Not long after Li Yu left, someone really came to bathe and change Jiang Yi, preparing to take him to see the Wei family. This was also the first time in so long that Jiang Yi was allowed to meet the Wei family.

This time, Jiang Yi cleaned up his body more carefully than usual. He put on a new moon-white gown and tied his hair carefully to ensure that all the unsightly marks on his body were covered by the robe. He took a breath and stepped out of the door.

Now the Wei family is detained in the palace by Li Yu, and Fan Xuan is imprisoned. It is still unknown what his situation is. Li Yu has a handle on him. Jiang Yi cannot take risks for the Wei family and Fan Xuan, and can only compromise again and again.

Since Jiang Yi was placed under house arrest in the palace, this was the first time that he walked out of the courtyard where he was imprisoned.

The Chu Palace is extravagant, with treasure palaces and red towers rising from the ground every few steps. They are all majestic palaces, with green tiles and red roofs, carved beams and painted buildings, brackets and cornices everywhere, and royal courtyards

The layout is exquisite, with countless rare flowers and plants and towering ancient cypresses, and the ingenuity is evident everywhere. Even though the palace has changed hands and the world has changed outside, there is no sign of depression here.

Jiang Yi's feet were still shackled, and he was walking along the gorgeous royal garden path, making harsh sounds along the way, which seemed to be out of tune with the surroundings.

The wide-sleeved robe he is wearing is a style specially prepared by the Wu Kingdom's harem for male bedfellows. It is made of fine silk. The collar and cuffs are embroidered with silver moiré piping. There is no belt around the waist. In order to facilitate the enjoyment of superiors, this dress itself is an insult to a generation of battlefield heroes, but Jiang Yi has a temperament that cannot be underestimated. Although his body is thin, his waist is very straight, and his whole body It looks like pine and bamboo, spotless.

Along the way, many palace people passing by looked sideways at Jiang Yi and his party, some with sarcasm, some with pure curiosity, and the bold ones had already started whispering to each other, as if they were watching a good show. play. And all this, Jiang Yi has always turned a blind eye and kept looking straight ahead.

Jiang Yi followed the palace people to a courtyard deep in the bamboo forest. The people there seemed to have received instructions in advance. After meeting Jiang Yi and his party, they took the lead and said: "Old lady Wei is chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall. This servant is here. Go pass it on."

Li Yu didn't lie. The place where he placed the Wei family was indeed good. The courtyard looked quiet and elegant. I guess Li Yu didn't mean to be harsh on the Wei family in life, except that he couldn't give her freedom.

Jiang Yi was waiting outside the red-lacquered courtyard gate. For a moment, his expression was no longer as calm as before.

His calmness is his protective color. The more adversity he encounters, the more he needs to keep his emotions from collapsing. This is a string that has always been tight in his heart. Only in this way can he find a way out among many difficulties. To avoid a collapse, Jiang Yi's calmness seems to be less flawless when facing the people closest to him.

Ji Yun is his strong-willed man, but he will always be a child in front of his mother. He also has grievances and pains. He has nowhere to talk about his bitterness. What he desires most at this time is to meet Wei and get a comfort.

However, this wish was quickly and ruthlessly shattered - the palace official came out of the Buddhist hall and replied, saying: "Mrs. Wei said she didn't want to see guests, please go back."

Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly flickered. Trembling, the palace attendant who was guiding him had already taken the lead and asked: "Have you informed me clearly that it is Ji Gui who is here to visit?"

Jiang Yi's identity in the palace was unclear, and everyone was secretive about his past, so they could only call him He said "coward".

"I've made it clear, but Mrs. Wei said that she didn't see anyone." The man paused, glanced at Jiang Yi again, and then whispered: "Especially... the traitor who collaborated with the enemy and treason, and had no shame." 

The palace man was shocked: "How can you say this!"

The person who sent the message was also frightened. Now that the Chu Kingdom has been destroyed, their king Li Yu is the master of this land. Where can the enemy come from? Where did the treason come from? If these words were spread to the ears of caring people, I'm afraid they would all lose their heads.

Jiang Yi felt a sharp pain in his heart. He expected that the Wei family might have already known that he was participating in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony as a minister of Li Yu. Although the ceremony was ruined midway, the fact that he had surrendered to Li Yu had become an indisputable fact. Therefore, Wei's rebuke is true.

So what about the fact that Li Yu treated him like a forbidden man and asked for it day and night? How much does Wei know?

Jiang Yi did not dare to think deeply, he only hoped that he could have the opportunity to meet the Wei family and apologize to the Wei family face to face.

Jiang Yi looked into the depths of the courtyard, and did not try to force his way in. He just silently opened his clothes, knelt on the cold stone road, and said loudly: "Mother refuses to forgive her son. Her son will be kneeling here until she can't afford it...until mother forgives me."

Before he came, he thought about the various actions that the Wei family would do to him. He had caused the Wei family to be put under house arrest by Li Yu, and he blamed himself to the extreme. The Wei family would not even beat or scold him. She complained, but she never expected that Wei didn't even want to see him. She must have been so disappointed in him that she made such a decision.

He knew that the Wei family had anger in her heart. The Wei family had a strong temperament. As the wife of a general, she was not inferior to men. Her husband and eldest son were both loyal and courageous. They fought to the end to defend the Chu Kingdom. , finally died on the battlefield and was shrouded in horse leather. After experiencing such pain, how could she accept that her youngest son surrendered to the enemy's king in order to protect herself? Then all the struggles her loved ones had made before, didn't they all become a joke?

She would rather die than see such a result.

The Wei family could put life and death at risk, but Jiang Yi couldn't. He couldn't just watch the Wei family fall into danger and put their lives on the line and ignore it.

He has no choice.

Jiang Yi didn't know at this time that Li Yu threatened the Wei family after putting her under house arrest, threatening hundreds of lives of her mother's family. He threatened that if she tried to take matters into her own hands again, her mother's family would be completely wiped out. The Wei family would not be able to survive. Afraid of offending the gods, one can accept the decision to commit suicide without reincarnation, but one cannot just watch his mother clan being brutally murdered. She is not afraid of death, and she doesn't want to see Jiang Yi be coerced by Li Yu because of her, but it is basically a dead end for her now, and she has no bargaining chips with Li Yu.

Jiang Yi knelt for a day. As night fell, the guards guarding Jiang Yi changed one after another. He always knelt outside the Wei family's courtyard gate without moving at all.

Wei's words were as heavy as a mountain to him. If Wei refused to forgive him for a moment, he would not get up for a moment. Even if he had the ability to break in and break in, he would not do that.

The weather was cool at night, but Jiang Yi's clothes were soaked through. There were big beads of sweat on his forehead, and his face was extremely pale.

He hadn't had enough food and water all day, and he had been kneeling for a long time, and his body began to tremble slightly. His body was already severely deficient, how could he withstand this kind of torture? I'm afraid it will reach its limit soon.

Seeing Jiang Yi's stubbornness, the palace servant who had previously sent a message to Jiang Yi stepped forward to persuade him: "It's better to invite Ji Guo back. The old lady has already made up her mind. I'm afraid she won't change her mind easily for a while. I will wait for another day." It's okay to come again."

Another day? If he missed this time, he might not have another chance.

Jiang Yi shook his head, but his eyes were firm, "I am guilty of a heavy crime, and it is my mother's duty to punish me. I will not leave." The palace man sighed, not knowing whether Jiang Yi's persistence could make the Wei family change his mind. .

System: [How pitiful I am, I've been kneeling all day and I'm still hungry! Is this mother too cruel?

Jiang Yi thought it was nothing, "Normal, I shocked this woman's outlook on life. It was polite for her to teach me a lesson with cold violence. " ]

Jiang Yi felt that it would be best if the Wei family did not see him, as it would save him from having to act out the vulgar drama of flesh and blood, [Besides, if she is too good to me, how can she highlight my misery? Then Li Yu's data is not easy to brush. At this time, the more unfortunate I am, the more I can arouse his protective desire. Help me check if Li Yu knows the situation here? 】

The system brought up the surveillance screen of the protagonist, 【He knew it as soon as you arrived. He has been asking people to keep an eye on your situation, and he has to report back every time he burns incense. ]

[Very good,] Jiang Yi looked at the items in his shopping cart and said: [Buy me this "a tragic heavy rain that shocked the world and made ghosts and gods cry." 】

System: 【Huh? 】The host wants to die again?

Jiang Yi: [It's hard to end up kneeling like this. I don't want to ruin my knees. Buy it. ]

System: [Okay! "A Heavy Rain of Tragedy That Shocks the Heavens and Weeps Ghosts and Gods" has been purchased for you, worth 15,000 currency, and your current balance is: 245,000 currency. 】

The sound in Jiang Yi's head had just ended, and suddenly there was a strong wind in the sky, and lightning and thunder began in the sky.

Jiang Yi's long hair and robes tied behind his head were blown wildly in the wind, and after a while, heavy rain came as expected.

Many palace people who were soaked in the rain screamed and looked for shelter from the rain. Only Jiang Yi always knelt upright in front of the Wei family's courtyard door, refusing to dodge. Soon, he was hit by the heavy rain. Watered thoroughly.

The rain seemed to be soaked in ice, hitting his face and body coldly, quickly blurring his vision. At first, he could hold his breath, but after a while, his body began to shake.

He clenched his fists tightly and dug his nails into his palms, using the pain to stimulate himself not to lose consciousness. Soon, he was so cold that his teeth chattered.

When Li Yu rushed to Wei's place, what he saw was this picture - the man's almost erect body was kneeling stubbornly on the ground in the cold rain, and he didn't know how long he would have to kneel down.

Li Yu felt his heart twisting, and suddenly he couldn't bear to see Jiang Yi ruining his body like this. He thought that the imperial doctor had said that this person's body had been destroyed to its foundation, and he was afraid that he might be vulnerable, and he actually felt a little worried.

Li Yu thought about it carefully. He probably didn't want Jiang Yi to die, at least not now.

Even if this man once stood in his way to dominate the south and blocked his steps, he was not incapable of understanding Jiang Yi's starting point. As ministers, each was his own master; even though Jiang Yi killed many Wu troops on the battlefield, he Now he has experienced the destruction of his country and his family, and witnessed the land he fought bloody hard for being taken over by the Wu people. In the end, he became a prisoner, and even had to spread his legs on the bed and be violated by himself - the man had already committed for him " Crime" paid a price.

Li Yu thought, if this person can be obedient in the future, he might as well keep him alive and let him stay in a place in the palace that only he can see, just like in a cage.

Like a canary.

If he still thinks that the price he paid is not painful enough to comfort the spirits of the dead soldiers, then let the man be imprisoned in this deep palace for the rest of his life, using his body and dignity to atone for his sins, and never be free.

[Ding, the protagonist Li Yu's favorability is +4, and his murderous intent is -4; his current favorability is: 74, and his murderous intent is: 16. 】

Li Yu was originally standing behind a bamboo forest and did not come forward immediately. The palace people behind him were also behind the bamboo forest. It was dark in the heavy rain, and their group was not noticed by Jiang Yi.

Just when Li Yu was about to step forward, a palace servant came out from the courtyard holding an umbrella and stopped in front of Jiang Yi, "Ji Guren, the old lady asked me to bring you a message."

Jiang Yi Yi was soaked in the rain at this time, no matter how embarrassed he was, he raised his head in the rain with a look of hope on his face.

Is Mr. Wei finally willing to see him?

The palace man bit his lip, as if he couldn't bear it, but finally said: "The old lady wants me to tell you: the Ji family cannot tolerate people who are shameless and serve the emperor, nor can they afford the 'favorite minister of the court'. From now on, I will sever the relationship between mother and son and have nothing to do with you. I will not worry about your life or death... Please go back as soon as possible."

After saying that, the palace man was cruel and sent Jiang Yi to the hospital. Closed behind the red painted door.

"Boom" a thunder exploded, Jiang Yi's thin body swayed in the rain, and finally fell into the stagnant water due to exhaustion, causing a small splash.

Wei's words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Jiang Yi. Previously, he had been lucky and hoped that Wei would not hear about his commitment to others. Now that he thought about it, he was too optimistic.

As long as someone in this palace is willing to let the Wei family know about this, what's the problem even if they are put under house arrest?

Jiang Yi felt like his heart was cut by a knife. It seemed that what he had done was beyond justice. It disgusted the Wei family so much that she wanted to sever the relationship between mother and son... How could he have the face to meet the loyal Ji family? The spirit in heaven?

He is clearly a disgrace to the Ji family. Otherwise, how could he be spurned by his closest relatives, and even his mother, who gave birth to him in ten months of pregnancy, would treat him like a shoe?

Jiang Yi felt cold all over, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

One of his legs had long since lost consciousness, and the consciousness he had been holding on to had gradually faded under the wash of the rain...

He seemed to see that he had become a wandering soul, with nowhere to go, no one to accept him, and some It was just endless scolding and curses, scolding him that he was only worthy of being a lonely ghost and not worthy of the next life...

Jiang Yi suddenly felt a little tired. He had worked too hard and he wanted to give up.

Since there is no place for him in this world, why not just return to dust and return to dust? Anyway, no one cares about whether he is dead or alive.

In an instant, the tight string in Jiang Yi's mind suddenly broke. He could no longer find the strength to convince himself that there was still hope for the future. He let out a breath and relaxed all over.

"Ji Yun, wake up, don't sleep."

When Jiang Yi was unconscious, he suddenly felt a lightness in his body, and then he was pulled into a dry and warm embrace.

He heard someone calling his name. The voice was full of majesty, yet gentle. In a daze, he tried his best to open his eyes, trying to see who it was, but he could only open a slight gap. , and then lost strength again.

[Ding, the protagonist Li Yu's favorability is +2, and his murderous intent is -3; his current favorability is: 76, and his murderous intent is 13. ]
