Chapter 2093: Chapter 2093: The Most Regretful Thing
Jun Yiyi forced a bitter smile.
"Actually, at the beginning, I just planned to use this matter to have the Imperial College expel you, destroy your reputation and future." Lie Fengzi spread his hands triumphantly, "I really didn’t expect even heaven to help me, with someone powerful wanting to take you down from above!"
"It seems I can’t escape this fate."
"That’s right, when such a person wants you dead, you are doomed. No matter who you seek help from, it will be useless! Rest assured, your life will be completely ended before Helian Ling Kong returns, so just enjoy the last few days of your life."
...
The situation was indeed as Lie Fengzi described, a powerful figure who could crush everything wanted to deal with her, so everything came swiftly; sufficient evidence of collusion with spies, even so-called witnesses she had never met. In truth, the authenticity was irrelevant, the other side only wanted an excuse to quickly eliminate her.
This kind of manipulative tactic in the shadows was already commonplace in the circles of power, especially since she was just an insignificant girl. Even if the news of her death was made public, the ripples it would cause would be a small wave, quickly forgotten as a political sacrifice.
The only bit of conscience left perhaps was that her request to meet Madam Aisha one last time was granted.
This time, Jun Yiyi didn’t hide anything from Madam Aisha, she would soon receive news of her being convicted of espionage. Whether she could accept it or not, Madam Aisha had to be prepared to live alone.
"They’re going to execute you?" Madam Aisha screamed, her face pale, her hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.
"Yes, someone with immense power cannot tolerate my existence, and such a figure is utterly beyond our capability to deal with, so this time, I can’t escape my fate." Jun Yiyi was too aware of the darkness of politics, though she didn’t understand why the other side valued her so much as to go to such lengths to destroy her.
But undoubtedly, in this situation, she had not a shred of hope for self-rescue.
"That person is..." Madam Aisha bit her lip, not daring to speak the name she suspected. Yet, as someone who mingled in the upper echelons of politics, she could somewhat guess that the one daring to eliminate someone with her daughter’s sensitive identity must be the person in the highest position.
"Yes, so even though I’ve never admitted defeat, there’s nothing I can do." Her heart was full of unwillingness and fear of death, now she could only pretend to be unafraid to prevent Madam Aisha from being too heartbroken.
She tried hard to comfort Madam Aisha, but it was as if Madam Aisha couldn’t hear her, her hands and feet trembling, unable to accept the truth.
The visiting time ended quickly. In the end, Madam Aisha suddenly grabbed her hand tightly, her eyes bursting with fierce determination, murmuring, "I won’t let you die, absolutely won’t let you die... wait for me."
Jun Yiyi gave a bitter smile, unable to save herself, what could this frail foster mother do? She was like a flower in a greenhouse needing care from others. It was her father before, then Governor Yun, now herself, and in the future, she could only rely on herself. Fortunately, she had made preparations before, leaving a sum of money that could probably enable her to live a peaceful and ordinary life.
Jun Yiyi returned to her cell, her head empty, not knowing what to think, just subconsciously avoiding thinking about her own fate. The fear of death was not absent, but compared to this fear, what occupied her heart was another, more urgent, and regretful emotion.
