Geng and Jiang Lian both looked as if they had seen a ghost.
In the past, Jiang Yi treated them as enemies, and because he couldn't do anything about them, he kept silent when facing them.
However, today Jiang Yi not only talked to them, but also gave them advice.
Thinking of Jiang Yi's strange behavior before, Geng and Jiang Lian both looked at her warily.
"What tricks are you planning now?"
Jiang Yi turned a deaf ear to him. She only curled her lips and smiled, saying to herself, "Princess Xin may value the dignity of the palace. She is unwilling to easily cancel the engagement without a necessary excuse. However, the prince of the palace is still young after all. My step-grandmother and cousin may want to start with him."
"Sister is born with outstanding appearance. I think Gu Zhili will definitely break off the engagement in anger for her."
Although her reason told her that Jiang Yi could not help her.
But Jiang Lian was very moved when she heard this.
"Are you crazy? You actually want to help me." Jiang Lian looked at Jiang Yi strangely.
However, Jiang Yi's expression had returned to its cold state. Unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to say a word to the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.
Geng and Jiang Lian left in disappointment.
Seeing their figures completely disappear in front of him, Jiang Yi ran outside.
The emperor saw Jiang Yi from afar. The girl ran like an elf in the forest.
"Benefactor, you can come down now."
The emperor jumped down from the beam.
"Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?" Jiang Yi asked tentatively.
"Yes." The emperor also wanted to figure out why he was taking a nap and why he suddenly appeared here.
The emperor walked into the room, and Jiang Yi followed closely.
The house was simply furnished and was a bit messy because of what had just happened.
The girl arranged everything and invited the emperor to take a seat.
She made tea for the emperor.
The girl's hands were slender and beautiful, and just looking at them made one feel extremely comfortable.
As Jiang Yi brewed tea, he said to the emperor, "The advice my benefactor just gave me was excellent. Princess Xin looked very unhappy when she left, and even my step-grandmother had a sullen look on her face. I wonder what your name is, so I can repay you someday."
She smiled at the emperor, and her extremely smart eyes became more and more lively.
"No need. I didn't save you for any reward. I just couldn't bear to see you do that." The emperor said calmly.
He looked at the girl again, "Your face..."
He was really curious about what kind of face would match such a pair of eyes.
Everyone said that Jiang Yi was disfigured, but the emperor felt that just these two eyes were seven points better than those of ordinary people.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi slowly untied the veil, and the emperor's breathing almost stopped.
Under the veil was an extremely beautiful face, with almond eyes, a delicate nose, jade cheeks and cherry lips. Perhaps because she had been stared at by the emperor for too long, a slight blush appeared on Jiang Yi's face, making her look even more lively and charming.
The skin was as smooth as new, and there was no sign of disfigurement at all.
As if seeing the doubt in the emperor's eyes, Jiang Yi told him, "I was indeed disfigured in the past, but by chance, I met a master who gave me two detoxification pills that can cure all poisons. After I used them, my once disfigured face was healed."
She thought about it again, feeling a little embarrassed, "The situation was urgent just now, I..."
She mustered her courage and continued, "I will not marry the prince of Xin. Now that my body has been seen by my benefactor, I know that I am not worthy of him. From now on, I will stay with him by the green lamp and pray for his blessing."
The emperor also thought of the scene just now and felt a little embarrassed. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He said first, "Don't mind me, young lady. I have an illness that is different from ordinary men."
"You're not a man?" Jiang Yi asked bluntly.
The emperor's face twitched a little. "Not really, but... I've been poisoned before, so I'm different from other men. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she's nothing but dry bones in front of me."
"Just like a girl, to a girl, I treat you as a brother."
Although the emperor had been poisoned since childhood and could not speak humanely, this was the first time he spoke so directly to the same person.
But she thought that Jiang Yi didn't know his identity anyway, and she would never see him again after today.
It's nothing if it's embarrassing.
He comforted her, "So, young lady, don't mind it at all. The situation just now was urgent. Just think of it as a close friend seeing your body."
"Oh~"
For some reason, after hearing this response, the emperor felt that Jiang Yi's tone was a little strange.
But he thought he had heard wrongly.
He also thought about how beautiful the girl was, yet outsiders had spread rumors about her.
It would be a pity if such a beautiful woman were to spend her whole life with the ancient Buddha and the green lamp.
He advised: "If you don't like Prince Xin, then cancel the engagement. Not everyone in the world is like him. The girl is so beautiful, you can find another good match."
"I'll go back and take a look. If there are any men of the right age around me, I'll introduce them to you."
Jiang Yi immediately said excitedly: "That would be great, but I don't know the benefactor's name yet. How can I find a benefactor to look after me in the future?"
The emperor was reluctant to reveal his identity, so he said, "I will come to find you someday."
"That's fine. If it's inconvenient for you, then don't tell me." Jiang Yi didn't dwell on this question too much. She continued, "Your Excellency was once poisoned. What was the poison? I still have an antidote pill here that can cure all poisons."
As she spoke, she took out the antidote pill and presented it to the emperor like a treasure.
The emperor couldn't help but feel comforted, thinking that his worry about her was worth it.
