"Is this woman that important to you? I just don't like the woman you like. You haven't been to my place for the past few days. So what if I kill her!”Jiang Ling 'er was going all out. She didn't know what the Imperial Dragon Keji would do to her. At most, she could go to the Cold Palace and enjoy a peaceful life.
"What's wrong with you? I originally thought that you were a generous and sensible woman. I didn't expect that once you entered the harem, you would become someone else. I've already doted on you. Ruining my great plan!" Imperial Dragon Keji didn't know what was wrong with him. To him, the great cause of a thousand years had always been more important than a woman. Why was his heart aching? Looking at Jiang Ling 'er's expression, he couldn't remain indifferent.
"Generous? Which woman knows that the man she likes is also in love with another woman? He doesn't care about her existence and neglects her. The only love in the past is no longer there, but he can still be generous. It's not that this palace has changed me. I have never changed. I grew up in this kind of environment since I was young. I have seen many schemes and plots. I don't use those methods. So what if I do it openly? I thought you were a special existence. Who knew that you were no different from other men!”Jiang Ling 'er was so angry that she didn't know what to say. When she spoke, her eyes were red. She didn't know why she was sad. Was controlling the dragon and restraining herself really a different existence to her? Who was that Ji Jing? These were the words that she had never dared to say in her heart. She had always resisted the words in her heart, but when she was excited, she actually blurted them out. Even she herself felt surprised.
"You're acting like a little woman and don't know how to consider the big picture. I've misjudged you and liked you wrongly!”Imperial Dragon Keji revealed a disappointed look. He had thought that Jiang Ling 'er would help him at all costs and that her love for him was selfless. He did not expect her to be like other women. Not only was she of no help to him, but she would also drag him down and cause him trouble.
The trouble today was proof, but what about the trouble tomorrow and the day after? What he wanted was power, status, and the world. He did not want to be ruined by such a woman. He would never be so angry for a woman, but now he was furious.
"Have you ever liked me? Have you really fallen in love with someone? You don't understand feelings at all! If you knew, you would believe me regardless of everything!”Jiang Ling 'er pointed angrily at the Imperial Dragon in the sky. She had forgotten about being a minister, concubine, or marquis, and directly addressed him as you and me.
Yulong Keji did not want to continue arguing with her. In just a short while, rumors would probably start spreading in the palace tomorrow. The Madam was not the Madam, and the Marquis was not the Marquis. It was completely the two young couples who were quarreling.
At this moment, the guards carried out the corpses from the goods supply. Imperial Dragon Keji went forward to check. When he saw the woman's face, his heart instantly fell to the bottom of the valley. How was he going to explain this to Marquis Xu? He was afraid that Marquis Xu would be furious and his plan would be ruined. Was the heavens not helping him? No, it was all Jiang Ling 'er's fault. If she hadn't been jealous, this wouldn't have happened.
"Men, take Furen to the prison and wait for her punishment!”Imperial Dragon Restrain's hope was shattered, and he could not help but be angry. He had already been blinded by fire and completely ignored the concept of feelings.
"The Marquis is really protective of ChenQie. Hello, you are very good!”Jiang Ling 'er was also angry. She felt wronged. She clearly didn't do it. Could it be that she really couldn't tell? Or was his mind muddled by his own ambition? Was a woman who was of value to him so important that she was more important than their relationship in the past?
"You don't have to do anything. I'll leave by myself! It wasn't like he hadn't been to the prison before! You're familiar with it!" Jiang Ling 'er pushed away the guard's hand and turned around to walk forward.
It was not the first time she had been in prison. It was just that she did not have anyone to accompany her this time. It could be considered a habit. In a short period of time, she had been in prison twice. It was difficult not to be used to it.
Three days had passed in a row, but Imperial Dragon Keji had not come to see her. He probably did not care anymore. Jiang Ling 'er felt inexplicably sad. Perhaps she was used to being doted on by Imperial Dragon Keji and was suddenly not used to it.
Suddenly, someone came to the prison to see Jiang Ling 'er. He had white hair and a beard that reached his chest. He looked like a Taoist, but there was no immortal aura on his face. Instead, there was an elusive evil.
"Greetings, Madam." After he bowed to Jiang Ling 'er, the jailer immediately opened the cell door and let him in.
It turned out that this person was Gui Zhi, the national master of Chu State, and also Zuo Shanyi's foster father. It was said that he knew astronomy and geography, and was well-versed in various countries. He was quite capable.
"May I know why Imperial Preceptor is here?" Jiang Ling 'er did not beat around the bush and asked directly. There was no need to be tactful with such a person.
No one knew who he was. He was the left and right arm of the former prince, and he wholeheartedly assisted the former prince. Now that the former prince had passed away and Yulong had become the emperor, he was not convinced by Yulong's self-restraint. He had experienced it from Zuo Shanyi, so he would not come to visit her in prison for no reason. Moreover, the son of the former prince was now being raised by her, and something had happened. This time, it was not simple.
"This lowly official is here to visit Furen and conveniently ask where Little Lord is currently?”Ghost Know spoke politely, but he was worried. He wanted to visit Ji Yong, but when he arrived at the Elegant Palace, he did not see Ji Yong. Otherwise, he would not have come to the prison to ask Jiang Ling 'er.
That was the only lifeline of the former prince. He had a deep relationship with the former prince and wholeheartedly assisted him in becoming the Marquis of Chu. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. There was no point in him being upset. Only by protecting Ji Yong could he feel more comfortable.
"Imperial Preceptor, please speak further. The walls have ears!”Jiang Ling 'er understood why he was here, so she might as well make things clear to him. Ji Yong's life was more important, and the Imperial Advisor seemed to be worried about Ji Yong. With his power, he could contend with the Sima Clan.
Jiang Ling 'er told Ghost Know the ins and outs of the matter in detail. Ghost Know nodded and said,"Thank you for your love for the Little Lord. I thank you on behalf of the previous prince. This is his only lifeline. I will do my best to protect his life and save him. I will not forget your kindness and will do my best to make sure that you are safe!”
"Thank you, Imperial Preceptor!" Jiang Ling 'er finally felt at ease. She had always been worried about that good son. Since Ghost Know was willing to help, that was the best thing that could happen. As long as Ji Yong was fine, she could do anything.
Before Ghost Knows left, he turned back to look at Jiang Ling 'er and smiled strangely."My foster son begged me to save you for three consecutive days. It seems that the relationship between the two of you is not ordinary!”
Jiang Ling 'er was stunned for a moment. So Zuo Shanyi missed him so much. Indeed, Zuo Shanyi definitely couldn't tell Gui Zhi that he had saved Zuo Shanyi in the palace and that she was his savior. Otherwise, Gui Zhi would be suspicious of Jiang Ling' er. This would inevitably make Gui Zhi overthink their relationship.
"Shan Yi has always been grateful to me for adopting Yong 'er, and he believes that I am someone who has done him a favor. So many things are reasonable. Shan Yi is a person who values relationships and righteousness.”Jiang Ling 'er's words were neither warm nor angry. Although it seemed like an explanation, she was actually telling Gui Zhi to treat Zuo Shanyi better. However, she didn't say it clearly. Gui Zhi seemed to understand, but he couldn't say anything or think too much about it.
Not long after Ghost Knows walked out of the prison, Imperial Dragon Keji came again. There was no emotion on his face, and there was no longing in his eyes. It was as if he was looking at her as if she was a stranger, without any emotion.
"Why did Imperial Preceptor come to find you?" Imperial Dragon Keji's expression was as stiff as his tone, making Jiang Ling 'er feel uncomfortable.
Her past feelings for him seemed to have disappeared in an instant. Jiang Ling 'er couldn't feel anything now. She was even colder and stiffer than when she first saw him.
How could a person's feelings change so easily? Jiang Ling 'er couldn't understand it. Was the world more important than feelings? Should she be cut into pieces as long as she hurt the world in his heart?
"The state preceptor just came to see what I look like, nothing else!”How could Jiang Ling 'er tell him the truth? She was not that stupid. With his cold-blooded nature, if he knew that something had happened to Ji Yong, he might even stab him again.
Imperial Dragon Keji threatened," Marquis Xu has already fallen out with me. I'm already giving face by not handing you over for him to deal with. You'd better tell me everything the state preceptor told you. Otherwise, we'll no longer be husband and wife!"”
"Have we ever been husband and wife?" Jiang Ling 'er smiled bitterly. She wasn't even sure if she had it, so how could it still be considered as having it? If the relationship between husband and wife was this unbearable, she would rather not have it!
Imperial Dragon Keji stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Ling 'er's clothes tightly. His eyes were filled with killing intent."You really don't want to say anything and want to go against me? Don't think that just because you're Miss Yun Zhi of the Ji Nation, I won't dare to do anything to you!”
There was nothing he could do now. Chu was facing a huge crisis, and Marquis Xu was no longer supporting him. The only thing he could do now was to offer his beloved woman to her. His coldness and ruthlessness towards Jiang Ling 'er were all fake. He was afraid that Jiang Ling' er would be sad when he sent her away. Instead of making her feel heartache, it was better to break her heart. That way, she wouldn't know pain.
Yulong Keji released his hand and said coldly,""Ji Jing likes you very much and should still be unable to forget you. Then I'll follow his wishes and send you to his side!”
"What did you say?" When Jiang Ling 'er heard Ji Jing's name, she looked at Imperial Dragon Keji nervously.""Isn't Ji Jing already dead? We all saw it with our own eyes!"
"Then you have seen me use a human skin mask. We were careless. It was just a fake face!”Yulong Keji sighed. It was indeed his negligence that allowed Ji Jing to have a chance to turn things around.
The current pressure on Chu came from Ji Jing. King Li of Zhou was dead, and he was assisted by Duke Zhao to ascend to the throne. The one who died that day was Duke Zhao's biological son, not Ji Jing himself. The human skin mask was made by the same person as the one he had used before. It was the divine doctor of Haojing. It was ridiculous to say that things had become ironic.
