Disaster For the Country · Return Journey - Chapter 24.1

Inner strength is full of strength.

Yishu then turned around and prepared to go back to the palace. When he came to the carriage, the driver jumped off the shaft and knelt on the ground when he saw her from a distance, and the guards beside him also kowtowed in unison. She put her foot on the coachman’s back, and when the guards helped her into the carriage, she saw a wheelbarrow at the other end of the street. Four or five hundred catties. A thin and stooped woman struggled to push the car to the door of a restaurant.

It was late at night, and the surrounding shops were closed. The owner of the restaurant stood at the door with a lantern in his hand, and scolded her when he saw her, “Why is it so late?”

The woman quickly explained that the mountain road was slippery, and there was a delay when entering the city gate. Start unloading while explaining.

Yishu noticed that one of her feet was still lame, and her small body was carrying a wine jar half the height of a person, and she struggled to send it inside.

The owner of the restaurant was still scolding her, he didn’t mean to help her at all, and said that she was delaying the business and would deduct the price of the wine. The woman laughed with her good-naturedly. After finally finishing the unloading, she took the purse thrown by the owner of the restaurant and counted it, with a stinging expression on her face, but in the end she left without saying anything, pushing the wheelbarrow.

Yishu looked away, only to see that his feet were still on the coachman’s back. So she continued to get in the car.

The luxurious carriage drove slowly across the long street, and she saw from the window that the lame woman found a corner, spread out the straw mat and curled up beside the car to sleep. A few beggars in the distance winked, as if they were going to walk towards her.

Then the carriage turned a corner and was out of sight.

Yishu grabbed the tassels on the couch with his hand, and suddenly said, “Turn around, go back.”

The carriage turned back down the street, and she saw the woman again. As she expected, the beggars surrounded her, she struggled to beg for mercy, but refused to hand over the purse, so they began to tear her clothes, and she bit one of the beggars on the neck…

Then, as the carriage moved forward, nothing could be seen again.

Yishu withdrew his gaze, landed on his hand, and suddenly sneered.

She didn’t go back to save the woman. Although that is just easy work for her. However, since no one came to save her back then, she would not save anyone.

She just ordered the driver to drive the car back to Ji Ying’s temporary residence, and knocked on the door of that family again.

When Zhu Long came to open the door, he didn’t seem to be surprised at all, and quietly led her to see Ji Ying. Ji Ying was sitting in the yard, looking at the moon. Yishu even noticed that he was wearing a red wrench on his left thumb. He just stroked the wrench lightly while looking at the moon. The way he sits quietly is so beautiful, the moonlight shines on his white clothes, making a jade-like soft light.

Then Ji Ying turned his gaze to her.

Then she knelt down and said, “I choose the throne.”

In fact, think about it, how can there be freedom in this world? Dirty and ugly things happen everywhere. At least, as a princess, she never worried about her livelihood. Since they will also be humiliated, it is better to step on others’ backs to be humiliated than to be stepped on.

I want to be emperor!

I want to get rid of Ruyi Gate!

I want to trample all those who have bullied me under their feet!

I want no one to manipulate me anymore, I want to do whatever I want, I want to be above all people and no one is below me, that is the real freedom!

Yishu made a fate-changing choice on that seemingly ordinary but actually extraordinary night.

And that night, there was a lame woman’s corpse in a certain deep alley in Luwan City.

Yishu’s carriage passed by the deep alley again, and Yishu watched the woman die from the window, still holding the money bag tightly in her hand. The bag was torn and the money inside was taken.

The beggars were happily preparing to share the time with the money, when suddenly there was a figure in front of them.

They looked up and saw a very beautiful woman. The woman smiled at them, and then, with a gun, pierced their throats.

Later she thought, Ji Ying actually knew that she would choose the throne a long time ago.

Between freedom and the throne, someone may choose freedom, but that person is definitely not her.

Birds raised in cages with fine clothes and fine food will yearn for the blue sky outside, but after opening the cages, they can’t wait to return to the cages after they fly out, because they have no way to survive outside.

Even so, Yishu is still grateful to Ji Ying, because Ji Ying didn’t lie to her like Ruyimen did. He really made her a queen, and he really let go of it, and didn’t take the opportunity to blackmail her. What’s more, he died soon after. Death made him seem even more perfect. He became the softest existence in Yishu’s heart.

“Although I really want to see Jiang Chenyu’s loss, but…Xue Cai is the son’s servant, his painstaking efforts, and his heir. For the sake of the son, I decided to let him live.” Yi Shu said As he spoke, he reached out and wiped the sand table.

Yuan Su looked up at her, but finally said nothing.
