"What are the rules of the underworld?"
"Of course, I should repay the favor of saving my life with my own body."
Jiang Li curled the corners of her mouth and saw the man with his eyes closed resting across from the carriage. She had the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
Outside the carriage, Mo Qi couldn't help but glance at the little maid sitting next to him. After a while, he said, "Actually, my driving skills are pretty good."
Bai Zhi turned her head, her face pale.
"What I mean is, you don't have to be so... ready to die."
Bai Zhi curled her lips, looked at the capital city getting closer and closer, and sighed silently.
Her young lady saved someone, and it was a prince, what a great thing!
But why did the young lady save King Jing Ling? Why did she save any other prince?
Wuuuuu, who in the capital doesn't know about this ruthless and murderous prince? It's over, it's over. Whether he falls into the hands of Prince Jingling or is sent back to the Jiang Mansion, I'm afraid he can't escape death...
"Have you made up your mind?" Gu Qingchen stared into Jiang Li's phoenix eyes, "If you have any other requests, please feel free to ask."
He knew how serious his injuries were, and that Jiang Li was able to wake himself up in such a short time. He was no ordinary person.
In addition, the way the person in front of him spoke and acted was different from the women he had seen before. Even though he was so close to her, he did not feel uncomfortable. If Jiang Li could really detoxify him, keeping her by his side would be a great help.
Jiang Li had not expected that the short-lived prince Gu Qingchen, who was described in just a few words in the original book, was actually the person in front of her.
The younger brother of the current emperor, the most beautiful girl in the Daning Dynasty, had made a name for himself on the battlefield for the people of the world. He had made numerous military achievements at the age of fifteen. Unfortunately, he had been poisoned since his mother's womb. Even though he stood on the top of a high mountain, he was predicted to live no more than twenty.
Even though he is a villain, he is still so stunning that it cannot be concealed.
"Your Highness, please listen to me," Jiang Li said, changing the subject. "As long as our intentions are there, that's all that matters. I don't need you anymore. Just give me the consultation fee."
Are you kidding? The Qin family hasn't even gotten out of the tiger's den yet, so how can they dig their own graves?
What's more, this man is only a little bit good-looking and a little bit powerful, but it's still not enough for her to sacrifice the rest of her life on him.
Seeing Gu Qingchen's expression was a little cold, Jiang Li quickly told him about the Jiang and Qin families. "It's not that Your Highness is not good enough, it's just that I don't want to cause trouble for Your Highness."
Was this refusal sincere? Jiang Li silently gave herself a thumbs-up.
Taking the initiative to prepare a way out for the prince is the way for common people like us to survive!
"The current emperor is in poor health, the crown prince is still young, and Qin Chuan has already risen to the position of Left Prime Minister, possessing absolute power within the court." Gu Qingchen gave her a meaningful look. "You said you disrupted the Jiang-Qin marriage ceremony. I'm sure the Qin family won't let you off easily. But if you don't marry into the Qin family, even if you escape the capital, your chances of survival are less than 10%."
WTF!
Jiang Li was confused.
What the hell? Even running away from home is not allowed? The Qin family also has influence in the underworld? The emperor doesn't care?!
Gu Qingchen said calmly: "Many officials have their own retainers. The Qin family can reach this position, so the power under their command should not be underestimated."
"So marrying me is the best choice."
Jiang Li thought that the words he said slowly and calmly made sense to her.
"But Your Majesty, aren't you... not interested in women?"
Jiang Li recalled the description of Gu Qingchen in the book and pretended to test him: "Are you sure you want to do that with me?"
She was a merchant's daughter, and even if Gu Qingchen was impressed by her medical skills, she would never be able to marry a royal son. She knew this very well.
Gu Qingchen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a chill instantly spread through the carriage, but Jiang Li didn't care. This man, even Qin Ji would be intimidated by him. Although he had a bad reputation, if he wanted to make a move on her, he would have to be someone who really didn't want to live past twenty.
After all, she can cure his poison.
"Three years." Feeling the alienation in Jiang Li's eyes, he frowned, "Detoxify this king, and I will set you free in three years."
Now that he's seventeen, if the deadlock can truly be broken... Closing his eyes, Gu Qingchen said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm not desperate enough to eat anything. It's just that I have many enemies, so I can't tell anyone that I have a miracle doctor who can detoxify me. Using my title as Princess Jingling... I can protect you."
The man, who exuded the aura of a king, slowly opened his dark and deep black eyes and looked straight at her. His eyes were cold and clear, yet faintly misty. Upon closer inspection, there was a hint of imperceptible sadness.
Jiang Li, who was a little angry when she heard the phrase "hungry and indiscriminate", felt her heart tremble when she saw this scene. She nodded unconsciously and said, "Okay, but..."
Gu Qingchen's expression was stern. After a brief silence, he raised his eyebrows casually, "As for the affairs of the Jiang and Qin families... leave them to me."
Seeing Jiang Li still in a daze, he curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, it's just the Qin family."
After confirming Gu Qingchen's reaction, Jiang Li knew that it was done! Otherwise, the old man always said that she was lucky. She could use the contract marriage to exchange for freedom for the rest of her life!
"Okay, big brother! Thank you, big brother! I'll rely on you to lead me from now on!"
Come to think of it, he is the Prince of Jingling, more favored by the emperor than the princes. If it weren't for the King of Hell snatching him away, who in the Daning Dynasty could be more powerful than him!
Gu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly, raised his hand and patted her head, "Then this matter is settled."
&&&
When the carriage was about to enter the city gate, several guards from the palace had already received the news and were waiting in advance.
"I still need to report to the palace. The imperial decree granting the marriage will be issued in the next few days. You should prepare yourself. If you encounter any trouble, just bring this jade token to the palace to find me."
