"Everyone's gone, stop pretending to be dead."
Jiang Li glanced at the woman on the bed, took a sip of tea, and clicked his tongue twice.
Speaking of excitement, the highlight of the Hundred Flowers Festival, the flower fighting competition, has not really begun.
If it wasn't exciting, this Hundred Flowers Festival had become the biggest topic of conversation in the capital within two days.
At that time, the county lady sent someone to find a doctor, and under Jiang Li's guidance, she checked the cakes and incense on the table, and it was confirmed that Jiang Shengsheng had been drugged.
Qin Lao San naturally denied it and even argued that he had been drugged, otherwise how could he appear in the Hundred Flowers Club?
But the doctor didn't find any medicine in him.
As the future head of the Qin family, Qin Ji was directly put into the fire by Jiang Li.
"Could it be that just because you have the surname Qin, you can rely on Prime Minister Qin as your backer to do whatever you want?"
"It seems the rumor that Prime Minister Qin is second only to the emperor and above everyone else is true."
After hearing this, Qin Ji naturally could not accept it.
However, no one expected that just when Qin Laosan was taken to the government office, something happened again in the peach forest in the South Courtyard.
The servants who came hurriedly had an indescribable expression on their faces. The people who had just finished watching the excitement looked at each other and rushed over again.
"Third, Third Prince?!"
Even the Princess of Yong'an was stunned.
What kind of path is this?!
The young man who had always been a playboy was now sitting naked on the ground, with his upper body lying in the arms of a fair-skinned man. The posture of the two was embarrassing.
"Ah! How embarrassing!"
When the fair-skinned man saw so many people coming, he was so scared that he immediately covered his face, threw the third prince away, quickly put on his clothes and ran to the side door.
Qu Feng had been staying in the North Courtyard. When he saw everyone gathered outside the Taolin Courtyard, he knew the time had come.
"Your Highness!"
Qu Feng's task was to pretend to chase the assassin so that he was not at the scene. When he arrived, no matter what happened, he had to stop Jiang Li.
But after looking around carefully, he realized... Jiang Li didn't show up at all!
What was even more terrible was that he happened to see the fair-skinned man putting the third prince down from his arms and running away. By the time he reacted and sent people to chase him, the man had already disappeared.
Gu Yanheng woke up slowly, raised his hand to touch his neck which was obviously in pain, and when he raised his eyes, he felt the terrified and amused looks of everyone.
"Qu Feng, what's wrong with me?"
He took a quick glance and didn't see Jiang Li, so he could only play dumb.
Gu Yanheng was a prince after all, so when everyone saw him regain consciousness, they immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.
"Puff...cough cough cough cough cough"
Someone still couldn't help but burst out laughing, but the next moment they quickly pretended to cough and kowtowed, saying, "I haven't recovered from my cold yet, and I'm sorry for disturbing Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
The person who spoke was the son of the Minister of Works. Gu Yanheng knew him and waved his hand, not wanting to embarrass him.
Until... he looked down and found that his clothes were in disarray. The eyes of the Yong'an County Master were full of complexity. He slowly turned his head to look at Qu Feng.
Qu Feng didn't dare to speak for a long time. At this time, he was finally ready to die. He gritted his teeth and whispered in Gu Yanheng's ear what he saw when he arrived.
“…”
If looks could kill, then no one present would even have a complete corpse left.
"Let's go!"
Assassinated? Rescued?
After what happened, there is no longer any excuse left!
Gu Yanheng now only wants to kill people and quickly catch the person who attacked him and cut him into pieces!
"Farewell, Third Prince!"
The voice of Princess Yong'an came from a distance. Gu Yanheng snorted coldly. The plan had changed, and Princess Yong'an was also to blame. He thought that he would settle the score with her later!
&&&
For the first time in the history of Daning Capital, accidents happened one after another in the Baihua Club, and finally it was the Princess of Yong'an County who ordered everyone to leave first.
After everyone left, Jiang Li was still in the room watching Jiang Shengsheng pretending to be dead.
"If you keep pretending to be dead, I'll really withdraw."
Hearing the voices outside dissipate, Jiang Li put down the teacup and patted Xiaojiu's head, "Let's go."
"Why help me?"
Jiang Shengsheng's voice came from afar.
Yes, she was the one who harmed Jiang Li first, and Jiang Li put the blame on her. She didn't win the fight, so she accepted it.
But she just couldn't understand why Jiang Li would help her out?
That bastard Qin Laosan, this was clearly a plan discussed by the two of them, and now that the plan has been exposed, he actually wants to throw all the dirty water on her.
If it weren't for Jiang Li, she would have been drowned in the pond by now.
"Then why did you hurt me?"
Jiang Li replied to her.
It is true that she is the eldest sister, but from beginning to end, she has never harmed Jiang Shengsheng in the slightest. Even when she married into the Qin family, it was the order of the Qin family's old man alone. The original owner never had any choice.
"You were the one who ruined the Qin family's marriage first!"
Jiang Shengsheng climbed out of bed, her makeup all smudged, and her face no longer had the lively and playful look it used to have.
"You know very well that if I want to marry Brother Qin, I have to marry him in your name as a dowry! I only have this one chance, why, why did you ruin this opportunity!"
"I just want to marry Brother Qin, why are you breaking off the engagement?"
Jiang Shengsheng's expression became increasingly frantic. "That's right, since you've hooked up with Prince Jingling, it's only natural that you have to cancel the engagement."
"presumptuous!"
Gu Yuyan finally couldn't help it. The little girl's face turned cold, and the domineering Ninth Princess's aura suddenly rose.
"Xiaojiu, have you ever heard the story of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it?"
Jiang Li's expression did not change, but the smile on his face became sarcastic.
"The mantis thought it had won by killing the cicada, but it had no idea that its own life was coming to an end."
