Chapter 329 After Revenge, You Fall in Love with Him Again? 14
Only at this moment did Ji Xiner see clearly that there was a bloody hole on King Cheng's chest, and blood was still oozing out of it.
She was shaking even more violently.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. It was Prince Cheng who forced me. It was Concubine Yi who wanted to harm me. It was Concubine Yi..."
She was about to argue, but a cold light flashed before her eyes, and a line of blood appeared on her neck.
"Bitch! Do you think I didn't hear what you said to that rebellious son? You schemed against my meritorious officials and even plotted against my kingdom! Humph, dream on!"
The old emperor showed no mercy to his sons, and Ji Xin'er was no exception. He kept stabbing the long sword in his hand straight into Ji Xin'er's heart.
Ji Xin'er fell down without even a sound.
After an unknown amount of time, someone came in and pulled her and King Cheng out. King Cheng was already dead, and Ji Xin'er was not far from dying.
A pair of rough hands stuffed a pill into her mouth.
When she regained consciousness, Ji Xin'er was curled up in a stinking swill bucket. She tried to stretch out her hands weakly, but could not move. The carriage staggered out of the palace. After an unknown amount of time, several hands pulled her up, stuffed her into a carriage, and headed for a farm.
News came from the palace that King Cheng fell into the river and drowned while drunk. Concubine Yi was devastated and fell ill.
As for the death of Concubine Wen, it was suppressed and kept secret. She died at the same time as Prince Cheng, which made it easy for people to guess what was going on. The old emperor didn't want others to think he was a cuckold.
The old emperor was not in good health, so he handed over the matter of rewarding merits to Prince Rong, which was a complete decentralization of power.
After several months of trekking, the army arrived at the imperial city.
Prince Rong led all the officials to the city gate, and the people from both sides surrounded the city gate tightly.
The Ministry of Rites also played the triumphal order at the city gate.
Ji Yanli was sitting behind General Wei, riding a tall horse with sharp edges on his black armor.
When he left, he was just a soldier mixed in the team. When he came back, he was covered in glory and his ears were filled with cheers that were louder and louder.
When his eyes met Prince Rong's, both pairs of black eyes were smiling.
After returning in triumph, they were rewarded according to their merits. General Wei was given the title of Marquis of Pingjin and six hundred households in Pingjin, and Ji Yanli was given the title of General of the Cavalry.
As for the title of Duke Zhenguo, Ji Yanli accepted it calmly. After all, they were all his sons, so why couldn't he inherit it?
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo stood in the courtyard, watching the familiar mansion transformed and welcoming a new owner. Although everything was so familiar, it made her feel strange.
Ji Yanli came back from the celebration banquet and told her the good news that Ji Xiner was gone while slightly drunk.
"I don't even know where her body was thrown. Wild dogs must have eaten it. After all, her death was truly ignominious."
Ji Yanli admired her collapse, despair and cursing, and strangled her neck mercilessly.
"What's wrong? Heartbroken? But wasn't it you who fed her the poison? Now that she's dead, you should be happy. Why are you pretending?"
"Want to die? But it's not that easy. My mother died unjustly. Do you think you can use your position as the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo to give her a grand funeral? Dream on!"
He ordered her to be locked up, her limbs tied up, her mouth stuffed with cotton cloth, and she was tied to the pillar of the house except for daily meals.
The next day, he took a carriage to the farm.
Ji Xiner had injured his heart meridian earlier, and then took drugs that overdrew his body. Then he was seriously injured again. At this moment, he was already dying and was just hanging on to his life.
She was thrown onto a haystack without even wiping off the blood on her body, and because she couldn't move, the area beneath her was also filthy and messy.
When Ji Yanli came, she tried hard to open her eyelids. The moment she saw Ji Yanli's face clearly, she murmured incoherently, wanting to say something.
"You want your second brother to save you?"
Ji Xiner blinked.
"Hey."
Ji Yanli shook his head: "Second brother rushed back just to watch you die. Why would he go to the trouble of saving you?"
Ji Xin'er looked at him dully, and it took her a long time to realize what he said.
“Ah…ah…two, two…”
She wanted to say something, but Ji Yanli interrupted her directly: "Alright, save your energy. I really can't understand a word you're saying."
"You had such a good start in your life, how did you end up like this? And your eldest brother is useless, too. He's always boasting. If he had any ability, he wouldn't have missed out on the credit that was handed to him. If you had a capable brother, with your status, who would dare to bully you?"
"This is all you'll have in your life. I've read some strange stories in Border Town magazines. They say some people die so unwillingly that God gives them a second chance. Some people can seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, but others remain as foolish as pigs, leading to an even harder life. You can try and see if you can open your eyes and go back to the past."
"But at the end of the book, it says that this new life is gained by consuming the good luck of future generations. After this new life ends, whether it's good or bad, you may be reborn as an animal, being slaughtered like meat on the chopping board for generations, or living in poverty and experiencing the suffering of the world. Well, when I think about it, having a new life doesn't seem so good."
"Of course, this is all nonsense, all lies. We only have one life, how can we possibly start over?"
Ji Yanli seemed to be joking, but Ji Xiner's eyes were wide open, his face was terrified, and he was trembling with fear.
Ji Yanli continued with a smile, "Oh, right, it's not that Second Brother wants you dead. The main thing is, you're poisoned and you don't have many months left to live. If you don't die now, the poison will take effect in a few months and it will be even more painful. Your whole body will bleed and pus will flow, and your face will be like that of an old lady who has run out of energy. Just think about it, others will think you're a monster."
Ji Xiner's eyes were empty, and Ji Yanli's mouth opened and closed, saying things that made her hair stand on end.
poisoning...
How could she be poisoned?
Ji Yanli quickly explained to her that there was no other way. If she didn't speak quickly, this person would die. By then, he wouldn't have finished what he wanted to say. Wouldn't that be a pity?
"Your mother gave it to you with her own hands. Do you remember? There's no such thing as a magic pill. You've been completely exhausted these past two years. Ever since your brother died, your mother has been hoping for your death. She killed your father herself, and then went to the palace to execute you. But before she did, she wanted you to do something for her."
"Well, now that you put it that way, your life has been truly pathetic."
"Don't be afraid, this isn't the end yet. After you die, I'll throw you into the woods and let wild dogs snatch you up for food. That way, you've made some contribution, and your life wasn't in vain."
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
Ji Xin'er roared with a ferocious look on her face. She struggled to crawl out. Ji Yanli did not stop her. Instead, he kindly opened the door. The sunlight outside was just right and shone in, dispelling the shadows inside.
Ji Xiner crawled quickly a few times, and when he was about to touch the light, his whole body trembled a few times and he died.
Her eyes were still fixed on the outside, and she died with her eyes open.
Ji Yanli walked out and said calmly: "Burn it."
