Chapter 50 If my sister had married her, Xie Yuting would have...
Jiang Yueying's face turned pale. The kitten was already covered in wounds and had not fully recovered. Now it was kidnapped again. How could it survive?
"Where are they?"
Qing Ge frowned. "On the stone bridge over Feiyu Lake in the Imperial Garden."
Jiang Yueying turned around and walked towards the Imperial Garden.
Qingge clenched his fists and hurriedly followed.
The wind was chilly and a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the lake in the imperial garden, reflecting a sharp cold light. A circle of palace maids gathered on the stone arch bridge.
In the center of the palace stood a young girl in gorgeous crimson clothing. She had a long whip on her waist and wore gorgeous pearls and jade on her head, which jingled. Her eyebrows were as dark as smoke and her lipstick was three times brighter than pomegranate flowers, revealing her sharp temperament.
Jiang Yueying glared at the skinny little black cat coldly and curled her lips in disgust.
This little broken thing is not fun at all, and her step-sister treats it like a treasure. How stupid!
A palace servant trembled and said, "Your Highness, this cat belongs to Princess Anyi. I'm afraid..."
All the palace maids who knew about Jiang Yueying's substitutionary marriage were executed. Princess Anle is now surrounded by a new group of servants, so in their eyes, the restored Princess Anle Jiang Baozhen is as cruel as the original Princess Anyi Jiang Yueying.
If the two sisters were to confront each other, Your Majesty would be in a difficult position to favor either of them, and the situation would be difficult to resolve.
In order to avoid making things too awkward, the palace servants had no choice but to persuade her.
Jiang Yueying glared at him: "Oh, do you think I'm afraid of her?"
He's just an imposter who stole her identity, how dare he yell at her?
The palace maids were sweating profusely and were at a loss as to what to do.
Jiang Yueying picked up the black kitten and smiled innocently and cruelly: "I am very curious whether cats can swim."
After saying this, he stepped forward and was about to throw the cat directly from the bridge into the lake.
In the dead of winter, a layer of biting ice formed on the surface of the lake. The kitten struggled wildly in her hands, howling heartbreakingly.
Just as I was about to let go, a voice came from afar.
"stop!"
Jiang Yueying ran very fast, and arrived at the arch bridge panting, standing face to face with Jiang Yueying.
After several months, the two sisters met again.
The situation suddenly became serious.
Jiang Yueying muttered something bad and threw the kitten in her hand to the ground. At the moment when the kitten was about to hit the ground, a dark figure rushed over, grabbed the kitten's neck and kidnapped it.
Qiqi let go of the kitten, held it in her arms, and grinned at Jiang Yueying.
Seeing this, Jiang Yueying sneered: "It's both a cat and a wolf. I didn't expect my sister to like raising animals so much."
As soon as he spoke, there was a strong sense of provocation.
Jiang Yueying was not willing to conflict with her unless it was absolutely necessary.
She said: "Sister, I just raised a cat to relieve my boredom. Since you don't like cats, I will take it away."
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.
Jiang Yueying got angry when she saw her face which was exactly the same as her own. Why? She was the only princess of Jiang Kingdom, but a lowly maid from the cold palace dared to argue with her. She was so bold.
"stop."
"What else is there, sister?"
"You can go, but the cat has to stay."
The kitten immediately jumped into Jiang Yueying's arms. Her knuckles turned pale, and her palms were covered with sweat. She silently hugged the fragile cat tightly.
No, you can't give her the cat.
But she couldn't completely break off relations with Jiang Yueying. If she really brought the matter before Emperor Jiang, her father would definitely not help her.
Jiang Yueying stood there and hesitated to move, while Jiang Yueying pressed on step by step. The palace maids and eunuchs beside her did not dare to breathe and were very anxious.
Qiqi at his feet was ready to attack, his wolf fangs flashing, and his eyes staring at Jiang Yueying without blinking.
Jiang Yueying quickly picked up Qiqi and stuffed it into Qingge's arms, asking her to take good care of the little wolf. If it accidentally bit Jiang Yueying, things would only become more difficult.
"Sister, this cat has always been mine. There's no reason to give it to you." She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.
Jiang Yueying snorted, and said calmly: "Really? I just like to steal your things, so what?"
She strode forward and came directly in front of Jiang Yueying, reaching out to grab the struggling kitten in her arms. Jiang Yueying was afraid of hurting the kitten in the chaos, so she could only dodge. As the two of them were pulling each other, Jiang Yueying's eyebrows raised and she reached out to push her.
There was no fence on the stone bridge, and Jiang Yueying was standing close to the edge of the bridge. With this push, Jiang Yueying fell backwards.
Everyone was shocked that Princess Anle actually pushed Princess Anyi off the bridge!
In the middle of the bridge, behind Jiang Yueying was the cold lake water. She opened her eyes wide and watched everything shrink and move away. The feeling of weightlessness was suffocating.
She knew she was about to fall into the lake, but even so, she did not let go of the shivering little black cat in her arms. Instead, she held it tighter.
The lake water must be very cold. Her frostbite had just healed, what if it came back? She didn't want Xie Yuting's medicine to go to waste...
If I had known earlier, I should have snatched the cat and ran away.
Slowly close your eyes and wait for the moment when the water splashes.
The bone-chilling cold did not come, and she fell into a warm embrace. The familiar scent of ginkgo leaves wrapped her tightly.
She opened her eyes in surprise and saw Xie Yuting's cold jaw. His black hair was flying in the wind, like a god descending from heaven.
Xie Yuting held her in his arms and used his lightness skills to get back to the bridge. After landing, he put her down steadily.
The kitten jumped out of his arms and jumped into Qingge's arms.
Jiang Yueying was frightened and pale. She subconsciously hugged Xie Yuting's waist tightly, her arms shaking. He raised his hand to touch her head and whispered in the girl's ear: "It's okay."
One sentence can make people feel at ease. Jiang Yueying raised her aggrieved eyes, like a little animal that was bullied outside and dared to show her vulnerability only when she returned home.
"Who are you?" Jiang Yueying was furious as she failed to succeed. She stared at the man's back, trying to drill a few holes in him.
Xie Yuting turned around slowly, his peach blossom eyes as if hardened by ice piercing straight at Jiang Yueying.
The moment Jiang Yueying saw Xie Yuting's appearance clearly, she was stunned.
Her eyes suddenly narrowed, full of inquiry.
"I am Xie Yuting, the Crown Prince of Liang. What advice do you have for me, Princess Anle?"
Isn't Xie Yuting, the Crown Prince of Liang, a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun? But looking at his Qinggong, it seems to be quite good. Jiang Yueying looked him over with a straightforward gaze.
She originally thought that the Crown Prince of Liang was an ugly drunkard, but who would have thought that this man was more handsome than all the men from Jiang she had met in these years.
Jiang Yueying raised her head proudly: "I'm playing with my sister, and you dare to meddle in my business?"
The palace maids were stunned. Princess Anle actually described the incident of nearly killing someone as a game. What was she playing at? Was she playing with her life?
I thought Princess Anyi was a ruthless character, but I didn't expect her sister to be even more ruthless, and she even killed her own sister.
Xie Yuting's eyes were cold as he said sarcastically, "Pushing your own sister into the lake is what Princess Anle calls a joke, so can my Crown Princess also play with you?"
"How outrageous!" Jiang Yueying was furious.
She picked up the long whip at her waist and swung it out straight away -
Xie Yuting pushed Jiang Yueying towards Qingge and dodged a whip attack by moving sideways.
Jiang Yueying said arrogantly: "He is just a useless prince. If you have the guts, fight me!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't give the other party a chance to speak, and rushed forward with a whip. There was a "snap" sound in the air, and it hit the other party in the face.
Xie Yuting remained calm and composed, dodging the chaotic whip attacks with a few spins. He sneered and mocked, "It's a pity that this long whip can't be used at all in the hands of the princess."
Jiang Yueying's face turned red with anger and she was about to explode.
She has been a powerful figure in the palace for many years, and no one has ever dared to humiliate her like this!
Never let this person off easily!
"Xie Yuting!" Jiang Yueying couldn't help but worry.
Xie Yuting raised his eyebrows at her and gave her a soothing look.
After just one glance, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Xie Yuting was not a person without sense of propriety, so nothing should happen to him.
None of the palace attendants dared to step forward. The internal conflict between the two princesses was one thing, but involving the Crown Prince of Liang was a completely different matter. If things went wrong, it could spark another war between the two countries, and who knows how many people would be implicated...
They held their breath and trembled as they watched the fight intensify before their eyes.
Willow trees are planted on both sides of Feiyu Lake. The trees wither in the cold winter. In the bleak cold wind, two bright figures are fighting on the stone bridge.
Jiang Yueying was aroused to fight, and she whipped the whip with all her might. The sound of the whip hitting the ground drowned out the whistling wind, making a fierce collision.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't touch even a corner of Xie Yuting's clothes.
Damn it, how could his movements be so fast as lightning that I couldn't catch his shadow!
"If you have the guts, don't hide, fight me head-on!" She pointed at him with a long whip.
Xie Yuting smiled and said, "That's all you have, and you still want to force me to make a move?"
Jiang Yueying was enraged and swung her arm. The long whip in her hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, stirring up a gust of cold wind.
He tried his best to strike, but still missed.
Xie Yuting was originally standing on the edge of the bridge. He dodged so lightly that his long whip flew into the air. The huge impact force caused Jiang Yueying to lean forward, her feet slipped, and she flew out.
Her gorgeous skirt bloomed in the air, and she fell straight down like a bird with broken wings.
The moment before Jiang Yueying fell to the bottom of the lake, she saw clearly the expression of Xie Yuting on the bridge. He was looking down at her condescendingly with an unruly look, like a cold lone wolf.
Hateful, yet fatally attractive.
"Splash!" Huge splashes of water splashed everywhere.
Jiang Yueying widened her eyes, unable to believe that Jiang Yueying had fallen like that. She looked at Xie Yuting in panic, but the other party seemed to have expected it and shrugged helplessly.
"I didn't do anything. She fell on her own," Xie Yuting yawned. "Everyone here saw it clearly. Don't blame me."
After saying that, he took Jiang Yueying's hand and turned to leave.
The palace maids, who had already been in a state of dementia, took a long time to react. They collapsed and screamed shrilly: "Hurry and save the princess!"
A group of people rushed down the bridge. Fortunately, Princess Anle was familiar with swimming. She floated to the surface without anyone trying to rescue her, and swam to the lake in a few seconds.
She was soaked, with ice particles stuck to the ends of her hair. Her crimson dress made her frozen skin look pale, like a ghost crawling out of the water.
The palace maids were in a hurry to put a cloak on her and wipe away the cold water droplets.
Jiang Yueying narrowed her eyes and looked at the intimate figures walking away side by side, with resentment flashing in her eyes.
Xie Yuting has a rebellious nature and is the type of man who is most difficult to tame in the world. The more dangerous and fierce a man is, the more she wants to break his hardness and make him surrender at her feet.
The Prince of Liang is very good, she likes him very much.
At this moment, she began to regret letting her adopted sister marry to Liang State in her place. If she had been the one to marry there, Xie Yuting would have belonged to her long ago.
"How is their relationship?" Jiang Yueying's voice was cold.
The palace maid trembled and said cautiously: "I heard that...Princess Anyi and the Crown Prince of Liang have a deep affection for each other, and the Crown Prince of Liang is very protective of the princess..."
The intimate behavior of the Crown Prince of Liang and Princess Anyi has been witnessed by all during this period, and now everyone in the State of Jiang believes that they are in love.
"Go away." Jiang Yueying slapped her hand away.
The palace maid immediately stepped back, fearing that Princess Anle would get angry and implicate herself.
Jiang Yueying touched her cold face, her eyes arrogant: "Deep affection? Ridiculous."
Who is Jiang Yueying? She only gained Xie Yuting's favor by having a face exactly like his and imitating his words and deeds.
To put it bluntly, it's a low-quality counterfeit.
Xie Yuting originally belonged to her, and the counterfeit should return what he got.
Jiang Yueying put on her cloak tightly and strode away.
…
Chaoyang Hall, under the corridor.
The little black cat curled up on the ground, meowing pitifully. Qiqi clung tightly to the little guy, using his thick wolf fur to keep him warm.
"Will something happen?" Jiang Yueying's face was full of melancholy. She was worried that if Jiang Yueying fell like that, there would be a huge mess.
Jiang Yueying has always been unscrupulous and will definitely not swallow this humiliation. She may even report it to Emperor Jiang and ask her father for justice for her.
Rather than being wronged, she was more worried about the impact on the peace between the two countries. Liang and Jiang had finally concluded a reconciliation treaty, but they could not afford to fight again...
Xie Yuting's hands were wandering over her body, stroking from her shoulders downwards, with a serious and rigorous look on his face.
Jiang Yueying felt itchy from his touch, and had no choice but to raise her voice: "What are you doing? Are you listening to me? Why are you touching me at this time...!"
"I'm checking if you have any injuries." Xie Yuting lowered his head and closed his eyes.
"...Oh." Jiang Yueying's momentum instantly weakened.
"Don't worry. Princess Anle can make a scene if she wants. She's the one in the wrong, not us." Xie Yuting didn't take it to heart. "My Beiliang army is strong and we're never afraid of going to war. Even if my father-in-law is angry, he can't do anything to me. Just rest assured."
Jiang Yueying's ears turned red: "Who would want to be with you and your wife..."
Xie Yuting lowered his head and kissed her between the eyebrows, saying mischievously, "I've said so much, and you only heard the word 'husband and wife'?"
"Hmph." Her cheeks were as red as the sunset at this moment.
He pinched the tip of her nose and said, "Next time, don't tolerate others. Just raise your sword and strike. If anything goes wrong, I will take the blame for you."
Others would say this as nonsense, but for Xie Yuting, it is an irrefutable fact. As long as he is by his side, there seems to be no difficulty that cannot be solved.
But she didn't want to cause him any trouble.
"I just don't want to make a big fuss..."
"It turns out that my little princess is so sensible?" Xie Yuting smiled.
Jiang Yueying immediately realized that something was wrong, raised her neck, raised her eyebrows, and changed her words: "I just don't bother to argue with her."
As she spoke, her cheeks turned up, and Xie Yuting took the opportunity to lower his head and kiss her again.
Such a clingy guy, he never gets tired of being with me day after day.
The corners of Jiang Yueying's lips curled up unconsciously, and her dark eyes were filled with a gentle and soft light.
When the two were being intimate, Yu Lang fell from the sky.
Generally speaking, Yu Lang would not disturb their private time unless there was something important to report.
Xie Yuting immediately became serious: "What happened?"
Yu Lang said calmly, "Your Highness, the group of Prince Li's former subordinates who assassinated the Crown Princess have confessed. The death of Queen Jiang was indeed not an accident."
A gust of cold wind blew, and Jiang Yueying froze in place.
