The next morning, Jiang Zhiyu woke up at noon as usual. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Sulan staring at her with a happy look on her face.
Jiang Zhiyu: “???”
Her puzzled expression amused Jiang Sulan. She leaned close to Jiang Zhiyu's ear and whispered mysteriously, "I heard that the Third Prince is having erectile dysfunction!"
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
[I thought there was some kind of melon. The last time I saw you, he couldn't lift it.]
Jiang Sulan:!!!
Last time? Was it the time he visited me at the Shangshu Mansion? He was impotent, yet Xiao Siyuan still showed his attention to me without even showing any emotion?
Jiang Sulan had a new understanding of the depth of Xiao Siyuan's thoughts.
Jiang Zhiyu also had a question.
[At the time, there were not enough medicinal materials, so we only had temporary treatment. The imperial physician should have been able to prescribe the medicine immediately.]
[You're not being embarrassed by not consulting a doctor, are you?]
Jiang Sulan agreed with this idea very much.
Since no imperial physician was sought, how did this matter get out?
Jiang Zhiyu thought about it and said, "Oh shit."
Xiao Siyuan's concubine was Sun Yue, the second daughter of the Minister of War. She had a hot temper and was very jealous. Because of Xiao Siyuan's outspoken behavior, she always regarded her sister as a thorn in her side.
[In order to keep Xiao Siyuan, she desperately wanted to have a child and pestered Xiao Siyuan to have sex with her. Unfortunately, Xiao Siyuan couldn't get an erection right now, and it happened to be right after meeting her sister at the Shangshu Mansion.]
Sun Yue immediately became suspicious and started a scene in the mansion. However, the Minister was still very fond of his daughter. Xiao Siyuan's fight for the throne naturally depended on the Minister's insistence. With no other options, she finally revealed the truth.
Sun Yue was so anxious that she wanted to go to the palace to fetch the imperial physician. Xiao Siyuan used all his strength to stop her, but failed to stop her. Now the medicine had taken effect, but the news of his impotence had spread throughout Tianqi.
Jiang Sulan: “…”
So that's how it got out? My sister is amazing! She knows everything!
[This Sun Yue is truly a sentimental person, but Xiao Siyuan has no time to punish her as he is currently coaxing his beloved in the palace.]
Jiang Sulan pricked up her gossipy ears.
There are only three types of women in the palace: concubines, princesses, and palace maids.
The first two can basically be ruled out. She really wants to know what kind of palace maid could catch Xiao Siyuan's eye and make him willing to get rid of her.
[Speaking of which, who would have thought that Xiao Siyuan's sweetheart was actually his sister, Princess Leyang Xiao Qingwu, who was nominally born of the same mother.]
Jiang Sulan's brain suddenly shut down. Who?!
…
In Yilan Palace, all the serving eunuchs and palace maids were driven out.
Xiao Qingwu was crying bitterly, and Xiao Siyuan squatted in front of her with soft eyes, coaxing her patiently.
"It's nothing. The doctor said I was just poisoned by the drug. The effect has worn off now. I'm fine, brother. Don't cry, dear."
He breathed deeply, his eyes dark and dark.
A crystal teardrop hung on Xiao Qingwu's chin, about to fall. Xiao Siyuan's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he couldn't help but lean over to hold it in his mouth and suck gently.
Xiao Qingwu's crying stopped, but she didn't push him away. She raised her chin slightly, leaned over under Xiao Siyuan's obviously dissatisfied look, and kissed him on the lips.
Having not released his sexual desire for a few days, Xiao Siyuan naturally could not stand this kind of teasing. He stood up while kissing her, inserted his fingers into her hair, and pressed her into his arms.
Xiao Qingwu didn't expect him to react so strongly. She pressed her fair and tender hands on his chest to push him away.
The two of them couldn't calm down for a long time.
Xiao Qingwu said angrily, "It's all Sun Yue's fault. Doesn't she have a brain? Can you say something like this so brazenly?"
Xiao Siyuan embraced her and said, "If it weren't for the support of the Ministry of War, I would have killed her long ago. Her behavior today has given me the opportunity to ignore her. I'm sure the Minister won't dare to say anything more."
Xiao Qingwu pouted: "Can't you divorce her?"
Xiao Siyuan: "If you don't want me to be emperor, I can divorce her."
The room was silent for a moment. Xiao Siyuan held her and rocked her twice. "Okay, I know you care about me. Wait a little longer. When I reach that position, I don't want any harem. Just you is enough."
Xiao Qingwu lowered her head shyly.
"Oh right," Xiao Siyuan thought of the jade pendant hanging around Jiang Sulan's waist. "What kind of medicine did you put on that jade pendant? How come those two sisters are fine?"
That's impossible. She applied a strong poison that took effect on the spot. She had never heard of the sudden death of the prime minister's daughter before, and she suspected that her brother didn't want Jiang Sulan to die.
Xiao Qingwu concealed his doubts and didn't want his brother to know how cruel he was. He whispered, "It's just a trick."
The drug is a chronic poison. If the dose is not deep, it may take several months for the person to die.
My sister is naive and timid, so she must have only applied a thin layer. I just need to wait for a while.
It’s not that he hasn’t thought about marrying Jiang Sulan. The Prime Minister’s support is naturally greater than that of the Minister of War. But his sweetheart hates her so much, so of course he can’t marry her.
What's more, Jiang Sulan may not be deeply in love with me!
…
In the prime minister's residence, Jiang Sulan sat on Jiang Zhiyu's bed, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Xiao Siyuan and Xiao Qingwu are siblings! Isn't this against human ethics and a huge scandal?!
She stared at Jiang Zhiyu who was washing up, but no matter how hard she listened, she didn't hear her complain.
Jiang Sulan was really anxious. In order to satisfy her curiosity, Jiang Sulan racked her brains to come up with a topic.
"Zhiyu, do you think the General's Mansion will hold a grudge against Princess Leyang for breaking off the engagement?"
Jiang Zhiyu: “?”
"Whether the General's Mansion holds a grudge or not, what does it have to do with us?"
Jiang Sulan choked, "I just think that with He Yanting's vengeful nature, if he didn't truly love the princess, he would definitely not let that person go after suffering such a great humiliation."
Jiang Zhiyu became interested when talking about He Yanting.
"That makes sense, but it's also possible that he's waiting for an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop."
[After all, Xiao Qingwu is not of true royal blood.]
[According to the laws of Tianqi, if this matter were to be made public, they would surely be disdained by the Emperor, and Xiao Siyuan would certainly lose his chance at the throne. Given that person's personality, he would definitely want to take advantage of Xiao Siyuan being just one step away from the throne to expose this matter!]
A huge melon hit Jiang Sulan, and her expression went blank again.
Xiao Qingwu is not a real princess? !
But she is the emperor's favorite daughter. If the emperor knew about this...
Jiang Sulan took a breath.
Just as she was about to speak, a maid came in. She was very pretty, with a pair of eyes like a fox. When she stared at you, you would feel as if your soul was being sucked away.
She was Taohong, the maid sent by the old lady to serve Jiang Zhaorong.
"Miss Third, the Prime Minister wants you to come over. He said there's something important to discuss."
