"Prince, you are too kind. Even His Majesty couldn't stop the tragedy that befell Jingan Marquis Mansion that year, for our enemies from the past had long been prepared to bloodbath my home. Otherwise, why would my family be annihilated before His Majesty's Imperial Edict could even be issued?"
Whenever Consort Jing thought of the past, she felt as if a boulder weighed down on her heart, leaving her breathless.
Her parents were killed in a cruel manner, and even her sister-in-law's newborn niece did not escape the massacre.
When she was sent to Jingan Temple with the Emperor's permission, she quietly returned to Jingan Marquis Mansion once and saw the bloodied corpses, which left her in profound grief.
Since then, she had sworn that she would not die in vain. She vowed to take revenge with her own hands, for the sake of her relatives under the nine springs!
Ji Ruyan looked around the basement environment and felt it was acceptable.
