Chapter 214 From now on, we're friends.
"There's an aphrodisiac in the incense," the guard said, holding the incense burner that had just been extinguished.
Ge Jiayou's expression changed drastically. He carefully observed Xiao Yunxi's expression and said, "It's all because I love you. I like you so much..."
Xiao Yunxi looked at Ge Jiayou kneeling on the ground and felt as if she were looking at a complete stranger.
The Ge Jiayou she knew was a refined and upright gentleman who would never do such a despicable and shameless thing.
But when the mask of the person in front of me was removed, it revealed something incredibly filthy.
She hated herself for being so bad at judging people, having been kept in the dark for so long.
She stared coldly at Ge Jiayou: "Let it eat this fragrance."
The guard obeyed the order and immediately took out the unburnt incense pill and stuffed it into Ge Jiayou's mouth.
Ge Jiayou looked terrified and kept trying to dodge, but his head was held down and his mouth was pried open. Several fragrant pills were stuffed into his mouth and forced to swallow them.
Ge Jiayou felt like he was going to choke to death, coughing incessantly. Would he die after eating this thing?
Xiao Yunxi looked at him calmly and said, "If I had told you my identity earlier, you wouldn't have done such a thing."
Ge Jiayou stared at him longingly, the fragrant pill he had just swallowed making his throat feel like it was on fire.
What exactly is her identity?
"I am the fifth princess of the current emperor, Xiao Yunxi." Xiao Yunxi's tone was devoid of any emotion.
Ge Jiayou stared at Xiao Yunxi, stunned, and then a deep fear rose in his eyes.
Ah Yun is actually the current Fifth Princess?
He recalled the moments he had spent with A-Yun, and he couldn't believe that this girl who usually chatted and laughed with him was actually a high and mighty princess.
He had inquired about most of the unmarried daughters of officials in Kyoto, and he knew that Xiao Yunxi was definitely not an official's daughter.
He dared not touch the women of high-ranking officials.
I thought A-Yun was just the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and that her family was too strict with her.
Unexpectedly, she was the Emperor's daughter!
If he had known she was a princess, he wouldn't have dared to lay a finger on her even if he had the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard!
Now, the Fifth Princess has discovered his true identity and also revealed his entanglements with other women.
Ge Jiayou's face was ashen.
He knew he was doomed.
On that very day, Ge Jiayou disappeared from Kyoto, and no one knew where he went.
Xiao Yunxi returned to the palace and then pestered the Crown Prince to visit Qin Wanying at his residence so she could properly thank her.
Xiao Jiye didn't know what Qin Wanying had seen a few days ago. He tentatively asked Qin Wanying, but she didn't seem too keen to say, so he didn't press her for details and couldn't hear her thoughts.
However, it seems that Xiao Yunxi has resolved one very important matter.
That must be a good thing.
When Xiao Yunxi saw Qin Wanying this time, she changed her attitude from before. She took the initiative to greet her and thank her.
However, Xiao Yunxi looked very depressed.
Qin Wanying knew that she had experienced great ups and downs, and that the person she deeply loved was a liar. What girl wouldn't be heartbroken?
Upon closer inspection of Xiao Yunxi's fate, Qin Wanying was shocked. Good heavens, she had actually eliminated Ge Jiayou.
I thought they would just give him a beating, but they ended up killing him.
After all, they were children who grew up in the palace and had seen a lot of killing and bloodshed, so it's not surprising that they could kill people.
Xiao Yunxi gave her personal jade pendant to Qin Wanying.
Qin Wanying took it; the jade pendant was clearly priceless.
"Wan Ying, since you've helped me, we're friends from now on. Here's the jade pendant for you. If you ever enter the palace, you can bring it to my palace to find me."
Qin Wanying smiled and said, "I would be honored to accept your offer."
Xiao Yunxi is a simple-minded person. When you first meet her, you may find her difficult to approach, but once she considers you a friend, she will open her heart to you.
Xiao Yunxi didn't have many friends in the palace. She dared not tell the other princesses about her affair with Ge Jiayou; only her personal maid knew.
Xiao Yunxi was feeling distressed and had long wanted to confide in someone. Since Qin Wanying already knew about these things, she didn't hold back and poured out her grievances and shock to Qin Wanying.
Qin Wanying offered timely comfort and empathy, which further increased Xiao Yunxi's positive feelings towards her.
[Ding! Helping value increased by 40! Please keep up the good work, host!]
Great, my Helping Value has increased by 40.
However, since we just finished upgrading, it will probably be a while before the next upgrade.
The thought of having an extra life made Qin Wanying feel happy again.
Xiao Yunxi pestered the Crown Prince for a long time before he finally agreed to let her and Qin Wanying go out of the Crown Prince's residence to stroll through the market.
The Crown Prince dispatched numerous shadow guards to protect the two of them.
Xiao Yunxi was finally able to come out openly without having to sneak around, which made her much happier.
She had just experienced something bad and needed to clear her head.
She and Qin Wanying disguised themselves and strolled hand in hand through the market. They would buy any small wooden carvings or dolls they liked, two of each, one for her and one for Qin Wanying.
Xiao Yunxi grew up in the palace, and she had never seen such cheap and novel things before. Qin Wanying sometimes felt that she had a bit of a childlike nature.
After wandering around for two hours, the shadow guard reminded them, and the two then returned.
Xiao Yunxi went straight back to the palace. Before leaving, she was still somewhat reluctant to part with Qin Wanying.
This incident turned Xiao Yunxi, who should have been an enemy, into a friend of the Crown Prince and the Marquis's Mansion.
The Crown Prince gave Xiao Yunxi Wang Moya's authentic calligraphy, which improved the relationship between Xiao Yunxi and the Crown Prince. Qin Wanying helped her solve her problem, and she also regarded Qin Wanying as a friend.
I also increased my helping points. It was quite a rewarding experience.
Xiao Yunxi returned to the palace and had barely sat down when someone announced that the Ninth Princess, Xiao Yingxue, was requesting an audience.
The Ninth Princess visited several times in the past few days.
However, Xiao Yunxi now has a better impression of her Crown Prince brother and Qin Wanying.
Even if she's stupid, she can still understand the basic situation in the imperial court.
Ninth Sister is the younger sister of the War King, and she is not in the same camp as the Crown Prince.
Now that she is on good terms with the Crown Prince, she shouldn't get too close to Ninth Sister.
So he instructed his men to tell her that she had already rested and that the Ninth Princess should go back.
Xiao Yingxue's expression turned sour upon hearing the servant's report.
It's only a few o'clock, who goes to bed so early?
Previously, her older brother told her to get along well with Xiao Yunxi.
She dismissed it, thinking that Xiao Yunxi's maternal clan had fallen into decline, and that she was only favored by the emperor; what could she possibly do?
However, since her elder brother had given the order, she did as he instructed.
However, before he could even look for Xiao Yunxi a few times, he heard that she had gone to the Crown Prince's residence.
She disappeared after he returned from the Crown Prince's residence.
Xiao Yingxue frowned. Xiao Yunxi had now become close friends with the Crown Prince.
She relayed this information to the War King.
