Chapter 96



Lust can blind one’s mind.

Jiang Yi suddenly felt like laughing. The joy of discovering Yan Yiming was still alive overwhelmed his mind, so he didn't notice such an obvious thing?

The prince often lamented to him that if Jian Yuyan had not been dragged down to this point by a woman, he would have been in the court like him now. Because of the prince's words, Jiang Yi never underestimated Jian Yuyan.

So such a man who was so trusted by the prince, spent four years in a state of drunkenness and debauchery for a woman. This shows how important this relationship was in Jian Yuyan's heart. Everyone thought that he would live alone like this and be lost in the decline of everyone, but four years later, the Princess Lin'an really helped him to cheer up again.

Even the crown prince thought that Jian Yuyan had finally let go of the past and had developed feelings for Princess Lin'an. Only Jiang Yi knew that the reason Jian Yuyan reappeared in front of the world was still because of that woman. Yan Yiming cleverly used that woman to take advantage of Jian Yuyan.

Now when he thought of Jian Yuer calling him "Miss A Ming", everything seemed like a joke to him.

Jian Yuyan is not stupid, in fact he is very smart, but why was he interested in Yan Yiming? Even if he believed Yan Yiming's words at the beginning, half a year has passed, so how could he still be kept in the dark?

Unless Yan Yiming really knew everything about the relationship between Jian Yuyan and the actor, and even knew the whereabouts of the woman, and had evidence that was enough to threaten or convince Jian Yuyan, but Yan Yiming had clearly told him before that she was just using a delaying tactic to delay Jian Yuyan, and had not found the woman at all.

Yan Yiming deceived him again.

And he actually believed it.

She was the one who knew the actress best. She knew all her whereabouts and news, because she was the one that Jian Yuyan had been thinking about for four whole years.

Ah, Ming, girl.

Everything seemed to be calm. After Wei Xiongjie signaled the maids around to leave, he sat on the chair opposite Yan Yiming. Yan Yiming poured him a cup of tea. Wei Xiongjie's pretty face suddenly showed a smile and his voice became softer.

Wei Xiongjie took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. Yan Yiming leaned over to take a look and found that it was a map of the capital.

Yan Yiming took the map. Compared with the map he had drawn casually when he was fighting with Shao Jingyu, this one was really good. Especially the topographic map within the palace was incredibly accurate.

On the day when the family of Marquis Dingbei was wiped out, Prime Minister Jian had already sent people to Guangdong and Guangxi to pass on a message, hoping that Prince Jiangxia would be prepared to quietly march north in a month. Prime Minister Jian and his secret agents hidden in the capital would capture the royal family in one fell swoop before Prince Jiangxia officially launched his army.

Nowadays, the imperial guards have the Weiwei leading the southern army to guard the palace, and the lieutenant leading the northern army to guard the imperial capital. Originally, Cao Meng was the Wei General but was demoted to a commoner. Later, Dingbei Hou took over as the Wei General and now his entire family has been executed. Now that Shao Jingyu has not returned, there is no one to take over the position of General Wei, so the emperor simply leaves the position of General Wei vacant until Shao Jingyu returns, and the former Weiwei and Lieutenant will still manage the imperial guards respectively.

The lieutenant of the imperial guards was a subordinate of Marquis Dingbei. Now that Marquis Dingbei is dead, he had reached an agreement with Prime Minister Jian again. However, the general Weiwei who was guarding the palace was upright and incorruptible. For a while, Prime Minister Jian had no choice but to reach out to the general Weiwei and sent people to conspire with the two deputy captains to successfully take control of the Southern Army.

Now the palace is peaceful and calm. Wei Xiongjie, who is so cautious, even has a bit of complacency and smile on his face. He chuckled and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a month. The prime minister has been decided. When the moon is full, the Nangong family will be destroyed."

Yan Yiming nodded with a delighted look on his face, "Your Majesty likes excitement, and will definitely hold a family banquet on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and will definitely send more troops, but I didn't expect that this would just invite a wolf into the house."

"That's right," Wei Xiongjie said with a delighted look, "After the emperor dies, we can announce Master Jian's identity to the world and issue an imperial decree to invite His Majesty to the capital."

Wei Xiongjie paused for a moment before saying, "Does the princess have confidence in Master Jian?"

Of course I am confident, but the confidence may not be what you think, Yan Yiming thought.

Jian Yuyan had clearly revealed all of Prime Minister Jian's secrets. Since Jiang Yi knew Prime Minister Jian's breakthrough point, the Emperor would naturally know it as well. Given Jiang Yi's temperament, he would certainly not alert the enemy, so it was very likely that he would stage a commercial show to steal the throne on the day when Prime Minister Jian was confidently forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Prime Minister Jian thought he had everything under control, but in fact, everything he had was also under the control of the emperor.

Yan Yiming recalled that when she last met Jian Yuyan, Jian Yuyan still had a calm and delicate face, and was still painting and appreciating the scenery leisurely, without any clues. When he saw her coming, he put down the paintbrush in his hand, and with a meaningful look, ordered the maids serving around him to retreat.

Yan Yiming saw this and deliberately talked about King Jiangxia's recent preparations, saying that when things are done, the young master must not forget the agreement he made with her.

Jian Yuyan waved his hand and said no. The two of them chatted back and forth, and it was obvious that they had done a lot of things in private. But at this moment, they were united like grasshoppers on a rope, and they could be called the new generation of movie emperors and actresses.

Yan Yiming and Wei Xiongjie assured that Jian Yuyan was safe, and Wei Xiongjie was relieved. He stayed here and asked for two more cups of tea before leaving reluctantly.

After watching Wei Xiongjie leave, Xiao Pingguo lit a candle for Wei Xiongjie in her heart. The young man was actually a good person, but he was born to be cannon fodder and there was no hope for him.

Looking back at Yan Yiming, she rubbed her eyes and casually asked her what was wrong. Yan Yiming pulled his eyelids and said, "Help me see if there is anything?"

Little Apple opened his titanium eyes and checked it, then touched his head, "No, what's wrong?"

"My eyelids have been twitching," Yan Yiming said, and it was the right eyelid. He pressed it with his hand, but it still kept twitching. People say that if the left eye twitches, it means good fortune, while the right eye twitches, it means disaster. Yan Yiming always felt uneasy and wondered what was wrong.

But everything is going on track, so what could go wrong?

Maybe she was thinking too much and had not gotten enough sleep recently. Yan Yiming comforted herself that in another month after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she could find an opportunity to slip away, and then take Xiaopingguo to travel freely and peacefully until the world was peaceful, and then return home successfully.

Then I'll settle the score with that damn rubbish planner.

Just thinking about this, he fell asleep. In his dream, Yan Yiming dreamed again of when she was still Miss Yan. She was carried into the East Palace in her wedding dress, but when she was near the bridal chamber, a black-clad assassin broke in. She stood up to protect the prince, but the assassin quickly abducted her. In a hurry, she pulled off the assassin's veil, but saw Nangong Ye's handsome face staring at her, and a dazzling silver chain tied her hands.

"You promised to marry me, so stay and stay with me forever."

Yan Yiming pushed Nangong Ye away with a start, and in the blink of an eye the background changed. It was pitch black all around, and the room was so narrow that he couldn't stand up at all. She wanted to reach out and touch what it was, but her arms felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't even lift them. Suddenly, she heard footsteps, and then a familiar voice rang in her ears.

Jiang Yi stroked the coffin in the most gentle voice, as if he was talking to his closest lover, "Even if you die, you can only stay by my side and can't go anywhere else."

Yan Yiming was horrified and fainted again in shock and anger.

She slept very uneasily that night. Sometimes she heard Jiang Yi's gentle yet morbid voice, and sometimes she heard Nangong Ye's cold and stubborn shouting. Finally, she seemed to see Shao Jingyu holding a silver spear, his cold eyes staring at her.

Yan Yiming suddenly opened his eyes, covered his chest and gasped for a few times, then pulled aside the bed curtains, and a few optical fibers were faintly visible through the window.

Yan Yiming slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, daybreak came.
