YM778.TV Chapter 330 - ADD
Zhai Tianyu was going to leave without making the situation any worse than it already was when he heard the words that Ji Yu shouted from behind him, his legs came to an abrupt pause as he turned to look at Ji Yu and said, ” What did you say consort?”
” I said that will your decision be the same if I say that the Empress can be dethroned?” Ji Yu was even more agitated when she saw that Zhai Tianyu stopped when she mentioned Liu Hui Ying. He did not stop for her when she said that she was going to hate him forever and neither did he stop for her tears but he surely stopped a bit too fast when she mentioned the Queen.
Why? Why did he have to hurt her like this? She was the one who stayed by his side the longest even when he was alone and bullied by his peers, she stood by his side and saved him whenever she could —— so, why Liu Hui Ying?
Zhai Tianyu pursed his lips but he turned around and walked back to where Ji Yu was standing, he took a long breath and then said as he came to stop in front of her, ” You ..have you lost your mind, Ji Yu ?”
He was fine with her trying to force a kiss on him and he was fine when she said that she will hate him for the rest of her life, he even ignored her when she commanded him to bed her before the Queen even though he was the Emperor. If he was someone else he would have thrown her in the cold palace for overstepping her limits but she was his friend.
Someone who went thick and thin for him, she even saved his life when he was young. This was why he was willing to turn a blind eye to her actions, no matter how atrocious they were but this was simply stepping on his bottom line.
” Yes, I have lost my mind,” she giggled at him sounding as if she was really crazy. She took a step forward and then sneered with so much anger in her eyes that Zhai Tianyu did not even recognise the woman in front of him. Was this the same Ji Yu that he knew? He never thought that she was capable of making such an expression.
The woman in front of him stared at him with a wild look in her eyes as she gritted through her teeth, ” You are right, I have lost my mind! Have you ever thought about how long I have waited for you? You did not, right? And now after years of hard work, patience and holding on to hope, you are telling me what I did was nothing but useless?! If I don’t go crazy what will happen to me?”
With her chest heaving up and down, she scowled at his face and then stated, ” You said that the Liu family was a family of criminals, that they gave their souls to the devil, hearts to the demons and body to corruptions. That if there was another word for injustice then it was ‘Liu’, now you are falling for the woman who shares the same blood as them!”
.....
” Do you not see how unfair this is?” Breaking her eye contact with him, Ji Yu shifted her gaze to the flowers as she smiled at herself in self-condemnation and said mockingly, ” But what can I even say? You are blinded by the so-called love that you feel for the queen now. Forget about everything else, now you are even allowing the Liu family to commit atrocities right under your nose, your majesty!”
She raised her hand and then planted the tip of her forefinger on his chest and then said, ” You are even willing to give them a hand in their sins. They killed Brother Xianglan, you know it…I know it…and we all know it but you stayed silent and ignored the petitions that my father and brother submitted in the court for an investigation, do you not feel shame? Do you not feel guilty for walking on the same unfair and wrong path as that family? All for the name of love ?”
There was a long pause in which Zhai Tianyu silently stared at Ji Yu before he scoffed and turned his head to the side ignoring the affronted expression on Ji Yu’s face.
With his tongue out of his mouth a little he licked his front teeth as he nodded to himself and said, ” So this is what you thought of me huh? Excellent, I thought that at least you among all the Ji family members will understand why I was ignoring the petitions but looks like you were thinking the same as them.”
He turned his head to the left for just an inch and looked at the woman in front of him with a cold gaze, ” And you dare say that you love me, if you have loved me then you would have known that this had nothing to do with the queen or anyone else, the reason I ignored those petitions was because of you, Ji Yu! I did that for you!”
His words caused Ji Yu to frown as she looked at him in disbelief which made Zhai Tianyu’s heart sink even further. All these years what was he even doing? His grandmother, uncle and now even Ji Yu —— all of them, they were all distrustful of him even when he trusted them with all his heart and never considered them as traitors.
Sure enough, Liu Dong Ming was right when he called him the puppet emperor.
