The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

Ji Qingwan clutched her handkerchief unwillingly. Even though she had decided to place her bet on the prince, she still couldn't completely control her heart...

"Dear guests, your tea."

A deep voice came from behind the screen. Li Junlin's pupils trembled, and then he turned his head naturally to look.

After seeing Xue Yi dressed as a waiter, the man's aura suddenly sank.

The phoenix eyes narrowed, and the murderous intent contained in them made Xue Yi dare not look directly at them.

Although he is a subordinate of the prince, he is still affiliated with Concubine Rou's family. Therefore, as a deadpool, he dare not disobey Concubine Rou's orders.

Li Junlin's jawline was tense. He didn't come here with any blood, so his appearance here must have been his mother's idea.

The man's gloomy eyes looked at the woman beside him again. Ji Qingwan had seen Xue Yi before, but was not surprised at his appearance. What did this mean? Did she also know her mother's plan?

Li Junlin was almost laughing out of anger. Was he being played around by two women?

Xue Yi put down the teacups in order. When he placed them in front of Jiang Li, his expression froze for a moment. He could feel that the Third Prince's gaze was on him.

The man's eagle-like gaze made him nervous, afraid of revealing any flaws.

The hand holding the tea tray was very steady, and only after he put it down completely did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Similarly, Ji Qingwan also nervously clenched her handkerchief.

The cup of tea in front of Jiang Li was drugged. Today's occasion was so rare, with Prince Chu and the Lin siblings all present. If Jiang Li did something out of line in public, even if Li Jinyuan didn't mind, if the news reached the capital, the emperor would find it difficult to hide his anger.

Even though General Jiang is a national hero, Jiang Li has done something that has brought shame to the royal family. The Jiang family is bound to be implicated...

Li Junlin followed Ji Qingwan's gaze towards the cup of tea, and immediately had a general idea in his mind.

I couldn't hide my disgust. Was this the only dirty trick these women used to scheme against each other?

Jiang Li picked up the teacup without changing her expression, and Ji Qingwan's heart began to lift.

Drink it, drink it...

Perhaps her gaze was too direct, Jiang Li couldn't help but look over.

"Miss Ji, why are you looking at me like this? Do you have anything to say?"

"Nothing, I just noticed that the princess' lips are a little dry, so it's better for her to drink more tea..."

Ji Qingwan was so frightened that his voice trembled for a moment, and he hurriedly found words to make up for himself.

Seeing her foolish look, Li Junlin's disgust deepened.

"I see. Thank you for your concern."

Jiang Li seemed not to notice her nervousness. The rim of the cup was about to touch her lips, but was interrupted by a cold voice.

"Wait a minute."

Ji Qingwan now knew what it felt like to have her heart torn between two ropes, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces by her.

"what happened?"

Jiang Li looked up at Li Jinyuan innocently, her face confused.

She looks so delicate and soft that people can't wait to hold her in their hands.

"Don't you like flower tea? Let me trade with you. Give me this cup of Biluochun."

"Okay."

Jiang Li didn't think much about it and took the flower tea and started drinking it.

Ji Qingwan watched Li Jinyuan drink the drugged Biluochun tea, his mind going blank.

What should I do? Why did he drink it?

The woman looked flustered, but when Li Junlin saw that it was Li Jinyuan who drank the cup of tea, his tense expression relaxed a lot.

Xue Yi hadn't expected such a misunderstanding. What about the three strong men arranged by Concubine Rou? He couldn't...

Li Jinyuan put down the half-empty teacup, his beautiful thin lips still stained with water, tempting people to imagine.

Ji Qingwan stared at the man closely. Suddenly, she bit her lower lip lightly, and a crazy idea emerged in her mind...

Lin Ci didn't notice the turmoil at the table. At this moment, after a good rest, he was actually a little bored.

"Isn't it about time? If you don't go now, you'll miss the bonfire party."

"Yes, it's better to go early."

Chu Changxun responded and stood up, picking up Lin Qingtang's spoils.

"Okay... Ouch wait!"

"what happened?"

Lin Qingtang stood up and suddenly his face turned pale, and the next second he raised his beautiful thin eyebrows.

Chu Changxun supported her with some concern, his face tense.

"I suddenly have a stomachache. You guys go first, I'll come find you later!"

The girl's voice was anxious. She should have known not to eat so many pastries.

"How can this be? I'll wait for you outside."

Chu Changxuan handed all the things to Lin Ci, then stood up to go out with Lin Qingtang.

There are all kinds of people here tonight, and it is too dangerous for a little girl to act alone.

Jiang Li also nodded, feeling more at ease with Chu Changxun accompanying them.

"Isn't this bad..."

Lin Qingtang was a little embarrassed. She was going to the toilet, so how could she let Chu Changxun accompany her?

The man saw her concerns and chuckled lightly.

"I will stay away from you. Besides, if the princess stays with you, you two girls are not reliable."

"OK then……"

Just like that, the other five people went out and walked towards the river where the bonfire party was being held.

Along the way, Jiang Li and the others deliberately kept a distance from Li Junlin and the others.

Ji Qingwan would look back from time to time, fearing that the medicine would suddenly take effect on Li Jinyuan's body.

The man beside him suddenly spoke, his tone so cold that it seemed as if it could freeze someone to death.

"Have you told Mother about our plan to go to Wujiang?"

The woman's face froze, and then she shook her head frantically.

"I didn't say that! I don't know how the Imperial Concubine knew..."

A slight sneer escaped from the man's throat, and his eyes looking at her sideways were cold and emotionless.

"It would be best if this prince discovered that you were colluding with others to do something foolish without telling this prince, then you would not be able to take the position of Crown Princess in the future."

Ji Qingwan's pupils trembled and his breathing became lighter.

"No, not anymore..."

While the two were talking, the two people behind them had disappeared.

Jiang Li pulled Li Jinyuan into a small alley. Her almond-shaped eyes were no longer calm, and she reached out to touch his mouth.

"Can you still spit it out?"

The man chuckled and raised his head to avoid it, but the white and soft little hand still pressed against his thin lips without giving up.

"Don't make a fuss. What if those two give you some dirty medicine and you drink it and it harms your health?"

Seeing that the girl was about to get anxious, Li Jinyuan raised his hand and held her wrist. His rough fingertips couldn't help but stroke her smooth skin. He was very touched by the girl's concern.

"Be good, don't worry, I vomited it out a long time ago."

"Really?"

The girl frowned slightly, how come she didn't notice?

"Really? I vomited on my handkerchief in the teahouse."

Jiang Li finally felt relieved after hearing this and took his arm again.

"That's good, let's go out."

"Wait a moment."

"Ok?"
