The warm, wet tip of the tongue swept across his lower lip, and the touch that he hadn't felt for seven years almost immediately caused Lu Shiqing to tremble.

Yes, that's right, it's this familiar taste.

However, after the trembling, he looked down and saw her smiling eyes, her nose as smooth as pearls, and the two white teeth faintly revealed between her red lips when she spoke. The excitement in his bones could not help but surge up, and waves of heat pushed and overturned in his chest, pulling him out of the trembling.

Then, he was left with only blood and nature.

Then, Lu Shiqing kissed her violently.

Yuan Cixian's mind buzzed. This reward was too much!

She subconsciously tried to retreat, but his hand restrained her waist. She wanted to strangle him, but he had anticipated it and locked her wrist with one hand.

Yuan Cixian was angry at first that he took advantage of her, but when she stared at him, seeing his tightly closed eyes, trembling eyelashes, and sweaty forehead in the winter, she felt a strange throbbing. Feeling his nervousness and his cherishment, she felt a great satisfaction in her heart.

But she soon lost sight of it. Perhaps realizing that she was no longer resisting, Lu Shiqing loosened her wrist and covered her eyes with his palm.

His initial impatience gradually subsided, and he slowly left her world, lingering on her lips, sucking on the corners of her lips as if to comfort her, and finally letting her go. He was silent for a long while while looking into her eyes, and said in a low voice: "It should be like this."

Yuan Cixian was stunned for a moment before she realized that what he wanted to say was that he was restoring the truth about being kissed by the dog.

Her cheeks were flushed, she didn't know if it was because of his kiss or because she was angry. After panting for a while, she said viciously: "What's this and that? You are lying with open eyes. Your dog is so capable, who are you trying to fool!" After that, she panted a few more times and unconsciously made a swallowing motion.

When Lu Shiqing saw her action, his Adam's apple rolled, and he turned his head and coughed: "Maybe I remembered it wrong." After saying that, he seemed to not know where to go. He hesitated with his left and right feet, and finally turned around and walked into the house with a not particularly steady and slightly floating step.

Yuan Cihan followed, but when she stepped over the threshold, her legs went weak and her feet felt like they were stepping on cotton. She almost fell headfirst like Jiang Birou, and was lucky to use the door frame for support.

Seeing Lu Shiqing turning back after hearing the voice, she immediately stood up straight and asked with a questioning look, "What's the matter?"

Lu Shiqing said "Oh" and pointed at the door: "Don't close the door, the room is stuffy, let's ventilate it."

It’s so cold, and the northwest wind is blowing!

She cursed him secretly as "troublesome" and left the door half open for him. Then she steadied her steps, walked to his desk and sat down, breaking the overly ambiguous atmosphere and said, "The Jiang family's affairs are not that simple. Maybe... Jiang Siqing is actually Prince Ping's man?"

If Jiang Min had not participated in the assassination, no matter how Lu Shiqing tempted him, he would not have been able to write the letter. And the mastermind behind the assassination was Prince Ping, so Jiang Min was working for him.

In other words, the story in the previous life was probably like this - the Jiang family initially supported King Ping, but in order to avoid the risk of King Ping's defeat, they quietly became fence-sitters and tried to please Emperor Huining. Later, perhaps King Ping was tired of such a two-faced person, or perhaps he was gradually declining, so the Jiang family hurried to show goodwill to Zheng Zhuo, who had become powerful.

As for Emperor Huining, the Jiang family, who are used to being fence-sitters, must have some tricks up their sleeves. What is more in line with their style is: send Jiang Bican to Zheng Zhuo's bed, let her sit on the position of the prince's consort and please him; on the other hand, they express their loyalty to the old emperor, saying that the Jiang family will definitely monitor the Sixth Prince's Mansion for him.

In this way, it makes sense that Jiang Birou was finally able to obtain the emperor's mercy and escape death.

Lu Shiqing nodded, indicating that what she said was correct.

Yuan Cixian found that since he returned from the south, he was no longer shy about talking to her about political affairs. With such a "busybody" around, it would be a waste if she didn't ask, so she continued to ask: "How long has the Jiang family been working for King Ping?"

He glanced at her and said, "Since he is a secret agent, how could he show up on the surface? I have only recently become convinced of this."

Otherwise, he would have cleaned up the bad apple of Jiang Birou for the Yuan family long ago.

Yuan Cixian thought to herself that it was true. If the Jiang family and Prince Heping had no ability at all, they would not have been able to stay alive for so long in their previous life. She asked this question just to confirm whether Jiang Birou had ulterior motives when she first married into the Yuan family.

If the Jiang family had been planning for King Ping for many years, they must have wanted to persuade the Yuan family to join the alliance through marriage. But the Yuan family did not get involved in these things at first, so Jiang Birou's pillow talk did not work. Later, Yuan Yu and Zheng Zhuo had close contacts, and she found out something. Due to the conflict of interest, she told Jiang Min about it.

It was precisely because of the obstruction of the Jiang family that King Ping suspected that Xu Shan was not dead and even worked for Zheng Zhuo. Also, because of the concern for the relationship between the Yuan family and Zheng Zhuo, he colluded with Nanzhao to carry out the Shangzhou plan.

If Yuan Yu had not always been considerate of Jiang Birou's frailty and had not asked her too many questions, I'm afraid the Yuan family and Zheng Zhuo might have really been dragged into the water by the Jiang family and King Ping.

But this is the result of my brother's own kindness, Yuan Cixian will never tolerate the Jiang family.

She continued to ask: "How did you induce Jiang Siqing to send the secret letter?"

"Nothing surprising." Lu Shiqing explained, "It's just that the letter to your brother mentioned the official in Shangzhou, which made Jiang Shi mistakenly believe that your brother had caught him and could make him confess at any time. After Jiang Siqing found out, he naturally lost his temper. The official was involved in a big case, and it's not possible to cut off the clues and eliminate the trouble forever by killing him, so there was this secret letter."

Yuan Cixian pondered for a moment and said, "But Jiang Siqing must have exchanged secret letters with Shangzhou before, but he was never discovered. You must have planted an informant next to the saint to intercept the letters and deliver them to him, right?"

Lu Shiqing looked at her and said, "You've already guessed it, why are you asking?"

Yuan Cixian smiled slyly, leaned over and said, "Lu Shiqing, it's very dangerous for you to tell me all this. I actually have a good relationship with the Saint."

He raised his eyelids a little: "I thought you were a grateful person."

Yuan Cixian muttered: "I have already reported it just now..."

Lu Shiqing choked.

Oh, he worked so hard to destroy a force for her, and now she just asked for a kiss and that’s it

It doesn't take much brains for him to scheme against others.

He emphasized: "Is this all you ask of the Jiang family?" The implication was that there was still something he could do.

Yuan Cixian shook her head: "Of course not." Then she said shamelessly, "Now it seems that the saint will not punish Jiang Siqing for me. At most, he will take out his anger on me with my sister-in-law. I have already made enough gestures in front of him, and I am just waiting for your next move. How is it, do we have a special tacit understanding?"

Haha, this face changes so quickly.

"There is no tacit understanding." Lu Shiqing said coldly, "It's just that you happen to have a brain."

"… "

Yuan Cixian was angry, but she had to endure it when she needed help. She pulled the corner of her mouth in a good-natured way: "Don't keep me in suspense. Come on, tell me, has Lingnan's matter been settled?"

Although Lu Shiqing didn't say it, he had to admit in his heart that Yuan Cihan did have a good understanding with him, both as Xu Shan and as himself.

He nodded and explained, "Remember the arrowheads found in the suburbs of Chang'an earlier? You were right. Although the Second Prince committed this crime, there was also an element of frame-up. I recently found out that as early as last year, Jiang Siqing mined a mine in Lingnan and secretly presented it to Prince Ping. Prince Ping then asked someone to pass it on to the Second Prince to stimulate his ambitions. He also set up the trap set by the Uighur merchants and used me to expose it."

Lu Shiqing had guessed the twists and turns here at the beginning, but he was stuck at Lingnan when he was checking. It was only after Yuan Cixian revealed and reminded him that he really understood the whole story.

Yuan Cixian understood what he meant: "You mean, you plan to tell the saint about this matter and use it to completely defeat the Jiang family."

Lu Shiqing nodded slightly: "But now is not the best time, you can vent your anger on Jiang first."

Yuan Cixian curled her lips. He really thought she was a child. She targeted Jiang Birou to protect the Yuan family, not to vent her anger. However, she still tried to test him: "The so-called best time, is it when Prince Ping comes to Beijing at the end of the year?"

"right."

She suddenly smiled very sinisterly: "This is really a good time to pick one out of a hundred. Jiang Siqing will definitely be very happy to receive such a valuable New Year gift."

Lu Shiqing wanted to say that she was treacherous, but suddenly he saw Cao An coming and reported back, "My dear, the sage has sent a message saying that he has sent people to the Yuan family to drive Jiang out. If the county lady wants to go and see, she should seize the opportunity."

"..." Yuan Cixian was a little speechless. Everyone treated her as a little kid who needed to vent his anger.

Lu Shiqing looked at her and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go."

She shook her head: "Go ahead." She didn't want to see Jiang Birou, but she was worried about her brother.

Lu Shiqing said "OK", as if ready to go with her, and stood up and told Cao An: "Prepare the carriage."

When the eunuchs of Emperor Huining arrived at Yuan's residence, there had already been a commotion. When Jiang Birou learned that the letter had been intercepted, she figured out what was going on and probably wanted to give up, so she asked Yuan Yu how he could plot against her like this.

Yuan Yu could only smile bitterly and remain silent.

On the day Jiang Birou got into trouble, he rushed over in a hurry, but after listening to Yuan Cixian's words, he felt like a handful of cold water was poured over him from head to toe. In fact, he didn't even need the doctor to confront him, he already believed his sister.

The first was that his sister suddenly ran away from home, leaving behind a vague reason. The second was that Jiang Birou insisted on going to the Lu residence to pick up Yuan Cixian despite his dissuasion. The third was that she had a miscarriage under such circumstances.

There are not so many coincidences in the world.

But even though he knew Jiang Birou's evil intentions, he still never blamed her. That day in the west courtyard of Lu's mansion, she saw that he had believed in her sister, and she knew she couldn't deny it, so she cried and begged him to forgive her.

Remembering the reason why she couldn't have children and the debt the Yuan family owed her, he accepted her, but he couldn't help but have doubts, and asked Yuan Cixian one more question before leaving. He felt that if Jiang Birou had just deliberately miscarried, his sister might not be so angry.

So he asked her what was the ending of Jiang Birou in her dream.

Yuan Cixian only said one sentence: We are all dead, but my sister-in-law is still alive.

Yuan Yu understood everything. Afterwards, Yuan Cixian suggested using the letter to plot against Jiang Birou, and he agreed.

In fact, this was his last chance for Jiang Birou. If she didn't tell the Jiang family, he would have let bygones be bygones. But she did.

Then all debts will be paid off on this day.

Yuan Yu looked at the haggard Jiang Birou and smiled bitterly: "Birou, are you desperate? But you don't know that I may be more desperate than you."

Jiang Birou suddenly froze, not being able to shed a single tear.

She saw that his expression had become indifferent, and said, "Go and receive the decree."

The eunuch brought a cup of wine and said to Jiang Birou, who was kneeling on the ground, "Sinful woman Jiang, the emperor has spared your life in consideration of the winter solstice amnesty. Drink this wine and live your life well." He then looked at Yuan Yu and said, "Jiang is suffering from a serious illness and may infect others. She should not stay in the capital any longer. Please ask General Yuan to deal with her as soon as possible and send her away from Chang'an."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal the palace maid behind him to serve him some wine.

Jiang Birou naturally guessed that drinking this wine would be worse than death. She seemed to be afraid only at this moment, and backed away desperately, then she remembered Yuan Yu who was also kneeling beside her to receive the order, and pulled at his sleeve, begging him to let her go.

Yuan Yu did not look at her again, but bowed deeply to the eunuch and said, "I will obey the command of the emperor."

Jiang Birou collapsed to the ground.

*

When Yuan Cixian and Lu Shiqing arrived at Yuan's house, they saw her with empty eyes. The eunuchs and palace maids had already left. After drinking the wine, she was twitching all over, lying on the ground and unable to stand up. Her face was covered with hideous raised red marks, as if she had contracted some serious disease.

Yuan Yu remained silent for a long time, and finally bent down to help her, but she broke free.

Jiang Birou looked straight at Yuan Cihan and Lu Shiqing who were standing in front of the mansion gate, and crawled towards them little by little.

Yuan Cixian understood the whole story at a glance, and immediately restrained his expression and slowly walked forward, stopping just a few feet away from her.

Jiang Birou's lips trembled, she looked up, and said word by word: "Yuan Cixian, you have ruined my life, I will not let you go..."

Yuan Cixian looked down at her and curled her lips: "Don't make me sound so proud. I don't have the ability to ruin someone's life. I asked Doctor Yu. Your cough and asthma are from your mother's womb. It's normal for you to have an attack when you get older. It has nothing to do with me."

A strange color flashed in Jiang Birou's eyes, and then she laughed like crazy. After laughing enough, she gritted her teeth and said, "None of this matters anymore... You will get your retribution! The pain I endure today will be repaid to you tenfold or a hundredfold in the future... Don't disbelieve me..."

Lu Shiqing and Yuan Yu both frowned and took a step forward, but were stopped by Yuan Cixian with a raised palm.

The two saw her smile calmly, then she lowered her eyes to look at Jiang Birou and said, "How can a person who reaps his own fruits be qualified to talk to me about retribution? Jiang Birou, don't think you understand me. How do you know that I still don't believe in these things as much as when I was a child? You are right, there should be cause and effect in this world. But unfortunately, you said the opposite." The corners of her lips curved slightly, and her tone was gentle, "It is because I have endured pain that is ten or a hundred times heavier than yours a long time ago, so today, you crawl at my feet, and I stand in front of you."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Yuan Yu and said calmly, "Brother, please see the guest off."
