Half an hour later.
The "Princess of Southern Xinjiang" came out, and Qiu Xiang immediately drew her sword on alert. But the "Princess of Southern Xinjiang" burst out laughing.
It was Shiliu's voice that said, "Sister Qiuxiang, please wait."
A Yuan and A Xiang were stunned.
Jiang Jiaojiao's eyes lit up. She looked closely and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so similar!"
He has a completely different face.
The "Princess of Southern Xinjiang" looked smug, and deliberately adopted a cold, stubborn, and disdainful attitude, making her look more and more like the character.
“I’ve been secretly observing her for the past few days, and I think she can keep the people around her in line.”
"Pomegranate said confidently."
Qiu Xiang exuded a murderous aura as she asked Jiang Jiaojiao, "Princess... what should we do with the one inside?"
Qiu Xiang rarely spoke, but she pointed her sword at the real princess of Southern Xinjiang inside the room, ready to end the lives of everyone in the room as soon as Jiang Jiaojiao gave the order.
Jiang Jiaojiao shook her head, "If she dies, the Southern Frontier will definitely sense it. She cannot die, and even her Gu worms cannot be harmed."
Fortunately, she found a drug in her medical records.
It can not only make people who are taking Chinese medicine feel weak and lose control, but it can also bewitch insects and animals.
She'll leave it for now; she hasn't decided where to go yet.
"Jiaojiao is right."
Prince Chen walked in from outside the door.
Backlit, he resembled a celestial being, handsome and otherworldly. His phoenix eyes, with their upturned corners, added a touch of alluring charm, both demonic and enchanting. His thin lips were naturally red, making him an absolute beauty.
Jiang Jiaojiao was stunned once again. After regaining her senses, her face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment.
He muttered a curse under his breath.
Pooh--
Fairy!
Prince Chen was very satisfied with Jiao Jiao's reaction. Since Jiao Jiao loved his looks, he would naturally dress up to please her.
"Don't worry, Jiaojiao, I've already thought of a good place for her."
He spoke gently.
Jiang Jiaojiao was taken aback, and her voice inexplicably carried a hint of sourness that she herself didn't realize, "What good place are you talking about?"
Upon seeing this, Prince Chen's eyes curved upwards even more, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips.
“She is now the Emperor’s concubine, so naturally she should go to the palace.”
This was the path she chose; he simply accommodated her.
Jiang Jiaojiao was taken aback at first, but quickly understood what he meant.
As the saying goes, "the darkest place is under the lamp," meaning that the person behind her would never have imagined that she was hiding under that face.
A smirk played on his lips as he teased, "You're willing to do that?"
“I can’t bear to see Jiaojiao angry, I can’t bear to see Jiaojiao sad, I can’t bear to see Jiaojiao in a difficult situation… and I can’t bear to see Jiaojiao overworked.”
"I'd give up anything but Jiaojiao."
Prince Chen's voice was low and gentle.
Hearing this, Jiang Jiaojiao blushed and said coquettishly, "I can't be bothered with you, you can have me."
That's all.
He was so ashamed that he fled in panic.
Ah Yuan and Ah Xiang chuckled and quickly followed. His Highness's affection for Miss was something he wanted to proclaim to the world—oh yes, he had already proclaimed it to the world.
I'm so happy for you, Miss.
Qiu Xiang glanced at it indifferently.
It turns out that it's not just women who can be coquettish; men can be even more charming and affectionate than women.
This was exactly what the princess wanted.
If it were her, she would have kicked the person away the moment she uttered the first word.
The two men outside the door, one with bruised knives and the other with red knives, stared wide-eyed, like two idiots.
It must be that the foot you stepped into the door was wrong, causing you to hallucinate.
The two of them pulled their feet back at the same time and stepped in with the other foot, just in time to see their prince smiling at the princess's fleeing back... their hearts fluttered with desire.
Oh no, it turns out His Highness is a love-struck fool!
Only after Jiang Jiaojiao's figure had completely disappeared did the "love-struck" man turn his gaze away.
The smile on his face vanished instantly, and when he looked at Dao Qing and Dao Hong, his face was cold. "Send her back to the palace. Burn incense in the palace day and night so that she and the Gu worms are powerless to move!"
He remembered that dream.
In order to save those around him, they were all trapped in the Southern Frontier Dream Marsh and fed with Gu worms.
He spent his days in a daze, neither fully awake nor asleep, like a wandering ghost drifting in the air. One moment he was in the capital, watching his father fall critically ill, the fifth prince and the second prince vying for power, and the court scheming and plotting...
One minute Jiao Jiao refuses marriage and runs away, only to be killed by bandits; the fifth prince ascends the throne, and the Jin family's property is confiscated...
In a fleeting moment, it felt as if I had returned to the southern border, feeling utterly powerless, like a living dead.
He seemed to be dreaming, or as if his soul had left his body.
He could not accept or tolerate any of these scenes.
Dao Qing and Dao Hong were jolted awake and immediately went to the side hall to take the person away.
Shi Liu was also startled and took a step back, whispering, "Your Highness..."
"Tell the person who contacted you that I am now under your control and my days are numbered."
Prince Chen gave the order in a cold voice.
The purpose of the face swap was to get her to contact the person behind it.
Shi Liu quickly agreed and was about to bow when she immediately felt the Prince's cold gaze. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly straightened up and changed to a Southern Frontier greeting.
At least she managed to maintain her "Princess of Southern Xinjiang" persona.
Three days later.
The Imperial Physician returned to the palace with news that Prince Chen's poison had been cured. The Emperor was overjoyed and bestowed upon him countless rare medicinal herbs, as well as a royal carriage to take him back.
Rumors flew like wildfire in the capital.
The Duke's Mansion, the Minister of Revenue's Mansion, and the General of Weiyuan's Mansion all sent gifts and greetings to Prince Chen as soon as he returned home.
Luo Shier paced back and forth at the gate of the mansion, almost getting dizzy from all the spinning.
Upon seeing the imperial carriage in the distance, he rushed towards it.
"Jiaojiao—"
These days, Luo Twelve is anxious and frustrated, wishing she could rush to the Imperial Estate, but her father and mother keep a close watch on her and stop her from disturbing the peace.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiaojiao stopped the imperial carriage and instructed, "You escort His Highness to the residence. I will visit him later."
After saying that, he grabbed Luo Twelve and left.
Luo Shier was itching to see how His Highness was doing, but Jiang Jiaojiao grabbed her hand and asked anxiously before she could even step into the Yiren Mansion.
"Jiaojiao—how is His Highness?"
"Has the poison been neutralized?"
How is your recovery?
"Who poisoned him? Have they been caught?"
Jiang Jiaojiao ignored all the replies and kept walking towards the Yiren Mansion, with a little redness at the corner of her eye, whether from crying or rubbing.
Luo Shier became even more anxious.
As he followed them inside, he pulled a wooden box from his sleeve. "This is a snow lotus I found in my grandmother's storeroom. She said it can cure all poisons. Take it and let His Highness try it."
Jiang Jiaojiao remained silent until she entered the inner courtyard and sent away all the old women and maids who were serving her.
He smiled and said his first words: "Your Highness has been cured of the poison and is in good health."
Koro Twelve didn't believe it at all.
“What kind of relationship do we have? You’re still lying to me. It’s all over the place. They say the poison comes from the southern border and is extremely vicious. Even if you’re cured, your body will be ruined.”
"His Highness Prince Chen's health was already weak, and after this ordeal, I'm afraid there's nothing he can do."
"Even the Imperial Advisor said that this is a life-or-death calamity for His Highness."
"No one in the capital believes Your Highness can pull through. His Majesty has even bestowed upon you the imperial carriage. Is Your Highness... is Your Highness..." unable to make it?
Luo Shier simply couldn't bring himself to say the last three words.
I was afraid of upsetting Jiaojiao.
What will happen to Jiaojiao if His Highness is gone?
