On the wide phoenix bed covered by a red gauze curtain, Zhao Ji pricked up her ears to listen to the footsteps that were getting farther and farther away.
When Ying Zheng's footsteps completely disappeared, it was obvious that he had left the main hall and arrived outside.
At this moment, Concubine Zhao's face instantly darkened. Without a word, she raised her beautiful foot and kicked hard.
"Empress Dowager, be gentle!" " Ah!" Jiang Li cried out in pain. Then, he was kicked to the ground and fell onto the jade floor.
The second time, he was kicked down by Lady Zhao. He was filled with sorrow, but he could not flare up.
Jiang Li stood up from the floor with a bitter smile. He was extremely embarrassed. He didn't know whether to leave or not.
If he left, it would mean that all his previous efforts would be in vain. Although Zhao Ji asked him to leave the State of Qin and not kill him, who could guess the thoughts of a woman? Perhaps in less than two days, they would turn hostile and settle scores after autumn, taking his life.
What should she do if she didn't leave? Empress Dowager Ji was obviously in a fit of anger. Her eyes were so cold that it was as if she wanted to eat someone up.
Thinking about how he had pinched Empress Dowager Ji's foot because he couldn't help himself, Jiang Li wanted to give himself a tight slap. What a cheap hand. He had almost passed the test, but now he was back to square one.
On the bed, Lady Zhao ignored Jiang Li. Her eyes were bone-chilling as she shouted angrily,""Hurry up and get lost. If BenGong changes her mind, you won't be able to escape death.”
Looking at Empress Dowager Ji's cold and beautiful face, Jiang Li prayed to the heavens to let him win again.
After the prayer, a smile appeared on Jiang Li's handsome face. He walked to the edge of the bed and climbed onto it under Empress Dowager Ji's astonished and shocked gaze. Then, he turned over and hugged her.
In a moment, Zhao Ji woke up. Her eyes were cold as she shouted,"How dare you! If you don't scram, this Queen will definitely annihilate your three clans.”
Jiang Li pretended not to hear her. His eyes were filled with obsession as he sighed." Now that things have come to this, in order to preserve the Empress Dowager's reputation, Jiang Li is willing to die to atone for his sins. Before he dies, Jiang Li just wants to hug the Empress Dowager for a moment. After all, the Empress Dowager is the first woman in Jiang Li's 18 years of life. I don't want to leave with regrets.”
He once again emphasized how pitiful he was. He was a virgin with a bright future, but he was killed by a thief.
Hearing this, Zhao Ji was embarrassed and angry. She raised her hand and wanted to slap him.
When her hand was in the air, Zhao Ji suddenly stopped. Her heart softened. Her eyes were fixed on two sides of Jiang Li's face. There were two very eye-catching palm prints on them. They were the ones she had slapped earlier.
Glancing at Jiang Li's bloodied right palm, which was badly bandaged, Zhao Ji had a complicated look in her eyes. Her expression gradually eased as she sighed softly,""How did bengong meet a fellow like you, a one-track minded bookworm.”
Jiang Li felt much more at ease after hearing that. He had won the bet again. The benefits of knowing history were once again shown.
Although Concubine Zhao was the Empress Dowager of the State of Qin, she was not interested in power. She was essentially a small woman. Otherwise, she would not have connived at Lao Ai's rebellion in the future.
To put it simply, if Zhao Ji, who had never experienced love, fell in love with someone, she would lose her mind and rationality and become a clingy person. She would give everything, even Ying Zheng would be ranked behind.
At the thought of this, Jiang Li's mind spun, searching for romantic words that were suitable for the current situation.
There was nothing he could do. Mr. Li was so pitiful now. In order to save his life, he had to sacrifice himself.
After a while, words of love that tugged at his heartstrings and warmed his heart emerged in Jiang Li's mind. Even though he felt disgusted and his face burned when he said it, he had to say it.
After a while, Jiang Li held Lady Zhao's hands and said affectionately,""Although it was a freak combination of circumstances, but…you caught me off guard and caught me off guard.”
" I don't know where my love comes from, but I'm deeply devoted. There are three thousand lives in the world, and there are three loves in the world. The sun and moon are with you. The sun is the morning, the moon is the evening, and you are the morning and evening.”
" Li has crossed mountains and waded through water. He has seen the cycle of the revival of all things. Now, the mountain is you, and the water is you.”
" Shut up…" Lady Zhao shouted shyly. She covered Jiang Li's mouth with her hand, telling him to stop talking.
What was in this dog's head? Why was it filled with such nonsense?
Jiang Li's mouth was suddenly covered. He meowed at Lady Zhao's flushed face and knew that he had not spoken in vain.
After a while, Concubine Zhao let go of her hand and glared at him with a shy expression."If you speak nonsense again, bengong will order people to drag you out and behead you.”
Hearing that, Jiang Li thought of something. He ran down the Phoenix Tower to look for his painting scroll and brush.
Uncle Bastard said that Empress Dowager Ji liked the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and music. He could only cater to her preferences and prescribe the right medicine.
On the other side, Lady Zhao frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Li's running figure in confusion.
What is this dog doing now?
About fifteen minutes later, Jiang Li returned the way he came with a scroll. He obediently handed the scroll to Empress Dowager Ji without saying a word, motioning for her to take it.
He glanced at the scroll in front of him. There were words on it, but they were upside down and needed to be flipped over to read.
"Could it be that I told this dog to shut up, and he stopped talking and started writing?”
Zhao Ji couldn't help but laugh in anger. She rolled her eyes at him and took the scroll to see what he was up to.
Turning the scroll over and looking at the contents, Lady Zhao's beautiful eyes froze and she was instantly stunned.
The phoenix seeks the phoenix--Li presents his beloved concubine.
There was a beautiful woman who never forgot her.
Not seeing for a moment, I miss you like crazy.
Phoenixes fly in the four seas to seek the phoenix.
But the beauty is in the palace wall.
I use words to express my feelings.
I hope Li and Ji will join hands.
He couldn't let Fei make Li fall and perish.
Whoosh!
Lady Zhao threw the painting away abruptly, feeling flustered. She looked at Jiang Li in embarrassment and scolded,""Who told you to write it? Get lost, bengong doesn't want to see you.”
"Ah…"
Jiang Li was laughing in his heart. He picked up the painting and placed it beside Empress Dowager Ji without saying a word.
"Take it and scram, bengong doesn't want this thing.”
Zhao Ji grabbed the painting and threw it away.
"Alright, I'll bear with it. When I turn over a new leaf and sing, I'll settle the old scores.”Jiang Li thought to himself.
Then, he picked up the scroll again and placed it next to Empress Dowager Ji. The meaning in his eyes was obvious. Unless you tear it apart, I'll pick it up every time you throw it away.
Whoosh!
Zhao Ji threw the painting away and flew into a rage out of humiliation."If you dare to pick it up again, I will throw you into the Tooth Devouring Prison and lock you up for thirty years.”
However, Jiang Li turned a blind eye to it. He picked up the scroll and returned to the bed. This time, he put it in Lady Zhao's hand so that she could throw it away more easily.
" You…" Zhao Ji wanted to throw it again, but just as she raised her hand, she put it down again and scolded helplessly,""Are you a scoundrel? To think that you're the Art Saint and the Poet Immortal. Don't you understand what I'm saying?”
Jiang Li pointed at his mouth and asked with his eyes," Can I speak?"
Zhao Ji felt a headache coming on, but she also wanted to laugh. She said coldly,"Continue to shut up."
？？？
What kind of person was this!
Jiang Li had no choice but to remain silent. He stared blankly at a certain empress dowager.
Ignoring this annoying fellow, Lady Zhao opened the scroll and stared at the words on it with a frown.
The phoenix seeks the phoenix--Li presents his beloved concubine.
There was a beautiful woman who never forgot her.
Not seeing for a moment, I miss you like crazy.
Phoenixes fly in the four seas to seek the phoenix.
But the beauty is in the palace wall.
I use words to express my feelings.
I hope Li and Ji will join hands.
He couldn't let Fei make Li fall and perish.
After reading it carefully a few times, Ms. Zhao's heart beat faster, and a trace of sweetness flowed in her heart. Even she herself did not notice that the corners of her mouth had curled up into a smile.
Jiang Li, who was playing dumb, laughed secretly and was quite pleased with himself.
Women in ancient times were still better, especially women in the backyard of the palace. They didn't know what was going on, so they casually adapted Sima Xiangru's half of the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, and immediately hit the bull's eye. Cupid's arrow didn't miss.
After a while, Lady Zhao put away the painting and threw it beside her pillow. She looked up at the silly Jiang Li and said unhappily,""What are you still standing here for? Quickly leave, bengong doesn't want to see you."
It was to leave quickly, not to get lost!
Jiang Li grasped the main point. He climbed onto the phoenix bed and hugged Empress Dowager Ji. He said affectionately,""I'm not leaving. Li likes the Empress Dowager. Just like what was written on the scroll, I miss her crazily when I don't see her for a moment. Unfortunately, the beauty is in the palace wall and can't fly, causing Li to fall.”
"Shut up." Lady Zhao blushed when she heard that. She raised her hand to push Jiang Li away, but she couldn't. She frowned and said,""If you still don't leave, bengong will really call for help.”
Jiang Li shamelessly leaned his head forward and rested it on Empress Dowager Ji's shoulder. He looked into her eyes and said softly,""I won't leave. I can't do without the Empress Dowager.”
"Go away for bengong." Lady Zhao glared at him coldly." I'm already being magnanimous by sparing your life. This is my bedroom. Do you still want to stay here?"”
Striking while the iron was hot was the only way to break a stone. How could Jiang Li leave now? If he left now, all his previous efforts would be wasted and his life would be in danger.
Thus, he took a deep breath, causing his face to slowly turn pale. Beads of sweat began to gather on his cheeks and forehead.
Zhao Ji, who was about to continue berating him, paused. She looked at Jiang Li's face, which was getting paler and paler, and the beads of sweat on his face, which were getting thicker and thicker.
After a while, Jiang Li did not get better. Instead, his condition worsened. Lady Zhao said nervously,""You…What happened to you?"
"I'm…I'm fine." Jiang Li forced a smile. He waved his left hand and said weakly,""There should be too much blood flowing out and it injured his vitality.”
Glancing at the injured dog paw, Zhao Ji felt a little guilty. She had used scissors to cut this wound, and it had bled a lot.
She only wanted to scare him, but who knew that this dog would not dodge and let her stab him.
Grabbing Jiang Li's injured dog paw, Lady Zhao examined it. The bleeding had stopped. It would take at least a month for the wound to heal.
"Let go of me first. I'll order the imperial physician to come and take a look at you.”
"I won't let go. I can't breathe if I can't see the Empress Dowager.”
"You…"
Zhao Ji glared at him and couldn't be bothered to care about him anymore. It was best if he died of illness. Out of sight, out of mind.
