Talking about this, she felt furious. She was tortured to the brink of death, almost to the point of losing her last breath, yet the soldiers in the prison wouldn’t even call a doctor for her.
They even said that staying alive was just a waste of food, better to die swiftly!
She must survive. Who knows, she might even return to the capital? Even if she were to die, she’d drag those who bullied her down into hell. Once back in the capital, she’d have the Yu Family send people to eliminate all those who wronged her.
"Ji’er, since it’s quiet now, take so rest." She didn’t want to say another word, her whole body was in pain, and all she wanted was to close her eyes and play dead.
The Fifteenth Prince glanced at the big prison, then at Consort Wen who had already closed her eyes, and dared not speak, shrinking into a corner.
He didn’t understand. Just a few days ago, he was still arrogantly snatching people and things on the streets, and now, suddenly, he was in such a place, being shouted and cursed at by a group of lowlifes.
But he could wait. Once the Emperor knew of his suffering, surely he would stand up for him. He only awaited the miserable fate of those who wronged him.
...
"Big Brother has sent a man nad Gong Jian over. Is that Gong Jian, Gong Cheng’s brother?"
An Jiuyue had just erged from the space, and when contacting the Emperor, she didn’t ask much. It was only afterward that she asked her husband.
"Gong Jian?"
Qian Jiyun, upon hearing the na, also looked up.
"He’s Gong Cheng’s big brother. For years, he’s been working for Big Brother. I haven’t seen him in many years too."
During the years when the Emperor was still the Crown Prince, Gong Jian was always helping him. He traveled to all corners of the world, and the days he spent in the capital each year could be counted on ten fingers.
"I didn’t expect him to co handle matters of the Northern Lands, but if he’s coming, I feel relieved."
"Big Brother also told sothing."
An Jiuyue poured herself a cup of tea, drank a sip, and looked at Qian Jiyun.
"He said Gong Jian has great ambitions and seems to want to go to Mist Dragon Mountain. Just as well, this ti, let him co to et us," she said.
There’s nothing particular about it. After all, who doesn’t have grand ambitions? Moreover, to others, Mist Dragon Mountain might be difficult to enter, but not for them.
"What do you think?"
Qian Jiyun shook his head, smiling lightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Gong Jian has been to Mist Dragon Mountain before. He possesses demonic energy. He can go anyti he wants, but... I don’t see a particular eagerness on his part to go there."
It’s also because Gong Jian is alone and unfamiliar with them. Going to Mist Dragon Mountain, a place mixed with diverse figures, could make survival difficult.
Of course, the most important thing is whether he wants to go or is willing to persevere. Once at Mist Dragon Mountain, naturally, they would beco one unit.
Lastly, there’s also Lady Gong, one of the reasons too.
"Hmm?"
An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows, puzzled.
Listening to Big Brother’s words, it seed he wanted her to help pull Gong Jian over, to let him undergo cultivation there. Yet, from Qian Jiyun’s words, it seed Gong Jian wasn’t keen on going?
"Between the two of you, whose words are correct?" she asked.
"Both are correct."
Qian Jiyun sat down and began peeling an orange.
"Co sit by my side, and I’ll explain slowly."
He beckoned to Jiuyue, gesturing for her to sit beside him. After handing her the peeled orange, he continued speaking.
