Chapter 266 Poor Jinjie
Chapter 266 Poor Jinjie
She believed that people would change, but they would not change so quickly, and they would not change to the point that she, the person who once slept with her, would not recognize them.
But what was the problem? She was puzzled.
No matter what, she had to meet Jinjie, otherwise how could she feel at ease?
Jinjie seemed to be under house arrest and did not step out of the door even once the entire afternoon.
He would occasionally come to the window to take a look, with disappointment and a gloomy look in his eyes.
Night falls
Hong Yan brought the nuns to deliver vegetarian food to him. After being checked by the guards at the gate, they entered the house smoothly.
Jinjie was sitting on the bed in a daze. The child who once had bright eyes was gone, and in his place came a boy with lifeless eyes.
"Jinjie..."
Luo Nianxi, who had transformed into a nun, called him. Jinjie didn't react for a moment and looked at her with narrowed eyes.
She motioned Hong Yan to watch the door, and she walked over quickly.
"Jinjie, it's mother..."
Jinjie blinked hard several times, and when he confirmed that the woman in front of him was his mother, tears rolled down his eyes.
He couldn't wait to run to her, threw himself into her arms, and began to cry.
"Mom, I miss you so much, I miss you so much!"
"Jinjie, Mom misses you too."
As she said this, her tears kept falling like beads from a broken string.
She really didn't expect that after half a year, Jinjie not only didn't grow taller, but actually lost weight.
She held his shoulders tightly with both hands and looked him up and down.
"Jinjie, you've lost weight. Did you not eat well?"
Jinjie bit his lips and shook his head vigorously.
"Mom, Jinjie is fine, how about you? Are you okay?"
There was clearly grievance in his eyes, and his voice was clearly trembling, but he was unwilling to admit in front of his mother that he was not having a good life, for he was afraid that his mother would worry about him.
"Jinjie, tell mother, is your father good to you?"
When Jinjie mentioned his father, he heard a muffled sound of his teeth breaking, and then nodded.
"pretty good."
Luo Nianxi knew that Jinjie was afraid that she would worry, so he didn't want to say more.
"Jinjie, has anyone bullied you?"
When she said this, she grabbed his arm, but Jinjie's body shook instinctively. She seemed to realize something and hurriedly lifted his sleeve...
When she saw that the arm, which was originally as smooth as jade, was actually covered with countless needle holes, some of which had scabs and some were stained with blood, her heart was instantly torn in two.
Her lips trembled, and her hands seemed to have no idea where to put them. She wanted to touch the needle holes, but she clenched her fists in the air.
She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was her son Jinjie, Leng Yiyan's biological son.
"Tell me, who did this? Who did this?"
There was anger in her voice and desperation in her eyes.
Jinjie quickly pulled back his arm and shook his head vigorously.
"No...no one, it was...I did it accidentally."
She grabbed his wrist again, her face twisted as she asked,
"Tell me, who did this? Who did this?"
Jinjie bit his lips tightly and stared at her with horrified eyes.
"Mother, this was done by those ladies in the palace."
Hearing this, she felt her heart aching so much that she couldn't breathe. Her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
"Mom... I'm fine, don't worry about me, I'm really fine."
At this time, Jinjie was still comforting her, which made her feel even more sorry for Jinjie.
"Does your father know?"
What she is concerned about now is what Leng Yiyan will do when he finds out about this.
Jinjie shook his head first, then nodded.
"He probably knows, but he said that those ladies are elders and they are teaching me a lesson for my own good."
"brute……"
These two words were the only ones she could use to describe him now.
How could he say such beastly words?
"Jinjie, I'm sorry. I didn't take good care of you. I'm going to pack my things now and go back to the palace with you."
"Mom, don't."
Jinjie stepped forward and held her, shaking his head vigorously.
"Mother, please don't come back to the palace with me. You have been deposed and are no longer the Empress. You can't go back. Besides, the palace is different now, and... Father is also different. He is like a different person..."
At this point, he pursed his lips and looked at Luo Nianxi with worry in his eyes.
"He also said that after he promised to bring me to Gratitude Temple this time, I have to call Concubine Cheng mother when I go back and I can't mention you anymore. You...you'd better leave here as soon as possible to avoid danger."
Jinjie's words made Luo Nianxi's expression suddenly nervous.
Such a young child can say such words. Could it be that Leng Yiyan wants to kill her?
She didn't want to believe it, but when she went to see him just now, the way he looked at her was as if she was a stranger, and what he did was completely different from before.
Maybe, there is really something wrong with Leng Yiyan.
She used her mind to take out the ointment and hallucinogenic spray from Bao'an Hall.
"Jinjie, this is an anti-inflammatory ointment. Apply it and your wound will heal quickly. Also, take this. If someone attacks you again, just spray it on her face twice and they won't attack you again."
"Mom, what is this?"
"Don't ask too much, just keep this thing. I can't accompany you for the time being. I have something important to do."
After saying this, she hugged Yiming distressedly and told him again,
"Take good care of yourself and wait for mother to come back. During this time, do not anger your father or the ladies in the palace. Protect yourself. It's okay even if you have to be humble for a while. Remember?"
Jinyu leaned on her shoulder and nodded heavily.
"Mom, I remember it."
At this time, someone outside called out:
"Hey, the food delivery guy, hasn't come out yet?"
Bai Lan hurried over to call her,
"My lady, please get out!"
She nodded reluctantly, then looked at Jinjie again.
"Remember what mother said, put your things away and take good care of yourself. Mother will come to you soon."
Jinjie also nodded heavily.
"I understand. Mom, you should take care of yourself too."
Looking at Jinjie's thin body, Luo Nianxi's tears kept falling.
Hong Yan's urging voice came again, and she said goodbye to Jinjie reluctantly and walked quickly towards the door.
Back in the room, she paced back and forth, feeling indescribably panicked.
At this moment, Chuntao ran over in a hurry.
"Madam, something bad happened. Hong Yan was beaten."
Beaten?
"Who's beating her?"
"Your Majesty, he said Hong Yan was a traitor and was whipping her."
Hearing this, she rushed out of the house like crazy and ran straight to the courtyard where the emperor was.
Before anyone could enter the Moon Gate, they heard Hong Yan's muffled groan.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong."
She came rushing in, shouting,
"stop."
The guard who was whipping stopped, but Leng Yiyan suddenly shouted,
"Do you listen to her or me? Beat..."
The guard who was whipping him raised the whip again and whipped Hong Yan again and again.
Luo Nianxi was furious for a moment, and quickly came to Leng Yiyan, raised her finger at him, and shouted angrily:
"You're really going too far. What did Hong Yan do wrong that you want to beat her to death?"
