Yan Xiao left in a hurry without waiting for Chu Heng's reply.
After leaving Chu Heng's room, her expression immediately darkened.
She was originally on the opposite side of Jiang Xinrui and wanted to strike first and kill her first.
As a result, they have already lost the initiative. If their guess is correct, Jiang Xinrui is indeed a time traveler or a reincarnated person, then Jiang Xinrui is definitely on guard against her now.
Not only that, Jiang Xinrui probably felt the same way as herself at this moment, wishing she could kill the other party immediately.
Yanxiao didn't intend to let anyone know that she was a time traveler. Others could be shrewd, but all her strange behavior could be explained by her memories from before she was seven years old. Whether others believed it or not, there was no more reasonable explanation.
Jiang Xinrui is different. Judging from her current behavior, whether she is a time traveler or a reincarnated person, she should know the plot of the original world. Therefore, her unusualness is completely exposed to Jiang Xinrui.
Moreover, I only remember a general structure of the world's development; I have no clear memory of the specific times and people involved.
Judging from the fact that Jiang Xinrui was able to find Qi Chengfeng's confidant immediately, Jiang Xinrui's memory of the world's plot far surpasses that of Qi Chengfeng.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Jiang Xinrui must die, otherwise she will become a major threat, and she must be treated with caution.
However, Jiang Xinrui was already in Yanyun City and was about to become Qi Chengfeng's wife, so finding an opportunity to kill her was not easy.
Moreover, Jiang Xinrui was probably thinking about how to kill her at this moment.
That so-called wedding invitation that is about to be sent to Jiangbei City might be Jiang Xinrui's idea. She must think carefully about how to deal with it later.
At this moment, Jiang Xinrui was sitting opposite Qi Chengfeng.
Jiang Xinrui's expression was cold, and her temperament had changed drastically; she was no longer the serene and aloof woman she once was.
She glanced at the things she had placed on the tea table, then shifted her gaze to the person sitting opposite her, her tone resolute:
"I told you, I will give you that miraculous medicine, but you must give me a guarantee, otherwise it is absolutely impossible."
"At worst, we'll fight to the death and go our separate ways. I've got nothing to lose, so I'm not afraid of anyone wearing shoes."
Qi Chengfeng squinted his phoenix eyes, leaning lazily against the recliner, a fan in his well-defined hands, fanning himself casually, looking very relaxed.
Only his tightly pursed lips betrayed a hint of his current mood.
He didn't reply to Jiang Xinrui immediately. He tilted his head back slightly as if he was thinking about something, and only stopped fanning himself after a while.
Then he picked up the small grayish-white pill from the box on the table, examining it as he said:
“Miss Jiang, I don’t like being controlled by others. I have already agreed to marry you, and the wedding invitations have already been sent out. They are definitely not fake.”
Moreover, I have promised you that once you grant me the throne, I will share it with you, and I will only appoint your heir as the crown prince. I feel that I have already shown great sincerity.
Besides, after the ceremony, we'll be husband and wife. We'll share both glory and ruin. What else do you have to worry about?
Jiang Xinrui was not satisfied with this answer. She gave a self-deprecating laugh, her gaze towards Qi Chengfeng devoid of warmth, containing only the ambition of a negotiator for personal gain.
"Lord Qi is joking. I have no feelings for you. We are only sitting together for our own interests. At this moment, apart from that divine medicine, I have no bargaining chips to negotiate with you."
"If I gave you that miraculous medicine now, I'd be like meat on a chopping board, completely at your mercy. Even if I said I had other abilities to help you succeed, it wouldn't carry the same weight as my words now, would it?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the pill Qi Chengfeng was holding in his hand, her tone resolute and unwavering:
"Unless the city lord takes this medicine and I have some leverage, I will not hand over the divine medicine, whether you marry me or torture me."
A flash of anger crossed Qi Chengfeng's face, but he quickly concealed it.
As a man, impotence is unacceptable to anyone, let alone a man like him who is ambitious, has aspirations, and holds a high position.
This kind of thing can be kept secret for a while, but it will be hard to hide it when he is unable to marry and have children in the future.
He even considered that when he could no longer delay, he would get married, get some hallucinogenic drugs, and find someone to consummate his marriage.
But the idea of deliberately cuckolding oneself and becoming a father is so frustrating that no one would do it unless absolutely necessary.
At this moment, Jiang Xinrui appeared. After all, this woman used to be someone who followed Shen Muzhi, so he had heard of her before and had paid attention to her.
But seeing is believing. This person is nothing like the rumors. All the talk about being indifferent to love and having no regrets is a lie.
The Jiang Xinrui he saw was the kind of person who was ruthless to both others and herself, and very ambitious; she was just like him.
There are still many things about Jiang Xinrui that he can't see clearly. For example, she only glanced at him and could tell that his impotence was unusual.
He found it hard to believe that this was truly due to her superb medical skills. It felt more like she had known about this all along and had chosen to come to Yanyun City because she possessed a miraculous medicine that could be used to negotiate with him.
Jiang Xinrui didn't say anything, and immediately made it clear that she was prepared to die when she came to Yanyun City. If Qi Chengfeng couldn't give her what she wanted, then he shouldn't expect to get any benefit from her.
Conversely, she could completely bind herself to him, making him a real man and bearing him children, so that he wouldn't be childless and wouldn't be ridiculed.
Not only that, Jiang Xinrui was very knowledgeable about the situation of all parties. In order to gain his trust, she revealed to him several spies hidden in Yanyun City when she came, and they caught them all.
No matter how you look at it, Qi Chengfeng would find it hard to refuse someone like that.
There was one condition for Jiang Xinrui to produce the miraculous medicine: he had to take the grayish-white pill beforehand.
Jiang Xinrui made it very clear that she needed to have enough leverage, and right now there was probably nothing more reliable and secure than Qi Chengfeng's life.
