Empress with no Virtue-Chapter 88

Chapter 88

MARCH 8, 2019 ~ LAMLAM1990

Ye Zhen Zhen eye’s opened.

It was as though the white scene previously appeared infront of her again.

Ji Wu Jiu died.. Ji Wu Jiu.. died…..Ji Wu Jiu is dead….

Ye Zhen Zhen curls her body up and starts whimpering in her own chest. It was as though as her whole world collapsed. Recently what have kept her sanity was always the news of his life or death. Suddenly, the news confirming in front of her, made her feel like she is all alone, and no longer wanting to live in this world.

No, Cannot. She must live on, to revenge for him. She must kill Ji Li You with her own hands.

Ye Zhen Zhen dries off her tears, sat up, and decided to first figure out where she was currently. The room was quite small, with small windows, wooded floor, and sounds of flowing water could be heard coming in from outside. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

Also, the whole world seems to be shaking?

Ye Zhen Zhen thought she was just feeling dizzy, but it seems that the shaking seems to have some sort of rhythm. Holding on to her forehead, she tries to stand up, but just when her feet touched the floor the world shook again, causing her to almost fall down. Luckily she managed to hold on to the table.

Ye Zhen Zhen walked out and what she saw was a lot of endless water.

Apparently she was on a boat. But.. “is this a river, why can’t i see the banks” She murmured to herself.

“This is the sea” Ji Li You walked over, and answered. Stopping next to her, and looked towards the sea. “You never see the sea before?”

Ye Zhen Zhen clenches her fist, while hatred grows in her eyes.

How should she kill him?

Ji Li You looked back at her and saw her hatred filled eyes. Unhappy he frowned, “Don’t be stupid, you won’t be able to kill me”

Ye Zhen Zhen didn’t want to talk to him nor see him. She walked back into the room and lays down on the bed. She was thinking about numerous ways to kill Ji Li You.

It’s weird, why hasn’t Ji Li You kill her yet? Does he want to keep her here to humiliate her?? This made Ye Zhen Zhen feel disgusted.

Sea, the vast ocean. Previously she seen it from afar before, and Ji Wu Jiu promised her to bring her to the beach to play, and to visit the marine army as well.

Wait!, Wait.. sea?!

Ye Zhen Zhen suddenly felt that something is not right. Although Da Qi has a smooth sea route, and has many business traders using them, but if Ji Li You wants to reach the Capital quick, using horse would definitely be faster, why did he choose ship?

Although if the winds are blowing at the right direction and speed, the ship would be quick too, but who can guarantee that the wind will blow everyday. Furthermore, the ship is definitely not as safe as using horse or carriage. Won’t he be afraid of any hurricane and drown him down into the sea?

There is definitely something wrong.

Why did he choose to avoid the land route?

There is someone investigating, checking very thoroughly at that, until he has no choice but to make himself disappear from the radar.

Then, on who’s order was the investigation under? Was it the ministry?

There is very little people that were aware of Ji Li You’s existence, even less people would know that he was the cause of the flood. So, even if the ministry has the power, they would be investigating one another and totally ignore Ji Li You.

Furthermore, if they knew of Ji Li You’s identity, putting him together with Tan Ji, it is more obvious that Ji Li You is more suitable to take over the throne. Now the leader of he ministers is Fang Xiu Qing, and Fang Xiu Qing hates Tan Ji, therefore if there was a choice, he would definitely choose Ji Li You, so why would he investigate him?

That is why, this order must have been made by Ji Wu Jiu! Ji Wu Jiu is still alive!

She was so happy that she jumped up from the bed, and accidently bumped her head on to the ceiling, and with a “dong” she was forced to lay back down on the bed.

Sitting on the bed, rubbing her forehead while making sure there was nothing wrong with her way of thoughts just now. It made total sense!

But something is still not right, those white clothes, royal mourn, what was that for? She saw it with her own eyes, there is no way Ji Li You has the power to bribe so many people. There is no way he could do such things so outrightly, there is still the local ministers guarding the area after all.

Previously, she appeared at that place out of nowhere, most probably she was drugged before being brought over there. Even so, if Ji Li You wanted her to see the national mourn, he could have just brought her to a nearby town, why bother bringing her there in such a fashion?

There is could only be one reason, the place that they were at did not have a mourn, but that place has.

Why?

Closing her eyes, she tries to think back on what she saw the other day on the top of the horse carriage. Besides white everywhere, the location of the place seems to be lower than the rest of the surrounding locations.

If a flood was met, then this type of place would definitely be inflicted. The people who died here would definitely be alot. Most probably each household there might be someone who passed away.

Which means, there is no such thing as a national mourn, it was white everywhere over there because many people was killed!

This answers all the questions. Ye Zhen Zhen was excited, she felt that all the veins in her body was jumping around, and her heart shaking non stop.

Ji Wu Jiu was still alived, not only was he alive but he was trying his best to tell the world that he was alive, to let her know that he was still alive. If not, if he pretended to be dead, and wait for Ji Li You to show up on his own would have been the best choice.

Ye Zhen Zhen’s eyes tears up, this silly guy, just to let her know that he was alive, he missed out on such a good opportunity.

No matter what, being alive is good enough, being alive means there is still a chance. Furthermore, Ji Li You is still rushing towards the capital on his own accord.

Laying back on the bed, she grabs the covers over her head and laughed. Most probably she laughed till she was out of breath, or perhaps the shaking of the ship made her feel nauseous, she couldn’t take it anymore and walked out shakily to vomit.

It was a horrible vomiting fit, till she completely lost her energy and even her gastric juice came out. She lay on to the deck to feel better from the blowing wind.

Ji Li You walked over, and passes her a cup of tea, and said, “First time travelling in the sea is like that, I had it worst than you last time”

Ye Zhen Zhen took the tea, drank it and passed it back to him. As a well educated noble lady, she said “thanks”

Putting down the tea cup, he passes her a peeled tangerine. The tangerine was sweet and sour, Ye Zhen Zhen slowly ate all of it, then only she felt better.

When she regained her energy, she stood up and went back towards her room. Never speaking a word to Ji Li You.

Sitting down, Ji Li You looked towards the sea and laughed bitterly.

The following days for Ye Zhen Zhen was horrible. She didn’t know that being seasick would be this bad. Indeed river boats and sea ships cannot be compared.

Although she gets a little sickish feeling while on a river boat, she has never felt this bad in her stomach, and could still eat and drink. But on this ship, no matter how much she ate, it call came back out. As long as there was something in her stomach, it would just come back out, and when her stomach is finally empty, she would still have to eat things back. Although she has no appetite, but not eating is not good for health, she didn’t want to kill herself after knowing that Ji Wu Jiu is still alive.

Hence Ye Zhen Zhen ends up at a stage where she eats, she vomits, she continues to eat and vomit life.

The only thing that could make her feel better was the tangerine that Ji Li You give her. From one a day, she evolved to eating 8 a day, seeing this made Ji Li You scared. Afraid that something might happen to her for eating too much tangerine, he only gives her 8 maximum per day.

Ye Zhen Zhen felt that it was definitely the tangerine’s help that she was still alive.

She vomited all the way to TianJin, where she can finally step on land. Ye Zhen Zhen was helped down the ship, she no longer has any energy to walk.

Ji Li You helped her up the horse carriage. Helped her and himself to change their appearance. Ye Zhen Zhen was turned into a old lady, and Ji Li You added a beard out of nowhere.

However, Ye Zhen Zhen knows that they would not head to the capital. Because Ji Wu Jiu was still alive, he will be sitting on the throne safely therefore the capital still was his territory. Even if Ji Wu Jiu opens his door to welcome this cousin brother of his, Ji Li You would still not go there without a plan.

As expected, they headed towards northwest direction for a day and stopped at Fang Shan. Ye Zhen Zhen was asleep through the day, and when she woke up the next day she felt a little dizzy, most probably the after effects of the seasickness. After breakfast she vomited another round, and after that she ate a tangerine to feel better.

Ji Li You brought her up towards Bai Hua Mountain, and got his followers to go buy some things.

Ye Zhen Zhen can’t helped but say, “You want to bury yourself here? Haven’t die already thinking about your afterlife, such forward thinking”

Ji Li You laughed.. “As long as he dares to come up, I will definitely make sure he would not be able to go down. “. “I mentioned this before, no matter the world or you, I want both”

What to do? What to do? Ye Zhen Zhen starts to ponders in her in circle, how will she be able to stop Ji Wu Jiu from coming up?

Ji Li You then asks, “since when did you realize that he was still alive?”

Ye Zhen Zhen rolls her eyes, “from the time you started to plan all this”

Ji Li You’s face darkens.

She added “Can you make it stand up now? Aiya.. looking at you, I highly doubt so.” She purposely said loudly, there were others around here, they would have definitely have heard it.

They were Ji Li You’s right handed men, and knew about Ji Wu Jiu’s problem, and now even Ji Li You was also facing this type of problem, it can’t be helped that they all sighed in their heart: no wonder the royal family has so few children, they all have this type of hereditary sickness……

“You just wait, you will definitely cry and beg me later” Ji Li You laughed.

Ye Zhen Zhen was surely not afraid of this threatening skill. She was only afraid that Ji Wu Jiu will fall into his trap. He just barely lived on from the flood, please don’t let him lose it here.

Ji Wu Jiu, didn’t you say that I was your lucky star, hopefully this time I could still bring you luck. Ye Zhen Zhen started praying to all the gods, from east to west, not even letting Mother Mary go……..
