< >Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 129 Part 2: Obsessed
These words were very arrogant. However, Jiang Li knew that Ji Heng did not tell lies. Cheng Wang desired Ji Heng’s protection, yet was rejected by Ji Heng on the surface. Cheng Wang did not even dare to have the idea of “to eliminate if I couldn’t use”, as could be seen.
Jiang Li said, “Precisely because Duke Su is the person in Northern Yan that is mostly able to protect me, that’s why I hope I can get your protection. What I am planning is not within the norms of society and very difficult. Any carelessness will implicate the people beside me, that’s why I have to do many things myself. But no matter how difficult it is, I still have to do it. Duke Su, things in the world are ups and downs, feng shui will turn. Although at the moment I amount very little, perhaps for you, I am just a noble young miss without any usefulness. Suppose there will come a day, give me a bit of time, I may be able to lend a powerful arm to assist you.”
“You are so small, but your tone is so big. Want to help me?” He shook his fan, “you are still a bit too small.”
“At least, I think I am more trustworthy compared to Cheng Wang.”
Ji Heng helped Cheng Wang, allowing the current court to be divided into three powers. It was no easy task to have Emperor Hong Xiao rely on him and to let Cheng Wang go no further than a state of balance. However, Jiang Li thought Cheng Wang’s willingness to stay in this state would not last for long. Emperor Hong Xiao and Cheng Wang’s contradiction did not take shape overnight. The comings and goings between these two people were already worth thinking over. Afraid the bloody battle for the position would arrive soon.
At that time, it’s unknown which faction the Jiang family would fall into. The Jiang family was also in the middle; if they were wrong, they would quickly become the victim in the fight. There were too many such endings since ancient times.
Ji Heng looked at her for a while and said, “You just do your own thing. I can’t meddle too much inside the Jiang family. If you need my rescue in everything, then you are not worth my protection. The flowers raised in our duke residence, aside from being good looking, each one has a wonderful effect. Ah Li,” he called her name gently, but the words spoken seemed to want to let her see the cruelest truth on earth, “in Yanjing, it’s easy to continue living, but it’s difficult to live well. Especially someone like you, who wants to rely on yourself. I can’t call you stupid, I can only say that you are naive. But you should be glad that I don’t dislike your naivety. So, I won’t get involved in the thing that you are constantly thinking about, the thing relating to Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong.”
“That’s your business.” He said.
Jiang Li slowly smiled.
She said, “Many thanks, Duke Su.”
Ji Heng had nothing else to say and was about to get off the carriage. Thinking of something, he abruptly looked for something in his sleeve and threw it to Jiang Li, saying, “If you have any need, blow this whistle, there’s my person inside the Jiang residence who can come to your rescue. Consider it as a gift.” He did not turn around, his tone carrying a trace of a smile, like a sigh, also like a gentle blessing.
“Hope your wish can be fulfilled.”
Ji Heng left, Bai Xue and Tong’er suddenly saw a man getting off the carriage and jumped in fright. After seeing that it was Ji Heng, they were slightly relieved. Jiang Li and Ji Heng’s relationship seemed pretty good, at least after meeting Ji Heng, Jiang Li did not look unhappy.
Tong’er and Bai Xue are not Jiang Yuan Bai’s people, so naturally they did not have to report this matter to Jiang Yuan Bai. Moreover, the two of them did not stay in the residence before, and were not as pedantic as the other servant girls. Feeling that meeting a strange man privately was not so out-of-bounds.
After they had gotten in the carriage, Tong’er asked Jiang Li, “Miss, why did Duke Su come to the carriage? Is anything the matter?”
“Nothing.” Jiang Li looked at the whistle on her palm. Bai Xue followed her sight and upon seeing the whistle, she said, “This whistle is made finely.”
At the top of the slender porcelain whistle, a black peony bloomed. Even though it was a small thing, the peony was portrayed finely and vividly. Jiang Li put away the whistle and said, “Yes.”
Ji Heng gave her a whistle, and also acquiesced to a fact. Although he could not guess that she was Xue Fang Fei, he had a tacit understanding in regards to the things that she was about to do, which was to deal with Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning in the future in order to express the injustice done to the brother and sister, Xue Fang Fei and Xue Zhao.
He knew, he would not ask, he approved and at the crucial time, he would still help.
Hence she had one more bargaining chip, and it was the biggest chip in Northern Yan’s court. Even though this bargaining chip required her to pay a price, which at this moment, she still was not clear what the price would be.
However, Jiang Li thought that this was not a money losing business, to the extent that she was nearly unafraid of the future.
She needed to plan well, as for whether it could be done or not, dared to do or not, with Ji Heng around, she was not afraid.
……
Just like Ji Heng said, Princess Yongning was flying into a rage in the princess mansion.
Feng Yu Tang was executed and did not mention Princess Yongning’s name before his death. However, Cheng Wang told Yongning that though it looked like that on the surface, they could not find out what the Ministry of Justice Zhou De Zhao managed to extract from Feng Yu Tang’s mouth. Even though Emperor Hong Xiao did not perform an in-depth investigation on the surface, letting Jiang Li rehabilitate Jiang Li during the palace discussion had already shown the Emperor’s attitude clearly. It was no longer a secret that Emperor Hong Xiao wanted to deal with Cheng Wang.
A Xue family’s case was interrelated with the undercurrent in Northern Yan’s court. Cheng Wang had already returned to discuss with Liu taifei the things concerning Emperor Hong Xiao. Emperor Hong Xiao no longer fully concealed his killing intention towards Cheng Wang, which also meant that the day was not far off, and they had to start preparing to act.
As for Princess Yongning, she did not care about the moment in the court. In her opinion, sooner or later, the world would belong to Cheng Wang. When that day came, her status would be even higher and there was nothing that she could not get. At present, the thing she was most worried about and hated was actually Jiang Li.
