Chapter 187 Eye-Opening
How could she get so close to her "enemy"?
This feeling is like being stabbed in the back by the person you trust the most!
Wasn't she interested in him? Why was she smiling so sweetly at Xiao Zhan?
Why did she go into Prince Gong's Mansion with Xiao Zhan in public?
Is there something fishy going on between the two of them?
"Prince Xichen, it turns out you have a hobby of peeping at other people." Jiang Xue sneered, and with a flick of her fingertips, a golden needle accurately pierced into Jun Li's hand that was holding her, taking the opportunity to break free from his control.
"You..." The sudden pain made Jun Li loosen his hand. He looked at the blood beads on his hand with his eyes wide open.
"Jiang Xue, have you had enough of the trouble?"
"Make trouble? Prince Xichen, you must be mistaken! You should ask yourself! You are violent for no reason and come to my Nanyuan to make trouble. Where do you think this is? Is this your Xichen palace? Do you allow yourself to run wild?"
"Prince Xichen, if you want to lose your temper, please go back to your East Garden and don't embarrass yourself in front of me!" Jiang Xue was a little excited. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
This guy really has the ability to annoy her, and the anger that had just been extinguished was ignited again by him.
Jun Li retreated again and again: "That's all for the sake of the overall situation!"
He held her hand tightly and argued loudly: "If I can't even protect myself, how can I protect you!"
This reason made Jiang Xue sneer.
"What a high-sounding statement, Jun Li. You are still the same as always. No matter what shameful things you have done, you can always find an excuse."
Struggling to break free from his hand, Jiang Xue widened the distance between them and moved closer to him, as if even the air had become turbid!
When he approached her at first, he was attracted by the power of the Ji State Cavalry and the Marquis of Zhenbei behind her.
Once her heart belongs to someone else, won't all of this be like sand in an hourglass, slipping through her fingers?
No! He needs this power to recapture Xichen and take revenge on Beiling! He can't live without her!
Jun Li, who was afraid of losing his support, looked fanatical.
If she became his, he would naturally be able to control her, and those forces would naturally be his too!
"Jun Li, what do you want to do?"
Jiang Xue saw him rushing towards her like a hungry wolf, she turned pale with fright and quickly dodged.
With a flick of his fingertips, the golden needle went straight to his knee!
As he waved his sleeves, powder filled the air. After inhaling it, Jun Li's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground!
"Princess!" Fu Dong Xiaochun rushed over, one of them supported Jiang Xue, and the other kicked Jun Li away cleanly.
"Princess, are you okay?" Fu Dong checked Jiang Xue nervously.
"I'm fine, go check on him."
Xiaochun checked and reported: "He just fell asleep, nothing serious."
Jiang Xue nodded slightly, and after calming down a little, she looked at the unconscious Jun Li, her eyes gradually becoming colder.
I never thought that Jun Li would be out of control like that. This is something I have never seen before. Thinking about it, I felt a chill down my spine. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have fallen into his hands by now.
"How dare you touch the princess!" Xiaochun kicked Jun Li, who had already fainted. The sound was painful to hear.
"Princess, what should we do next?" Fu Dong was calmer than Xiaochun and thought quickly.
Jun Li swaggered into Nanyuan. If he didn't show up for a while, it would inevitably cause gossip and damage the princess's reputation. But if he was carried out so blatantly, it would also cause a lot of trouble.
"Fudong, call Zhou Lang back quickly and ask him to pretend to be Jun Li and go for a ride. As for this gentleman..." Jiang Xue pointed to the large water tank next to her, "Let him swim in the tank and then send him to his carriage."
"clear."
After a while, the gate of Nanyuan opened, and "Jun Li" got on the carriage holding a large water jar and drove away.
A few days later, Jiang Xue accompanied Lu Linyi to the palace to pay respects to Imperial Noble Consort Lin Wan. Before they reached Qiwu Palace, they saw the shadows of Jun Li and Xiao Yan from afar.
“Changle…”
Ever since the last incident at the boat shop, Lu Linyi had tried to stay as far away from these two people as possible, and he was almost sweating from holding Jiang Xue's hand.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Jiang Xue comforted softly and turned to look over there.
Xiao Yan's house arrest was soon lifted at Lin Wan's request. He looked so carefree, as if nothing had happened. When he saw them, he immediately came over with a big smile on his face.
"Princess Changle, Miss Lu."
His eyes specifically lingered on Lu Linyi's face.
"Your Highness Prince Duan, Your Highness Xichen."
The two of them saluted each other as a greeting.
Jun Li's expression was extremely complicated, with a hint of resentment and unwillingness in his eyes. He stared at Jiang Xue's face for a long time, but finally looked away.
Speaking of which, just a few days ago, he was stripped down to his inner lining and thrown at the gate of Dongyuan. If it weren't for Ye Se's help, he would have made a big fool of himself. He would not publicize such a shameful thing, but he had already silently remembered it with Jiang Xue in his heart.
"Last time we were out on the lake, I drank a couple of glasses too much. I was embarrassed by my behavior." Xiao Yan took the initiative to bring up that embarrassing moment, with a look of regret on his face. "Miss Lu must have been frightened. I hereby solemnly apologize."
Before he finished speaking, he bowed, and his sincerity almost made Jiang Xue believe that he was truly repentant.
"This..." Lu Linyi was at a loss for a moment. It was not polite for the prince to salute her. She quickly looked to Jiang Xue for help.
"As a prince, it is very rare for His Royal Highness Prince Duan to occasionally show signs of drunkenness. It is a special experience for Changle and my cousin to have the honor of witnessing this."
Jiang Xue responded with a smile, with just the right amount of teasing in her words, which was both respectful and interesting, and immediately eased the atmosphere.
"Princess Changle is really good at talking." Xiao Yan smiled, thinking, this is eye-opening? She clearly treats me as a joke.
"Your Highnesses are here to pay their respects to the Imperial Concubine, right?" Jiang Xue changed the subject at the right time.
"Mother has been really busy lately, so as a son, it's natural for me to come and visit. It just so happens that I met Miss Lu and Princess Changle today. It can be said that it is fate." Xiao Yan's words had a hint of official tone.
Jiang Xue secretly complained in her heart: You are not doing your best and are under house arrest. How can your mother not worry? But she still smiled brightly and pointed to the gate of Qiwu Palace, "Then, please come in, Your Highness."
"Mo Chen, you're here."
The four of them entered Qiwu Palace one after another. When Lin Wan saw her son, she immediately smiled. After being confined for so many days, she finally saw her son. How could she not be happy?
"Linyi, you're here too!" He waved enthusiastically at Lu Linyi, motioning her to come closer, while he obviously left Jiang Xue and Jun Li aside and ignored them.
As for Jun Li, a proton from Xichen, every time he came here with Xiao Yan, Lin Wan basically ignored him. But Jiang Xue was different. This was the first time that Lin Wan gave her such a cold face.
You know, Lin Wan was so warm to Jiang Xue before, and she wanted to win over Sun Xiurong through her.
