Chapter 628 Husband and Wife



Princess Qi stood there for a long time without moving. The maidservant whispered, "Princess, Princess Yan has left. It's cold outside. You should get in the car too."

Princess Qi came back to her senses and glanced at the maid: "Don't gossip about what Princess Yan said today."

The maid lowered her head and said, "I understand."

The Princess of Qi then stretched out her hand and, with the help of her maid, she got on the carriage of the Prince of Qi's palace.

Back at the palace, the King of Qi and his wife met.

The King of Qi asked directly, "When your mother asked you and the Princess of Yan to stay, what did she say?"

Princess Qi looked at the man in front of her unconsciously.

Having been polished by the years, but not yet at an age where time leaves traces on him, the Prince of Qi looks even more handsome than the year they got married, and his every move is dignified and steady, which was not the case back then.

It can be said that on the surface, Princess Qi is extremely satisfied with Prince Qi. Therefore, she has devoted her heart to the man in front of her since she got married and has made plans for him wholeheartedly.

But is it true as Princess Yan said, that once the prince gets used to her dedication, not only will he not be grateful to her, but he will also blame her for not giving enough?

Although the Princess of Qi was blinded by love and power, she was no fool and could sense the changes in the Prince of Qi.

The first time she took the initiative to ask the prince to take a concubine, the prince firmly refused. Later, he accepted it reluctantly, and then he nodded nonchalantly. And now——

Princess Qi felt bitter when she thought of the dissatisfaction in Prince Qi's recent words.

How could the prince refuse now? Instead, he blamed her for choosing a maid who was not pretty enough. Moreover, his blame was subtle at first and then became direct.

People's hearts are fickle, and Princess Yan did not listen to the alarmist words.

The Prince of Qi was puzzled by the Princess of Qi's stare, and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you say anything?"

Princess Qi came back to her senses, forced a smile, lowered her eyes and said, "Thinking about what my mother asked me to do, I feel a little scared."

"What did your mother ask you to do?" Prince Qi asked gently.

The man is in charge of the outside affairs while the woman is in charge of the inside affairs. During such a critical period, the princess who managed the palace in an orderly manner was a great help to him.

The gentleness of Prince Qi made Princess Qi confused again.

She shouldn't be influenced by Princess Yan. The prince is different from those unfaithful men and he will definitely not be unfaithful to her.

The Prince of Qi raised his hand and stroked the Princess of Qi's hair, his voice becoming gentler: "What happened?"

Princess Yinqi lowered her eyes and did not see the impatience in his eyes.

Princess Qi fluttered her eyelashes and said softly, "My mother asked me to ask Princess Yan to go to Baiyun Temple to burn incense together, and then--"

"And then what?" King Qi asked calmly.

Princess Qi pursed her lips and showed a panic expression: "Then let me find an opportunity to make Princess Yan die in an accident..."

Prince Qi's eyes narrowed, and he blurted out, "Did my mother really order you to do so?"

Princess Qi glanced at the King of Qi and said angrily, "Does your Highness think that I am lying? Although Princess Yan and I are not on good terms, I dare not have such thoughts..."

Even if she believed that the prince would not let her down, she still had to be careful and at least not let the prince think that she was a cruel and ruthless woman.

Thinking of this, Princess Qi sighed softly in her heart.

If there was no other choice, who wouldn't want to be a gentle, kind and innocent woman in the heart of her husband? Unfortunately, she had to help the prince fight for that position, so she was destined not to be innocent.

I just hope that the prince can see all these efforts and keep them in mind.

The King of Qi held the Princess of Qi in his arms and said softly, "I know you are a kind person. You did so much for me."

Princess Qi sighed softly: "I am satisfied with your words, even if my hands are stained with blood. I just hope that you will not despise me in the future--"

The King of Qi covered the Princess's hand and said angrily, "What are you talking about? Am I such a heartless person?"

"Don't worry, my lord. I was just overthinking it."

The King of Qi laughed and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. We are a couple, working together for the great cause. In the future, I will sit on the throne and you will wear the phoenix crown, and we will share the great Zhou kingdom."

As for the details of how Princess Qi planned for Princess Yan's death in an accident, Prince Qi did not ask.

If he asked too much about this matter, it would embarrass Li and he wouldn't gain any benefit. It would be better not to ask anything and wait for the result.

If it works, then my mother will definitely choose a woman who can be controlled as the seventh son's successor, which will be of great benefit to him. If it doesn't work, at most it will remain the same as it is now, with no loss.

But when he thought of Jiang Si's stunning face, King Qi felt a little regretful.

The Princess of Yan was the most beautiful woman in the entire capital. It's such a pity that she died like this...

But soon the King of Qi no longer felt regretful.

It was absolutely impossible for him to do something out of line for a beauty. He was not the short-lived prince who couldn't control his lower body, nor was he the seventh prince who was a love-obsessed person. As long as he could become the final winner and become the emperor of the Great Zhou, would he worry about not having a stunning beauty to accompany him?

By that time, there were three thousand beauties in the harem, and he could have any kind of beauty he wanted. What was the point of a Princess of Yan?

Prince Qi regained his composure and noticed that Princess Qi seemed a little uneasy today, so he took some effort to comfort her.

For a woman like Princess Qi, whose heart is entirely tied to the King of Qi, all suspicions are thrown aside as she listens to the sweet words of her lover, and she is left with only anticipation for the future.

By then, the prince will be sitting on the dragon throne and she will be wearing a phoenix crown. It will be a beautiful picture.

There is no need to go into detail about the arrangements made by Princess Qi. Jiang Si was also thinking about the trip to Baiyun Temple in two days.

It was certain that Princess Qi wanted to take advantage of this incense-burning opportunity to kill her, so she might as well take advantage of the situation and get rid of this small target as soon as possible.

In Jiang Si's view, those goals that once seemed out of reach are just small goals when you take one step at a time.

This was true for Princess Qi and Princess Xian as well.

Jiang Si held the little hand strands and curled the corners of his lips.

Want to plot against her while A-Jian is away? Then come on, she can perform better without A-Jian worrying about her.

"Master, who are you going to take with you to burn incense?" Ah Man asked expectantly.

"Take Ah Qiao with you."

The maid's pretty face instantly fell, and she struggled, "Master, Aqiao is too weak to run so far."

Aqiao, who was standing by, twitched her lips silently.

How could she be so weak? Besides, she didn't need to run to Baiyun Temple...

Just as he was complaining in his heart, he heard Jiang Si say, "Then let Ah Man go."

Ah Man was overjoyed, while Ah Qiao looked at Jiang Si with resentment.

Jiang Si said nonchalantly: "It's more convenient to take Ah Man with you."

When Ah Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Oh no, the master is going to do something out of line again!

Eh, I should be nervous, but why don't I feel that this time? Instead, I feel vaguely excited.

Ah Qiao secretly warned herself to adjust her attitude and resumed her obedient attitude.

In the blink of an eye, two days later, it was the day for burning incense as agreed.
