Concubine Jinghua

Chapter 131 He Came For Other Women
Three days may be normal for ordinary people, but for a man and woman who are about to separate, it feels like years.

During these three days, except for going to court, Li Jianyang left all his time to Ji Chenxi.

The two watch the cherry blossoms together, look at the stars in the sky together, read books together, and...

In the early morning of the fourth day, Ji Chenxi had already changed into her luggage. Looking at Ji Chenxi in an elegant blue dress, Li Jianyang was deeply moved, and his reluctance still arose.

"I regret it."

Gently hugging Ji Chenxi in his arms, Li Jianyang whispered in her ear.

Ji Chenxi didn't speak, just quietly nestled in Li Jianyang's arms.

"Take care of yourself."

These were the only two words Ji Chenxi uttered when they parted. Although there were only two short words, they expressed all her feelings for Li Jianyang.

Li Jianyang sent Ji Chenxi to the parting carriage with his own hands, and watched the carriage disappear little by little before his eyes.

"Your majesty, why do you do this?" Ximenhan, who had been standing behind Li Jianyang, didn't understand why the two people who loved each other had to separate instead of staying together day and night.

Li Jianyang sighed softly.

"I can't afford the life Xi'er wants at this time. The only way to love her is to let go." Li Jianyang's deep voice was full of repressed pain, and only he could understand the bitterness in it.

Ji Chenxi's departure made many people very happy, especially Xiao Shen'er. When she learned from the nanny that Ji Chenxi had left the harem and that Li Jianyang personally issued a divorce letter, Xiao Shen'er's face finally revealed that She smiled happily, but she still worriedly called her confidant.

Whispering a few words in his ear, he let the person leave quickly.

After leaving the palace, Ji Chenxi greedily breathed in the fresh air outside.Looking at the lonely and silent Yan'er beside her, Ji Chenxi felt a little sorry.

"If you want to go back, it's still too late. I can have someone send you back to the palace. I believe he will order someone to take good care of you."

Yan'er shook her head, and tightly grasped Ji Chenxi's hand with both hands.

"Yan'er's life belongs to Miss. In this life, Yan'er and Miss Ding belong. Wherever Miss goes, Yan'er will go."

Yan'er's loyalty moved Ji Chenxi deeply.

The carriage drove for a whole day, and when it was about to get dark, the carriage stopped at an inn.

Yan'er carefully helped Ji Chenxi off the carriage, and helped her sit on the chair.

"Miss, have a glass of water."

Ji Chenxi nodded slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip. She knew that the people around her who escorted her to the south of the Yangtze River were all dead soldiers carefully selected by Li Jianyang. Even if there was danger, they would protect her.

Due to physical reasons, Ji Chenxi went back to the room to rest early.

Just now when he closed his eyes, all the good memories between himself and Li Jianyang appeared in front of his eyes, which made the corners of Ji Chenxi's petal-like mouth float a little bit of happiness.

"It seems that Li Jianyang still left some good memories for you." A man's voice made Ji Chenxi open his eyes.

"It really is you, I knew it, you have been following me."

Seeing Ghost Moon, Ji Chenxi didn't have any surprises. Since leaving the palace, Ji Chenxi found someone following him, but the follower didn't do anything to hurt her, so Ji Chenxi let him follow him all the way here.

"The last time you lost the antidote, you must have been in great pain. I sent you the antidote."

Ghost Moon delivered a pill with a faint fragrance to Ji Chenxi's hand.

Ji Chenxi snorted coldly, and shot the "Beauty Crisp" hidden between her fingernails towards Guiyue.

Even in default, Guiyue still saw the powder 'floating' in the air, he raised his sleeves indifferently, and put the powder in his sleeves one by one.

"You're still fooled."

Ji Chenxi still smiled slightly, and her smile seemed to put people in the spring breeze.

"It seems that I still underestimate you."

Guiyue's deep voice was mixed with a hint of pain.

"Don't break into my room easily in the future, or next time, it's not just a simple itching, maybe I will put something in it that can make you taste the pain."

Ji Chenxi said coldly, knowing that Ghost Moon would come, she prepared the 'Beauty Crisp' in advance, but in the Beauty Crisp, she deliberately added some itching powder that she prepared herself, although she would not kill Ghost Moon , but it can make him very itchy in a short time.

"Eat the antidote."

After finishing these words, Guiyue clutched her itchy right arm and flew out of the room.

Looking at Guiyue's leaving back, Ji Chenxi twitched her sexy red lips, her body was still as elegant as a distant mountain.

After leaving Li Jianyang's warm embrace, Ji Chenxi didn't sleep very peacefully that night. Unlike the last time when he threw away the antidote, this time Ji Chenxi obediently ate the antidote that Ghost Moon sent in the middle of the night.

After taking the antidote, her complexion obviously recovered a lot. Although she wasn't very flushed, she was no longer as pale as paper.

"Miss, try this quickly. Although this inn is not very big, the food is still very famous." Yan'er served Ji Chenxi considerately, lest she would eat less.

"Yan'er, there are no outsiders here, you can eat too."

Faced with Yan'er's overly enthusiastic greeting, Ji Chenxi was a little dumbfounded.

"But..." Yan'er wanted to say something, but Ji Chenxi suddenly pulled her to sit beside her.

"Eat quickly, if we arrive in Jiangnan one day earlier, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan one day earlier."

Yan'er nodded, picked up a fresh bamboo shoot, but still put it in Ji Chenxi's bowl first, and then took care of herself.

"Which beauty is this? Why haven't I seen it?" When the two masters and servants were eating, a frivolous voice broke the peaceful atmosphere.

Looking at the man in a floral dress who thought he was chic and chic, Ji Chenxi had a mocking look on his face.

"My son just likes women who think of themselves as noble, so it's fun to play like this." The folding fan in the man's hand boldly provoked Ji Chenxi's soft chin.

"Looking for death." Before Ji Chenxi could make a move, a dead man sitting on the table not far from her had already moved his fingers lightly, and a sharp wind of his fingers shot out, and the man lay on the ground uncontrollably.

"Ha..." Seeing the pretentious man just now lying on the ground like a dog eating shit, Yan'er couldn't help laughing out loud.

This kind of laughter completely angered the man, and the man quickly got up from the ground with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Yan'er, don't draw attention."

Yan'er stuck out her tongue, and quickly closed her mouth, but her laughter had already made the man angry, she raised her right hand, and mercilessly slapped Yan'er's face.

"Ah..." A heart-piercing scream rang out in everyone's ears.

Looking at the man lying on the ground again, Ji Chenxi subconsciously swept towards the table where the dead man was sitting, but they also looked bewildered.

"Miss, there seem to be many silver needles on his back." Following the direction Yan'er pointed, Ji Chenxi saw the densely packed silver needles on the man's back.

Ji Chenxi's sharp water eyes swept over all the people around him, and finally set his eyes on the back of the one who had just left.

Who is he?Why do you want to make a move?

Looking at the back that was getting further and further away, Ji Chenxi was full of doubts.From Yixi's back, Ji Chenxi can be sure that she doesn't know this man.

For this man who appeared and left strangely, a cold light flashed across Ji Chenxi's eyes.

Under the secret handling of the 'dead man', the small episode did not cause any fluctuations, and Ji Chenxi was still sitting in the sedan chair smoothly.

But those silver needles on the man's back that were as fine as raindrops made her fall into deep thought.

Along the way, under the protection of the dead men, Ji Chenxi did not encounter too much trouble. Five days later, Ji Chenxi and Yan'er came to Jiangnan under the escort of the dead men.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, Ji Chenxi's petal-like mouth curled into a faint smile.

"You can go back and report to your life. Tell him that I am fine. Please don't worry about me."

Ji Chenxi said softly to the dead men behind her, she knew that Li Jianyang needed the protection of these dead men even more.

"We are ordered by the emperor to stay and protect Miss Ji."

Ji Chenxi shook her head.

"Go back and protect him, he needs you more."

The dead soldiers glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to leave easily. After being by Li Jianyang's side for many years, how could they not know Ji Chenxi's position in Li Jianyang's heart?
"Go back quickly, once he makes a mistake, you will regret it."

Under Ji Chenxi's persuasion, several dead soldiers set off overnight to the capital, but they made all arrangements when they left.

"Miss, there are only two of us in this house, is it really okay?"

Facing the unfamiliar environment, Yan'er was a little scared, especially when there were only her and Ji Chenxi in the huge mansion.

"Don't worry, someone outside is secretly protecting us, and nothing will happen."

Although all the dead had already left, Ji Chenxi knew that before they left, he had ordered other people to guard the mansion in secret.

Hearing what Ji Chenxi said, Yan'er nodded in relief.

The peaceful life of Ji Chenxi and Yan'er lasted only three days.

On the fourth day, not long after the two of them woke up, there was a knock on the door. Yan'er hurriedly opened the door, and when she saw a man covered in blood outside, she gasped in shock and fell to the ground.

"Yan'er, what's the matter?" Ji Chenxi, who was sitting in the yard breathing the fresh air, hadn't seen Yan'er for a long time, so she couldn't help walking to the door anxiously.

"Miss, this..."

Yan'er tremblingly pointed at the man who was only breathing a little and said.

"Bring her in."

Ji Chenxi ordered in a cold voice, and the two of them helped the seriously injured man into the yard with great effort.

In order not to attract the attention of outsiders, Ji Chenxi specifically ordered Yan'er to wash away the blood at the door with clean water.

"She's a woman, don't worry."

Unbuttoning the man's clothes, seeing the chest wrapped in layers of gauze, Ji Chenxi said softly to Yan'er behind her.

"Women? Why are women wearing men's clothes?"

Ji Chenxi smiled slightly.

"Walking in the rivers and lakes, it will be much more convenient to dress up as a man. Okay, go back to the room and get my medicine box."

With little effort, Yan'er fetched Ji Chenxi's medicine box. Although the woman had a lot of blood on her body, Ji Chenxi knew that these were just skin wounds and did not hurt the vitals.

Ji Chenxi simply bandaged the wound on the woman's body, and when she was about to put the clothes on the woman, something fell out of the inner pocket of the woman's clothes.

"Miss, this... this seems to be exactly the same as the emperor's jade pendant."

Yan'er picked up the jade pendant that fell on the ground, and said doubtfully.

Ji Chenxi took the jade pendant, her eyes, which were as clear as rain and dew, squinted slightly together, Yan'er was right, this jade pendant was indeed exactly the same as the jade pendant worn by Li Jianyang, the difference was that Li Jianyang's jade pendant was engraved with There are two characters of dragon and Cheng, and the woman's jade pendant is engraved with phoenix and auspiciousness.

Could it be... Could it be that she knew Li Jianyang?or are they...

Looking at the woman's sleeping face, Ji Chenxi didn't dare to think too much, and subconsciously clenched the jade pendant in his hand.

In order to take care of the injured woman, Ji Chenxi stayed up almost all night. It was not until dawn that the woman faintly opened those apricot pupils that were as clear as water.

"It was you... It was you who saved me?" Seeing Ji Chenxi sitting next to her, the woman sat up with difficulty. Although her voice was a little hoarse, she still couldn't hide her melodious voice like a silver bell.

"You fell in front of my house, and I saved you."

Ji Chenxi was full of curiosity about the woman's body, but she didn't deliberately ask.

"Thank you." The woman said weakly, but when she saw the new clothes on her body, her expression changed drastically.

"Where are my clothes? Tell me, where are my clothes?"

Ji Chenxi signaled Yan'er beside her to quickly return the clothes to the woman.

Although blood was all over the clothes, the woman tossed and turned without disdain.

Seeing the anxious look of the woman, Ji Chenxi cleverly guessed everything.

She quickly brought the jade pendant on the table to the woman.

"Are you looking for this?"

Seeing the jade pendant, the woman couldn't wait to hug her into her arms, as if the jade pendant was her life.

After a while, the woman looked at Ji Chenxi embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, this is... this is my personal belongings, so... I thought it was gone just now."

Ji Chenxi smiled lightly.

"Your actions just now have already explained everything. It seems that the person who gave you this jade pendant should be very important to you."

As soon as Ji Chenxi finished speaking, the woman's face was full of pain, her cheeks were as delicate as pear blossoms with rain.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable?" Yan'er was a little surprised, quickly took the silk handkerchief, and gently wiped the teardrops on the woman's face.

"Yan'er. Let's go out and let this lady have a good rest."

Gently covering the woman with the quilt, Ji Chenxi turned and left with Yan'er.

Ji Chenxi, who hadn't slept all night, didn't go back to the room, but walked to the middle of the yard, looking at the pear blossom in full bloom in the middle of the yard, she was a little dazzled.

"Miss, that jade pendant...it seems...it seems to be a pair with the one on the emperor." Yan'er walked behind Ji Chenxi and said cautiously.

"Is...really?" Ji Chenxi, who was standing under the tree, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. Even Yan'er knew clearly that the two jade pendants were a pair, so why should she have the last sliver of fantasy?

"Yan'er has seen jade pendants with such carvings from the emperor's body. The emperor's is Long and Cheng, while this lady's is Feng and Xiang."

As soon as I said this, Yan'er suddenly realized that something was wrong, the dragon and the phoenix are gods?Could it be... Could it be that this woman is related to the emperor?No wonder the young lady's face became extremely pale after seeing the jade pendant.

"Miss, I..."

Ji Chenxi waved her hand, how could she not understand the self-blame in Yan'er's eyes?
"Take good care of her, and call me if you need anything."

After saying this, Ji Chenxi turned and returned to her room.

According to Ji Chenxi's order, Yan'er stayed in the woman's room until she woke up again.

"Miss, eat something, I cooked this specially for you." Yan'er carefully brought the freshly cooked porridge in front of the woman.

"Miss Yan'er, thank you."

The woman glanced left and right, but didn't find Ji Chenxi's figure, which made her feel a little strange.

"Miss took care of you last night, now I'm tired, go back to your room to rest."

The woman nodded, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her petal-like mouth.

After eating porridge, the woman's spirit recovered a lot.

"My name is Su Yining."

"Your surname is Su?" Upon hearing this surname, Yan'er frowned slightly. If she remembered correctly, Murong Qingfeng seemed to have mentioned Su's surname before, and his expression was very solemn at that time.

"Miss Su, you...do you know Murong Qingfeng?" Yan'er asked Su Yining tentatively.

"Do you know Qingfeng?"

Hearing Murong Qingfeng's name, Su Yining was so excited that she almost fell off the bed.

"I... I don't know each other, it seems someone mentioned it before." Su Yining's reaction made Yan'er a little surprised.

"Miss Su, you rest first, I will take care of my young lady."

Without waiting for Su Yining's reaction, Yan'er quickly came to Ji Chenxi's room.

Ji Chenxi, who was not sleepy at all, sat up directly from the bed when she heard Yan'er's panicked footsteps.

"Miss, she... her name is Su Yining, she might really know the emperor." Yan'er told Ji Chenxi about the conversation she had with Su Yining just now.

There was a hint of confusion in Ji Chenxi's eyes. She really didn't know, once it was confirmed that this woman had some kind of relationship with Li Jianyang, would she still be able to live so calmly in the love trap that Li Jianyang wove for herself?

During the two days, Ji Chenxi never met Su Yining at all. It was not until the third day that Ji Chenxi saw Su Yining sunbathing in the yard.

Su Yining, who had recovered somewhat, had a faint smile on her face. Standing under the pear tree, she exuded a different kind of elegance and nobility.

"Can I call you Dawn?"

Seeing Ji Chenxi, Su Yining quickly walked in front of her with a warm smile on his face.

Ji Chenxi slightly hooked her lips.

"of course can."

Su Yining looked at Ji Chenxi carefully. Although she was dressed in plain clothes, she had to admit that every move of Ji Chenxi was charming.

"Chenxi, thank you for saving my life. My friend will come to pick me up soon, and I will definitely thank you well then."

Seeing what Su Yining took out from his arms, Ji Chenxi took a few steps back uncontrollably.

As if he didn't notice Ji Chenxi's strangeness, Su Yining lit the thing in his hand with a flint and steel. Even in the daytime, the light blue light shooting into the sky was still clearly visible.

"To tell you the truth, this is the signal for my friends to contact me. I believe they will arrive soon."

Ji Chenxi looked palely at the light blue light that was still visible in the sky. Once upon a time, she also saw Li Jianyang contact his dead man in the same way.

"Chenxi, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Ji Chenxi's pale face, Su Yining couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Ji Chenxi shook her head.

"I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Within three days, no one had come to Fang's mansion until suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Miss, will there be robbers?" The knock on the door made Yan'er grip Ji Chenxi's clothes in fear.

"No, it's my friend."

Su Yining opened the door with joy on his face, and when he saw the visitor, he threw himself into his arms with a smile on his face.

"Brother Yang..."

"Emperor...Emperor?"

Seeing Li Jianyang standing at the door, Yan'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, but it took her a while before she came to her senses.

"Miss, the emperor...he knows Miss Su?"

A touch of sadness flashed across Ji Chenxi's watery phoenix eyes. From the moment Li Jianyang entered the door, his eyes did not stay on his body, but were locked on Su Yining's body all the time.

"Brother Yang, this is my savior. If it weren't for Chenxi, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you."

Su Yining pulled Li Jianyang directly to Ji Chenxi.

"Yan'er pays respects to the emperor."

Li Jianyang looked at Ji Chenxi with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Xi'er pays respects to the emperor." Ji Chenxi bowed profusely, her melodious voice was like that of an oriole, and there was the unique coquettishness of a woman.

"Brother Yang, you...you are the emperor? When did this happen?" Su Yining looked at Li Jianyang in disbelief.

"Brother Yang will tell you about this matter one by one in the future."

Li Jianyang's big hand gently landed on Su Yining's hair, his loving tone made Ji Chenxi's eyes feel sore.

"Her body is still very weak. If you have anything to say, you can go back to the room and say it, or take her back to the palace." Ji Chenxi said lightly, there was no slight turmoil on Li Jianyang's appearance on her delicate and beautiful cheeks .

Li Jianyang took a deep look at Ji Chenxi, didn't say much, took Su Yuning's jade hand, and walked directly into the room.

"Brother Yang, what's going on? Why did you become the emperor? Why haven't I heard anything about it?" Su Yining, who returned to the room, took Li Jianyang's hand affectionately, and kept asking .

Li Jianyang said a few words in a few words, and then stopped repeating this topic.

"Tell me, why did you get hurt? And why did you come here from Yu Country?" Li Jianyang asked softly.

"I... I ran out secretly. I originally wanted to find you in the capital, but I didn't expect to encounter an ambush when I passed by here. I don’t know if I can see Brother Yang again.”

Thinking of those cruel scenes, Su Yining was terrified.

Li Jianyang sighed softly.

"You're too willful." Although his tone was somewhat reproachful, Li Jianyang patted Su Yining on the back comfortingly.

Such a picture was clearly seen by Ji Chenxi who was standing at the door.

"Miss, you...are you alright?" Yan'er asked in a low voice while supporting Ji Chenxi who was unstable.

"I am fine."

Ji Chenxi said softly, there was an indelible sadness on her pretty face.

"Chenxi..." Su Yining saw Ji Chenxi standing at the door with sharp eyes, and couldn't help smiling.

"Excuse me." Ji Chenxi, who originally wanted to leave, couldn't resist Su Yining's warm invitation, so she walked into the room.

Yixi wafted in the air the unique smell of Li Jianyang's Longtan incense.

"Brother Yang, how are you going to thank Chenxi?" Su Yining shook Li Jianyang's arm coquettishly, looking at him innocently.

Li Jianyang sighed lightly.

"I will reward you, Ning'er, you have just recovered, sleep for a while, and when you recover, I will take you back to the palace."

Su Yining nodded, and slowly closed her eyes. Li Jianyang, who was worried, touched her sleeping hole again, and then pulled Ji Chenxi out of the room.

"Xi'er, I..."

Li Jianyang wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Ji Chenxi.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to say anything, Xi'er is just a commoner now, and your Majesty is the dragon of the court." Ji Chenxi's indifferent and alienated attitude made Li Jianyang frowned tightly.

"Ning'er is the princess of Yu Country. A few years ago, I met a robber in Yu Country. It was her imperial brother who rescued me and brought me back to the palace. Ning'er took care of me for three months. When I left later, Ning'er gave me one of the jade pendants."

Li Jianyang said softly behind Ji Chenxi.Ji Chenxi's silence made Li Jianyang faintly worried.

"The emperor doesn't need to explain anything to Xi'er. Just now Xi'er said that Xi'er has nothing to do with the emperor now. Please also ask the emperor to take Princess Ning'er away immediately and give Xi'er a peaceful life."

Li Jianyang sighed helplessly, how could he not know Xi'er's stubbornness and arrogance?Now there is another Su Yining.

"Tomorrow morning, I will take Ning'er back to the capital."

Ji Chenxi didn't speak, just turned around and went back to the room.

Ji Chenxi didn't show up until dinner at night, but told Yan'er to treat Li Jianyang and Su Yining well.

Into the night
Looking at Ji Chenxi's closed door, Li Jianyang's eyes flashed with a complicated look.

Xi'er, do you know that there are too many secrets in my heart that I can't speak out, do you know how much my heart hurts every time you treat me coldly?
