Chapter 399 Fake
Under the powerful impact of anger, fear and desire, Ji Xiangli felt as if there were two hurricanes swirling in his mind, howling and making his head hurt.
At this moment, Jiang Yuanfeng's vague temptation and seduction just now was like the sound of nature between the two hurricanes, light and pleasant, with a powerful magic that tempted him to rescue him from the quagmire.
That's the best plan!
The two hands were wrestling with each other, and soon, Jiang Yuanfeng's words prevailed.
There is no way out now. No matter which choice he makes, he will at least lose one daughter.
The most beneficial way for himself at the moment is to support the person in front of him to take the position!
The emperor is currently seriously ill, and everyone in the court and the country follows the prince's lead. I believe that a new emperor will be welcomed soon. At this critical juncture, the person in front of me is so similar to the prince, I can definitely give it a try!
The risk is high, but if it succeeds, the Ji family will be able to prosper by taking a gamble.
Ji Xiangli glanced sideways at the stand-in beside him. The man kept glancing at Ji Jiaru who was lying unconscious on the ground, and the worry in his eyes was so thick that it almost overflowed.
It seems that she is just a fool who only knows how to enjoy the pleasure of the boudoir, Ji Xiangli thought in his heart.
But if that's the case, wouldn't he be discovered quickly if he did that thing, given this guy's stupid behavior?
In an instant, Ji Xiangli, who had just been inclined to listen to Jiang Yuanfeng, felt that this was not feasible.
Jiang Yuanfeng ignored Ji Xiangli who was thinking in his mind, and followed the substitute man closely with his eyes: "What's your name?"
"Jiang, Jiang Muyao..."
Jiang Yuanfeng rolled his eyes at him and said in a low voice, "Your own name!"
"I, I, I don't even have a name. I was brought to the Eastern Palace at the age of ten and was lectured by the officials. But in my hometown, my parents call me San'er. My father's surname is Niu, so the neighbors all call me Niu San'er..."
"Okay, Niu San'er, forget your name. From now on, you will be Jiang Muyao! What do you think about this situation now?"
Niu Saner pursed his lips tightly, his eyes fixed on Ji Jiaru lying on the ground, and his hands had left marks on the armrests of the armchair he was holding.
"But if we were to be discovered, it would be a grave crime for the young lady, with her family and property confiscated..."
Jiang Yuanfeng followed his gaze and glanced at Ji Jiaru lying on the ground. His voice was filled with temptation: "Are you willing to watch your woman make love with another man? If you give up this opportunity today, she will either die or marry someone else and live the rest of her life with the reputation of a virgin."
He paused, then glanced at Ji Xiangli. "And your father-in-law, do you think he would let you go so easily? If the Crown Prince had come forward for you, perhaps you could have saved your life. But you have committed this crime, and have exposed yourself as a substitute in front of everyone. I don't think His Highness will let you go so easily, right?"
Niu Saner's eyes were filled with fear for a moment: "No, I don't want it!"
He blurted it out almost subconsciously.
Jiang Yuanfeng nodded and asked again, in a gentle and persuasive manner, "What were you originally doing here today? How could His Highness allow Ming Mingbai to appear here?"
After being stunned for a long time, Niu Sancai came back to his senses and said, "I have been taught by His Highness for many years, and my bones have been broken six times. Now more than ten years have passed. In order to test whether I can be identified, His Highness has ordered me to travel around in his identity for the past few days. Today, I am here to tell Master Ji that His Highness will never marry the eldest lady..."
Jiang Yuanfeng removed the silencing spell from Ji Xiangli, and in an instant, his hoarse and painful throat returned to normal.
After hearing what Niu San'er said, Ji Xiangli coughed twice and sneered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really clever. He lets you bear his name, but he won't even give you one of his clothes. And your tiger fangs, he must have kept them deliberately to protect you, right?"
Niu Saner's face flushed instantly, and he said with some embarrassment, "His Highness Tiger Fang said that I didn't need to take it, and he didn't change my clothes. He said he wanted to see my true ability and whether I could rely on myself without being recognized..."
"Hahahaha..." Jiang Yuanfeng laughed loudly, "Just as expected. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has used tricks to kill so many royal brothers, how could he be so heartless! Even if you study for another ten or eight years, I'm afraid you won't be able to match his skills!"
When mentioning the prince, fear flashed in Niu San's eyes again.
Jiang Yuanfeng looked deeply: "Are you afraid of him?"
After rubbing his fingers on the armrest several times, Niu Sancai nodded slightly and said with lowered eyes, "I guess so. After all, he is His Highness, and there is a huge difference in blood between us. How can I possibly compare to him?"
Although he said so, Jiang Yuanfeng observed his face carefully and saw that there might have been inferiority in his eyes.
But with the temptation of Ji Jiaru lying on the ground, there were a few flames of unwillingness.
As long as there is fire, it will be easy.
Having said that, Jiang Yuanfeng stopped asking questions.
The air in the room was very quiet, and he began to sip his tea leisurely, waiting quietly for the two of them to think.
What he didn't expect was that compared to Ji Xiangli, it was Niu Saner who figured everything out faster.
He straightened his back and stood up solemnly, but when he looked at Ji Xiangli's face, his momentum weakened a little.
He whispered softly, "I want to marry the eldest lady, I'll do it!"
His words were like a huge rock thrown into a lake, instantly stirring up huge waves.
Jiang Yuanfeng's answer to him was expected, but Ji Xiangli looked at him in horror and fear, as if he was looking at a fool who was ignorant of the immensity of the world.
After a pause, he swallowed his saliva and asked Niu Saner: "You, you have no parents or relatives at home?"
Shaking his head, Niu San said, "I don't know. I've always eaten a lot since I was little. My parents don't like me. They took the initiative to sell me for ten taels of silver. I haven't been home for many years and I haven't had the chance. I don't miss that place. I'm living with His Highness in the East Palace. I have enough food and clothes. Why should I think about those things?"
Ji Xiangli was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
No wonder.
No wonder this man made the decision so quickly without caring about his relatives and family members behind him.
The Ji family was a family of officials, yet he had only achieved a mediocre position, neither above nor below. Compared to the glory of his ancestors and fathers, it was still far too weak. To others, he had only recently been promoted to the fourth rank by relying on the protection of his ancestors.
And he also knew that he had reached the end.
He now has both a son and a daughter, and he was happy for a long time when the emperor chose Jiaru as the prince's concubine.
The Emperor intends to promote the Ji family. If he fails to seize this opportunity and breaks off the marriage alliance with the Tian family, he might not be able to keep his fourth-rank official position...
The future, the past, family and children, all kinds of troubles and entanglements, he really has too much to consider.
After all, if something really happens, I will have nine clans to blame!
Ji Xiangli looked at Jiang Yuanfeng and said, "I want to ask you something first. I don't even know you, but who are you? You came to my house today, and it seems that you are trying to instigate something between my daughter and this person. How will this benefit you?"
Jiang Yuanfeng touched his chin and smiled knowingly, "My name is Jiang Shaozhao. My goal is naturally to seize a high position and hold great power. Only with power can I marry the woman I love!"
After hearing this, Ji Xiangli glanced at him, quite surprised: "You are such a scheming person, and you are planning so painstakingly, but it is all for a woman?"
He scoffed, his previous fear instantly turning into disdainful ridicule. "That woman wanted your power and status to marry you. You're so cunning! Don't you know that a woman who demands status and power is not a suitable husband? And yet you're willing to wade into this quagmire of power and wealth for someone like that?"
Jiang Yuanfeng's eyes flashed with displeasure, "She is different from ordinary women. Anyway, I am willing to do this for her and give her the best of everything!"
Ji Xiangli was quite disdainful of Jiang Yuanfeng's words.
However, it was these few words that touched Niu Saner's heart.
Glancing reluctantly at Ji Jiaru lying on the ground, he became even more excited: "You said a few days ago that I am the prime minister of the world. So, do you think this means that if I really replace the crown prince, I will definitely succeed?!"
Jiang Yuanfeng turned to look at him, smiled meaningfully, and nodded, "Of course, God is on your side."
Ji Xiangli rolled his eyes, idiot!
It was obvious that this was a trap designed by the other party. I was trapped in it and was counting money for others.
But then he came to his senses and looked at Niu Saner: "Did you see him a few days ago?"
