Chapter 54 Acting with the Prince

Jiang Jiu is quite forward-thinking, as he even thought of this.

Lu Yunyang glanced at Lu Ming beside him, and Lu Ming nodded slightly: "Just entered the city, on the way to the palace..."

"Hmph..." Lu Yunyang laughed, and suddenly grabbed Jiang Jiu's wrist, "You arranged it really well, but what about you? What role do you assign to yourself?"

Jiang Jiu exposed Lu Yunyang's identity and arranged for Mudan and others to enter the mansion to accompany Lu Yunyang, just to leave him.

Of course I won't arrange my own role.

"Princess Qi Yang is here, and if the prince doesn't accompany her, how can I have time to pretend to be Lu Yunyang again... I will naturally stay in the mansion and make money for the prince..."

Lu Yunyang's eyes turned cold, he stared at Jiang Jiu with an arrogant look, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"How can I bear to leave you, my wife, who I have arranged through three matchmakers and six engagements, alone in an empty room... Such a smart person should naturally stay by my side..."

Jiang Jiu calculated over and over again, but he never expected that Lu Yunyang was simply unwilling to let go.

"No, Your Highness. Lu Yunyang is your honored guest. How can you snatch his wife away? If this gets out, it will be bad for Your Highness's reputation..."

Lu Yunyang rolled his eyes nonchalantly: "My reputation? Ha, I've been addicted to women and my body is weak. It's not bad for me to be charged with the crime of stealing someone else's wife..."

Jiang Jiu struggled hard, and was about to be free. She didn't even need a divorce. How could the ninth prince, Prince Qi, fall in love with a weak woman like her?

Who knew that Lu Yunyang still held her tightly.

"No, if I enter the palace, it will be inconvenient for me to do business. How can I make money for the prince..."

Lu Yunyang suddenly let go of Jiang Jiu's wrist.

Just when Jiang Jiu thought Lu Yunyang was convinced by her, she heard Lu Yunyang coldly say: "Do you want to go against my will?"

Huh? Jiang Jiu was confused.

Lu Yunyang glanced at the people outside the yard with a cold and arrogant look.

"If they don't enter the palace, they will all die."

Jiang Jiu was angry: "Lu Yunyang, they are innocent, do you have any reason?"

"Talk about reason? I never talk about reason." Lu Yunyang stood up, exuding a domineering and decisive aura.

"Knock him out, take him away..."

Seeing that Lu Ming was about to raise his hand, Jiang Jiu was very aware of the current situation.

"I'll go with you..."

He is the prince, holding the power of life and death. Even if Jiang Jiu is full of calculations, they are nothing compared to a single word in front of him.

I wanted to leave him quietly, without even taking the boat with me.

Now, he led the group deeper into Prince Qi's palace.

"Let me make it clear first. I am no longer your wife. You are a prince. I heard that your marriage was arranged by the emperor. So our previous marriage does not count."

As soon as he entered the palace, Jiang Jiu fought for his rights unwillingly.

Lu Yunyang stretched out his arms. Two maids were helping him change his clothes. He was about to meet Princess Qi Yang, so he changed into the prince's clothes.

"Concubine... the kind that this king loves the most..."

"No." Jiang Jiu jumped up anxiously. "It is said that Princess Qi Yang is 28 years old, which is the right age for marriage. The emperor and the princess did not allow anyone else to see you, but let her come to see you. It is obvious that they want you to promote your relationship and achieve marriage."

"You want me to be your concubine. You're crazy. You're putting me on the fire. No, I won't be your concubine. At most, I can be your maid."

Lu Yunyang glanced at her and said, "As a maid, you have no manners. You will die faster."

Jiang Jiu was about to get angry when he saw the maids serving him, all of them were submissive and well-behaved. After all, this was a royal palace, and the rules were very strict.

"Must I be a concubine? There's no fairness. I don't owe you anything. We are partners, and I'll give you 60%."

"How about I talk to Gu Chengyan and become your aide?"

In the palace, the staff have the highest status.

Lu Ming came in from outside and reported: "Your Highness, the princess's carriage has arrived at Shili Pavilion. According to your instructions, I have told the princess that the prince is not feeling well and is taking medicine. He can only be met outside the city."

"The princess didn't say anything else, only asking the prince to take good care of his body. Her convoy has already set off and is heading towards the city."

Lu Yunyang had already packed everything: "Is the carriage ready?"

Lu Ming reported back: "It's ready. I've also arranged for Doctor Cao Yu to accompany us."

Lu Yunyang nodded slightly and grabbed Jiang Jiu's hand: "Follow me to pick someone up..."

Jiang Jiu was taken directly to the carriage by the ninth prince, Prince Qi, in front of everyone in the palace.

Nanny Qian, who followed Jiang Jiu into the palace, was a little confused.

"So Mr. Lu is the ninth prince, Prince Qi?"

The maid Xia Zhi was even more confused: "I don't know either, Madam. Mudan and the others were also brought from the Lu family by the young lady and placed in the backyard."

After all, Aunt Qian was older and had more experience, so she quickly figured out the key.

"It turns out that the Ninth Prince pretended to be Master Lu in order to confuse the court. Now, the young lady will have someone to rely on even if she goes to the capital. It will be just a matter of time before she can avenge the lady."

Xia Zhi was even more confused: "Mammy, the prince has placed the girl in his courtyard, what should we do?"

Aunt Qian was delighted and tapped Xia Zhi's forehead with her index finger: "Fool, that's because the prince is interested in our girl."

When she returns to the capital, once the girl's identity is revealed, she can even become a princess due to the prince's favor.

The girl's father is a third-rank official in the imperial court.

It's a pity that Jiang Jiu doesn't want to be a princess. She has only one wish in her life, which is to make some money, lie down and enjoy herself, and it would be best if she could travel and live a free life.

But all this was broken by the man in front of me.

In the carriage, Jiang Jiu was still bargaining with Lu Yunyang.

"Gu Chengyan is your aide, but he has many roles. If I were your aide, I would be better than him in terms of making money from business."

Lu Yunyang opened a drawer in the carriage, took out something and stuffed it into his mouth. After a while, his face turned pale, cold sweat broke out, and his weak body leaned directly on Jiang Jiu's shoulder.

Jiang Jiu was frightened by him and broke out in a cold sweat. He looked anxious: "Hey, hey, what did you eat? Do you have to be so serious? Will that thing hurt your body?"

Lu Yunyang exhaled weakly, with a hint of musk in his breath: "No, this is for refreshing the mind and clearing away heat..."

Seeing that his lips were also pale, she couldn't help but touch them with her thumb: "Why do you look so pale? Will there be any side effects? All medicines are poisonous. You are not really sick, so you can't take random medicines..."

Lu Yunyang panted heavily and snuggled into Jiang Jiu's arms, feeling weak and gloomy.

"I can't help it. If Princess Qiyang finds out, I will be guilty of deceiving the emperor."

Jiang Jiu looked at Lu Yunyang who looked gloomy, and felt a little bit of pity in his heart.

"It's not easy to be the ninth prince. It's better to be Lu Yunyang. At least you can play around as you like..."

"The last assassination attempt was also carried out by someone from the imperial palace in the capital..."

He has great kung fu skills and his hidden weapon is poisonous. Fortunately, Chu Yu is there, otherwise Lu Yunyang would have died.

It was said that the Ninth Prince was frightened, but in fact, in disguise, the assassin had completed the assassination.

"I've been calling for a long time but he still hasn't come out. I want to see what's wrong with the prince."

The drug took effect on Lu Yunyang, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Jiang Jiu was wiping his sweat off when the car curtain was lifted unexpectedly...

Just facing the surprised face of Princess Qi Yang.
