Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous

Chapter 69: The battle begins, no one should run away

Sometimes Zhao Youqing couldn’t understand Ji Zhen, like now.

Ji Zhen brought Ye Hui back to the Prince's Mansion. It was already dawn. She pulled Lu Ziyan out from under the bed and pushed him in front of Ye Hui. She took a lantern, shone it on his face and asked:

"Do you know this person?"

Ye Hui took a serious look, shook her head and said:

"The person who came to see me was masked, so I couldn't recognize her face, but she should be a woman. We only agreed on a secret code, so I don't know who came to test the medicine."

"What's the secret code?"

Ji Zhen turned around and took off the handkerchief that was gagged on Lu Ziyan's mouth, and said to him with a fake smile:

"You tell me."

Lu Ziyan had been stuffed under the bed for several hours and was almost fainting. Just when he was in a trance, Ji Zhen suddenly pulled him out and asked him to say a secret code, which was really difficult.

He moved his cracked lips, but his throat was hoarse and he couldn't make a sound. Seeing that he looked like he was dying, Ji Zhen asked Zhao Youqing to pour him a glass of water. Then he untied the ropes that bound Lu Ziyan and threw him onto the couch.

Lu Ziyan had been tied up for quite some time, and his hands were weak. He finally managed to sit up, but his hands, which had been shaking for a long time, could not even hold a teacup. Ji Zhen walked forward with a look of disgust, picked up the teacup and fed it to his lips, frowning and saying:

"How squeamish."

Lu Ziyan was so weak that he could barely see anyone. He had no idea how many people were standing in his room. He could only tell by the sound of their voices that the person in front of him was Ji Zhen.

He barely raised his head, staring at Ji Zhen with unfocused eyes, but she slapped him on the head with a light slap and scolded him softly:

"See if I can quench your thirst? Drink some water! I have something to ask you."

Lu Ziyan's already dizzy head was hit by Ji Zhen's slap and he saw stars. He drooped down weakly, took a few sips of water from her hand, and then half leaned on Ji Zhen's body, panting heavily and saying intermittently:

"You, vicious woman."

The voice was very low, and only Ji Zhen, who was standing next to Lu Ziyan, could hear it. She raised her eyebrows and sneered:

"Your strength said I was fierce later. It seems that you have recovered. Can you answer my question?"

However, Lu Ziyan seemed to be irritated by Ji Zhen. He glared at her weakly, then swayed and fell into her arms.

Zhao Youqing, who was standing nearby, saw this scene, took two steps over, and grabbed Lu Ziyan. He took a large soft pillow, put it beside him, let him lean between the armrest of the couch and the wall, and said to Ji Zhen calmly:

"Let me do it." Zhao Youqing took the water cup from Ji Zhen's hand.

"Ah."

Ji Zhen gave up his seat, walked to the door, and instructed the servant guarding the door:

"Go to my yard, get the Jade Dew Cream, and check on Yunzi."

Jade Dew Paste is a sacred product that Ji Zhen brought from the northwest to Beijing. It is a great supplement for vitality. Even if a person is dying and is about to be taken away by the King of Hell, eating a little can help him survive for another hour or two.

Ji Zhen jokingly called this thing the King of Hell's Teasing Cream. She brought it with her just in case of an emergency, but she didn't expect to use it today.

The attendant quickly brought the Jade Dew Cream and also brought news about Yunzi.

"Your Highness, Master Yun is still asleep."

"Well, go and keep watch outside. If Ye Feng comes back, let me know."

Ji Zhen brought a jade bowl, scooped out a small half spoonful of jade dew paste, mixed it with water, and asked Zhao Youqing to feed it to Lu Ziyan.

The Jade Dew Paste melts in water, and is colorless and tasteless, leaving only a faint fragrance. After Lu Ziyan drank it, his complexion improved visibly.

Ye Hui was very curious about this. She came close to Ji Zhen, stared at the jade dew cream on the table and asked:

"Uncle Junior, what is this treasure? Why is it so miraculous? It will be good if I eat it? Can you show it to me, Junior Uncle?"

It would have been fine if she didn't ask. As soon as she asked, Ji Zhen immediately put the Jade Dew Cream in her arms, looked at her warily and said:

"Don't even think about taking the test sample from me. Jade Dew Paste is extremely difficult to make and cannot be circulated in the market."

"why?"

Ye Hui really didn't understand Ji Zhen's idea, but Ji Zhen turned his gaze to Lu Ziyan, sighed, and said:

"If something that can help you snatch people away from the King of Hell were to be circulated in the market, would anyone still fear death? Once people have no scruples in their hearts, they will do whatever they want without any taboos."

"Just like the worries every year," Ye Hui murmured.

"Well, it's like worrying about the years."

Ji Zhen opened the window. It was getting light outside, and the dawn light gradually illuminated the sky. Her heart also became brighter. She let out a breath, turned around, and walked to Lu Ziyan's side.

At this time, Lu Ziyan was no longer panting, and her face was no longer red. She sat upright on the couch with her back straight, and behaved like a princess again.

Seeing Ji Zhen coming over, he raised his eyes and quickly glanced at her and Ye Hui who was following behind her. His eyelashes trembled, and then drooped calmly.

"Okay, Master Lu. Since you've taken my Jade Dew Cream, you should tell me the truth."

Ji Zhen stood in front of Lu Ziyan, looking down at him with a cold gaze. But Lu Ziyan turned his head slightly, looked away, and said:

"I don't understand what His Highness Qingyan is saying."

"Can't understand?"

Ji Zhen snorted coldly and waved to Ye Hui behind him. Ye Hui immediately understood and opened the medicine box containing 22 antidotes in front of Lu Ziyan.

The faint fragrance of Zi Ting immediately spread out. Lu Ziyan's pupils suddenly shrank. He slowly turned his head and stared at the box of pills with a pale face.

Ji Zhen looked at Lu Ziyan's suddenly changed expression and immediately determined that he was the person sent by Li Yuanzhen to test the medicine. So she held up the medicine box in front of him, turned it around under his nose, and then closed the medicine box with a snap.

"Everything you want is in my hands now, including the people who make the medicine. Think about it carefully. Do you want to say it yourself, or should I ask the princess to come and say it on your behalf?"

Lu Ziyan's eyes had never been so dark before, his heart was beating fast, and his breathing was rapid. After a moment, he suddenly clenched his hands tightly, finally made a decision, stared at Ji Zhen, and spat out eight words from between his teeth.

"If you want to succeed, you must first fail."

Ji Zhen raised her eyebrows and looked back at Ye Hui, asking her for confirmation. Ye Hui nodded solemnly. She had never expected that the person who came to test the medicine on her was actually the husband of Princess Li Yuanzhen. She could not help but feel a little scared from the bottom of her heart.

If Ji Zhen hadn't come today, she would have tried the medicine on the prince's son, and no matter what the result was, she probably wouldn't have survived.

At this moment, Ji Zhen knocked on the medicine box twice and chuckled:

"Very good. Master Lu, I like your honesty."

Zhao Youqing immediately glanced at Ji Zhen, and Ji Zhen lazily said to the person outside the door:

"Someone, take Master Lu down for me."
