Jiang Qiao didn't ask any more questions. It was getting late, so she asked Chunhua to get some hot water and prepare for a bath.
In the misty bathroom, the sound of water was infinitely amplified in the quiet night.
Jiang Qiao pushed aside the petals on the water surface, and the water slid across her slender arms like an exquisite painting.
“Wow—”
She stood up, and water droplets dripped from the ends of her hair and slid down to her waist, rippling the water like a blooming white lotus.
Jiang Qiao put on his underwear and lay back on the bed, intending to have a good rest.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a strange noise from the tiles on the roof and was awakened by it.
The moonlight was bright and a dark shadow flashed past the window.
Jiang Qiao immediately became alert and reached under the pillow to grab the dagger.
Someone came in.
Jiang Qiao could see a figure approaching the bed. At the critical moment, she drew out her knife and struck the man in black in the face.
Seeing he was about to be discovered, the man in black turned around and dodged, and warned, "I am Shi Yechen."
Jiang Qiao: ...I didn’t hear it.
She seemed to be unable to react, and while Shi Yechen was not paying attention, she turned sideways, pretending that she could not retract her action, and stabbed the knife into his right arm.
Shi Yechen covered his arm and groaned, "Jiang Qiao, it's me."
Jiang Qiao finally spoke, "Fourth Prince, are you okay? I'm used to being so cautious in the army, so I didn't react for a moment."
Shi Yechen didn't argue with her, but cursed Jiang Qiao as an idiot in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay."
Jiang Qiao thought to herself, it would be strange if there was no harm. She had used a lot of strength just now, and Shi Yechen's right arm would probably need to recover for several months.
She handed over a bottle of expired gold medicine and feigned concern, "Your Highness, do you need me to bandage you?"
Shi Yechen's forehead was covered with sweat from the pain, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Qiao secretly rolled his eyes, poured expired gold medicine on his wound as if it were free, and finally tore off a piece of cloth he didn't like to bandage it.
"Why did His Highness suddenly come here tonight?"
Shi Yechen remembered the purpose of his visit and looked at her affectionately. "It's been half a year since we last met. I miss you so much. Jiang Qiao, when will you marry me?"
As he said this, he tried to grab Jiang Qiao with his left hand, but she dodged him without leaving a trace.
"Your Highness, you don't know that I'm injured. I'm afraid I won't be able to get pregnant in this lifetime, so I can't marry you again." Jiang Qiao lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and she acted out every scene with her heart.
In this life, she wants to play Shi Yechen around in circles!
Shi Yechen knew that Jiang Qiao must have some difficulties for not proposing to his father, and it turned out to be because of this.
She must feel guilty because she can't bear a child for him in the future.
It seems that this fool really loves him, and Shi Yechen feels a little bit sorry for her.
In fact, Jiang Qiao is very beautiful, even more beautiful than Yan Qingli, a talented woman in Beijing. Unfortunately, she is too unpresentable. She is too stupid, with a blank mind, and can only use violence.
How could Shi Yechen marry such a person?
"Jiang Qiao, I don't care about this. I only care about you. I want to marry you."
Jiang Qiao was disgusted: There are many people who want to marry me, but you are not worthy...
"But I..."
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Shi Yechen quickly interrupted her, "Jiang Qiao, if you really feel it's inappropriate, the position of concubine is also fine. Don't worry, even if you marry me as a concubine, I won't let others bully you."
Jiang Qiao: ...Yes, yes, yes, Yan Qingli killed me directly, and you pretended not to see it!
"Your Highness, I'll think about it."
Shi Yechen couldn't wait any longer. He had to get the support of the General's Mansion as soon as possible. "Jiang Qiao, don't hesitate any longer. Marry me."
Jiang Qiao nodded: "Okay, I will ask the emperor for help next time I enter the palace."
Please, mother! You are so stupid! It’s wishful thinking!
Shi Yechen got the desired result and left in the dark.
Wangcai was puzzled: [Host, why did you agree to him? ]
Jiang Qiao lay back on the bed, her black hair flowing, her body covered with white clothes, her eyes smiling, ethereal and seductive.
"Promise it, but let him be filled with anticipation. Then catch him off guard. Do you think Shi Yechen will be disappointed?"
"He was clearly looking forward to gaining the support of the General's Mansion and ascending to the throne of Crown Prince, but seeing his hopes reduced to ashes, Shi Yechen will go crazy. After all... he loves power so much."
"I just want him to..."
Before he could finish his words, he fell silent.
She fell asleep.
…
The next day.
An invitation was sent from the palace. The Mid-Autumn Festival was three days away, and the emperor specifically asked the queen to hold a banquet.
Ji Muhe and her grandmother sent a lot of jewelry and clothes.
Chunhua picked up a dress embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and said happily, "Miss, when the time comes, you can wear this. You will definitely be able to crush them. Let's see if they dare to say anything to you..."
Jiang Qiao nodded, then got up and went to Ji Muhe's yard.
Ji Muhe's complexion looked much better, and there was no trace of depression anymore.
I don’t know what Jiang Hao said to Ji Muhe after Jiang Qiao said those things to him last night.
Now it seems that the problem should be solved.
But Feng Ruoxi and her daughter still didn't move out. Feng Ruoxi was very ruthless this time and she hasn't woken up yet, so Jiang Hao naturally couldn't kick her out.
Jiang Qiao stayed with Ji Muhe for a while, then left the house alone.
She came to a clinic.
"Does Mandragora have one?"
She was wearing a veil and no one could recognize her.
The old doctor asked, "What do you want this for, young lady? This mandrake will cause hallucinations, it doesn't have many benefits!"
Jiang Qiao: "I've been suffering from insomnia lately."
Old doctor: "You can't use this stuff for insomnia."
"Sell it or not?" Jiang Qiao was impatient.
Finally, Jiang Qiao returned home with the medicine she wanted, but she didn't know that someone had also entered the clinic after she left.
"What medicine did the veiled girl buy just now?"
The man's voice was cool and gentle, like the breeze on a summer night.
Today is the anniversary of Master Fu Yanci's death. He came in person to buy paper money and incense, but ran into the female general.
Even though Jiang Qiao had his face covered, Fu Yanci could still recognize the figure.
The old doctor hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.
Until a gold ingot was placed on the counter, making a crisp sound.
"What did she buy?"
The old doctor had never seen such a big gold ingot in his life, so he quickly put it away.
"Mandragora, it's Mandragora."
Fu Yanci's dark brown eyes were clear, and he turned and left slowly.
Now he realized, what does it have to do with him?
Why did he follow her into this clinic just now...
It's just a...
Forget it, Fu Yanci himself is a short-lived person, why should he care about her?
A gentle breeze blew by.
Fu Yanci lowered his head to glance at the sandalwood beads on his wrist, which were given to him by his master.
There was just one missing, and he would ask her for it back next time they met.
He is going to burn incense for his master...
