"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 117

 Ji Ling Xue sneered: "You saw it with your own eyes, are you sure you saw this princess kill her, then what was the murder weapon, how did I kill her, I didn't leave the scene of the crime after killing her so that I can be implicated by you?"

Yi Yun's maid shuddered in fright under Ji Ling Xue's gaze but she still maintained her stance: "This servant saw it, you stood at miss Mo Li's bedside...this servant couldn't see what the princess was doing from this angle, but seeing Miss Mo Li's appearance, she must have been poisoned, you wanted to get rid of the evidence..."

Ji Yu Qing interrupted: "What happened here, it's getting more confusing, older sister, you have no grudge against Miss Mo Li, why did you kill her?"

Ji Ling Xue clapped saying: "Younger sister is correct, why would I kill someone I barely know, someone I have no enmity with, since I can't prove my innocence no matter what, then let miss Mo Li tell the truth herself."

"What, how can a dead person speak, how can she explain your innocence, princess you're joking right?"

"That's right, miss Mo Li is already dead, how can she open her mouth and speak, princess don't say such frightening things, you're not going to get miss Mo Li's ghost to come out right?"

The atmosphere instantly became weird, most of the people felt a chill on the back of their neck.

While everyone was talking at once Xiao Yi Chen had walked to the bed to check Mo Li's nose, helplessly shaking his head. He turned to look at Ji Ling Xue, not knowing where Ji Ling Xue's confidence came from.

Xiao Yi Chen's doubts were the same doubts of everyone there, Mo Li's lips had turned purple, blood at the corner of her mouth, it was very clear she had been poisoned. When poison entered the heart, maybe an immortal can save her, besides it wasn't known when the poison began acting on Mo Li lying on the bed.

Ji Ling Xue said: "When I had just entered behind the screen, I saw Mo Li spit out blood, so I used a needle to seal her heart meridian." At this moment Ji Ling Xue thanked Mo Xiang, because she personally had been poisoned, Mo Xiang had read a lot of books on poison, from listening she had learned how to treat other poisons.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, Ji Yu Qing and Chu Xin looked at each other, Yi Yun was delighted: "Then that's great, I didn't expect princess to know how to treat poison, quick take a look at Mo Li, what was she poisoned with?"

Yi Yun's maid looked at Ji Ling Xue with doubt, considering if she was speaking the truth...

Ji Ling Xue said: "Everyone leave." She didn't like having so many pairs of eyes staring at her in the room while she treated the poison.

Yi Yun immediately asked everyone to leave, only Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Chen were left in the room.

Of course Xiao Yi Chen wasn't going to leave, he found a stool and sat down looking like he was here to observe.

Ji Ling Xue's forehead were filled with black lines, if he wasn't going to help, he should leave, such an irksome presence.

Xiao Yi Chen couldn't hear Ji Ling Xue's inner mutterings, he asked: "When did princess study medicine, this prince didn't know at all, it seem this prince doesn't really know princess."

Ji Ling Xue rolled her eyes, while she waited for Yi Yun with the things she needed to treat poison, she returned to the bed loosening Mo Li's collar to see the pulse at her neck, then she picked up and looked at Mo Li's nails.

Yi Yun was very quick, in a moment she had brought over the things Ji Ling Xue needed, those noble women waited outside in the courtyard, waiting for Ji Ling Xue to make a fool of herself, or for a miracle to appear.

Time passed by, the people waiting outside were anxious, the room was still quiet, Ji Ling Xue used a knife to cut a line on Mo Li's wrist, letting the black blood bleed out, finally giving her a black pill.

Yi Yun was frightened by the sight, she looked at the not deep yet not shallow wound on Mo Li's wrist asking: "Why did you have to make a cut at the wrist, can't you just directly feed her the pill?"

Ji Ling Xue shook her head: "Of course not, a pill can only treat the surface poison, the poison had entered miss Mo Li's heart meridian, I used a needle to seal the acupuncture, preventing the poison from spreading, and force the poison out from the heart at the same time."

Yi Yun nodded, no longer looking at Ji Ling Xue with doubt. After a while, the blood flowing from Mo Li's wrist gradually turned red, only then did Ji Ling Xue apply an ointment, using gauze to wrap the wound.

On the bed, Mo Li moved, the next moment she spat out something with blood. Yi Yun was surprised and happy, crying out, however Mo Li still had her eyes shut.

Yi Yun asked anxiously: "When will Mo Li wake up?"

Ji Ling Xue shook her head: "That depends on the person's body, those with good recovery abilities will wake up quicker than others."

Xiao Yi Chen stood up patting Ji Ling Xue's shoulder, "Princess has worked hard..."

Ji Ling Xue shook her head, it wasn't hard.

Xiao Yi Chen passed a jujube to Ji Ling Xue who had just washed her hands.

Ji Ling Xue picked up the jujube looking at it, she was about to eat it when a weak voice suddenly came from the bed, "Don't eat it, jujube...there's poison in the jujube."

One sentence caused a turmoil, Xiao Yi Chen's complexion changed, snatching the jujube from Ji Ling Xue's hand he threw it away, coldly looking at Yi Yun, wanting her to explain, why there was poison in the food?

Yi Yun paled, silently cursing her subordinates for not doing things perfectly. She had originally only invited Ji Ling Xue here, with the plan of putting poison in the fruit, only Ji Ling Xue's fruit would be poisoned, then when the poison acted on her way back, no one would suspect her.

However she never imagined Xiao Yi Chen would come with Ji Ling Xue, she could only hurry to the kitchen to order them to throw away all the poisoned jujubes, who knew there was a slip-up, no wonder Mo Li was poisoned.

Yi Yun was deathly pale, "I...I don't know why this is..." Her harmless expression made Xiao Yi Chen think she wouldn't be so cold-hearted.

Xiao Yi Chen looked at the fruit platter on the table, frowning he pursed his lips.

Ji Ling Xue walked over, taking a needle to test for poison, it was true the jujubes were poisonous.

Mo Li weakly coughed: "Just now...cough, cough, who saved me?"

Yi Yun held Mo Li's hand weeping, she looked at Ji Ling Xue, "Mo Li, princess saved you, it's great, if something happened to you, I would be the one to blame."

Mo Li looked at Ji Ling Xue with gratefulness, "Thank you princess for saving me, if princess has use of Mo Li in the future, Mo Li would go through water and tread on fire to repay princess's favour."

Ji Ling Xue smiled, "Fortunately I found out in time, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to save you, you're lucky."

Yi Yun knelt in front of Ji Ling Xue, "Prince and princess, such an incident occurred in my home, it's my oversight, princess also almost suffered, Yi Yun ought to die, when Yi Yun finds out who administered the poison, I will give prince and princess an explanation."

Ji Ling Xue said: "I'm fine, miss Mo Li is the one who suffered, you ought to give an explanation to her."

Yi Yun let out a breathe, luckily Mo Li recovered today, she would have been in a sea of regret for the rest of her life, thinking of this, she looked at Ji Ling Xue with gratitude.

Ji Ling Xue pushed open the door and left, giving Yi Yun a view of her back.

Xiao Yi Chen's expression was very bad, thinking about how he almost gave a poisoned jujube to Ji Ling Xue he was extremely angry.

Ji Ling Xue looked over at Xiao Yi Chen smiling: "Prince is feeling guilty?"

Xiao Yi Chen tightened his grip on Ji Ling Xue's hand, using his actions to show he was very concerned about her just now.

Ji Ling Xue smiled, she had been plotted against since she was young, all sorts of poisons were often placed in the food, she was already used to it, she just didn't think Yi Yun was that prejudiced against her, wanting to kill her, and unfortunately Mo Li became a scapegoat.

This was the last time she let Yi Yun go, if there was a next time, she definitely will return an eye for an eye.

The two left the residence directly, just like how they came, it was very quiet in the carriage, when the carriage passed the streets, Ji Ling Xue lifted the curtain to look outside.

Xiao Yi Chen said: "When the cooking competition will take place has been decided, next years January fifteenth."

Ji Ling Xue's eyes flashed, next year was something she really looked forward to.

The days were calm again, Ji Ling Xue heard Mo Xiang say, Xiao Yi Chen sent Zi Su away because Zi Su wasn't good at serving Xiao Yi Chen, she broke the ink stone Xiao Yi Chen liked the most.

Ji Ling Xue was rather surprised hearing this, Zi Su was a maid, you could imagine how meticulous she was, how can she break an ink stone, it was merely an excuse.

Maybe Ji Yu Qing couldn't stand Zi Su, Xiao Yi Chen used it as an opportunity to chase Zi Su away.

The day Zi Su left, Ji Ling Xue got Mo Xiang to see her off with some fragments of silver and rations. After Zi Su took the rations, she paid her respects in the direction of Ji Ling Xue's courtyard, then she got in the carriage and left.

The prince's residence was tranquil as before, for the last few days Ji Yu Qing came to visit Ji Ling Xue in the morning and evening, sometimes talking about daily life, Ji Yu Qing didn't complain about Zi Su leaving, she only sighed over the maid having a good fate, having been a servant for half her life, she finally got her freedom.

In a blink half a month passed, Ji Yu Qing could not sit still, having not being contacted by the mysterious person, she took the initiative to make contact, that night, Ji Yu Qing let out a carrier pigeon.

Ji Yu Qing would never have dreamed, the bird she had let out, the carrier pigeon she watched fly away with her own eyes was currently in Xiao Yi Chen's study, after Xiao Yi Chen had read the message he once again tied it back on the carrier pigeon's leg, ordering someone to follow it.

Ji Ling Xue was very bored recently, hearing from Xiao Si that someone had opened a casino on the outskirts of the west, she wanted to take a look, lacking martial arts, whatever she wanted to do she needed to trouble An Ge.

An Ge was under a lot of pressure when he carried out Ji Ling Xue out of the residence on his back, the prince's secret guards always observed their movements, if he knew he had carried the princess on his back he would lose his skin.

After pondering over this An Ge went to Xiao Yi Chen to lay his cards on the table, Xiao Yi Chen nodded after hearing this. At night, Ji Ling Xue changed into men's clothes before calling for An Ge, a person appeared, the person who appeared just as easily was Xiao Yi Chen.

Ji Ling Xue blinked, "Prince, are you experiencing the life of a secret guard?"

Xiao Yi Chen rolled his eyes, of course he would be the one to carry his wife on his back, how can An Ge take advantage.

Too lazy to reply to Ji Ling Xue, Xiao Yi Chen directly picked Ji Ling Xue into his arms, a moment later they were on the roof, disappearing into the night.

The night was very dark, the winter wind was especially chilly, Ji Ling Xue held Xiao Yi Chen's neck tightly, burying her face into his chest.

Xiao Yi Chen was speeding along the roof, his mood was very good, if he knew earlier this would make Ji Ling Xue happy and take a little bit of advantage, he wouldn't have wasted his time giving her a lawn.

Xiao Yi Chen asked: "Princess how is your gambling skills?" Why else would she go to a casino?
