He pulled Jiang Ling 'er into his arms and scratched her face with his fingernails.""Are you used to living in the palace?"
Jiang Ling 'er nodded. So what if she wasn't used to living here? Could she go out just because she wasn't used to it? Could she leave him just because she was not used to it? What a useless question!
"Do you like children?" Imperial Dragon Keji seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words. He looked at Jiang Ling 'er strangely, as if he wanted to get some information from her and ask a probing question.
Could it be that Yulong Keji wanted to have a child with her? She didn't want Yulong Keji to be her enemy. She had no choice but to follow her enemy. If she had another enemy's child, how could she face Ji Jing in the netherworld, and how could she face Su Muzhi who had died because of this?
Imperial Dragon Keji saw that Jiang Ling 'er was silent and could not find the answer to the question, so he said bluntly,"My big brother has a son who is naturally intelligent. I wanted to kill him but I couldn't because I was afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction among the people. If you were to raise him, it would be a happy ending.”
Jiang Ling 'er was stunned. Wasn't this what Zuo Shanyi had come to ask her for today? It seemed that Imperial Dragon Keji must have mentioned something to him, and he didn't come to ask recklessly.
"Why do I have to raise him when he wants to kill me?”Jiang Ling 'er seemed to understand, but she didn't quite understand. Imperial Dragon Keji was very shrewd. He definitely didn't do this to keep the child alive, but because he felt that the child was of value.
"Many of the officials in the court are dissatisfied with you. Although you are Miss Yun Zhi, the queen is still above you. I only invited her into the palace because her brother holds great power in the army. Now, you have to establish your own power in the Chu court. Otherwise, something will happen one day. Even if you have the support of the Ji Nation behind you, distant water can't be compared to near fire. I think you understand this principle. That child is protected by the accomplices of the previous life. If you can become the child's mother, you will be protected by them.”After saying that, Imperial Dragon Keji picked up the snack on the plate and took a bite. He was a little hungry. Because he was too busy, he did not eat much at night.
Jiang Ling 'er nodded. Just as she had expected, the reason why she controlled the dragon to restrain herself was for another purpose. It was not because she liked the child and wanted to keep the child alive. But then again, this was also Imperial Dragon Keji's consideration for her. It seemed that she did not need to find her own power points. Imperial Dragon Keji would make comprehensive arrangements for her. Was this considered digging his own grave? Jiang Ling 'er sneered,"Thank you for your good intentions, Marquis."”
Yulong Keji saw her strange smile and felt a little uncomfortable. He did not understand what women were thinking. He had already tried his best to consider and arrange for her. This was all he could do for Jiang Ling 'er at the moment. There was nothing more because his foundation was still not stable."You still care about the position of queen? Are you blaming me?"
Jiang Ling 'er shook her head. She really didn't blame the dragon for restraining herself. She just hated him."I just feel that I'm pathetic. As the dignified Miss Yun Zhi of the Ji Nation, I can't even protect myself here.”
She used these words to prevaricate, but what she said wasn't false. Imperial Dragon Keji didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Thinking about how Jiang Ling 'er was also a proud daughter of heaven, she was indeed wronged."One day, I will cripple Sima Chuchu. That position has always been left for you in my heart.”
Jiang Ling 'er's heart warmed when she heard his promise. She felt more and more conflicted. Should she continue to hate him and take revenge on him, or should she just let it go? She was getting more and more confused about his self-control. She felt that he was so unpredictable. She clearly knew what kind of person he was, but from time to time, she would understand something else.
"Go and see that child tomorrow. Someone will take you to the Cold Palace!”After saying that, Imperial Dragon Keji took off his clothes and lay on the bed.
The next day, Jiang Ling 'er went to the Cold Palace to see Ji Yong, the orphan of the former Crown Prince. Last night, Yulong Keji said that he would go and take a look first. If he liked it, he would set it another day. If he didn't like it, then so be it. After all, it wasn't his child. He didn't want to be bothered by it in his palace.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Cold Palace, Jiang Ling 'er could feel the desolation inside. Yulong Keji did not arrange for Ji Yong to be with the other women. Instead, he was assigned to a separate courtyard and was taken care of by a beautiful woman of the former prince.
The previous prince had two sons and three daughters. The eldest son died under the knife. The second son, Ji Yong, was only five years old this year. He did not participate in the battle because he was young and survived. Moreover, the eldest son was born to the princess consort. The second son was an illegitimate child outside the palace. He was brought into the palace at the age of one and was raised by other women in turn. His biological mother was unlucky. The remaining three daughters were also assassinated by the Imperial Dragon Keji.
Jiang Ling 'er saw that Ji Yong was born with a lively aura. Although he was only five years old, he already looked like a little adult. He was handsome and charming, and his every move had the bearing of a little gentleman.
Seeing that Jiang Ling 'er had brought a lot of delicious food, Ji Yong quickly took it and placed it on the table for the woman who took care of him to taste. He did not forget to thank Jiang Ling' er, who had brought pastries and fruits. He was unusually sensible and felt that his maturity had exceeded his age. He thought about how he was still a mischievous and ignorant child when he was five years old.
Jiang Ling 'er put down her things and asked about the woman's well-being before leaving the Cold Palace in a hurry. She planned to meet Yulong Keji at night to bring him back to her side.
She had just stepped out of the Cold Palace when she saw Ji Yong chasing after her. She ran forward to stop Jiang Ling 'er with a small yellow flower in her hand.
Jiang Ling 'er stopped in her tracks when she saw this. She did not know what this little fellow was up to.
He tilted his little head and looked at Jiang Ling 'er. Then, he politely handed it to Jiang Ling' er."Yong 'er thanks the Marquis Madam for taking the time to visit. This is an unknown wildflower that Yong' er plucked. It is indeed eye-catching.”
Jiang Ling 'er felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be a hidden meaning in her words. She couldn't simply think about the five-year-old boy in front of her. She just wanted to give her a flower as a token of gratitude. What did he mean by putting in effort, what did he mean by attracting people's attention? He was simply saying that on purpose!
If she hadn't been facing Ji Yong, she wouldn't have believed her ears and eyes. To be able to say such words and have such thoughts at such a young age was really unbelievable."Do you like this wildflower?"
Ji Yong raised his toot little face at Mo Ran and said to Jiang Ling 'er with a cute smile,"Wildflowers, everyone likes them, especially men! For example, my birth mother is just like this wildflower. If Madam doesn't mind, please accept it!”
He was indeed not an ordinary child. After all the tiredness, spending every night with the Imperial Dragon Restrain himself was indeed a little tiring. Only such a 'tired' person could be of help to him! It seemed that this child also wanted to follow her. Jiang Ling 'er naturally accepted this wild flower.
Ever since Zuo Ziyong had offered to send her flowers, she had been thinking about other things. She did not know if this child had an expert behind him or if it was spontaneous. If she was smart, then he was too terrifying."It seems that you like these wildflowers very much!”
Ji Yong smiled innocently and without any aggression, directly poking at the motherly feelings hidden deep in the woman's heart."If Madam likes it, then I like it. If Madam doesn't like it, then throw it aside and let it fend for itself!”
What did he mean? What did he mean? Was he really five years old? Was he a demon? Jiang Ling 'er calmed herself down and stopped her thoughts from running wild. She smiled unnaturally and said,""Why wouldn't I like it?"
"Little State Preceptor said that if Furen can protect Yong 'er, Yong' er can also help Furen to walk smoothly.”As Ji Yong spoke, he pounced on Jiang Ling 'er and hugged her thigh tightly.""No wonder the Marquis likes Madam so much. Yong 'er also likes her. She's so beautiful and smells so good!”
This hooligan was inherited from his family! Jiang Ling 'er didn't know what to do with this sudden hug. He was still a five-year-old child, and she couldn't slap him and say that he was a hooligan. However, Mo Ran could not feel any trace of innocence on him. In addition, he had just said that he was good-looking and fragrant. This was taking advantage of his age and taking advantage of her openly!‘
However, his words also let Jiang Ling 'er know that the mastermind was Zuo Shanyi. It seemed that they had already met, and Zuo Shanyi had also told her about this matter. No wonder Zuo Shanyi had the heart to die that time. If it was not for the fact that he could not bear to force her to stop, he might have promised this little thing something.
"What are you doing!"
What was going on at such a young age? He had thought that this child was very polite and obedient, but it seemed that his personality was not ordinary. He wondered who taught him this.
It was as if he had telepathy with Jiang Ling 'er. Just as Jiang Ling' er could not help but want to pull him away and beat him up, he instantly released his little paws that were hugging Jiang Ling 'er. He giggled at her innocently and said,"If you don't let go, I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death by Furen!”
This little bastard is quite understanding! Knowing that she would be beaten up, she still dared to do this. She was simply asking for a beating. Jiang Ling 'er felt wronged, but she could not say it out loud. She did not understand."I'm going back. I'll definitely do what Little State Preceptor promised you. I promise you today that I'll bring you to my side and ensure your life!”
Mo Ran had just returned to the Elegant Palace when she heard Chun Tao say that Sima Chu Chu had eaten the ginseng she had sent over and was poisoned. She rushed over to investigate the situation.
Poisoning the Queen was a huge matter. Regardless of whether she died or not, it was a huge crime. She didn't expect Sima Chu Chu to act so quickly, wasting her best ginseng.
In the Queen's Palace, the Imperial Physician was in the midst of emergency treatment. Yulong Keji had just been discussing matters with the ministers and had rushed over after receiving the news. He was currently pacing left and right. He was the person who did not want to see Sima Chuchu die the most.
"Why are you here?" When Yulong Keji saw Jiang Ling 'er, he felt a headache coming on. If he hadn't been suppressing her, someone would have already arrested her and thrown her into prison. Instead of staying in the palace, she had to face the tip of a knife.
