Chapter 128 We must be on guard day and night
Hearing him say that, Lan Zhi blinked a few times nervously.
"Wei Jian'an is dead, so who else would want to harm you?"
"Ah!"
He gave a mocking smile.
"Many people want to harm me. Some may be people I expect, and some may be people we never thought of. But you don't need to worry too much. Their target is me."
Upon hearing this, Lan Zhi immediately leaned closer to him, hugging him tightly, and reminded him with concern.
"Then you'd better be more careful in the future. You promised me you'd always be with me, that you'd stay with me until we're old. I don't want anything to happen to you."
Wei Jianning raised his hand and gently ruffled her soft, long hair, nodding indulgently.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and live well for you. I'm still hoping you will give me a child that belongs to both of us."
His words made her face flush instantly, and she immediately raised her hand and lightly punched his chest twice.
"Who wants to have your child?"
"You."
As he spoke, he suddenly rolled over and pinned her beneath him, gazing at her with tender eyes, his breathing suddenly becoming rapid.
"My wife, I, Wei Jianning, am so fortunate to have met you and to be able to spend every night with you. If I could not steal moments of pleasure with you every day, wouldn't it be a waste of this beautiful time?"
She pursed her lips, looked at him with shyness in her eyes, and nodded heavily.
"If you like it, I will keep you company. As long as you are not tired, I will not get tired."
She raised her hand and gently removed his clothes, stroking his strong arms with her slender fingers, then raised her chin and offered her lips...
Wei Jianning lowered his head and kissed her red lips. Then he stood up and looked at the alluring little girl in front of him. He raised his hand and gently stroked her outline, pausing briefly at each spot, like a dragonfly skimming the water, light and rhythmic.
Lan Zhi swallowed hard, reached out and grabbed his hand, then sat up and pressed him against her, taking the initiative and looking at him with alluring eyes.
“My lord, I love those who love me, and today, I will take the lead.”
Wei Jianning was taken aback at first, then his eyes revealed a strong desire. He felt the warmth of her body, his heart began to race, and he pulled her into his arms. When their eyes met, he said in a deep voice, "..."
"Little girl, the fire has started on your body, you need to put it out quickly."
His suggestion prompted her to begin groping him, and after a soft breath, her red lips began to wander over his shoulder...
That night, the mandarin ducks intertwined their necks, and the crimson waves rolled, destined to be a sleepless night...
……
Jingcui Pavilion
Lin Yuwei sat upright in the main hall, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.
The little girl, Xiaoguo, came in carrying a plate of fruit and asked cautiously,
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"Humph!"
She slammed her hand on the table and let out a sigh of relief.
"What is it about Lan Zhi that makes her so captivating to the Crown Prince?"
Xiao Guo shook her head in confusion.
"This servant does not know. This servant thinks that Miss does not need to make a big fuss about this. Instead, we should have the old master and master go to the emperor as soon as possible to ask for a decree to grant the marriage!"
"Even if we are betrothed, what good is it if his heart isn't with me? Am I supposed to live a life of widowhood?"
“Miss, even if you can’t be called the most beautiful woman in the capital, you are more than qualified to be the most talented woman in the capital. That Lan Zhi is just a country woman who can’t read many words and is very rustic. Look at the people around her, they all exude a rustic air. I think, if it weren’t for the fact that she saved the Crown Prince’s life, would the Crown Prince dote on her so much? Just wait and see! Once the novelty wears off and the Crown Prince gets tired of her, he will definitely coax her away. At that time, the Crown Prince’s residence will be yours.”
"But the investiture ceremony is still more than a month away, I can't wait..."
As she spoke, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and she raised her hand to whisper a few words in Xiao Guo's ear.
Xiao Guo was startled at first, then breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern:
"Miss, will this work?"
"There's nothing that can't be done. If we succeed in this, we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Guo nodded.
"This servant understands. For your sake, Miss, this servant will do anything."
Lin Yuwei immediately took off a purple jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Xiao Guo's wrist.
"Xiao Guo, although you have only been with me for three years, I have already regarded you as a sister. If this matter is done well, when I become the Crown Princess, I will find a suitable opportunity to let the Crown Prince marry you as a concubine. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you will at least be a concubine. At that time, as long as we sisters get along well, the entire harem will be ours."
Upon hearing this, a look of anticipation flashed in Xiao Guo's eyes, and then she nodded emphatically with joy.
"Miss, you are so kind to Xiaoguo. Don't worry, Xiaoguo will definitely do a good job on this matter."
As she spoke, she touched the purple jade bracelet on her wrist and murmured:
“It’s so beautiful. If my mother knew how much you value me and even rewarded me with such a valuable bracelet, she would be so happy for me.”
Seeing Xiao Guo's excited expression, Lin Yuwei nodded nervously.
"After I've taken care of this, I'll give you a few days off so you can go home and see your mother."
"Thank you, miss. Thank you, miss."
Xiao Guo left with a happy expression, but a fierce glint flashed in Lin Yuwei's eyes.
Whether Xiaoguo succeeds or fails, it's impossible for her to live anymore.
……
In the dead of night, the entire Crown Prince's residence was as quiet as ever. Apart from a few guards on night watch, who moved about with extremely light footsteps, no one else could be seen.
Inside Jingxiang Pavilion, Huang Bao stood guard outside the door, yawning incessantly.
He's on night shift tonight, and even though he's exhausted, he doesn't dare close his eyes.
"Meow!"
A meow rang out, and Huang Bao yawned again, muttering helplessly to himself:
"In the middle of the night, there's some beast willing to stand guard with me?"
He then looked around, but couldn't see a single cat.
"boom!"
A pebble landed at his feet, and his expression immediately tensed. He was about to call for help when he saw Xiao Guo running towards him. She kept looking back as she ran, and when she saw Huang Bao, she immediately stammered:
"Big brother, someone...someone is trying to kill me, please save me!"
Huang Bao quickly looked behind her and saw that it was pitch black all around. Curious, he asked her what was going on.
"Where is everyone? Which courtyard do you belong to? What are you doing here?"
Xiao Guo didn't reply to him directly, but instead threw herself into his arms with fear in her eyes.
"Big brother, please save me! Someone really wants to kill me! Go check over there if you don't believe me..."
Huang Bao glanced in the direction she was pointing again, then pushed her away.
"You stay here and don't move, I'll go take a look."
Seeing that her scheme had succeeded, Xiao Guo decided to add fuel to the fire, nodding with a trembling body.
"Thank you, brother. You're such a kind person."
Huang Bao did not respond to her, but looked directly in the direction she was pointing.
As he disappeared into the night, Xiao Guo quickly pushed open the door to Wei Ming's room, walked in, closed the door, and then took out the short knife hidden in her bosom. She then carefully walked towards the bedside.
Wei Jianning vouched for Lan Zhi before the Emperor, saying that as long as Wei Ming was killed, Wei Jianning, the Crown Prince, would be safe, but Lan Zhi would definitely die. In this way, the young lady would have a chance to become the Crown Princess, and she would also have a chance to marry the Crown Prince as a concubine, and eventually become an imperial concubine...
She kept using these temptations to encourage herself until she reached the bedside, gritted her teeth, and stabbed herself into the bed...
