The originally warm atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
Concubine Li frowned and looked at Mo Jiecheng. The meaning of "you should deal with her quickly" could not be more obvious.
The eldest princess's face didn't look very good either, but she looked at Ji Wanrong, as if she was convinced that she was the one who handled this incident.
Ji Yunyao felt the unkind gazes of everyone, and her face changed from pitiful to anxious: "Sister, Yunyao knows that you have always disliked me, but Yunyao has a fatal problem with Brother Jiecheng now..."
"Please sister, please be accommodating. This is a life-saving matter. I will never say anything else to Brother Jiecheng."
Ji Yunyao said tremblingly, with tears still shining in her eyes. After saying this, she knelt directly in front of Ji Wanrong.
If someone who didn't know saw it, it would look like Ji Wanrong had persecuted her.
Since Ji Yunyao took the initiative to mention her, Ji Wanrong spoke.
She crossed her arms across her chest and looked down at Ji Yunyao who was kneeling on the ground, but there was no trace of pity in her eyes.
"Since you know that I don't like you, please change the direction and continue to kneel. It doesn't matter if you kneel in the dark, but don't face me."
"... As for you wanting to talk to Mo Jiecheng, do you want to say something in private that won't be revealed in front of all the elders? I will never agree. That mouth of yours will not only talk nonsense, but also talk nonsense. My dear, it’s really scary!”
As soon as Ji Wanrong spoke, Concubine Li couldn't hold herself any longer. She pretended to cough twice, and laughter lightly escaped from the gap between her lips.
Mo Jiecheng looked on, initially feeling nothing.
But seeing Ji Yunyao's face turn pale in an instant when she heard this, and she looked completely lost, his heart was tugged.
Because he suddenly thought of the time when Ji Yunyao saved his life in the suburbs of Beijing. Although he was blind at that time, his ears could hear her laughter all the time.
At that time, she was beautiful and full of joy, unlike now, lifeless, like a walking zombie.
Ji Yunyao hurriedly took a step forward and grabbed the hem of Mo Jiecheng's clothes: "Brother Jiecheng, you have forgotten the time when I saved you, how you promised..."
she said, tears welling up in her eyes.
Ji Wanrong couldn't stand her crying look the most. It reminded her of her mother-in-law, who also relied on this look to steal the original owner's mother.
She was unhappy, and naturally she couldn't see Ji Yunyao being happy, so she stepped forward and pulled the hem of Mo Jiecheng's clothes out of Ji Yunyao's hands.
"In front of me, what do you want him to remember? He doesn't even remember it. Don't be embarrassed in public, okay?"
Ji Wanrong knew that Mo Jiecheng didn't like Ji Yunyao now, so he spoke domineeringly every word, as if he was declaring sovereignty.
Princess Chuyang gave her a thumbs up secretly.
But Mo Jiecheng's voice sounded at this moment: "No, I remember, I remember that you almost lost your life, so you saved my life."
He just listened to Ji Wanrong's words and saw Ji Yunyao holding his wrist helplessly, and immediately thought of the scar on Ji Yunyao's wrist.
Mo Jiecheng's face gradually turned cold.
He felt that Ji Wanrong was challenging his proud self-esteem and bottom line by stretching his hand so long in front of the eldest princess and Concubine Hua that it was so long that it made the decision for him.
Ji Yunyao looked like something big had happened at the moment. If she refused again, she might even lose her life.
Ji Yunyao was the person who almost sacrificed her life to save him in the past, and now she still has a long scar on her left arm!
But Ji Wanrong showed no pity at all and even rejected her in public.
Mo Jiecheng felt that Ji Wanrong had changed, but in fact she was not compassionate.
Perhaps after knowing that he became the county leader, he changed and became a great person.
Wouldn't it be very shameful if, in front of the imperial aunt and aunt, they saw that she was being submissively controlled by Ji Wanrong, a poisonous woman?
Even the majesty of the former God of War is gone!
Thinking of this, Mo Jiecheng glanced at Ji Wanrong meaningfully, then took two steps forward and slowly helped Ji Yunyao, who was sobbing softly, up.
"Don't cry, I just want to talk to you. In order to save my life, you even lost your life, and I will always remember it. I don't even see her in my eyes, but she was just sealed by my father. If she becomes the head of a county, she cannot be the head of this king."
Although Mo Jiecheng said this to Ji Yunyao, the one he kept looking at was Ji Wanrong.
Seeing Ji Wanrong's cold face and a sarcastic and cold smile on his lips, Mo Jiecheng became even more angry.
He even reached out his hand to help Ji Yunyao, and then helped her limp out.
Mo Jiecheng's words were like insulting Ji Wanrong in front of all the palace maids and eunuchs.
Ji Wanrong did not expect that Mo Jiecheng would suddenly say such words. She pursed her lips and stared at the backs of Mo Jiecheng and Ji Yunyao.
The eyebrows of the eldest princess and Concubine Li were furrowed deeper than Hua Mei.
Just as the eldest princess was about to say something, Concubine Keli saw all the servants staring at Ji Wanrong and hurriedly stopped her.
"County Lord? Rong'er, your Majesty actually made you the County Lord? When did this happen? Why didn't I know about it? This is an unexpected surprise!"
Ji Wanrong lowered her eyes and did not look at Mo Jiecheng's back. She tried her best to ignore the unhappiness in her heart and looked at the eldest princess with a smile.
"Everything today is thanks to the eldest princess for inviting Master Jiuyun. Master Jiuyun said in front of your majesty that I am a blessed person, so your majesty took care of what I had done in the past and made me the county lord. This is really a shameless county master. If it weren’t for Master Jiuyun, I would have lost my life today.”
Concubine Li gave a small exclamation. After listening to Ji Wanrong's words, she realized the seriousness of the matter.
"I just thought it was a small matter of betting, but I didn't expect that it would involve your life. No one sent someone to tell me?"
"Although I am ill, everyone has kept it a secret from me! Even my sister didn't send someone to inform me! Otherwise, I would have dragged myself to save your life."
As Concubine Li spoke, she didn't know what she was thinking of, and her face gradually turned cold.
When the eldest princess saw that Concubine Li was speaking indiscriminately, she hurriedly said: "Perhaps the queen was worried that Concubine Li would be frightened during her illness, so she kept the matter a secret. King Han and King Chu are both their own children, and the queen has a loving mother's heart. Well intentioned.”
Concubine Li didn't speak, she just twitched her lips.
But Ji Wanrong seemed to see some irony in her expression.
Concubine Li seemed to realize that something was wrong with her expression, and then hurriedly changed the topic.
"By the way, Rong'er, I recently got a few boxes of scar-removing medicine. I have already tried it. It is indeed miraculous in removing scars."
"I remembered that you have a long scar on your hand. You can use this to remove the scar."
After Concubine Li said this, the eldest princess said in surprise: "There are actually scars on Wan Rong's hands?"
