“Crown Prince, you should know that my parents dote on me. If anything happens to me, even if it means overturning the entire East Palace, they will find me.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone find you.”
“What do you mean?”
“What I mean is, if you don’t want to turn into a corpse buried in the back garden.” Li Jixian gently lifted Jiang Ning’s chin, admiring her face closely, “Beautiful, truly beautiful.”
Jiang Ning sat motionless, only looking coldly at him.
Li Jixian took back his hand and sat down at the table, pouring himself a cup of tea, and continued, “Such beauty, if turned into flower fertilizer in the garden, devoured by insects underground, I can’t bear to see.”
Jiang Ning felt a shiver in her heart.
“What do you want?”
“Although you’ve made quite an impact on the reputation of the East Palace lately, making the Princess Consort the talk of people’s leisure time, it doesn’t matter, I don’t care about such small things.”
Li Jixian picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly while looking at her, “Jiang Ning, be my woman.”
Jiang Ning: “You’re dreaming.”
Li Jixian laughed: “Why not?”
“If you’ve forgotten, let me remind you that I am the Princess Consort of Yu.”
“What about it? The Prince of Yu is already in his current state, do you still have any hopes for him? You are still young, with such a flower-like age, possessing such beauty, could you be willing to spend the rest of your life in the cage of Prince Yu’s mansion and keep living a widow’s life?”
Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, and sighed softly: “Even if I’m not content, what can I do? I have a family and children. Even for their sake, I have to behave properly and not do anything out of line.”
As Li Jixian heard her words, it seemed that she had softened her tone, and his heart noted the additional leverage and said: “Don’t worry, I will never let anyone know about this and damage your reputation.”
Jiang Ning raised her eyebrows: “So you mean, let me sneak around with you?”
“Don’t worry, this is only temporary. After all, we still have to be somewhat cautious at the moment. But when that day comes…”
“Which day?”
“When I’ve taken that position.” Li Jixian raised his chin, “At that time, no one will be able to restrain me.”
He suddenly walked in front of Jiang Ning, his hands on her shoulders, his eyes slightly crazed: “By then, I’ll be able to give you a proper identity openly. Whatever you want, I’ll give you.”
“What if I want to be the Empress?”
“Then you’ll be the Empress!” Li Jixian’s eyes were terrifyingly bright, and he reached out to pinch Jiang Ning’s chin, “Only a beauty like yours is worthy of being my Empress.”
“Then what about Ms. Ma?”
“Her? An old, ugly, and stupid wretch, what makes her fit to be my Empress?”
At this point in the conversation, he seemed to have already assumed the identity of the Emperor, using the word “I” in every sentence.
Jiang Ning only wished she had a recording pen to capture these seditious words and play them back to the Emperor.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened.
Princess Consort Ma stood at the door, her face full of rage: “My lord, what did you just say? Even if I’m no longer young and beautiful, I’ve given you four daughters and a son. Why am I not fit to be Empress?”
Li Jixian furrowed his brows and glanced at Jiang Ning, a cold smile playing on the corner of his lips.
So this woman had known all along that Ms. Ma was outside, and had deliberately drawn him into saying those words to infuriate Ms. Ma.
How clever of her…
“What I just said was a joke, why take it seriously?” Li Jixian said indifferently, “Do you really think I’m so stupid that I’d depose you and support the Prince of Yu’s woman to be Empress?”
