The noble lady who wears books has to fight monsters and upgrade

Chapter 482 Father and son kill each other
At this moment, the "successor of the Saint with the strongest cultivation" mentioned by Ji Yin was making a deal with the Second Prince's Concubine Zou.

The two looked at each other with a wary, arrogant and forced kindness.

Shaoyao looked at the two of them and was deeply impressed! They just stared at each other, well, their eyes were not small, but they had been staring at each other for a cup of tea!

Do you want to continue reading?
Compare endurance?

The lady said that she was here to discuss a deal with Concubine Zou, and whoever spoke first would lose! When doing business, you have to be patient!

A lady is a lady! She can hold it in! If it were me, I would definitely ask first if I couldn't hold it in!
Finally, Concubine Zou spoke first.

"Miss Ji, you won't regret it, will you? I also know that doing this is really difficult for you, but we have already agreed before, and I have fulfilled my promise. I told you the whereabouts of Concubine He without reservation. Moreover, now there is nothing unusual in the mansion. His Highness has acquiesced to this matter. Miss Ji, are you also..."

Concubine Zou took a porcelain bottle from the maid beside her, put it on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Ji Yun.

Shaoyao's eyes widened! No wonder Concubine He was detained in "Good Neighbor" for so long, and there was no movement from the Second Prince!

It turns out that this concubine is helping the young lady!

Is she so kind?

Oh, I see! Once Concubine He is dead, she will be able to take the throne! Just like when the crown prince dies, the second prince and several other princes will have a chance!

Ji Yun smiled, looking calm and composed.
"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Ji Yun took the porcelain bottle in his hand, looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After Concubine He was stabbed by Ji Yin in "Good Neighbor", Ji Yin wanted to teach Concubine He a lesson, give her some drug that would make her drowsy and weak, then put her in a sack and throw her into some corner of the Second Prince's mansion.

Even if they hated Concubine He as an accomplice and lackey, they couldn't easily kill her! As long as Concubine He's "destructive power" was abolished, what did it matter whether Concubine He died or not?
Just like Concubine Jiao.

However, unexpectedly, Concubine Zou found Ji Yun.
"Miss Ji, Concubine He doesn't need to go back to the Prince's Mansion! She messed up His Highness's business, and she won't survive if she goes back. I asked His Highness for grace and dealt with Concubine He myself. Now, Concubine He is handed over to you. You don't have to worry about the Prince's Mansion. No one will care about this Concubine He in your store anymore. His Highness will not mention her again, and her He family will not come to look for this "Concubine He" in your store. Do you understand? But I need your blood to resist the "Disguise Gu". After all, I don't want to see several people who can replace me appear in this world at any time! Let's make a deal, okay?"

Of course I understand, but Concubine He is a useless dog.

When the Second Prince wanted to abandon Concubine He even early on, he was already prepared to let Concubine He "take the blame".

That "disguise Gu" is actually Concubine He's death warrant.

What’s funny is that Concubine He actually thought that this “disguise Gu” was her “ladder to heaven”!
If you don't have the devil's qualifications and support, don't try to make a deal with the devil.

He thought that by being the Second Prince's lackey, he would gain the bargaining chip to compete with the Second Prince.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, lackeys had no place at the celebration banquet, unless they became food on the plate!
Ji Jun was puzzled.
"Since the Second Prince has already given up Concubine He, why do you need to make a deal with me?"

The Second Prince tricked Concubine He into "testing the Gu", and now, he has given up on Concubine He. Concubine He is already dead.

What else can Concubine Zou show off?
What's more, Concubine He is a waste to the Second Prince, and she won't be of much value to them sisters!

Concubine Zou noticed Ji Yun's confusion and sighed worriedly, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes that she couldn't hide.

"It is a taboo for the royal family to use Gu, but Sister He Fei refused to listen. There is nothing we can do but let Sister He Fei do whatever she wants! His Highness is very angry, but after all, they are husband and wife, so he has to give Sister He some dignity. Anyway, there is a substitute for Sister in the mansion, so Sister's reputation will not be tarnished."

Ji Jun sneered,
"Your Highness is really calculating! He spent all the money and coaxed them into testing Gu for him. He poisoned my sister and me. When the plan failed, he dumped them and took the blame for him. He still has many wives and concubines and is rich and prosperous! Although Concubine He is cold and ruthless to my sister and me, and can be called cruel and ruthless, she is sincere to Your Highness. Your Highness treats her like this. Doesn't the Concubine feel heartbroken? Doesn't she feel sad for the loss of the rabbit?"

Concubine Zou's beautiful eyes were filled with gloating light, and her undisguised smile made her face look like a steamed bun just out of the pot.
"That's because she's stupid! She's the only one who gave birth to a daughter in the entire Prince's Mansion in all these years. As a result, she became so arrogant that she didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was! She thought that His Highness gave me and the other concubines contraceptives for her sake. She thought that His Highness only had her in his heart! So, when His Highness didn't want to do something but needed someone to take the blame, others would avoid it, but she would squeeze forward with all her might. Now, for His Highness, she almost ruined her family's entire fortune and her own life. This is what she asked for! No one forced her!"

Ji Yun was shocked when he heard this!

Could it be that the Second Prince is not good in that aspect?

Or, the Second Prince has a concubine in his mansion, and his own children are raised outside? This is what Ji Yin guessed. If he wanted to paralyze Concubine He or others, since he had the "disguise Gu", he could take the pregnant concubines out of the mansion and leave their substitutes in the mansion.

However, if this is true, Ji Yun feels that the Second Prince is not simply trying to hide it from Concubine He.

Concubine He is not worth the Second Prince's attention.

Seeing Ji Yun's eyes darting around with a raging fire of gossip in his eyes, Concubine Zou roughly guessed what Ji Yun was thinking, but did not point it out.

Concubine Zou stopped talking and stared at Ji Yun, then looked at the small bottle in her hand. Ji Yun put away his smile, opened the bottle stopper, and then took out a small dagger about three inches long wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve!
This was specially customized for her by Li Mi according to her requirements.

Apart from anything else, it can be used for self-defense and is more lethal than hairpins!

In this era, the most expensive materials for hairpins were gold, silver, or jade.

If the price is cheap and the materials are easy to obtain, or even free of charge, you can get materials from anywhere, such as wood or bamboo!
More special things like ox horns, ivory, stones, and shells are also used as raw materials.

However, these things, no matter how sharp they are, are not weapons after all. Especially some materials are not hard enough, such as gold jewelry.

What's more, it's made of jade and can easily break if you apply too much force!
Ji Yun guessed that being stabbed by a hairpin was largely due to the right time, place and people.

For example, the hairpin happens to be sharp, the person who hurts the person has a certain amount of strength, and then, the step is speed!

However, since Ji Yun wanted to use a small portable item for self-defense, a hairpin was not a good choice.

Ji Yun used a small dagger to cut the skin on the back of her wrist. There was a tiny blood vessel there. She didn't dare to pierce the place where a larger artery or vein passed. If the bleeding didn't stop, it would be a waste of time.

The red blood dripped into the porcelain bottle bit by bit.

Concubine Zou and the maidservant beside her stared intently, not daring to look away, as if if they did, Ji Yun would switch places!
Shaoyao was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She didn't expect that this was what the lady meant by "business"!
However, she remembered Ji Yun's warning and could only stand by unwillingly, extremely worried, and without saying a word.

The lady said,

"Peony, we have almost no bargaining chips to negotiate with the Second Prince except for the secret of your young lady. Therefore, we always passively take the beating. Now, my blood can pry open a gap in the Second Prince's mansion, it is completely worth it!"

"Peony, it seems that our 'good neighbor' is making a fortune, and other shops also have a lot of income, but even if all of this is given to the Second Prince, Duke Chen, or Concubine Jiao, they will not be moved in the slightest, and will not let the young lady go."

"We must know clearly what they want to do next so that we can prepare in advance and minimize the damage."

Peony's eyes were filled with tears.

She hated these people. Why did they bully her two young ladies? Was it just because they had no one to rely on?
Is it a sin to be “without support”? Can we be at the mercy of others?
They feel that they are powerful and omnipotent. Don’t they know that there is always someone better than you?
Aren't they afraid of encountering someone more powerful than them who will treat them the same way they treated the two young ladies?
They are now well-dressed and well-fed, with a house full of beautiful women, what else do they want?

Do you eat ginseng rice every day, use shark fin to brush your teeth, and use bird's nest to wash your feet?

Not afraid of dying of stuffiness!
When there were only a few drops left to fill the porcelain bottle, Ji Yun's blood suddenly stopped dripping.

Concubine Zou said anxiously when she saw it.

"What's wrong? Miss Ji! The bottle isn't full yet! Why don't you try cutting off the other arm?"

Shaoyao was so angry that tears immediately flew out. Look, how easy it is to say! Why don't you cut it?
Ji Yun shook his head to indicate that it was fine and there was no need to worry. Then he turned to Concubine Zou and said,
"Concubine Zou, what about the deal?"

Concubine Zou showed disgust in her eyes. It was just that short of it! Damn it!
Then, Concubine Zou smiled mockingly.
"Back then, the royal family and the ancestors of several dukes swore a blood oath for the safety of the people of the world. The ancestor of the Zhou family of several dukes was the emperor. However, this "blood oath" is actually a kind of "gu". The three masters were worried that there would be discord between the monarch and his subjects in the future, which would lead to the suffering of all people. So they put a spell in the "gu". If the royal family fails to love the people and trust their subjects, they will be attacked by this Gu! First, it will lead to the separation between the monarch and his subjects, and secondly, the discord between father and son."

As Concubine Zou spoke bit by bit, Ji Yun felt a chill all over her body. She thought carefully about the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the experiences of Duke Li and his son. She asked in a cold voice,

"Decades ago, there was a 'six-son struggle for the throne' in the royal family. Did this come true?"

Concubine Zou nodded.

Look at the porcelain bottle again.

Ji Jun hardened his heart and cut another scratch two centimeters above the original scratch!

The blood quickly filled the porcelain bottle.

Ji Yun raised his eyes, expressionless.

"Is that all right? Then what? What happens after the father and son fall out?"

Concubine Zou's face twitched stiffly, and then she showed an expression that seemed to be neither a smile nor a smile.

"Father and son killed each other, and the country changed hands!"
