Ji Fengyan could not fathom just how despondent her former self must have been she received news of Ji Yun's death.
That final ray of hope in her life was snuffed out just like that.
From what Linghe and the rest said, Ji Fengyan could vaguely guess that Ji Yun's death was not an accident but a murder…
Ji Yun's performance was not as splendid as Situ Ba's. Nevertheless, he was reliable and adept at planning battle strategies. Ji Yun was also a shining star within the army—otherwise why would Linghe and company be willing to shed blood for him?
But…
Ji Yun could not retire alive from the battlefield.
She recalled Linghe saying that right before going into that battle, Ji Yun had applied for leave from the Emperor. He had hoped to return to the capital city to visit his daughter.
However…
That battle ended up being his final one.
Death separated forever father and daughter, never to meet again.
