The residence of the Left Prime Minister and Ling Yuan’s courtyard.
Ling Yuan sat on the warm couch, twirling the Buddhist beads in his hand rapidly.
He kept chanting: "Namo Amitabha... Namo Amitabha..."
His tone was pious and the expression on his face was sincere.
But before she could finish two sentences, she suddenly stood up from the warm couch and couldn't help wanting to walk out.
Ling Yuan bit his lips, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Her steps became extremely difficult, as if she was struggling with something in the dark.
And Ling Yuan was indeed fighting back.
After listening to Jiang Yun's words, she stayed in her yard all day, not daring to step out of the yard or see anyone.
But as time went on and it got closer to the hour of Hai, her desire to go out, especially to the lake, became stronger and stronger.
She didn't even know why she wanted to go to the lake, but there was an idea in her mind that urged her to go to the lake quickly.
Just now, Ling Yuan couldn't resist and ran away once. In the end, Ayun's secret guard saw her going to the lake and sent her back.
But not long after that, Ling Yuan wanted to go out again.
Ling Yuan tightly grasped the Buddhist beads in his hand, his expression grim and somewhat painful.
There is about a quarter of an hour left before the hour of Hai.
She told herself over and over in her heart, hold on, hold on, as long as she can hold on through tonight, she will win.
"Well!"
Suddenly, in a flash, Ling Yuan felt as if her head was pierced by a needle, and the pain made her gasp.
The next moment, there was a loud "bang".
Ling Yuan fell backwards and his life or death was unknown.
Several secret guards who were squatting on the beams and guarding diligently saw her fall to the ground and hurriedly jumped down from the beams.
"Miss Ling? Miss Ling?"
"Fainted? How strange!" One of them felt Ling Yuan's pulse on her neck and then felt her breath.
Conclusion: He is not dead, but fainted for unknown reasons.
After a few secret guards from different backgrounds looked at each other, they immediately decided to make some noise to inform the steward of Ling Mansion.
Let the Ling family find a doctor themselves, and the others continue to stay at their posts.
Soon, the Ling family hurriedly invited a doctor.
Looking left and right, I couldn't see anything wrong, so I could only wait for Ling Yuan to wake up on his own.
…
at the same time.
In front of Prince Duan’s Mansion.
Jiang Xuan was drunk and was helped down from the carriage by the guards.
A man in a black brocade robe at the gate of the prince's mansion took a few steps forward and wanted to take Jiang Xuan from the guard.
But he didn't see the slightest hint of coldness in Jiang Xuan's lowered eyes.
She pretended to be drunk and waved away the other person's outstretched hand. It seemed that the news revealed by Jiang Huan at the palace banquet today had a significant impact on her.
Jing Yang was not annoyed. He just smiled to himself and followed them into the palace.
After being helped into the room and lying on the bed, Jiang Xuan closed his eyes and rested.
She looked very drunk, but in fact she was very sober.
Recalling what Jiang Xiaoliu said about Jing Yang betraying him in the future, Jiang Xuan felt shocked and complicated.
After spending some time with Jing Yang, at least in Jiang Xuan's eyes, Jing Yang is not a bad person.
After gaining her trust, the two of them developed feelings for each other. Compared to her fiancé, with whom she had no emotional foundation, Jiang Xuan undoubtedly liked Jing Yang.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought him all the way back to the capital.
She had thought that after she married the king, she would take Jingyang as her concubine. With her around, she would not let anyone bully him.
But Jiang Xuan never expected that a man who kept saying that he loved her, who loved her so much that he didn't care about their status just to be with her, would have such big ambitions.
He was not after a mere position as a concubine in Prince Duan's mansion.
What he wanted was the entire Prince Duan’s Mansion.
They were after Jiang Xuan's money, people and food.
The feelings between them were not real, but were the result of Jingyang's deliberate manipulation.
"Axuan." A gentle and pleasant male voice came from the door. It was Jing Yang's voice.
Jiang Xuan turned a deaf ear.
The footsteps gradually approached, and Jingyang walked in with a bowl of porridge.
"Axuan, you drank a lot of wine at the palace banquet. Eat a bowl of porridge to nourish your stomach, and then go to sleep."
Porridge? !
The porridge was filled with a poison that could control her behavior and mind?
Jiang Xuan immediately sounded the alarm.
Jiang Xiaoliu didn't say when Jing Yang poisoned her, but given her personality, she hasn't completely trusted Jing Yang yet.
If the other party wants to harm you, they will definitely choose to do it when you are drunk and confused, making it easy to fool them.
This bowl of porridge at this moment...it’s terrifying when you think about it carefully.
Jiang Xuan frowned and pretended to open her eyes from her daze. She smiled at Jing Yang and refused.
"I ate a lot at the palace banquet. I can't eat anymore. You can take it out."
Jing Yang put down the porridge, sat on the bedside and leaned over to look at her, his eyes full of tenderness and his tone was softer than before.
It sounds like an extremely gentle entrapment.
"Ah Xuan, this porridge is very good for you, especially since you drank so much wine, you should drink it even more."
"And this is what I worked so hard to make in the mansion for an hour. Xuan, can you drink a little? Just a little?"
"Come, I'll feed you, you don't have to drink it yourself."
Jing Yang picked up the bowl of porridge and scooped a spoonful with the snow-white spoon and blew it carefully.
Wait until you are sure it is not hot before feeding it to her mouth.
Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes suddenly, and a cold light flashed across Jing Yang's eyes imperceptibly.
She emphasized that she didn't want to drink it anymore, but Jing Yang was still trying hard to persuade her to drink it.
It seems that something was added to this bowl of porridge.
"Axuan?" Jing Yang looked at her and saw that she didn't open her mouth, seeming a little anxious.
Oh!
Jiang Xuan sneered in his heart, and immediately stopped pretending and asked in a cold voice.
"You're so anxious for me to drink the porridge, is there something added to it?"
The smile on Jing Yang's face almost froze. He tightened his grip on the bowl of porridge, his eyes met Jiang Xuan's cold eyes, and he said with a smile.
"Axuan, are you drunk and confused? Don't you know how I treat you?"
"Okay then, if you drink a sip of this porridge, I will believe you." Jiang Xuan looked at him leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, the smile on Jing Yang's face completely disappeared.
He looked at Jiang Xuan with disappointment and pain, as if he was looking at a heartless man who had betrayed his feelings.
"You actually doubt me?"
"Jiang Xuan! It was me who rescued you from the bandits. I carried you on my back in the mountains for a long time before I found someone to hire a doctor for you.
During that time, I chopped wood, washed clothes, cooked and boiled medicine.
If I wanted to harm you, why did I save you? Why did I do so much for you? "
Jiang Xuan looked at him steadily without saying anything.
