Chapter two hundred and sixteen

Seeing that the room was too dark, Li vaguely glanced at the smile on the corner of Jiang Chengjia's mouth, and a layer of goose bumps appeared in his heart. He stood up on his own initiative, took the fire note placed next to the lamp, and lit a lamp for Jiang Chengjia.

"Since you are awake, just light another lamp. Carefully, the room is too dark and hurts your eyes." She still maintained a gentle and kind look, generous and modest, and treated people very friendly and generous.

But Jiang Chengjia didn't like her. When she turned on the lamp, she said disdainfully: "Sister, Sister Yushuang, are all broken... My sister is so generous. At this time, only the two of us can still pretend."

Li Xiangjun stopped lighting the lamp hand, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he still pretended nothing happened and said smoothly: "What is A Luo saying? Why can't I understand?"

Jiang Chengjia looked at her coldly, curled up the corners of her lips and mocked, "Sister really doesn't understand human words?"

Li's hand hiding in his sleeve curled up and clenched his fists unconsciously.

"Sister, don't think I don't know what you did in our yard these two days." Jiang Chengjia raised his eyebrows, raised his chin, and looked at Li Xiangjun with a smile.

Li's face turned pale in an instant.

Jiang Chengjia still looked at her with a smile without saying a word.

Li Xiangjun slowly turned around and looked at Jiang Chengjia's sarcastic, smiles, and cold lights, and suddenly felt a heavy force pressing her heart, which made her almost breathless.

She was still holding her face and refused to admit it completely. She tried to lift the corners of her mouth and sat on the mat beside the couch. The candlelight that had just been lit opposite was suddenly blown out by a cold wind, and the whole room fell into darkness again.

The faint lamp beside the bed shook the last candlelight, and Li, who had been silent for a long time, spoke at this time: "Today, it turns out that it was all the plans you set up?"

She asked softly, her voice and expression were trembling slightly. I don’t know if it was the embarrassment after the conspiracy was exposed or the fear of the little girl in front of her who was not as old as her.

Jiang Chengjia raised her eyebrows lightly and kept silent.

"Jiang Chengjia, you are indeed amazing." Li sneered, lowered his eyes and said coldly.

"Sister is rewarded. If I hadn't noticed something strange in the decoction that day... I'd probably have died of your hand long ago." Jiang Chengjia said lightly on the corner of his lips, "You want to take advantage of the opportunity when Junhou goes out and doesn't return for three days... He unconsciously put the red flowers into my decoction, and I guess I can't smell the inappropriateness of the decoction... I want me to die because of the drug restraint. After death, I framed the people in my yard, either Qianshan, Xiaocui, or Xiaoqi. No matter which one, Junhou will take his anger. It's not clear that all my confidants in the North Court will be punished and expelled. You have to kill me, and you can see that I am safe and sound, and I can calm down. It's a pity."

Li kept silent.

The two were silent for a while.

Jiang Chengjia spoke again: "The reason you want to kill me is nothing more than to be the hostess in this courtyard and to get the Lord and Marquis. But can you be sure that if I really die at your hands, will the Lord and Marquis really protect you for your past affection, regardless of the anger of my brother, and the wrath of the disciples who spread all over the world in Jiang's family?"

"Your Majesty is my childhood sweetheart, and he is a childless girl. He believes in me, but he may not believe in you." Li Xiangjun said coldly, "What are you? Jiang Chengjia, don't think I don't know that you married into the Marquis' Mansion with a purpose. Don't think that I don't know that you and Zhaoyuan had this marriage... It's not just his plan, but also half of your plan. You are such a scheming woman, the sister of Jiang Chengyi, the confidant minister of Your Majesty. Even if you don't know the identity... How could Zhaoyuan believe you or not? I am the Princess of Nanyang and the widow of the Grand Sima Wei Cao. I have the power to mobilize the military power of Xia Pi and Nanyang, and control the property of the Pang of the Wei family. For these reasons, Zhaoyuan will not make a fuss with me.

And what do you have? A brother who has become the chief officer of the East Mansion? Although Zhaoyuan wants to use you to control your brother, he will never let you do anything by his side and inquire about the news about the Huai Prince's Mansion for his brother. To him, you are just a pawn that can be abandoned at any time. He is the son of the Huai Prince, and no matter how bad he is, he will be supported by his father. Why should he be afraid of being an enemy of your brother? If your brother insists on finding an explanation and asks him to hand over the culprit, he will not attack me with our past affection and the little military power in my hands, and will use others to replace him to make excuses. At worst, he will completely break up with Jiang Chengyi.

What if your brother is famous in the Great Wei Dynasty? Can you still raise troops to annihilate the Huai Prince's Mansion for you? Suppress the Huai Prince's Mansion? Now, the power in the hands of the Huai Prince has become stronger and stronger. He has already had amazement with His Majesty in the court, and the government and the country are fighting openly and secretly, and there are constant swords, guns, swords and halberds. They have experienced so many bloody storms, are they still afraid of the upstart Jiang clan and their disciples? Compared with me, do you still think that the king and the marquis will kill me because of you?"

After hearing her, Jiang Chengjia felt inexplicably sympathetic to the woman in front of her and felt sad for her ignorance. Her hand on her knees gently tapped and said slowly: "Even if I am the chess piece he is in his hand, but this chess piece that is obviously of great use to him... was destroyed by you. Do you think that with the character of a king and a marquis can tolerate you for the rest of your life?"

This sentence suddenly pierced into Li Xiangjun's heart like a sharp sword, causing her to tremble all over.

She knew Ning Nanyou's ruthlessness. Jiang Nu's words were true. She could hide for a while, but she might not be able to live a safe life under Ning Nanyou's men. So she made preparations this time. If the plan was successful, Ning Nanyou suspected her and then turned around and fell the blame on Zhou Yuanmo.

She knew that Zhou Yuanmo hated Jiang Chengjia very much, so she naturally felt that this person was a good candidate to take the blame for her.

Li Xiangjun snorted coldly and retorted: "He can't tolerate me forever, let alone you forever."

Jiang Chengjia lowered her eyelashes, trembling slightly, and a strange feeling rose in her heart. Even though Li didn't know that there was a childhood bond between her and Ning Nanyou, there was a saying that was reasonable. If she really fell into Li's trap and died here, Ning Nanyou might not necessarily push Li out to avenge her. Now, he can obey and rely on her in every way, and except for her childhood bond, he is afraid that there will be no other relationship.

She knew that Ning Nanyou had not completely let go of her guard. Even if he had had this idea, Zhou Yuanmo would not let him do this.

Although she told Ning Nanyou everything, there were still many things that she could not say in her heart that needed to hide from him. She always had to take care of Jiang Chengyi's safety. Now the Emperor of Wei relied on the Deng clan and still had doubts about his brother and could not make peace with her. At that time, she successfully married into the Marquis' Mansion because she agreed to Emperor Wei and asked for information about the Huai Wang Mansion for him. Now she also had to submit every move of the Marquis' Mansion to Emperor Wei by presenting the Emperor of Huai Yin Hou Mansion to Emperor Wei.

If Ning Nanyou knows what she has covered up and what she has concealed, the consequences can be imagined.

Although Li spoke arrogantly and ignorantly, her words also reminded Jiang Chengjia. These secrets she deliberately hid would have to confess to Ning Nanyou one day to avoid the disaster that would happen later.

Jiang Chengjia was silent because of her last sentence.

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded outside the house, and Ji Xianzhi's voice came through the gap in the wooden door: "Girl, who has the thief who has done something wrong in the yard found out? Do you want to bring her up?"

"Who is it?" Jiang Chengjia asked.

Ji Xianzhi's way: "Ziwei, the female envoy in charge of the outer periphery of the North Court."

Li, who was sitting next to the couch, stared in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Chengjia looked at her, curled her lips slightly and said, "Bring it up, I have something to ask her."

Ji Xianzhi replied: "Here."

After a while, two guards came to the door of the house with a desperate struggle. Ji Xianzhi pushed open the empty wooden door, and the two soldiers pushed the captured maid in.

Ziwei was unprepared, so she was moved to the threshold and fell into the room. Her hands were tied tightly with a thick hemp rope. She fell on the cold brick floor. She looked up at the couch and saw Jiang Chengjia sitting there with a smile on her face. Li was sitting beside her, and she also looked at her.

The maid was frightened immediately and got up and knelt in the middle of the house, leaning on the ground and bowing, not daring to chew.

"Ziwei?" Jiang Chengjia called out softly.

When the maid heard the call, she couldn't help but shivered. She couldn't bear the fear in her heart. She gritted the bullet and answered: "I'm here."

"Tell me, why do you poison me in my decoction? Who else in this hospital is a complicit in your accomplice?" Jiang Chengjia asked slowly, his voice was not loud but full of cold frost.

"I...I..." Ziwei didn't know how to answer. At this moment, she was sweating like rain, her whole body was shaking, and her mind was in chaos.

She didn't know why Jiang Chengjia could survive. She clearly saw Qianshan running out of the room with blood all over her hands. Jiang Chengjia should have died of blood, how could she...

At this moment, Li was sitting in front of her, making her feel even more panicked.

"Tell me, if you don't, you can't escape this guilt." Jiang Chengjia persuaded peacefully.

Ziwei ignored the sweat dripping from her cheeks and remembered the conversation with Minghua. Although she was at a loss in her heart, she closed her eyes but was full of smiles from her parents and brothers. So she swallowed and gritted her teeth and said, "I am caused by Mr. Zhou in the Momo Zhou... I am a member of Mr. Zhou... I am ordered to... get rid of the female king."

This sentence fell into Jiang Chengjia's ears, but it did not surprise her. On the contrary, she sat down calmly as if she had expected it, and asked back: "Oh... is that true? Master Zhou hates me so much?"

Ziwei clenched her fists and said stammeringly: "I don't know the grudge between Mr. Zhou and the Queen... I just... I'm just ordered to do things. I'm not... I don't have anything to defend myself, please deal with the Queen directly!"
