Duke Jing's younger sister

Chapter 161 Being stunned

"I don't know." Linlang's tone sounded a little lonely.

This is the truth.

She didn't know where she was going, or where she could go.

Looking at Linlang's charming profile, Jiang Li's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Leaving Jiangdu City is indeed the best choice for Linlang.

Abandon the past that was once glorious but unbearable to look at.

Go to a strange place where no one knows you and start a new life.

There, there are no strange looks and no sarcastic words.

She could also live more freely.

Since Shen Beiqi was very busy with work today, he sent Yueyang to deliver a message early in the morning, saying that he would not be free to visit her until the evening.

It's a good opportunity for me to spend some time with Linlang today and fulfill their sisterly love.

"Where do you want to go, sister?" Jiang Li asked.

Several people came out of Kaiyuan Temple and followed Linlang to the shore of Jiangyang Lake and boarded a double-decker pleasure boat.

The lake is filled with clear sunlight, and the breeze is winding through the willows on the shore.

The egrets playing in the water flapped their wings and tapped the surface of the lake with their claws, creating ripples.

Linlang asked someone to serve fruit drinks and poured a glass for Jiang Li.

"These fruits have been frozen in advance. They are very good for cooling off. You can try them."

Jiang Li lowered her head and glanced at the purple juice in the glass cup, frowning slightly, "Grape juice?"

Linlang nodded and replied, "Isn't it the season for eating grapes now?"

Xing Ping said hurriedly on the side, "My daughter hates eating grapes the most, so I'm afraid she can't drink this grape juice either."

Jiang Li smiled and handed the glass cup to Xing Ping, "Drink some to cool off."

"Thank you, Miss." Xingping took it and took a sip.

From the tip of the tongue to the throat, it feels cool and sweet, so comfortable.

Linlang did not force her. Seeing that she did not like to drink, she ordered the maid to bring a plate of melon and some tea.

"younger sister."

When Jiang Li was chewing the melon, Linlang suddenly said,

"If... you are now on the brink of life and death, and only one of you can survive, what choice will you make?"

Jiang Li raised his head in surprise and looked at Lin Lang. After a pause, he said,

"That depends on what kind of 'others' they are."

If it was her father, brother, or Shen Beiqi, she would choose to let them live.

Linlang lowered her eyes for a moment, "For example... Miss Shen Er?"

They are not biological sisters, but Linlang can see that they have a good relationship.

"What kind of danger? And why can only one survive?"

Jiang Li said seriously, "Since we are sisters, we should support each other. The two of you should work together to either survive the hard times or go to hell together."

There was something profound in what she said.

The look he gave Linlang was also filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

If Linlang is in trouble, as long as she asks, Jiang Li, as her younger sister, will definitely help her.

Even if she couldn't help, the worst that could happen was that she would act coquettishly and please Shen Beiqi and let him do it.

Anyway, it's becoming more and more convenient to use him now.

Linlang retracted her gaze and smiled, "It's just a casual question. Look how nervous you are."

It is now noon and the sun is at its brightest.

The lake surface was filled with dazzling white light, causing Jiang Li to squint slightly.

Linlang lowered her eyes and drank tea, but her mind was full of thoughts.

To be fair, she didn't want to die, nor did she want others to die.

But now...all she can do is replace the original poison with a common drug.

As for whether he will live or die at that time, it all depends on Jiang Li's own luck.

"By the way, I just asked for a peace amulet at Kaiyuan Temple. This is for you."

Jiang Li raised her hand and placed it in front of Linlang.

The amulet is exquisitely made, with a blooming lotus embroidered on it and a faint scent of sandalwood.

"From now on, no matter where you are, remember to write to me and my brother to let us know that you are doing well."

Linlang smiled unnaturally, picked up the copper chopsticks, and gently shook off the powder on her fingertips.

Then, she gently stirred the incense ash in the cauldron and said, "If I have the chance, I will."

She had already taken the antidote in advance, so the incense was useless to her.

There was suddenly a rich aroma in the cabin.

After a moment, Xingping yawned lazily and felt as if her eyelids weighed a thousand pounds.

She rubbed her eyelids hard, trying to wake herself up, but to little avail.

His head shook slightly, and then he fell down on the edge of the couch like a fallen ear of rice and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Li also felt something was wrong. Her mind seemed to be shrouded in layers of fog, making her feel dizzy.

She held onto the edge of the table and subconsciously raised her head.

Across the curling white smoke, he looked at Linlang in disbelief.

Her eyes were as clear as a spring, yet also like a deep pool, hiding a myriad of complex emotions.

"You... Is this incense poisonous?"

There was a hint of doubt in Jiang Li's voice.

"Sister, I'm sorry..." Linlang said calmly, "Sister wants to live."

Jiang Li couldn't hold on any longer and fell sideways onto the soft carpet.

Linlang stood up and moved to Jiang Li's side.

A trace of guilt flashed across Shuli's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by incomparable determination.

"Don't blame me, sister. I had no choice. Only in this way could I survive..." Linlang whispered softly.

She took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat off Jiang Li's face. Then she helped Jiang Li up and slowly walked out of the cabin.

There were two more men in black on the side of the boat, one was slightly taller and thinner, the other was a little plumper, both with their faces covered with black scarves.

When they saw Linlang appearing with Jiang Li, they immediately went forward to greet them.

"Antidote." She held out her hand.

The tall and thin man in black stared at her for a moment, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and threw it to her.

Just after taking over the unconscious Jiang Li, two figures rose into the air from the willow trees on the shore like flying birds.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it stepped lightly onto the surface of the lake and landed on the deck of the boat.

Without any hesitation, the tall and thin man pulled out a dagger and held it against Jiang Li's neck.

With two "swish" sounds, the sharp sword was unsheathed.

The sword flashed with a cold light, pointing directly at the two men in black.

"If you don't want to die, let her go!"

The man in black narrowed his eyes and looked at the uninvited guest who showed up unexpectedly.

The two men were seen wearing black clothes embroidered with gold patterns. They were actually the Tianzi Golden Guards of the Gongwei Division!

One of the Golden Guards had a cold look in his eyes, "If you dare to hurt her, don't blame us for being rude."

Linlang's face changed slightly. She didn't expect that the people from the Guard Bureau would arrive so quickly.

Could it be that they have been secretly protecting Jiang Li's safety?

Then she thought that this was a good idea, since the antidote was already in hand and Jiang Li would not fall into their hands.

Muxue Teahouse.

In the wing room on the second floor, Yue Yang was still guarding outside the door.

Luo Jue was buried in the mountain of names and said bitterly, "Oh my God, why are there so many people?"

He felt like his head was about to explode. "Is this Lin Zewen crazy? It turns out that every Dongpai student who has been promoted in the past few years has spent a lot of money?"

Buying and selling official positions, do you really think that the Nanwu court is a shop opened by the Lin family?
