Chapter 9 I'm just pretending
Seeing that Xiao Linyuan was not angry, Wang Ge continued, "The old princess suspected Zeng Yuanshuang was the emperor's spy and took the initiative to lock him up in the woodshed.
Soon Xiao Jin proposed to replace Zeng Yuanshuang with another. His subordinates were not sure whether he was just trying to take advantage of the situation or really wanted to save Zeng Yuanshuang from danger.
However, Miss Mianmian is extremely important to the prince at the moment. Liao Yan's medical skills are already better than those of the Imperial Hospital, but he still cannot save the prince's life. Miss Mianmian appeared, and you woke up in less than five days. She contributed a lot to this.
On the surface, she doesn't seem to be on good terms with the people in the Xiao Mansion, so this might be an opportunity."
Xiao Linyuan nodded. It didn’t matter whether they were enemies or friends. The most important thing was to save his life first so that everything else could happen.
If you lose your life, everything is just empty talk.
"Has there been any progress regarding the king's poisoning in the past few months?"
"Yes." Wang Ge recounted the evidence in his hand one by one.
"Alright, step up the intensity. Since the tyrant thinks my achievements are too great to be true, then let's really give him a warning."
As if thinking of something, Xiao Linyuan suddenly changed the subject: "Also... prepare some bath water for her tonight. It's sticky in the summer, and she has done a great service in curing my illness."
Wang Ge didn't think much about it and responded "yes".
She was about to leave, but when she saw that her prince seemed to be hesitant to speak, she just stood aside obediently.
After a period of mental struggle, Xiao Linyuan finally asked, "Did the king and her make a promise?"
Wang Ge was stunned for a moment before he understood who this "she" was referring to.
"Miss Mianmian must be afraid of the prince's majesty, so she keeps mumbling to herself every day..." Wang Ge found it difficult to speak.
"I felt it was not a good idea to hear that, so I moved a little further away. I don't know whether we actually made a pinky promise or not."
Not knowing whether Xiao Linyuan was satisfied with this answer, he just waved his hand and let Wang Ge leave.
——
It was another hour of the night, and Xiao Jin brought Zeng Yuanshuang here again.
The old princess only allowed Xiao Jin to come in through the back door, but he always walked in more ostentatiously than when he walked in through the front door.
He was wearing a white wide robe with dark patterns, holding a folding fan with the words "high moral character and upright integrity" inscribed on it, and his posture was elegant.
From a distance, it looks elegant and lofty, as if it is awe-inspiring and inviolable.
Not to mention the three beautiful maids following behind him, adding a touch of romantic charm to the young man in white.
The old princess stood under the pavilion in the garden, looking at the group of people with such rage that she felt like gritting her teeth.
Qingzhi walked at the back, glanced at Xiao Jin, and then glanced at Song Zijin.
"Mianmian specially brought some pastries today. Is it to replenish your energy if you're tired during the journey?"
Song Zijin did bring some homemade pastries.
Excluding the fact that it was for Qingzhi, Xiao Linyuan was dizzy again, so it could only be a snack she prepared specially for him.
Xiao Jin seemed not to hear it, his steps remained steady, and he showed no sign of asking any questions.
Although Song Zijin has recognized Xiao Jin's true character, she is still his wife in name only. Such indifference pierces her heart like a dagger.
Now that no one is protecting her, she has to learn to support herself.
She lifted the food box in her hand and said with a smile, "Isn't it right to take this matter seriously? The day my child is born, he will be the noble little prince, the only king of a different surname in Dali.
You know, we maids can never become the wife of a prince or nobleman in our lifetime. If I don't rely on this opportunity, the children I give birth to can only be illegitimate sons who can't inherit the family line.
Even worse, he would become a peddler and be looked down upon forever. Isn't that right, Sister Qingzhi?"
Qingzhi was trembling all over, looking at Xiao Jin's back with red eyes, but she did not get any response from the man.
Zeng Yuanshuang turned around and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face.
Song Zijin didn't care.
One is a concubine who is a daughter of a commoner, and the other is a maid who is obedient and useful but cannot even be a concubine. It is obvious that they are both miserable women and should stick together for warmth, but here they stab each other for a despicable man.
Since she loves stabbing people so much, she might as well help stab them to her heart's content.
Qingzhi, who received no response, finally lowered his head and said nothing more.
Song Zijin did not feel any joy of victory. She did not feel any pleasure in defeating such a person who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak.
The palace is very large, and there are more than a dozen courtyards to walk from the back door to Ruifeng Courtyard. Some time ago, Song Zijin had no time to appreciate the scenery of the palace.
It must be because of the good start with Xiao Linyuan that I feel much more cheerful today. I even have the leisure to look at the pavilions and towers in various parts of the palace.
Although it was the beginning of summer, the flowers in the palace were not blooming very well, which was enough to show that the owner of the palace was quite discouraged.
Song Zijin felt a little proud in her heart. She thought that when the old princess learned that her son could recover, she would definitely treat her as a guest of honor!
By then, thanks to the great life-saving favor from the Jinyue Palace, my parents and my younger sister and brother will definitely have a good place to go, and their family will definitely be reunited again!
Thinking of this, her mood, which had been heavy for several days, suddenly became clearer and her steps became lighter.
After lighting the incense, Xiao Jin went to the ear room.
As a military general, Xiao Linyuan's hearing was naturally better than that of ordinary people. He clearly recognized the man's steps. It seemed that this was his good brother.
He is really cautious, even doing things like lighting incense himself.
Suddenly thinking of something, Xiao Linyuan felt embarrassed.
The incense has miraculous effects, doesn't it mean that tonight...
No, he's already awake, how could he still be willing to have anything to do with that woman!
Before he could think of a solution, Song Zijin took off his clothes and climbed onto the bed.
Xiao Linyuan was very resistant, but thinking that there was someone else on the other side of the room, he dug his fingers into the quilt and resisted the urge to punch her away.
Then, he clearly felt a soft body leaning against him.
How can a woman's body be so soft?
Without time to feel more, he shook his head slightly to express his resistance, but he heard the woman's exhalation sound in his ears.
"Eating this candy will block the effects of the fragrance."
This is the deodorizing candy she made based on the ingredients of the spices.
She carefully studied the incense ash she brought back and confirmed that the spice contained a special medicinal ingredient called Ficus microcarpa.
For men, when they first start using it, they will feel as if they are being helped by God and feel ecstatic. However, as time goes by, it will only become worse than before, the quality will deteriorate, and there may even be a risk of impotence.
It has no aphrodisiac effect on women and has no effect at all. If a couple is trying to conceive, the man's sexual function will naturally affect the woman's ability to conceive.
Perhaps, Xiao Jin never wanted her to really give birth to a child for Xiao Linyuan.
This might be a trick to play a trick on the old princess.
It is really vicious. It gives the enemy hope and then severely shatters the enemy's hope, a double blow.
Xiao Linyuan hesitated for a moment, but still obediently opened his mouth and let Song Zijin put the candy into his mouth.
Because of nervousness, her hands were shaking, and her fingertips accidentally touched his wet tongue, which made her feel tingling and numb. She was so scared that she immediately withdrew her fingers.
He leaned over and whispered, "Well, Xiao Jin will be watching from behind the screen... I'll just pretend, you just need to close your ears."
But how can I close my ears?
What's worse is that when people can't see, their sense of touch and hearing becomes more sensitive.
Not to mention her intermittent moans, she rubbed against him all over, even a stone would be set on fire!
Song Zijin noticed something strange under him, stopped and looked down.
Looking at the big brother with his back straight, his eyes widened.
