Chapter 394: There is an illusion that she is her and the original owner is also her
Xiao Er's face turned red. This guy only thinks about these weird ideas all day long. Can't he think about something serious?
"I'm talking to you seriously!" Xiao Er was so angry that he twisted Xiao Yi's waist hard. Seeing him grimacing in pain, the heat on his face subsided a little.
Xiao Yi grabbed Xiao Er's hand and said, "Er, don't bother me. It's broad daylight, and I don't want to catch you sneaking out to do something serious."
Xiao Er pulled his hand back with all his strength, "There are other people around, just shut up!"
Xiao Yi laughed heartily, "Why should I be ashamed? Who of them would dare to eavesdrop on us? Besides, what was inappropriate about what I said just now? Didn't you tell me that you wanted to change positions... um?"
Xiao Er quickly covered Xiao Yi's mouth, wishing he could knock him out and throw him down. "If you still want to sleep in a bed tonight, shut up!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. Look, Long Qing is coming this way." Seeing that he had teased Xiao Er too much and was about to get angry, Xiao Yi immediately nodded obediently, trying to divert his attention.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Er turned his head to look over and saw that Long Qing was indeed moving towards them. Of course, he was very confident about where they were hiding and Long Qing would not be able to find them. He was just wondering why he did this.
"What is he doing here?"
Xiao Yi's nonchalant expression faded as he whispered, "They're probably targeting the secret guards hiding somewhere else. You know there must be a lot of people watching near the Imperial Palace's Sky Prison, especially with Ji Mingshuo imprisoned inside."
The two of them silently restrained their breath and watched Long Qing move forward past them.
Long Qing walked to one of the big trees and stopped. He looked up and saw that one of their secret guards was hiding there. The guard's eyes were cold and he stared at him expressionlessly.
Long Qing pulled a harmless smile from the corner of his mouth and bowed, saying, "Brother, I'm sorry to bother you. I'd like to ask you to pass on a message to your boss. My wife got so excited when she saw Ji Mingshuo that she accidentally stabbed him. Unbeknownst to her, I had poisoned the knife in advance."
After these words were spoken, the expressionless secret guard remained expressionless, but he nodded slightly to show that he understood.
After Long Qing finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer. He turned around and walked back to his original waiting position, continuing to stand and wait for Su Rongyan to come out.
Less than half a cup of tea later, a jailer rushed out of the prison, dragging the guards standing nearby with him and ran away, "Hurry, hurry, Su Rongyan stabbed the former crown prince, and the former crown prince is now unconscious. Go and report to the emperor."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Er intently and whispered in his ear, "Hey, Er, you won! How about it? I'll wash up and wait for you in bed tonight."
Xiao Er raised his foot and kicked Xiao Yi down, "Hurry up and report to the master!"
Xiao Yi smiled and flew away.
Ji Xiaohan was still in the imperial study. After the old eunuch finished his reply and was about to leave, a gust of wind blew by and he saw Xiao Yi kneeling there.
Seeing Xiao Yi suddenly appear, Ji Xiaohan was not surprised, "About Su Rongyan?"
Xiao Yi nodded, "My Lord, yes, Su Rongyan stabbed Ji Mingshuo with the dagger that Long Qing had poisoned. Ji Mingshuo has now fallen into a coma. Ask the jailer if we should call in the imperial physician for treatment."
Ji Xiaohan closed the memorial he had just reviewed and said, "No need for medical treatment. Even if Long Qing dared to poison Ji Mingshuo, he wouldn't dare to kill him directly. It's just a tormenting poison. Just watch over him and make sure he doesn't die."
Xiao Yi accepted the order and withdrew, "Yes, I will do it right away."
The old eunuch had been waiting nearby. When he heard the news, he was shocked and angrily asked, "Your Majesty, how dare Su Rongyan be so bold?"
Poisoning and stabbing Ji Mingshuo?
Even if Ji Mingshuo was not very capable, he was still more noble than her, a concubine of the Su family. How could she have the courage to stab the former crown prince?
If the former crown prince is injured, it will be a matter of reputation for the royal family. I'm afraid that the Su family will be confiscated and all nine generations of the family will be executed tomorrow morning, and all of them will be dragged out and beheaded?
Ji Xiaohan seemed to have expected this, and did not show any anger at all. He waved his hand and let the indignant old eunuch go away.
The curtain of the inner room was suddenly opened, and Xiao Wu helped Su Wanyan out. Su Wanyan looked at Ji Xiaohan's calm demeanor and asked with a smile, "Don't tell me, this drama between Su Rongyan and Ji Mingshuo was also something you had anticipated?"
Ji Xiaohan remained noncommittal. "Su Rongyan was trained by Su Hongan for so many years, always considering herself the future Crown Princess. But later on, not only did she get nothing, she was even forced to marry a shady guard. Any woman would be equally unhappy."
Xiao Wu brought a chair and placed it next to the master's desk. Just as he was about to help the Queen sit down, he saw the master reach out with his big hand and the Queen sat on his lap.
Seeing this, Xiaowu tactfully moved the chair away and quietly stepped aside to wait.
Ever since the Queen was welcomed back to the palace, whenever she was with her master, her legs were her personal mount anytime and anywhere. These subordinates who served the master were fed up with the affectionate displays of the two masters every day.
Su Wanyan raised her eyebrows, grasping the key point in the man's words, "You say that as if you understand women very well!"
Ji Xiaohan: "..."
Is this the point?
"I'm just looking at the problem from Su Rongyan's perspective, baby, don't set me up!"
Su Wanyan nodded. "Alright, then what are you going to do with Su Rongyan? Are you going to arrest her? After all, she assassinated the former crown prince, which is a serious crime, right?"
"She's not dead yet! Just spare her life for now. If you let her die so easily, wouldn't all the suffering you endured in the Su Mansion be in vain?"
Su Wanyan didn't expect that she was the one who caused this. Although all the suffering was borne by the original owner, it did not hinder Ji Xiaohan's intention to make the decision for her.
Ever since she became pregnant, Su Wanyan would sometimes dream about the original owner. In the dreams, she could empathize with the pain and grievances that the original owner suffered when she was bullied and abused.
It was as if... as if those were also what she had experienced. Sometimes when the original owner cried sadly in her dreams, she would wake up from the dream with sadness, and then, she would not be able to fall asleep for a long time.
Su Wanyan did not let Ji Xiaohan know about these feelings. She couldn't explain why. She always felt that the more she was connected to Ji Xiaohan, the more she had the illusion that she was her and the original owner was also her.
But how is that possible?
She was in the modern era, and the original owner was just an ancient woman in a book. The only connection between them was that she had traveled through the book and occupied the original owner's body...
"So, don't worry, I'm here for you!" Seeing that she was absent-minded, Ji Xiaohan lowered his head and said softly.
