Chapter 1350 - 1430: Seizing the Initiative
Prince Meng’s unexpected accusation caught Yun Ge off guard, and Dong Huiying’s pupils constricted. Human blood, the soup medicine she drank daily was made from human blood? She drank the blood of the Ninth Princess, Ji Jiuhuang?
"Don’t listen to her nonsense!" Yun Ge anxiously argued, "That’s not human blood, Prince Meng is just joking with you..." She wanted to muddle through, but Prince Meng glanced at her coldly, "Not human blood? Yun Ge, at this point, do you still want to quibble? Do you really need me to call someone to bring the Ninth Sister, let Dong Baowei see the wounds on her body before you’ll relent?"
"Ji Liuye (Prince Meng’s name)!!" Yun Ge was so angry her face turned red, "Shut up! Purple chervil contributed to the country, how many merits did she achieve back then? Without him, the Dajin Cavalry would have long broken through Dayuan’s border defense. Ji Jiuhuang’s status is prestigious, and to protect her, you turned a blind eye to death, is this how the royal descendants treat their meritorious subjects? Only you Ji family royal people are human, others are just animals, destined to die fighting for you, enslaved by you, opening up territories for you? Why!"
Yun Ge was quite unsettled, seemingly at the end of her rope. Prince Meng looked back at Yun Ge indifferently, "You are still deluded! Do you know that what you did alone is enough for you to die a thousand times! Since you know Ji is the royal surname, you should know that this entire world belongs to the Ji family, not to mention the people living here! No country, no home, Dong Baowei indeed has made many contributions, but didn’t she also receive many rewards? She took what she deserved, and the sweat she shed was not in vain!"
"Spits!" Yun Ge was furious, "Rewards? Damn your rewards! When Purple chervil left the capital back then, she didn’t take anything but several taels of silver. Those she left in the capital, including me, suffered persecution by the royal family! Is this what you call rewards? Is your so-called reward forcing Purple chervil’s subordinates to live a life worse than death? How dare you mention this!"
"Don’t shift the argument, that was Lao Ba’s doing!"
"Isn’t Ji Laoba one of the Ji? Turning black and white as you please, in your heart, people of the Ji family are superior, you were born different, others working for you is expected, others cutting your flesh is unforgivable! I’m telling you, Ji Laoliu, don’t push me, if you really push me, do you think I’m afraid of you? At worst, we all perish together, mutual destruction!"
"You—!"
Seeing the two about to quarrel again, Dong Huiying pressed her throbbing temples, "I say, can you two call a truce first?" Her expression was rather helpless.
Yun Ge closed her mouth angrily, walked towards Dong Huiying with a cold face, "Don’t act foolish, what about human blood? As long as we can survive, even human blood must be drunk! Think of the man in your family, think of your children, Liang Yuening is still carrying one, soon to be born, can you bear it?"
Yun Ge was extremely anxious, her greatest fear was Dong Huiying caving to her inner guilt, or hesitating out of pity for Ji Jiuhuang or something... To hell with it, she didn’t care! Even if there’s only the slightest chance, let alone just killing a Ji Jiuhuang, she’d even kill that severely comatose old Majesty!
Yun Ge had already gone mad, whether from anger or some other reason, but her emotions were extremely agitated and irritable.
In fact, her preemptive strike was also because she was scared.
