A Woman Is A Chess Piece
Ji Muqing was so shocked that she was tender on the inside.
She gritted her teeth, "You wretched girl, how dare you speak nonsense on behalf of an outsider. I've really raised you for nothing."
"Your Highness, this servant is speaking the truth!"
"Wretched girl, you …"
"Enough." Jing Yi's head hurt from the ruckus.
He hated these kinds of affairs between women the most. He'd already married Ji Muqing for his great cause, thinking that this woman would be more peaceful after receiving the title of Princess Consort. Who would've thought that there would be a small matter every day and a big one every three days? He really wanted nothing more than to ascend the throne and kill this woman.
Ji Muqing looked at Jing Yi with teary eyes. "Your Highness, please believe me. This concubine is not lying."
"Then why would your maid lie? This girl followed you here from the General's Estate as part of your dowry. Logically speaking, she should be helping you. Why would she say that she didn't see it? "
"This concubine …"
"Enough. No matter what, you are not allowed to pursue this matter any further. This kind of thing is not allowed to happen again in the Prince's Estate," Jing Yi ordered.
Ji Muqing shut her mouth.
Meanwhile, Jing Yi glanced at Chen Xiang. "You should stop crying and leave. Don't disturb Princess Consort's rest."
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Chen Xiang also stood up and left with Jing Yi.
More than half of the people in the room had left. It was much more spacious and quiet now.
However, Cailan could not stop nagging.
As expected, Ji Muqing's gaze landed on her. "Come here."
Cailan stepped forward and walked over.
"Kneel."
Jing Yi chided her.
Cailan hurriedly knelt.
"Spare me, Princess Consort."
Bam! Ji Muqing raised her uninjured hand and swung it down harshly.
This woman was indeed a superior primate. Even though she was covered in injuries and gritted her teeth in pain, she still had the strength to knock someone to the ground.
Cailan was half-lying on the ground, but she hurriedly got up and knelt properly. She had already thought of the consequences when she decided to say those words.
"Spare me? Now you know how to spare me? "
"Princess Consort, this servant really didn't see it."
"You're my man. Whatever I tell you to say, you have to say! Now, His Highness thinks that I'm messing around and that I'm full of nonsense. What do you want me to do in the future? That woman has the upper hand now. "
"It's my fault. At that time, I was too scared, so I said those words. Princess, please forgive me."
Ji Muqing glared at her and hollered, "Get out! All of you, get out!"
If you can scram, why don't you scram? Stay and get beaten!
As soon as she said that, everyone in the room really went out.
She was left sitting on the bed alone.
He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.
She was sobbing uncontrollably.
This grievance was worse than being alone in an empty room on her wedding night.
…
On the way back from the courtyard, Jing Yi suddenly dismissed the people following him, leaving behind only Chen Xiang, who had just finished crying.
As soon as the servants left, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Xiang's slender neck, slamming her into a nearby tree.
It pressed him down on top of it.
Chen Xiang's eyes were filled with fear. She desperately tried to pull away from the hand around her neck.
She begged with much difficulty, "Your … Your Highness … spare …"
Her throat was short of oxygen!
Her face was red from suffocation.
"This prince warned you before, you can play, but don't go overboard. Did you not understand this prince's words, or are you trying to go against this prince's will?" His eyes were filled with rage, and a ball of raging fire was gathering in them.
"Ugh …" Chen Xiang couldn't breathe.
Seeing that her eyes were about to roll back into her head, Jing Yi released her.
Her entire body was numb, and her arms and legs were weak. In the end, she collapsed to the ground, unable to get up no matter how hard she tried. She clutched at her neck, which had several bloody marks on it, and coughed violently.
Jing Yi looked down at her from above.
"Listen up, before this prince ascends to the throne, you'd better not touch her. Otherwise, this prince will take your life!"
Chen Xiang finally managed to catch her breath. She grabbed Jing Yi's robes with all her might and raised her head to look at him. "Your Highness, this concubine … didn't do anything. Believe me."
Which man would not be moved by such a lovely and moving woman and not feel heartache when they see her?
However, Jing Yi was different. In his eyes, women were just chess pieces. When they were used, they would be placed on the chessboard, and when they weren't, they would be returned to the chess cup.
They could even be destroyed.
At least for now, Ji Muqing still had value to him, so nothing could happen to her. However, this woman in front of him only had a mesmerizing face, a potted flower that he kept by his side. If he didn't like her, he could cut her off at any time.
He kicked the woman at his feet away and stared coldly at Chen Xiang's teary eyes. "What are you thinking? What do you want to do? This prince knows everything. You can hide from others, but you can't hide from this prince's eyes. If not for the fact that you've been by this prince's side for so many years, I would've had someone chop off your hands and feet just now. "
Her face was pale, and her round eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
"If there's a next time, I'll take your life."
Jing Yi flung his sleeves and left with a humph.
Chen Xiang was left sitting on the ground, looking battered and exhausted.
She pressed her fingers against the ground and tightened her grip on the dirt.
She couldn't accept it.
She won because she had a mesmerizing face!
She lost because she didn't have a powerful father!
… …
The next day, Jing Yi sent for Ji Li, saying that he had something important to discuss with him.
However, when Ji Li arrived at Prince Yi's estate early in the morning, he didn't go to see Jing Yi first. Instead, he went to Ji Muqing's courtyard.
When he arrived, the maids in the courtyard were especially nervous.
Everyone knew that War Secretary Ji Li was a stern and unsmiling man. His eyes couldn't tolerate even a grain of sand. His eyes seemed to always be filled with a murderous aura, preventing people from approaching him.
This time, everyone was afraid of something else.
The Princess Consort was injured yesterday!
Ji Li entered the room and happened to bump into Cailan, who was carrying a bowl of medicine out. Seeing him suddenly appear, Cai's hands trembled, and even the empty bowl on the plate trembled.
Clang!
Ji Li's brows tightened involuntarily. He stared at her for a moment, then his gaze fell on the bowl of medicine in her hands. "Whose medicine is this?"
Brother, whose medicine do you think it's?
Your sister's medicine, of course!
She's sick!
And she's so sick that she's about to die!
Cailan lowered her head. "This … This is the Princess Consort's medicine."
"What happened to the Princess Consort?"
"The Princess Consort, she …" He stammered.
Ji Li was anxious. He quickly stepped in and saw Ji Muqing leaning against the bed. Her face was pale, and her head and shoulders were bandaged.
"Big Brother?" Ji Muqing was surprised.
"What happened to you?" Ji Li asked worriedly.
Ji Muqing was a prideful person. Naturally, she wouldn't say that she was bullied, so she lied, "I accidentally fell when I woke up last night."
Her face wasn't red, and her heart wasn't racing!
She said it as if it were the truth.
Ji Li was skeptical. "How did you fall and end up like this?"
"I can't help it. I just fell like this."
"Has His Highness been here?"
Ji Muqing paused for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Of course he has. His Highness treats me very well. When he found out that I was injured, he ordered people to bring me a lot of tonics and even stayed with me for a while."
It was because her words were so sincere that Ji Li really believed her. After all, this difficult sister of his could only bully others. How could anyone bully her?
