Chapter 34: Apology Wine
"Please trouble the Third Princess to call the imperial physician over. I am a timid wife." Qiang Huai put his arm around Jiang Jiang's shoulders, letting Jiang Jiang's body lean against Qiang Huai as much as possible.
Although Qiang Huai was confused as to why Jiang Jiang suddenly changed her attitude, at this moment in the eyes of everyone, they had become like a whole, closely connected and sharing weal and woe.
No matter prosperity or decline, honor or disgrace, we all depend on each other.
More importantly, Jiang Jiang always acted in an orderly manner and never caused any trouble to Qiang Huai.
Because of this, Qiang Huai was willing to trust Jiang Jiang unreservedly, just as Jiang Jiang never interfered in his affairs.
Qiang Huai is happy to tolerate occasional bad temper.
Jiang Jiang’s inner thoughts: It’s time to show off my acting skills!
[…A little white flower that cries when something happens. ]
Jiang Jiang: Little White Flower? I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about the villain.
【…】
After the imperial physician checked Jiang Jiang's pulse with a serious face, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The princess is fine." After that, he stood up and packed his medicine box, as if he wanted to leave.
At this time, the Third Imperial Concubine, who had been standing aside and watching, said, "Since the imperial physician has come, why not stay and have dinner with us." She looked at the imperial physician with a smile, her eyes revealing a hint of kindness and enthusiasm.
The imperial physician was a little surprised, but he still nodded politely and agreed. He thought that the Third Imperial Concubine was a kind person, so it would be difficult for him to refuse.
Then, everyone took their seats and began to enjoy the sumptuous banquet.
"It's okay," Qiang Huai held Jiang Jiang's hand and comforted her, "You were hungry just now, come and try Qianli Xiang's cooking. The concubine's sister-in-law specially hired the chef, and I heard the food tastes good."
Qiang Huai reached out and took the bowl in front of Jiang Jiang, looked carefully at the dishes on the table, and thought about Jiang Jiang's usual taste.
Finally, he picked out some lighter dishes and removed the ginger and chili peppers until the pile was full.
Qiang Huai gently pushed the bowl back in front of Jiang Jiang with satisfaction, his eyes full of pampering and love for Jiang Jiang.
It was as if he had done this action of picking up food countless times, as if he was so skilled at it.
Jiang Jiang looked at the bowl full of delicious food in front of him and felt a chill in his heart.
Pampering is fake.
Love is also fake.
The favorability did not increase, but instead dropped by ten points.
The villain is worthy of being a villain, so ruthless and heartless, like a machine without emotions.
【!!! I finally raised my impression! It dropped so fast! Damn it!】
Jiang Jiang: Why are you cursing too!
[I can’t help it. This is too shocking…]
Jiang Jiang: It’s so funny. How can a system be shocked?
"Thank you."
"How are you recently, Fifth Brother? I have offended you just now, but my Royal Brother has already taught me a lesson. Please don't take it to heart. I will apologize to the Fifth Princess on my behalf."
The third prince came out from somewhere holding a wine glass, and it seemed that he had calmed down.
The third prince raised his head generously and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
His movements were quick and his attitude was sincere, as if he really just came to apologize to Jiang Jiang.
As the wine glass was empty, the Third Prince turned it upside down with the mouth of the glass facing downwards, and shook it gently a few times, motioning Jiang Jiang and Qiang Huai to check - there was indeed not a drop left!
Jiang Jiang knew very well that there was poisoned wine in Qiang Huai's wine jug. The farce just now was probably arranged by the Third Prince and Shangguan Yu, who took advantage of the chaos to replace Qiang Huai's wine jug.
Qiang Huai was about to pour the wine when a maid who looked unfamiliar to him beat him to it.
Qiang Huai looked at the wine in the glass, thinking for a moment.
His index finger tapped the tabletop, but did not move.
