The moment Ji Yunkai opened her mouth, Duke Ping knew that she had said the wrong thing. No, it should be because she did not do the right thing and failed to frame Ji Yunkai, and instead allowed Ji Yunkai to find the loophole.
"I would definitely feel guilty if I were to force myself to commit suicide, but …" Ji Yunkai was startled, then looked at Duke Ping mockingly. Seeing that he looked uncomfortable, Ji Yunkai slowly spoke up, "They were killed by someone, why should I feel guilty for the murderer?"
This matter was not done cleanly, as long as the investigation was carried out, the whole story would be revealed. Therefore, the Duke of Ping did not dare to lie and told the truth about what had happened. including when he had his people kill those servants of the Southern Garden, and then fake hang himself to frame Ji Yunkai.
"Idiot!" Before the Emperor could finish listening, he angrily scolded, "Killing a few underlings would at most ruin Ji Yunkai's reputation. That woman Ji Yunkai, does he care about reputation? "That woman doesn't take fame seriously. Did you just find out today?"
"Your Majesty, this subject only wants, just wants …" After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find anything to say.
He never thought of making Ji Yunkai take responsibility for or compensate him with her life. He just wanted to use this matter to pressure Ji Yunkai so that she could be at ease and know just how powerful he was.
How would he know that he would make a mistake in the end and give Ji Yunkai a reason to leave the southern courtyard?
"There's no point in thinking about anything else. Immediately arrange a place for her to stay." Even if she could not arrange people to monitor her closely, she could not be allowed to return to Yanbei Army's camp.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Duke Ping was like a little hope as he obediently retreated and arranged a new residence for Ji Yunkai.
The new residence was not as luxurious as the southern courtyard, but it was still considered exquisite. Furthermore, there were not many fake mountain gardens, and there was basically no way to hide the person. Ji Yunkai was very satisfied.
After suffering a huge loss at Ji Yunkai's hands, the Duke of Ping did not dare to provoke her again. Since Ji Yunkai had said that she did not like the servants of the Inner Palace, the Duke of Ping would not arrange anything for her.
The battle between Ji Yunkai and the Inner Palace, or in other words, the battle between her and the Emperor, had finally concluded with Ji Yunkai's victory. Although she had earned his wish, after changing his residence and kicking out the people who were monitoring his, his reputation had worsened.
Twenty odd corpses were hung outside the southern courtyard. This kind of thing could not be concealed at all, and there was no need for the emperor to add fuel to the fire. The news of Ji Yunkai being harsh and arrogant had already been spread out at the first moment.
The ordinary people might not know about it, but almost everyone in the upper echelons of the capital knew about it. While saying that Ji Yunkai was not good, they did not forget to discuss about the Ji Family's home tutors.
To be able to teach such an arrogant and despotic daughter of Ji Yunkai, how good could the home tutor of Ji Family be?
I heard that Ji Family still has a daughter in the palace, and she's even a imperial concubine. Based on the daughter raised by Ji Family, is she qualified to become a imperial concubine?
Ji Lan was the sole concubine of the imperial concubine, so it was impossible for her to be seen by others …
He didn't know how many families in the capital wanted to pull down Ji Lan, the only concubine, or trample Ji Family. If not for the fact that the Ji Family's Third Miss had disappeared a while ago and if not for the emperor's obvious concern for his, these people would have already taken action.
However, it wasn't too late, and the chances were just right.
In just three days of time, news had spread throughout the capital that the home tutors of the Ji Family were not good, and the daughter that was raised was unruly and ignorant, willful and arrogant, and could kill without blinking an eye …
Later on, the rumors became more and more exaggerated. What kind of unmatchmaking, obsession, and love for men all came. However, all of this dirty water was not poured onto Ji Yunkai, but on Imperial Concubine Ji Lan.
In fact, these two days, the rumours were centered around the Ji Family and Ji Lan, and it had nothing to do with Ji Yunkai at all.
The news got bigger and bigger, and very soon, the Ji Family could no longer sit still. However, rumors like this can't be suppressed by you, so even with the Emperor's help, Ji Family was unable to suppress them for a short period of time.
"Evil creature, truly a evil creature." Sir Ji, whose body was wrapped up in the rumors, practically didn't dare to go out. He could only curse Ji Yunkai, the main culprit, from home.
But what's the use of cursing at a time like this?
"Master, we should go find Yun Kai and have him settle this matter." Madam Ji seemed to have aged several dozen years in this period of time. Her face, which had been properly maintained, was now completely aged.
Lately, too many things had happened. First, the birds killed people in the Ji Family, then there was still Ji Xin missing. There was still no news of her, and no one knew whether she was alive or dead. One by one, the pillars truly wanted to destroy Madam Ji.
"She? If she was willing to show her face, she would have done so long ago. How could she wait until now? That evil creature will be restless if he doesn't cause trouble for one day. " When Master Ji first heard the rumors, he had thought of letting Ji Yunkai explain the rumors clearly, or come out to face them, and blame it on himself.
But he knew that this was the only thing that he could think of. Ji Yunkai would definitely not agree to this.
His daughter's wings had long since hardened, and she didn't take him, her father, seriously at all.
"Master... She was our daughter after all. If it really doesn't work, can I go beg her? "Xin Er's whereabouts are unknown, whether she is dead or alive is unknown. Right now, we only have Lan`er as our daughter. For the sake of my Lan`er, even if we have to kneel down and save her, I am willing." Madam Ji's face was filled with tears. Her delicate body seemed as if it would collapse at any moment, but she pretended to be resolute and straightened her back.
When Lord Ji saw Madam Ji's feigned strength, it was as if he saw …
"Don't go." Lord Ji closed his eyes and cleared away the images in his head. He said heavily, "I'll go. I'll go beg her. I'm her biological father."
He refused to believe that Ji Yunkai could ignore his own father's request …
