Chapter 609 The more you read, the more guilty you feel
Jiang Suining pursed her lips and met Xiao Yi's gaze.
Just when Xiao Yi thought that Jiang Suining was definitely going to turn against him.
The next moment, she suddenly opened her lips and said, "Okay, then I beg the Fourth Prince to remind me a few things."
The sudden change in tone and expression made Xiao Yi stunned for a moment.
Meeting Jiang Suining's calm eyes, the amusement and mockery on Xiao Yi's face faded away involuntarily.
"Is this how Ms. Jiang asks for help?"
"Does this humble official need to kneel down and kowtow to Your Highness?" Jiang Suining asked.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, "You really are not fussy about details, and you can bend and stretch."
"Your Highness is too kind, but I wonder if Your Highness can keep his word?"
Jiang Suining imitated Xiao Yi's previous expression and put on a smile. With that excellent face, he looked gentle and beautiful, but the sharpness and sarcasm hidden in it were no less than Xiao Yi's just now.
"Jiang Suining, you must never forget that I am the prince who murdered your father." Xiao Yi stared at Jiang Suining.
"Thank you for reminding me, Fourth Prince. I will never forget this. Otherwise, how could I have taken the trouble to arrange such a big show for Your Highness and send you to this prison." Jiang Suining's eyes were clear, and for a moment, his sight seemed to be able to penetrate Xiao Yi's internal organs and illuminate all his thoughts.
From the time he entered the Heavenly Prison until now, Xiao Yi has always acted as if he was strolling in a leisurely manner, unperturbed by fame or disgrace.
However, even if Xiao Yi really had a backup plan, he had just been fooled last night and was now locked up in this prison. How could he not be upset at all?
The calmness and indifference at this moment are probably more of a disguise.
Pretend to be playful and joking, pretend to be confident.
Xiao Yi knew that the more convincing he pretended, the more nervous they would become, and being nervous would make them more likely to make mistakes.
When their eyes met, Xiao Yi's eyes dimmed.
"Jiang Suining, sometimes I really regret standing against you."
"I think Your Highness is not telling the truth." Jiang Suining chuckled and shook his head, "Your Highness should really regret not cutting off the roots and killing me completely on the outskirts of the city that day."
Xiao Yi's pupils shrank, "You do understand this prince."
Indeed, he regretted not getting rid of Jiang Suining completely, and he regretted it many times.
If he had known that the other party would continue to hold on to the original matter and cause him so much trouble, and even that Jiang Suining was Gu Qingyan's daughter, he would definitely cut off the roots of the problem.
Jiang Suining's eyes were clear and cold. "It's not that I understand Your Highness, but if I were Your Highness, I would make the same choice."
Xiao Yi was silent for a long time before he spoke: "You are a woman, what a pity."
Jiang Suining did not comment on this assessment, but only asked, "So what exactly did His Highness ask Li Zheng and his mother to do?"
"At the beginning, I just pointed out a way for them. After all, if I want to revive the Li family, I have to find someone to rely on. I didn't make any other arrangements. However... two days ago, I suddenly had an idea and sent people to capture Li Zheng's eldest brother and asked them to do something for me."
The corners of Xiao Yi's eyes and eyebrows were raised, revealing his undisguised anticipation.
Jiang Suining was startled by the look in her eyes, and her intuition told her that Xiao Yi was not lying.
"what's up?"
"Of course I can't tell you anything. This is the end of my reminder. Lady Jiang, I wish you good luck."
Xiao Yi lazily withdrew his gaze and acted as if he was not going to speak again.
The time of one stick of incense had passed, and the jailer began to remind Jiang Suining to leave as soon as possible.
The moment he left the cell, Jiang Suining suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Yi again.
"When you said good luck to you guys just now, you weren't referring to me and Lu Yan, but me and Shen Yanxi, right?"
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, looked at Jiang Suining, and then sneered.
"Although Jiang Nuguan is married, you don't have to think about your husband all the time. This prince doesn't know how a mere Li Zheng mother and son can be used to plot against the Prime Minister. It seems that Lu Yan treated you as a friend, but her true heart was misplaced."
"Fourth Prince, sometimes the more you talk, the more guilty you appear."
The sneer on Xiao Yi's face froze.
After saying this, Jiang Suining quickly turned around and left.
Looking at the other person's quickly disappearing back, Xiao Yi's face became completely gloomy.
Jiang Suining was indeed perceptive. Perhaps he had said too much just now!
……
After leaving the Heavenly Prison, Jiang Suining immediately asked someone to ask for leave from the Queen Mother. She went to the place where the court officials were on duty, but was told that Shen Yanxi had already left.
She hurried out of the palace again. After getting on the carriage at the palace gate, Jiang Suining hesitated for a moment, but then ordered the coachman to hurry to the Lu family.
At the gate of the Lu family, in response to Jiang Suining's request, the gatekeeper said, "You came at an unfortunate time. The young lady left the house more than half an hour ago and is not at home now."
Jiang Suining frowned and asked, "Then do you know where she went?"
The servant shook his head, "The lady didn't say, so I don't know."
Jiang Suining was just about to speak again when an unexpected voice called out from behind him.
"Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Suining turned her head and found that the person who spoke was Cong Rong, the maid beside Lu Yan. She had seen her several times and recognized her.
"Congrong, do you know where your young lady has gone?"
Cong Rong looked at Jiang Suining in confusion, "Miss Jiang, didn't you send someone to send a letter to ask our young lady out? Why are you asking about this servant instead?"
Jiang Suining was stunned. "I didn't send any letter, nor did I invite your young lady. When did you say it happened?"
Cong Rong was even more confused and quickly said, "It was today. A letter was delivered early in the morning. The young lady said that you asked her to meet in the west of the city, and also said that you specifically told her in the letter to go alone, so the young lady didn't even bring me."
She and the young lady went out of the house together. She went to get the hairpin that the young lady had sent for repair after it was broken a few days ago. It was already more than half an hour, and she thought the young lady would be back soon.
Jiang Suining looked solemn and continued to ask, "Then do you know where the invitation is in the west of the city?"
"It seems to be the innermost courtyard of Liuyi Street in the west of the city. I happened to see it when the young lady was reading the letter. Miss Jiang, what's going on? If you didn't ask our young lady to come, who sent the letter?"
Jiang Suining didn't bother to answer Cong Rong's question, and just said, "I don't know either. I'll go over and take a look right now."
As Jiang Suining hurriedly passed by Cong Rong and was about to get on the carriage, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Are Li Zheng and his mother still at the Lu family?"
