Rong Wanqing's words were quite meaningful. After a while, Rong Wanqing realized what she had said and said, "I heard that Young Master Jiang was changing clothes here. Why are the two of you here?"
At this moment, among the group of young noblemen who had arrived, a man slowly stepped forward and first respectfully bowed: "Greetings, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I was changing clothes here two quarters of an hour ago. At that time, I was the only one here. As for why the young general and the male official Gao were here, I really don't know."
Jiang Zixi's complexion was perfectly normal, and she had indeed changed her clothes.
Rong Wanqing tightened her grip on her side and immediately ordered, "Guards, the young general has been found to have committed adultery in the harem. He shall be fined three years' salary and confined to his quarters for three months to reflect on his actions. Also, this shameless woman has seduced the young general; lock her up in jail first."
For such a serious crime, Rong Wanqing was only fined three years' salary, which shows her trust in the Jun family.
It must be said that the Jun family was the one who helped her rise to prominence. She trusted everyone in the Jun family implicitly and was extremely indulgent towards them. Later, if the Jun family hadn't made such a serious mistake that she couldn't have protected them, she would never have taken action against them.
The matter seemed to have come to an end, but the more important thing today should be celebrating the victory. Despite this incident, and despite the emperor's extreme displeasure and lack of interest, he still forced himself to finish the banquet.
…
As soon as the banquet ended, Wan Ge took Jiang Zixi away without anyone noticing.
Once back in the carriage, Jiang Zixi could barely hold on, and her eyes began to glaze over.
Yes, there's no antidote for the drug Jiang Zixi inhaled, and even the medicine she redeemed from the system shop is ineffective.
Wan Ge looked down at the silver needles stuck in his hand. Helpless, Wan Ge used the silver needles to temporarily seal his acupoints, allowing him to endure the entire banquet.
"We'll be at the Prince's mansion soon, Zixi, be good, just bear with it a little longer."
When the carriage arrived near the Prince's Mansion, Wan Ge carried the person and used her light-footed skills to return to the room.
As for Prime Minister Jiang, Wan Ge has already sent her personal guards to explain to her.
Upon hearing the truth, Prime Minister Jiang was both angry and furious, yet felt utterly powerless. She had never actually pursued any power. She and Wan Ge were very similar; both had the opportunity to wield great power, but because they had never considered it and didn't want to, they gave it up. Little did she know that this very reason would almost harm the person she loved most.
…
Wan Ge watched as the other person fell asleep peacefully, their eyes filled with weariness. She took a deep breath, changed her clothes, and went to court.
After the court session ended and the ministers had all left, Prime Minister Jiang looked at Wan Ge, who had not yet left, with some worry in his eyes.
Wan Ge didn't even glance at her, but instead followed the female official to see Jiang Zixi.
Upon entering the Imperial Study, everyone else had already left, leaving only her and Rong Wanqing inside.
Rong Wanqing looked at her younger sister and slowly asked, "What brings you here, younger sister?"
The next second, a shoulder was placed on her neck.
Rong Wanqing's face instantly turned cold. The sharp sword sliced through the skin of her neck, and blood was already gushing out.
"I've said it before, I'm not interested in your position, but don't push me. Rong Wanqing, don't easily cross my bottom line." Wan Ge exuded coldness; this was the first time Rong Wanqing had seen Wan Ge like this in all these years.
