It was impossible for someone else to have the same smell. It was a disguise technique. Even if it was difficult to distinguish the face, the figure and fragrance were all the same. When Jiang Ling 'er thought it through, she had already entered the Hundred Flowers House and arrived at the entrance of the Windward Pavilion. It was impossible for her to go back and investigate now. She had no idea where he had gone. Jiang Ling' er was puzzled. Why did he disguise himself?
"The lodge master is here. Shall we have a drink?" He thought that she was a regular customer of the Hundred Flower House. When he saw Jiang Ling 'er enter the hall, he stood up and walked forward with a wine glass.
Jiang Ling 'er took the glass of wine and downed it in one gulp. Then, she went up to the second floor. She had always been polite to the guests of her Hundred Flowers Center. It was fine if she drank this small glass of wine. After all, it was a business, so it was not good to reject it.
"You're finally back!" Seeing Jiang Ling 'er go upstairs, Li Niang went up to her and called her into the house. She closed the door and looked as if she was in great danger.
"He left?" Jiang Ling 'er looked at Li Niang's expression and knew that she had already dealt with it. Ji Jing was not an easy person to talk to. She did not know how Li Niang had gotten rid of him.
"He just left not long ago. At first, he insisted on waiting here for you to come back. Then, a servant came to look for him and left in a hurry!”Li Niang poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jiang Ling 'er. She carefully examined her face and said,""Didn't you say that it would take a few days to recover?”
"Divine Doctor Zhou is a miracle doctor. With just one pill, the swelling disappeared!”Sister Jiang Ling 'er took the cup and drank the water in one gulp. She was really thirsty. She handed the empty cup to Li Niang and gestured for her to have another cup."Shenfu has been out for too long, so he hurried back to the palace!”
"Your lover asked where you went. Guess what I replied?”After Li Niang poured the tea, she sat beside Jiang Ling 'er and said with a wicked smile,""I said you went out with Lord Shen from Ji Country!”
"What did you say? What about his reaction?" Jiang Ling 'er didn't expect Li Niang to mention Shen Fu. She was shocked when she heard that. Wasn't this harming Shen Fu?
"Your reaction is huge. You should make him anxious. Otherwise, how can he think that no one else wants you except him!”Li Niang said excitedly. This was her strategy to force him to marry. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to let him take advantage of her and not know how to marry."I just want to provoke him and make him feel a sense of danger!”
"I already told him that Lord Shen's Hundred Flower House couldn't afford to offend him, and there was nothing he could do about it.”Li Niang thought of the bottles and jars that Ji Jing smashed in anger and her heart ached. Those were all silver! She paused for a moment, sighed deeply, and continued,""I saw that he even had the intention to tear your house apart. After that, someone came to look for him outside the door. They whispered a few words to each other before he left in a hurry.”
The women sent by Ji Country were all of high status in Haojing and treated Shenfu very well, especially Shenfu's biological sister. Back then, the Marquis of Ji Country had recognized her as an adopted daughter and conferred her the title of princess. She was sent to Haojing and stayed by the king's side, receiving a lot of love.
Everyone knew about the King's favorite concubine. Everyone knew that Shen Si was the daughter of the State Uncle Shen of Ji Country. She had a younger brother, Shen Fu, who was an official in the imperial court of Ji Country and was loved by the Marquis of Ji Country. Therefore, although Shen Fu did not come to Haojing often, he was still a famous figure and had not married yet. Now that he had come to Haojing, how could he not make use of her? Moreover, it was true that Jiang Ling 'er had gone out with Shen Fu.
"Did he say anything before he left?”Jiang Ling 'er's brows were tightly knitted, and her face was filled with worry. She put down the empty cup in her hand and anxiously waited for Li Niang's reply.
"He didn't say anything and just left like that. Look at how nervous you are.”Li Niang smiled at Jiang Ling 'er as if she was waiting for him to propose marriage.
"Do you know that you've caused Shen Fu a lot of trouble?”Jiang Linglie stood up and looked at Li Niang, who was furious. She felt uneasy. Shen Fu was slightly better than other rich children and noble sons. After all, he was a relative of the emperor and held an official position. He was also the special envoy to the Zhou Dynasty to send off his marriage. He was blessed by the king, but compared to the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou, he was as light as a feather.
"I just wanted to use Young Master Shen to provoke him. I wanted him to know that you have a better choice so that he would be anxious to marry you!”Seeing Jiang Lin 'er like this, Li Niang also panicked.
She remembered that not long after the Hundred Flower House opened, there was also a young master from a noble family who came to harass Jiang Ling 'er. She used the excuse that the owner of the house was Shen Fu's woman to scare them away. Li Niang thought that if he wanted to marry Jiang Ling' er, he would not back down. Instead, he would be more proactive.
"He's different!" Jiang Ling 'er was upset and didn't want to explain further. She slammed the door and left Li Niang's room, returning to her own room to sit and hesitate.
"Yes, your sweetheart is indeed different.”Li Niang saw that her good intentions had caused a bad thing, so she went back to her room to rest in disappointment.
In the palace, all the ministers had ugly expressions, and the clouds above their heads were filled with worry. Crown Prince Ji Jing stood among them.
"They are rebelling!" King Li of Zhou jumped up from his dragon throne in exasperation and shouted angrily,"You bunch of trash, come up with a plan!”
All the officials spoke one after another, but none of them could say anything. Their analysis was also a mess. They knew very well what kind of temper their king had. How could they dare to speak the truth? How could they dare to speak bluntly?
The king was in a bad mood after not coming to a conclusion. He was unwilling to be angry at these mediocre officials in his eyes. He ordered everyone to disperse and went to drink and make merry to soothe his emotions.
King Li of Zhou, Ji Hu, ascended to the throne at the age of fifty. He was arrogant, despotic, cruel, and heartless. He was also a living pervert. How could such a person make everyone submit? How could the country not be in chaos?
"If the situation is out of control, I will definitely protect the Crown Prince!”After the officials dispersed, Duke Zhao stopped Ji Jing and said,""The Duke of Zhou will also stand on the Crown Prince's side!”
Ji Jing nodded and did not speak. After a moment of silence, he politely bid farewell to the Duke of Zhao and returned to the Crown Prince Palace. He wanted to be close to the Duke of Zhao, but because of the King, he had to stay away from all the officials, lest the suspicious King Li of Zhou thought that he had the intention to usurp the throne. The palace was full of King Li of Zhou's eyes and ears. He had heard the Duke of Zhao's words and understood them. There was no need to answer. The Duke of Zhao knew in his heart.
"For a woman? Or for the country?" A man's voice suddenly sounded in Ji Jing's bedroom. He was wearing a light purple robe and a mask with golden cherry blossoms on it. It covered half of his face, and only his eyes and sharp chin were exposed.
"Owner of Hundred Flower House, all countries that want to rebel are waiting for you!”Ji Jingcong rolled over and got off the bed. He was only wearing a thin robe, and his hair was draped over his shoulders, resting on his strong arms."Young Master Sorrow has graced us with your presence.”
"Look at how polite you are. I really came at the wrong time. You're transferring the awkwardness in your heart to me!”Yulong Keji smiled as he leaned against the window. He took off his mask, revealing his handsome and exquisite face. His figure was as soft as a willow. If he was a woman, he would be extremely alluring and irresistible.
"I heard that the lodge master is a beauty. Earlier, she was harassed by the young master of your noble family, claiming that she was the younger brother of the King's favorite concubine, Shen Furen, and the woman of Shen Fu, the son of the Ji Country's uncle. She even threatened that young master of your noble family not to publicize it. Shen Fu is currently in the palace, and you can ask him for confirmation.”
"There's no need to verify!" When Ji Jing thought of Jiang Ling 'er, he was furious. After listening to Yulong Keji's rambling, he was even more furious. It seemed that Jiang Ling' er had a connection with Shenfu. He really wanted to rush to Shenfu's residence and kill him!
"Looks like you really like her!" Seeing him grit his teeth to calm his emotions and swallow his ninjato, Yulong Keichi couldn't help but laugh."Interesting, really interesting!"
Yulong Keji was a regular guest of the palace. He came and went as he pleased. The high walls could not stop him from entering and leaving freely. His martial arts were unfathomable. On the surface, he was a merchant of the Zhou Dynasty, but he had a wide network of friends in private. All the heroes in the martial arts world followed his lead. The scholars and nobles of various countries also had dealings with him. His power could not be underestimated.
"You know me very well, but I can't understand you. Even though we've known each other for many years, I can't be your friend. I don't even know your name!”Ji Jing put away his emotions and walked to Yulong Keji's side. He took the golden mask with cherry blossom patterns from his hand and played with it in his hand. He seemed serious and absent-minded.
"You only saved my life. Why do you have so many requests? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you save me!”Yulong Keji smiled wickedly, and everything turned gray. He snatched the mask back and handed it back to Ji Jing. He was neither unwilling nor unhappy."If you like it, I'll give it to you!"
The act of snatching and handing over seemed cumbersome and useless, but in reality, the intention was obvious. One was telling the other that the thing taken from his hand was not his own. Only if he was willing and personally gave it away could he own it.
Although Yulong Keji owed Ji Jing a life, if one day Ji Jing asked him to repay the debt, as long as Yulong Keji didn't personally request for it and was willing to agree, then there would be no way to repay the debt. Ji Jing wasn't a stupid person, so he naturally knew what his intentions were.
"You're busy. You definitely didn't come here to catch up with me. If you have anything to say, say it!”Ji Jing took the mask and threw it on the ground not far away. It was as if he was retaliating. He was proud. He didn't want it, and it was useless even if he wanted to give it to Yulong Keji.
"I'm just clearing the accounts!" After Imperial Dragon Keji finished speaking, he leisurely walked to Ji Jing's bed and lay down casually. He stretched his arms comfortably and yawned, very satisfied.
"You want to pay with your body? I don't like men!" Ji Jing stood where he was and didn't move. He didn't stop the Dragon Restrain Self. He knew that this person wasn't simple. If he wanted to repay his debt, he wouldn't do it this way.
