The queen is so good at teasing that she makes the abstinent prince tremble
Chapter 144 The Man Behind the Scenes (2)
This statement is clearly an excuse.
Prime Minister Jiang's face was immediately filled with embarrassment, but he was unwilling to give up and continued, "Tangxi, you are sisters after all, you should at least help me out."
Although the words were meant to be a plea, the tone carried an unquestionable sense of instruction.
After hearing this, Jiang Tangxi sneered in his heart.
She raised her chin slightly and retorted bluntly: "Huh, sisters? How did you treat me in the beginning? Now that you have something wrong, you think of me? I am not that kind-hearted. I am living well in Prince Yu's Mansion now, and I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."
Xiao Yuchen put his arm around Jiang Tangxi's shoulders, looked at Prime Minister Jiang with disdain, and said, "Prime Minister Jiang, don't you see what time it is? You're still disturbing the princess. She's pregnant and can't stand your torment."
Prime Minister Jiang's face turned pale and blue after being scolded by the couple, but he did not dare to get angry.
He could only suppress the anger in his heart and continued to speak in a softer tone: "Tangxi, please go back and see Jiayun. She really needs you now."
Jiang Tangxi snorted coldly and said, "Need me? I think you need me to help you solve your problems. I have my own life now, so don't bother me anymore."
After saying that, she took Xiao Yuchen's hand and turned to leave the main hall.
When Prime Minister Jiang saw this, he hurried forward to stop them and said, "Tangxi, you can't be so heartless. If you don't go back, what will happen to our Jiang family?"
Jiang Tangxi stopped and glared at Prime Minister Jiang fiercely, saying, "Your Jiang family's affairs have nothing to do with me. I am the Princess of Yu now, and I only care about the lives of the prince and me. You caused the troubles by yourselves, so you should solve them by yourselves."
Jiang Tangxi had just taken a few steps with Xiao Yuchen when they heard Prime Minister Jiang's exasperated voice coming from behind them.
"Don't you want to know who is behind Jiayun? Save her! Your father will tell you!"
Jiang Tangxi's footsteps paused instantly. She slowly turned around and looked at Prime Minister Jiang with astonishment and suspicion in her eyes.
This man, who was nominally her father, had always been extremely indifferent to her, but now he suddenly threw out such a bait.
A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she thought that this matter was becoming more and more interesting.
Jiang Tangxi narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Prime Minister Jiang closely, her gaze seemed to be able to penetrate his soul.
"Humph, now things are getting interesting!"
Prime Minister Jiang watched Jiang Tangxi's expression change and was secretly delighted, knowing that she had taken the bait.
He quickly said while the iron was hot: "As long as you can save Jiayun, your father will tell you everything I know without reservation."
Jiang Tangxi raised his head slightly and let out a crisp laugh, which was full of sarcasm.
"Okay, then I'll trust you for once. But listen to me, if you don't keep your promise, don't blame me for being ruthless. I... am not that easy to fool."
Prime Minister Jiang nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice.
"Of course, of course. I will never break my promise."
So, under Xiao Yuchen's escort, several people went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.
Jiang Tangxi and others rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as they stepped into the mansion, the familiar feeling of oppression came over them again.
The servants in the mansion were running around like headless flies, all of them looking terrified, as if a disaster was about to happen.
Accompanied by Xiao Yuchen, Jiang Tangxi hurried towards Jiang Jiayun's room.
Before entering the house, I heard faint crying sounds coming from inside. It was Jiang Jiayun's personal maid wiping her tears hypocritically.
Jiang Tangxi snorted coldly and quickened his pace.
As soon as I opened the door, a turbid smell mixed with a pungent smell of medicine hit me in the face.
Jiang Jiayun lay limply on the bed, her face as pale as the snow in the cold winter, beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down her forehead, and her hair was scattered messily on the pillow.
Her body twitched from time to time, and she mumbled incoherently in her sleep. The sound was eerie and strange.
Jiang Tangxi walked quickly to the bedside, looked down at Jiang Jiayun, with no emotion in his heart.
If it weren't for the important information she wanted to obtain from Prime Minister Jiang, she wouldn't have bothered to care about the life or death of her mortal enemy.
She reached out and touched Jiang Jiayun's forehead, and the scorching temperature seemed to burn her hands.
She frowned slightly, then quickly took out a box of silver needles from the medicine bag she carried with her.
"Hmph, you're lucky. Today I will be merciful and save you." Jiang Tangxi said sarcastically while skillfully selecting silver needles.
The maids beside them stood trembling with fear, not daring to make a sound.
"All of you get out of my way and don't get in the way here." Jiang Tangxi shouted harshly.
The maids quickly and obediently stepped aside, but their eyes were closely fixed on Jiang Tangxi's every move.
Jiang Tangxi took a deep breath, and then quickly inserted the silver needles into several key acupoints of Jiang Jiayun.
Her movements were lightning fast and precise, and each needle carried a fierce momentum.
As the silver needle penetrated, Jiang Jiayun's body trembled violently, as if it had received a huge impact.
Jiang Tangxi didn't care at all and continued to focus on the treatment. She knew that there was no need to have any sympathy for someone like Jiang Jiayun.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the room was so quiet that only the nervous breathing of everyone could be heard.
After a while, Jiang Tangxi gently turned the silver needle, and then gave another acupuncture point a needle.
After the injection, a strange blush appeared on Jiang Jiayun's face, and her talking in her sleep stopped abruptly.
"Hmph, it seems to be working a little." Jiang Tangxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
A maidservant nearby couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice: "The eldest lady's medical skills are truly amazing."
But she immediately realized her mistake and quickly covered her mouth.
Jiang Tangxi did not relax her vigilance because of this small change. She continued to concentrate on the treatment.
After a while, Jiang Jiayun's body began to calm down slowly, and the sweat on her forehead gradually decreased.
Finally, Jiang Tangxi let out a long sigh, and then gently pulled out the silver needles one by one.
"Okay, she won't die for the time being. But her body is still very weak and she needs good care." Jiang Tangxi said coldly.
When everyone heard this, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously.
Just then, Prime Minister Jiang walked in hurriedly.
He saw that Jiang Jiayun's condition had improved, and he finally felt relieved.
But he didn't show much gratitude on his face, he just said lightly: "Tangxi, I owe you a favor this time. Thank you as a father!"
Jiang Tangxi looked at him with contempt and said, "I saved her not for you, but for the information I wanted! Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise. Tell me, who is the person behind Jiang Jiayun?"
