Chapter 1225 - 1225: Entering the General’s Residence Again

Translator: Lonelytree

After hearing Qin ‘er say that this soup was a recipe from Ni Lai Wo Wang Restaurant, Noble Consort Zhou and her son no longer had any doubts.

As soon as Qin ‘er left the Moon Palace, she ran back to her room and sat on her bed, drenched in a cold sweat.

“Qin ‘er, what’s wrong with you?” Qi ‘er had just returned from outside and saw Qin’ er r s absent-minded appearance. She immediately asked worriedly.

Qin ‘er was immediately shocked. Her face turned slightly pale as she shook her head and said,” Sister Qi, everything is fine!”

Sister Qi looked at Qin ‘er’s expression and wanted to ask more, but someone outside said that Granny Liu was looking for her. Sister Qi had no choice but to leave.

After Sister Qi left, Qin ‘er immediately took out the small porcelain bottle from under her pillow.

Although she didn’t know what medicine was in this small porcelain bottle, she remembered that her medicine had said that these medicines were to be put into the diet of Noble Consort Zhou and the Third Prince for three consecutive days and stop immediately for the next three days!

It had already been three days, which meant that there was no need to drug them for the next three days starting tomorrow.

On the other side

Ever since Yuwen Ling received the Emperor’s promise and received the ” love ” medicine from Wen Yujing, she immediately sent people to investigate Jiang Zhennan’s whereabouts.

In the end, they found out that Jiang Zhennan had been staying at the Nanyuan Manor and had not returned to the General’s Estate.

Yuwen Ling really didn’t have a good impression of the Nanyuan Manor.

Therefore, she was patiently waiting for Jiang Zhennan to return to the General’s Estate.

One day, the people who were keeping an eye on the General’s manor reported that Jiang Zhennan had returned.

Yuwen Ling immediately brought Xiao Tao and the others to the General’s Estate.

However, this time, she was still rejected outside the door.

Yuwen Ling immediately took out a token that the Emperor had given her.

She held up the token and stared sharply at the butler, who stopped her. She said arrogantly,” Butler Jiang, seeing the token is like seeing the emperor. Are you still going to stop me from entering the General’s Estate?”

Butler Jiang did not expect the Ninth Princess to be so willful. In order to enter the General’s Mansion, she even used the gold medal given by the Emperor.

In the end, Butler Jiang had no choice but to let her in.

Seeing the token was like seeing the emperor. Who would dare to stop the emperor at the door?

In fact, how could Yuwen Ling not know her own willfulness? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She only had three chances to use this gold medal, including saving her own life.

After using it this time, she would have one less chance.

However, if she didn’t use the gold medal, she wouldn’t be able to step into the General’s Estate.

If she couldn’t get into the general’s manor, she would have no chance at all.

After stepping into the general’s manor, Yuwen Ling immediately asked,”

Where’s the Great General?”

The butler replied with a headache,” Princess, the general is practicing martial arts in the backyard!”

Yuwen Ling immediately ran to the back garden after hearing that. Then, she saw Jiang Zhennan’s half-naked, lean figure. His skin was shining under the sun, and his facial features were handsome and fierce. Yuwen Lings heart immediately beat faster.

Just as she was in a daze, a sharp knife brushed past the root of her ear.

She immediately widened her eyes in fear. The terror in her eyes was very prominent. The color on her face instantly faded, and she took a few steps back. Then, she accidentally stepped on a small stone and immediately fell to the ground again.

Jiang Zhennan looked at the Ninth Princess with cold eyes. There was no sign of apology or comfort at all.

A moment later, he said coldly, without any sincerity,” I didn’t know that the

Ninth Princess had arrived. Please forgive me!”

Yuwen Ling lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to come back to his senses at all.

However, Xiao Tao, who was following her, reacted first. She was also so scared that her face turned pale.

She was so angry that she jumped to her feet. Her face was extremely livid as she pointed at Jiang Zhennan angrily and cursed,” General, how dare you point a knife at the princess? You’re trying to assassinate the princess!”

When the butler who followed behind heard this, he immediately said with a serious expression,” Miss Xiao Tao, you can’t say such things casually! As I

said just now, my Great General is practicing martial arts in the back garden. The Ninth Princess had barged in without waiting for this Servant to make the report. She had disturbed the General’s practice. It was inevitable!”

The butler almost jumped up and said, “You brought this on yourself.” Who told you to barge in without the general’s permission?

Although the butler knew that the general had deliberately frightened the ninth princess, he could not say that.

Xiao Tao’s face turned even angrier when she heard the butler’s words. She pointed at the butler and then at the general. She wanted to refute it, but she didn’t know how to.

It was indeed as the butler had said. They had barged in first. Even if they were frightened, they could not blame the general. It was their fault for disturbing the general’s martial arts practice.

However, Xiao Tao was furious. She said angrily,” General must have done it on purpose!”

“Miss Xiao Tao, please be careful with your words!” The butler shouted sternly.

If word got out, it would mean that the general was suspected of assassinating the royal princess. No matter how great the general’s contribution was, he would still be labeled as an assassin.

“But…” Xiao Tao didn’t believe that Jiang Zhennan didn’t do it on purpose.

“Xiao Tao, shut up!’

Just as Xiao Tao was about to say something, Yuwen Ling finally reacted from the shock.

“Princess!” Xiao Tao looked at the ninth princess with a wronged expression.

It was clearly Jiang Zhennan who did not know what was good for him, but the Ninth Princess was defending him.

With the help of the Ninth Princess’ servants, she stood up and said to Xiao Tao,” It was our fault.’

Then, when she looked at Jiang Zhennan, the shock from before was gone. Instead, her eyes were filled with affection. She unnaturally revealed the delicate appearance of a lady and said to Jiang Zhennan,” General, it’s my fault for trespassing into the back garden without prior notice. I apologize to you!’ As she spoke, she cupped her fists and apologized to Jiang Zhennan.

The Ninth Princess ‘servant was shocked.

They had followed the ninth princess since they were young. Other than His Majesty, when had the ninth princess ever apologized to anyone? Only others had apologized to the ninth princess and begged for mercy.

Jiang Zhennan was unmoved. He stared coldly at Yu Wenling and asked coldly,” Why is the Ninth Princess looking for me?”

When Yuwen Ling heard this, she frowned and said,” General, what are you saying? Can’t this princess come and find you for no reason?”

Then, she stared at Jiang Zhennan’s naked upper body with her bright eyes and said,” Father personally promised this princess that he was willing to betroth the two of us!”

Yuwen Ling lied to a certain degree.

Yuwen Longyan clearly said that if Jiang Zhennan agreed to marry her, he would bestow marriage upon them.

However, Yu Wenling, with her status, Jiang Zhennan would agree to marry her sooner or later.

Therefore, she did not lie in her mind.

When Jiang Zhennan heard this, his sharp eyes glared fiercely at Yu Wenling..

He spat out a few words coldly and said with certainty,” Impossible!”
