Chapter 134 – I Can’t Make Him Cry Like That
Ji He was stunned for a moment. When he realized the potential meaning of this sentence, his breathing suddenly became rapid and his vision filled with red.
“Imperial Father.” Ji Tongguang spoke up.
“Son,” Ji Yuan sighed. His exhaustion was evident in an instant. “After all, you are also a citizen of the great An Dynasty, and right now we are facing a national crisis…”
“Imperial Father!” Ji Tongguang was so agitated that he stood up.
“Ji Tongguang!” Ji Yuan’s face turned serious. “You interrupted me time and time again. Do you still have any respect for your elders?”

Ji Tongguang replied, “I think this method is inappropriate.”
Ji Yuan said with a sullen face, “Leave.”
“Imperial Father, you know this is obviously wrong!”
“What do you know?” Ji Yuan’s face darkened again. “I said leave!”
Ji Tongguang knelt on the floor with burning eyes. “It is inhumane to put your loved ones in danger, and it is unrighteous to deceive others. What you have done is disloyal and unrighteous.”
“He is my son!” Ji Yuan was furious. He stood up. “As a prince of the great An Dynasty, when the country is in danger, how can he not get involved?”
“You still remember that he is a prince?” Ji Tongguang raised his head. His expression carried a hint of ridicule. “In the past, when you sent him out of the country to become a hostage prince, why did you not remember that he is your son?”
Ji Yuan, “Back then, the circumstances forced my hand.”
Ji Tongguang sneered and retorted, “So you want to say that you’re also being forced right now?”
“Ji Siyuan,” Ji Yuan shouted, “Read the military report to him!”
Ji Siyuan stood up and read the military report without any expression on his face.
With every sentence reported, Ji Tongguang’s heart cooled another degree.
With the excuse of sending a bridal sedan chair to fetch the bride, the Dongwu Kingdom has already annexed two cities. Secured in their power, the Dongwu Kingdom was already pressing against the borders of the An Kingdom with the main forces of their army. They were acting like they were ready to take down the An Kingdom with a single order.

Ji Yuan’s voice was also full of exhaustion. “He is my son after all, if there is another solution do you think I would let him take such a risk? In your heart, am I such a bad sovereign?”
Ji Tongguang’s face was painfully hot. He kept accusing his imperial father of being heartless and unjust, but he couldn’t think of any solution himself.
Ji Yuan said: “What’s more, Ji Yao’s death was not an accident.”
Ji Tongguang suddenly raised his head.
Ji Yuan continued, “Ji Yao was murdered. This is a trap set by Jiang Zhe. The courtship is just an excuse. His real goal is to have a sufficient reason to send troops.
Ji Tongguang was astonished, but there was still something that he did not understand. “But even if Ji He looks like Ji Yao, when the time comes, he will be exposed!”
Ji Yuan paused for a while, and then said slowly: “I have my own plans.”
Ji He didn’t say a single word this entire time, but he kept stroking the scar on the side of his thumb. He used to have a sixth finger there. The finger was cut off on the very day he was born, but he could still felt a dull pain.
They were talking about his future, but he did not have any say in it at all.
His fate was never in his hands.
After the meal, Ji Yuan kept Ji Mingwu behind and dismissed everyone else.
In the dim candlelight, half of Ji Yuan’s face was hidden in the shadows, and his voice was so cold that there was no trace of emotion: “You will accompany Ji He to Dongwu Kingdom. After you enter their borders, find an opportunity… and kill him.”
Ji Mingwu raised his head. He wore an expression of shock, but there was also a trace of excitement in his face. “Understood!”

The camera cut to a different angle and the audience can see Ji He leaning against the door. His eyes were wide with shock, but that bewilderment gradually faded away, leaving behind only icy coldness.
“Cut!”
Qiu Jin was still carrying the emotions from the scene. While he was acting, he held it in and didn’t cry. Right now, he was still high on emotions from the scene. Upon releasing the tension in his body, the tears came pouring out without his bidding.
This was the first time that Ji Shenxiao saw Qiu Jin at work, and his eyes were glued to him practically the entire time. Seeing Qiu Jin cry, he subconsciously wanted to go to his side to protect him and coax the tears away.
But just as he took a single step forward, he stopped. No, he shouldn’t be so impulsive.
Ji Shenxiao just stood where he was and looked at Qiu Jin. He did not take another step forward.
The young man’s eyes were moist and his nose was red. His entire face was tinted pink. A light brown mole decorated the corner of his eye. He looked particularly charming.
When Qiu Jin perceived Ji Shenxiao’s gaze, he pretended to be calm and collected, and gave him a smile.
At that moment, Ji Shenxiao’s heart beat violently, but a thought in his heart became clearer and clearer – he could not make Qiu Jin cry like this.
