A cold was something that could kill a person if it got serious.
If Jiang Pengji did not die in the hands of the men of sacrifice, but instead was beheaded by a cold, it would be too ridiculous.
Yan Lin frowned.
"Zhengze, don't you think this cold came at the right time?"
As long as Jiang Pengji handled it properly, the matter would be resolved in the blink of an eye.
Yang Tao said, "How could she pretend to be sick in front of so many doctors? It's just a minor illness. Who doesn't take some medicine? "
Yan Lin shook his head.
"Anything ordinary feels unnatural when it comes to this person."
Just as Yang Tao had said, the kamikaze warriors had not harmed her at all, but she had fallen sick that night.
Yang Tao laughed. "Once bitten, twice shy. Liu Lanting is not that evil. Don't worry, she's human. "
Yan Lin rubbed his brows and said in a low voice, "Maybe I'm overthinking."
"Shaoyang's suspicions are reasonable. Liu Lanting was ambushed in the morning and fell sick the next day. If the Nan family of Fen Prefecture hears about it, they will probably think that it's a cover-up. If they get caught because of this, the Nan family will not die a wrongful death. "
Yan Lin could not help but look at his friend.
Not bad, this analysis actually made sense.
"Whether Liu Xi is really sick or not, the Nan family is doomed," Yan Lin said in a low voice. "Liu Xi pretended to be sick and led his troops to attack Huang Song's rear. Now he's sick and the Nan family is digging their own grave. What a coincidence … "
Yang Tao could not help but ask, "Shaoyang, why do you call him by his name in private?"
Yan Lin said, "I'm not the only one."
Qian Su and a few of Yang Tao's old officials called him "Lord Liu" in public, but they still called him "Liu Xi" in private.
Why?
It was all because of Yang Tao.
It was just a title. As long as Yan Lin and the others were not disloyal, Jiang Pengji would not hold it against them.
Yang Tao said, "I'm worried about you. Liu Lanting is sometimes broad-minded, but sometimes she's narrow-minded. "
Yan Lin's heart warmed. He smiled and said, "I know what I'm doing. I won't give her a chance to do anything."
Whether in the past or now, Yan Lin's interests were tied to Yang Tao's.
Jiang Pengji had hurt Yan Lin and weakened Yang Tao. Yan Lin would never allow that to happen.
At the same time, Wei Ci, who had been in a one-sided "cold war" with Jiang Pengji for the whole night, blew on the boiled medicine to cool it down and brought it to her.
Jiang Pengji couldn't help but feel the bitterness on her tongue when she smelled the medicine, but she couldn't do anything about it. She could only pinch her nose and drink it in one breath.
"Cough cough … How much goldthread did the doctor put in? It's so bitter …"
Wei Ci said, "There is no Chinese goldthread in the medicine."
Jiang Pengji said, "It's also very bitter. Even the root of the tongue is bitter. Try it if you don't believe me."
She pointed at her lips, and Wei Ci could not help but turn his head away.
Wei Ci was well aware that Old Concubine's' taste 'was naturally not to taste the dregs.
"I'm sick, but you don't even treat me well. Sad."
Jiang Pengji drooped her head and accused Wei Ci in a hoarse voice, trying to pass the matter over.
Wei Ci sighed, and there was some helplessness in his tone.
"My lord, are you really sick?"
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
Wei Ci said, "You've forgotten that I've been with you for more than 20 years in your previous life. Whether you're really sick or pretending to be sick, outsiders don't know, doctors and medical officials don't know, but I, as the person who sleeps by your side, know. My lord, are you trying to rely on pretending to be sick to make me forget about yesterday's matter? "
"Ah!"
Jiang Pengji could not help but pull the blanket higher to cover her head.
She said gloomily, "I'm not pretending to be sick to fool you …"
Wei Ci said, "My lord, are you trying to say that you spread the rumor that you have a cold and used it to mislead the Nan family of Fen Prefecture? To lure the snake out of its hole? "
It was such a coincidence that the Nan family might misunderstand that Jiang Pengji was really dead or seriously injured. In order not to cause panic, they used illness as a cover. When Jiang Pengji returned last night, the sky was already dark, and there was basically no one along the way. Except for a few confidants, no one else knew that Jiang Pengji had become a hands-off boss yesterday. As long as the news was blocked in time, the possibility of the Nan family being deceived was very high.
But Wei Ci dared to guarantee with his head that this was definitely not the main reason for her pretending to be sick. Others would think carefully before taking action, but she would think about how to make up for the loophole after taking action. She could even deceive everyone's judgment and create an image of being thoughtful and cunning.
Her escape route was blocked by Wei Ci, so Jiang Pengji naturally had nothing to say.
Wei Ci said, "I'm not saying this to criticize you, my lord. I just hope that you know my attitude towards this matter … No, I should say my attitude towards similar incidents. Back then, His Majesty disregarded his own safety and repeatedly put himself in danger. Although it was also for the peace of the court and to eliminate thieves and trifles, the sacrifice was too great. In the end, when His Majesty had just reached the age of Knowing Destiny, he was like a dragon in heaven. Back then, I did not have the courage to stop and advise him. It is still a matter of regret to this day. In this life, since you have given me the courage, there are some words that cannot be kept in my heart. There is no harm in saying them out. "
Jiang Pengji was silent for a long time. She blinked her eyes and looked at him sincerely.
"I will change."
Wei Ci's expression softened slightly. "My lord does not need to make any guarantees to me. No one can restrain you except my lord."
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
If she had known that she would end up like this after acting recklessly, she would have thought more before doing anything.
"If I may be so bold as to say, you are my lord, our backbone, and the future ruler of the world. Your life and death is not only your own business, but also the fate of countless people in the world." Wei Ci said, "On the battlefield, you are not required to be more capable than a general in charging and breaking through enemy lines, nor are you required to be more resourceful and resourceful than a strategist. These things are just icing on the cake. If not, they are harmless. To us, the Lord's safety is a miraculous elixir that is more magical than any tranquilizer. Do you understand? "
Jiang Pengji thought of the old chief's words last night and naturally understood what he meant.
Different positions, different roles, and different actions and words were also different.
When she was a feudal lord, everyone could tolerate it. In the future, if she did not change when her status improved, sooner or later, there would be discord and discord.
Jiang Pengji thought that she had changed a lot. She restrained herself and greatly reduced the frequency of her wandering on the battlefield. However, in the eyes of Wei Ci and the others, she still did not do enough. It was good to have a lord who was good at fighting, but how could her subordinates feel at ease if she casually fell into a dangerous situation because of her strong martial arts?
No one in this world could hurt her, but what about the federation?
The marshal, the feudal lord, and the emperor were similar in some aspects.
Wei Ci saw that she did not speak, so he softened his voice and said, "I am not being bold and presumptuous, nor am I overstepping my authority to restrain my lord …"
Jiang Pengji said, "I understand. I was not very mature in the past. It was my fault. You were just advising me bluntly."
