkai's place.

Especially after Ji Yunkai's courtyard was filled with flowers and plants, Infanta Shiqing liked to stay there even more. Even if Ji Yunkai rarely spoke to her, she did not mind. She could nest around the flowers and plants for a whole day.

She came to disturb Ji Yunkai every day, but Ji Yunkai thought Infanta Shiqing had lost her mind and did not feel that anything was amiss. However, the maidservant beside her felt extremely guilty and helped Ji Yunkai do some caretaking that was within her capabilities.

Ji Yunkai never thought that the first people in Prince Yanbei's Mansion that would accept her would be Infanta Shiqing and the people beside her, but even so, Ji Yunkai still did not dare to get closer to her.

Her instincts told her that Infanta Shiqing was a dangerous person. Even if she had lost her mind in the meantime, she was not a person who she could get to know as she pleased.

However, the more Ji Yunkai ignored her, the more Infanta Shiqing liked to stick close to her. Since Ji Yunkai could not kick her out, she could only let her do what she wanted.

Xiao Jiu'an did not know that all of this had taken place.

Because of the impeachment by Qin Faction, Xiao Jiu'an had been in the palace every day, arguing with the officials in the Imperial Court.

They argued that this was done to give Xiao Jiu'an face, and the imperial censors had said a bunch of things. However, Xiao Jiu'an had said, "This King does not understand what you are saying, take out the evidence!"

Since no evidence could be produced, you will shut your mouth for This King one by one.

Can you produce evidence?

Alright, This King will tell you all one by one, what is perjury.

Indiscriminate killing of innocent people?

This King only killed a spy from the Southern Wilderness who dressed up as a civilian.

Abuse of lynchings? Public revenge for a personal grudge?

Bullying the Emperor?

This King is completely loyal to the Emperor.

You said that This King poisoned himself with the poison from the Southern Wilderness?

The people of the Southern Wilderness hate This King so much, so how can they give their country's poison to me? It is already good enough that the people of the Southern Wilderness did not poison This King to death.

Do you still want to continue causing trouble?

Do you all think you're clean?

Do you all think that you are saints?

Do you all think you did not make a mistake?

Was the impeachment made out of thin air?

This King does not make things up out of thin air. This King is seeking truth from facts. This King will present the evidence to the Ministry of Justice one by one!

If I can report and turn in the Little Young Master of the Qin family, who do you think you people are?

During this period, the Imperial Court had become like a pot of porridge. All the imperial censors in the Imperial Court had begun to impeach Xiao Jiu'an, and the crimes pinned onto him became more and more serious.

Beyond the Imperial Court, Xiao Jiu'an's men would report these officials' sons today, and these officials' brothers and uncles tomorrow.

The Ministry of Justice did not consider them as criminals, but it was not possible to not investigate them either. It was a huge struggle, and they could not wait for the Emperor to immediately issue an order to send Xiao Jiu'an back to Yanbei...
