Chapter 225 Do you want to meet?
Hearing his sister's words, Jiang Bu stopped, but he was still anxious. He looked back at Jiang Li, his eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness. Jiang Li shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Alas, how come men and women who fall in love become so impulsive and blind, and even lose their basic rationality?"
"Also, I must remind you solemnly that if you really get together with Sister Mu, the forces in the capital will probably become more and more complicated. Think about it, Sister Mu is not an ordinary person. Behind her is a Northwest Army consisting of a full 100,000 strong army! This force is so powerful that it is enough to attract people's attention. Let's talk about our second brother. He has made many outstanding achievements in the northern border area. And our uncle has been sticking to the southern border to ensure peace. These networks are intertwined. Once you have established a relationship with Sister Mu, the interests involved will be more than a little bit."
Jiang Li told him everything he could think of in one breath, fearing that he would miss something. At this moment, Jiang Bu quietly stared at the little sister in front of him whom he had taken care of since she was a child. Unconsciously, the little girl who once needed his care had gradually grown up, and now she was as graceful and beautiful as a blooming flower.
Especially after hearing what his sister said just now, Jiang Bu couldn't help but feel emotional, and even a little ashamed of himself. It turned out that without realizing it, his sister had not only changed in appearance, but also in mind, and she looked at problems more deeply and thoroughly than he did.
"Thank you, Li'er!" Jiang Bu took a step forward slowly and gently hugged Jiang Li. Although it was only a brief moment, it was full of endless warmth and comfort for Jiang Bu. Since he was five years old, his eldest brother had always taught him the difference between men and women. Since then, the brothers have never hugged their sister as intimately as they did when they were young. However, what he didn't expect was that now that time has passed, his sister has grown up and has come to enlighten him.
Jiang Li looked at her third brother's dejected back as he walked away, and she couldn't help but feel worried. However, she knew that this matter was not something she could intervene to solve, and they could only handle it on their own. Just as her thoughts were in a mess, the words that Sister Mu said in the afternoon suddenly appeared in her mind: "Does the Ninth Prince like you?" These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in her heart, making her already troubled mood even more restless.
She subconsciously reached out and touched her hot cheeks, only to feel a surge of heat rushing up, as if to burn her whole body. Could it be... Could it be that the Ninth Prince really has feelings for her? As soon as this thought came to her mind, she quickly suppressed it. Impossible! She clearly remembered that in her previous life, this powerful regent had always been alone, and she had never heard of him having any emotional entanglement with any woman. Even Su Xiluo was just some groundless rumors circulating in the circle of noble ladies in the capital.
So, should she ask the Ninth Prince for clarification? If she asked rashly, it would be embarrassing if the facts turned out to be wrong; but if she didn't ask, she would feel itchy like a cat scratching her, and she was really curious. Just when Jiang Li was in a dilemma, all kinds of scenes from the past began to emerge in front of her like a tide.
Since she was reborn, every moment she spent with the Ninth Prince was vivid in her mind. Whether it was saving her in times of crisis or taking care of her in daily life, it seemed that everything was arranged by him in an orderly and proper manner. And whenever she faced difficulties and dangers, he was always the first to step forward and protect her. Thinking of this, Jiang Li's heart became more and more entangled. Is this legendary cold-blooded regent really in love with her?
She lay quietly on the soft bed, her eyes involuntarily looking at Shi Liu who was keeping watch on the couch next to her. She was hesitant whether to meet that person. After all, she was always impatient, and if she didn't figure this out thoroughly, she might not be able to sleep tonight.
After a lot of inner struggle, she finally made up her mind, slowly sat up, and then called out softly: "Pomegranate..."
As a martial artist, Shi Liu's hearing was naturally very sharp. Almost at the moment the sound was heard, he immediately stood up and walked quickly to the bedside.
"Miss, you called me, but is there anything you need me to do?" Pomegranate asked respectfully.
Jiang Li opened her mouth and wanted to say what she really thought, but she suddenly changed the subject and said, "Shi Liu, can you tell me how you dealt with the Regent of Jincheng last time?" In fact, she was thinking about something else in her heart, but because she felt a little shy, she was embarrassed to let Shi Liu pass the message on for her.
Shi Liu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied, "My lady, Jin Cheng is still imprisoned in the dungeon of the palace. According to the prince's order, he will be punished every day, but at the same time, he cannot be allowed to die easily."
"Why did the young lady suddenly ask about him?" Shi Liu looked at her young lady in surprise, full of doubts. You know, the young lady never showed any interest in that man.
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of it." Jiang Li smiled slightly, her eyes flashing with an elusive light, as if hiding some secrets. Then, she slowly said: "Since he has been punished, let him go. After all... he is the 'favorite' of Concubine Jin!" When she said the last few words, Jiang Li deliberately emphasized the tone, which made people think of the complicated relationship.
After hearing this, Shi Liu frowned and said worriedly, "I'm afraid the prince won't agree to this. After all, you suffered so much because of him." Thinking of the scene at that time, Shi Liu couldn't help but feel sorry for the suffering of her young lady. When the prince learned about this, he was furious and personally ordered the man to be imprisoned in the dungeon and severely punished. Now it is harder than climbing to the sky to make the prince change his mind and release the man.
However, Jiang Li didn't seem to care about all this. She shook her head gently, raised a mysterious smile at the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "That won't work. If we don't get him out, how will things develop later?" After saying that, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, as if everything was under her control.
It turned out that Jiang Li had already made her own plans. With Jin Cheng as a "handle" in hand, she believed that the fate between Liu Jiaojiao and the third prince would end here. And the reason why she was so keen on "matching" these two people together was naturally for some ulterior motive...
