Chapter 407 Jiang Si's Death



I am your fourth sister-in-law.

Listening to the Princess Qi's gentle and friendly words, Jiang seemed to be back to the time when he first met the Princess Qi when he returned to the capital from southern Xinjiang.

The Princess of Qi was also so kind at that time. She smiled and comforted her not to be nervous and to just speak up if there were people she didn't know or things she didn't understand.

More than two years of living in southern Xinjiang made her relax her vigilance and she developed a liking for the wife of Yu Qi's brother, who was from the same mother as her.

That was why she was careless and ended up in a dead end.

Jiang Si still remembers it clearly now: the wind on the cliff was so strong that it blew her long hair into disarray.

She wanted to live, so she clung to the edge of the cliff with her hands, and she didn't want to let go even though her fingers were bleeding.

She had endured the stagnant life in the Anguo Mansion and the fear of pretending to be a saint in southern Xinjiang. Even though she had a grudge and suffered with Yu Qi, she still wanted to live.

Princess Qi was also standing on the edge of the cliff, but compared to her desperate expression, she looked calm.

The woman squatted down with a kind smile on her face and slowly spread her fingers apart.

She fell.

Jiang Si could never forget the pain of every inch of his bones being broken when his consciousness became blurred, the smell of blood in his throat and mouth, and naturally he could not forget that devilish smile.

When he saw this woman again, Jiang Sihun felt cold all over and his heart was even colder.

She was not afraid of this woman, but she was afraid of such a vicious human heart.

How could a person be so cruel?

In other words, anyone who sets his sights on that position and fights for it can no longer be called a human being.

Jiang Si was silent for a long time. Princess Qi did not show any embarrassment at all. Her expression was as gentle as spring breeze and rain. "Don't be embarrassed, sister-in-law. I also went through this when I got married. If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me. My seventh brother and our prince are brothers. There is no one closer than us..."

Jiang Si smiled and said, "Of course I recognize Fourth Sister-in-law."

I can't forget it even if my bones are crushed to ashes.

Princess Qi was startled and said with a smile, "Seventh brother's wife has a good memory."

Jiang Si reached out and picked up the teacup in front of him, and his wide sleeves slid down, revealing a piece of his fair wrist and the jade bracelet on his wrist.

Princess Qi's eyes suddenly narrowed and fell on the jade bracelet, forgetting to move away.

This was a rare misconduct for Princess Qi.

But what if I lose my composure? This is the Lingxiao Bracelet!

The Lingxiao bracelet that the queen was given when she was born has a self-evident meaning.

For a moment, Princess Qi felt a mixture of emotions.

It is a taboo for a prince who has his own residence outside to inquire into the affairs of the palace. Although after receiving the letter, she knew that Princess Yan had cured Princess Fuqing's eyes and won the favor of the emperor and empress, Princess Qi was still shocked when she saw the Lingxiao bracelet worn on Jiang Si's wrist with her own eyes.

On the second day after her wedding, the bride went to the palace to pay homage to the Emperor and Empress. She was very careful, fearing that she might make a wrong step. She didn't say a word or do anything more, but all she got was the Empress's comment that she was dignified and steady.

Dignified and stable? Looking inside and outside the palace, the last thing that is lacking is dignity and stability.

The Princess of Yan was so bold that she dared to do such an outrageous thing the first time she entered the palace. And she succeeded. She was appreciated by the Emperor and Empress, and even got the Lingxiao Bracelet that even the Crown Princess didn't have.

The Lingxiao bracelets come in a pair. One was given to the Princess of Yan, and the other will definitely be left for Princess Fuqing.

Although no one dared to say that getting the Lingxiao bracelet meant that one would become an empress in the future, who wouldn't want such a good omen? She was so upset when she saw the bracelet, and I wonder how the Crown Princess felt.

Thinking about the instructions given by the King of Qi before entering the palace, the Princess of Qi calmed down and pulled Jiang Si's hand affectionately: "I heard that the princess' eyes were cured by the seventh brother's wife--"

The following words were interrupted by Jiang Si's obvious avoidance.

"I am not used to physical contact with people I don't know well."

Jiang Si's words made Princess Qi blush, but she couldn't lose her temper in this situation, so she could only say awkwardly, "I'm rude."

Jiang Si smiled and didn't say anything else.

Dealing with someone like Princess Qi is both difficult and easy.

Princess Qi strives to be an impeccable princess and remains dignified and generous at all times, even if she hears the most offensive words, she will smile magnanimously.

She sincerely hoped that Princess Qi would maintain this good habit.

People came one after another. Some of them were self-respecting and reserved, but they would glance at Jiang Si from time to time. Some people also came over openly and asked about Jiang Si's cure of Princess Fuqing's eyes.

Suddenly, Jiang seemed to be the center of attention, making it seem as if no one cared about Princess Qi.

Princess Qi was very well-mannered and showed no emotion at all. She just smiled from a distance at Princess Rongyang who was walking into the hall with her daughter, as a greeting.

Princess Rongyang was the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother and the closest sister to Emperor Jingming, so there were always such occasions. Cui Mingyue was promised to the Prince of Xiang, so the days of hiding from the public were over.

Princess Rongyang saw Jiang Si at first sight, her eyes as sharp as a knife.

"Mother——" Cui Mingyue called softly.

Her mother's temper is not stable enough, and she cannot tolerate the slightest anger towards ordinary people.

Of course she would be happy to embarrass Jiang Si, but not now. Before she successfully became the Princess of Xiang, she didn't want to cause any more trouble.

After hearing her daughter's whisper, Princess Rongyang retracted her gaze, flicked her sleeves and walked towards her seat.

Cui Mingyu sat down next to Princess Rongyang and looked at Jiang Si across the crowd of people.

This is an opponent worthy of her attention, and she is really looking forward to the future.

"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived, Princess Fuqing has arrived—"

Following the eunuch's loud shout, everyone in the hall stood up immediately.

Emperor Jingming and the Empress walked in hand in hand, followed by a girl in green.

For the first time, everyone's attention was not focused on the most noble person in the world, but on Princess Fuqing.

It is said that the Princess of Yan cured Princess Fuqing's eyes. Is it true?

Feeling countless gazes, Princess Fuqing straightened her back slightly.

It was her first time facing so many people staring at her, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. But she was the legitimate princess, and it was her first time appearing in public after her eyesight had healed. If she lost her composure, it would be a loss of face for her mother.

She had been blind for so many years, causing her mother to endure countless gossips. How could she embarrass her mother again now?

Princess Fuqing remembered her nurse's words: "If you are nervous, you should keep a cold face. This way, others can't guess what you are thinking and will only be in awe of you."

It is not difficult to keep a cold face, so Princess Fuqing appeared in front of everyone with a cold look.

Jiang Si raised his eyebrows slightly.

Compared to the soft and charming girl that day, Princess Fuqing in front of him seemed like a different person.

Just as she was thinking this, Princess Fuqing suddenly looked over and smiled sweetly at her.

Everyone immediately turned their attention back to Jiang Si.

Princess Fuqing is so close to Princess Yan, it seems the rumors are true!
