Chapter 1197 - 943: Closing the Net 4
The entire Li Family has been captured.Their clan’s most mysterious elder has also been personally imprisoned in the Celestial Prison by Ji Youzhi.
To be precise, he is locked in a secret chamber within the Celestial Prison.
Ji Youze and the Emperor returned to the Palace, where Eunuch Ling was instructed to prepare some porridge and side dishes. The two of them ate some hot food to warm themselves.
When Ji Youzhi returned, the sky was gradually getting light.
Seeing the leftovers on the table, his face turned dark.
"You two..." He pointed at Ji Youze in anger, "Didn’t even think to leave some for me?"
Ji Youze ignored him, pretending not to see, and pointed to the sky outside, saying to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, look, the sky is almost bright."
The Emperor walked past him, "Is that so? I’ve been tired from reading lately and haven’t had a good look at the dawn outside for a long time. How about you accompany me to watch it later?"
"Sounds good to me!"
"You two... don’t you think you’re going a bit too far?"
Ji Youzhi looked at the cold porridge on the table, angry enough to slam the table.
Eunuch Ling led a little Palace Maid and little Eunuch in, carrying porridge and side dishes.
He smiled at Ji Youzhi, "Lord God Hunter, don’t be anxious, His Majesty already instructed, there’s a special portion just for you! We’ll change it right away!"
Only then did Ji Youzhi relent, thanked the Emperor, and started eating ravenously.
Meanwhile, at the Ji Mansion, when Xiaosuisui followed Ji Youyuan back, the sky was already light. Wang Dongxue was sleeping soundly, and the servants in the room quickly fetched water for them to wash up.
After Xiaosuisui finished washing, Ji Youyuan waved everyone away. Ensuring the Courtyard was clear of people, he slowly spoke.
"What do you think about the Li clan elder’s situation?"
Xiaosuisui blinked, not understanding why Uncle was asking her this?
"You heard his innermost thoughts, do you think he wants to become the Emperor?
Or does he have another purpose?"
Xiaosuisui pouted, "Uncle, shouldn’t you ask Uncle Youzhi about this? He’s the Divine Hunter!"
"But this matter is related to you, you definitely have the authority to speak on it!"
Xiaosuisui lowered her little head.
"I don’t know either!"
Ji Youyuan felt a headache coming on, rubbing his brows, "You already know the secret of Old Lady Li wanting to bury you alive back then. What do you think about it now?"
Xiaosuisui widened her eyes, "Uncle, what are you trying to say? I’m not Eighth Uncle, I don’t have all those twists and turns in my stomach, I can’t guess!"
Ji Youyuan sighed, "The Li Family has fallen, the old, weak, women, and children all jailed, including Old Lady Li and her husband, as well as your second uncle’s family. If you trace it from the clan’s genealogy they recently acknowledged, even the third Li couple in Baiyun Town would be jailed!"
"Ah!" Xiaosuisui opened her mouth in shock, her big eyes staring roundly at Ji Youyuan.
"I..."
"I know you’re young and may not understand some things, but honestly, I don’t understand why you are a child of the Li Family?
I’ve met Old Lady Li’s family, and they didn’t seem to have such kindness to deserve a little treasure like you!"
At these words, Xiaosuisui became proud.
"That just shows my mother is kind-hearted! My coming to this world might be because of her?"
Ji Youyuan rubbed his brow, "Your mother indeed has great virtue, but I don’t intend to tell you about her affairs."
Xiaosuisui said, "I didn’t ask you!"
Ji Youyuan, "..." Feeling sentimental over nothing!
The little girl, because of her intuition, is no longer just a baby...
"Uncle! You actually want to talk about my father, what have you found out?"
Ji Youyuan, "..."
"Honestly, if you don’t tell me, I won’t be in a rush. Once the case at the Prince’s Mansion is solved, I can investigate myself, it’s just a bit of trouble for Feifei!"
Ji Youyuan, "..."
"Uncle, are you going to tell me or not? If not, I’m leaving!"
As Xiaosuisui spoke, she prepared to leave.
Ji Youyuan pressed her back down, "Sit tight and listen to me."
Xiaosuisui obediently sat back down.
"When I heard you took Li Silang to the courtyard to see Erhu, I knew you wanted to know about your parents’ affairs, longing for their love, so I decided to tell you about it!"
Xiaosuisui sat in place, listening attentively.
"When I was little, seeing Li Yanyan being held by her parents, and surrounded by Grandma and the others, I was so envious. I also wanted a father, a mother to hold me, to celebrate my birthday, make me longevity noodles, and sing lullabies to me!"
