Although Jiang Ling 'er was drunk, her mind was still clear. She nodded in satisfaction and wiped her tears away, leaving only sobs. He also knew that if he continued to cry endlessly, Imperial Dragon Keji would not have such an attitude.

Yulong Keji held her tightly in his arms, a smile on his face as he said confidently,""I didn't expect you to be so fascinated by me. It seems that I was thinking too much.”

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Jiang Ling 'er pretended to be shy and turned her head to the side. She thought that he was really thinking too much and had misunderstood. However, she deliberately made Yulong Keji misunderstand so that he could be at ease. This trick was indeed effective. She used the drunkenness she wanted to play with Ji Jing on him. Although she could say it to Yulong, her feelings were not his.

"Are you going somewhere with me tomorrow?"

"Where?" Jiang Ling 'er raised her chin and looked at Yulong Keji's face. She felt extremely flustered as if something was about to happen.

"Duke Zhao's Mansion!" Imperial Dragon Keji said these three words word by word. Today, he had already let the spies find out where Ji Jing was hiding. Just as he had expected, it was Duke Zhao who had saved him.

"I've always wanted to ask you, I don't even know Crown Prince Ji Jing, why did you have to kill him in front of me?”Jiang Ling 'er's heart skipped a beat, and a bitter smile appeared on her face. Fortunately, she had lowered her head and was in the arms of Imperial Dragon Keji. Otherwise, the trust she had just established would have been broken by her small actions, and it would have aroused even more suspicion.

"He's a guest of your Hundred Flower House and should be a regular customer. It's not that you don't know him, but you don't know who he is. He likes you very much and fell in love with you at first sight.”It was normal for Crown Prince Ji Jing to go to such a place without revealing his identity. Jiang Ling 'er just didn't know. He believed that Jiang Ling' er didn't know either. He knew Ji Jing very well. He wouldn't reveal his identity.

Yulong Keji was very sure that Ji Jing must have seen her before. Otherwise, why would he like her? Thinking of Ji Jing's sad expression that day, Yulong Keji felt inexplicably unhappy."Those who like you must die because you are mine. Even if I don't want you anymore one day, you are still mine. No one else can touch you, nor are you allowed to like you.”

What a domineering and selfish excuse. Jiang Ling 'er sighed in her heart. From now on, she would either let the Imperial Dragon restrain himself and pamper her forever, or she would be cold to him. Even if she abandoned him, she would not be able to escape from him and regain her freedom. However, there was no such thing as forever, and there was no such person as the Imperial Dragon restrain himself.

"Now that the world is once again in a state where there is no ruler, don't you want to use the Son of Heaven to command the vassals, or control him in the palm of your hand, help him ascend the throne, and force him to hand over the imperial power so that you can become the emperor yourself?”Jiang Ling 'er had said all this to get him to give up the idea of killing Ji Jing. She didn't want Ji Jing to die tomorrow. Even if he became a puppet, there was still hope as long as he was alive. He still had the help of the Duke of Zhao and the Duke of Zhou. If there was a suitable time, it would be fine as long as he didn't lose heart.

"Ji Jing must die. I know him very well. It is impossible to keep his life. As long as he is alive, he will eventually become a great disaster. Keeping him alive is a shortcut, but it will also increase the danger. Ji Jing is not a weak and incompetent Crown Prince. Even if his country is half destroyed, he will not be discouraged. As long as he is given a chance, he will make a comeback. He was like a sleeping elephant. He seemed safe, but he was not.”This was the first time Yulong Keji had analyzed these things with her. His eyes were looking forward as if he was thinking about many things, and those were things that others could not guess.

Jiang Ling 'er also became his excuse. In fact, he wanted to kill Crown Prince Ji Jing not because Ji Jing liked Jiang Ling' er, but because of another reason. He knew that shortcuts were often dangerous. If he was not careful and had bad luck, he would be the loser. He would rather give up.

If Ji Jing fell into the hands of another country, it would become his biggest problem. It was better to uproot this troublesome grass first to eliminate future troubles. Killing him was something that had to be done.

"A little danger is better than a lot of trouble. Success or failure depends on the individual. It's fine as long as you handle it carefully. I really don't believe that Ji Jing has such great ability!”Jiang Ling 'er said all this because she wanted Ji Jing to live. She did not expect Yulong Keji to be so decisive. His ambition was even greater than her Hou Fu.

Not only was Yulong Keji extremely shrewd, but he would not take any risks at every step. He walked steadily and steadily, making her feel a little afraid. He would never marry a woman who had no value, so what was her value? Fortunately, she didn't have any feelings for him. Otherwise, she would definitely be heartbroken one day.

Yulong Keji reached out and touched her cheek. He smiled and said,"Can I take it that you don't want me to kill Ji Jing Xiao Er?”

If it weren't for the non-aggressive smile on his face, Jiang Ling 'er would have thought that he was suspicious. Even so, she couldn't be careless, or she would really be suspected."I will be afraid. Ever since I was young, I have never seen the person closest to me kill someone. Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable. A living person dying in front of me, regardless of whether he is the Crown Prince or not, will make me feel uncomfortable and afraid.”

Jiang Ling 'er found the most suitable answer. If she refused, it would be unnatural. She might as well admit that she did not want him to kill Ji Jinglai. A few sweet words of flattery at home would be foolproof.

"Then you don't have to go with me tomorrow. If you want to go to the Hundred Flowers House, then go there. If you want to stay in the house, then rest in the house. There will definitely be a big incident in Gaojing City tomorrow, so don't run around on the streets. The guards won't keep an eye on you, but they will protect your safety on the way back and forth.”Yulong Keji was very satisfied with his arrangements and felt that he was already very lenient with her. He was going to kill Ji Jing tomorrow, so the city would definitely not be safe.

"I understand, I will do as you say!" Jiang Ling 'er's tone was sweet and pleasant. She nodded obediently and rubbed her cheek against Yulong Keji.

Of course, she would be happy to be able to walk around freely tomorrow. That way, she could inform Ji Jing to leave in advance."I'll go to Hundred Flowers House tomorrow morning and help Su Muzhi brew some wine. Although he has followed me for a period of time and learned how to brew wine, there are some techniques that only I know and others can't replicate. He asked me today and I promised him that I would teach him how to brew wine tomorrow. After you kill Ji Jing, we'll be returning to Chu. Time is tight, so it's better to teach him as soon as possible.”

It was a lie to teach her how to brew wine, but it was true that she wanted to escape. This way, she could leave the wine cellar again.

Imperial Dragon Keji nodded, indicating that she approved. She could go."When will you brew some Hundred Flower Wine in my residence? When I have nothing to do, I can also taste a grade. I've only drunk it once in your residence before, and it's extremely delicious.”

The wine brewed by Jiang Ling 'er was top-notch. Presumably, she was the only one who knew the various methods of brewing the wine.

"Then you have to plant all kinds of flowers and plants in the residence. Otherwise, how can I brew it!”Jiang Ling 'er naturally agreed first. This was originally her specialty, so why not?

In Gaojing City, the earth was bathed in the warm sun. People strolled along the streets in twos and threes, hawking their wares. The shops were bustling with activity. The autumn wind was gentle, bringing a hint of coolness.

In the blue sky, there were no clouds for ten thousand miles. It was clear and bright. When he looked up, he could not open his eyes. The fish in the pond were active, and the birds came out of their nests. After he left, Jiang Ling 'er immediately changed her clothes and went to Hundred Flowers Center.

As expected, the guards did not keep an eye on her. They only watched over her along the way. When they reached the entrance of the Hundred Flower House, they did not enter.

Jiang Ling 'er took Su Muzhi and left through the back door of the wine cellar. She wanted to see Ji Jing before Yulong Keji did. Yulong Keji went to make arrangements in the morning and didn't come to Duke Zhao's Mansion first. If they could make it in time, Ji Jing could still be saved.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Duke of Zhao's residence, they saw that the courtyard was in chaos. The crowd was in an uproar, and many scholars were shouting and making a ruckus, wanting the Duke of Zhao to hand over Crown Prince Ji Jing.

"Looks like we can't leave through the main entrance. Muzhi, do you know where the back door is?”Jiang Ling 'er turned around and glanced at Su Muzhi. She did not expect that Imperial Dragon Keji would make the first move and find someone to cause trouble in Duke Zhao's Mansion. She thought that Ji Jing would be prepared, but it seemed that she was still a little late. Fortunately, Imperial Dragon Keji's guard was not seen in the crowd.

The back door was tightly shut. Jiang Ling 'er had no choice but to climb over the wall and enter. Su Muzhi stepped on the door. After she entered, she opened the wooden bolt of the back door and called Su Muzhi in.

Two guards noticed their figures and came forward with their knives. Without any explanation, they placed their knives on their necks."How dare you! Trespassers will die!"

" We're friends of the Crown Prince," Jiang Ling 'er hurriedly said." We came here today at the Crown Prince's invitation. If you don't believe me, you can ask His Highness."”

Under special circumstances, the security in the residence was tight, and nervousness was inevitable. Moreover, the way they entered was indeed inappropriate. She was in a hurry to find Ji Jing and had no time to care about the consequences.

When the two guards saw Jiang Ling 'er speak frankly and with sincere eyes, they wondered if they should follow the orders of the Duke of Zhao and kill the two of them.

"We came here yesterday. The housekeeper in the residence recognized us!”Su Muzhi quickly added. He looked at Jiang Ling 'er in surprise. He had never expected that person to be Crown Prince Ji Jing. He thought that Jiang Ling' er was just spouting nonsense, but he was not a stupid person. He knew who the Crown Prince Jiang Ling 'er was talking about was.

At this moment, it was not appropriate for him to ask Jiang Ling 'er anything. The people blocking the door were shouting slogans and aggressively wanting to kill Ji Jing. This was a critical moment. He still knew his limits. It was more important to see her first.

"I'll go and ask the butler about the situation!”One of the guards put away his saber and left. When they heard that he was a friend of the Crown Prince, they were skeptical. However, the two of them spoke the truth, so they did not dare to make a rash decision, let alone kill him casually.
