Chapter 40
Jiang Qiuye stood up, covered his body with the quilt, pressed it against his chest, and exposed his white shoulders. The flowers were so dazzling that they were dazzling. He tried hard to suppress the throbbing in his lower abdomen.
"Brother Jian Xi." Her eyes gradually turned red, and she seemed not to know how to explain to him.
Ji Ci was already extremely angry and disappointed. He lowered his voice and said, "Qiu Ziye, I trust you so much, and you actually used this to plot against me."
Jiang Qiuye remained silent and did not respond.
"I know you have a lot of little tricks up your sleeve. I thought they were all insignificant, but I didn't expect you to go to such lengths. You're so self-deprecating. It seems all the etiquette I taught you in the past was wasted."
He shook his head and said, "You have greatly disappointed this king."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Jiang Qiuye panicked and jumped out of the quilt. She hugged Ji Ci tightly from behind and cried, "Brother Jian Xi, I know I was wrong. I regretted last night. We...we didn't actually have any relationship in the end. Please don't be disappointed in me."
After a moment of silence, Ji Ci pulled away Jiang Qiuye's arms and turned to look at her.
There were still traces of him left on her body last night, which were extremely glaring. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
Finally, he took his coat from the side and handed it to her.
Jiang Qiuye took it and put it on immediately, smelling the bergamot scent emanating from the coat.
After putting on her clothes, she observed carefully, "Brother Jian Xi."
"You are a girl, yet you came up with such a despicable method. You have no dignity. Where did you get the medicine?"
"I...I bought it on the black market."
She had already prepared herself for him to dislike her. Whether he left her and went away, beat her and scolded her, or had her thrown out of the main courtyard, she could accept it.
But she didn't expect that he would still give her his clothes.
At this moment, the self-esteem that originally did not exist in her heart suddenly shattered.
Compared to him, she was so shameful and dirty, trying every possible means to deceive, exploit and betray such a wonderful man.
The words I had planned to say couldn't be uttered at this moment.
Originally, she could have relied on him by being seen naked by him.
But she suddenly despised herself and could only cry and beg for his forgiveness. When she heard the word "disappointment" from his mouth, she felt as if her world was falling apart for no apparent reason.
"Brother Jian Xi, I'm sorry. I really know I was wrong this time." She immediately took a few steps forward and hugged his waist again.
"It's all because I'm so scared. There has never been a person in this world who treats me as well as you do. I'm afraid to leave you. I really don't want to leave you."
Ji Ci remained silent.
Jiang Qiuye cried even harder, "Brother Jian Xi, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have used such means to plot against you, even though you trusted me so much. I... I just wanted to be your woman so badly. I just... I just wanted to have your lifelong protection. Please, don't hate me, okay?"
No matter how hard she begged, Ji Ci remained unmoved.
He was really disappointed this time.
This woman has been plotting against me time and time again, starting from the rumors about Guihongtang.
But he has always indulged her. It is all his fault. It was he who indulged this woman into this state.
He once again pulled her hand away, turned around and left the bedroom. As he stepped out of the door, his leisurely voice drifted into Jiang Qiuye's ears, "Go back to your Wutong Courtyard now and pack your things. I will have the housekeeper send you away today. Whether you go to your new residence or return to the Anguo Mansion, it's up to you. I won't care about you anymore."
He said he would not care about her anymore...
After hearing this, Jiang Qiuye lost all his strength and sat down on the ground. His face was stiff and his blood was turning cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
The tears on her face surged even more violently, but she couldn't make a sound. She cried for a long time before she trembled and stood up, her steps heavy as if filled with lead, and she struggled to step out of the door.
By the time she returned to Wutong Courtyard, her luggage had already been put away by the housekeeper. However, she was still wearing Ji Ci's coat, which had been seen by many people along the way. Coupled with her red eyes from crying, it was hard not to have unpleasant thoughts. However, the servants in Prince Qi's mansion were the strictest, and such matters would never be revealed to outsiders.
She lowered her head, quickly changed her clothes, folded Ji Ci's clothes and placed them on the bed in Wutong Courtyard.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked it up and put it under his nose to smell it. The scent of bergamot came over him, filling his broken soul.
As she left Wutong Courtyard, she saw Susu and Qingling standing at the door not far away, their arms raised, their heads tilted to the side as they looked at her with a sarcastic expression. After looking at each other for a moment, they turned and returned to their own Wenlan Courtyard.
To be honest, she didn't care at all about Susu's attitude and thoughts towards her, and she also scoffed at the attitudes of all the servants.
The only thing that made her feel uncomfortable was that Ji Ci really wouldn't care about her anymore.
Jinhong stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, are you okay?"
Jiang Qiuye nodded silently, followed the group of people carrying luggage out of the palace, and got on the carriage.
Tian Qu escorted her away. They walked in silence until they reached a small courtyard with only one entrance. Although it was a small courtyard, its location was excellent, with the main road to Shengjing just outside, and the East and West Markets nearby. The mansions in this area were always in high demand, a testament to the meticulous selection process.
After Tian Qu helped organize all the luggage, he finally stepped forward and said, "Miss Qiu, please feel free to stay here. The prince spent a long time selecting this place, and although it's a little small, it's big enough for you. Here's the deed, and Miss Qiu's name is written on it."
Jiang Qiuye took it and opened it. This house was worth a lot of money, but she was given it as a gift. But she was not happy at all. Ji Ci did not need this house. From now on, their relationship was completely cut off and they would have no contact with each other.
"I will slowly return the money for the house to the prince." Jiang Qiuye said dejectedly.
Tian Qu said, "The prince said it was not necessary. These days, the young lady has prepared many medicinal meals for the prince every day, and she also took care of him personally when he was seriously injured. She deserves a house. Miss Qiu, just live here peacefully."
Jiang Qiuye forced herself to smile. After seeing Tian off, the surroundings became quiet and she felt really empty inside.
"Miss, what are your plans now?" Jinhong came out and asked her after making the bed in the dormitory.
Jiang Qiuye glanced around and didn't sense even a single secret guard.
Now no matter what she does, Ji Ci no longer cares.
He really didn't care about her anymore.
Jiang Qiuye shook his head slightly, walked into the dormitory in a daze, closed the door, and lay on the bed thinking.
She suddenly felt that she was too stupid.
If she hadn't knocked Ji Ci unconscious last night, and let everything happen naturally. Even if she hadn't told him this morning and lied to him again, she could really use this excuse to stay by his side.
Given his character, he will definitely take responsibility for this.
But her brain froze for a moment, and when she heard him say something like disappointment, she foolishly told him the whole truth.
So what if he hated her? It was obvious that her purpose was to stay to gain more intelligence and protection, and it was obvious that she didn't care what anyone in the world thought of her.
Jiang Qiuye, feeling angry and annoyed, rolled over on the bed and was suddenly hit by the pillow.
She stood up and looked at the pillow. Yes, it was brought out from the palace.
After staring silently for a long time, she suddenly reached out and tore the pillow open. A string of gold anklets fell out from it, shining brightly.
She picked it up gently with her hand, and her body trembled involuntarily. She was a little scared and wanted to throw it into the corner, but finally she withdrew her hand.
Never mind, she had tried all the ways to stay and had done her best.
The worst that could happen is that the final mission fails and the mission ends up in Yan Wu's hands. It's not like he hasn't experienced that before, so what if he has to go through it again?
Anyway, she survived and would continue to live until one day she found an opportunity to kill him with her own hands.
The eighty-seven people on the list were enough for her to exchange for the antidote every month.
After making a new decision, she quickly suppressed her inner sadness and shame with reason, immediately changed her mood, and no longer indulged in the failure of this matter.
After adjusting herself overnight and having a sound sleep, Jiang Qiuye continued to prepare medicinal food and send it to Prince Qi's Mansion from the next day. After all, she was not the type of person who would give up easily.
But to her disappointment, all the medicinal food was returned and he did not accept any. Moreover, she did not get to see Ji Ci again.
After living in the courtyard for five days, someone she didn't expect came.
"Fairy girl!" Ji Sang's voice rang out, and he ran in with a servant.
Ji Sang is just a useless prince with no real power or secrets. Jiang Qiuye doesn't want to waste time playing nice with him.
"Your Highness the Prince of Wei." Jiang Qiuye saluted him and stood up. She saw that his forehead was sweating and his eyes were excited.
Before she could speak, Ji Sang, his face full of excitement and surprise, spoke first: "Fairy girl, you finally escaped from my uncle."
Escape? Escape from what?
Forget it, this idiot King Wei is mentally ill.
"What did you say, Your Highness? His Highness Prince Qi treats my daughter very well."
Ji Sang was stunned when she heard this address, and suddenly remembered that day by the pond when she called him Brother King Wei.
"Why are you being so distant, Fairy? You should just call me Brother King Wei."
He had fallen in love with Jiang Qiuye at first sight at Prince Qi's mansion that day. He was almost twenty years old, but he had never been close to a woman. Unlike Ji Ci's abstinence, he had a higher interest in other pleasures.
But when he saw this little woman that day, so graceful and sweet, he had never thought of using his ability to protect someone. But she could easily arouse the desire to protect others.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I used to be a crude country girl, ignorant of etiquette. Later, after reading some books on etiquette, I understood the differences between men and women."
Jiang Qiuye lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, wanting to chase him away. "Your Highness, my humble abode doesn't have any tea or water right now, so it's really inconvenient for me to entertain you."
You understand, there is no tea, so you should leave now.
However, how could the fool Ji Sang understand the hidden meaning of this? He just observed Jiang Qiuye combing her hair and said, "Do you look down? I brought a lot of interesting things here today. Do you want to see them?"
Jiang Qiuye sighed and said nothing. She watched in silence as Ji Sang called the servant behind him, brought out a box and handed it to Jiang Qiuye.
"Open it and see if you like it."
Jiang Qiuye opened the box perfunctorily and saw a cricket inside. She hated insects the most.
really......
A straw bag is a straw bag.
"This is the Tianyuan General that I bought at a high price, specially for you, the fairy girl."
"Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness, but I've never taken care of crickets before, and we have a cat at home. If I see General Tianyuan and catch and eat him, that would be bad."
Jiang Qiuye acted as if she felt sorry.
"...Well, what you said makes sense. I'll take you with me when we go to Douzi Tower someday." Ji Sang grinned. "By the way, the main reason I came this time was to give you the invitation. I originally went to my uncle's house to look for you, but then I found out you moved here."
"Invitation?"
Ji Sang replaced the servant behind him and handed over another exquisite pink invitation.
Pink...
Ji Sang's hobby is really unique.
"My crowning ceremony will be in three days. You must come and participate in it."
The coming-of-age ceremony?
This capping ceremony is a major ceremony for a man to reach adulthood, not to mention a prince like Ji Sang. So, Ji Ci will definitely go to participate.
Jiang Qiuye's eyes rolled, and she immediately took the invitation with a smile, saying sweetly, "Thank you very much for the invitation, Brother King Wei."
