Chapter 524: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Seventy-Four)

"Mosh! The villain succeeds! Damn it!"

Ji Mingjie was furious, shutting himself in his room and sulking. Even after his anger, he still didn't dare to provoke Moshi again. Moshi was originally from a small tribe. If he hadn't been smart and capable, and caught his eye, how could he have risen through the ranks? And now, the Judge had no shame at all.

Ji Mingjie's son was suspicious of Mosh's origins.

"Father, I just asked the man who came back. It turns out that Moshi's background is not simple. He is not just the son of a small tribal elder."

"Impossible, what identity could he have?"

"Moshi's mother was a woman from Liang, and his maternal grandfather was a minister of Liang. The minister had only one daughter, who was cherished from childhood. Her beauty drew her in, and an elder from a small tribe, while passing through Liang on business, snatched her away. She was tortured to death when Moshi was ten. The minister searched for his daughter for a long time, only to find she was already dead. He paid a large sum of money and allowed Moshi to leave with him. When Moshi grew up, he returned to the small tribe. Because the elder's sons had died in an internal conflict, Moshi became a respected figure. However, the elder was old and ailing, and died a few years ago. I believe Moshi must have long since defected to Emperor Liang!"

Ji Mingjie didn't know which identity should make him more angry: the treacherous minister of the Lord or the enemy's secret agent? He felt depressed and threw a batch of things.

He didn't know it at the moment, but because he had once coveted the Wu Clan's treasure, Wu Lan sometimes suspected Ji Mingjie of stealing it. After all, Ji Mingjie was the emperor at the time, and even if he found clues to the treasure, he might have kept it for himself rather than returning it to the Wu Clan. So Wu Lan had people tracking Ji Mingjie early on, and even Ji Mingjie had people from the Wu Clan around him. Ji Mingjie had been transferring his wealth for the past two years, and when the noise was a bit loud, Wu Lan discovered it. After discovering it, she helped him clear the traces and prevented him from revealing the location of his treasure.

Ji Mingjie actually hid in five places, and Wu Lan visited each place, leaving a layer of gold, silver and treasures on the surface, and replacing the bottom with worthless things.

After Ji Mingjie found out, he was terrified for a long time and cursed Wu Lan a thousand times in his heart. He was afraid that he would live in poverty for the rest of his life, so he went to transfer the treasure himself. However, he was discovered by someone and reported to King Lounan.

Prince Lounan's wife, the second princess of the previous dynasty and the daughter of Concubine Wen, harbored a deep hatred for Ji Mingjie and constantly sought revenge against him for the deaths of her father, mother, and younger brother. Prince Lounan's sister, though escorted from the capital and spared from burial, never forgot the Fourth Prince's tragic death. After marrying another, she felt a sense of guilt towards the Fourth Prince, believing he had died at her hands. Had Ji Mingjie not drugged her, she would not have killed her own husband. Therefore, she sought to kill Ji Mingjie, the mastermind behind the murder, both to avenge the Fourth Prince and to bring peace of mind to herself.

Both women wanted revenge. King Lounan could not forget that Ji Mingjie had seriously injured him in the palace, so he sent people to kill him on the way. He almost could not return to the Lounan tribe. So a man and two women captured Ji Mingjie, looted his private possessions, and then locked him up and tortured him.

Ji Mingjie still expected his son to save him, but unfortunately, his son, who had high hopes for him, fled with his men after hearing from the servant that his father was captured by his second aunt. The house was deserted and he did not dare to save his father at all.

The young woman asked her husband why he ran away. Ji Mingjie, the son, dared not tell his wife his true identity. He had decided not to tell his descendants in the future to avoid trouble, so he omitted the details and gave a few general words.

Upon learning that her father-in-law had offended a high-ranking official and would implicate them, the woman panicked and fled with her husband, constantly blaming him. The couple hadn't even bothered to save her and had abandoned Ji Mingjie's concubines, leaving some money for the one who had given birth to the child and then leaving her to fend for herself. After three years of torture, Ji Mingjie, now mute and missing arms and legs, was abandoned by King Lounan's men in his former mansion. Only then did he discover that his son and daughter-in-law had already fled, his two concubines had remarried, and the one who had given birth to the child, along with their two-year-old son, had found a live-in husband a month after his capture.

Ji Mingjie looked at his five-year-old son excitedly, but the child called his parents in fear. After the concubine recognized that this was her former husband, she was afraid that it would affect her current life, so she made up her mind and asked her husband to take the son away. Then she treated Ji Mingjie as a thief and had him beaten to death with sticks.

Ji Mingjie never expected that his end would be like this. He was beaten to death by his concubine. If he had known earlier, he might as well have jumped off the city wall and fulfilled his integrity as the last emperor of the Ji Kingdom.
