Chapter 684: Knowing the Truth, Pretending to Be Confused
Chang Yi looked at the Grand Princess in surprise, "Zhenzhen, what do you want to do with the empty wine jar?"
"I have a gift for the general." The Princess Taichang responded with a smile.
Upon hearing about the gift, Chang Yi's heart leaped with joy, and he even joked, "Then how big a wine jar should I prepare?"
"If the general prepares a big one, I will pack it more neatly. If the general prepares a small one, I will pack it more loosely." There was always a faint smile on the corners of the princess's mouth.
"Then I'd better prepare something bigger, so as not to destroy the integrity of the gift that the Grand Princess gave me."
The Princess Royal smiled but said nothing.
As soon as the banquet was over, Chang Yi immediately ordered someone to find an empty wine jar, which was about half the height of a person and just as wide as a person's waist.
He personally delivered it to the Princess Dowager, but did not see Li in the Princess Dowager's room.
Ji Chuhe has a special status. Even if she travels with the Princess Grand Princess during the day, she has her own place to live at night.
Li was different. Her status was similar to that of a maidservant beside the Princess Taichang. It was impossible for her to have an independent room to rest.
Seeing Chang Yi looking around, the Princess asked unhappily, "General, are you looking for Li? You missed her so much after such a short time?"
"I suddenly remembered that there are still some things I haven't told her, so I have to tell her in person." Chang Yi didn't see anyone, and he felt a little uneasy.
"Chang Yi, I gave you face, didn't I? If you can't bear to leave the Li family, why bother sending me back to the imperial capital? Why don't you just go back to Yancheng now!"
"Zhenzhen, you misunderstood me. I was worried that she would be clumsy and not be able to serve you well. Actually, I didn't have anything else to ask her. I just wanted to tell her to be respectful to you."
"You don't need to worry about that. Li has served you well. It's getting late. General, you should go back and rest. I still have to prepare a gift for you myself."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Chang Yi walked out of the Princess Grand Princess's residence, turned around the corridor, and saw Ji Chuhe sitting in the pavilion.
Xiao Yan'an, wearing a mask, stood beside Ji Chuhe.
Ji Chuhe is feeding a little civet cat.
Just when she was about to go to sleep, she suddenly heard the cry of a kitten. Xiao Yanan accompanied her to this place and took some food to feed the cat.
Seeing Chang Yi, Ji Chuhe put down everything in his hands and prepared to go back to his room to rest.
"Madam, wait a minute." Chang Yi suddenly called out and turned to walk towards Ji Chuhe.
Xiao Yan'an immediately stood in front of Ji Chuhe and looked at Chang Yi warily.
"I am sorry for disturbing the Crown Prince's wife. Please forgive me." Chang Yi bowed to Ji Chuhe.
"General Chang, is there something wrong?"
"I do have something I want to ask the Crown Prince's wife."
"General, please speak."
"I wonder if the Crown Prince's wife and the Grand Princess are riding together today. Will the Grand Princess make things difficult for Li?"
This question is enough to show that Chang Yi is not completely indifferent to Li, but what is the meaning of caring?
Doesn’t Chang Yi know the princess’ temper and style?
Not to mention that Li really murdered the Princess Grand Princess, even if Li did nothing, as long as the Princess Grand Princess disliked her, she would have no chance of having a good life.
"General Chang, in fact, you should have the answer to this question in your heart, so why bother asking me?"
Chang Yi choked and looked a little ugly.
"The Princess Dowager doesn't like Li, so it is foreseeable that Li will be embarrassed." Chang Yi wanted to find a way out for himself.
Chang Yi didn't know that Li had poisoned the Princess Grand Princess, and he had no idea what the Princess Grand Princess was going to do to Li next.
This man seemed to be living in a dream he created for himself. He was mysteriously confident and felt that everything was under his control.
"General, I have a question for you as well."
"Excuse me, Madam Crown Prince."
"Putting Li next to the Grand Princess is like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth. What kind of result do you want?"
Ji Chuhe's questions were so sharp that Chang Yi's expression changed again and again.
This is not just a question, it's a reminder.
She didn't wait for Chang Yi's answer and turned to walk into the house.
Chang Yi looked back at the Princess Grand Princess's residence, but did not go back. Instead, he chose to leave.
Xiao Yan'an didn't understand why Ji Chuhe suddenly asked Chang Yi that question. What if Chang Yi found out something and couldn't explain it, it would ruin their plan.
"Madam, when you asked Chang Yi that question just now, aren't you afraid that he will find out something?"
"I didn't think too much about it at that moment. Sometimes, I also hope that I was wrong, but human nature is sometimes like that."
Xiao Yan'an also felt that Chang Yi's behavior was really indescribable.
What good could come of Li falling into the hands of the Grand Princess? What could the Grand Princess not do?
"Prince, have the spies you sent out found any suspicious people? I think Chang Ru is about to take action."
"Don't worry, Madam. We will be able to find out immediately if there is any unusual movement."
"Yeah." Ji Chuhe nodded.
She is still very confident in the capabilities of the secret guards she has established.
……
The light was still on in the Princess Royal's room.
She couldn't sleep at all.
Li knelt in front of her in a miserable state.
The burn on the mouth had turned from pink to dark and sticky.
Li is now unable to make any sound, his tongue has been burned, he has a high fever and is in a coma.
"Wake her up for me." The Princess Taichang ordered softly.
The nanny immediately stepped forward, picked up a bamboo clip, clamped Li's fingers, and pulled the ropes on both sides hard.
The intense pain allowed Li to regain some consciousness, and she opened her eyes and looked at the Princess Taichang in front of her.
She didn't know whether she would be able to see the moment when the Princess Taichang was killed.
She felt like she couldn't hold on any longer.
"Ms. Li, do you see this jar? This was prepared by Chang Yi himself. I plan to stuff you into it and give you as a gift to Chang Yi."
"But you are so big, how can you fit into this small jar? It seems that I can only chop you into several halves, so that you can fit in it, right?"
Lee whimpered.
"You are scolding me, right? I know you must be scolding me in a very ugly way! But I can't hear a word you say, so don't waste your time. Your mouth must hurt, right?"
Li whimpered for a while and then stopped, fainting from the pain.
Princess Taichang looked at Li and suddenly thought of something.
"Tell me, if we chop off her legs and arms and put her in a jar, will she die immediately? If she doesn't die immediately, how long can she last?"
