Chapter 18: The Flame of Vengeance Reignited in the Dark (3)
The next morning.
The sky was grey and confused, with a very heavy atmosphere.
Han Ji was disappointed to hear that Zhou Yan stayed in Zhang Ying's room early in the morning. Perhaps she had never thought that Zhou Yan would embrace other women? Han Ji felt disappointed when she thought of this. She decided to go see Yin Yin. She still felt that the escape plan proposed by Qin Ji yesterday was not appropriate, so she decided to talk to Yin Yin first. So Han Ji went to Yin Yin's residence after preparing breakfast...
On the way to [Fengzhu Garden], Han Ji saw two maids running out of [Fengzhu Garden] in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry? Or?
Han Ji realized that something was wrong, so she quickened her pace and stepped forward to stop the maids...
"Princess—"
The hurried maid found Han Ji and greeted her hastily.
"What happened? Why the rush?"
"Replying to the Princess, Her Majesty Yuanfei, she, she——"
"Something happened to the dancer?"
"Yes, so we are now going to find a doctor and report to the prince--"
Knowing that Yin Yin was in trouble, Han Ji no longer cared about so much. She followed them to find the right person, while she and Xiao Lu went directly to Fengzhu Garden!
When I arrived at [Fengzhu Garden], I saw the maids standing at the door in panic? The door was closed...
"Why are you all standing outside? Didn't they say something happened to Concubine Yuan?"
"Princess—"
Looking at the maid's panic-stricken look, she must have been driven out by Yin Yin, right?
"Forget it, I'll go in by myself—"
After saying that, Han Ji pushed the door open without waiting for the maid to report the situation. The floor of the room was not covered with debris like before, and the tables and chairs were not tilted. It was hard to tell what had happened here. However, there was a faint smell of blood in the cold air, which made Han Ji's heart tense up...
"Dancing sister?"
Since there was no one in the room, she must be on the bed in the inner hall. Han Ji turned around and walked towards the other side of the screen. As soon as she passed the screen, she saw Yin Yin, wearing a thin white shirt and with disheveled hair, slumped on the ground, crawling on the bed. There were a lot of bloodstains on her white clothes...
"Sister, how are you doing on the ground?"
Han Ji hurriedly stepped forward, squatted down, and put her hands on Yin Yin's shoulders. Han Ji instantly felt the thin, cold touch from Yin Yin's body...
"Dancing girl?"
Han Ji was a little worried when she didn't get a response. She gently helped Yin Yin up and saw that there were several wounds on her right wrist and she was bleeding. Her left hand was holding a piece of glass and was also bleeding. There were also many places on the bed sheet stained with blood. At this time, Han Ji only thought of the blood on Yin Yin's wrist. She had no idea what happened last night. It would be better to say that Yin Yin wanted to die than to say that she was torturing herself?
" Dancing girl——"
The bloody scene made Han Ji's heart hang in the balance. When she saw Yinyin's expression, it chilled her heart even more. Her lips seemed to be bitten and bloodless. Her face was expressionless. What made her even more sad was her lifeless, dead eyes. What surprised her even more was that from the gaps in Yinyin's thin and untidy clothes, she could see that there seemed to be a lot of bruises? Rather than bruises, it was better to say that they were kiss marks...
"What happened? Dancer——"
Yin Yin looked so pale and lifeless. Who could have guessed what had happened to her? I could not care less and bandaged the wound on my wrist with a towel first...
"…Xiaolu, help me help the dancer sit on the bed."
"Yes Yes--"
Seeing such a scene, Xiaolu couldn't help but panic.
After helping Yinyin onto the bed, Han Ji carefully took the ceramic fragments out of her hands and threw them aside. "Xiaolu, go get some hot water—"
"yes--"
Xiaolu left in a hurry.
After watching Xiaolu disappear completely from the room, Han Ji turned around and looked at Yinyin. Perhaps it was as if she had intentionally sent Xiaolu away? She gently wiped the blood from Yinyin's lips with the end of her sleeve, and her heart felt as if it was struck by something and it was tearing with pain: "Is it the prince?"
I don't know whether I should say it or not, but I believe that there is no other person in this world who can hurt Yinyin like this except Zhou Yan, right? In other words, what Han Ji was worried about finally happened, because she knew that Zhou Yan would definitely touch Yinyin, but she didn't expect it to be at this time, in this way...
When facing the maids before, Yin Yin fiercely drove them out, but now facing Han Ji, all she could do was remain silent...
"I know it's useless to say this now, and I also know that I shouldn't say this at this time. Can't you feel the prince's feelings for you at all?"
Han Ji's words hit Yin Yin like a bolt from the blue, and her heart, which had been as silent as death, began to twitch again...
"He really loves you. I was ordered to marry him less than half a year after you fell off the cliff more than two years ago. At that time, he still missed you. Even though I became his wife, I didn't get any love from him. I thought that time would dilute his longing for you after your death, but I didn't expect that not only did you survive, but you also became his favorite concubine by mistake. Although I don't know what happened in between, and I know that you don't love him, even if you are not the real Yin Yin, his love for you has not changed at all, and his persistence in you is obvious to all. He is a cold-blooded person that the world fears and dreads, but he also has a careful and passionate side. This is all because of you. Even if the world racks their brains , they can't imagine that a cold-blooded person would go crazy for a woman, right? Even if it's just a little bit, even if it's pity, I hope you can forgive him a little. He is not as cruel as you think."
After hearing Han Ji's words, Yin Yin's lips twitched a little. She unbuttoned her thin clothes with her hands, and then slid down her arms to become half naked. Those hidden and obvious kiss marks all over her body were enough to make any woman envious, but not for Yin Yin. Although she cared about Han Ji, she was helpless...
"After seeing all this, how do you want me to forgive you?"
The marks of being loved and abused were deeply imprinted in Han Ji's eyes. After seeing the marks on Yin Yin's body, Han Ji couldn't say a word for a long time!
Yin Yin was not surprised by Han Ji. She put on her clothes. Although her face was expressionless, her eyes seemed to have a clear purpose, and she was determined to complete it even if she died...
"…What are your plans next? Do you want to leave here? Or do you want to—"
Han Ji seemed to have misunderstood the bloody scene she had just seen, but even if it was someone else, they would think that Yin Yin wanted to commit suicide, right? No matter what the consequences were, Han Ji wanted to know.
"Leave? Oh, maybe, but before I leave, I must send him to hell first—"
Ying Leng's chilling tone and expression made Han Ji's hair stand on end. Is this really the Yin Yin she knew?
"You want to assassinate the prince?"
Han Ji trembled and fearfully spoke out the meaning of Yin Yin's words in a disjointed manner. Yin Yin did not answer, but her expression that was not shaken at all told Han Ji that her guess was not wrong!
Han Ji was completely stunned. It was only one night, no, maybe Yin Yin had been planning to avenge Zi Heng since the moment Zi Heng died in front of Yin Yin? She was just immersed in grief and torture and had forgotten it for a while. Now that she was bullied, she had found her purpose again. This was just the hatred she had long ago. She didn't expect that this hatred would be exposed under the worst circumstances. Perhaps it was because of the worst circumstances that her forgotten hatred was reawakened? Han Ji knew very well that this day would come sooner or later, but when this day came, she still couldn't face it and accept it. One was the person she loved the most, and the other was the person she could never hate. She watched silently because she couldn't stop it, because she knew Zhou Yan must have known that this day would come, and she also knew that Yin Yin had already crossed her limit...
