Chapter 19 It turns out you are the one who is the one
They knew her every move very well, but Yu Fei had already instructed guards A and B not to tell anyone where in Yunnan the same-rooted pig was found, no matter who asked. Otherwise, if someone found out how to get rid of the pig, the Yu family would be finished.
As long as they can't solve the problem of Gu, no matter how powerful they are, they can't do anything to the Yu family.
Yu Fei continued with his nonsense: "Didn't I say that I bought this insect on the street? The Taoist priest said it was a Yunnanese insect. I should find someone to verify it. Fake medicine can kill people, let alone this living insect."
Huo Dao was speechless because of what she said.
Jing Cang picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip slowly. "It doesn't matter if you are stubborn. When we return to Beijing, the Dali Temple will have many ways to make people want to live but not to die, and I guarantee that you will not be unable to resist."
Yu Fei: “…”
From his words, she seemed to see herself hanging in a dim cell, with her chest burned by red-hot iron and her fingers pierced by sharp iron needles. She stroked her chest and shrank her hands.
In fact, the same root of the snake only has a time limit, but no way to get rid of it. In the original text, it is used to make trouble for the female supporting role and to make things difficult for the relationship between the male and female protagonists. Why would the author spend so much time to explain it? He only wrote four words "time limit is uncertain" and then it was offline along with the failure of Yu Shuang's plan.
This is why he deliberately induced Jing Canglong to buy it on the street instead of looking for it in Yunnan. He was afraid that others would be well-informed and might find out that the dragon had a time limit, or even find out the hidden information in the text - the length of the time limit. Then he would just wait for it to expire and take her life.
Yu Fei thought for a long time, pretending to be "coerced and scared to the point of having to tell the truth", lowered his eyes and whispered: "If you want to free the snake, the old Taoist said that you just need to give birth to a child."
Huo Dao: “???”
Jing Cang: “!!!”
Yu Fei: I am really smart. The same root of the dragon has a contraceptive effect. No matter how hard Ren Jingcang works, she can't get pregnant. Not being able to give birth to a child means that the dragon can never be released, and her situation is always safe.
Huo Dao asked: "Is it true?"
Yu Fei blinked, "I don't know. As the old Taoist said, we should try our best to save the situation."
Jing Cang looked at her again with that "toad wanting to eat swan meat" look, wanting to eat countless bites.
Yu Fei complained in her heart: Who is taking advantage of whom? She was exhausted after two rounds of sex, and he dragged her to practice for most of the night, as if he hadn't seen a woman for 800 years. She was sore inside and out.
Jing Cang was whispering something to Huo Dao when a servant outside the door came in to report that the prefect wanted to see him.
Yu Fei thought of the prefect's son, who was still being held captive in some corner by Jing Cang, and she looked up at him.
Jing Cang looked a little irritated and waved his hand, "No."
"I'll go." Yu Fei stood up and saw him staring at her deeply, as if she had some conspiracy again.
She quickly defended, "Your Highness is of noble status. He left Shu County without taking a single cloud with him. But the Yu family still wants to stay here. We cannot afford to offend the head of the city."
Seeing that he was not moved at all, she said, "Because of our matter, you have locked up the governor's son. Release him immediately. I will go and apologize to them."
Jing Cang held the teacup and threw it to the ground in anger.
Tea and broken porcelain splashed everywhere. Yu Fei retreated timidly, only to hear him ask coldly, "Did you know that I kidnapped the governor's son?"
Now that things have come to this, all the cards have been exposed. Yu Fei nodded, "I was betting on whether you would do this. He was called away that day, and my people saw it with their own eyes."
"So you knew he would drug you?"
"Um."
"'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.'" Jing Cang glared at her coldly. The anger in his eyes seemed to be extinguished a little by something. His face was a little gray, and he laughed at himself, "So you are the oriole."
Yu Fei looked at Jing Cang and wondered whether he was extremely disappointed in her or in himself. She felt like a bug was gnawing at her heart. She said, "Actually..."
Jing Cang closed his eyes, "I don't want to see you again."
Yu Fei turned and left.
When I walked to the door, I found that it was drizzling, one wisp at a time, just like the melancholy that poets always wrote about in textbooks.
She reached out and caught a few drops. The coolness seeped into her skin and made her eyes wet.
"Miss, why are you crying?" Dingxiang held an umbrella over her head.
"Rainwater." Yu Fei replied casually, then suddenly remembered that she would not get wet under the eaves, and smiled, "My plan succeeded, and I am so happy that I am crying."
"I'm happy for the young lady too," Dingxiang agreed.
Yu Fei thought back to what happened just now. What did she want to say to Jing Cang?
Actually...actually this wasn't just a scam, she also put her true feelings into it.
Fortunately he interrupted her, otherwise he would have brought further humiliation upon himself.
Yu Fei thought of her mother, a beautiful actress who was very successful in her acting career and had won many awards at home and abroad. When she was a child, she watched her cry and laugh on TV, as if she were really a character in the drama. She was always curious about why her mother could control her emotions so freely.
Her mother touched her head and said, if you want to deceive the audience when acting, you must first deceive yourself, regard yourself as the character in the play, and feel happy and cry for it.
She had been in many relationships, but the one with Jing Cang was definitely the one she put the most effort into and the one in which she paid the highest price.
She hypnotized herself into liking him, being nice to him, and wanting him, so she eventually succeeded in deceiving him with her superb acting skills.
But feelings, when they are true and false at times, it is hard to tell what is true and what is false.
After eating a bowl of crab soup noodles, Yu Fei met the prefect in the flower hall.
The governor was shocked to see her wearing men's clothes, then smiled knowingly, stood up and said respectfully, "I was not acquainted with gold and jade before, and I offended Miss Yu. I hope you and Your Highness will not be offended.
Yu Fei sat down slowly, and with the tone of a pampered beauty, she smiled tenderly: "Your master will be back soon."
Jing Cang did not agree to her request on this matter, but later Huo Dao came out and nodded, so it must have been his consent.
It was indeed she who first flirted with the governor's son, hoping to anger Jing Cang, but Yu Fei thought about it and decided not to let the governor misunderstand. After all, he was the head of Shu County, and the Yu family had to look to his face for business.
"You know, sir, that His Highness looked down on me at first, but your heart is like a needle in the sea. I don't know why he has started to have feelings for me again..."
All men are lustful, and Yu Fei is the most beautiful woman in Shu County. The governor looked at her casually. The girl's face was pale and her eyelids were blue, as if she didn't get enough rest last night. However, her eyes were like spring water, revealing a radiant affection, as if they had been moistened by endless rain from heaven.
Moreover, the men's clothing he was wearing was quite valuable, so it was obvious who it belonged to. The governor had not expected that the prince, who looked mature and steady, was like a young boy in love affairs, and he even used the trick of a man declaring that a woman had a master.
The woman in front of him had some skills to be able to seduce the prince. He looked at Yu Fei with some deep meaning and poured her a cup of tea.
"Miss Yu has a bright future as a servant of His Highness. I hope you will not forget the elders and fellow countrymen of your hometown and speak well of me and Shu County in front of His Highness." He paused, "As long as I am the governor, the Yu family will be second in Shu County, and no one will dare to claim to be first."
Yu Fei: “…”
My goodness, you really treat her as a pampered beauty!
The fact that she slept with him was real, but the fact that he doted on her was fake. She had just escaped from his clutches.
These sad and embarrassing things should not be told to outsiders.
Yu Fei puffed up his face and said, "Okay, okay," and sent the prefect away with a look of encouragement and gratitude.
She calculated the time, Jing Cang was about to leave for Beijing. I wonder if Beijing is like the weather here, full of thrills and excitement amidst the continuous rain.
