Chapter 141: Betrayal
Xiaoyue City, East Warm Pavilion.
Ke Yu was sitting in a wheelchair, closing his eyes in the sunlight outside the hall.
Wanyi knelt in front of him, throwing the unused Jing Zhongsan that had been searched out at her side, and behind her stood a waiter with a long whip in his hand.
"You've been with me for five years." Ke Yu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the maid kneeling in front of him, trembling, and felt an indescribable uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
Wanyi was an orphan girl he met outside the palace five years ago, when he saw her being bullied, he felt pity, so he rescued her and brought her back to the palace to be his maid.
When he first brought Wanyi back, Wanyi was just a child no taller than his chest, he didn't know anything, he didn't know anything, but he had a loyal heart, regarded him as his master, thought about him in everything, and never disobeyed him.
Five years have flown by, and Wanyi has unknowingly grown into a big palace maid who can take charge of himself, but he doesn't know when, contrary to him.
Yes, what else in this world cannot be abandoned and betrayed? Even her biological father has abandoned herself, how can a palace maid guard her own waste?
"Who instructed you to poison me?" Ke Yu's tone was gentle, as if he didn't blame Wanyi.
"Young City Lord...... The slave and maid have a hard time, and the young city lord spares his life! Wanyi hurriedly knelt down, her forehead touching the ground, and tears wet the ground.
"I won't kill you, as long as you tell me, who ordered you?" Ke Yu's fingers bent slightly, knocking on the armrest of the wheelchair again and again, the sound was muffled, as if knocking on people's hearts, and it hurt again and again.
"Young city master, the slave and maid can't say it, the slave and maid have a hard time...... Wanyi burst into tears, her forehead was red, and she was slightly bleeding.
"If you don't want to say it, let me guess, it's Ke Yi, right?" Ke Yu said, "I'm already crippled, and my father no longer values me, now that Ke Yi has taken over the affairs of Xiaoyue City, he will be the future city lord, you choose between me and him, I don't blame you." ”
“…… Slaves and maids should be damned! Slaves deserve to die...... The slave and maid really didn't know that the medicine would kill her, and the slave thought that what he said was true, and that the medicine would only weaken the main body of Shaocheng, and would not hurt her life......" Wanyi slammed her forehead on the ground, as if she was atoning for her sins, and she refused to let herself go.
"Wanyi, would you like to go to your father and give me a testimony?" Ke Yu said.
"Young city lord, let the slave go...... Slave beg you, let the slave go. When Wanyi heard this, her heart was even more desperate.
"Just to repay my life-saving kindness to you back then, Wanyi, I have nothing to ask for, only to ask my father to look at me with his eyes, only you can help me in this matter." Ke Yu sighed lightly and almost pleaded, "After this incident, I will send you out of Xiaoyue City to ensure that Ke Yi will not find you, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life." ”
After a long time, Wanyi finally raised her head, her forehead had been broken, and bright red blood flowed down the bridge of Wanyi's nose, and finally dripped on the ground and merged with tears, "...... Young city lord, Wanyi owes you something, and she should pay it back to you. It's just that the young city lord can really send the slave and maid away? The slave just wants to live......"
"Naturally, although I, the young city lord, have no real name, my maid can still shelter me." Ke Yu promised.
"The slave and maid thank the young city lord, the slave and maid are willing to be a witness for the young city lord and identify Ke Yi." Wanyi gritted her teeth.
Ke Yu nodded, and immediately ordered the waiter to push him, and at the same time took Wanyi to Ke Zhifeng's dormitory Dezheng Hall.
The scenery in the imperial garden is beautiful, but Ke Yu has no mood to appreciate it, he just wants to rush to the Dezheng Hall as soon as possible and explain the whole thing to his father, so that his father can see Ke Yi's personality clearly, and let his father know that he is the successor city lord who is worthy of paying the heavy responsibility.
Going out from the East Warm Pavilion, halfway through the road, he bumped into Ke Yi and his party head-on. Wanyi, who was following behind Ke Yu, trembled instantly and paused.
"Big brother, where are you going? I'm really busy these days, and I just heard that my father lifted the ban on my eldest brother, and I was about to visit my eldest brother, so I ran into it, and our brother is really fateful. Ji Qing wore a mask, and the warm smile on his face was always strange and indescribable.
"You are Ke Yi? My second brother who lives in the people? Ke Yu saw Ke Yi for the first time, and when he saw his face, he felt familiar, and after careful observation, he suddenly realized that his face was born seven points similar to his father, "I was just going to say goodbye to my father, why don't you go with me?" ”
"It's fine." Ji Qing's eyes swept over Wanyi at the back of the wheelchair, as if she had a knife, and it made people shudder, "Come, big brother, I'll push you." ”
Ji Qing stepped forward, patted Ke Yu's shoulder warmly, took the wheelchair from the waiter's hand, and pushed it forward steadily.
"This can't be helped, my father loves the second brother the most, I, the eldest brother, how can I let the second brother push me? Let the maid come. Ke Yuyi grabbed the wheel on his side and forcibly restrained Ji Qing's movements.
"Why should the eldest brother be polite to me, I am the younger brother, and it is within my duty to take care of the eldest brother." Ji Qing said, "Big brother won't let me push, but he dislikes me for being from a humble background?" ”
"Wherever the second brother speaks, he is his father's child, how can there be anything low or low, I just don't want the second brother to do these things that his subordinates do, so as not to make my father feel distressed." Ke Yu said.
"Father is naturally willing to see our brothers in harmony, regardless of you and me, the eldest brother will let go of his worries and let me come." Ji Qing leaned forward, put his hand on Ke Yu's hand holding the wheel, and with a slight force, he pressed Ke Yu's tiger mouth and pulled his hand off the wheelchair.
“…… You! Ke Yu obviously didn't expect that this fledgling kid would directly provoke a hostile relationship with him like this, he turned around angrily and faced Ji Qing with a sneer.
"Big brother, I naturally feel sorry for you, and I don't want you to be tired." After Ji Qing finished speaking, he let go of Ke Yu's hand, straightened up, and pushed the wheelchair forward.
"You're afraid I'll expose you, that's why you're here." Ke Yu said coldly.
"Big brother, I haven't done anything bad, my heart is very open, there's nothing to be afraid of." Ji Qing said with a smile.
"Then let's wait and see!" Ke Yu snorted coldly, not seeing the disdain on Ji Qing's face.
Half an hour later, the two stopped outside the main hall of De and waited for the transmission, and Ke Zhifeng in the hall heard that Ke Yi was coming, and immediately went out of the palace to greet him. Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, "It's Yi'er who is here, you don't have to spread it in the future, just come in directly, here for the father, there are not so many rules!" ”
"Father, the child has already recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, how can he not follow the rules? The child knows that the father feels sorry for the child, but the rules must be followed. Ji Qing saw Ke Zhifeng personally coming out of the hall, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Yi'er who is a father is sensible, so that the father can rest assured. These days, my father heard that you have been busy with political affairs and have slept late. Yi'er, pay attention to rest and don't overwork. Ke Zhifeng looked Ji Qing up and down, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
"Father." Ke Yu has been receiving a cold reception on the side, the warmth between father and son, as if nothing happened to him, Ke Yu only felt that his heart was blocked by a boulder, and he was in heavy pain.
"Oh, Yu'er is here too." Ke Zhifeng glanced at Ke Yu when he heard the sound, and the smile on his face gradually stiffened.
Ke Yu felt heartache because of his father's indifferent and detached attitude, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he could only suppress the discomfort in his heart, and bowed in his wheelchair, "Father, the child has something to repay." ”
"Let's go in and talk." Ke Zhifeng flicked his sleeves and took the lead in stepping into the main hall.
"How is the eldest brother going to get in, I'm afraid this wheelchair can't be pushed in." Ji Qing said with concern, "Do you need me to call someone to come and work together to carry the eldest brother in?" ”
"Not necessarily!" Ke Yu couldn't hide the coldness in his tone, he asked the waiter behind him to come to crutches, put his armpits under his armpits and get up in a wheelchair.
"Big brother be careful." Ji Qing saw that Ke Yu was about to step into the main hall, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Let it go!" Ke Yu was annoyed by Fang Cai's matter, and subconsciously pushed Ji Qing's hand that was stretched out to support him, and went straight into the main hall.
Ke Zhifeng, who was on the main seat not far away, saw this scene in his eyes, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
"What do you have to tell me?" Ke Zhifeng seemed a little impatient, and he asked directly without waiting for Ke Yu to stand firm in the hall.
"Back to the father, the child was poisoned the day before yesterday, and the man bought the child's personal maid and added a poison called Jing Zhongsan to the child's bath water every day, intending to kill the child without knowing it!" Ke Yu lowered his eyes, and glanced at Wanyi, who was trembling behind him.
"What? Who is so bold? Ke Zhifeng was stunned for a moment, and then anger rose.
No matter how bad Ke Yu is, he is also the nominal young city lord of Xiaoyue City, and moving Ke Yu is provoking the majesty of Xiaoyue City and provoking the majesty of his Xiaoyue City Lord!
"Wanyi, who instructed you, even if you say it, your father will definitely not tolerate it!" Ke Yu said indignantly, his sharp eyes looked at Ji Qing, but he didn't see the fear he wanted to see in his eyes.
"City Lord ......" Wanyi subconsciously looked at Ji Qing, and met his eyes with warnings, and her body couldn't help but tremble.
"Say!" Ke Zhifeng said angrily, "Who instructed you to poison Yu'er!" ”
"The city lord spares his life!" After this roar, Wanyi was so frightened that she knelt on top of the hall with a "plop", and even called for mercy, her voice trembling fiercely.
"Tell me the truth!" Ke Zhifeng said.
“…… Be...... Is it ......" Wanyi stared at her hand propped up on the ground, Yu Guang saw Ji Qing walking towards her, her heart trembled, fear instantly occupied her mind, the three words "second son" seemed to be stuck in her throat and couldn't say anything, "It's the slave's own idea, no one forces the slave and the maid, no one instructs the slave and the maid, it's the slave's own idea!" The slave and maid don't dare anymore, the city lord spares his life! ”
"Wanyi, what are you talking about?" Ke Yu's complexion changed drastically, he hurriedly approached Wanyi on crutches, trying to control his emotions that were about to get out of control, "Wanyi, tell the truth, tell the truth!" What did you tell me? Wanyi! ”
"It's the slave's fault, it's the slave's ghost's mind, the lard is blinded, it's the slave's fault, no one instructs the slave's maid." Wanyi turned around and knelt down to Ke Yu, her tone full of remorse, "Young City Lord, I'm sorry, it's the slave who is sorry for you." ”
