Chapter 223 A perfect match, dagger for self-defense
Qingyun had already gotten up from the wedding bed. She was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, letting the maid behind her take off her pearl crown.
Seeing Ji Qingwu coming in, she raised her red lips and said, "It's fine if Fifth Cousin doesn't want to do my makeup. I'll leave after watching the ceremony."
Ji Qingwu stood beside the bronze mirror and said, "The ceremony is complete. Do you think Your Highness wants me to stay and watch your wedding night?"
Princess Qingyun's blush deepened as she said, "How could Fifth Cousin even make such a joke?"
Ji Qingwu thought about it. She had seen many women who came to see her for infertility problems. It was not a physical problem at all, but they did not know how to have sex or they found the wrong place.
From a doctor's perspective, she kindly reminded: "This is not a joke. Your Highness should have seen the Fire Avoidance Diagram."
Princess Qingyun acted as shy as every other newlywed, mumbling, "Why is Fifth Cousin as nagging as Mother today?"
Ji Qingwu said: "Okay, I won't say anything more, I'll leave now."
"Oh, don't go!" Princess Qingyun stopped her and said, "I have something to tell you."
Ji Qingwu looked at the room full of red and the dragon and phoenix wedding candles.
He said, "Do we have to talk about this on your wedding night? I dare not waste such precious time."
Princess Qingyun waved her hand and asked the maid who was dressing her to leave. Then she said, "I saw the way Fifth Cousin sighed when she looked at me and my husband just now."
While drinking the wedding wine, did the princess still have time to pay attention to her? Will you think about it more?
Ji Qingwu said quickly: "I am not..."
"I know."
Princess Qingyun took off her hair crown and immediately felt her head felt much lighter.
She continued, "Fifth cousin, you are not sighing because of the prince consort, but you are feeling sorry for me, right?"
Ji Qingwu swallowed his words of explanation and said, "It's good that you know."
"I'm so happy today." Princess Qingyun said with a happy smile on her face.
"I am happy to marry a prince consort, but I am even happier to have someone who loves me from the bottom of their heart."
Ji Qingwu was infected by her smile and also curled the corners of his lips.
"It's just that the princess can obviously find a better man to accompany her for life."
Princess Qingyun looked at Ji Qingwu strangely through the bronze mirror.
"Fifth cousin, you are so naive."
Ji Qingwu asked back: "Isn't the princess innocent? She would disregard everything for love."
Qingyun took off the earrings and said, "The thing that is most likely to change in this world is feelings, and the thing that will never change is power."
Ji Qingwu looked at her in the mirror, she was in her prime, and said, "The prince consort wants power, he is not sincere to you, is this okay?"
Princess Qingyun took off her forehead ornament and said, "It doesn't matter who the prince consort has in his heart. As long as he can act for the rest of his life, I will accompany him."
"If he wants the road to success, I will give it to him. But what I want is for him to cooperate with me, regardless of whether he is sincere or not."
Ji Qingwu came out of the new house and walked on the corridor back to the front hall, his head still thinking about Qingyun's words.
Qingyun was willing to be deceived. As long as that person was willing to deceive her, as long as she was a princess, Li Chengxun would have to deceive her for the rest of her life.
She once thought that Qingyun was obsessed with Li Chengxun to the point of losing her mind, but now it seems that Qingyun knows clearly what she wants and what she can give up.
How can you have the best of both worlds?
Ji Qingwu stood in the corridor in a daze, and couldn't help but wonder what she wanted more...
"Qingwu."
A drunken voice sounded from the other end.
Ji Qingwu immediately recognized the man as Li Chengxun. She quickly took a few steps back, keeping a distance from him, while watching to see if there was anyone around.
"Qingwu, don't be nervous."
Li Chengxun's body was shaking a little. He staggered a few steps, but when he saw her retreating, he stopped moving.
His voice floated over on the wind.
"I don't regret not choosing you."
Regardless of whether he could see it or not, Ji Qingwu nodded and said, "What a coincidence, me too."
She didn't want to get entangled with a drunk man, so she said directly: "Princess Qingyun is still waiting for you, Prince Consort, please go back to your room."
Li Chengxun was so drunk that he could not stand steadily and had to lean on the pillar beside him.
With a sad expression, he said, "In my eyes, feelings are not important at all."
There was only one way to get to the front hall, and Ji Qingwu couldn't get in. He looked back to see if there was any place he could take shelter.
Li Chengxun said with a dazed look in his eyes: "Emotions can't save the lives of people who have been treated lightly by high-ranking officials, nor can they bring a way out to poor students. They are the most useless things."
Hearing the sadness in these words, Ji Qingwu had to admit that Princess Qingyun and Li Chengxun were, in some ways, a match made in heaven.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the bushes behind Li Chengxun.
The man held a dagger that was shining coldly in his hand and ran straight towards him.
Ji Qingwu quickly found a pillar to hide himself.
Who would plan an assassination on the occasion of the princess' wedding? The house is full of guards, they will surround him soon. This man is a fool.
Sure enough, the guards in the princess's mansion were alarmed.
It was not known whether it was the assassin's first assassination attempt, but Li Chengxun easily snatched the dagger from the assassin's hand with one hand.
He said to the guards behind him: "No need to come over, she is giving me a gift."
The assassin pulled down the mask on her face, and she asked in anger and grief: "Have you forgotten what you said?"
Ji Qingwu felt that the voice was more familiar, so he quietly opened his eyes to look, and the person was none other than Mo Lingling.
When Ji Qingwu disappeared from Li Chengxun's sight, he became a little more sober.
He said seriously, "Lingling, this is not the place for you to mess around."
He put the dagger in his hand back into the scabbard on Mo Lingling's waist.
"Leave now, or else if the princess finds out, you'll be dead."
Mo Lingling looked at the knife on her waist and pulled it out again.
Her eyes were fixed on his handsome face: "Do you still remember this dagger?"
Seeing that she was saying something he couldn't understand, Li Chengxun looked impatient.
"What do you want to say?"
Mo Lingling said sadly: "You really don't remember that you promised me that you would overturn my father's case and use this as evidence!"
Puzzlement appeared in Li Chengxun's eyes: "When did I promise you?"
There were footsteps coming from the right rear of Ji Qingwu. Two maids came out of the princess's bridal chamber, apparently going to the front hall to look for her husband.
If Qingyun knew that Mo Lingling came to the princess's mansion on the day of her wedding, not only would she be able to overturn her father's case, the father and daughter would have to meet in the underworld.
Li Chengxun also saw the figure in the distance and was about to leave, but Mo Lingling grabbed his sleeve.
She said anxiously: "You saved me from the bandit's den and threw me this dagger for self-defense. You..."
Li Chengxun threw the dagger into the artificial lake not far away.
This dagger was made of black iron and sank directly to the bottom.
He said in a stern tone: "Mo Lingling, stop making up these stories to bother me! I won't be so easy to talk to next time."
After saying that, Li Chengxun, wearing a red wedding gown, left the corridor, while Mo Lingling stood there, deeply shocked.
The noise in the front hall suddenly quieted down.
