Chapter 139 Just give them a taste of their own medicine.
A dark figure emerged from behind the screen.
“Prince Xiao did have a motive. That day, Miss Jiang tried to frame Princess Xiao, and Prince Xiao was furious. However, his men were keeping a close watch on the situation. If there was any movement from Prince Xiao’s residence, our men would have noticed it immediately.”
Is there any possibility?
Emperor Jiaqing speculated, "Is there someone hidden in Prince Xiao's residence who even you cannot detect?"
"have."
The mysterious figure truthfully said, "The little girl named A-Wu beside Princess Xiao has unfathomable martial arts skills and unpredictable techniques. If she wants to deliberately hide her tracks, I'm afraid the Phantom Guards will not be able to detect her."
"oh?"
“But it wasn’t her. She’s been by Princess Xiao’s side every day these days and hasn’t tried to hide it.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiaqing's gloomy expression gradually softened.
"Perhaps I am overthinking it."
After saying that, he frowned and pondered for a moment, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Prince Xiao is also skilled in martial arts. Do you know how good he is?"
After a long silence, Guijue replied uncertainly, "Your Majesty, Prince Xiao has never used martial arts in public. This was an oversight on the part of the Phantom Guards; they failed to test him. Based on my impression of him, his skill level should be quite high..."
"Never mind."
Emperor Jiaqing rubbed his temples: "If he really did this, then it's quite an achievement of his."
"His Majesty."
He seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
The Jiaqing Emperor glanced at him and said, "Say what you want to say."
"Your subordinate... Your subordinate believes that Princess Xiao is actually also..."
Before he could finish speaking his enigmatic words, Emperor Jiaqing glanced at him indifferently, and he immediately stopped talking, lowering his head respectfully and fearfully.
Emperor Jiaqing sneered: "A while ago, Decai spoke up for her, and today you're speaking up for her too. It seems this woman is truly extraordinary."
"It's because the Phantom Guards have been secretly watching and observing her. She is indeed quite different from ordinary women in the inner court."
"So what?"
"..."
I will not elaborate further on the enigmatic nature of it.
This is already an overstepping of his bounds.
Emperor Jiaqing stood up, but swayed again. He quickly grabbed the table to keep from falling.
Guijue stepped forward with concern: "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that the cold poison in your body has not been completely expelled yet. How could this be? How could this cold poison be so stubborn?"
"It's alright."
Emperor Jiaqing still didn't take it to heart: "The imperial physicians have changed the prescription, and this time the medicine is obviously more effective than before, and the condition has improved a lot."
Hearing this, Guijue was still somewhat worried: "Your Majesty, please take good care of your health..."
He wanted to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back.
"Your subordinate takes his leave."
The treacherous atmosphere returned to the shadows. Emperor Jiaqing looked out the window, his eyes gradually darkening, a fierce killing intent brewing within them once more.
Prince Xiao's Mansion.
The servants in the mansion were happily removing the red silk ribbons, as if they had won a battle, immersed in silent jubilation.
In Qiwu Garden, Yun Si, who seemed calm, breathed a heavy sigh of relief upon hearing the news.
Since helping Qin Ye detoxify that day, they haven't seen each other alone for many days. Now, although Jiang Wanning's matter has been resolved, the most fundamental problem still exists.
It seems that this problem can never be solved except by that one method.
"My lord, I heard that His Highness is going to Lingnan to suppress bandits tomorrow. Originally, His Highness wanted to offer amnesty, but because those bandits hurt Miss Jiang, His Highness changed his mind and decided to avenge Miss Jiang."
Lan Xin and Lu Yu went into the room, made the bed for Yun Si, and put a few hot water bottles on the bed.
Hearing Lan Xin's complaining words, Yun Si gave a faint smile.
Others may not understand him, but how could she not understand him?
She guessed that Qin Ye didn't actually want to be recruited into the government at first; his original intention was to suppress the bandits.
However, he deliberately made people mistakenly believe that he wanted to be recruited by the government. Now, it was because Jiang Wanning was hurt by those bandits that he changed his mind in order to help her get revenge.
In this way, he could successfully annul the engagement, leave the Jiang family speechless, and even make them grateful for everything he had done for them.
Of course, all of this was based on the premise that Qin Ye had long anticipated that Jiang Wanning would be kidnapped by those bandits.
But how could such a thing be predicted?
It can only be planned in advance.
No matter how skilled those bandits were, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant as to sneak into the Prime Minister's residence and kidnap people without being discovered by anyone.
It is possible to do that.
Besides Awu, only Qin Ye remains.
Although Yun Si made this guess, she still couldn't be sure.
Qin Ye would actually take action himself?
They even used such extremely cruel methods.
Of course, Jiang Wanning deserves all of this.
He was simply giving them a taste of their own medicine.
at night.
A hot water bottle had been placed on the bed beforehand, and as soon as Yun Si lay down, it was no longer cold.
She drifted off to sleep in the middle of the night when she suddenly felt a corner of the blanket being pulled back. Before she could fully wake up, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
The soft, damp touch landed on her neck and shoulders, sending a tingling, numbing sensation through her, instantly dispelling her drowsiness.
"Qin Ye."
As Yun Si turned around in his arms, he kissed her lips.
From initial tenderness and affection, it gradually turned fierce and urgent.
He seemed to care about nothing else; at this moment, all he wanted was her.
After the madness.
Qin Ye held her in his arms, and only then did she finally have a chance to speak.
What's wrong with you tonight?
Before, they were so restrained, meeting secretly without making a sound. Why are they acting so recklessly tonight?
"Miss you."
Qin Ye's voice was hoarse from the aftermath of their love affair, and his thin lips brushed against the corner of his mouth, as if he was still savoring the experience.
"Yun Si," he called her softly.
"Um?"
He called out once, then remained silent. Yun Si looked up at him and asked, "What do you want?"
"I'm sorry you've had to go through all this time."
Qin Ye pulled her back into his arms.
He couldn't bring himself to say the rest of his words when she stared at him.
"Thank you for trusting me so much and cooperating with me. No matter what happened, you remained calm and quiet, giving me time to solve the problem and never doubting me."
Qin Ye's voice was low and deep, like a pool of warm water, which suddenly seeped into Yun Si's heart.
"That sounds really nice."
Yun Si was both surprised and gratified to hear his words.
He finally decided to tell her what was on his mind.
This is a hundred times more beautiful than any sweet talk.
"What?"
Qin Ye seemed not to have heard what Yun Si said, or perhaps he didn't understand her meaning.
What does it mean to sound really good?
"I love hearing what you're saying."
Yun Si expressed herself more directly: "Qin Ye, I also want to thank you for everything you've done for me. No matter how much pressure you put on me, you never thought of compromising. In the future, you must continue to do so, firmly believe in each other, and never abandon each other."
"good."
Qin Ye's brows and eyes were full of smiles. He said nothing more, but simply held her tightly in his arms.
All the hardships seemed insignificant to the two of them at this moment.
In the latter half of the night, the two whispered sweet nothings to each other.
They couldn't bear to sleep.
Yun Si knew that they had been reckless tonight and that they couldn't hide it any longer.
But it doesn't matter, killing her now won't be so easy.
Qin Ye reluctantly left before dawn.
After Qin Ye left, Yun Si immediately got up.
Today, Qin Ye led his troops to Lingnan to suppress bandits. She secretly followed him out of the mansion and escorted him all the way to the city gate.
Prince Jing, Qin Mu, also accompanied the bandits on this campaign, so Yun Si was not worried.
Those bandits were a major headache for the government troops in the capital, but to the regular army, they were nothing more than a rabble.
After watching them leave the city gate, Yun Si turned back.
When I turned around, I found someone standing behind me.
