Chapter 85 The Young Marquis and the Hostage of the Enemy Country 14

Jiang Li lowered her eyes and raised a mocking smile, "I thought you had become smarter, but I didn't expect you to be so simple-minded."

He Yunjing didn't think he was stupid. He held Jiang Li's wrist and pulled him to sit on the bed. "I already have a clue about the poison in your body. I will get the antidote for you on the birthday of the Emperor of Lin Kingdom in early May."

Jiang Li looked up suddenly, with a look of disbelief on her face, "How do you know?"

"You have no relatives. Isn't poison the best way to control you?" He Yunjing held his hand in his palm. "Your people should have seen me in action. It won't be difficult to get the antidote."

Jiang Li pursed her lips, but quickly refused, "Don't be delusional, you and I are enemies, I will never believe you, nor will I accept your kindness."

He Yunjing disagreed, "If I give you the antidote, there is no need for you to cancel the grudge between us, as long as all your choices in the future follow your heart and are not controlled by others."

"I said you don't need it!"

"If you say that, I will just think that you have feelings for me as well and don't want me to take the risk."

He Yunjing stared into Jiang Li's eyes seriously, trying to find some evidence in them. He didn't think that Jiang Li would put aside their past grudges and like him after such a short time together, but at least she didn't hate him as much anymore and was not willing to owe him a favor.

Jiang Li stared at him, thinking that this man was so stubborn that he actually went to the enemy country alone to steal medicine, and to save him, his enemy. It was incomprehensible.

He pulled his hand back and moved it away a little, "Don't forget that I poisoned your enemy and wanted to kill you."

He Yunjing moved his butt to catch up, "I am not dead, am I? You didn't poison me."

"But I want you to die so that the Marquis' Mansion can be taken over by a new owner."

"I know that when you have evidence that He Yunxing poisoned me, he will have no choice but to side with another prince and break away from the crown prince." He Yunjing raised his hand and placed it on his head, praising him sincerely, "You are very smart. I guess they don't know that you are the one behind it. Let me guess again, you put the blame on Wu Ziyan, didn't you?"

Jiang Li was speechless, because what He Yunjing said was true. He had indeed planned it this way and did it this way.

He Yunjing laughed, let go of his hand and stood up. "Okay, Tianhan, you should rest early. I have to go back to sleep too. I am very tired from traveling for days. My butt is almost broken into three pieces."

Jiang Li frowned, "How can you speak so vulgarly?"

"A butt is a butt. How can it be vulgar? You are just being pretentious."

He Yunjing waved goodbye and left, still walking through the main entrance with confidence, not afraid of being discovered at all. He came here to take advantage, and he was beginning to miss her after not seeing her for such a long time.

He didn't tell anyone in his house about his injury because it was early spring and the weather was cold, so he wore a lot of clothes and the wound on his neck was not noticeable.

After recuperating for half a month, his injuries were completely healed, and He Yunjing planned to go to Lin Kingdom, but he still needed to explain some things to Wu Ziqian before leaving.

By the end of March, Wu Ziqian had completed disaster relief and rushed back in early April.

He Yunjing was still under house arrest, so Wu Ziqian came to the Marquis' Mansion on a mission.

He Yunjing was waiting early, prepared tea and snacks in the study, and called Jiang Li over.

The three of them sat in the study for a while without saying a word. Jiang Li wanted to leave, but He Yunjing held his hand tightly under the table and wouldn't let go. He didn't dare to move too much as he didn't want to be seen.

Wu Ziqian also wanted Jiang Li to leave. After all, he was a prince of an enemy country, and he should be on guard against him whether he was favored or not. But Jiang Li did not move, and He Yunjing did not say anything. He just drank tea by himself and put cakes and snacks in front of Jiang Li.

What is going on?

Wu Ziqian coughed and asked He Yunjing, "Is your injury healed?"

"It's all fine. Ah Li took good care of me. She changed the medicine and cleaned me every day. I didn't get hurt."

He Yunjing spoke frankly, without any sign of lying.

This attitude made Jiang Li couldn't help but look at him with disdain. Apart from the question of when he applied medicine and cleansed He Yunjing that night, he was simply telling a lie.

Wu Ziqian also felt something was wrong. He looked at Jiang Li who was silent and then at He Yunjing who had a smile on his face. Why did he feel something was wrong?

Suddenly, Wu Ziqian stood up and looked, and saw the two people holding hands under the table.

The excitement almost made Wu Ziqian breathless, "Yun Jing! Let me go!"

He Yunjing didn't let go. He stood up and held Wu Ziqian's shoulders to push him back. "Cousin, don't get excited. Ah Li is already mine. We will be a family sooner or later."

Wu Ziqian's eyes widened and he slammed the table in anger, "How could you do this! Not to mention his identity, you shouldn't force him like this even if he was an ordinary man!"

"It's not forced. We just fall in love over time and can't help it." He Yunjing remained calm, but he was about to pull away the hand that was under the table.

He glanced at her sideways and said, "What are you afraid of? My cousin is a reasonable person and not such a pedantic person."

Jiang Li wanted to roll her eyes and looked at He Yunjing with a reproachful look. How could they not help themselves? They even said that he was his man. He Yunjing was simply talking nonsense.

He Yunjing chose to ignore Jiang Li's look. What a joke. He would be away for a long time, and his house arrest would be almost lifted when he came back. He had to give Wu Ziqian some time to accept it, so that he could take care of Jiang Li after she returned to the palace.

Wu Ziqian was very angry. He took a big sip of tea and put it down heavily. "Sixth Prince, please go out for a while."

Jiang Li was eager to do so. She pulled her hand back forcefully and left in a hurry. When closing the door, she gave He Yunjing a warning look, saying that he would not serve her if he continued to talk nonsense.

He Yunjing smiled at him, and only looked away when he saw Jiang Li angrily close the door and walk away, and then he caught Wu Ziqian's disapproving look.

He Yunjing spoke first, "Cousin, don't be anxious."

"How can I not be anxious?! Who is he? How could you do such a thing with him! What's more, he is a man! When did you develop the habit of homosexuality?"

"I have always been like that. I didn't realize it before, but now I know it." He Yunjing took a sip of tea and put it down with a serious expression. "The two countries will fight again sooner or later. No matter who wins or loses, only the soldiers of the two countries will die, and the people will suffer from the war. Cousin, do you want to start a war?"

Wu Ziqian naturally didn't want to do that. The war five years ago caused huge losses to the Wu State, and it has only slowly recovered now. It would be better not to fight if possible.

But the war between the two countries was not something he could control. Even if Wu wanted peace, Lin might not give up.

He Yunjing locked his eyes on him, "I have a way to stop the war between the two countries."

"The Sixth Prince is not favored in Lin Country. You didn't do anything to him. What you did was indeed inappropriate. You bullied him in the past, and now you force him. Or maybe we doted on him too much!"

Wu Ziqian had a tone of being disappointed in his son. He wanted to teach him a lesson but couldn't bear to do so. However, he would be too angry if he didn't.

He Yunjing raised his hand to stop him, "I'm serious, we really do love each other."
