If you don’t cherish the love we wear quickly, why are you crying if you change your mind?

Chapter 34 She quits being a substitute (34)

They had not seen each other for several days since the last time they said goodbye.

I only heard that things were turbulent in the court to establish the crown prince. Xiao Yi was destined to be in the whirlpool due to his high position. No wonder Zhao Rui was too busy to appear in front of her again.

Jiang Miao stood up and saluted, "Master Xiao."

Xiao Yi, a girl in a red dress and fair skin, hearing her say "Mr. Xiao" politely, was not as pleasant as the "Mr. Xiao" she said before.

"Miss Jiang is not busy studying in the medicine house, so why did she come to my palace?" Xiao Yi lifted his robe and sat down.

"I want to buy some medicinal materials from you." Jiang Miao calmly poured him a cup of hot tea.

The green smoke of hot tea curled up, and Xiao Yi glanced at her.

"You are treating the Prime Minister's wife. What medicinal materials do you want that Mr. Wang will not find for you?"

Jiang Miao's request was dismissed lightly by him.

She had no choice but to continue: "I heard that this medicine is only available in your house in the entire Zhao Kingdom."

Xiao Yi stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "If you want to get something from me, you have to pay me a satisfactory reward."

Jiang Miao saw that he was drinking tea with a normal expression, so he didn't care anymore.

"Then what do you want, Mr. Xiao? I will try my best if I can afford it."

"Let's change the name first."

"Huh?" Jiang Miao blinked before calling tentatively.

"My lord?"

Xiao Yi took a sip of tea and put down the tea cup without even moving his eyebrows.

Jiang Miao called softly, "Master Xiao?"

Only then did Xiao Yi raise his eyes, feeling that his heart was being heated by her calling him like this.

She even had the idea of ​​making her scream like this every day.

Best when.

Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Miao asked, "Can Master Xiao sell Coptis Coptis to me?"

"At any rate, I have known you for a while."

"So you can give this king a chance to trade with me." Xiao Yi nodded slightly, and then looked at her, "If it were anyone else, I would not waste my words."

"Does this king seem to be short of money?"

Jiang Miao lifted it in one breath, unable to go up or down. She could imagine why the courtiers who dealt with him wanted to kill him.

At this moment, she couldn't ignore Xiao Yi's gaze on her lips, which was too hot.

Jiang Miao stood up, wearing a vermilion skirt. The skirt was soft and waxy and swayed gently with her steps.

Xiao Yi watched her walk up to him, and he just sat upright with long legs and didn't say anything to urge her.

Jiang Miao couldn't do what he wanted. When she leaned over, her thin lips fell on his forehead.

Fleeting.

Xiao Yi looked at the girl who had quickly sat back down. When she came to her senses, she had already spoken.

"Please also ask Mr. Xiao to remember to send Coptis chinensis to Yaolu."

Xiao Yi's fingers slid back and forth on the surface of the tea cup, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the reward she gave him.

The charcoal fire in the stove made a soft "pop" sound, and the fragrance of plum blossoms from the garden floated into the pavilion with the wind, entwining between the two people's noses.

Xiao Yi's deep eyes looked at her tea-stained lips.

Jiang Miao saw him suddenly leaning over. She took a shaky breath and watched him slowly lower his head and approach.

His breath inevitably lingered.

Xiao Yi suddenly reached out and held her face, just when his lips were almost touching.

Jiang Miao's waist retreated, and the warmth in his palm suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Yi suddenly retracted his hands, his deep eyes flashed slightly, and glanced at her red ears before he straightened up.

Just as he turned his back, stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the red plum trees outside the pavilion.

The long sleeve moved slightly, and then was pulled by someone.

When he turned around, he saw the girl standing in front of him with her lips pursed.

Stepping forward a little, a rough kiss fell on his lips.

As soon as Jiang Miao put her foot down, Xiao Yi took the opportunity to hug her whole body, lowered her head and pursed her lips. The strong wind blew, and the red plum blossoms rolled into the pavilion and fell quietly on the shoulders of the two people.

Jiang Miao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her waist was clasped by broad hands. She already understood that Xiao Yi could no longer be satisfied by just tasting.

She couldn't push the man in front of her away, so she had to hold on to his strong arms tightly and let him bite her lips with pursed lips.

"Well"

Jiang Miao couldn't bear it and hid back. Xiao Yi's movements stopped for a moment, and he opened his eyes to see clear tears in the corners of her eyes.

He spoke in a mute voice, his heavy eyes falling on her eyelashes and her glistening lips.

"But you still don't want to?"

Jiang Miao held his arms and lowered her head silently.

She understood that Xiao Yi's question was not about asking for medicine. He wanted to seek more.

I don't know if she is a maid, a concubine, or a wife.

She wanted to find a position as a head wife, but he kept silent, so she couldn't keep silent.

This person has a high position of authority and is good at manipulating people's hearts. If he doesn't explain clearly, it's really hard for others to guess.

Xiao Yi looked at the woman in front of him who lowered his eyes and said nothing, and backed away, "If Miss Jiang doesn't want to, I will never do it."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Miao suddenly raised her head, stood up on her heels and bit his lip with some vent.

Take a hard bite.

If he were a zombie, he would have been kicked away by her!
  Jiang Miao's teeth were sharp, and the unexpected bite actually caused Xiao Yi's lip to bleed.

The sunlight outside the pavilion reflected the snow, shining brightly, and the sound of the small stove burning in the pavilion could not cover up the breathing of the two people.

"Ha." Xiao Yi chuckled. Looking at Jiang Miao was like looking at an angry rabbit. His lips hurt, but his mood became more and more joyful.

The thumb with the wrench touched the lip bitten by her, and then he looked down at the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

Xiao Yi suddenly had an idea.

A kiss now would force her to bite the bullet, but if they got married in the future, wouldn't it mean she would kill him?

"Why are you crying?"

Jiang Miao turned around and ignored him.

Xiao Yi turned his hands behind her and reached out to pinch her chin, "Look, it's me who was bitten."

"Tomorrow, I will have to go to court with this broken lip."

"If my colleagues ask me how I injured this place, how do you want me to answer?"

Jiang Miao's face heated up and her ears turned redder.

……

Jiang Miao didn't want to get entangled with Xiao Yi anymore, so she hurried back to Yaolu from the palace.

As soon as she entered Yaolu, Dong Yuanjing stared at her.

"Why is your face so red? Are you cold?"

"Why are your lips swollen?"

Jiang Miao turned around and knew: "It's okay."

Although Dong Yuanjing had grown taller, he was still young and had never married, so how could he know what was going on with Jiang Miao's lips.

Xiao Qi quickly sent the five-split coptis to the medicine house. Jiang Miao didn't hold it back and immediately made the antidote and sent it to Sheng Chunyue.

……

It was early in the morning when Jiang Miao arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Wang Wanyi was still sleeping. She had been feeling sleepy recently for some reason.

After Sheng Chunyue took the antidote, she felt refreshed and her physical discomfort was completely eradicated.

However, her heart was even more unhappy.

"Xiao Miao, I have a clue."

Jiang Miao took a few sips of tea and put down the cup. She was not surprised by Sheng Chunyue's methods. It was not difficult to find the traitor.

"Madam, please don't embarrass yourself. There is no equal balance between effort and reward in this world."
