Chapter 279 Concubine Jiang: My name is Jiang Yuyan
The next day.
Jiang Yunshu sat on the dragon throne with a pale face, his eyes weakly swept over the officials, and finally fell on Jiang Li.
He raised his hand, and Eunuch Feng beside him immediately understood.
"The sixth prince of the Emperor, Jiang Li, is an extraordinary and wise son of the Emperor. I hereby respect the will of Heaven and follow public opinion. I hereby inform the Heaven and Earth and the Ancestral Temple to appoint him as the Crown Prince, grant him the imperial seal, and seat him in the Eastern Palace to continue the rule for ten thousand years and to reassure the people of the world. I decree this!"
Jiang Li took a deep breath and then kowtowed.
"Thank you, father, for your grace."
When she took the book, she felt filled with emotion.
The little prince who was once bullied by his brother in the palace has now become the crown prince.
Ever since their first meeting in the palace, her senior brother has always been behind her.
at the same time.
Jiang Feiyan walked into Concubine Wan's bedroom holding the imperial edict. She looked at Concubine Wan, who was once so arrogant but now stood in front of her, and her hands clenched involuntarily.
"Your Majesty has a decree!"
Scenes from the past emerged in her mind. Jiang Feiyan took a deep breath and her whole body trembled.
"Ms. Wan is immoral. From today on, you will be stripped of your title of Imperial Concubine and moved to Jingyuan to be confined to reflect on your mistakes!"
Concubine Wan knelt on the ground in a daze, without moving for a long time.
After losing, she was banished to the cold palace like the former queen.
why?
She couldn't understand why?
"Where's Yin'er?"
"Jiang Yin forced the emperor to abdicate and usurped the throne. He has been imprisoned in the Supervisory Council. He will never have a chance to turn things around." Jiang Feiyan stepped forward and whispered, "By the way, His Majesty has already drafted an edict last night to appoint Jiang Li as the crown prince."
She looked down at Wan Zhen'er and said coldly.
"Wan, please accept the order."
Concubine Wan looked ashen: "Your Majesty, I accept your order."
View Courtyard.
Wan Zhen'er looked at Jiang Feiyan who was following behind her, and felt a little uneasy.
She has already been banished to the cold palace, why is this woman still following her?
Given Jiang Feiyan's status, there is no need for her to handle such trivial matters personally.
"What do you want to do?"
Jiang Feiyan waved.
"You all go down."
Hearing this, the four female servants who were following beside him bowed and then left the cold and damp room.
This place is not like the West Three Buildings which were renovated by Li Lingge. Jingyuan, located in the southeast corner of the palace, has not been taken care of for many years.
The weed-covered yard had a big hole in the roof.
But at this time, Concubine Wan had no time to pay attention to these things, because Jiang Feiyan in front of her was even more terrifying.
"I've already been banished to the cold palace, what else do you want to do?"
Jiang Feiyan waved her sleeves and the door behind her closed instantly.
In the dark room, the smile on Jiang Feiyan's delicate face looked a little eerie.
"I want you dead."
Concubine Wan stepped back, shaking her head.
"No, no, I have no grudge against you in the past or in the present, why do you want to kill me?"
"No grudges or hatred?" Jiang Feiyan stepped forward and grabbed Concubine Wan's throat with her jade hand. "When Concubine Jiang was pregnant, you desperately sent her supplements. Is this what you call no grudges or hatred?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Wan's face immediately turned pale.
She kept slapping the arm with her hands, but Jiang Feiyan's five fingers were like iron hoops and could not be moved at all.
Only at this moment did she realize that this seemingly weak woman actually knew martial arts!
"I'm thinking about your health."
It had been so long that she almost forgot that she had such a past with Jiang Feiyan.
The main reason was that Jiang Feiyan and her son were safe at the time, so no one cared about this matter and she gradually forgot about it.
Ah--
Jiang Feiyan sneered and increased the strength in her hands.
"You knew clearly that she was pregnant, but you bribed the imperial physician to conceal the truth, sent her delicacies every day, and advised her to stay in bed and rest. Do you think you are taking care of her health?"
Veins bulged on Concubine Wan's forehead and she felt difficulty breathing.
She seemed to understand something, pointed at Jiang Feiyan in horror, and spoke with difficulty.
"You are not Jiang...Feiyan!"
From the very beginning, Jiang Feiyan kept saying "she". At first she didn't quite understand, but now the doubts that had been bothering her for years were finally resolved.
Back then, Jiang Feiyan was favored for a while.
She was worried that her position would be threatened, so she bribed the imperial physician.
The imperial physician told me that Jiang Feiyan's baby was large and she needed to eat a light diet and walk more.
However, the imperial physician who had benefited from her only prescribed tonic medicines for Jiang Feiyan.
But she was worried, so she ordered people to send nourishing food every day.
Not only did it win the favor of His Majesty, but it also made Jiang Feiyan extremely moved.
However, what she didn't expect was that Jiang Feiyan returned home to visit her family and eventually gave birth to a prince in the Jiang family. Both mother and child were safe.
Over the years, she has been puzzled and could only attribute the problem to the imperial physician's poor medical skills.
Since Jiang Feiyan gave birth, His Majesty has lost interest in this woman.
She regained His Majesty's favor, and no one could compete with her anymore.
Jiang Feiyan stepped forward slightly, leaned close to Concubine Wan's ear, and whispered.
"Jiang Feiyan had a difficult birth and died on that rainy night."
Click!
Along with the sound of Concubine Wan's cervical vertebrae exploding, she heard the last words of her life.
"My name is Jiang Yuyan."
At this moment, countless images flashed through her mind.
Jiang Cairen had a twin sister who died suddenly on the third day after she gave birth to her son.
She only found out about this matter later when she heard the palace maids talking about it.
This kind of thing would not have attracted much attention, and she had never doubted it.
Who could have thought that the Jiang family could be so bold as to replace one thing with another!
In other words, she was actually successful. Although she didn't kill two people with one body, Jiang Feiyan did die due to the large fetus and difficult labor.
However, the Jiang family replaced Jiang Feiyan with Jiang Yuyan, and the younger sister took the prince back to the palace instead of her older sister.
As the doubts that had been in her mind for many years were solved, her consciousness gradually dissipated.
thump!
Jiang Yuyan slowly loosened her hand, and Concubine Wan's body fell to the ground.
She slowly took out a piece of white silk that had been prepared long ago from the cabinet in the corner of the room and hung it on the beam.
Then the true energy flowed, and Concubine Wan, who had already died, was hung on the white silk by her.
After doing all this, she turned and walked out of Jingyuan.
"Sister, I avenged you."
She turned her head towards the direction of her bedroom and muttered.
"Please wait patiently for a few more days. When Li'er gets married, I will let His Majesty go to accompany you."
After the morning court session.
As soon as Jiang Li walked out of the hall, he was called to Concubine Jiang's bedroom.
Jiang Yuyan looked at Jiang Li who walked in, feeling a little emotional for a moment.
Things were going smoothly, and now, she had finally helped Jiang Li win the position of crown prince.
Next, as long as Jiang Yunshu dies, the world will belong to Jiang Li.
"The Grand Master of Ceremonies and Divination has chosen three auspicious dates for your wedding. Which one do you think is the best?"
When he heard the wedding date, Jiang Li's eyes flashed.
"Is mother so anxious?"
The corners of Jiang Yuyan's mouth curled up slightly. She knew what Jiang Li was thinking.
Jiang Yunshu will not live long. If this matter is delayed until Jiang Yunshu dies, I will observe a three-year mourning period and cannot get married.
In this way, Jiang Li can delay for another three years.
Three years later, Jiang Li will have complete control over the court, and she will no longer be able to stop Jiang Li from doing anything.
"The auspicious day is ten days from now. Let's choose this day. Otherwise, your father may not be able to wait for your wedding."
Jiang Li slowly clenched her fists. She naturally understood the deep meaning behind these words.
All her little thoughts were seen through.
"It's all up to my mother to decide."
Jiang Yuyan said earnestly.
"As long as you marry Ping'er, I won't care what you do in the future."
As if she was afraid that Jiang Li wouldn't understand, she lowered her voice and spoke meaningfully.
"There is a small door next to Xihua Gate. People from outside often enter and exit the palace from there. If you have the ability, you can summon Li Lingge to the palace every night and no one will know."
Jiang Li's eyes widened, a blush appearing on his cheeks.
"Mother, what are you talking about!"
Although she said this, she had already started imagining such a scene in her mind.
Summoning the eldest senior brother to the palace every night, although it is unnamed but it is real, it is not unacceptable if you think about it.
But this seems like keeping a male lover, I don’t know if the eldest brother would agree to it.
Her thoughts were wandering, and her legs involuntarily came together.
Jiang Mansion.
"I won't marry!"
Jiang Ping'er had just returned from traveling with Chen Xiufeng when she heard the sad news that she was going to get married the next day.
She was still curious about why her master was in a hurry to take her back to the capital.
It turned out that her family had already arranged a marriage for her!
"Asshole, your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, do you have any say in whether you marry or not?"
"Father, you clearly know that your daughter likes Prince Wei." Ever since the last time in the imperial prison, when Li Lingge accompanied her to deal with Shen Buping, her heart has been filled with Li Lingge.
In this life, she will not marry anyone but Li Lingge!
"Marry whoever you want to marry?" Jiang He said coldly, "Prince Wei is such a great hero, would he be interested in you?"
Without waiting for Jiang Ping'er to refute, he continued.
"His Majesty has granted you the marriage. If you dare to break it, the entire Jiang family will be buried with you. If you really have the heart to do this, your mother and I will die in front of you right now!"
As he said that, Jiang He pulled out the dagger he had prepared long ago and was about to slash his neck.
Seeing this, Jiang Ping'er's eyes immediately turned red.
"I marry!"
Jiang He raised his eyebrows and quickly put away the dagger.
Mrs. Jiang on the side quickly hugged Jiang Ping'er in her arms and comforted her.
"Jiang Li has been named the crown prince now. In the future, he will be the emperor, and you will be the queen who rules the country!"
She raised her hand and gently patted the sobbing Jiang Ping'er's back.
"This is the blessing your aunt prayed for you, and it is also the blessing of our Jiang family. Your aunt chose to sacrifice her lifelong happiness for the Jiang family. This is the fate of a woman."
"Shut up!" Jiang He immediately shouted at his wife when he heard her talk getting more and more outrageous, "What nonsense are you talking to the child about!"
Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes but did not talk about the topic any further.
It was not until Jiang He left the hall that Jiang Ping'er, tired of crying, slowly raised her head and asked curiously.
"When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that my aunt and His Majesty were very affectionate. Why did my mother say that my aunt sacrificed her own happiness?"
Mrs. Jiang glanced outside the hall and confirmed that there was no one there, then she took Jiang Ping'er's hand and sat down.
"I shouldn't have told you this, but since you're about to enter the palace, it's okay to tell you."
She lowered her voice a bit and spoke mysteriously.
"Your aunt is a pair of twins. You should have heard of it."
Jiang Ping'er nodded with tears in her eyes.
"I heard from the servants in the mansion that my aunt died of illness the year I was born, didn't she?"
Mrs. Jiang shook her head.
"In fact, it was not your younger aunt who died, but your older aunt."
Hearing this, Jiang Ping'er no longer cared about being sad and her eyes widened instantly.
"What is mother talking about? Isn't my eldest aunt my cousin's mother, Concubine Jiang in the palace?"
Mrs. Jiang sighed and said as she wiped the tears from Jiang Ping'er's cheeks with a handkerchief.
"That year, your eldest aunt came home to visit her parents, but she died of hemorrhage due to a difficult labor due to the large fetus. Fortunately, the fetus was saved.
Your grandfather was worried that this incident would displease the emperor, and he didn’t want the Jiang family to be left alone in the palace, and his grandson would have to live with others in the future, so—"
After a pause, she leaned close to Jiang Ping'er's ear and whispered.
"So, your grandfather secretly replaced your eldest aunt with your younger aunt and returned to the palace. Three days later, he lied to the public that your younger aunt had died suddenly of illness and buried her hastily."
Jiang Ping'er covered her mouth, feeling that the news was too shocking.
She didn't even know that the Jiang family had such a past.
After a while, she came back to her senses.
"My aunt hadn't married yet."
"That's the fate of women." Madam Jiang sighed, "That day, your aunt cried so hard that her eyes turned red. Your grandfather threatened to commit suicide with a dagger just like your father did. In the end, she obeyed."
Having said this, she smiled sadly.
"I know you don't like your cousin, but the Prince of Wei is not a good match either.
It is said that the lady in the palace has an unclear relationship with Li Lingge. If you enter the Prince Wei's Palace, she will definitely not tolerate you.
In comparison, it is better for you to enter the palace as a queen, and your aunt will also take care of you."
Jiang Ping'er's eyelashes trembled.
"The academy's dean and the prince... they are uncle and sister-in-law!"
Ha ha.
The image of Yun Yourong emerged in Mrs. Jiang's mind.
"So what if they are uncle and sister-in-law? Li Lingge is lustful. You have seen his sister-in-law's appearance. She was once the top of the Rouge Ranking. Do you think Li Lingge can really resist?"
Jiang Ping'er lowered her eyes slightly. The two pieces of news that shocked her in succession made her feel confused for a moment.
dusk.
Medicine refining courtyard.
"Fifth senior brother."
Jingting turned his head and looked behind him. Seeing Jiang Ping'er's red eyes, he showed a hint of doubt.
"Junior sister, what's the matter?"
Jiang Ping'er walked into the house.
"I want to ask Brother, is there any medicine that can make people fall into a coma?"
She had promised Li Lingge that she would devote herself to him, and she couldn't and didn't want to break her promise.
However, after she had settled her father, she went to Prince Wei's Mansion and found that Li Lingge was no longer there.
After that, she traveled with her teacher and never met Li Lingge.
Although her marriage with her cousin was irreversible, she had to give her first time to Li Lingge.
"Falling into coma?" Jing Ting had a bad feeling in his heart, and he had to ask clearly, "What does Junior Sister plan to do with it?"
"I, I just use it for self-defense."
How could Jiang Ping'er possibly say everything that was in her mind? She just stumbled over her demands.
"It would be best if it was a drug that could cause hallucinations, like falling into a dreamlike illusion without realizing it."
When I heard about the efficacy of this medicine, it doesn't seem like it can be used for self-defense.
he asked tentatively.
"Will incense work?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ping'er shook her head.
"The incense won't work. If it does, wouldn't I also be affected if I smelled it?"
If it was a drug, she could also put it in the drink.
If you are in the same room with someone, you will smell the drug yourself.
Jingting explained.
"This drug has an antidote. If you take the antidote in advance, you won't be affected. But if other people smell it, they will become drowsy and have beautiful dreams, as if they were experiencing it in person."
Jiang Ping'er's eyes became brighter and brighter. This kind of incense just met her needs.
"Is there really such a scent?"
Jingting stared at Jiang Ping'er and gave instructions.
"Yes, I do, but you must never tell anyone that you got it from me."
"I will never tell anyone." Jiang Ping'er immediately held up three fingers and swore to the sky, "If I tell anyone, then -"
"Okay, okay, I believe you. No need to swear an oath."
Seeing this, Jingting turned around and took out a brocade box from the cabinet.
"This thing is called Soul-Eating Rosemary. It's fine once or twice, but if you smell it for a long time, it will consume your soul. Remember this."
As he spoke, he picked up a porcelain bottle from the brocade box.
Looking at the soul-eating rosemary in the brocade box, Jiang Ping'er felt as if she had found a treasure.
She belongs to the eldest brother, and whenever her cousin comes to see her, she will light this incense.
In the future, the worst that could happen is that she would persuade her cousin to take more wives, and then she would be free.
"I understand. Thank you, Fifth Brother."
Jiang Ping'er took the Soul-Eating Rosemary and ran out of the Medicine Refining Villa happily.
Prince Wei's Palace.
"After so many years of planning, your wish has finally come true."
Yun Yourong lay on the recliner, looking at the sky, rubbing her legs together.
Li Lingge was massaging her shoulders, but while massaging, he ended up pinching a grape in his hand.
Thinking back to his original desire to ascend to heaven, Li Lingge couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
“That’s not really my wish.”
"Oh?" Yun Yourong asked with a little curiosity, "Isn't your wish to destroy Nanyue and help Jiang Li become the emperor of Dachu?"
Li Lingge let out a long sigh.
“This is just a small part of the aspiration.”
"What is the other big wish?"
Recalling the system's deception, Li Lingge subconsciously increased the strength in his voice and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.
"Ascension."
Hearing the word "ascension", Yun Yourong pursed her lips and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
The next moment, her whole body trembled and she cried out subconsciously.
She clenched the armrest with her delicate hands and murmured.
"Still in the yard, what do you want to do?"
"No." Li Lingge shook his head, and then whispered in Yun Yourong's ear, "I just want some sweetness."
Hearing this, Yun Yourong patted the back of Li Lingge's hand and said coquettishly.
"Okay, have you learned to bully me?"
"How dare I?" Li Lingge looked aggrieved, and then changed the subject, "I just want to eat you."
As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed Yun Yourong, his hands going deeper and deeper.
Li Lingge hugged Yun Yourong's neck tightly and hummed with ambiguous meaning from the tip of his nose.
The next moment, the sky became dark and the sunset was obscured by dark clouds.
Yun Yourong looked at the looming thunderclouds with her beautiful eyes gradually turning up, and she couldn't help but rolling her eyes.
(End of this chapter)
The next day.
Jiang Yunshu sat on the dragon throne with a pale face, his eyes weakly swept over the officials, and finally fell on Jiang Li.
He raised his hand, and Eunuch Feng beside him immediately understood.
"The sixth prince of the Emperor, Jiang Li, is an extraordinary and wise son of the Emperor. I hereby respect the will of Heaven and follow public opinion. I hereby inform the Heaven and Earth and the Ancestral Temple to appoint him as the Crown Prince, grant him the imperial seal, and seat him in the Eastern Palace to continue the rule for ten thousand years and to reassure the people of the world. I decree this!"
Jiang Li took a deep breath and then kowtowed.
"Thank you, father, for your grace."
When she took the book, she felt filled with emotion.
The little prince who was once bullied by his brother in the palace has now become the crown prince.
Ever since their first meeting in the palace, her senior brother has always been behind her.

Jiang Feiyan walked into Concubine Wan's bedroom holding the imperial edict. She looked at Concubine Wan, who was once so arrogant but now stood in front of her, and her hands clenched involuntarily.
"Your Majesty has a decree!"
Scenes from the past emerged in her mind. Jiang Feiyan took a deep breath and her whole body trembled.
"Ms. Wan is immoral. From today on, you will be stripped of your title of Imperial Concubine and moved to Jingyuan to be confined to reflect on your mistakes!"
Concubine Wan knelt on the ground in a daze, without moving for a long time.
After losing, she was banished to the cold palace like the former queen.
why?
She couldn't understand why?
"Where's Yin'er?"
"Jiang Yin forced the emperor to abdicate and usurped the throne. He has been imprisoned in the Supervisory Council. He will never have a chance to turn things around." Jiang Feiyan stepped forward and whispered, "By the way, His Majesty has already drafted an edict last night to appoint Jiang Li as the crown prince."
She looked down at Wan Zhen'er and said coldly.
"Wan, please accept the order."
Concubine Wan looked ashen: "Your Majesty, I accept your order."

Wan Zhen'er looked at Jiang Feiyan who was following behind her, and felt a little uneasy.

"You knew clearly that she was pregnant, but you bribed the imperial physician to conceal the truth, sent her delicacies every day, and advised her to stay in bed and rest. Do you think you are taking care of her health?"

Since Jiang Feiyan gave birth, His Majesty has lost interest in this woman.
She regained His Majesty's favor, and no one could compete with her anymore.

Along with the sound of Concubine Wan's cervical vertebrae exploding, she heard the last words of her life.

She slowly took out a piece of white silk that had been prepared long ago from the cabinet in the corner of the room and hung it on the beam.
Then the true energy flowed, and Concubine Wan, who had already died, was hung on the white silk by her.
After doing all this, she turned and walked out of Jingyuan.
"Sister, I avenged you."
She turned her head towards the direction of her bedroom and muttered.
"Please wait patiently for a few more days. When Li'er gets married, I will let His Majesty go to accompany you."
After the morning court session.
As soon as Jiang Li walked out of the hall, he was called to Concubine Jiang's bedroom.
Jiang Yuyan looked at Jiang Li who walked in, feeling a little emotional for a moment.
Things were going smoothly, and now, she had finally helped Jiang Li win the position of crown prince.
Next, as long as Jiang Yunshu dies, the world will belong to Jiang Li.
"The Grand Master of Ceremonies and Divination has chosen three auspicious dates for your wedding. Which one do you think is the best?"
When he heard the wedding date, Jiang Li's eyes flashed.
"Is mother so anxious?"
The corners of Jiang Yuyan's mouth curled up slightly. She knew what Jiang Li was thinking.
Jiang Yunshu will not live long. If this matter is delayed until Jiang Yunshu dies, I will observe a three-year mourning period and cannot get married.
In this way, Jiang Li can delay for another three years.
Three years later, Jiang Li will have complete control over the court, and she will no longer be able to stop Jiang Li from doing anything.
"The auspicious day is ten days from now. Let's choose this day. Otherwise, your father may not be able to wait for your wedding."
Jiang Li slowly clenched her fists. She naturally understood the deep meaning behind these words.
All her little thoughts were seen through.
"It's all up to my mother to decide."
Jiang Yuyan said earnestly.
"As long as you marry Ping'er, I won't care what you do in the future."
As if she was afraid that Jiang Li wouldn't understand, she lowered her voice and spoke meaningfully.

Jiang Mansion.
"I won't marry!"
Jiang Ping'er had just returned from traveling with Chen Xiufeng when she heard the sad news that she was going to get married the next day.
She was still curious about why her master was in a hurry to take her back to the capital.
It turned out that her family had already arranged a marriage for her!
"Asshole, your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, do you have any say in whether you marry or not?"
"Father, you clearly know that your daughter likes Prince Wei." Ever since the last time in the imperial prison, when Li Lingge accompanied her to deal with Shen Buping, her heart has been filled with Li Lingge.

Without waiting for Jiang Ping'er to refute, he continued.
"His Majesty has granted you the marriage. If you dare to break it, the entire Jiang family will be buried with you. If you really have the heart to do this, your mother and I will die in front of you right now!"
As he said that, Jiang He pulled out the dagger he had prepared long ago and was about to slash his neck.
Seeing this, Jiang Ping'er's eyes immediately turned red.
"I marry!"
Jiang He raised his eyebrows and quickly put away the dagger.
Mrs. Jiang on the side quickly hugged Jiang Ping'er in her arms and comforted her.
"Jiang Li has been named the crown prince now. In the future, he will be the emperor, and you will be the queen who rules the country!"
She raised her hand and gently patted the sobbing Jiang Ping'er's back.
"This is the blessing your aunt prayed for you, and it is also the blessing of our Jiang family. Your aunt chose to sacrifice her lifelong happiness for the Jiang family. This is the fate of a woman."
"Shut up!" Jiang He immediately shouted at his wife when he heard her talk getting more and more outrageous, "What nonsense are you talking to the child about!"

Mrs. Jiang sighed and said as she wiped the tears from Jiang Ping'er's cheeks with a handkerchief.
"That year, your eldest aunt came home to visit her parents, but she died of hemorrhage due to a difficult labor due to the large fetus. Fortunately, the fetus was saved.
Your grandfather was worried that this incident would displease the emperor, and he didn’t want the Jiang family to be left alone in the palace, and his grandson would have to live with others in the future, so—"
After a pause, she leaned close to Jiang Ping'er's ear and whispered.
"So, your grandfather secretly replaced your eldest aunt with your younger aunt and returned to the palace. Three days later, he lied to the public that your younger aunt had died suddenly of illness and buried her hastily."
Jiang Ping'er covered her mouth, feeling that the news was too shocking.
She didn't even know that the Jiang family had such a past.
After a while, she came back to her senses.
"My aunt hadn't married yet."
"That's the fate of women." Madam Jiang sighed, "That day, your aunt cried so hard that her eyes turned red. Your grandfather threatened to commit suicide with a dagger just like your father did. In the end, she obeyed."
Having said this, she smiled sadly.
"I know you don't like your cousin, but the Prince of Wei is not a good match either.
It is said that the lady in the palace has an unclear relationship with Li Lingge. If you enter the Prince Wei's Palace, she will definitely not tolerate you.
In comparison, it is better for you to enter the palace as a queen, and your aunt will also take care of you."
Jiang Ping'er's eyelashes trembled.
"The academy's dean and the prince... they are uncle and sister-in-law!"
Ha ha.
The image of Yun Yourong emerged in Mrs. Jiang's mind.
"So what if they are uncle and sister-in-law? Li Lingge is lustful. You have seen his sister-in-law's appearance. She was once the top of the Rouge Ranking. Do you think Li Lingge can really resist?"
Jiang Ping'er lowered her eyes slightly. The two pieces of news that shocked her in succession made her feel confused for a moment.
dusk.
Medicine refining courtyard.
"Fifth senior brother."
Jingting turned his head and looked behind him. Seeing Jiang Ping'er's red eyes, he showed a hint of doubt.
"Junior sister, what's the matter?"
Jiang Ping'er walked into the house.
"I want to ask Brother, is there any medicine that can make people fall into a coma?"
She had promised Li Lingge that she would devote herself to him, and she couldn't and didn't want to break her promise.
However, after she had settled her father, she went to Prince Wei's Mansion and found that Li Lingge was no longer there.
After that, she traveled with her teacher and never met Li Lingge.
Although her marriage with her cousin was irreversible, she had to give her first time to Li Lingge.
"Falling into coma?" Jing Ting had a bad feeling in his heart, and he had to ask clearly, "What does Junior Sister plan to do with it?"
"I, I just use it for self-defense."
How could Jiang Ping'er possibly say everything that was in her mind? She just stumbled over her demands.
"It would be best if it was a drug that could cause hallucinations, like falling into a dreamlike illusion without realizing it."
When I heard about the efficacy of this medicine, it doesn't seem like it can be used for self-defense.
he asked tentatively.
"Will incense work?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ping'er shook her head.
"The incense won't work. If it does, wouldn't I also be affected if I smelled it?"
If it was a drug, she could also put it in the drink.
If you are in the same room with someone, you will smell the drug yourself.
Jingting explained.
"This drug has an antidote. If you take the antidote in advance, you won't be affected. But if other people smell it, they will become drowsy and have beautiful dreams, as if they were experiencing it in person."
Jiang Ping'er's eyes became brighter and brighter. This kind of incense just met her needs.
"Is there really such a scent?"
Jingting stared at Jiang Ping'er and gave instructions.
"Yes, I do, but you must never tell anyone that you got it from me."
"I will never tell anyone." Jiang Ping'er immediately held up three fingers and swore to the sky, "If I tell anyone, then -"
"Okay, okay, I believe you. No need to swear an oath."
Seeing this, Jingting turned around and took out a brocade box from the cabinet.
"This thing is called Soul-Eating Rosemary. It's fine once or twice, but if you smell it for a long time, it will consume your soul. Remember this."
As he spoke, he picked up a porcelain bottle from the brocade box.
Looking at the soul-eating rosemary in the brocade box, Jiang Ping'er felt as if she had found a treasure.
She belongs to the eldest brother, and whenever her cousin comes to see her, she will light this incense.
In the future, the worst that could happen is that she would persuade her cousin to take more wives, and then she would be free.
"I understand. Thank you, Fifth Brother."
Jiang Ping'er took the Soul-Eating Rosemary and ran out of the Medicine Refining Villa happily.
Prince Wei's Palace.
"After so many years of planning, your wish has finally come true."
Yun Yourong lay on the recliner, looking at the sky, rubbing her legs together.
Li Lingge was massaging her shoulders, but while massaging, he ended up pinching a grape in his hand.
Thinking back to his original desire to ascend to heaven, Li Lingge couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
“That’s not really my wish.”
"Oh?" Yun Yourong asked with a little curiosity, "Isn't your wish to destroy Nanyue and help Jiang Li become the emperor of Dachu?"
Li Lingge let out a long sigh.
“This is just a small part of the aspiration.”
"What is the other big wish?"
Recalling the system's deception, Li Lingge subconsciously increased the strength in his voice and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.
"Ascension."
Hearing the word "ascension", Yun Yourong pursed her lips and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
The next moment, her whole body trembled and she cried out subconsciously.
She clenched the armrest with her delicate hands and murmured.
"Still in the yard, what do you want to do?"
"No." Li Lingge shook his head, and then whispered in Yun Yourong's ear, "I just want some sweetness."
Hearing this, Yun Yourong patted the back of Li Lingge's hand and said coquettishly.
"Okay, have you learned to bully me?"
"How dare I?" Li Lingge looked aggrieved, and then changed the subject, "I just want to eat you."
As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed Yun Yourong, his hands going deeper and deeper.
Li Lingge hugged Yun Yourong's neck tightly and hummed with ambiguous meaning from the tip of his nose.
The next moment, the sky became dark and the sunset was obscured by dark clouds.
Yun Yourong looked at the looming thunderclouds with her beautiful eyes gradually turning up, and she couldn't help but rolling her eyes.
