Chapter 1351 - 1431: I Want to Leave, I Want to See Her
The first fear is that Dong Huiying might favor Ji Jiuhuang, blame herself for using Ji Jiuhuang’s Phoenix Blood, feel disappointed in herself, and distance herself from her. The second fear is that Dong Huiying’s kindness and indecision might make her confused about such significant matters, and that she might rashly sacrifice herself. She has given enough for this country and doesn’t want to see Dong Huiying die due to misguided loyalty.
"Yun Ge, help me unlock this!" Dong Huiying shook the iron ring that locked her as she signaled to Yun Ge. Ever since she entered the palace, she had been shackled and her activities restricted, but she never cared about it before. But now... "I want to go out, I need to meet her."
Yun Ge’s eyes turned red, "You..."
"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything foolish." She’s not that selfless. How should I put it? Life is extremely important. Fortunately, so far Yun Ge has only been putting human blood into the soup medicine instead of cutting human flesh for her to eat. So even though it feels a bit unsettling, she can somewhat bear it. Moreover, Yun Ge’s concerns are justified. That Dong Dabao who was once utterly loyal to Ji Jiuhuang might indeed do something as self-sacrificing, but the problem is that the core is different.
Dong Huiying, this core, although her memories contain Ji Jiuhuang’s identity, it’s not significant. Although due to this body, she is influenced by Dong Dabao and naturally develops some feelings towards some people from her past. However, strictly speaking, Ji Jiuhuang isn’t considered a stranger, yet she is nearly a stranger.
In her heart, the scale balances herself on one side, and almost-unknown Ji Jiuhuang on the other. Which side she will favor is something very obvious.
But that’s not the point. The point is Ji Jiuhuang’s whole bloodline. Ji Jiuhuang’s blood can cure her resurgence, meaning that the road before her is not a dead end. Methods are created by people. As long as she gets a spark of inspiration, she can change her destiny against all odds! Not to mention, Ji Jiuhuang’s existence isn’t just a fleeting inspiration but a living example, her lifeline!
At Dong Huiying’s request, Yun Ge, with a pale face, took out a key, tremblingly helped Dong Huiying unlock the iron ring. Although Dong Huiying reassured her not to worry, saying she wouldn’t do anything foolish, Yun Ge knew the person who once tested poison on herself was long gone. With such a ’track record’, she didn’t trust Dong Huiying completely, fearing she might do something silly. Yet, feeling guilty and lacking confidence, she couldn’t refuse Dong Huiying and didn’t even dare to meet her eyes. In the end, she wasn’t as justified as she showed.
She knew what she did wasn’t anything righteous, and no matter how many excuses she found for herself, she couldn’t cover up this fact. She wasn’t standing on a moral high ground. Yet in her heart, for the sake of the Purple Chervil, even if stained with blood and committing countless murders, it wouldn’t matter.
She was willing to be this villain, willing to do these bad things. She knows right from wrong, and if possible, she wouldn’t want to resort to this. But she wishes she stays alive even more, hoping Dong Huiying can also live healthily.
In the soup medicine that Dong Huiying drank these past few days, there wasn’t just Ji Jiuhuang’s blood but also added sedatives. She was already drowsy due to the resurgence, and along with the sedatives, she was in a daze most of the time, rarely fully awake.
After gaining freedom, Dong Huiying slowly moved off the bed, Yun Ge hurried to support her arm. "I’ll help you!" Yun Ge’s voice was tinged with a nasal sound.
