Jiang Yao almost thought she had misheard.
"You want me to pour you tea? Who do you think you are?"
At this moment, Jiang Ran whispered, "Your Majesty, she is Xiao Li's younger sister, Princess Xiao Yue."
Jiang Ran had just finished speaking.
There was a hissing sound...
A flash of cold light appeared, and the tip of the Embroidered Spring Blade was already pressed against the plum blossom mark between Jiang Yao's eyebrows. A trace of red seeped out, it was hard to tell whether it was cinnabar or blood.
"Jiang Yao, this princess solemnly reminds you."
"First, you drugged my brother-in-law, attempting to take advantage of him and harming his body. Remember this, for this alone, I can kill you!"
"Secondly, put away your pathetic identity as the Empress of Jiang Kingdom. You are no longer an empress. If you dare to call yourself '朕' (the imperial "I") again, your elder sister will only slap you, and this princess will kill you outright!"
With one foot on the chair and the Embroidered Spring Knife in her right hand, Xiao Yue looked down at Jiang Yao and Jiang Ran with a domineering gaze.
Her dashing appearance lasted less than three seconds...
But then, a sudden change occurred!
With a loud "bang," the room door was suddenly smashed open!
Outside the room, a white figure appeared.
The newcomer was a woman dressed in white.
The woman in white, wearing a cloak and a veil, drew a soft sword from her waist with one hand and flicked out a hidden weapon with the other without saying a word.
The hidden weapon flew in with lightning speed, and with a sudden jolt, it deflected the Embroidered Spring Knife in Xiao Yue's hand!
Xiao Yue was immediately shocked. How did this woman manage to do that?
The force was so great that it almost knocked the embroidered spring knife out of her hand...
The woman who arrived was none other than the Holy Maiden Jiang Lianyue.
"Xiao Yue, what do you think you're doing! Are you looking for death?"
The saint's voice was as cold as ice in the twelfth lunar month, sending chills down one's spine.
In that instant, she leaped forward like a dragonfly skimming the water, her soft sword pointing at Xiao Yue's face like a dancing snake.
Xiao Yue suddenly drew her knife to threaten Jiang Yao, and Jiang Lian Yue suddenly burst through the door; these two events happened in the blink of an eye…
The sudden turn of events left Qin Chuan, Jiang Yao, and Jiang Ran somewhat bewildered.
Seeing that Jiang Lianyue was pointing her sword at Xiao Yue and seemed to have murderous intent, Qin Chuan disregarded everything else and, in front of all the women, pulled out an electric baton from his waist and shouted, "Jiang Lianyue! Stop!"
Seeing Qin Chuan's expression change, Jiang Yao immediately cried out, "Lian Yue, no!"
After all, Xiao Yue was only threatening and didn't actually intend to do anything.
Jiang Lianyue seemed to have murderous intent, and it was clear that Qin Chuan cared deeply for Xiao Yue. Jiang Yao understood that if Jiang Lianyue really hurt Xiao Yue, it would be detrimental to her, so she stopped her.
"I didn't really mean to hurt her, I was just trying to scare her."
Jiang Lianyue sheathed her soft sword, but her gaze was fixed on Qin Chuan.
Seeing him take out the stun gun, she realized the seriousness of the situation.
Qin Chuan hadn't expected things to escalate like this. Seeing that Jiang Lianyue had no intention of harming Xiao Yue, he simply threw the stun gun on the ground.
At this moment, Jiang Ran took the initiative to pick up the teapot and teacups, poured tea for the four of them, and then went behind Qin Chuan. While massaging Qin Chuan, she said, "It's such a hot day, calm down. Let's talk things out slowly and let His Highness make the decision..."
When she said "Your Highness," she deliberately rubbed her soft, rounded breasts against Qin Chuan's back. Qin Chuan felt very comfortable, and his eyes even narrowed slightly.
I found her words very helpful.
To be honest, Jiang Ran isn't exactly stunningly beautiful. Her looks aren't as striking as Jiang Lian Yue's, much less so than Jiang Yao's or Xiao Li's. Her temperament also falls short of Xiao Yue's or Ru Yan's, and her physical flexibility isn't as good as Ru Shi's. But the key thing is, she's really good at flattering people. Her words are truly pleasing to the eye...
Jiang Yao, Xiao Yue, and Jiang Lianyue, having just finished their life-or-death struggle, finally turned their gazes to Qin Chuan...
Xiao Yue spoke first: "Brother-in-law, I still have to mention those two things. They can't use drugs on you anymore. Also, Jiang Yao can't refer to herself as 'I, the Emperor.' In this whole world, only two people can refer to themselves as 'I, the Emperor'..."
"Hmm? One is your royal sister, and who is the other?" Jiang Ran asked gossipily.
Jiang Yao and Jiang Lianyue simultaneously fixed their gazes on Qin Chuan, their meaning all too clear—it was him, of course…
However, Qin Chuan quickly shook his head, "Don't look at me like that. I would never want to be emperor in my life. Li'er has told me more than once to be emperor, but I will never do it!"
"Then there's only one left..." Jiang Ran pouted, and tightened her grip slightly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yao gave a light snort, "Then I won't refer to myself as '朕' (Zhen, meaning 'I')."
Snap!
Xiao Yue slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and pointed at Jiang Yao and Qin Chuan, saying, "Brother-in-law! Look at her! She still refuses to change her address!"
Qin Chuan glanced at Jiang Yao: "Yao Yao, then you can change how you refer to yourself."
Jiang Yao's bright eyes widened in surprise; she wondered if she had misheard again!
"Yaoyao..."
As she pondered this new nickname, she chuckled, almost bursting out laughing!
This address was completely unexpected for her!
Okay, if he likes it, let him call me that...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao said, "Then I won't refer to myself as '朕' anymore. Can I refer to myself as '本宫' instead?"
“No, that won’t do either!” Xiao Yue said resolutely.
Xiao Yue thought to herself, "I haven't even referred to myself as 'This Empress,' so where do you get the nerve to...?"
Jiang Yao snorted coldly, her face showing displeasure, and looked at Qin Chuan: "This won't do, that won't do, you're such a domineering sister-in-law..."
Qin Chuan looked at Xiao Yue, then at Jiang Yao: "Yao Yao, then you can call yourself 'This Empress'."
"Oh dear, brother-in-law!"
"snort!"
Xiao Yue wanted to say something more, but Jiang Yao gave her a cold snort and a look.
Then, Jiang Yao said, "Qin Chuan, I also have a request."
"you say."
"This Empress, Lian Yue, and Jiang Ran cannot be maliciously targeted by your Empress. Don't even think about getting us out of the capital. We will not submit. We will not go anywhere. We just want to serve you by your side..." Jiang Yao gazed at Qin Chuan with pitiful eyes.
Qin Chuan knew she was faking it, but Jiang Yao was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and he certainly couldn't bear to send her away. It would be best if she could stay by his side.
Thinking of this, he said, "Yaoyao, don't worry. As long as you listen to me obediently, I will ensure that the three of you are safe and sound. Come back to the Prince of Yan's mansion with me later."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Great! Great!"
Jiang Yao smiled gently, lowered her head slightly, as if revealing a hint of shyness.
Jiang Lianyue remained expressionless. She removed her cloak but still wore a veil, and did not drink tea, seemingly lost in thought.
However, Xiao Yue's eyes widened, and she blinked, "Brother-in-law, are you really not afraid of being stabbed to death by my sister?"
