Chapter 9 Chapter 9 You are plotting against him, and he is also testing you. ...
The breeze was cool, blowing Jiang Daiyi's hair lightly. She sat beside the small table, watching thoughtfully the wisps of warm mist rising from the hot tea filling the bedroom.
She had just taken the medicine prepared by the female doctor and her body felt a little hot.
A shadow passed by the half-open window, not easily noticed.
Jiang Daiyi was holding a small freehand fan and fanning herself slowly. To others, she looked like a beautiful woman.
After a moment, Jiang Daiyi said to Lu Wan without any emotion: "You go out first, I'm tired."
Lu Wan: "Then I will help the young lady to go to bed first."
“No need.”
Jiang Daiyi's tone suddenly became cold, and she rejected Lu Wan's kindness.
"Just get out."
Lu Wan looked at Jiang Daiyi. The girl, who originally had a gentle and beautiful face, now had some unpredictable emotions that were difficult to understand.
Jiang Daiyi: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Lu Wan was slightly startled. She saw that the girl's gaze had shifted from the small fan to her without her noticing.
Her eyes were an extremely pure black, as if dyed with ancient ink.
Such eyes cannot be looked at for too long; looking at them for too long will make one shiver.
Besides, the girl is usually gentle in nature, which often makes people ignore the slightly piercing alienation in her eyes.
Lu Wan came to her senses and thought that Jiang Daiyi was unhappy because of Yun Qin.
"Yes. The servant has withdrawn."
The bedroom door was gently closed.
Jiang Daiyi moved the fan upwards a little, aimed it at the corners of her eyes which were burning and painful from crying, and fanned them gently.
As he exhaled, a figure flipped in lightly from the half-open window.
"I have already taken care of the matter in the Thorn Land."
Jiang Daiyi glanced out the window and said, "It's done, it's done. There are sixteen secret guards watching outside, and you dare to come in. Do you want to kill me?"
The man in black said: "My subordinates were very cautious. They didn't notice."
"What's the matter?"
The man in black took out a box and placed it on the small table in front of Jiang Daiyi.
Jiang Daiyi didn't touch it.
"Lord Qian Xiang said that Yun Qin has profound internal strength, and even if he was poisoned, he would recover very quickly. He asked you to find a way as soon as possible to lead Yun Qin to Qiliang Mountain before he recovers."
Jiang Daiyi nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
"I'll take my leave."
"Wait a moment." Jiang Daiyi called out to the man in black.
The man in black looked over.
Jiang Daiyi glanced at the box on the small table and said, "Take it away."
The man in black did not take it as he was told, saying, "I dare not. Lord Qian Xiang said that the young lady must accept it."
After saying this, the man in black climbed out of the window and disappeared, leaving no trace and no one noticing.
The lingering aroma of tea was refreshing. Jiang Daiyi put down her small fan, picked up the warm tea and took a sip to suppress the bitter taste of medicine in her mouth.
She took the box and threw it casually into the flowerbed outside, then looked out the window. All she saw was thick fog and dark stars, just like seeing flowers in the fog at dusk.
The road ahead is unclear.
Jiang Daiyi calculated the time. Considering Yun Qin's suspicious nature, he should have reached the thorny land in the eastern suburbs by now, right?
The thorny ground was extremely difficult to walk in. Since she said that her clothes were damaged when she went there, it was common sense that there must be broken clothes or silk threads left there. Without forging some evidence, she could not deceive Yunqin.
He is too suspicious.
The moonlight was dim, and thick fog covered the thorny ground.
Yun Qin's extremely elegant figure walked slowly and finally stopped outside the thorny field.
Before she even stepped in, a piece of her skirt was already hanging on the thorns, extremely conspicuous.
Yun Qin raised his hand to take it off, his light amber eyes fixed faintly on the dried blood on it.
His bony fingertips stroked the edge of the torn piece of dress, which was the normal roughness from being torn by thorns, nothing unusual.
Several secret guards walked on the wind in the dark night and landed beside Yun Qin.
"Sir, all the torn pieces of clothing that were hanging in the thorny ground have been found, not a single thread has been lost."
Yun Qin nodded: "Go back home."
The window moved slightly, bringing a breeze that blew onto Jiang Daiyi's body.
Qian Xiang's figure appeared like a ghost, and he sat down opposite Jiang Daiyi leisurely.
"I really watched a great show just now. Yun Qin actually believed your poor acting skills?"
Jiang Daiyi: "What are you here for?"
Qian Xiang looked at the red corners of her eyes and said, "It's nothing serious. I just have a question that I can't figure out, so I came to ask you."
Jiang Daiyi didn't want to say another word to him. "If it's just some idle nonsense, I suggest you keep your mouth shut."
Qianxiang looked gloomy.
"What a coincidence. These past few days, it seems like brothers and sisters all over the world have been at odds with each other. Qiang Wuyue's sister from the Pingqian Qiang family was almost treated as a traitor and punished by the family rules."
Jiang Daiyi put down the teacup, her curled eyelashes half covering her eyes, casting a small shadow.
She said, "I don't know much about the Pingqian Qiang family. You might be asking the wrong person."
Qian Xiang carefully examined Jiang Daiyi's expression.
There was no emotion in her eyes and eyebrows, and beneath her seemingly calm and harmless face, no one knew what kind of intricate and terrifying plan was brewing.
"Someone secretly placed a Pingqian defense map in Sister Qiang Wuyue's room. It was because of this secret defense map that she was almost punished by the family rules."
The tea aroma in the bedroom faded, and the tea mist gradually dissipated. Jiang Daiyi didn't plan to continue drinking tea, and slowly put away the tea set.
"Qiang Wuyue's sister."
Jiang Daiyi pretended to think, "What... was it called?"
"Qiang Shui Ning."
Jiang Daiyi's eyes flickered with a faint smile: "Oh...Qiang Shuining, I remember now. She seems to like Yun Qin. We met once before, so I have some impression of her."
"Just some impression?"
Qian Xiang asked even though he knew the answer.
"Back then, Tianque sent more than just spies to the Yun family. The one sent to lurk in the Qiang family was Qiang Shuining. Don't you know?"
Jiang Daiyi smiled very coldly and asked, "Should I know?"
Qian Xiang exposed what she had done secretly, "The Pingqian defense map in Qiang Shuining's room was placed there by you, right? I'm curious, when did you join forces with Qiang Shuining?"
"What do you want to do?"
Jiang Daiyi paused slightly, then leaned over the small table as if nothing had happened.
"Master Qian Xiang, instead of wasting your time staring at what extra things appeared in someone's sister's room, you should think about how to deal with Yun Qin."
The bright moon shines through the window, making the girl's eyes look colder than the February wind.
Qian Xiang said coldly: "Are you dealing with Yun Qin, or me?"
Rather than talking about Qiang Shuining, he wanted to hear how Jiang Daiyi would answer his question.
After these words were spoken, the expression on Jiang Daiyi's face finally showed some different subtle changes.
Her eyes were soft and pure, and she did not avoid the question. Instead, she said frankly, to Qian Xiang's surprise: "I want to deal with Yun Qin, but before that, I want to use him to get rid of you."
"Not only do I want to get rid of you, I also want to use Yunqin's power to disintegrate Tianque. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Qian Xiang's expression suddenly turned gloomy. He grabbed Jiang Daiyi's neck and said, "Don't use the same tactics you used against Yun Qin against me, Jiang Daiyi. Don't forget, your family is still in my hands."
Although Qian Xiang was certain that Jiang Dai intended to trip him up, he still didn't expect that she could plan so many things quietly under Yun Qin's nose.
She held both him and Yunqin in her hands, and played them around like puppets.
It's ridiculous that he is still so confident that Jiang Daiyi has always been under his control, and the same is true for Yun Qin.
"You deliberately spread the news that the Yun family had a secret as bait to lure Tianque into the scheme. You had Tianque send assassins to Xiaojun City, and then, when the opportunity arose, you used my Gu worm to tamper with Lu Zhao and Ayu's memories."
"The assassin witnessed everything and would think you were hiding your identity and continuing to stay in the Yun family to deliver messages to Tianque. He would then trust you and be willing to work with you to subdue the formidable Lu Zhao and successfully inflict the curse on him."
"Ayu has indeed lost the memory of you being an assassin, but Lu Zhao has more than that. He must have gained some memories, right?"
Jiang Daiyi's eyes were fixed slightly as she listened to Qian Xiang continue speaking.
"You know the assassin will send a message to me, and I will definitely go to Xiaojun City after hearing the news."
"So according to your plan, you wanted to eliminate the assassin first, and then have me, who would arrive in Xiaojun City later, confront Lu Zhao, whose memory had been altered, and be eliminated by him."
The red mole under Qianxiang's eye was charming, and the more he spoke, the colder his tone became.
"But you didn't expect Yunqin to be so suspicious. You are plotting against him, and he is also testing you."
Hearing this, Jiang Daiyi looked calm, without any embarrassment or fear of having her thoughts seen through, and even had a faint smile on her lips.
Qian Xiang spoke slowly.
"Your good brother also plotted against you. He arrived too quickly, completely disrupting all your plans."
"Lu Zhao's poison hadn't yet fully taken effect, and Yun Qin, who should have been seriously injured, arrived. Then you proposed that the assassin cooperate with you and stage a kidnapping to trick him."
"You should have calculated everything, but unfortunately you didn't know that Lu Zhao was originally from Tianque, and he didn't die at my hands."
As for what happened later, it was naturally just a superficial illusion that Jiang Dai wanted everyone to see.
The air in the bedroom was so cold that it made one feel chilled, and Qianxiang's eyes were as dark as water.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
Jiang Daiyi frowned deeply, her voice soft yet cruel: "I can kill if I want to. Lord Qian Xiang has killed so many people. Did he give a reason before killing them?"
Qian Xiang's face turned even darker when he heard this, as if there was something stuck in his throat, and he was choked by her and couldn't speak.
Jiang Daiyi continued to state a fact: "It's not me who wants to kill you, it's the voice of resentment from the world."
As the young master of Tianque, it is impossible for him to remain immune to danger.
He had been influenced by the violent character of the Lord of the Que since he was young, and had followed his example in dealing with people. He had long been regarded as a cancer in the eyes of the world.
Only by getting rid of him can we remove the arm of the Lord of Que and then get rid of the Lord of Que.
Even if Jiang Daiyi didn't take action, others would not allow him to do evil.
"Jiang Daiyi, are you going to betray Tianque?"
Qian Xiang looked at her.
"betray?"
The moonlight cast a shadow on Jiang Daiyi's face. She spoke calmly, "Is there some inseparable relationship between me and Tianque?"
"Tianque and his assassins are only connected by power. If power fails, they will disperse. How can there be any talk of betrayal?"
Jiang Daiyi frowned and looked at Qian Xiang with disgust: "Don't you think the questions you ask are ridiculous?"
She said the words that were meant to break things up directly, which was her usual style.
Hearing this, Qian Xiang should have turned his face away, but for some reason he suddenly curled up the corners of his lips.
"Are you... seeking revenge for throwing you into the cold forest?"
“…”
Looking at his suddenly excited expression, Jiang Daiyi felt that he was a little crazy, but she also understood. After all, he had been taught like a lunatic by Bishop Que for so many years, so she would not be too surprised when he said such words.
"You can think whatever you want. But if you don't leave, you'll run into Yunqin in a while."
Qian Xiang put away his smile upon hearing this: "Jiang Daiyi, I will remember the account you plotted against me."
There was a slight sound from the window, and the person who was talking just now had disappeared.
After everyone left, Jiang Daiyi put away the faint smile on her lips and stood up to close the window.
She blew out the candle in the bedroom and walked towards the couch, yawning softly.
I have met all the people I should have met and performed all the plays I should have performed tonight, so I can sleep peacefully now.
In the middle of the night, a spring rain falls, and the rain mixed with the scent of flowers, grass, pine and bamboo rushes into people's nostrils.
Jiang Daiyi was half asleep and half awake, and she always felt that there was a faint gaze watching her, and the window that should have been closed had been opened without her knowing when.
