"With Gao Yuanzhu dead, the clues are gone." Ji Botong punched the wall hard, creating a spiderweb-like depression with one punch.
He knew that his father was probably behind this incident.
But he couldn't find any evidence and didn't know what his father was going to do.
He knew that there was something wrong with the Immortal Body, and he also knew that the ancestor worship ceremony in a few days would probably be extremely dangerous, but he didn't know why.
Why is there a problem in not destroying the body? What is the problem? Why is there danger in the ancestor worship ceremony? What kind of danger is there?
He even knew in advance that Ji Bochang's mother, Concubine An, was going to die suddenly, but he could do nothing to stop it, just like he couldn't prevent the death of his sister many years ago and the death of his mother some time ago.
And he wanted to ask the prince Ji Boying, and he knew that Ji Boying must know more than him.
But Ji Boying just didn't say anything, pretended to be confused, played tricks on him, perfunctory him, and even laughed at him.
Ji Botong's heart was full of turbulent waves, and he felt his chest was congested, as if someone was grabbing his heart and squeezing it.
"Get out!" he scolded his men angrily.
The men panicked and hurriedly left the room.
Ji Botong bent over and covered his heart, as if he was suffering from extreme pain.
After taking a breath, he suddenly sat upright, the pain and anger on his face disappeared without a trace.
There was no one in the room, and he didn't know who he was talking to. His voice was hoarse but delicate, and it also contained countless complaints:
"Brother, you are so useless..."
The next moment, the complaint turned into panic and despair:
"Tong'er is wrong, please let Tong'er go. Tong'er hurts so much, Tong'er..."
Ji Botong's face was distorted. He punched the wall with his fists, and his fists were stained with red blood.
There was a knock on the door that his subordinates had originally brought with them when they left:
"Your Highness, the prince has sent a letter."
Ji Botong punched himself hard in the face, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He gasped heavily and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth:
"Come in!"
The door was pushed open, the man lowered his head, looked at his toes, and held a piece of white paper in his hand.
Ji Botong grabbed the white paper, which burned in his hands.
This is the unique way of contact between him and the prince. Unless the two of them sign it in person, the white paper will turn into ashes after being burned.
And if two people open it in person, they can read the unique content.
[Tong'er, do you still remember Tong'er's death? 】
Just the first sentence made Ji Botong tremble all over, and he glared at his men fiercely.
Sensing the killing intent, his men hurriedly retreated and closed the door again.
Ji Botong then read the following words.
【In troubled times, the time is coming.
No matter what kind of rift there is between you and me, we should let it go.
The deaths of Tong'er, Imperial Concubine and An Fei are not the end.
You can no longer do nothing like you did back then!
You know what they died for, but do you know what’s behind that why?
...
...]
Ji Botong read all the information carefully, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching. He finally knew the why hidden under the why.
It turns out that this is the immortal body of the Ji family!
It turns out that this is the ancestor worship ceremony!
It turns out that this is their father!
Ji Botong's eyes were red and misty.
On that dark night many years ago, he saw his sister Tongtong in agony and finally died, but he was so frightened that he did nothing.
When he reacted, Tongtong was dead, and his soul quickly escaped at a strange speed. He desperately kept the last bit of Tongtong's soul and integrated it into his body to warm it up.
Over the years, the remaining soul began to take over his body, causing him to suffer all the time.
Everyone in the imperial city said that the second prince was cruel, moody and crazy, but perhaps no one knew why except his eldest brother Ji Boying.
He can completely get rid of the remaining soul in his body and become a normal person.
But he never took action, he was willing, he was willing to live with his sister like this.
He was atoning for his cowardice all those years ago.
He will no longer be cowardly!
