Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Chapter 145 Ning Yunxiao is in trouble

Jiang Lige/Fengquan: "..."

Okay, Songyue knows how to analyze characters.

Feng Quan was too embarrassed to listen to Song Yue's nonsense any longer, so he ordered the palace maids to clean up the table and handed a letter to Jiang Lige.

"Princess Chuchu just sent an invitation, inviting you to meet by the Taihu Lake later."

Jiang Lige didn't seem surprised. She nodded calmly and said, "Okay, get dressed and let's go meet Jiang Chuchu."

An hour later, Taihu Lake——

Since their rebirth, Jiang Lige and Jiang Chuchu have been secretly fighting back and forth for many rounds, but this is the first time they have met so openly and without any concealment.

As expected of the woman who tricked Jiang Lige to the moment of his death in his previous life, Jiang Chuchu is in better condition than Jiang Lige had imagined.

Her face was no longer as pale as yesterday. She looked quite beautiful in a light pink gauze dress. Her ears were adorned with pearls, and her hair was pinned with a simple peach blossom tassel. Her waist was as slender as a willow.

Seeing Jiang Lige enter the pavilion, Jiang Chuchu sat down at the table and started brewing tea. "Flower tea or green tea?"

"Flower tea." Jiang Lige replied, dismissed his attendants and sat opposite Jiang Chuchu.

Jiang Chuchu put some scented tea into the pot and brewed it with boiling water. The lingering fragrance of the tea filled every corner of the room.

It was rare for Jiang Lige to sit still and not say a word the whole time. Finally, Jiang Chuchu, who could no longer hold back, spoke.

"This is the first time I know that my sister has such good patience."

"To drink good tea, you naturally need time to brew it slowly."

Jiang Chuchu smiled and said, "Sister, you played the long game to catch a big fish beautifully. Chuchu is ashamed of herself."

"Each each other."

Seeing Jiang Lige holding the teacup, Jiang Chuchu asked, "Sister, you trust me, aren't you afraid that the tea is poisonous?"

"You won't." Jiang Lige took a sip of tea from the cup. "It's just marrying down. At least you still have your life. Would Chuchu dare to gamble her life for such a moment of anger?"

"After all, it's the confidence of the legitimate princess."

"Chu Chu, there's no need to be so sarcastic." Jiang Lige was not moved at all. "Since you and Mr. Ba have already had feelings for each other, as your sister, I should also make some plans for you."

"The dignified Princess Nanchu will marry into the palace as a concubine. This is your plan!"

Jiang Chuchu couldn't help it after all and retorted loudly.

"Jiang Lige! I'm not as skilled as you and ended up like this. I can't blame you, but do you really care about the reputation of our Nanchu? Or do you think it's an honor to have a sister who is a concubine?!"

Jiang Lige's expression remained calm. "Jiang Chuchu, it was you who instigated Princess Jingyu to request the imperial decree for marriage. You were the one who pushed for the position of principal wife yourself. If you hadn't taken action, how could Emperor Shengwu have disregarded the dignity of both countries and granted you a concubine?"

"You plotted against me! You knew my plan from the beginning!"

"Yeah." Jiang Lige nodded gently, "So? Today's results are the result of past causes. Jiang Chuchu, everything you have now is the result of your own planning. You can't blame others."

When Jiang Chuchu heard these infuriating words, she immediately became so angry that her face turned blue. She slapped the table and said angrily:

"Jiang Lige! Why are you so vicious? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Retribution? If there really was retribution, I would have received it long ago."

The tragic death at the hands of Jiang Chuchu in the previous life was the greatest retribution for Jiang Lige's previous poor judgment of people.

Jiang Lige thought about it and smiled again, "What's more, I have to accept the beating obediently. I, Jiang Lige, have never learned such rules since I was a child."

Jiang Chuchu was so angry that she said "good" three times in a row, "Jiang Lige, don't be too happy! I just lost an insignificant game, I'm still alive, and I'm married to a man who loves me wholeheartedly. As long as I plan well, my future may not be worse than yours! You've offended so many people this time, how can you expect a peaceful life in the future?"

"A man who's obsessed with you?" Jiang Lige sneered. "You colluded with Princess Jingyu to ask for an imperial decree to marry the Xiao family's concubine to Ning Luyang. While that would have humiliated me by making me a concubine, it would also have left Ning Luyang with no one to support him. You knew the outcome, but you still did it. Just guess: if Ning Luyang knew this, would he still be obsessed with you?"

Jiang Chuchu felt a chill in her heart after hearing the resounding question, and she suddenly realized Jiang Lige's plan.

Yes, with Ning Luyang's personality, if he knew that she sacrificed his interests to avenge her personal grudge, he would definitely become estranged from her.

Jiang Lige's plan of sowing discord is truly ingenious!

Although she was nervous, Jiang Chuchu still maintained a dignified appearance, trying her best to calm the rage rising and falling in her chest. She took a deep breath and then slowly said:

"Jiang Lige, everything depends on human effort. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will definitely flatten them. Life is still long, and even the most skilled gambler can't win every time. I'm waiting, waiting for the day when you, Jiang Lige, beg me for mercy!"

One day, she will trample Jiang Lige under her feet!

She swears!

"You have backbone. I admire you."

Jiang Lige's words were quite sincere. Even though there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood in her previous life between her and Jiang Chuchu, she had to admit that the woman in front of her was indeed not simple.

No matter whether it is good times or bad times, she can always move forward step by step with caution and determination.

Then, he became the final winner with a bad hand of cards.

Even Jiang Lige himself felt ashamed of this.

Strangely enough, after all these years, this was the first time that the two sisters from the Southern Chu Imperial Court sat together and drank tea with such "unanimity of mind".

After drinking a cup of tea, Jiang Lige was about to get up, but before Jiang Lige walked out of the pavilion, he saw Song Yue running in in a panic.

"Princess, something bad has happened! Something has happened to the prince!"

Jiang Lige, who remained extremely calm even when facing the questioning of his enemies, felt his heart suddenly stop, and then he asked belatedly.

"What did you say?"

"Military reports arrived from the front lines. When the Crown Prince was leading his troops to suppress bandits at the main peak of Guangzhanggou, he was shot by an arrow and fell off a cliff thousands of feet high. Below the cliff was an extremely turbulent and ferocious river with extremely strong currents. The military advisor said... said..." Seeing Jiang Lige's face suddenly turn pale, Song Yue spoke again with a hint of tears in her voice, "The possibility of survival is extremely slim."

When Jiang Lige heard this, he felt as if something exploded in his heart, making his brain go blank in an instant. He could only hold on to the railing tightly to support himself.

Her fists were clenched tightly in her wide sleeves, and her nails dug deep into her palms. The sharp pain brought Jiang Lige's thoughts back briefly. She took a deep breath and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Songyue, you go out of the palace and go to Chang'anfang to have Linglong use some silver to get information about Guangzhanggou. Fengquan, you go to Shoukang Palace to pay your respects to Concubine Xian and see if she has any solutions. I will return to Funing Palace. His Majesty will inform my great-aunt as soon as he has any news."
