Who would raise a villain as a wife?
Chapter 87 The Young Marquis and the Hostage of the Enemy Country 16
He Yunjing was a little annoyed, and sneaked out while they were getting into it.
Just as He Yunjing was about to leave, he heard the ambiguous conversation between the two. The female voice asked, "Your Highness, when will you give me a status?"
"When the old man dies, I will make you the Queen Mother when I ascend the throne."
"Hate it, I don't want to be a concubine, it sounds so old-fashioned."
He Yunjing hissed in his heart, love is still a moral drama, it's quite extravagant.
He Yunjing's eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea. He asked the system, [Which prince of the Lin Kingdom is this man? ]
[It's the third prince Jiang Yunbei, who is currently the most likely candidate to become the crown prince of Lin State. The one who is having an affair with him is Yue Zhaoyi, who just entered the palace this year. She is young and beautiful. ]
He Yunjing was very interested. If the prince and the concubine were discovered having an affair, it would definitely be a big deal, so he would not care whether the antidote had been taken away.
He Yunjing came up with an idea almost immediately. He took off the cloth bag hanging on his waist, opened it, and released a spotted snake from it.
The spotted snake had been trapped for a long time, and then it scurried down the rockery and landed directly on the two men.
Two terrifying screams rang out, attracting countless voices, but He Yunjing ran away after releasing the snake. This kind of thing depends on luck, and you can imagine that he has good luck.
The system was so frightened by the manipulation, [Host, host! You are too much! How could you release the snake! It's so scary! ]
He Yunjing didn't even bother to pay attention to it. What was the point of calling it just a bunch of crappy data?
He quickly moved around the noisy palace, hoping this scandal would divert attention.
Although they were thousands of miles apart and although it was a royal secret, Jiang Li still received the message.
He couldn't help but chuckle as he read the content. On the emperor's birthday, his son and his concubine were having an affair. It was really a big drama. The key point was that the concubine was pregnant, and no one knew whose child it was.
The sudden appearance of the poisonous snake and the person who stole the medicine could not be such a coincidence no matter how you think about it. Jiang Li was actually looking forward to He Yunjing's return.
After waiting for a few days, He Yunjing returned on May 26th, earlier than he expected.
Although He Yunjing did not alarm anyone, it still took time for him to get out. When he was about to leave the border of Lin State, he encountered a blockade and finally managed to get out.
After rushing back non-stop, He Yunjing covered himself up again and crawled into Jiang Li's room in the middle of the night.
But this time, the lights were on in Jiang Li's room and there was hot water available, obviously knowing that he would be back tonight.
He Yunjing naturally took out the porcelain bottle and threw it to Jiang Li, then undressed and climbed into the bathtub.
Jiang Li poured out the antidote and smelled it. It was indeed the antidote. He swallowed it in one gulp, put away the remaining antidote, turned around the screen and stood behind He Yunjing.
The cloth band that tied her hair was untied, and her hair fell down. He Yunjing looked up at Jiang Li and asked, "Are you happy?"
"Yeah." Jiang Li answered without hesitation, and then asked him, "Did you know they had problems beforehand, or did you encounter them?"
He Yunjing told Jiang Li about the time he got the antidote and encountered the two people having an affair. Jiang Li felt strange and asked him, "Why do you still carry a poisonous snake with you?"
"I thought about doing something so that I could get out, so as not to alert anyone." He Yunjing reached back and held Jiang Li's hand. "How did your people find me?"
Jiang Li lowered her eyes and did not answer. She quietly washed He Yunjing's hair. It was really smelly, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't wash it clean.
He Yunjing also chose to remain quiet and not say anything. To be honest, the journey back was quite tiring.
After washing up, He Yunjing didn't want to go back to his room. He pushed Jiang Li to lie on the bed and fell asleep in seconds.
Jiang Li was sleeping on the inside, and although she was lying flat, her eyes unconsciously fell on He Yunjing's face.
The candles in the room had been extinguished. It was quiet and the view was not clear, but he could not move away.
He did not ask He Yunjing why he knew the secret passage, or why he gave him the real antidote instead of using it to control him.
It was also like He Yunjing didn't chase him and ask why he had his own people in Lin Country, helping He Yunjing to leave Lin Country and knowing exactly that he would come back tonight.
At this moment, they are very close to each other, and sleeping in the same bed is an intimate act.
But their identities and grudges created a gap between the two of them. He couldn't cross it, and He Yunjing also had his reasons for staying on the other side.
This feeling made Jiang Li confused and she couldn't sleep well.
He Yunjing was very tired and slept soundly all the way, so he was not on guard at all. He could take He Yunjing's life at any time.
But he couldn't do it, not because he couldn't or because the timing was not right, but because he didn't want to.
It was already daybreak when He Yunjing woke up. He propped himself up and sat up. There was no one inside and only some noises could be heard outside.
He got up from the bed, put on his clothes casually and went out. He saw Jiang Li reading a book under the eaves with a flower pot on the table. She was happily basking in the early morning sunshine.
He Yunjing walked over, picked up the flowerpot and took a look. It had grown a little bit, but the growth was too slow. He really didn't know when it would grow and bloom.
Jiang Li put down the book and looked over. "It grows so slowly."
It's really slow. It took more than half a year for the third leaf to fully grow.
He Yunjing sat directly on the small table. "It's fine as long as it grows. I have plenty of time to wait."
Jiang Li wanted to say that Xiao Ye was strange. He had never seen any grass or flower grow so slowly. It was completely beyond his cognition and understanding.
He Yunjing continued, "I'll take you out to deliver the antidote tonight. You won't be the only one being controlled."
"Are you really going to betray the Wu Kingdom?"
"When did I betray?" He Yunjing didn't think he had. He didn't do anything to harm the interests of the Wu Kingdom, but if Jiang Li finally chose to follow the plot, he couldn't stop her and wouldn't stop her by force.
Jiang Li still felt that He Yunjing was naive. Saving him, the prince of an enemy country, was a betrayal no matter how one looked at it, at least in his opinion it was definitely a betrayal.
He Yunjing put down the flowerpot and turned closer to him, "Can you tell me? What do you want to do to the royal family of Lin Kingdom?"
Jiang Li raised her eyes to meet He Yunjing's gaze, "You don't need to know, it has nothing to do with you."
"What about the Marquis' Mansion and the Crown Prince? Is it really because my father is good at fighting that we have to get rid of him so that the Lin Kingdom's army can invade?" He Yunjing locked Jiang Li's eyes, and before he could refuse, he said, "I heard that in three months, the Northern Kingdom will send troops to attack the Wu Kingdom."
Jiang Li's eyelashes trembled, and she instinctively wanted to avoid it, but He Yunjing pinched her chin and turned her back.
He Yunjing's eyes darkened. "Don't say it has nothing to do with you. The spies sent to Wu Kingdom should obey the emperor's orders, but they obviously listen to you more. And those people who helped me leave Lin Kingdom, this is not something that an unfavored prince can arrange. You were only ten years old when you came to Wu Kingdom."
Jiang Li met He Yunjing's eyes, "Why do you have to get to the bottom of it? Isn't it better to be a fool like before? Smart people don't live long."
