Just as the officials in the palace were uneasy, so was Feng Ning on the manor outside the city.
Yesterday, Feng Ning pretended to be using Feng Qi's name to lure him out of the city, but didn't expect for Ji Yunkai to be completely unmoved.
But when did he offend the military?
He didn't even dare to breathe as he was being chased closely by the black clothed men behind him. How could he have the energy to care if the cold wind was blowing painfully on his face? All he could do was try his best to run …
The cold wind blew, causing people to feel chills all over their body. The officials attending the palace banquet saw the pastries and fruits brought in by the eunuchs and maids and felt chills run through their bodies. No matter how many braziers there were, it would not warm their hearts.
As expected...
But why didn't they hear anything?
The fact that the Emperor was able to find fresh flowers and fruits right under their noses was truly a terrifying feat.
The officials in the palace looked at the delicate and tender food on the plates, each of them chewing without tasting anything. For a moment, they really did not notice anything amiss.
The Emperor sat atop the Dragon Throne, watching the expressions of the people below him. Looking at the faces of the ministers who tried their best to conceal their fear, the Emperor couldn't help but smile.
It was not in vain did he try to put down his face, throw aside his past bad intentions, and ask Ji Yunkai for help.
And after this incident, the enmity between Ji Yunkai and the officials of the aristocratic families had been formed, Ji Yunkai wanting to stand aside and watch without doing anything, to be alone, was simply a dream.
The emperor raised his wine cup to cover his mocking smile …
The cold wind blew wantonly outside the hall, and the inside was as warm as spring. The dancers in gauze tried their best to twist their waists on the stage, and their dancing was as beautiful as a dream. However, at this moment, neither the emperor nor the ministers were in the mood to enjoy it.
At that moment, Ji Yunkai was probably the only one who was truly enjoying the dance.
She knew what the emperor was thinking, and she understood what he was thinking. He wanted to push her out and use her as a knife to point at the officials of the aristocratic families who were hindering him from reforming.
The question was, would the emperor be able to solve it?
Does the Emperor want her to do what she has to do?
She was not Lord Ji. Other than relying on the Emperor, she had no other way out. Even if she, Ji Yunkai was only a blade, she would not obediently let the emperor hold her hand. No matter how he chopped, her blade would not be easy to control.
Just like the person who wanted her to go to the manor … I'm afraid it's not going to be easy.
If he wanted to scheme against her, it would have to depend on whether she was willing to be duped. She, Ji Yunkai, had never been someone to be bullied by others.
Ji Yunkai lifted her wine cup and took a sip, covering the smile on her lips. Noticing that there was an evil gaze staring at him, Ji Yunkai frowned and turned to look. Unsurprisingly, she met Sky Martial Princess's eyes that seemed like they were ready to devour humans.
She was in a good mood today, so she didn't mind playing with Sky Martial Princess for a bit.
Didn't Sky Martial Princess want her to take off her mask and reveal his "ugly state"? She did not mind following Sky Martial Princess's wishes and revealing her exceptional beauty.
After all, this world only looked at her face, she had a good face which held many advantages. Especially when Xiao Jiu'an was not in the capital, a beautiful face which could help her gain points.
She had an extremely beautiful face, in the eyes of many people, she could stay in Xiao Jiu'an's place. To be able to get Xiao Jiu'an's favor, when Xiao Jiu'an had spent so much money for her, she could only kill for her face.
In most people's eyes, before she was old, before her looks changed, before Xiao Jiu'an got tired of her, Xiao Jiu'an would not easily abandon her. After all, she was a beauty.
Ji Yunkai did not mind what the others thought, he more or less thought the same.
If not for her exceptional complexion, why would Xiao Jiu'an have treated her better and better?
Similarly, if it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Jiu'an had a face that moved her heart, she wouldn't have forgiven him so easily.
This was the world as it was before. The first thing Ji Yunkai thought of was that face, no matter what a good person did, it would be easier than others, this was something Ji Yunkai never doubted.
Ji Yunkai looked at Sky Martial Princess provocatively, then put down the wine cup and waited for him to make a move.
Without waiting for Ji Yunkai to finish singing and dancing, Sky Martial Princess stood up. "Your Majesty, when I was at the Sky Martial, I heard that the noble ladies of the Revelation are all extraordinary and capable, I wonder if I would be able to enjoy the beauty of the noble ladies of the Sky Martial."
Sky Martial Princess was smart, she did not start off with Ji Yunkai, but rather courteously praised all of the noble ladies in Revelation.
During the palace banquet, your highness had always been part of the segment in which the emperor presented to him, and your performance was rewarded by the emperor. Sky Martial Princess's current suggestion wasn't unexpected, at least, no one present disliked it.
"Of course." The emperor agreed as he looked meaningfully at Ji Yunkai.
Anyone with a little brain would understand that when Sky Martial Princess opened her mouth this time, it was most likely for Ji Yunkai, but …
Now that the Sky Martial Princess had not made her move, it was impossible for Ji Yunkai to suddenly jump out.
