Since the day Bai Mian left, Jiang Ji couldn't sleep all night. Every night his dreams were about her. Sometimes it was when he married her, sometimes it was when she gave birth to his eldest daughter in the inner palace, and sometimes it was when she was imprisoned in Qiwu Palace... Their endings were not satisfactory. The scene of Bai Mian committing suicide appeared in his mind, and Jiang Ji couldn't sleep at night.
Just the night before yesterday, Li Dequan lit the calming incense in the Yangxin Palace, and Jiang Ji finally had a good night's sleep.
Those tranquilizing incense sticks were sent by the eldest princess. They were checked by the Imperial Hospital and there was indeed nothing wrong with them. They all used effective tranquilizing and sleeping medicines. It was just that they were too ignorant to know that Jiang Qiao was good at drug counteraction and that drugs would react with each other. Jiang Qiao hid it very well.
Jiang Ji is having a terrible headache now. The palace is becoming increasingly unstable. He doesn't know who is targeting the royal family. Once he finds out, he will use all the punishments on him.
Lou Zhuxin's death was tragic. Jiang Ji could always recall the scene of his first meeting with Lou Zhuxin, and he was filled with worry... Although Lou Zhuxin was already a commoner when she was banished to the cold palace, he still decided to bury her with the ceremony of a royal concubine.
——
Mingyin Pavilion.
"Lou Zhuxin, you killed her." Jiang Yanchuan questioned Jiang Qiao.
He said it with certainty.
Jiang Qiao had just finished her breakfast. She took a sip of the tea in her hand and asked, "Shouldn't she have died?"
Jiang Yanchuan looked at the calmness in her eyes and tightened his hands in his long sleeves. He had heard from the servants about Lou Zhuxin's miserable condition. Jiang Qiao was such a delicate person, yet she actually killed someone like this.
He couldn't believe it.
"I never realized that you hid it so deeply. You loved her so much before, but you could do such a cruel thing."
Jiang Qiao's voice was full of laughter, and his lips were curled up, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Ayan, people change. You can try to change your mind about me."
After all, she is not the original owner.
A hint of coldness flashed across Jiang Yanchuan's eyes. "People's hearts may change, but the facts of the past cannot be changed. Even if my eldest sister changes, how pure and kind can she be?"
Jiang Qiao looked at him and smiled, pushed his favorite pastry in front of him, and said nothing more.
She still liked the silly him, who was very well-behaved, unlike now, when he always spoke with sharp words. It was good this way, as it could protect herself. Fortunately, she didn't bother with him.
——
Jiang Ji did not allow rumors to spread about the reason why Concubine Zhu was banished to the cold palace by the emperor, so no one objected to his plan to bury Lou Zhuxin with the ceremony of a concubine.
The Queen Mother was worshiping Buddha, and she didn't want to dwell on the past, so she didn't object.
When Jiang Qiao found out, the matter had already been finalized. Her eyes instantly turned cold. She was just an eldest princess. What was the point of opposing it!
All she could do now was wait. When Ayan ascended the throne, she would definitely dig Lou Zhuxin's coffin out of the imperial mausoleum and throw it into a mass grave!
"Someone, bring in two rabbits."
Lou Zhuxin was right. Huang Shi had a great influence on her, making Jiang Qiao become bloodthirsty and cruel.
Yuxing didn't think there was anything wrong and just thought that the princess wanted to have a pet, so she went to the kitchen and brought over two rabbits.
The rabbit was fluffy and didn't move around in Jiang Qiao's arms. Its red eyes rolled around in its eye sockets, and it seemed very curious.
Jiang Qiao felt dizzy at the moment and could only feel the sticky feeling on her hand. It was the gray rabbit licking her hand.
She tried hard to restrain the urge to crush it. It was so painful that tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes.
"Bang-"
Jiang Qiao fainted on the ground, and the rabbit also fell to the ground. It seemed to be frightened and ran under the bed.
Yuxing was watering the camellia outside. When she heard the noise coming from the house, she ignored the work in her hands and ran inside.
Jiang Qiao was seen lying quietly on the ground with his eyes closed, his face almost pale, and his hair spread out on the bed in a mess.
"Someone come quickly, the princess has fainted! Go get a doctor!"
…
The dream was chaotic and foggy. Jiang Qiao couldn't see what was ahead. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. She was scared, but what was the use of being scared? She was always alone.
"Is anyone there?"
No one responded to her.
“Da da da…”
It seemed as if something was approaching.
Jiang Qiao moved closer to where the voice came from, "Who are you?"
In an instant, a woman covered in blood rushed towards her, "Jiang Qiao, do you remember me?"
Jiang Qiao was caught off guard and was pressed under her.
It’s Lou Zhuxin.
She had a foul, rotten smell on her body.
Jiang Qiao kicked her hard, "I killed you, of course I won't forget you!"
Lou Zhuxin didn't move anymore, just took the familiar dagger and stabbed it hard into Jiang Qiao's eyebrows.
Jiang Qiao opened his eyes with all his strength, only to see the familiar pink and purple bed curtains.
"Princess, you're finally awake. I was scared to death." Yunyan said in a crying voice.
"I'm fine."
"The princess is fine! Divine Doctor Xiaoyao has come to see her." Yunyan sniffed, "The princess has been poisoned by a yellow poison that has been accumulating in her body for years."
Jiang Qiao didn't expect to be discovered by Gu Yun. There is no cure for the Yellow Devouring, which will continuously consume a person's nerves and cause them to become weak and die.
She didn't want anyone to know, because exploring with results was not a good thing.
"Why is he here?"
"The princess's residence is quite a distance from the imperial palace. Yu Xing planned to go to Jing City to find a common doctor to treat the princess, but she ran into General Jing Hong. When the general learned about it, he sent the divine doctor Xiao Yao to come. They are friends."
"Where's Chi Qi'an?"
Yunyan didn't expect the princess to call General Jinghong by his name. It seemed like they were not familiar with each other.
"The general has been summoned by the emperor, but the divine doctor Xiaoyao is in the kitchen making medicine for the princess." He then added, "By the way, the general forbade the princess from being poisoned from being revealed."
