"Younger Sister is not interested in the internal strife of the harem. As the Queen, Elder Sister should know that the Marquis does not belong to any woman. He belongs to the entire harem. Yesterday, there was me, today there is her, and the day after tomorrow, who knows who else will be there. If Elder Sister wants to harm them one by one, who knows when it will end. In the end, she may also anger the Marquis and kill herself. As the saying goes, one can't live with one's own sins. Has Elder Sister not remembered this lesson? General Sima almost couldn't save you!”Jiang Ling 'er looked at Sima Chuchu with a serious expression. She wasn't warning her, but lecturing her, educating this woman who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
This time, Sima Chuchu had only hurt her, not really hurt her, so she could be considered to have let her go. Jiang Ling 'er did not want her to die. If Sima Chuchu died, then the harem would be lonely, and she would be lonely. Moreover, she was not a cruel and vicious person. If she killed Sima Chuchu, how would she be different from Sima Chuchu?
Sima Chuchu clenched her fists tightly, her expression a little hesitant. She never thought that Jiang Ling 'er would start lecturing her. Who was Jiang Ling' er? She had been loved and respected by her family since she was young, and no one had ever dared to speak to her like this. She could not help but feel angry,""Miss Yunzhi, don't think that just because you're the daughter of Marquis Ji, you dare to be so impudent in front of me. No matter what, this is Chu. My brother is the general of Chu, and I'm the queen above you. Who do you think you are?”
Jiang Ling 'er remained silent. She felt that Sima Chuchu was beyond saving and would sooner or later kill herself, so she didn't want to waste any more time talking to her.
What kind of person did Sima Chuchu think Yulong Keji was? Could he be a muddle-headed person? Or someone who was soft-hearted and cared about friendship? He was not. The reason why Yulong Keji turned a blind eye and pretended not to know about this matter and let the siblings go was because he was afraid of General Sima's military power. However, such good days would not last long. With power above the master, Yulong Keji would not allow the Sima Clan to suppress him. One day, he would counterattack and cause the Sima Clan to collapse. He would not allow any threat to exist. The future of General Sima would depend on whether the siblings were smart or not. However, from the looks of it, the siblings were not smart people.
"Different paths lead to different plans. Younger Sister and Elder Sister are not on the same path, so it is not good to stay here, lest Elder Sister happens to make Younger Sister angry and get sick again. Then General Sima will not put my small favors in his eyes. Since Elder Sister wants to deal with that beauty, Younger Sister will not interfere and will pretend that she does not know anything.”Jiang Ling 'er stood up and wanted to leave. She really couldn't stay in this place any longer. She couldn't stand looking at Sima Chu Chu.
"Since Younger Sister doesn't want to stay, then Elder Sister won't stop you. But Younger Sister, remember, in this harem, having one more helper is better than having one more enemy. I want to deal with that woman, Younger Sister better not meddle, or else I won't let Younger Sister have an easy time!”Sima Chu Chu seemed to be threatening, but it wasn't a threat.
Sima Chuchu looked at Jiang Ling 'er's back as she left and cast an unhappy glance at her. She really didn't know if Jiang Ling' er was really magnanimous or if she was just putting on an act in front of her. In fact, she secretly wanted to kill that woman more than she did.
Jiang Ling 'er lowered her head and walked quickly. Her heart was filled with discomfort. Sima Chuchu's words kept repeating in her ears. Why would she be so calculative when she went to another woman's place to control the dragon?
As Jiang Ling 'er walked, she was blocked by something as hard as a wall. She looked up and saw that it was not a wall, but Zuo Shanyi's chest.
Elder Zuo Shanyi saw Jiang Ling 'er's strange expression from afar, as if she had lost her soul. He was worried that something had happened, so he walked towards her.
Today, he had specially come to thank her. During the meeting, he had heard from Yulong Keji that the orphan of his previous life had been sent to Qingya Palace to be raised by Jiang Ling 'er. He thought that Jiang Ling' er had done it on her own accord and was extremely grateful.
Zuo Shanyi took a step back and asked nervously,""Did something happen to my benefactor?”
Jiang Ling 'er touched her aching forehead and glanced at the stoic face in front of her. She didn't know whether to blame him or forget about it. She couldn't blame him for bumping into her, but she could only blame herself for not looking at the road. She couldn't blame him for hurting herself, but she could only blame her head for not being hard enough.
"Nothing much. I just went to see the Queen.”Jiang Ling 'er looked around vigilantly. After all, she was in the palace and there were eyes everywhere.
Jiang Ling 'er was filled with bitterness. She had only just confirmed that she liked Ji Jing, but why was she so confused about the matter of controlling the dragon? What was wrong with her? She couldn't treat Ji Jing like this. She suddenly felt that she had let Ji Jing down. When she saw Zuo Shanyi, she couldn't help but feel even more upset.
It was fine if no one asked, but since someone had already asked, his heart seemed to have collapsed immediately. He could not suppress it, but he wanted to suppress it with force."Why are you here with good intentions?"
Zuo Shanyi replied respectfully,""I originally wanted to go to my benefactor's place to thank him, but who knew that I would bump into him on the way.”
Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Ling 'er felt empty and panicked. She suddenly took a step forward and leaned into Zuo Shanyi's arms,""Let me lean on you for a while, just a while…"
She felt so tired that she was about to collapse. She couldn't face the dead Ji Jing, nor could she face the feelings in her heart. It was as if she had fallen into an inexplicable place. Everything had become unfamiliar. It was as if she wasn't herself, and her heart had become out of her control.
Zuo Shanyi was shocked by her actions. He carefully looked around for fear of being seen by others. He never thought that Jiang Ling 'er would be so weak. He couldn't help but wonder what could have hit her like this.
He really wanted to know what had happened, but he didn't dare to ask. He could only stand there foolishly with his hands spread out. He didn't dare to move his body, nor did he dare to reach out to touch her. He could only let Jiang Ling 'er's face turn pale in his arms.
This scene was coincidentally seen by Sima Chuchu's personal palace maid who was passing by. She was worried about her master and couldn't find a way to deal with Jiang Ling 'er. How could she let go of such a golden opportunity? She smiled sinisterly and left happily. She quickened her pace and rushed back to report to her master and think of some sinister and vicious plan to frame him.
With the beauty around, Zuo Shanyi was so flustered that he did not notice the person who was passing by in the dark. Otherwise, with his martial arts, he would have noticed it.
After a while, Jiang Ling 'er got up and moved out of his arms. She smiled gratefully at him and said,"Thank you for your kindness. I'm in a much better mood now.”
Zuo Shanyi quickly regained his composure. He didn't know what had happened to him just now, but his mind was empty and he couldn't think of anything. It was as if his ability to think was controlled by some powerful force."I wonder if the little prince is doing well with our benefactor? Did he give his benefactor any trouble?”
After venting her anger, Jiang Ling 'er felt much more relaxed and her mood stabilized a little. She sorted out her emotions and said,"Everything is fine. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Yong 'er. He is only five years old, so he won't cause me any trouble!”
How could he not cause trouble? He was just a little pervert and a little hooligan. Moreover, he looked innocent and innocent on the surface, making people unable to say anything. When Jiang Ling 'er thought of this, the smile on her face became unnatural. However, she couldn't say it out loud to make Zuo Shanyi worry. Moreover, how could she say these words? It was as if she was trying to argue with a baby. If she said it out loud, it would be petty. She didn't want to lose the face of Miss Ji Yunzhi.
"That's good." Zuo Shanyi subconsciously lowered his head to look at his chest, feeling a little shy. He continued,""During today's meeting, I heard the Marquis mention this matter, and I knew that it must be the work of my benefactor. My benefactor saved my life, and this is a great favor. I'm afraid that I won't be able to repay my benefactor's kindness in this lifetime. Even if I have to repay it with my life one day, it wouldn't be too much.”
Jiang Ling 'er waved her hand and said," You're being too kind. It's not up to me to decide. It's mainly up to the Marquis. The Marquis originally intended to let me raise Yong' er. It's not something I can ask for just because I want it."”
"I heard that the Queen was poisoned. At first, the blame was directed at my benefactor. Fortunately, the truth was revealed. When my benefactor was in prison, I thought that if the Marquis wanted to punish my benefactor, I would rush into prison to save him.”Zuo Shanyi really thought so. The harem was never a peaceful place. Regardless of whether Jiang Ling 'er was the one who poisoned her, he would never let anything happen to her.
"It's all in the past. You don't have to worry about it. The harem is just like this. There will be more things in the future. We have to use our wits and not force.”Jiang Ling 'er looked at him sincerely, hoping to get an affirmative answer from him.
If she had the help of Zuo Shanyi's forces and the former subordinates of the First Prince, then General Sima would not be able to do anything to her in the court.
Although General Sima had said that he would not make things difficult for her, the world was unpredictable. That was just empty talk. She still had to make other plans for herself. Otherwise, if General Sima turned hostile and refused to acknowledge her because of her younger sister, she would not know what to do.
If she wanted to establish prestige in the entire harem to protect herself, she first had to consolidate her backing. Imperial Dragon Keji could protect her for a while, but it could not protect her for a lifetime. She needed more support. Moreover, this man's matter had changed so easily. So what if he could pamper her alone today?
Zuo Shanyi looked at Jiang Ling 'er. He understood what she meant. He nodded his head vigorously and raised three fingers to make an oath."I, Zuo Shanyi, will always be good to my benefactor. As long as my benefactor asks me to do something, I will definitely complete it!”
"Always be good to me? Why do you say that you have feelings for us? It's like a child's love story!”Jiang Ling 'er looked at his serious and stiff face and couldn't help but tease him a little to ease the heavy atmosphere.
