Xiao Jinglin was stunned and silent for a long time, then he said something without thinking: "My father has agreed to let me guard Jiajing Pass."
Ren Yaoqi had heard Xiao Jingxi talk about it before. Although she was reluctant, if this was what Xiao Jinglin wanted, she would still support Xiao Jinglin.
Seeing Xiao Jinglin suddenly bring up this matter at this time, Ren Yaoqi didn't say much, but just smiled and asked as if to change the subject: "Then will you come back to see me and the child?"
Xiao Jinglin nodded and said seriously: "Well, I will come back to see you every year."
The two couldn't help but smile at each other.
Yan Ningshuang's statement in front of Ren Yaoqi that she would find a way to save Xiao Jingxi was just an angry remark. She could not see Xiao Jingxi at all, and had no way to stop the major events in the Yanbei Palace. How could she stop Xiao Jingxi from going to Wuzhou?
After Yan Ningshuang returned, she was restless for the entire afternoon and tossed and turned all night, then she went out early the next morning to find Zhao Yingqiu in the villa.
Yan Ningshuang has been seeing Zhao Yingqiu frequently lately. They were already in a relationship, and Zhao Yingqiu was getting married soon, so no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
But today, as soon as Yan Ningshuang saw Zhao Yingqiu, she asked her to send her attendants away.
Zhao Yingqiu sent the maids away as she had instructed before asking, "Why do you look so bad? What happened?"
Yan Ningshuang shook her head and hesitated for a while. Finally, she made up her mind and walked up to Zhao Yingqiu and said in a low voice, "Do you still have that kind of medicine? Give me some."
Zhao Yingqiu was stunned: "What medicine?"
Yan Ningshuang bit her lip. "It's the kind that makes people look like they have a cold, too weak to get out of bed, and after taking it for three months, they'll cough up blood..."
Zhao Yingqiu's eyes widened, and he quickly covered Yan Ningshuang's mouth and whispered, "You, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Yan Ningshuang shook off Zhao Yingqiu's hand and looked at her, saying, "I heard the Empress Dowager mention that this medicine originally belonged to the palace. It's colorless, odorless, and can kill people without being seen. Later, Princess Chang'an brought it to the Zhao family when she got married. Princess Chang'an loves you so much, I know you must have it. Give me some!"
Zhao Yingqiu's face was pale and he was speechless looking at Yan Ningshuang. Yan Ningshuang stared at Zhao Yingqiu stubbornly. In the end, Zhao Yingqiu gave in and softened his attitude and said, "I have this medicine, but I don't plan to use it. This medicine is usually used to deal with disobedient concubines. It's extremely insidious. What do you want it for?"
Yan Ningshuang bit her lip and said, "Don't worry about it. Just give it to me. Don't worry, even if something happens in the future, I will never betray you."
Zhao Yingqiu was a little hesitant, but Yan Ningshuang looked like she would not give up until she achieved her goal. Zhao Yingqiu finally went to the inner room helplessly and took out a small porcelain bottle.
Yan Ningshuang snatched the porcelain bottle from Zhao Yingqiu's hand, but her hands were shaking a little: "Is this it?"
Zhao Yingqiu nodded, thought for a moment, and advised: "Ningshuang, if you really have any difficulties, tell me and I will find a way to help you. It's better not to use this kind of thing if you can." (To be continued...) This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
