Li Shi saw that the room was too dark, and faintly glimpsed the light smile on the corner of Jiang Chengjia's mouth, and a layer of goosebumps rose in his heart, so he got up on his own, took the fire fold placed next to the lamp, and lit a lamp for Jiang Chengjia.

"Now that you're awake, light another lamp, because it's too dark in the room and it hurts your eyes." She still maintains a gentle and lovely appearance, generous and humble, and is very kind and generous.

But Jiang Chengjia didn't eat her, and when she lit the lamp, she said with some disdain: "Sister, Sister Yushuang." It's all torn in the face... My sister is really generous, only the two of us can pretend at this time. ”

Li Xiangjun paused his hand to light the lamp, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he still had to pretend that nothing had happened on his face and said, "What is Ah Luo talking about?" Why don't I understand? ”

Jiang Chengjia looked at her coldly, hooked the corners of her lips and mocked: "Sister really can't understand human words?" ”

Lee's hand hidden in his sleeve unconsciously curled up into a fist.

"Sister, don't think I don't know what you've been doing in my hospital for the past two days." Jiang Chengjia raised his eyebrows, raised his chin, and looked at Li Xiangjun with a smile.

Li's face turned pale in an instant.

Jiang Chengjia still looked at her with a smile and a word.

Li Xiangjun slowly turned to look at her, looking at Jiang Chengjia's eyes that blended with mockery, laughter, and cold light, she suddenly felt a heavy force pressing her heart, making her almost out of breath.

She still held her face and refused to fully admit it, the corners of her mouth were raised hard, and she sat on the mat next to the couch. The candle that had just been lit on the opposite side was suddenly blown out by a cold wind, and the whole room fell into darkness again.

The faint lamp next to the bed shook the last candlelight, and Li, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth at this time: "Today, it turned out that it was all set up by you?" ”

She asked softly, her voice trembling slightly, I don't know if it was the embarrassment after the conspiracy was exposed, or the fear of the little girl in front of her who was not as old as her.

Jiang Chengjia raised his eyebrows lightly and remained silent.

"Jiang Chengjia, you are indeed amazing." Li sneered, lowered his eyes and said coldly.

"My sister has won the prize, if that day... I didn't notice anything unusual in the decoction in time, and I'm afraid I would have died in your hands. Jiang Chengjia said lightly at the corner of his lower lips, "You want to take advantage of the time when the prince is out and will not return for three days to get rid of me... I unknowingly poured safflower into my potion, and I guess I couldn't smell anything wrong with it... You want me to die from drugs. After his death, he blamed the people in my hospital for this matter, or Qianshan, Xiaocui, or Xiaoqi. Either way, the prince will be angry. Maybe all my henchmen in the North Court will be punished and expelled. You want to put me to death, only to see that I am safe and sound, and that I can be calm and unfazed, but I admire me very much. ”

Lee was silent.

The two were silent for a while.

Jiang Chengjia opened his mouth again: "The reason why you want to kill me is nothing more than that you want to be the mistress of this courtyard and want to get the prince." But can you be sure that if I really die at your hands, will the prince really protect you for the sake of your former affection, regardless of the anger of my brother and the anger of the Jiang family's protégés all over the world? ”

"The prince and I are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses. He believes in me, but not necessarily in you. Li Xiangjun sneered and said disdainfully, "What are you?" Jiang Chengjia, don't think that I don't know that you married into the Hou Mansion with a purpose. Don't think I don't know why you and Zhaoyuan had this marriage in the first place... It's not just his plan, it's half of your calculations. You are a scheming woman, and you are the sister of Jiang Chengyi, Your Majesty's confidant. Even the identity is not clear... How can Zhaoyuan believe that you don't believe me? I am the princess of Nanyang, and the widow of the great Sima Wei Cao, who has the power to mobilize the military of Xiapi and Nanyang, and the huge family property of the Wei family. For these reasons, Zhaoyuan will not fall out with me because of you.

And what do you have? Is a brother who has become the head of the East Mansion? Although Zhaoyuan wants to use you to hold your brother hostage, he will never let you be by his side and find out the news of the Huai Wangfu for your brother. You're just a pawn to him that can be discarded at any time. And he is the son of King Huai, no matter how bad he is, he has his father's support, why is he afraid of being an enemy of your brother? If your brother insists on finding an explanation and asking him to hand over the culprit, he will not do anything to me because of our old affection and the little military power in my hands, and he will take the place of others to prevaricate. The big deal is to completely tear his face with Jiang Chengyi.

How can your brother Yu Dawei be famous? Can you still raise troops to annihilate the Huai Wangfu for you? Eradicate the Marquis of Huaiyin? Now, the authority in the hands of King Huai is more and more firm, and he has already fallen out with His Majesty in the court, and the government and the opposition are fighting openly and secretly, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds are continuous. How much bloody rain have they experienced, are they still afraid of the upstart Jiang clan and their protégés? Do you still think the prince will kill me because of you? ”

After Jiang Chengjia heard what she said, she felt inexplicably sympathetic to the woman in front of her in her heart, and felt sorry for her ignorance, her hand on her knee tapped lightly, and said slowly: "Even though I am a pawn appointed by him." But this chess piece is obviously of great use to him... Destroyed by you, do you think that with the temperament of a prince and a prince, you can tolerate you for a lifetime? ”

These words stabbed into Li Xiangjun's heart like a sharp sword, making her tremble violently.

She knew that Ning Nan was ruthless, Jiang Nu's words were not false, she could hide for a while, but she might not be able to spend her life safely under Ning Nan You, so she made all the preparations this time, if the plan was successful, Ning Nan was suspicious of her, so she turned her hand and planted the blame on Zhou Yuanmo's head.

She knew that Zhou Yuanmo was very disgusted with Jiang Chengjia, and naturally felt that this person was a good candidate to take the blame for her. boundless

Li Xiangjun snorted coldly and retorted: "He can't tolerate me for a lifetime, let alone for you." ”

Jiang Chengjia lowered his eyelashes, trembled slightly, and a strange taste rose in his heart. Even though the Li family didn't know that there was a childhood bond between her and Ning Nanwei, there was a saying that made sense, if she really fell into the trap of the Li family, she would die here. Ning Nan Wei did not necessarily push the Li family out in order to avenge her. Now, he can be obedient and dependent on her in every way, except because of the childhood bond, I am afraid that there is no other affection.

She knew that Ning Nanwei did not completely let down her guard against her. Even if he might have had this thought, Lu Xun and Zhou Yuanmo, who stayed by his side, would not let him do so.

Although she told everything with Ning Nanwu, there were still many things that she couldn't say in her heart, and there were still many things that needed to be hidden from him, and she always had to take into account Jiang Chengyi's safety. Now that Emperor Wei relies on the Deng family, he still has doubts about his brother and cannot conspire with peace of mind. At the beginning, she was because she agreed to Emperor Wei and inquired about the news of the Huai Wangfu for him that she would successfully marry into the Hou Mansion. Now he has to rely on the letter he wrote to Jiang Chengyi to present every move of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion to Emperor Wei, so as to win the emperor's trust in the Jiang family and the Water Pavilion.

If in the future, what she covered up and concealed was known to Ning Nanwei, the consequences can be imagined.

Although Li Shi spoke arrogantly and ignorantly, her words also reminded Jiang Chengjia. These secrets she deliberately hidden, sooner or later, she will have to confess to Ning Nan in order to avoid future disasters.

Jiang Chengjia fell silent because of her last sentence.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and Ji Xianzhi's voice came through the crack in the wooden door: "Nujun, who is the thief who did misdeeds in the courtyard?" Do you want to bring her up? ”

"Who is it?" Jiang Chengjia asked.

Ji Xianzhi: "Ziwei, the female envoy of the outer steward of the North Courtyard." ”

Li Shi, who was sitting on the edge of the couch, stared at him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Chengjia glanced at her, slightly hooked the corners of her lips and said, "Bring it up, I have something to ask her." ”

Ji Xianzhi responded: "Huh." ”

After a while, two elite guards came to the door of the house with a desperately struggling maid. Ji Xianzhi pushed open the hidden wooden door, and the two soldiers pushed the captured maid in.

Ziwei was defenseless at her feet, so she was moved by the threshold, fell into the room, her hands were tied with thick hemp rope, she fell on the cold brick floor, looked up at the couch, and saw Jiang Chengjia sitting there upright, staring at her with a smile on her face. There was still Li sitting beside her, also looking at her.

The maid was frightened at once, and got up and knelt in the middle of the room, and bowed to the ground, not daring to gnaw.

"Ziwei?" Jiang Chengjia called softly.

When the maid heard the call, she couldn't help but shudder, couldn't bear the fear in her heart, and replied stubbornly: "The slave is here." ”

"Tell me, why did you poison my decoction, and who else in this courtyard is an accomplice with you?" Jiang Chengjia asked slowly, his voice was not loud but full of frost.

"Slave maid.... Slave..."Ziwei didn't know how to answer, at this moment she was sweating like rain, trembling all over, and her mind was in chaos.

She didn't know why Jiang Chengjia could survive, she obviously saw Qianshan running out of the room with blood on her hands. Jiang Chengjia should have died of blood, how could he....

At this moment, Li was sitting in front of her, which made her feel even more panicked.

"Say, if you don't say it, you won't be able to escape the blame." Jiang Chengjia persuaded peacefully.

Ziwei ignored the sweat dripping from her cheeks, remembered the conversation with Minghua, although she was flustered in her heart, she closed her eyes and was all smiling from her parents and brothers, so she swallowed her breath, gritted her teeth and said: "The slave maid was caused by Zhou Yuan's late Zhou Gongzi... The slave is the person of Zhou Gongzi... Ordered to... Remove the female monarch. ”

These words fell into Jiang Chengjia's ears, but they did not surprise her. On the contrary, as if she had expected it, she sat very calmly and asked, "Oh... Is it? Zhou Gongzi hates me like this? ”

Ziwei clenched her fists and stammered, "Slave... I don't know if Zhou Gongzi is the same as the female monarch.... The grudge between the slaves... It's just that... Just on orders. Slaves... No... If you don't have anything to justify, please deal with it directly! ”
