Xiao Yichen put away the small bamboo tube in his hand, turned to look at the housekeeper, frowned slightly, and for some reason, felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The housekeeper said, "It's the Princess."
Chi Feng laughed instantly, as if he heard a big joke, "Main Concubine... You mean that silly concubine Ji Lingxue, haha, hasn't she been staying in that side courtyard? Why did she come out today?!"
The housekeeper was so upset that he didn't know what to say. The silly concubine was silly, but she was married to the prince in a formal way after all.
Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly, threw his sleeves behind his back, and strode forward, "Let's go and take a look." He wanted to see what that silly woman was going to do next.
In the flower hall, Ji Lingxue had changed into a refreshing light blue dress. Her long hair was tied up into a popular bun and she only wore two jade hairpins in her hair. Without the dazzling golden hairpins, her face looked delicate.
Ji Yuqing waited in the bridal chamber for a whole night but Xiao Yichen didn't come back. She was feeling uneasy being alone in her empty room. She was confused as to why the poison she spent so much money to buy was useless and didn't kill the fool who claimed the title of princess. She was also worried that Xiao Yichen would suddenly sympathize with Ji Lingxue and find out what she was thinking. How would she face it then
Amid such anxiety, the day finally dawned. Ji Yuqing, who had been thinking all night and had failed to come up with a solution, sat in front of the dressing table and put on makeup. She used thick powder to cover the dark circles under her eyes, but in her heart she cursed Ji Lingxue, that fool, a thousand times.
When she went out, she showed a friendly smile on her face and walked towards the flower hall step by step. She was a concubine and should have visited the princess every morning and evening, but she never took that silly sister seriously. The reason she was close to her in the past was just to see Xiao Yichen more.
Zi Su, the maidservant beside her, said, "Princess, don't be angry. I have inquired this morning. Although the prince did not punish that idiot last night, he also hated her. He was so angry with that idiot that he stayed in the study room all night to calm down. In terms of talent and appearance, you are the best candidate for Princess Chen. The prince was reluctant to ignore you. It must be that something delayed the prince last night."
Listening to the comforting words, Ji Yuqing still felt upset. She always felt that something was wrong. Why didn't that fool die last night
The flower hall was right in front of her. The smile that Ji Yuqing was trying to put on her face seemed a little stiff, because she saw that the person sitting in the flower hall was not Xiao Yichen but Ji Lingxue, the fool she hated the most.
Ji Lingxue ate breakfast contentedly under the service of her maid Mo Xiang. Her movements were very elegant and her eyes were bright and lively, which did not look like that of a fool at all.
Ji Yuqing's heart skipped a beat, but she still walked into the flower hall and sat down opposite Ji Lingxue naturally, "Sister, you got up really early today!"
Ji Lingxue raised her black eyes and glanced at Ji Yuqing. It was just a glance, but she felt a chill on her back.
Ji Yuqing asked tentatively: "Sister...what's wrong with you?" Could it be that the poison was too strong and she lost her memory directly
Ji Lingxue asked: "I heard from Mo Xiang that the concubine is just a concubine. Why didn't she kneel down and offer tea to me when she saw me? She has no manners at all?"
Ji Yuqing stood up suddenly, pointing at Ji Lingxue with a trembling finger, "You... who are you?" How could the person in front of her be a fool? His logic was so clear, completely different from the way he spoke to her before.
Mo Xiang stepped forward and stood in front of Ji Lingxue, scolding, "Concubine Qing, is this how you treat the mistress of the palace?"
Ji Yuqing's voice trembled a little, "Mo Xiang, are you crazy? The person in front of you is not your sister... It's clearly someone pretending to be you." That fool would never speak so long with such a sharp look.
Ji Lingxue was not angry. She finished the bowl in her hand in one breath, then put the bowl down, took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, looked at Ji Yuqing who was staring at her as if she had seen a ghost with amusement, and said slowly and clearly, "I remember clearly what my sister did to me. You came to Prince Chen's Mansion under the pretext of visiting me in order to meet your own brother-in-law and steal your own sister's woman. You even degraded yourself and were willing to be a concubine. The day before the wedding, you came to me at leisure and said you had something delicious for me to eat... But I passed out after eating it. My dear sister, can you tell me, what happened?"
