2581 The Yu Family Has Become Cannon Fodder
“If you stop being a smart aleck, the Empress is still willing to support you. If you continue to think you’re smart, we can also replace you with someone else.”
Ji Ziyin’s oval face flushed. She clenched her fists and swallowed her anger. “I just don’t want to see others look down on the reclusive family and the Empress’ dignity.
“Since the Empress and Lord Shadow have other arrangements, I’ll obey you,” she added obediently.
Ji Ziyin was so perceptive that Shadow could not help but say, “You’re a member of the Ji family. You’re quite sensible.”
Ji Ziyin’s face was dark, but she knew what was good for her. “It’s in man’s nature to strive for better… I’m just leaving a path for myself.”
“Alright.” Shadow knew very well what she was planning and did not care about her tricks. He actually did not take her seriously. He interrupted Ji Ziyin and conveyed the Empress’ words to her. “The Empress wants you to come over tomorrow. She’ll personally bring you into the Privy Council!”

“You told her?”
Shadow returned to the villa.
Fragrant incense fluttered in the room, mixed with the smell of Chinese herbs. They all had calming effects.
The people outside could never know that the Empress had actually been using Chinese Medicine methods to treat her chronic illness.
As her personal guard, Shadow was already used to the smell. He knelt on one knee in front of the curtain and lowered his head. “Ji Ziyin will be here at nine o’clock sharp tomorrow morning.”
There was a long silence behind the draperies.
Shadow did not move and just waited for her order.
She crumpled the paper into a ball but did not throw it away. She only said disdainfully, “Forget it. Ji Lingfeng called me. Save him some face.” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
