Chapter 101 Your Majesty's Fault
Jiang Yingli slept uneasily that night.
Early the next morning, Qiuxia woke up Jiang Yingli and conveyed to her what Xiao Xiazi had come to report.
"Xiao Xiazi said that he watched the two eunuchs carrying the corpse throw her into the mass grave. After they left, he carried Liang Shuren out and threw her on the stone steps of Da'an Temple. He waited in the dark until dawn and saw the nuns from the temple take her back inside."
After hearing the report, Jiang Yingli managed to calm down.
"Did Xiao Xiazi notice anything unusual?"
Qiuxia whispered, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Xiao Xiazi is the most careful eunuch. If he says no one saw him, Your Majesty can rest assured. Besides, the way he was dressed last night, even if someone saw him, they wouldn't recognize him as someone from our palace."
Jiang Yingli finally felt relieved.
The day after tomorrow is the sixteenth. From then on, it all depends on Liang Shuren’s own luck.
At the same time, Lian Qiao, who was kneeling in the main hall of Changqing Palace, reported the whole matter to Xiao Chenglan.
After listening to this, Xiao Chenglan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Didn't she use the badge I gave her?"
Lian Qiao: "Xiao Xiazi sneaked out into the shopping group."
Lian Qiao finished speaking, and seeing that Xiao Chenglan seemed a little unhappy, she added: "Your Majesty is cautious. This matter concerns the Queen Mother, and she dare not easily involve His Majesty. Your Majesty is also thinking about His Majesty."
Xiao Chenglan glanced at her and said, "Alright, go get your reward."
After Lian Qiao left, Xiao Chenglan raised his hand to call Xuan Mo.
"Send a message to the Queen Mother's personal guards, telling them that on the 16th, whether the plan succeeds or not, they will kill her immediately. Don't give her a chance to speak."
Xuan Mo nodded.
"Also, go burn down the Zhaojue Pagoda where the six kings are imprisoned."
Xuan Mo took the order and disappeared in a flash.
At night, Xiao Chenglan returned to Changyang Palace.
As soon as he entered the hall, Xiao Chenglan was bumped into by a small figure.
"Your Majesty, why did you come back so late?" Jiang Yingli looked up at him with her little face in his arms, her eyes full of grievance that he came back late.
Xiao Chenglan reached out and stroked her hair. "It's already very early today. What's wrong? Do you have something interesting to tell me?"
Jiang Yingli couldn't explain it. She had done something bad today and she felt anxious. She had to hug His Majesty to relieve her anxiety.
"No, I'm so bored today. There's nothing fun to do. I just miss Your Majesty." Jiang Yingli said coquettishly.
Xiao Chenglan said nothing, took her to sit down, and let her lie on his lap.
He curled his knuckles and stroked from her eyebrows to her fair and smooth cheeks, and finally pinched her chin slowly.
"Are you sure you don't have anything to say to me?"
Xiao Chenglan looked at Jiang Yingli quietly with his long eyes, and his dark pupils made this silent gaze more oppressive.
Jiang Yingli understood immediately that since His Majesty asked this question, he must have the answer in mind.
She blinked rapidly and looked a little guilty.
Xiao Chenglan tightened his grip on her chin, silently urging her to answer.
Jiang Yingli asked softly, "If I do something bad, will His Majesty think I'm not obedient and no longer like me?"
Xiao Chenglan asked in a gentle voice, "What could be wrong with what you did?"
Jiang Yingli looked at Xiao Chenglan's gentle and calm expression, and suddenly wondered whether His Majesty really knew about this matter.
After all, it was an assassination of the Queen Mother.
"But it's really bad." Jiang Yingli's face wrinkled into a ball. She wanted to confess but didn't dare to.
Xiao Chenglan's tone became stern, "Compared to anything else, the fact that you're hiding something from me is what makes me think you're not being obedient."
Jiang Yingli got anxious and poured it all out.
"I actually secretly ordered someone to rescue Lady Liang. Instead of letting her go to the mass grave, I helped her sneak into the Da'an Temple!"
"Why do you do that?"
"Commoner Liang wanted to assassinate the Queen Mother while she was praying for blessings."
"Is it she who wants to assassinate the Queen Mother, or is it you who wants to assassinate the Queen Mother?"
Jiang Yingli was so frightened by these words that she quickly stood up from Xiao Chenglan's arms and knelt between his legs.
"Yes... yes, that's what I want."
Xiao Chenglan held Jiang Yingli's chin with two fingers together, forcing her to look away and only look at him. Then he continued to ask:
"Why do you want to assassinate the Queen Mother?"
Once Xiao Chenglan became stern, Jiang Yingli would answer whatever was asked without hesitation.
"Because it was the Queen Mother who instructed Lady Liang to drug Your Majesty! She actually used such despicable means to make Your Majesty lose his temper. I hate her."
"Go on."
Jiang Yingli's eyes welled up with tears when she was asked this question, and her voice was tinged with tears.
"I don't like Your Majesty having sex with others. That drug is very strong. If Your Majesty really falls for it, he will have sex with others... Maybe, when he forgets himself, Your Majesty will even call others good babies. I feel so sad when I think about it. This is all the Queen Mother's fault! I hate her!"
"She made me unhappy, so I must make her unhappy too. This is what Your Majesty told me. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I am seventy percent at fault, and Your Majesty is also three-tenths at fault. You can't just blame me!"
The more Jiang Yingli spoke, the more she cried as she knelt between Xiao Chenglan's legs. Sadness and fear washed over her, and she kept bringing up "Your Majesty taught me" as a way of bluffing.
Through her tear-blurred eyes, she couldn't see what Xiao Chenglan was doing in front of her, she only heard him sigh slightly.
"It is indeed I who indulged you. I am 70% wrong."
"But, once you've done it, you've done it. What are you afraid of? If you're afraid, don't do it. You won't know how to be afraid until you've done it."
"If I don't ask you, are you planning to be terrified all night long?"
Jiang Yingli wiped her eyes and muttered, "It seems so..."
Xiao Chenglan couldn't help but laugh when he saw how honest she was.
It turns out that no matter how much he is spoiled, he can't change his silly and foolish appearance.
"Okay, get up. I have made all the arrangements. Just wait for the news from Da'an Guo Temple." Xiao Chenglan said.
Jiang Yingli no longer cared about being afraid. Her tearful eyes were filled with admiration. "Really? Your Majesty has taken care of it. No one will find out about this, I?"
Xiao Chenglan nodded, "Yes. I've already found the one to take the blame for you. However, whether Xue lives or dies depends on fate. My people cannot take action."
"It doesn't matter. As long as she is stabbed and her pride is severely dampened, I will be happy!"
Jiang Yingli became proud again in an instant, completely forgetting how she had just cried.
"Also, Your Majesty, please don't get involved. Even if we dislike Queen Mother Xue, she is still the Queen Mother. If you are not careful, Your Majesty will be charged with the crime of being unfilial."
Xiao Chenglan lowered his eyes and watched her shaking her head while analyzing, then called her softly.
"Jiang Yingli."
Jiang Yingli knelt straight up immediately when her full name was suddenly called.
"Your Majesty, why…"
A large shadow was cast, and her lips were bitten.
While kissing, Xiao Chenglan picked Jiang Yingli up from the ground and made her kneel on his legs.
The hibiscus pink skirt covered the black dragon robe embroidered with gold, and the paintings in the hall were made more vivid by the ambiguous sounds.
After struggling for a while, Jiang Yingli was stunned by the kiss and leaned on Xiao Chenglan's shoulder in a daze.
Xiao Chenglan held her ankle with one hand and patted her back with the other, his voice hoarse and full of desire.
"Without you in my presence, what are those medicines worth?"
Jiang Yingli paused and realized that His Majesty was comforting her because she had just cried and said a lot of sad things.
Jiang Yingli looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Chenglan pinched her face and whispered softly, "I won't have sex with anyone other than you, and I won't have physical contact with anyone other than you, let alone call others good babies."
"My dear baby, only Li'er."
These words of comfort made Jiang Yingli's heart soften. She hugged Xiao Chenglan tightly and started crying again, but she did not forget to open her mouth and gently bite his shoulder to show that she heard everything.
Xiao Chenglan tilted his head and kissed Jiang Yingli's neck, his breath hot.
"Do you feel it? No matter how strong the medicine is, it can't beat you. Sometimes I even despise myself. Why is it that just by looking at you, I..."
Xiao Chenglan didn't say anything else, but Jiang Yingli knew what it was.
Her mind was filled with exploding fireworks, and she could hardly think. She could only unconsciously call out "Your Majesty", each voice softer and softer.
