Please note: they are not biological sisters, you understand.
"My second sister is the Prime Minister's daughter, who can enter and exit the imperial court!"
"My third s...
In a short while, only Jing Zhe and Zhu Xinning remained in the room.
Zhu Xinning glanced around and gave a wry smile: These three little girls are pretty fast!
Jing Zhe stepped forward and put his arm around Zhu Xinning's slender waist, as if afraid she would run away. With a slight pull, Zhu Xinning let out a soft moan and slumped into Jing Zhe's arms.
"Second sister, you can't run away now!"
Jing Zhe said smugly.
"I didn't intend to run away!"
Zhu Xinning reached out and gently flicked Jing Zhe, giggling sweetly.
"Second sister, you won't blame me for what happened to Xi'er, will you?"
When they were alone, Jing Zhe asked earnestly.
Zhu Xinning affectionately touched his face and smiled, "In this world, I would never blame Zhe'er! No matter what you do, what can I do but support you? You are my life."
Zhu Xinning's voice was soft, gentle, and affectionate. Jing Zhe was deeply moved after hearing it and rested his head on Zhu Xinning's chest: "Second sister, you are so good."
"That's good, but if something like this happens again, could you please tell me first?"
Zhu Xinning said quietly, "Once she comes to Jingzhou, she'll still have to live with us. And since we treated her so hostilely before, wouldn't it be awkward for us to live under the same roof?"
She was telling the truth. During this period, a three-person team led by Zhu Xinning and assisted by Zhang Xiaoyu and Su Mochen had been relentlessly pursuing Murong Xi, creating a tense atmosphere.
This kind of relationship, where you have to be together every day and call each other sisters, is pretty awkward.
"Okay, I'll tell my second sister from now on."
Jing Zhe nodded in agreement and then smiled, "But Second Sister, you don't need to worry, because Xi'er isn't the type to hold grudges. Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to give you the Immortal Transformation Pill!"
"What, just because she's not a vengeful person, does that mean we are? Is she the only good person in the world?"
Although she had accepted Murong Xi, Zhu Xinning still felt a strange feeling in her heart, especially when she heard Jing Zhe praise her in front of her, she felt a little jealous.
"No, no, Xi'er is good, but Second Sister is even better!"
Jing Zhe quickly smiled ingratiatingly, but Zhu Xinning pouted and said, "Luckily I didn't let you call me... Xin'er back then, otherwise it would have been so awkward to hear you call her that!"
What's so awkward about it?
Jing Zhe shamelessly said, "She is Xi'er, and you are Xin'er. You are completely different! However, the only thing you have in common is that you are both my most beloved wives!"
"Slippery!"
While Jing Zhe was speaking, his hands never stopped moving. Zhu Xinning blushed with embarrassment. She slapped away his mischievous hand, glared at him, and said, "Don't move around. I have serious business to discuss with you!"
Jing Zhe chuckled: "Second Sister, go ahead and talk about your important business. I'm busy with important business too!"
"..."
Seeing Zhu Xinning raise an eyebrow, Jing Zhe quickly withdrew his hand and said with an embarrassed smile, "Alright, alright, enough fooling around, let's get down to business!"
"Zhe'er, have you considered how you plan to use the Immortal Transformation Pill that Murong Xi gave you?"
Zhu Xinning said seriously.
"This... actually, Xi'er mentioned it before she left..."
So Jing Zhe recounted what Murong Xi had said: that he should give these Immortal Transformation Pills to his women, and that when the pills ran out, he would no longer be able to find women.
Murong Xi frowned repeatedly after hearing this.
Jing Zhe thought she didn't want him to look for someone else, so he immediately assured her, "But don't worry, Second Sister, I'm already very content with all of you. I won't look for anyone else..."
"You really won't look for it again?"
Zhu Xinning glanced at him sideways and said.
"Forehead…"
Jing Zhe thought about it and realized that he shouldn't make such a promise lightly, otherwise he might be proven wrong.
He then changed his tune, saying, "I won't just pick anyone!"
"real?"
"real."
It was rare to see Jing Zhe so serious, so Zhu Xinning chuckled and said, "I don't quite agree with Murong Xi's suggestion. I can understand giving us the Immortal Transformation Pill, but we can't have it all."
"..."
Jing Zhe was puzzled, so Zhu Xinning asked, "Haven't you thought about giving it to someone else?"
Without even thinking, Jing Zhe replied directly, "Of course I didn't think about it."
In Jing Zhe's world, aside from him and his woman, not even the Heavenly King himself would give him the Immortal Transformation Pill! The Soul-Severing Fan and his disciple, the man in the straw hat, did want it, so they died.
From now on, if anyone dares to covet the Immortal Transformation Pill, Jing Zhe will send them to their deaths!
Zhu Xinning said softly, "Zhe'er, have you ever thought about this? Everyone wants this Immortal Transformation Pill. The reason why few people covet it is because it is highly poisonous. Although it can grant immortality, it is also a poison. If people find out that you already have the antidote, it will bring you too much trouble! Possessing a treasure is a crime. If you don't want to give it to others, you can't let anyone know about it."
Jing Zhe nodded.
It's not the theft itself that's worrisome, but the thief's eye on him. Although Jing Zhe has reached the Grandmaster level and is not afraid of trouble, he has too many women, and he is afraid that someone will set their sights on them.
At this moment, Zhu Xinning sighed, "But, already some people know!"
"..."
Jing Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You're not outsiders, so you know, I can't just not tell you, can I?"
The only people who know that the Immortal Transformation Pill has an antidote are Jing Zhe's women, which is why he finds it funny.
Zhu Xinning glanced at him. "Have you considered giving this Immortal Transformation Pill to His Majesty?"
"..."
"No matter what, His Majesty is Mo Chen's father and the ruler of a country. Do you think he should give it to him or not? You can choose not to give it to him, but have you considered what Mo Chen will think?"
"Second sister, I really hadn't thought of that before..."
Jing Zhe sighed. Sometimes, because he was involved, he didn't see things as clearly as Zhu Xinning.
"Second sister, please tell us everything you're thinking!"
At this moment, Zhu Xinning analyzed, "Actually, His Majesty treats you well, and now he is wholeheartedly devoted to the country and its people, making him a wise ruler. Most importantly, His Majesty is Mo Chen's father, and in my opinion, it is perfectly reasonable to give His Majesty one of these Immortal Transformation Pills."
"Moreover, we live in Anguo and are bound by worldly affairs. Since His Majesty values you so much, if His Majesty can remain in power, wouldn't that be a kind of protection for us?"
"..."
That's true. Emperor An has taken great care of Jing Zhe. With him around, Jing Zhe can feel more at ease no matter how many mistakes he makes, because he knows that no matter what happens, Emperor An will protect him.
After all, he had no desire to be emperor.
Furthermore, he will become his father-in-law, so the longer he stays on the throne, the more protection he will receive.
If someone else were to ascend the throne, even if it were Crown Prince Su Moyan, with whom he had a good relationship, who could guarantee how he would treat him in the future?
