Chapter 194 I, Jiang Yao, am not one of you
"I will tell him that his granddaughter is shameless and has committed adultery with a man, and is pregnant with a bastard. I gave her the abortion pill for her own good. If Jiang Ao knew about this, he would support me."
"How can you be so shameless?"
"Second Miss Jiang, how can you speak to the emperor like this?"
Looking at the guard who brought another dose of abortion pills, Jiang Yao raised his hand, holding three silver needles.
"I, Jiang Yao, don't want to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of it. Zhao Huang, if you come here today, I can guarantee that Zhao Ce will be able to ascend the throne tomorrow."
Zhao Huang's pupils shrank and his face turned extremely dark.
Jiang Yao's words became more and more presumptuous. If it were someone else, they would have died countless times.
"Jiang Yao." He gritted his teeth. "While I'm still able to talk, you'd better drink the abortion pill yourself. You can't outlast me alone. I have plenty of ways to make you drink this abortion pill."
"You also said that I'm alone. Do you think there is anything else that can threaten me?"
After a few silent breaths, Zhao Huang narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "Your maid, you don't even care about her life or death?"
"Why should I care about a maid who brought me abortion pills?"
Although he said so, Jiang Yao's heart had already sunk to the bottom. Zhao Huang wanted to deal with the child secretly, so how could he let those who knew about this have a chance to breathe.
Xiaolan, I'm afraid you'll never come back.
Although she felt sad, she could do nothing about it.
Xiaolan didn't stop her from taking the medicine twice. I guess she knew what would happen to her life.
"What about your grandfather's body? Do you believe I've had someone dig up his grave?"
Jiang Yao looked at him expressionlessly: "Do you think I can burn my grandfather's body with my own hands and still care about what happens to the ashes?"
Zhao Huang was speechless as he looked at her, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"But, Zhao Huang, have you ever heard a saying?" She paused and continued, "Those who can't fight are afraid of those who can, and those who can fight are afraid of those who don't want to die. And I don't want to die right now."
"To be honest with you, Zhao Huang, I, Jiang Yao, am not from your place, so I am not my grandfather's biological granddaughter. But he was sincere to me, so if you dare to touch his grave, I, Jiang Yao, will not let your kingdom be disturbed even if it costs my life."
Zhao Huang was suddenly startled and remembered what Su Qianji had said, that Jiang Yao was not from Zhao.
"You are not from Zhao. Where are you from?"
"Don't worry about where I'm from. Anyway, I, Jiang Yao, won't buy into your tricks."
"Threaten me? You have to have the capital to threaten others, right?" Zhao Huang sneered, "You said you're alone, how could I be afraid of you?"
"I've read your Zhao Kingdom's history. Six hundred years ago, there was a plague. Almost half of the Zhao people were killed or injured. It wasn't until the envoys from the Yutian Kingdom arrived that the plague was suppressed, correct?"
Zhao Huang frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
"As for me, I don't have any special abilities. I just know a little bit about medicine and poisons. I can create thousands of plagues that you can't cure. Zhao Huang, do you want to give it a try?"
Zhao Huang narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time.
Now that things have gotten out of hand, Jiang Yao is not afraid at all. She was afraid before, so she left many ways out for herself, which are all useful now.
"Even so, Zhao Huang, do you still want me to marry your son?"
"If I let you keep this child, will you marry the prince obediently?"
You still have to get married.
Jiang Yao was really curious about his own value that could make Zhao Huang make such concessions.
She slowly lowered her hand: "I just want to keep this child. If the emperor doesn't threaten me with my child, I am willing to marry the prince."
"Remember what you said."
After leaving these words, Zhao Huang left with Eunuch Yuan, and added more guards to guard the door.
Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and placed his hand on his lower abdomen: "I'll keep you safe for now. Be good, we still have another battle tomorrow."
If she wins, she will take her children and leave Zhao State. If she loses... no, she must win.
Jiang Yao had a stern expression. He turned around and went to the inner room, where he took out all the medicinal herbs he had collected. He made each of them into poisons, some mild and some severe.
There will be a big battle tomorrow, so she went to bed early and sprinkled medicine powder beside the bed before going to sleep. Now she is the only one left, and she has to take every step carefully.
The next day.
Jiang Yao woke up very early, and the palace maids were already waiting outside the screen, standing in a row.
"Second Miss Jiang, I am here to help you change your clothes."
Jiang Yao glanced at the red dress on the table, walked over and picked it up: "I'll change myself."
"Second Miss Jiang, please let this servant come. The Emperor personally ordered this servant to serve you."
"roll."
The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground.
Jiang Yao picked up the wedding dress, put it to her nose and smelled it. When she found nothing unusual, she went in and changed into it.
The wedding dress had three layers inside and three layers outside, but she only wore the outer layer and wore neat clothes inside to facilitate her movements.
Her long hair was tied up tightly in a simple bun, fixed with a hairpin. She did not wear those bulky and gorgeous phoenix crowns.
Then he put all the medicine bottles in a box with Yuejian, and walked out of the screen with the box.
"You can go now."
The palace maids looked at each other in confusion, and one of them said tentatively, "Second Miss Jiang, you haven't put on your phoenix crown yet."
"No one can see it if you cover your head with the veil, right? If you keep talking nonsense, go back and tell Zhao Huang that I'm not getting married."
The palace maids didn't dare to say anything more. This was the first time they had seen an uncooperative bride. Moreover, today was the prince's wedding. If it was delayed because of them, they were afraid that even ten heads would not be enough to cover it.
After covering Jiang Yao with the veil, the maid grabbed her box
"Second Miss Jiang, let this be held for you by this servant."
"No, I'll get it myself."
Jiang Yao hugged the box tightly, which contained everything she wanted to take away.
The bridal sedan's journey was particularly smooth, so smooth that the people welcoming the bride were surprised and asked why it came out so quickly.
The palace maid didn't dare to say anything and just asked the wedding party to leave quickly.
The gongs and drums sounded and the sedan chair began to move.
Jiang Yao tightly grasped the medicine powder that he had prepared long ago and silently calculated the distance in his mind.
As soon as she got to the street, she would take advantage of the crowd to knock out the people carrying the sedan chair and then escape.
It was a desperate action, but it was the only way to avoid the guards surrounding her, otherwise there would be no escape at all.
Calculating the time, they were almost at the street, Jiang Yao slowly stood up and approached the curtain of the sedan chair.
The sedan chair suddenly stopped, and the people playing the gongs and drums also stopped, and the surroundings became quiet.
The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted by the wind, and the wind that blew in was mixed with the familiar aroma of medicine.
Jiang Yao's pupils shrank, and he quickly opened the box, took out the handkerchief and put it on his nose.
She walked out holding the box. Eunuch Yuan stood opposite the sedan chair, sprinkling powder in his hands.
"Second Miss Jiang." Eunuch Yuan continued to sprinkle the powder calmly.
"Didn't you tell me to keep the child and marry the prince?"
These pills are all ground into powder form, and when I looked back I saw the powder all over the road.
The people around her were long gone, and the people playing the gongs and drums were also gone. There was only a group of guards surrounding her, and Eunuch Yuan was constantly sprinkling medicine powder on her.
"Second Miss Jiang, please stop resisting. The royal family cannot accept an illegitimate child into the family. Getting rid of this illegitimate child will be good for both Second Miss Jiang and the Crown Prince."
