Kill the sadistic male protagonist and become the emperor

Ren Baozhi looked behind her and saw the man lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, unconscious.

Blood gushed out from the back of his head and flowed all over the floor.

Jiangchun stood behind the man, the bowl in her hand was broken, and blood was dripping from between her fingers.

She was still in a panic, staring at the man lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

After a long while, she seemed to come to her senses. Her throat rolled over and she spoke with difficulty: "I... I killed someone... Auntie... I killed someone, I killed someone..."

She just kept murmuring this sentence, as if to confirm, but also as if hoping someone would deny it.

Jiangchun's hands couldn't stop shaking, and the porcelain pieces fell to the ground with a crisp sound. She looked at Ren Baozhi helplessly, tears filling her eyes: "Auntie, what should I do? I killed someone."

Not caring about her own wound, Ren Baozhi stepped forward and hugged Jiangchun in her arms: "It's okay, Jiangchun, it's okay, Auntie will protect you."

She hugged Jiangchun tightly in her arms, very tightly, and an inexplicable emotion almost made her cry: "Trust me, okay? I will never let a single word of this leak out."

The wound on the shoulder was torn due to the force, but Ren Baozhi didn't care about it at this time.

"Auntie would never lie to me," Jiangchun choked, "but...Auntie, I'm scared."

Jiangchun wanted to hug the old lady back, but now her hand was covered with sticky and disgusting blood.

When her hand was about to touch Ren Baozhi's waist, she finally let it go dejectedly.

Ren Baozhi put Jiangchun's right hand down and put it around her waist: "Don't be afraid, Auntie is here, Auntie is here."

She could feel the strength with which Jiang Chun was gripping her waist, like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood.

All Ren Baozhi could do was hug Jiangchun back tightly, trying to hold her tighter and tighter: "It's okay, it'll be okay."

“Ah—mmmm—”

The woman who fell to the ground seemed to suddenly understand what was happening in front of her, and a scream broke out of her throat. Fortunately, Ji Pingyue covered her mouth in time. She didn't want A Niang's voice to attract others.

But A'niang struggled so hard that she was almost unable to control herself.

"Help me." Ji Pingyue said calmly in the direction of Yundu.

"Oh, okay." Yundu's mind was in a mess. After hearing Ji Pingyue's words, he woke up as if from a dream. He and his servant subdued the woman together.

Chen Lanyue had never seen such a bloody scene. She was so scared that she collapsed on the ground with tears streaming down her face.

But she covered her mouth tightly, because she knew that if she let go she would scream.

"Auntie, this man is not dead."

After subduing the woman, Yao Xia calmed himself down and checked the man's breath. Although it was weak, he was still alive.

Hearing this, Jiangchun could hardly believe her ears. She broke free from Ren Baozhi's arms and looked into her eyes with great joy: "Auntie, I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone. Jiangchun is not a bad person!"

"Well, Jiangchun is not a bad person."

"Auntie, I didn't kill anyone! I really didn't kill anyone!"

Ren Baozhi hugged Jiangchun and said gently, "Yes, it's true."

After receiving Ren Baozhi's affirmative answer, Jiang Chun finally couldn't bear the sudden sorrow and joy and fainted in Ren Baozhi's arms.

Yundu was a little worried: "Is she okay?"

"It's okay," Ren Baozhi said softly, looking at Jiangchun, whose tears were still wet in her arms. "She's just tired and wants to rest for a while."

After saying that, she carried Jiangchun out of the room, the clothes on her shoulders stained with blood making it even more shocking.

The next day, Yongzhou received a new case: a man was suspected of intentionally injuring the daughter of the Imperial Censor and abusing his wife and children for a long time.

As the investigation deepened, more cruel facts gradually surfaced:

It turned out that the so-called "wife" was a foreign woman whom he had abducted with drugs. The proof of her background had long been burned by the man and could not be found anywhere.

In addition to the long-term abuse, the man also drowned all three of the woman's previous baby girls.

The nature of the case has therefore become more serious and requires further evidence collection and review.

After more than a month, the Queen Mother returned from her Fengshan ceremony at Mount Hua.

Since the Fengshan Ceremony at Mount Hua, the Queen Mother proposed to confer titles on officials of the third rank and above, and to promote the ranks of officials below the fourth rank.

For a time, countless officials in the court and the country benefited from this and were grateful to the Queen Mother.

The families of these officials spread the story from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the impression of the Queen Mother in the minds of the people gradually became as majestic and lofty as Mount Hua.

Not only that, the eldest princess learned about the case of drowning the baby girl and reported it to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was furious and begged the Emperor to order the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the case and help the woman rebuild her household registration to clear her name.

On the ninth day of the eighth month, in order to severely punish such crimes, the court issued a new law stipulating that anyone who killed a baby would be sentenced to death.

On August 15th, when the moon was full in the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ji Pingyue's mother had a new identity. On the thin notebook, her name had changed to "Ji Bujin".

She was finally no longer the "old and ugly woman" in her husband's mouth, no longer the "woman who only brings misfortune to others", and no longer the "woman who cannot give birth to a son".

Wild fire, in spring.

This is her new life, she finally has a name that truly belongs to her.

Over the past month, Ren Baozhi often visited Ji Pingyue and her daughter. Although she was in urgent need of saving money, she would bring some simple food and basic herbs every time she visited them.

The mother and daughter still lived in poverty, but their mental state had improved significantly, especially Ji Bujin.

She had been tortured by endless abuse and her spirit was so damaged that she could no longer remember who her original family was or where her home was.

Whenever she thought back to the past, she trembled all over, and the wounds all over her body screamed in pain in her ears.

When her mental state gradually stabilized, she felt both guilty and grateful towards Ren Baozhi. She had no way to repay her and could only pick a basket of wild vegetables and give them to her.

Ren Baozhi naturally refused to accept it, and repeatedly told Ji Bujin to take good care of herself and not to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables anymore, and that she would visit them often.

Every time she saw her eldest and second sisters, Ji Pingyue smiled brightly. After getting familiar with them, she also revealed that she had actually discovered that the two sisters were following her that day, but she knew that the two sisters were good people.

Ren Baozhi glared at Chen Lanyue fiercely: "It must be because you were clumsy and made too much noise!"

"Hey, why are you blaming me?"

"It's your fault!"

"Don't bully me just because I don't hate you anymore!"

Ji Pingyue looked at them playing and covered his mouth with his little hands, then burst out laughing.

Ji Pingyue has a secret, which she has never told anyone, not even her mother.
