Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Tianxing Tower.

In order to repay the King of Chu for saving his life, he invited him to dinner casually, but was afraid that he would feel insincere, so he asked about the restaurant he liked in advance.

I didn’t expect that there was a room here that was booked by the King of Chu all year round.

So they ordered the food and drinks directly.

Just after going up to the second floor, Jiang Ningwan was still thinking about how to tell the King of Chu about the substitute marriage.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the door at the end. He was wearing a veil hat, but it was obviously Jiang Xiru.

Isn't she seriously ill and bedridden? Why is she here?

And sneaky!

Jiang Ningwan stepped forward quickly, intending to catch her red-handed.

She suddenly grabbed Jiang Xiru's wrist. Jiang Xiru screamed in fright, turned around and saw her, her face suddenly changed, and she shook off her hand and ran away.

Jiang Ningwan still wanted to chase after him.

Suddenly the door opened.

"Miss Jiang!" a cold voice came.

Jiang Ningwan was slightly startled. She looked into the room and was shocked. "Prince?"

There was another man in black in the room, who turned his back to avoid Jiang Ningwan from seeing his face.

"Commander Ren, I have an appointment, so I'll take my leave now." Qin Shuangchi said and pushed his wheelchair out of the room.

The man with his back turned stiffened noticeably and nodded slightly.

Jiang Ningwan was also a little surprised. The man obviously didn't want her to see his face, but when the King of Chu called him the commander, didn't he directly expose his identity?

She seemed to know something she shouldn't know.

Thinking about Jiang Xiru eavesdropping here just now, could it be that he deliberately lured her here?

Qin Shuangchi was afraid that he had mistakenly thought that she was the one eavesdropping.

"Your Majesty..."

"Miss Jiang, didn't you invite me to dinner? Why aren't you leaving?" Qin Shuangchi had already walked away and turned back to look at her.

Jiang Ningwan came to her senses and immediately followed.

Countless names of Ren flashed through his mind, but the only one who was worthy of the position of commander was—

The defender of the north, Ren Suhan!

Jiang Ningwan's scalp suddenly felt numb.

Returning to Beijing without a transfer order is a serious crime.

He risked his head and secretly returned to the capital in order to meet with the King of Chu, so what they discussed must be a confidential matter.

It’s over.

Qin Shuangchi was pushed into the private room, and the waiter came over immediately to ask if the food was ready.

"let's go."

"Okay, wait a moment!"

While waiting for the food to be served, Jiang Ningwan looked around the room and out the window.

Suddenly startled.

She stood up and walked to the window. Looking forward, she could actually see the top floor of Dengque Tower.

From this angle, you can see it clearly.

"Does the prince often come here to eat?"

Qin Shuangchi noticed that she was looking at Deng Que Lou and said indifferently: "Occasionally."

"That's good." Jiang Ningwan breathed a sigh of relief.

If she came here often, she would often be seen climbing the magpie tower, and she would feel like she was being spied on.

"Dear guests, your dishes are here. Please enjoy your meal." The waiter quickly left the room and closed the door.

Jiang Ning sat down before dinner, poured herself a glass of wine, and poured Qin Shuangchi a cup of tea. "Your Highness is not well yet, so have some tea."

"I toast to His Majesty! Thank you for saving my life!"

Qin Shuangchi drank the tea in one gulp, put down the cup, and looked at her meaningfully, "Why don't you ask me who I just met and what we talked about?"

Jiang Ningwan almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

He quickly waved his hands, "How dare I ask about the prince's private affairs!"

She doesn't want to know about losing her head.

"Actually, that person just now was Ren Suhan, the Northern Territory's garrison commander. You should have guessed it, right?"

Jiang Ningwan's palms tightened slightly. Was this a test?

I could have pretended not to know, but now that I have told her clearly, she can no longer ignore it.

"Your Highness, I just arrived at your door when you opened it. I really didn't hear anything. I don't even know who Commander Ren is. How could a woman like me know about the affairs of the North?"

Jiang Ningwan continued to play dumb.

Qin Shuangchi's eyes were sharp and deep, with a faint smile on his lips. He said quietly, "But your maternal grandfather and his family were exiled to the north."

At that moment, Jiang Ningwan's palms tightened.

His nails dug into his palms.

Being exposed in front of her, Jiang Ningwan had no idea what Qin Shuangchi meant.

He was just short of telling her blatantly that he, Qin Shuangchi, had close ties with the Northland, and that he was not unrelated to the death of the entire Ling family.

Although she was nervous, Jiang Ningwan raised her eyes calmly and said calmly, "So my maternal grandfather's family is under the care of Commander Ren? Seeing that the prince has a good relationship with Commander Ren, could you please ask the prince to take care of my maternal grandfather's family?"

Her innocent and sincere eyes made Qin Shuangchi's heart tremble.

Looking away, he poured himself some tea and took a sip, then said slowly, "I'll take care of it."

Jiang Ningwan tried hard to see something strange in his reaction, but she saw nothing.

Does he know that his maternal grandfather and his entire family have died?

The atmosphere fell into silence.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ningwan brought up the business again: "Actually, I invited Your Highness here today because I have something else I want to ask Your Highness."

"You ask."

"Your Highness... do you like Jiang Xiru?"

Jiang Ningwan wanted to know whether the King of Chu married Jiang Xiru to fulfill his engagement or because he liked her.

If he likes Jiang Xiru, then she cannot do such a thing as marrying in place of someone else, otherwise her fate will be even worse than in her previous life.

Don't underestimate a man's viciousness.

She couldn't just escape from a fire pit and jump into another one.

Qin Shuangchi was slightly startled, with complicated emotions in his eyes, but he did not answer for a long time.

In the silence, Jiang Ningwan felt extremely uneasy.

She was even thinking about other ways to get the title deed to the Ling family's ancestral home back besides marrying in place of the bride.

Just when the two of them were thinking about something.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed outside the window, and a hidden arrow shot in.

The light was cold and murderous.

It hit Jiang Ningwan's throat directly.

Jiang Ningwan's face changed and she stood up and retreated in panic.

And the sleeve arrow was already at his face.

At the moment when death was about to strike, the sharp arrow blade suddenly stopped an inch in front of Jiang Ningwan.

tick-

Bright red blood dripped onto the table.

A pale, slender hand grabbed the sharp arrow, but accidentally cut its palm, and blood dripped.

"Your Highness..." Jiang Ningwan was extremely shocked.

Qin Shuangchi frowned slightly, loosened his hand, and the sleeve arrow fell to the ground, but he felt dizzy.

Jiang Ningwan grabbed his wrist and bandaged it, but found that the arrow was poisonous and the wound had turned black.

The toxin is also very strong.

It is rapidly attacking Qin Shuangchi's heart meridian.

If he remembered correctly, his heart meridians were nearly shattered. His already weak parts could not withstand such a strong poison and would have killed him in an instant!

I don't have my needle bag with me.

Jiang Ningwan held his hand without hesitation, placed her lips on his wound, and sucked out the poison.

At that moment, Qin Shuangchi's pupils trembled.

The soft touch of his palm gave him a strange feeling, like a feather brushing against him. He wanted to scratch but couldn't, causing his heartbeat to accelerate suddenly.

Mouthful of poisonous blood was sucked out.

Jiang Ningwan's lips also turned purple.

When Qin Shuangchi saw this, his face changed, and he immediately came to his senses and pulled his hand back, "Enough!"

Jiang Ningwan was startled and quickly tried to take his hand back, "Your poison is not yet completely cleared."

"If you are also poisoned, we will all die here!" Qin Shuangchi looked out the window with a serious expression.

Jiang Ningwan followed his gaze and saw a person hanging on the roof of Dengque Tower.

Under the moonlight, the man showed a sinister smile and raised the hidden arrow in his arm, full of murderous intent and provocation.

"You are so brave that you dare to assassinate someone in Kyoto!" Jiang Ningwan pulled out the dagger from his waist and prepared to catch him.

Qin Shuangchi's expression changed, and he quickly held her hand, "You can't go!"

"Run away!"
