Chapter 96 Intentional Protection
Hearing this, Ji Yunhuan raised his head and glared at Pei Han with a vicious look.
Damn old bitch!
How dare you go against me like this!
Outrageous!
I will never let her have an easy time after I get away from this!
Ji Yunhuan looked up at the empress sitting on the throne and tried to persuade her with sisterly love.
"Your Majesty, no... My sister, Pei Yu is dying. How can my son, who is of noble status, go to bring good luck?"
"Besides, Ze'er is still so young. He is your nephew. How can you bear to let him marry Pei Yu, that sickly woman? If Pei Yu dies, won't Ze'er be a widow for the rest of his life?"
Suddenly, a cold and violent voice came from the side: "Then should I let my king go?"
Ji Yunhuan was stunned, his body stiffened slightly, and he looked up sideways.
She saw Di Ran standing beside her, very close to her, and the icy cold aura on his body made her feel chilled.
She was looking at her disdainfully, her cold eyes filled with gloom and cruelty: "King Zhan is reluctant to part with the Second Young Master, so he wants to let my Prince take his place?"
"The Second Young Master of the War King is a human being, but is this the future King of the King not one? How can I let you trample on him and abandon him so casually?!"
Thinking of her Xiaojiu's miserable and dying appearance, and the suffering he had endured during the time she was away from the palace, she wished she could kill the man in front of her!
The cold and murderous intent that flashed in Di Ran's eyes made Ji Yunhuan's eyes widen in shock.
she……
She...actually wanted to kill her? !
Ji Yunhuan shook his head in fear, trying to explain: "No...I didn't..."
Di Ran suppressed the anger in his heart, withdrew his gaze with disgust, flicked his sleeves and said coldly.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to explain. This king can see and hear it clearly!"
The empress looked at the undercurrent below, her phoenix eyes glanced at Emperor Ran, and she narrowed her eyes slightly before speaking appropriately.
"In this matter, the War King went too far..."
"Sister Royal~"
Ji Yunhuan looked up in disbelief.
Ji Yao looked very disappointed with her and glared at her. "Look at what you have done!"
"If you hadn't been confused for a moment, there wouldn't have been such a farce! I think you've been a prince for too long!"
Hearing that Ji Yao seemed to be intending to destroy her, Ji Yunhuan became a little agitated.
"Royal sister, you..."
However, the empress changed her tone and said, "However, I am concerned that this is your first offense."
"So, I will fine you half a year's salary. It just so happens that the magistrate of Nanping County has passed away, so you can take over. When you have made achievements, I will let you come back."
The empress's words clearly showed her intention to protect the King of War, which made Pei Han feel disappointed and unwilling.
The King of War committed such a mistake, but the Empress just brushed it off?
She had fallen out with the King of War and even offended others for this, and this is the explanation the empress gave her?
Pei Han's face darkened slightly, feeling unwilling.
"what?!"
Ji Yunhuan's face changed when he heard the empress's words. He looked up at Ji Yao with an angry look on his face.
"You want me, a great prince, to condescend to be a mere county magistrate?!"
Ji Yao narrowed her sharp eyes: "Why? You don't want to?"
Ji Yunhuan was touched by the warning look and said with dissatisfaction, "This official is too low. I am still a prince after all. How can I..."
The empress glared at Ji Yunhuan and said coldly: "If you don't want to be a county magistrate, then go to guard the southwest border."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunhuan opened his eyes wide and said quickly: "No, I'd better become the county magistrate!"
Go to garrison the southwestern border?
What a joke!
Isn't this just sending her to her death?
The barbarians in the south often cause disturbances, and the State of Jin in the west is eyeing the country covetously.
Although she had some strength and martial arts skills, she was still a little timid when facing two fierce and powerful countries.
"Then it's settled."
A trace of contempt flashed across Ji Yao's eyes, and when she glanced at Di Ran, the same thought from before became active again.
