Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Jiang Jiu drank another glass of wine and sighed softly.

"You have the will but not the courage. Why not let me help you?"

Lu Yunyang pondered for a long time, then suddenly asked, "What do you want?"

He has figured it out and is finally going to rebel.

Yes, there are people who kill thieves thousands of miles away, and there are people who guard against thieves thousands of miles away. The best defense is to take the initiative to attack.

Jiang Jiu smiled happily this time, leaned forward, and lifted Lu Yunyang's chin with his slender fingers: "I want you."

Lu Yunyang narrowed his eyes slightly, grabbed Jiang Jiu's hand, his peach blossom eyes blurred.

"Help me become emperor, and you become empress."

Jiang Jiu was satisfied this time. He broke free from Lu Yunyang's claws and pushed him away.

"Think carefully, I told you that if you want to be my husband, you can't have other women. Otherwise, I will only be widowed, not divorced."

Lu Yunyang took a deep breath: "As long as you are willing, my heart, Zhao Zhuoxi, will only have you."

Jiang Jiu smiled faintly, raised his glass, and clinked it lightly with Lu Yunyang.

"make a deal."

When the news of Princess Qiyang's assassination reached the capital, Zhao Zhuoxi received an urgent imperial edict from the capital, which was sent 800 miles away. (Lu Yunyang changed his name back to Zhao Zhuoxi, and will be used in the following text.)

Let him take Qi Yang's body and return to Beijing immediately.

But there is no mention of the murderer throughout the article.

Both Zhao Zhuoxi and Jiang Jiu knew in their hearts that the emperor really regarded him as the murderer.

As a person who has been sick for a long time and is weak and delicate, Zhao Zhuoxi was not in a hurry to return to Beijing.

Instead, he had a luxurious carriage prepared, almost emptied the palace, and had all the guards and maids follow.

He said that the further they got to the capital, the colder it got, and he was too weak to bear it, so he asked the carriage to go slower, to keep warm on the road, and to eat better food along the way.

It took a full month just to prepare all this, and by the time we actually set off, it was the end of November.

In fact, Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi had already left Su City in an ordinary carriage.

Jiang Jiu did not bring many people with her when she went to Beijing this time. She left Ye Gucheng in Sucheng to help her take care of the business. Xiao Yimo and Chu Yu each had their own things to do, so they only brought Zhao Li, Nanny Qian, and the maid Xia Zhi.

Zhao Zhuoxi didn't bring many people with him, only Lu Ming and Nishang. Lu Ming's brother Lu An was sent to the military camp to continue recruiting soldiers.

Gu Chengyan stayed in the palace and was responsible for various business matters.

The two of them disguised themselves as an ordinary businessman couple and went to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with their family at the end of the year.

There were seven people in the group, with six horse-drawn carriages, three of which were carrying people and three were carrying goods. Apart from the coachmen, only Zhao Li and Lu Ming were holding swords and riding horses.

Compared with the King of Qi's carriage, it is ordinary and common.

However, Jiang Jiu found an acquaintance among the six drivers.

"Master Yiyun, you are not dead..."

There's no way around it. Being too handsome isn't a good thing. Even if you're wearing tattered clothes, you'll still look different.

Master Yiyun quickly knelt on one knee to apologize to Zhao Zhuoxi, but Zhao Zhuoxi waved his hand.

"Don't worry about it. She's just teasing you. She figured out you're mine a long time ago."

Indeed, the six coachmen were all Zhao Zhuoxi's men.

Jiang Jiu jumped onto the carriage. After their identities were exposed, neither of them pretended anymore. She leaned on the soft couch, even more lazy than Zhao Zhuoxi.

"You have a lot of aliases. Is Cangjiu yours too? You're collecting all sorts of information on court officials. Besides Miss Nishang's Hua Manlou, there's also Cangjiu. Surfaced as a killer organization, they're actually looking up information for you and doing all sorts of shady things."

Zhao Zhuoxi was cracking melon seeds and drinking tea while listening to Jiang Jiu's story.

This girl is really smart. Nichang has been following him for more than ten years and she didn't know anything about the vicissitudes of life.

Jiang Jiu guessed it right away. I don’t know what’s wrong with her brain.

"How did you guess that?" Lu Yunyang wanted to know his flaws so that he wouldn't tell the emperor about it in the capital.

Jiang Jiu spread his hands and said, "Make bold guesses and carefully verify them. Back then, you were just a playboy of the Lu family. How could you suddenly become the Ninth Prince, the King of Qi? Nothing is impossible."

"It's quite remarkable that the Prince of Qi was able to escape from the dangerous palace at such a young age. Now that he's in Su City, it's his own fiefdom. If he doesn't do something, will the Emperor and Empress eat him up?"

Zhao Zhuoxi is not someone who will sit and wait for death.

Besides, a person who sits and waits for death will not live that long.

Besides, isn’t that how it’s written in novels: hidden agents, spies, top-notch masters.

The talented scholar of Langya is surrounded by such people.

Jiang Jiu was just guessing according to the routine. She happened to have such people under her command. She would know the truth after verifying it later.

Zhao Zhuoxi had no idea how she knew that. He added a piece of charcoal to the stove and stuffed it into Jiang Jiu's arms.

"What are your plans when you get to the capital?"

When talking about the capital, Jiang Jiu's mood was not so good.

"Jiang Mingyue used my identity, and I used hers. She'd better deal with it. And after using her identity, I won't have to enter the Chang family."

I don’t have to go to the Chang family, which saves me a lot of trouble.

"Once I have found out where my mother is and who killed her, my mission will be complete. As for the rest, I have so many businesses in the capital that I need to inspect and take over. I will be very busy."

Jiang Jiu’s meaning shouldn’t be too obvious.

You are the ninth prince, you should handle your own affairs. I am very busy, so don't bother me.

Zhao Zhuoxi heard it clearly and was so angry that his chest hurt.

Okay, okay, let’s play this, right?

When he arrived in the capital, he was the ninth prince.

By then, Jiang Jiu, a little girl, will not be able to escape from his palm.

"Okay, you're busy, you're busy, but don't forget, you are my concubine."

Jiang Jiu smiled, and smiled happily.

"Your concubine? My current name is Jiang Mingyue, the daughter of County Magistrate Jiang. My late husband, Chang Zhili, is here. When we get to the capital, you must call me Madam Chang."

Zhao Zhuoxi actually forgot about this matter.

He patted his forehead and said, "Okay, you can pretend to be a widow. I will ask for your permission to marry you, a widow."

The two started bickering as soon as they got in the car. Jiang Jiu lifted the curtain and saw that they had just left Su City.

I remember when I was a child, I had to take a very long boat ride, and it took three or four days to get to Suzhou. Now if I want to go to Beijing, I am afraid it will take three or four days to reach the Grand Canal.

After arriving at the Grand Canal, we took another boat ride, and it took a long time to reach the capital.

Jiang Jiu decided to live in peace with Zhao Zhuoxi. After all, he was the ninth prince, and if anything really happened in the capital, he would have to take care of it.

"Okay, but I'm just kidding. We've already signed a contract. No matter when and where, I'll always be your partner. We'll have a pleasant cooperation."

Jiang Jiu stretched out his soft little hand towards Zhao Zhuoxi.

Zhao Zhuoxi narrowed his eyes slightly: "What tricks are you thinking of now?"

Jiang Jiu smiled. As expected, her little thoughts could not be hidden from Zhao Zhuoxi.

"Nothing, let's stay at the Yuelai Inn in Sui County tonight."

Zhao Zhuoxi raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

Jiang Jiu's mind flashed back to her childhood. She and Nanny Qian had escaped from the capital with great difficulty. They met some kind people on the way, but also some bad people.

Sui County was their last stop before entering Su City, but they didn't expect that they almost lost their lives here.

"Because he's a black shop..."
