"Okay, let's all go down."

The Queen Mother pinched her brows and looked at Song Shiwei's departing back, her eyes full of coldness.

Song Shiwei naturally also felt the strong murderous intent behind her. She pretended to be calm and returned to the house. When she was alone, the panic in her eyes could finally no longer be concealed.

what to do? ? ?

I was too impatient before. Prince Yu is in trouble now, and the Queen Mother has become suspicious of me. If she finds out about the problem with the incense, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape death...

The only thing he could do now was to swallow his pride and please Xiao Yanli.

I have to find a way to build a bridge between Xiao Yanli and the Queen Mother, but I have to be careful not to let them join forces and kick me out as the middleman...

What to do?

Song Shiwei was brainstorming frantically.

In a blink of an eye, a night passed. Thanks to Xing Maozhi's crazy suppression, the romantic affairs between Prince Yu and Erzhu Huaji had disappeared without a trace by the next morning.

At least, almost no one dares to talk about it openly.

No matter what was discussed in private, as long as no one said it openly, Xing Maozhi would have completed his mission. At the same time that he breathed a sigh of relief, Erzhu Huaji in the delegation's residence also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news reported by the envoy.

Of course, the fewer people who know about your humiliation, the better.

He waved his hand, signaling the messenger to withdraw. Tudora appeared behind him at some point and asked in a gloomy voice, "So, what exactly happened in the City God Temple?"

She didn't believe a word the storyteller said.

Not to mention how much the storyteller had processed it, how could two men do that?!

Facing Tudola's puzzled gaze, Erzhu Huaji showed his anger in front of her for the first time: "What is there to ask? I also want to ask you, didn't you say she was drunk? If you hadn't spread false information and ruined the plan, I wouldn't have..."

When he said this, a look of shame and anger flashed in his eyes. He glared at Tudola fiercely, snorted, and walked away.

Tudora was stunned for a long while before she reacted.

…

Naturally, news of yesterday's events also reached the ears of other princes. Fearing that they might have been poisoned, the emperor did not give any orders, and they did not have much contact with the Southern Gu envoys.

But after Jiang Zhiyu taught the imperial doctors how to prevent poisonous insects, they began to become restless.

This is especially true for the third prince.

The third prince was named Xiao Mingye. He was also a strong contender for the throne, but his mother believed his father's words and performed a trick in the palace and was caught on the spot.

The emperor was furious. Considering that Xiao Mingye was his own blood, he sent the then Prime Minister Yang Yan to investigate thoroughly. After a week of interrogation, he finally found out the truth.

This matter was all planned by his mother and her family, and Xiao Mingye was completely unaware of it.

The emperor then issued an order to execute all nine of his clans, leaving only Xiao Mingye alive.

Although he saved his life, he had no help anymore. The emperor also became disgusted with him because of this incident. After Xiao Mingye grew up a little, the emperor sent him to Youzhou in the northeast. He would only come back once a year at this time.

He didn't have a residence in the capital, so every time Xiao Mingye came back, he stayed in an inn.

There were many people in the inn and Xiao Mingye was worried that there might be eavesdroppers. He was thinking of going outside the city to discuss with his staff, but he received an invitation from Jiang Wenjing, inviting him to the courtyard for a chat.

When Xiao Mingye arrived, Jiang Wenjing was practicing martial arts with Ji Tong.

Xiao Mingye walked forward to watch without saying a word. He waited until Jiang Wenjing saw him before he smiled brightly.

"When did Mingye arrive? Why didn't he say a word?"

"I just arrived a short time ago. Seeing that you were in high spirits, I didn't bother you." Xiao Mingye said, then turned to look at Ji Tong, who had also put away his sword and was walking towards him. He frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ji Tong's smile, which had just risen, suddenly fell.

I’m so annoyed. Here comes another annoying person.

Jiang Wenjing and Xiao Mingye met in the battle of Tianshui. At that time, Jiang Wenjing was seriously injured. It was Xiao Mingye who ordered his people to give full treatment to him and pulled Jiang Wenjing back from the brink of death.

Xiao Mingye admired Jiang Wenjing and several of the deputy generals around him, but he had a deep-seated dislike for Ji Tong.

[Perhaps this is the ethereal sixth sense that both men and women have.]

Also called intuition.

"Who is talking?" A female voice suddenly came to his ears. Xiao Mingye was stunned and frowned and said in a low voice.

Several people were startled and looked at him in surprise. Xiao Mingye heard a voice saying:

[What's going on? The book doesn't mention this person also has auditory hallucinations.]

Xiao Mingye: “!!!”

He was startled and looked carefully, only to find that there was a woman sitting next to the stone table.

Following his gaze, Jiang Wenjing explained, "This is my younger sister, Jiang Zhiyu, the one I told you about."

Due to the angle, Jiang Zhiyu's figure was completely blocked by the tree, so Xiao Mingye didn't notice it for a while.

Xiao Mingye had naturally heard of Jiang Zhiyu's name. He frowned slightly and thought to himself, was she the one who was talking just now?

But I always feel something is wrong.

Xiao Mingye walked over with a frown on his face.

Although he is handsome, he has prominent cheekbones, which gives people a fierce feeling when he is not smiling. In addition, his eyes are as sharp as blades at this moment, making people dare not look directly at him, and his steps are very heavy.

In short, it looks like he's ready to fight.

Ji Tong was behind him, taking advantage of the fact that no one was noticing him at the moment, and his mouth was almost stretched to his temples.

Fight, fight!

Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Zhiyu raised her eyes slightly. Xiao Mingye's gaze was looking at her carefully, moving down inch by inch. He noticed something, and his eyes suddenly stopped. Then he raised his hand, and the strong internal force rushed straight towards Jiang Zhiyu!

Jiang Wenjing's pupils trembled violently, but it was too late for him to stop it.

He could only hope that Jiang Zhiyu would dodge away, but Jiang Zhiyu, perhaps frightened or something, just sat there motionless.

The smile on Ji Tong's face deepened, waiting to see the tragic scene of Jiang Zhiyu being beaten away, but——

The teacup in front of Jiang Zhiyu shattered with a sound. As for Jiang Zhiyu himself, only the wind brought by his internal force blew the hair on his forehead.

Ji Tong's smile froze.

Jiang Wenjing was also stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Mingye’s words made them both open their eyes wide.

"It's so cold, why are you drinking cold tea? Be careful not to catch a cold." Facing the looks from Jiang Wenjing and Ji Tong as if they were looking at a prehistoric monster, Xiao Mingye sat down next to Jiang Zhiyu in a very familiar manner and reprimanded her in a soft tone.

Ji Tong only felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and he resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

MD, I waited in vain!

Jiang Wenjing's mouth twitched slightly, and he punched Xiao Mingye on the shoulder: "Can't you talk properly? You scared me to death by doing this!"

Xiao Mingye chuckled.

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stop Jiang Zhiyu in time and she would drink it.
