Chapter 938 The Concubine's Flirting Glances Give Me Goosebumps
If Xiao Jingyi wants to get Leng Rongyue, then he has to find a way.
Therefore, Xiao Jingyi devoted all his attention to scheming how to win Leng Rongyue's heart, and naturally had no time to go into the inner quarters.
Finally, he hastily made up his mind to take advantage of Leng Rongyue and the Anguo Duke's family going to Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain to chant sutras and pray for blessings, to wipe out the entire Anguo Duke's family and kidnap Leng Rongyue.
However, Leng Rongyue was not kidnapped. She still chanted scriptures and prayed for blessings on Yunxiang Mountain with the Anguo Duke's family, and then went down the mountain together to return to the capital.
The Duke of Anguo's family was unharmed, but none of the dozens of assassins he had sent returned; they were nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead...
This isn't even the scariest or the most unsettling part.
What's even more frightening and unsettling is that the prestigious Duke's mansion was attacked by dozens of assassins in black while chanting sutras and praying for blessings at Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain. This must be an earth-shattering case!
Strangely, the Duke of Anguo's mansion did not pursue the matter, nor did the Emperor issue an edict to thoroughly investigate it...
This matter just... just like it never happened... just passed by!
It's fine if you don't think about it, but it's terrifying when you do!
In addition, there were many other incidents, including his father-in-law Zhang Jinyan offending the emperor in public in the imperial palace, which led to the emperor throwing him into the imperial prison in a fit of anger.
One wave subsides, and another rises.
Zhang Miaotong—my stupid sister-in-law, it's one thing for her to be arrogant and presumptuous on ordinary days, but she just didn't know how to restrain herself at this critical moment. She actually led a group of people to the gate of the Duke of Anguo's mansion and caused such a big commotion in front of the Duke of Anguo's mansion!
As a result, he was forced to divorce his principal wife, Zhang Miaoying, completely severing ties with the Second Minister's residence, and thus thoroughly offending Zhang Jinyan, who was imprisoned in the imperial jail.
The situation is getting increasingly out of control!
The current dilemma is that Zhang Jinyan's family must be eliminated.
But it's easier said than done.
Zhang Jinyan, along with his legal wife and two legitimate daughters, were also imprisoned in the imperial prison.
His concubines and servants, as well as his other concubines and servants, were sent to the Shuntian Prefecture by the Imperial Guards for imprisonment.
He can't possibly kill them both at the same time!
Wouldn't that be tantamount to openly telling the world that it was Xiao Jingyi who wanted to kill someone to silence them?
They had no choice but to target the prison for silencing witnesses.
But that place is the imperial prison!
At this time of year, how could it be so easy to get in and out, or so easy to succeed?
But if he didn't get rid of this family, he would be in danger!
With my mind so troubled, how could I possibly have the energy to get entangled with those annoying women in the inner quarters?
These despicable people not only couldn't help me, but they also shamelessly came up to curry favor and fawn over me. They were utterly clueless!
Xiao Jingyi stopped in his tracks, his face grim, looking at the woman he had "coincidentally" encountered on his usual route from the Buddhist hall to his study—Qin Shi…
Before Xiao Jingyi could speak, soft footsteps and a sweet, coquettish voice came from behind him...
"Your Highness, what a coincidence!"
"I am truly fortunate to have met Your Highness in the garden!"
Xiao Jingyi just stood there, without even turning his head.
As a breeze carrying the scent of cosmetics blew by, a woman with heavy makeup, adorned with jewels and fine clothes, appeared before him, accompanied by two maids.
"This humble servant greets Your Highness!"
She bowed awkwardly, rose gracefully, and as she looked up, she was met with a barrage of seductive glances...
Haha, it's true what they say, comparisons are odious!
Both are women, so why is it that when she sees Leng Rongyue, she only wants to obtain her at all costs and keep her by her side to cherish and pamper her?
Looking at these women, he had only one thought... to strangle them!
Xiao Jingyi looked at these pretentious and vulgar women and had no interest in paying them any attention. He was about to tell them to move aside and not block his way when he heard Qin Shi step forward and say, "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for many days. I am overjoyed to meet you here by chance!"
Xiao Jingyi scoffed inwardly upon hearing this...
A chance encounter?
Haha... What a coincidence!
You should be sending people to keep an eye on my every move!
Knowing that I went to the small Buddhist hall and was on my way back to my study, I would definitely pass by here, so I hid here and waited... Tch, fool!
Do you think I'm a fool like you?
"I am one of them!"
Not to be outdone, Ms. Yu quickly followed suit and spoke up.
"I have missed Your Highness very much since I last saw you."
I had originally planned to first go to the small Buddhist hall to pay my respects to the Dowager Consort, and then come to this garden for a stroll to clear my mind. I never expected to run into Your Highness by such a coincidence!
How has Your Highness been feeling these past few days?
Are you eating on time every day?
When it's time to go to bed at night... uh... who takes care of you when you go to bed at night?
Was the service adequate?
Your Highness, please take good care of yourself and don't worry me!
As she spoke, Yu's eyes seemed to overflow with deep affection, gazing at Xiao Jingyi with a tender and lingering look, as if silently expressing endless longing.
Xiao Jingyi...uh...
It was late autumn, and dusk was approaching. It was getting a bit chilly, and I got goosebumps all over.
At this moment, Xiao Jingyi was extremely grateful that he had lost his appetite these past few days, otherwise he might have vomited!
The two concubines stood before him, flirting with him as if in a competition...
