Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 126 Part 3: Broke Free

Jiang Li always had her own views when doing things, Ye Ming Yu was also afraid that he would be rash and would instead mess up Jiang Li’s plan.

After the two people left, Cheng Wang squinted his eyes and sized Jiang Li. His gaze held quite a deep meaning.

The words Jiang Li said to Ye Ming Yu to reassure him were actually also said to him. This place was just a few steps away from the throne room, with many people coming and going, and he definitely would not be able to do anything to Jiang Li. She was quite accurate, had such a big courage, and dared to speak to him alone.

“Miss Jiang second is so courageous,” Cheng Wang said, “Chief assistant Jiang is always steady, it’s unexpected that his daughter was rather brave. This king admires.”

Jiang Li smiled slightly, “His Royal Highness praises.”

She actually accepted it calmly.

Cheng Wang was stunned before breaking into laughter. He said, “Miss Jiang second always surprises people, don’t know why it’s always so clear in your mind. Could you be truly certain that this matter today would implicate Yongning, so you are this sure?”

Jiang Li raised her head abruptly, stared at Cheng Wang, and her heart sank slightly.

Cheng Wang had his own influence in the palace, Jiang Li was aware of this from early on. After all, it was impossible for a person who was eyeing that position not to place his chess pieces everywhere. However, the memorial written by her should be covert. Now that Cheng Wang knew about it, it was clear that there was a spy beside Emperor Hong Xiao. Furthermore, he was able to get access to this kind of concealed thing. Then the person must be a close person beside Emperor Hong Xiao.

“What is Miss Jiang second thinking about? Are you thinking how this king knows?” Cheng Wang took a step closer, suddenly lowered his voice and said viciously, “There’s nothing in this world that this king is not aware of. It’s too naive for second miss thinking of using underhanded methods right under this king’s eyes. Your father does not dare to do this, you, a yellow-haired girl*, actually have such great courage.”

When he was not smiling, the gloom on his face was exposed, it was truly scary. If Jiang Li was the genuine Miss Jiang second, or perhaps another young lady that was here, they would definitely be scared witless by Cheng Wang. But it happened to be Jiang Li, and she even had a measure in her mind; although Cheng Wang had quite a considerable influence, his temperament was like his mother concubine Liu taifei, really did not know how to exercise restraint, way too rampant, with a proud nature. It’s hard to avoid suffering in the future. In terms of working out a strategy, he was not as good as Emperor Hong Xiao who had a weaker influence.

Seeing that Jiang Li did not show panic as he was expecting, Cheng Wang became even more annoyed. He said, “Miss Jiang second has big guts, but it’s unknown until when this guts can be maintained. You have obviously offended this king, even your father cannot protect you!”

“His Royal Highness Cheng Wang.” At this moment, a person’s voice suddenly sounded not too far away.

Jiang Li and Cheng Wang simultaneously looked at the source of the voice and saw a young man walking quickly towards them. He saluted Cheng Wang respectfully, “This lower official has met His Royal Highness Cheng Wang.”

Jiang Li was stunned. This person was no one else but Ye Shijie.

Now Ye Shijie was the newly appointed official in the Ministry of Revenue. He was appointed by the emperor himself, was related to the chief assistant’s Jiang family by marriage; in addition, he was a person with ability and he actually did a good job. Among the new talents, everyone was willing to give him face and emperor Hong Xiao also appreciated him.

Jiang Li frowned slightly. She never thought that Ye Shijie would stand up at this time. Ye Shijie had just entered the officialdom; if Cheng Wang made things difficult for him because of this, that would be terrible. After all, she was a female; if Cheng Wang wanted to catch her handle, he could only start from the inner residence and by being attentive, Jiang Li could still cope with it. However, Ye Shijie was still a young and tender official, how could he compare with those experienced old people? Cheng Wang’s subordinates only needed to deliberately make it a bit harder in official business. At that time, it was possible for Ye Shijie to inexplicably stumble.

This young man was good, but he was still immature. In the end, there’s still a bit of impulsiveness, like the previous Xue Zhao.

“Oh? Help is here.” Cheng Wang looked at Jiang Li, then looked at Ye Shijie. He said, “Miss Jiang second and your cousin seem to have a very good relationship. Official Ye,” his gloomy eyes were locked on Ye Shijie, “if you were a bit more clever, you wouldn’t have jumped so hastily like this. What a pity,” He appeared very regretful as he said, “ You are someone whose ability could be sharpened, this king feels really reluctant.”

When these words came out, Jiang Li’s heart tightened. Cheng Wang was evidently staring at Ye Shijie!

Regardless of what he was thinking, Ye Shijie still showed the same respectful attitude as before. He said, “His Royal Highness laughs, able to be lifted by His Royal Highness is this lower official’s blessing.”

Despite his young age, he was no longer the angry person who would fight with others endlessly on the street over a painting. When facing provocation, he knew how to avoid the spearhead and feigned foolishness.

Cheng Wang was not angry and laughed insead. He said, “The two of you actually do not fear this king. This king will definitely make you regret…..”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by an easy and smiling voice. Someone’s voice floated from the back garden, carrying carelessness, laziness, and a bit of a smile, “Yo, isn’t this Cheng Wang?”

Another person came.

Jiang Li was overjoyed upon hearing this voice. She lifted her eyes to see a person like a touch of red in the world of ice and snow. In the deep palace with heavy walls, his splendor was not diminished at all.

His bright clothes attracted the eyes, his appearance took the souls away. Beside him, a bodyguard held an umbrella for him and snowflakes could not reach his body. His voice was low and husky, tempting and mellow, with a kind of enjoyment watching other people’s misfortune. He said, “In the early morning, what’s the noise about?” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

It was Duke Su, Ji Heng.

Cheng Wang was also stunned. Only after a long time did he greet Ji Heng, “Duke Su.”

According to propriety, Ji Heng should also salute him. However, Ji Heng never saluted him and Cheng Wang did not dare to force him. In Cheng Wang’s heart, his fear of Ji Heng far exceeded that towards Emperor Hong Xiao. He once wanted to pull Ji Heng into his side in spite of everything, but was defeated. However, Ji Heng also did not participate in Emperor Hong Xiao and the Jiang family’s faction. Precisely because he maintained his neutral stance all along, Cheng Wang was extremely on guard against him, but also would not proactively make a move on him.

He was not willing to look for unexpected trouble for himself.

“From faraway heard something about dead and alive; why, is someone about to meet with misfortune?” Both his hands were tucked inside his sleeve, uncaring written all over his face as he asked with a smile.

Jiang Li gave him a courtesy and said, “It’s this female subject and the older cousin who provoked His Royal Highness Cheng Wang’s anger, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is right to be angry.”

At this time, both Cheng Wang and Ye Shijie looked at Jiang Li.

What’s going on? Jiang Li unexpectedly sowed dissension in front of Cheng Wang? And who is the target, it’s Ji Heng! That’s the Duke Su who watches play from the sidelines. The meaning in her words was actually difficult to perceive, softly accusing, as if Ji Heng was an elder that came to mediate and was able to give fairness for Jiang Li.

Is she insane?

Cheng Wang spoke coldly, “Miss Jiang second has quite the ability to evade, afraid you did not just annoy this king, but have offended this king. There’s no one in this world who has a good end after offending this king.”

He did not restrain himself despite Ji Heng’s presence. No matter how temperamental Ji Heng was, he would not dare to do anything to a prince. He said this in front of Ji Heng as if he wanted to probe Ji Heng’s reaction, wanting to see the relationship between Ji Heng and Jiang Li.

Ji Heng’s beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, the corner of his lips raised in a slight smile. He downplayed the situation and said, “Children do not understand anything. Why should Cheng Wang fuss over minor matters? Just let it pass.”

He’s actually……. persuaded?

Both Ye Shijie and Cheng Wang stared at Ji Heng with disbelief. Ji Heng apologized without the slightest regret, truly stating his stance clearly, he was defending Jiang Li!

Jiang Li also opened her eyes wide. She had deliberately pulled Ji Heng in, thinking of using Ji Heng’s arrival to restrain Cheng Wang. But she never thought that Ji Heng would speak for her in front of Cheng Wang!

This person used to act according to the conditions. Even if coming into contact with the occasional truth and feelings, he just gave a fleeting glance. Once the moonlight passed and the day broke, each would carry their own disguise.

But he was actually honest this time.
