Chapter 7 This is True Love
Early the next morning.
Jiang Rong woke up from her dream, and there was no one in the bed. The maid Yingxia came up to her attentively and whispered:
"Miss, what happened last night? Why is Sister Yingchun missing?"
Jiang Rong frowned. Perhaps because she killed Yingchun first in this life, Xie Lingxi didn't deal with her people anymore.
It just so happens that Yingxia can still be of some use if she is kept.
"She plotted to murder the prince, but he discovered it and burned her body." Jiang Rong said calmly, "I am very satisfied with this marriage now. I will kill anyone who dares to murder the prince."
Yingxia was stunned. This shouldn't happen.
Even if Sister Yingchun had ten times the courage, she would not dare to murder the prince!
Moreover, the young lady said two days ago that she and Xie Lingxi were sworn enemies and that it was either you or I. How come she changed her words after sleeping with that playboy for a night?
Yingxia thought that she should secretly report the changes in the Second Miss to the Madam.
"Where is the prince?" Jiang Rong asked as she let them change their clothes.
"The prince got up a quarter of an hour ago and went to the study." Yingxia said, and then muttered, "For a playboy like him, I don't know what the study is for."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yingxia felt a cold gaze falling on her.
"If you dare to speak rudely to the prince again, I will send you to accompany Yingchun." Jiang Rong said slowly, with a slight curve in his thin lips: "You always like lively places, and there are many people at the mass grave in the west of the city. Do you think it suits you?"
"Miss, please forgive me. I deserve to die!" Yingxia was so scared that she knelt down with a thud.
In the Jiang family, Madam could protect them, but now they are in the Xie family. By the time Madam gets to know the news, her body will be cold...
"Wait outside the study. When the prince comes out, ask him to come over and serve tea to grandmother together."
Xie Lingxi’s study - Moyanzhai.
"Young Master, this is your Tianshan Snow Lotus. I rode my horse as fast as I could and finally got the medicine back." Xiao Nanxing handed a jade box to Xie Lingxi, his tone very embarrassed:
"Among the nine miraculous medicines, we only have this one. It would be very difficult to gather all nine miraculous medicines to extend the life of the young lady."
"It's really curious. How big of a grudge could a lady like the young lady, who never leaves her house, have against someone to deserve such a vicious poison. The poison of Huangquan cannot be diagnosed by ordinary doctors. Once it takes effect, the poisoned person will be in so much pain that they will eventually commit suicide because they cannot bear the pain any more."
Xie Lingxi didn't comment, and said, "Send the order to collect the remaining eight kinds of medicinal herbs. Boil this medicine and send it to her."
"yes!"
Jiang Rong didn't know that the first time they met was in a temple.
She fainted in the peach forest on the back mountain.
Xie Lingxi asked Xiao Nanxing, who was accompanying her, to take her pulse. It turned out that she had been infected with a strange poison for a year, and the attack had occurred in the last month.
He wanted to get Jiang Rong out of the Jiang family.
Shen Wenyuan cannot be trusted.
He would feel at ease only if the people stayed in his house.
Xiao Nanxing took the herbs and prepared to boil them, but he was still very puzzled.
People say that the prince is a playboy and is attracted to Miss Jiang Er because of her beauty.
But he knew very well that his young master's dandy behavior was just a facade to confuse the royal family. He could not imagine that their young master, who was a scheming and deep-minded man who had no interest in women and was devoted to his imperial career, would actually indulge in love affairs?
But Jiang Rong was infected with a strange poison, and in order to save her, the prince used his treasured Tianshan Snow Lotus without hesitation.
I also have to find the remaining eight miraculous medicines for her.
If this isn't true love, what else could it be?
…
Beiwang Mansion, Songhe Hall.
"Grandson and granddaughter-in-law, we pay our respects to grandma. Please have some tea." Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi knelt side by side in front of the old concubine Xie and held up the teacups.
"Okay, okay!" Old Concubine Xie took the teacup with a smile, her eyes fell on Jiang Rong and looked at him, her smile was very kind and gentle.
After drinking the tea, he personally put an ancestral jade bracelet on Jiang Rong.
"Thank you, grandma--" Jiang Rong kowtowed respectfully to the old lady.
In her previous life, Xie Lingxi saved her and became a living dead. She thought she would be driven out by the angry old concubine, but the old lady treated her like her own granddaughter.
Most of Jiang Rong's skills were taught by her. In her heart, this old lady is like her own grandmother.
After serving tea to their grandmother, Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi stood up.
The Northern Prince was stationed in the northern border and was not in the capital. The Northern Princess Chen was deceased, and there was no one in the room worthy of the two of them serving tea.
Old Concubine Xie took Jiang Rong's hand and introduced them to her one by one.
But when Jiang Rong looked around, he saw a room full of familiar faces.
Concubine Zhao, who sat on the left, was the daughter of an earl and gave birth to a concubine's eldest son, Xie Yuanwen, who married Qiao. Concubine Li, who sat on the right, was the daughter of a prefect and gave birth to a concubine's eldest daughter, Xie Ruo'e.
In addition, Xie Ruojiao, the five-year-old child Xie Lingan who looked at her curiously with his big round eyes, and Xie Lingxi were all the children of the late Princess Chen.
The Chen family is a military family under the Northern King.
The Northern King's wives and concubines were all of ordinary origin.
This is because the Prince of Bei's Palace is the only king of a different surname in Daxia. It rises and falls with the country, is hereditary, holds a large number of troops, and is the most powerful person in the dynasty.
In order to reduce the suspicion of the royal family, the Northern Prince's Palace has always kept itself aloof, never formed factions, and even less married into the ranks of powerful officials and nobles.
Jiang Rong later took charge of the Northern Palace for ten years and was very familiar with the inside story. She also wondered if Xie Lingxi had been pretending to be a playboy all this time in order to protect the Northern Palace.
