Looking at General Sima's expression, Yulong Keji probably guessed the second possibility. General Sima loved his sister deeply, so how could he see his sister die in the Yellow Springs like this? He would definitely not shed all pretense of cordiality to save her. It would probably be a matter of the next few days.
"How do you plan to help?" General Sima was even more confused when he heard this. He looked at Jiang Ling 'er with a deep gaze and felt that he could not see through this woman.
Normally, the person who wanted Sima Chuchu dead the most would be Jiang Ling 'er. Sima Chuchu wanted to frame her and kill her. Repaying evil with good wasn't something that the people of the harem would do.
Imperial Dragon Keji ordered that General Sima was not allowed to get close to Sima Chuchu's bed. Everyone in this room was Imperial Dragon Keji's trusted aide. Since General Sima could not get close, she might be able to.
Jiang Ling 'er pulled General Sima aside and whispered,""General, please give me the antidote. I'll feed it to your sister.”
"How can I trust you?" General Sima frowned. He didn't know if this was a solution, but it also seemed like the only solution. He could only trust Jiang Ling 'er now. General Sima didn't want to expose this window paper with Imperial Dragon Keji.
"Then General Sima, I don't have a choice. Why don't you trust me this once?”Jiang Ling 'er shook her head helplessly and pretended to be helpless.
"I'll give you the antidote, and then you can complain to the Marquis. The evidence is conclusive, and my sister and I will suffer!”General Sima was not a person who would easily trust people. He always felt that things were not that simple. He was afraid that there was a trap. Although Imperial Dragon Keji suspected it, he was not sure. After all, there was no evidence. If the antidote was in the hands of this woman, the evidence would be conclusive.
"If I did that, would the general let me leave this door? "I'm just a little girl. General Sima's martial arts are unparalleled. It's not easy to get the antidote back. Then the evidence will disappear. I really want to save your sister. I don't want you to have any more entanglements with the Marquis. It's not worth it for a little girl like me. It's not easy for the Marquis to ascend the throne. As the Marquis's woman, I should help him solve his problems. Moreover, General Sima has military power and will be of great help to the Marquis." I will not let the matter between the two of you be difficult to resolve. I am doing this for the sake of the Marquis. Whether General Sima believes it or not, I will not mention this to the Marquis, let alone use the antidote as evidence to find the Marquis to punish you.”
General Sima pondered for a long time before he carefully took out the antidote from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Ling 'er. He carefully instructed,"If you save Chuchu, I will never ask you again!”
Jiang Ling 'er took the antidote and went to Sima Chuchu's bedside. She took the opportunity to stuff it into Sima Chuchu's mouth,""The queen's mouth is very dry. Bring a glass of water!”
Sima Chuchu successfully consumed the antidote, and Jiang Ling 'er gave General Sima a knowing smile. General Sima saw this and felt relieved. He was grateful for Jiang Ling' er's righteousness, but he didn't know that Jiang Ling 'er did it for this effect. She was a smart woman, how could she allow herself to make a powerful enemy?
After that, she felt more at ease with General Sima's side. Otherwise, she might be assassinated one day in the palace. The only thing left was the fight between her and Sima Chu Chu. Without General Sima's interference, Sima Chu Chu's little schemes would not make things difficult for her.
It was another morning, and the sun shone all over the house. Jiang Ling 'er woke up from her sleep and slowly opened her eyes. What greeted her eyes was that innocent and cute little face.
Ji Yong squatted by the bed obediently. When he saw that Jiang Ling 'er had woken up, he winked at her mischievously."The Marquis has gone to the morning court. Before he left, he asked Yong 'er to take care of mother!”
Jiang Ling 'er leaned forward and pulled Ji Yong's chubby little face with all her might. She pursed her lips and said with a faint smile,"Why did you call me mother and not father?”
" It hurts... Mother, Yong 'er hurts..." The little devil looked at Jiang Ling' er with a pained expression and big tearful eyes."The Marquis said that you will be my mother in the future, but he doesn't want to be my father!”
Seeing Ji Yong's pitiful look, Jiang Ling 'er couldn't bear to continue pulling. After all, he was still a child. Why did she have to use so much strength? Wasn't it too much?"But I'm not your biological mother either. You don't have to call me that. It sounds a little awkward!”
After all, she had never given birth to a child before. Jiang Ling 'er was a little uncomfortable to be suddenly called that. This was like picking up an elder son for no reason.
Ji Yong kept rubbing his red cheeks with his small hands, tears of grievance falling." This is what the Marquis wants. If I don't call you that, I'm not your son. Then I'll have to go back to the Cold Palace. I don't want to…"
Halfway through his sentence, Ji Yong opened his mouth and burst into tears. Jiang Ling 'er's heart softened when she saw his heartbroken look. She got out of bed and squatted down to hug him in her arms to comfort him."Don't cry. Be good. You're the best!"
No matter how much Jiang Ling 'er coaxed him, Ji Yong could not stop crying. Not only that, he even cried and shouted," Yong 'er doesn't have a mother by his side... no... nothing..."
Jiang Ling 'er's head was in a mess, and she felt as if it was about to explode. How could she know how to coax a child? She had never even raised a child before. Wasn't she fine just now? Why did she cry so suddenly?
This little brat was not like such a fragile child. He could not take it after a few words. When she was groping him, she did not realize that he would be like this."I've already promised to be your mother. Call me whatever you want! You can call me whatever you want!"
Ji Yong continued to cry and grieve, as if Jiang Ling 'er's words were like wind that brushed past his ears. They did not even touch his earlobe, let alone enter his ears.
Jiang Ling 'er was really at her wit's end. She had just woken up and her mind had yet to fully sober up. If she was to be disturbed like this, no one would be able to withstand it."From now on, I will be your mother. If you want to call me mother, I have no objections at all. Please don't cry, little ancestor!"
Zuo Ziyong heard this clearly. Perhaps he felt that this was still a human sentence, but it could still enter his picky little ears. He stopped crying and lowered his head to sob softly. Tears continued to flow out of his eyes."Is that true?"
Jiang Ling 'er saw that he was no longer making a fuss and hurriedly nodded. She struck while the iron was hot and gently stroked the tears on Ji Yong's toot."100 times, 10,000 times, I won't go back on my word!”
Ji Yong pursed his lips and raised his small face. He looked into Jiang Ling 'er's eyes as if he was seriously considering whether Jiang Ling' er's answer was worth believing.
After a while, he tilted his head and observed Jiang Ling 'er's expression carefully. He did not find anything wrong."Then kiss me and I'll believe it. All mothers kiss their children!”
Jiang Ling 'er was completely convinced by him. He even wanted her to kiss him. Wasn't this taking advantage of him in disguise? When she looked into his innocent and big eyes, she felt that she was thinking too badly.
He was just a five-year-old kid, and he wasn't a big man. What was wrong with kissing him? Moreover, she had already promised to be his mother and would have to coax and hug him in the future. It was just kissing a little boy. What was the big deal?
Jiang Linger did not know whether to laugh or cry as she moved her mouth closer to his chubby face and kissed him. Her tears were salty!
A cheerful laughter rang out like a copper bell. Ji Jing grinned, revealing his white baby teeth. He raised his small hand to help Jiang Ling 'er wipe the tears from her mouth."Mother's mouth is so soft and comfortable. Yong 'er likes it!”
This child cried and laughed whenever he wanted to. He was indeed amazing. Jiang Ling 'er was impressed. She did not know if it was because he had such superb acting skills at such a young age or if he was too emotional. After all, he was only a five-year-old child. She did not know if she was thinking too much.
Jiang Ling 'er pushed Ji Yong away with both hands and kept a distance from him. This was a little devil. She had to educate him well from a young age. Otherwise, who knew what he would be like when he grew up?"I'm going to visit the queen. Have fun by yourself. If you want anything to eat or drink, just tell the palace servants to prepare it.”
Ji Yong nodded obediently and said,""Then Yong 'er will go back to the room first. The room is next to mother's. When mother comes back, you have to visit me, okay?”
Jiang Ling 'er had no other way to deal with this innocent face. She could only nod in agreement.
Sima Chuchu's poison had been cured, and the palace maids supported her up to get down. Because her body was weak, although there was no poison left, her body was still in a lot of pain.
"I have to thank little sister for saving me. I heard big brother say that little sister is really a kind person.”Sima Chu Chu's voice was still weak, and her complexion was still not too good.
"To do such a vicious thing to yourself, it's not easy for sister to live!”Jiang Ling 'er would never believe that this was a sincere gratitude. If a woman could do this, she would definitely not let her off easily. This was only the first time. There would be a third and fourth time.
"How about a truce? " I heard that there is a beauty sent by the Xu Nation in the harem. The Marquis likes her very much. Last night, there was another person who was in bed. I'm afraid that in a few days, she will be conferred the title of Madam and be on the same level as you. Since my sister wants to save me, I can't say anything. Why don't we work together to fight against the outside world? Let the harem be our world!"”Sima Chu Chu picked up the medicinal soup on the table and drank it in one gulp. She was expressionless and could not tell if the medicinal soup was bitter or astringent.
Jiang Ling 'er picked up a piece of pastry on the table and took a bite. She felt that it was not very delicious and put it back."My sister and I have never started a war, so how can there be a truce?”
From Sima Chuchu's words just now, she knew where Yulong Keji had gone last night and felt a little unhappy. Yulong Keji's favorite was probably a beautiful thing in her heart, but reality was like that. How could a Marquis have a favorite? Moreover, he was the person she wanted to take revenge on. She instantly felt that her heart was in a mess, like a plate of loose sand that couldn't be pieced together no matter what. However, she couldn't let Sima Chuchu see any clues on the surface.
