The perfect game for personalities

The blood from the severed snake in the palm of his hand was still very fresh, it was so fresh and disgusting, it was stained on the luxurious robe.

Li Lingjing had the dirty clothes burned, and checked Jiang Fei's body, and found that there were snake bite marks on his ankle, so he immediately summoned the imperial doctor in the post house.

Fortunately, the bite was not deep, and no toxin entered the body. It should have been bitten secretly by the little snake when it entangled Jiang Fei.

After confirming that Jiang Fei was not injured, Li Lingjing kicked everyone out and started getting angry at him.

All the glazed cups on the table fell to the ground, and he walked back and forth among the debris on the floor, staring at Jiang Fei with a livid face, and sneered.

"Do you think I don't know that you are Li Lingqin's? You dare to assassinate Azheji. He ordered you?"

Seeing Jiang Fei kneeling beside the bed without saying a word, Li Lingjing strode towards him, grabbed his skirt, and questioned him bitterly.

"It is indeed worthwhile to lose one of your subordinates in exchange for some chance of winning the throne, but you are so willing to die for Li Lingqin? He is just a waste, why should you be so loyal!"

The last sentence has overflowed with monstrous sourness.

Jiang Fei lowered his head, didn't mention the Gu planted in his body by Li Lingqin, just said.

"The fifth prince is my only master."

Saying such loyal words at this time will only anger Li Lingjing, he stared at Jiang Fei with eyes wide open, and tightened his grip.

Jiang Fei was strangled by the tight collar, and remembered the cold feeling of the snake wrapped around his neck.

His face turned pale, and he couldn't stop trembling slightly.

Li Lingjing didn't notice it for a while, but felt that all her heart and soul had been ruined, disappointed and jealous.

"I'm not good enough for you? When I pamper you and pity you like this, others laugh at me for being seduced by beauty and say you are a disaster, but I know that you just want my life and the throne in my hand."

"I'm kind enough if I didn't kill you, but you are still so obsessed that you have to go allegiance to that sick man?"

Jiang Fei didn't like it, and Li Lingjing hated it, so he took him back and went straight to the bathing pool.

Now Jiang Fei changed into clean obscene clothes and knelt on the bed, her hair dried by internal force fell down, and between the waterfall-like black hair was a snow-white and handsome face.

He was silent, and his plain expression was like a piece of ice that could not be covered by heat. Li Lingjing loved and hated him, and every time he looked at him, he felt chilling.

Trying his best to suppress the violent thoughts surging in his heart, he took a deep breath, gently stroked Jiang Fei's cheek with his palm, and the warm touch melted a little bit of his gloomy face.

He stared at Jiang Fei and said in a gentle voice.

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Instead of following Li Lingqin, it is better to follow me. I will be the emperor in the future, and I will never treat you badly."

In fact, Li Lingjing did think about where he would put Jiang Fei if he came to the throne.

He had already selected the candidate for the crown princess before, and the emperor himself promised that he would give him the position of the East Palace on the day they were married.

When Li Lingjing ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, in order to win over the ministers and consolidate the foundation of the new emperor, he would have to fill the harem with the daughters of the ministers.

However, he didn't want Jiang Fei to get involved in those women's harem battles, nor did he want Jiang Fei to question his love for him.

After deliberating for a long time, he made up his mind to build a separate mansion for Jiang Fei outside the palace, and open a secret passage, so that when he wanted to see Jiang Fei, he could see him soon, and if Jiang Fei wanted something, he would will also be given to him.

Obviously, the second half of the promise does not represent the status of master and servant.

Jiang Fei raised his eyes, as if he had seen through his plan for his resettlement, his dark eyes were quiet and cold.

He sounded a reminder.

"His Royal Highness is about to marry the Crown Princess."

Li Lingjing paused, his expression relaxed, and he smiled unconsciously.

"Yes, but I promise you, even if I marry another woman, you will be my favorite."

He was born in the royal family, and he is destined to be the prince of the world. He really can't put his children's personal affairs first, but he will try his best to give Jiang Fei the guarantee he deserves, enough to feel at ease.

Jiang Fei shook his head, his expression unchanged, and said lightly.

"To the fifth prince, I am a secret guard, but to you, I am a prostitute."

"That's why, I will not be loyal to you."

Hearing this, Li Lingjing's complexion changed, a little anger surfaced, and he blurted out.

"But I love you to—"

"You can save this love and pity for others."

Previously, he endured the humiliation and stayed by Li Lingjing's side in order not to reveal his identity, and to sneak into the post house to carry out Li Lingqin's orders, but now the plan has failed.

Li Lingjing wanted to win him over, not because he liked his skills, but because he wanted to keep him on the bed.

He treated Jiang Fei really well, and his favor is enviable, but the people in the deep palace are not pure and good people. Li Lingqin, who seems to have the least sense of existence, hides many secret guards, and has always been regarded as an object of hostility by the princes Li Lingjing's ability to come to the present is also not to be underestimated.

It's too unsafe to stay with such a person, not to mention that he will become an emperor in the future, and he will have a harem and six courtyards. His kindness is unpredictable, and Jiang Fei doesn't believe that he won't get tired of himself.

So no matter how good Li Lingjing treats him, he dare not agree, and it is impossible for him to agree.

Li Lingjing was probably hurt by his decisive attitude, his face sank like water for a long while without saying a word, the gnashing gaze seemed to want to peel off a layer of his skin, and eat his cold heart into his stomach.

He clamped Jiang Fei's arm and roughly dragged him under the bed.

Glancing at the sharp tiles all over the floor, he paused and asked the palace servants to come in and clean them with a cold face.

The palace guards outside had heard the sound coming from inside and knew that he was angry, so they hurriedly swept away all the debris on the ground tremblingly, and retreated in a hurry.

Only then did Li Lingjing push Jiang Fei to the ground with all his strength, and he paused every word with his dark eyes.

"If you don't agree, you will kneel until you agree."

Seeing that Jiang Fei still didn't say a word, and just got up and knelt on the cold ground, the anger on Li Lingjing's face became a little stronger, and he bent over, pulling his hair, with a cold tone.

"I will send people to guard here firmly, and it will be difficult to fly even with wings."

"If you dare to run, I will cripple your limbs and make you a crippled prostitute for the rest of your life."

"Did you hear?"

As if the words were full of terrifying blood, Jiang Fei's heart beat wildly when he heard it, and he felt instinctive fear in front of Li Lingjing's fury.

He pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

"I heard."

The close distance was enough for Li Lingjing to clearly see his trembling eyelashes. In an instant, he couldn't restrain his soft heart, and the darkness in his eyes dissipated a little.

He even wanted to give Jiang Fei one more chance, as long as Jiang Fei gave in to him, even if he gave him a timid look, he could let the past go and spoil him even more than before.

But Jiang Fei didn't say anything, her fair face was like the cold moonlight, which immediately cooled Li Lingjing's heart.

His expression became more and more pale, he let go of Jiang Fei, stopped looking at him, and walked out expressionlessly.

During the last few days when the foreigners lived in the post house, Azheji didn't see Jiang Fei.

The accident that night seemed to be covered up by everyone tacitly. When Li Lingjing met him the next day, he was still as polite as before, and he couldn't find any faults.

Azheji felt more and more that he was unfathomable, and he must not be an enemy, but he was really reluctant to give up the gift he had so hard to fancy.

On the last day, after they entered the pilgrimage to meet the emperor, they prepared to leave Beijing.

The black snake in his arms climbed onto his shoulders, hissing and spitting out scarlet snake letters. Azheji looked at the bustling capital city that was getting farther and farther away, and smiled and patted the black snake's head.

"It's too early to pick up the gift now, just wait."

After sending off Azheji and being called into the study by the emperor to discuss matters, it was already afternoon when Li Lingjing returned to Lingxiao Palace.

Liuli was hurriedly urging the palace servants carrying the food boxes to enter the bedroom, and when she saw Li Lingjing came back, she hurriedly saluted.

"Young master couldn't eat after drinking the medicine, so the slave asked the small kitchen to make some candied fruits."

Li Lingjing glanced at the small porcelain plate containing delicate fruits, and said coldly.

"If you can't eat it, pour it in. If you are so coquettish, you really can't think of yourself as the master."

The sarcasm was ruthless, but Liuli didn't dare to take it seriously, she just smiled and said carefully.

"Just now the imperial doctor came and said that the wound on the young master's foot from the snake bite has completely healed, but after taking the pulse, he said that the young master is depressed in the heart and has lost a lot of weight. It is not suitable for the past few days...not to have excessive intercourse."

Speaking of the last four words, Liuli couldn't help feeling a little shy, and her voice became much weaker.

When the foreign envoys stayed in the posthouse, Liuli did not follow Li Lingjing to serve Li Lingjing, but stayed in the Lingxiao Palace to handle various affairs.

This was also the case in previous years, because Li Lingjing was afraid that someone would sneak in and do something when he was not in Lingxiao Palace, so he sent the most trusted Liuli to guard him.

But a few days ago, when the foreigners were still a few days away from Beijing, Li Lingjing suddenly called her to the post house.

Liuli was still puzzled at first, but when she got there, she found out that Jiang Fei somehow made Li Lingjing angry. Li Lingjing locked him in the room, but she couldn't trust the guards, so she summoned Liuli to watch Jiang Fei in person.

The palace people were frightened and did not dare to offend Li Lingjing, and Liuli rarely saw Li Lingjing showing such obvious anger outside outsiders, which showed that Jiang Fei had indeed made a big mistake.

But she didn't know what mistake Jiang Fei made.

And although Li Lingjing was very angry, she would still go back to the room where Jiang Fei was staying every night, but at night, Liuli would hear Jiang Fei's exhausted begging for mercy, which was so weak that it was about to break.

She couldn't bear to hear it, but Li Lingjing walked out the next day with a gloomy expression on her face.

If someone made Li Lingjing angry before, they would never survive the next day, but now Li Lingjing didn't deal with Jiang Fei no matter how angry he was, and he wasn't even willing to hurt him.

While Liuli was worried for Jiang Fei, she also secretly hoped that he could coax Li Lingjing well sooner, so that if Li Lingjing got angry, the entire Lingxiao Palace would suffer.

Xu Shi has been tossed hard by Li Lingjing these few days, and when the imperial physician came over, he also prescribed some medicines for Jiang Fei's body.

I came to change the taste today, and it smelled very bitter. After Jiang Fei reluctantly drank it, he was so sleepy that he didn't want to eat anything.

Liuli saw that he had become much thinner in the past few days, fearing that Li Lingjing would feel distressed when he saw it, so she ordered the small kitchen to make some sweet candied fruits and bring them over.

Hearing the imperial physician's tactful instructions from her mouth, Li Lingjing sneered, walked into the bedroom without saying a word.

The sleeping hall was changed to a lighter incense to remove the smell, Liuli followed Li Lingjing in carefully, and saw Jiang Fei lying on the bed with his back facing him, silently, wondering if he was asleep.

But just now the palace personnel came, and Jiang Fei was still awake at that time, so he should not be asleep at this time.

Seeing that he did not salute Li Lingjing arrogantly, Liuli's heart raised her throat again, and before she could make a sound, she saw Li Lingjing striding over, with menacing anger in her steps, Liuli was secretly startled.

At the bedside, Li Lingjing threw off the quilt, grabbed Jiang Fei's shoulder, and forced him to look at her.

Just as she was about to reprimand him, Li Lingjing realized that he had really fallen asleep just now when they looked at each other.

Being woken up by herself at this moment, Jiang Fei's face was expressionless, she sat up slowly, knelt on the bed and saluted him.

"Your Highness."

His voice was still hoarse, and his expression was very tired.

He was very tired indeed.

Li Lingjing was more difficult than before, he couldn't rest until early in the morning, but he was not feeling well, so he couldn't fall asleep. After Li Lingjing got up and went to court, he could rest for a while.

Soon, the imperial physician would come in to take his pulse again, and the palace servants would make medicine for him and stare at him for meals.

The tiny noises from a wall away were noisy, piercing into my ears.

Seeing the black eyes on his fair face, Li Lingjing froze and didn't speak for a long time.

He stared at Jiang Fei uncertainly, stretched out his hand to the side, Liuli was stunned, and then cleverly handed him the porcelain plate containing candied fruit.

Xu Shi saw Jiang Fei so tired, Li Lingjing couldn't bear it, and hugged him in his arms, his voice was much gentler.

"Liuli said you can't eat, is the medicine too bitter?"

The sweet candied fruit was stuffed into his mouth, and Jiang Fei could only eat it with his mouth open, because his speech was a little slurred because of something in his mouth.

"Just no appetite."

"How can you do without food, Liuli, pass on the meal."

Li Lingjing sat by the bed, put his thin shoulders on his shoulders, looked at his cheeks that bulged slightly when he chewed, the haze accumulated between his brows and eyes gradually dissipated, revealing some tenderness.

Liuli breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly withdrew with the other palace people.

Soon, the hot lunch was delivered, and when Liuli entered, she saw Li Lingjing, who hadn't seen him for a long time, with a cheerful face, Jiang Fei was pillowed in his arms, eating candied fruit with his head down, the relaxed atmosphere seemed like the two of them were in harmony. alright.

Her mood also became brighter, and she hurriedly retreated after the meal was served.

Li Lingjing stared at Jiang Fei and ate some more, and then he was satisfied to be evacuated.

"I have to go out of the palace to do business at night, and I may not be able to make it back in time. You should rest well."

He caressed Jiang Fei's face, seeing him listening with lowered brows, he couldn't help but soften his tone, with a teasing smile.

"The imperial doctor said that it's not good that you are always depressed. After I finish the tasks assigned to me by the emperor this time, and I will become the prince in the future, I will take you out of the palace and accompany you well, eh?"

Before Jiang Fei could answer, his voice became softer, as if to warn quietly.

"Don't think so much, you just stay in my Lingxiao Palace."

Jiang Fei didn't look at him, and answered in a low voice.

"Yes."

Li Lingjing really didn't come back that night.

Jiang Fei slept all afternoon, her spirits improved, and she couldn't fall asleep at night.

He was silent in the quiet bedroom, listening to the busy rustling of everyone in Lingxiao Palace, Liuli softly told the palace people to change the wick of the palace lantern.

Listening farther away, there is the orderly footsteps of the patrolling guards passing by the bluestone bricks.

A gust of wind blows.

He opened his eyes, sat up, and said he was thirsty.

The palace man on duty outside came in and poured him a cup of hot water.

Jiang Fei took it and drank it down. When he handed the teacup to the palace man, he firmly put the sharp blade that slipped out of the other party's sleeve into his palm and hid it in his obscene clothes.

The palace man helped him to lie down, and when he got closer, the other party spoke in a low voice without any emotion.

"Three days later, the emperor will make the second prince the crown prince. Before that, the master wants you to kill the second prince."

Jiang Fei lay on the jade pillow and nodded imperceptibly.

The other party tucked up the quilt for him, bowed his head and left in a salute, and said again.

"Today's candied fruit contains puppet Gu insects. If you can't do it, the master will help you."

Hearing this, Jiang Fei froze and looked at him suddenly, but the other party had already retreated respectfully.

The previous dagger had fallen when he assassinated Azheji, and Li Lingqin sent him a new weapon.

However, Li Lingqin didn't believe him anymore.

He only believed in the Gu he had planted.
