Chapter 392 The best sister in the world who understands courtesy and reciprocity
Jiang Qiyun rode a horse beside the carriage, "Sister Wanyan, where are you going? I heard that your cousin's birthday is coming up soon, and the second branch of the Qiao family is hosting a banquet. You will definitely go, right?"
Qiao Jibai won the top spot in the imperial examination this year. In previous years, there was no trace of this person, but this year the second branch of the Qiao family paid attention to him.
Qiao Wanyan placed one hand on the window and said lazily, "Jiang Qiyun."
Jiang Qiyun responded and looked at her, smiling and said, "Sister Wanyan, you say."
Qiao Wanyan asked, "Do you know that you have been poisoned by the love poison? Yun Heng prepared many bowls of antidote for you to drink, but your pulse is normal but your behavior is not. This caused Yun Heng to begin to doubt his medical skills."
Yun Heng is a famous doctor in Kyushu. You can imagine how much of a blow Jiang Qiyun has dealt to her.
Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly, as if he was puzzled. "You told me about it that day, and Yun Heng also told me about it. But what is love Gu? I really don't understand. I am very normal!"
Qiao Wanyan didn't say anything else, but just stared at him with her eyes slightly narrowed, staring at the subtle expressions on his face.
When people lie, they always make many humble evasions.
But Jiang Qiyun didn't show any of that. He looked calm and composed, as if he really didn't understand what he was saying.
Qiao Wanyan frowned. She had always suspected that he was pretending, but Jiang Qiyun didn't seem like the type of person who could hide something so serious and pretend so well.
At this moment, she really doubted Yun Heng's medical skills.
"You......." Qiao Wanyan hesitated to speak.
Jiang Qiyun raised his eyebrows slightly and waited for her to speak.
After waiting for a long time, Qiao Wanyan closed the window.
Jiang Qiyun let out a long sigh. All his life's acting skills were used here.
At night, when Qiao Wanyan was arranging flowers, a maid came to report that the Second Prince was waiting at the side door and wanted to see her about something important.
Zi Yuan waved her hand to signal the maid to leave, and then asked, "Miss, I haven't seen you twice, but now the Second Prince can't help but come here. Is there really something important?"
Qiao Wanyan gently twisted the flower branches and placed them in the jade vase. "Except for Qiao Chuxue, I really don't know why he would find me for any reason. In the past, I always looked for him, but now he is not the prince anymore. If he wants to see me, he must come in person."
Although there is still a possibility that He Zhiyu could be deposed and reinstated, he must not repeat the same mistake and do something that leaves no room for maneuver.
But if I don’t get some retribution now for all the energy and hard work I put in in the past, wouldn’t I feel wronged?
Just know the right balance.
He Zhiyu was waiting at the side door of the Shangshu Mansion. He did not pace back and forth but stood with his hands behind his back under the moon.
The moonlight elongated his figure, and the faintly floating silver glow on the bluestone slabs wrapped around the hem of his black clothes.
The door creaked open, He Zhiyu turned around and looked over. The disappointment he had been prepared for disappeared without a trace the moment he saw Qiao Wanyan. Deep in his heart was a joy and excitement that he had not felt for many days.
He walked over in two steps, looked at the familiar beautiful face, swallowed back all the words he wanted to say, and just called her name lightly.
"Your Highness came to see me at night, what's the matter?"
He Zhiyu said in a gentle voice, "It was Qiao Chuxue. She has been in the East Palace. I was afraid that you would feel uneasy, so I sent her here. Zhou Yu's family was wiped out, and I have already told the government office not to investigate the matter."
Qiao Wanyan glanced at the carriage not far away, "Your Highness once told my elder sister in front of me that he hates cruel and scheming people the most in his life. It's hard for Your Highness to hide it from me."
He Zhiyu only felt his chest was extremely stuffy, and even deep breathing could not relieve the stuffiness.
At that time, he said it deliberately.
That was the second time he had seen her.
"Zhou Yu deserves to die. You are helping him by doing this."
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes. A man is not interested in women. If you hang yourself in front of him, he will think you are just swinging on a swing and will not bother to pay attention. But on the contrary, he is reluctant to say a harsh word even if you are severely slapped in the face by what he said before, and instead praises himself.
"Thank you for bringing it here personally, Your Highness. I, your humble servant, will be sending you off respectfully."
He Zhiyu raised an obscure smile at the corner of his mouth, "It's late at night, I won't disturb you, go to bed early."
The carriage gradually went farther away, and Jing Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, didn't you want to ask Miss Wanyan in person whether her love poison had been cured? Why......"
There was no response from inside the carriage.
He Zhiyu leaned weakly against the wall of the car, tilting his head slightly to look at the moonlight coming in through the gap in the window.
His bright and cheerful face now looked even more lost than when he came.
When the words came to my lips, I didn't dare to ask.
The night was getting darker and darker, the inky sky was getting so low that the stars were no longer visible.
Qiao Chuxue stayed in the East Palace for a long time, eating two steamed buns and a glass of water every day, staying in the dark dungeon and unable to get out.
The mental fear and physical torture made her increasingly weak, but she could not die.
In that kind of environment, the hope for life becomes greater and greater, and one dares not die even if he can.
I was hoping my family would know and take me home, but the wait seemed to be in vain day after day.
At this moment, without opening her eyes, she felt something sliding down her face, and her body seemed to be pressed by something, making her feel very uncomfortable.
She slowly opened her eyes, and was so frightened at first sight that her breathing almost stopped.
In the deep earth pit, Qiao Chuxue was half buried.
Beside the earth pit, was Qiao Wanyan, wearing a bright red gauze dress, looking at her.
A smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face. In the silent night, the curve of her lips was filled with evil, which made people shudder and feel their scalp tingling.
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "Oh, sister is awake."
Qiao Chuxue didn’t know how to describe her feelings at the moment. She just felt like she was in purgatory and saw a Shura evil ghost with countless blood on his hands.
His hair stood on end and his head was buzzing. He screamed instinctively, trying to call for some kind person to save him, but his mouth was blocked and he could only whimpering sounds.
Qiao Wanyan kindly explained: "This is in the wilderness. Although no one can hear me if I shout, you are too noisy and will disturb my good mood."
She spoke softly and intimately: "Sister wanted Zhou Yu to destroy my innocence that day, and gave me a 'big gift'. I will also send sister to death today, so that we can be considered good sisters."
"Sister, isn't that right?"
Qiao Chuxue wanted to ask her to spare her, but her hands and feet were tied tightly and her mouth was blocked, so she had no ability to do so. She could only shake her head desperately.
Lu Jinye frowned slightly, pulled out the dagger without hesitation, turned around and threw it in one direction.
He said in a deep voice: "Come out."
Qiao Wanyan looked in the direction he was going and saw the secret guards behind him also drew their swords.
