Quick Transmigration: Host, Please Be a Mute Beauty

The next day.

For some unknown reason, Jiang Qiao was summoned to the palace by Jiang Ji.

The man in the yellow robe looked down at her from a high position.

"I wonder why Father has summoned me here?"

Jiang Ji's eyes were sunken, and he looked much more haggard, like a wizard.

"When did Chang Le become acquainted with the Crown Prince of Ningyuan? How come I didn't know?"

Jiang Qiao guessed that he knew about Rong Sui coming to the princess's residence to see her yesterday.

She doesn't intend to admit it.

“I didn’t know him before, and I don’t know why he came to see me yesterday.”

Jiang Ji's eyes flashed with shrewdness. "I intend to bestow a marriage upon the two of you. Rong Sui is the Crown Prince of Ningyuan Kingdom and will be the Emperor of Ningyuan Kingdom in the future. The two countries need a marriage alliance as a medium for relations. As the eldest princess, you should also make contributions to Anhuai Kingdom."

Jiang Qiao hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Yesterday, she had said so much to Rong Sui, and she could tell that he wasn't the kind of person who would force her. Therefore, the decision to grant them marriage today was made by Jiang Ji.

He chose himself from among the four princesses, even though he had promised the Empress Dowager that he would not interfere with her marriage.

Jiang Qiao was utterly disappointed in him.

"Your Majesty, I do not like him. Please rescind your decree."

Jiang Ji did not allow her to refuse. "I am merely informing you that this matter is settled. In a few days, I will draft an edict to announce it to the world."

He had thought about Chi Qi'an, but so what? He was just a subject, yet he dared to put pressure on the emperor.

Jiang Qiao suddenly stood up, her face flushed with anger.

"Father promised Grandmother that he would not interfere in my marriage. Is Father going to break his promise?"

Jiang Ji may have forgotten, but so what? The kingdom of Anhuai belongs to him; he is the emperor!

"The Empress Dowager will not blame me!"

Jiang Qiao didn't speak. Jiang Ji's condition was already off, and she needed to make preparations as soon as possible.

"Yes!"

Jiang Ji didn't expect her to agree so readily, which saved her a lot of trouble.

"In that case, you should go back first!"

Jiang Qiao turned around, her eyes suddenly turning cold.

Jiang Ji, enjoy your last few good days!

……

in the afternoon.

Chi Qi'an brought a lot of food with him when he came to the princess's residence, and skillfully climbed over the wall to get in.

Jiang Qiao had just taken her medicine and was about to lie down when the noise at the door woke her up.

She knew it was Chi Qi'an who had come.

Chi Qi'an was already quite familiar with the place; he had recently fallen in love with flower tea, and the one from Jiang Qiao was the best.

Jiang Qiao pinched her cheek. "Chi Qi'an, don't buy so much food next time you come. I've gained weight."

Chi Qi'an carefully observed her face and honestly replied, "Qiao Qiao is not fat."

He actually thought she looked much more haggard.

Jiang Qiao recalled what happened that morning, "Chi Qi'an, Jiang Ji plans to have me marry Rong Sui."

Chi Qi'an felt as if a huge stone was pressing down on his heart, incredibly heavy. "How could this be!"

The Emperor had promised him that once the affairs of Ningyuan Kingdom were settled, he would bestow a marriage upon them.

Jiang Qiao knew that Chi Qi'an was a loyal subject. In her previous life, he had also drunk the poisoned wine given to him by Jiang Ji without hesitation. In this life, she wanted to let the tower see Jiang Ji's true character.

"Chi Qi'an, I will not marry Rong Sui, don't worry."

How could Chi Qi'an be at ease? "I have already explained to the Emperor that I asked him to grant us a marriage, and he agreed."

The Chi family did their best for An Huaiguo, but in the end, why did they get nothing in return?

Jiang Qiao only just found out about this; it turns out that Chi Qi'an had proposed to her long ago.

Jiang Ji really has a brilliant plan!

Jiang Qiao suddenly stopped and looked up to meet his eyes. "Chi Qi'an, I'm going to do something, something very interesting."

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Qiao pretended to be relaxed, "I won't tell you now, you'll know as you live your life."

Chi Qi'an could never guess, he never would, because they were two different kinds of people: one was an eternally upright and famous general who protected the country, and the other was an eternally despicable and venomous princess.

They were not a good match, yet they loved each other.

Jiang Qiao would stop at nothing to get what she wanted, and she didn't want to involve Chi Qi'an.

Chi Qi'an felt uneasy and anxious. He stared at the other person blankly for a long time before forcing himself to smile.

-

Night fell like a wildcat, quietly slipping down the mountain ridge and carrying all the sounds into the valley. Under the cover of night, only a few scattered pine torches flickered, like starlight on an autumn night after the rain.

Today, Jiang Qiao entered the palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

Using the same familiar methods, she sent Yunyan back to the princess's residence in her place, while she stayed behind.

The art of disguise in the martial arts world is truly effective. Jiang Qiao changed her appearance to that of an ordinary person and was already dressed in the palace attire of a maid.

She hid in the shadows and saw the palace maid carrying the ginseng soup approaching. "Sister, can you do me a favor?"

Startled by being suddenly blocked, the palace maid's attitude was less than friendly. "What help are you offering? Can't you see I'm busy? I'm on my way to deliver something to the Emperor. Can you hold me up?"

He was knocked unconscious by Jiang Qiao the next second.

Jiang Qiao wasn't in good health, but she took a drug that would excite her for today's plan.

She dragged the palace maid into the shadows and threw her into a dry well behind the bushes.

Jiang Qiao dislikes potential problems.

Li Dequan was not there at the moment, and it was unknown where he had gone. The guards were changing shifts, and Jiang Qiao successfully entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation with the ginseng soup.

Jiang Ji was reviewing memorials, and Jiang Qiao could smell the calming incense that she had given him to be burning in the hall.

Jiang Qiao drank the homemade medicine and changed her voice, "Your Majesty, please have some ginseng soup. This was personally prepared by Consort Li."

Jiang Ji was thirsty, so he took a small sip and then drank it all.

"Stay back!"

Jiang Qiao didn't move. She had put a mute-inducing drug in the ginseng soup and was waiting for it to take effect.

"How did you..."

Jiang Ji suddenly lost his voice, clutching his throat. He stared at the silent palace maid beside him, his face filled with disbelief.

"Father."

Jiang Ji couldn't recognize the voice, but looking at the smile on the woman's face, he knew it was Chang Le.

He sensed something was wrong and his heart tightened. He was about to run out when Jiang Qiao held him down. Jiang Ji, whose body was already weak, was unable to resist.

"Father, don't move, listen to me."

Jiang Ji's expression gradually stiffened, and he slowly raised his eyes, his cheek muscles twitching slightly.

"Father, do you know? I really hate you. Because of you, I've ruined Bai Mian's life and hurt Ayan and me. I hate you so much!"

"By the way, I killed Lou Zhuxin. Surprised? I'm so cruel. Does that dagger look familiar?"

"Father, do you still remember that dagger that I took at my first birthday celebration when I was a child? I only made a slight modification to it. You can't even recognize it? Well, after more than ten years, you really have gotten senile."

"I heard from my grandmother that you were very happy when I was born. It was your first time being a father, and you cherished me. Did you ever think that one day you would treat me like a pawn and throw me away at will?"

Jiang Ji was filled with fear and anxiety, and had already lost his composure, unable to find peace for even a moment.

Jiang Qiao placed the blank imperial edict in front of him.

"Father, a man like you should abdicate!"
