Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 239 1Everything will be fine

The Duke of Jingguo.

Mrs. Yang took medicine every day, but her health never improved.

His condition even got worse and worse, and he felt listless all day long, just because of that glimmer of hope that Jiang Li mentioned.

Rather than saying it is hope, it is better to say that you are deceiving yourself.

After Shen Zhiyan helped Yang drink the medicine, she placed the medicine bowl on the small table beside the couch, lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Known daughter Moruomu.

Looking at Shen Zhiyan's slightly furrowed brows, Yang knew that she had something on her mind.

"Yan'er, just say whatever you want to say." Yang said softly.

Shen Zhiyan raised her head slightly, her eyes flickering.

My heart was like a mixture of mixed feelings, my thoughts were struggling inside me, but I kept overturning my decisions.

"Mother, I want to save her."

She finally mustered up the courage to speak.

Yang held a corner of the quilt, she actually guessed it.

It's not that she looks down on her daughter.

But Shen Zhiyan was brought up in a pampered manner by her since she was young, and she rarely saw the secret methods used in the backyard. How could she have the ability to rescue Jiang Li from the palace?

"Mother doesn't mean to stop you," Yang sighed helplessly, "but if you go, you will undoubtedly seek your own death."

A bitter smile appeared on Shen Zhiyan's lips. "Mother, to be honest, my daughter and A'li are sisters. Since we are sisters, we should share the good and the bad. How can you push her out of the door at this time and ask us to protect ourselves?"

"In the past, she was just the adopted daughter of the Shen family. Now even her name has been erased from the family tree. She has no connection with the Shen family anymore."

Shen Zhiyan bit her lower lip and continued in a low voice, "I feel really bad about letting her die for the Shen family."

Yang had mixed feelings.

In fact, after Shen Beiqi and before Shen Zhiyan, she had a daughter.

It was a pity that the child was born with congenital defects. He cried weakly twice when he was born and then died.

Yang was grieved for several years, until Shen Zhiyan was born, when she poured all her regrets about her previous daughter onto Shen Zhiyan.

It is precisely because of this that she has a simple and kind character.

Now, she has grown up.

The bird will eventually leave the nest and fly alone in the blue sky.

"Okay, go ahead and do whatever you want to do. Don't worry about mother."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyan looked at Yang in surprise, shocked by her agreement, "Mother actually agreed to let me go?"

"To be honest, mother doesn't agree with your idea." Yang smiled slightly, "But you are right. This is the disaster of the Shen family. Li'er shouldn't bear it alone."

......

Jiang Li was dizzy from fever.

Sometimes my body is so cold that I shiver, and sometimes I am so hot that I sweat profusely.

The palace maid had changed her clothes and carefully applied medicine to the wounds on her body.

Her eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds. She could hear footsteps coming and going, and smell the strong smell of medicine in the house.

But it's like being trapped in a nightmare and unable to wake up.

I don't know who gently took her into his arms.

He picked her up gently and carefully.

It's like protecting a rare treasure.

She vaguely recalled that year, she and Shen Zhiyan were infected with the epidemic one after another.

When Shen Zhiyan fell ill, she just felt her head a little heavy and didn't take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, she fainted as soon as she returned to Qinghui Courtyard. Before she lost consciousness, she heard the cries of Ziyuan and Xingping.

When she woke up again, she was in his arms.

She opened her eyes and saw the boy's beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with deep concern that she had not seen for a long, long time.

Like a hot spring with wisps of hot steam, it can easily make one's heart soften.

It seemed that from that night on, she began to become dependent on him, a little too dependent.

"Brother--" she called softly subconsciously.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the arm around her suddenly stiffen.

Luo Cheng pursed his lips and slowly brought the medicine bowl close to her lips. "Drink the medicine. Hold on for another two days and everything will be fine."

Hearing Luo Cheng's voice, his scattered consciousness gradually gathered.

She raised her heavy eyelids with difficulty, glanced at Luo Cheng, and stretched out her hand, "I can do it myself."

Luo Cheng dodged her hand and said, "It's already like this, so don't try to show off."

"Thank you." Jiang Li compromised.

She took Luo Cheng's hand and drank the medicine without leaving a gulp.

It’s strange to say, but she used to be afraid of taking medicine, always feeling that the bitter taste made her dizzy.

Perhaps it’s because I’ve always lived a good life that I feel the medicine tastes bitter.

Now, even if she said it was bitter, he was not around and could not give her a candied fruit.

Luo Cheng put her back on the couch, took out a grape-shaped porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and held it tightly in his palm, "Are you sure, this is a fake death drug?"

Jiang Li glanced at the medicine bottle in his hand, nodded slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Sure."

Miao Yu said that this is a fake death drug.

It's just that it was a failed fake death drug.

After taking it, you will still enter a state of suspended animation and wake up after seven days.

After waking up, you will still die.

As for how long she could live, Miao Yu couldn't say for sure. She said maybe one or two years, or maybe three or five years.

Luo Cheng stuffed the medicine bottle into her hand and said, "Actually, you probably won't be able to use this medicine."

Jiang Li looked at him puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

"Tomorrow morning, I will let Xiao Wenyuan take you out of the palace," Luo Yan said.

Xiao Wenyuan would take her out of the palace? Jiang Li was a little unconvinced.

"Why did he take me out of the palace?" Jiang Li asked, "Isn't he the prince's man?"

"I can only tell you that there is a change in the palace. You just need to wait patiently, and you will get what you want."

Luo Cheng stared at her for a long time, his fingers hanging on his knees slightly curled up.

Something in my heart seemed to be slowly cracking.

Once this matter is accomplished, Duke Jingguo's position in Southern Wu will be unshakable.

By then, she will also become Shen Beiqi's wife, right?

But what about him?

Even if he had made great contributions to Conglong, he would never have the chance to renew his relationship with Jiang Li in this life.

Jiang Li said calmly, "To be honest, I can't believe Xiao Wenyuan now. Besides, is he really the prince's man? He is a prince who was born in the clouds, why would he work for the prince?"

"Prince Rui has no real power in the court. Xiao Wenyuan also has ambitions, but it is difficult to display them. That's why he chose the path of the crown prince."

Luo Cheng tucked the quilt for her and continued, "Actually, I can understand that feeling."

"I used to be as insignificant as a blade of grass, so I didn't even have the qualifications to say I didn't want to."

It was precisely because of this that I missed her by accident.

Once you miss it, it will last a lifetime.

Jiang Li understood the hidden meaning in his words, and so did she.

What right does she have to say she doesn't want to?

That's why she had no choice but to marry the third prince as a concubine.

Under the pressure of imperial power, they are so insignificant, like the strings of a musical instrument, and cannot escape the fate of being plucked by others.

Luo Yan stood up and said, "You sleep a little longer. I will come to pick you up when the time comes."
