"Hmm …"
Huijun's face quickly turned red. She furrowed her brows as if she was enduring great pain.
She grabbed Jiang Pengji's sleeves with both hands and curled up her body like a prawn. Her skin was covered with a thin layer of sweat. She looked very helpless and pitiful. One could not help but feel pity for her … Jiang Pengji blinked her eyes. Her mind, which had yet to waver, calmed down again.
The System said, "Host, you're digging your own grave. You've seen her at her worst. Aren't you afraid that she'll harm you once she gains power? "
"You have to know that some people in this world deserve to be trusted, and some don't." Jiang Pengji curled her lips and said firmly, "It's obvious that Huijun has the right to be trusted by me. I won't doubt someone I trust, unless she betrays me. "
It was not an easy task to plot against Jiang Pengji.
"You saying such naive words only proves that you don't understand people's hearts well enough." The System said coldly, "Human nature is very complicated. The person in front of you is obviously not someone of noble character and unquestionable integrity. Host, you did pull her out from the lowest point of her life. She will indeed be grateful to you and want to repay you with her body. But once she gets to a higher place, this experience will be a dark history that she needs to erase. "
Jiang Pengji laughed mockingly. "You're a System, and you want to teach me what human nature is?"
The System choked hard at her words.
If it had an expression, its face would be as black as ink and as gloomy as water.
After a while, the System spoke in a strange tone.
"Actually, host, you shouldn't have satisfied her request just now. She already knows your gender."
Jiang Pengji asked, "Why?"
The System said, "According to the analysis of the System's data, this woman adores you and admires you. If you didn't expose your gender, she would still be immersed in it. Many facts have proven that women who have a place to return to are far easier to control than women who have no attachments. If she really falls in love with you, she'll work for you for free. Aren't you afraid that she'll turn evil and take the opportunity to stab you? "
This time, Jiang Pengji laughed.
She thought she was shameless enough, but she didn't expect the System's true colors to be so hateful.
"I think you seem to have misunderstood." Jiang Pengji shook her finger and said seriously, "First of all, it's a fair deal between me and Huijun. I'll give her glory and wealth and help her pave the way to the top. In return, she'll work for me and help me achieve my goals. It's only fair. If he used fake feelings to deceive and restrain her, it would be considered as emotional fraud. In my opinion, this is a method that only scum would choose. "
The System said that Huijun was in love with her, and Jiang Pengji could tell.
It was precisely because of this that she agreed to Huijun's request in order to sever her thoughts.
It would have been fine if he didn't know about it. However, he clearly knew that Huijun was interested in him, yet he pretended not to know about it. He allowed the other party to carry the misunderstanding and become the bride of the Liu residence's younger sister's concubine. According to the plan, he would walk the path of a "demoness who brings disaster to the country". If he wasn't scum, then what was he?
Jiang Pengji didn't have any moral values, but she couldn't bring herself to bully the feelings of the weak.
On the other hand, the System that made such a suggestion …
Hehe, that's all you've got.
There was nothing to fear.
Huijun slept soundly for the entire night, almost dreamless until daybreak.
Ever since she could remember, she didn't know that she could sleep so peacefully and so relaxed.
She got up in a daze, and the unfamiliar blanket covering her slid down as she moved. She couldn't help but be startled.
Looking around, she realized that the furnishings were very clean and neat, and there was a faint fragrance of incense in the air.
It didn't look like a lady's boudoir at all.
"Are you awake, Miss?"
An unfamiliar female voice came from outside the room. Huijun pursed her lips and said cautiously, "Yes."
She had already guessed who the room belonged to.
Taxue pushed the door open, and a few maids followed behind her. They carried copper basins, towels, and other things, and silently helped Huijun wash up.
"Miss, you're really pretty."
One of the maids was stunned and couldn't help but murmur. There was a hint of infatuation in her eyes.
Huijun frowned, feeling puzzled.
She knew that she was pretty, but it shouldn't be to the extent that the servants of the Liu residence would be so dazed, right?
Looking at the lady in the mirror, Huijun's eyes were filled with hesitation.
Her face was still the same, and her facial features were still the same, but for some reason, there was something more than the day before that made her even more bewitching.
After washing up, Huijun secretly calculated in her heart, feeling a little apprehensive.
"Your servant offended you yesterday, Langjun. Please forgive me."
When Huijun appeared on the screen of the streaming room, Jiang Pengji seemed to hear countless howls of wolves.
She smiled. She wasn't attracted by that bewitching aura, and her eyes were still clear.
"You're not guilty, so why do you need to forgive me? Do you want to sit down and eat with me? "
"Your servant will boldly accept your invitation."
In ancient times, there were very few varieties of breakfast. Even the gentry only ate a little more meticulously. However, the audience in the streaming room expressed that even if they had watched it for a few years, they still wouldn't get tired of it. Moreover, there was a classical beauty today. She was a feast for the eyes, and they could eat a few more meat buns just by looking at her.
The two of them finished their breakfast in silence, and Jiang Pengji dismissed the other servants.
"Do you know what to do in the future?"
Huijun thought about it and said, "Help the Second Niangzi gain favor and fight for the Fourth Prince's favor?"
After all, she was a bride accompanying the bride. Apart from that, she really didn't know what else she could do.
However, if that was all, it wouldn't explain the amount of effort the Liu's had invested in her.
"No, in fact, this has nothing to do with my sister," Jiang Pengji said calmly.
Nothing to do with it?
Huijun heard that and her heart skipped a beat. She vaguely understood something.
She didn't know about the fight for the throne, and she didn't know which prince was more likely to ascend to the throne in the future. However, since she was going to be a "beauty who brought disaster to the country," she would naturally be by the Emperor's side and attract all of his attention. She wanted him to be infatuated with her, to the point where he would disregard the laws of the country.
The Liu's had arranged for her to be a bride accompanying the bride. It was probably not to invest in the Fourth Prince.
"Your servant heard that the Emperor is in good health …" she probed.
The Emperor was in good health, which meant that the Emperor had many more years to live. It wouldn't be the time for the princes to covet the throne.
If she guessed correctly, she wanted her to seduce the Fourth Prince and use Wuma Jun to go to the Emperor's side?
Huijun's eyes flashed and her expression changed slightly. Jiang Pengji knew that she had guessed the truth. She nodded slowly.
"Your servant understands."
She took a deep breath and showed the expression of a brave man who had made a decision.
"The princess of the Second Prince is the princess of the Northern Borderline. Her name is An Yina. She's about the same age as you, but she's very scheming. "
Jiang Pengji deliberately mentioned it, and Huijun understood.
"Your servant will deal with this person cautiously."
Jiang Pengji said, "Don't be afraid. You just need to enjoy your life. As for the rest, you can do whatever you want. "
"Your servant isn't afraid. It's worth it to enjoy one more day …"
