Quick Wear: My hair changed color, and I became stronger

Chapter 155 Mission Completed

He Wanyue was under house arrest again.

When Chi Li heard the news, she was not surprised. She understood that it was done and the Marquis would probably be so angry that he would die.

Sure enough, the Marquis who had always treated Chi Li as air actually showed up.

He took big steps, his clothes opening and closing, and after walking in front of Chi Li, he kicked Guqin.

The wooden zither fell to the ground, rolled twice, and then became completely silent. Only two halves remained, accusing the Marquis of being ruthless.

"You have been getting close to her recently. What is your purpose? Do you want her to be as rebellious as your mother and disobey my words?" His eyes were like sharp blades, and his tone was full of accusation and anger.

"Oh, it's so scary. I'm scared to death." Chi Li covered her face and pretended to faint.

Liuguangliucai hugged Chi Li's arms on both sides.

"My Lord, please understand. My young lady is the most timid one. She dares not say anything." Liu Cai said.

"Yes, the young lady has a weak personality, and playing with the eldest lady is just talking about rouge and powder." Liuguang agreed.

The Marquis's anger had not dissipated. He raised his orchid finger and pointed it fiercely at Chi Li. He seemed to be about to spit out some vicious words, but after thinking for a while, he swallowed them back.

He flicked his sleeves, raised his head, and walked away with big strides.

"The person has left, miss." Liuguang said.

Chi Li lowered her hands from covering her face, stood up straight, patted her chest and said, "The Marquis is quite scary when he gets angry."

The flowing light and colors all nodded.

Chi Li wanted to see He Wanyue, but failed this time.

He Wanyue's yard was heavily guarded by servants, and Chi Li couldn't get in at all. She had no choice but to return the same way.

On the way back, I met the twin sisters of the He family whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

Both of them had tired and sad expressions on their faces, and they weren't as enthusiastic as before when they saw Chi Li.

"Sister, you and Sister Wanyue have been inseparable lately. What are you talking about?" He Wanyan showed her signature mask and asked first.

"What can I say? It's just a topic between women." Chi Li replied.

"Sister, father means to give up the second prince. Why?" He Wanxin asked, unable to hold back.

Chi Li patted He Wanxin's shoulder and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Grandmother likes you, why don't you cling to her thighs? Not entering the royal family may not be a bad thing."

He Wanyan's eyes flickered, as if she had figured something out. She smiled sincerely, "Sister, you're right. We're being too stubborn."

"I won't lie to you. I treat you as my friends." Chi Li said seriously.

He Wanxin was equally serious: "We are not friends, we are sisters."

"Yes, yes, they are sisters." Chi Li nodded.

"Then can we still go to your yard to play with you?" He Wanxin asked.

"of course."

----------------------------------------------

Autumn geese fly obliquely across the sky, the osmanthus trees are fragrant, the summer heat has finally receded, and the autumn breeze is cool.

He Wanyue had just been released from confinement not long ago, and when she came to visit Chi Li, she inevitably ran into the two young ladies of the He family. After a few visits, the tension between the two sides was no longer as it was before, and the relationship eased a lot.

The prince's family sent someone to invite Jiang Wenjing to go out for a trip, but after being rejected, they couldn't help but suspect that Jiang Wenjing had won the favor of the He family again.

Jiang Wenjing has been frustrated recently and has become even more resentful towards Jiang Zhili.

The two forces began to confront each other both secretly and openly, which aroused the emperor's fear.

When He Wanyue was about to get married, Jiang Wenjing and Jiang Zhili were fighting fiercely. Jiang Peixuan suddenly appeared and caught them off guard.

The entire mansion was covered in red silk and brocade. Red silk flowers were hung high on the eaves, corridors, plum branches and osmanthus trees, creating a gorgeous scene of bright red.

The women in the mansion were all smiling and saying their blessings; even the usually serious old lady had a smile on her face.

The fiery red sedan chair, adorned with auspicious motifs like hydrangeas and butterflies, shimmered with brilliance. When the wind blew, the curtains swayed gently, revealing the bride's graceful silhouette.

The one riding in the front was a groom in a red robe. Jiang Peixuan looked radiant today, with a gentle smile on his face.

The sedan chair was getting farther and farther away until its shadow could no longer be seen. Chi Li silently wished He Wanyue all the best in her heart, hoping that everything would go smoothly and that all her wishes would be fulfilled.

After He Wanyue got married, time seemed to be wound up, with major events happening one after another.

First, the secret that the second prince Jiang Wenjing's mother, Concubine Liang, had killed innocent civilians was exposed, and then there was conclusive evidence that the prince was recruiting soldiers.

After Concubine Liang was banished to the cold palace, although Jiang Wenjing did not appear to be hurt, his backstage was actually in ruins.

The prince's crime was even more serious, and the emperor was furious. Under Jiang Peixuan's hypocritical persuasion, the prince's fate was changed from imprisonment in the Eastern Palace to immediate strangulation.

After the death of Crown Prince Jiang Zhili, the emperor's condition fluctuated. Jiang Peixuan and Bai Zhenxi hoped that he would die soon, but he was still hanging on.

He Wanyue whispered in Jiang Peixuan's ear every day, asking him to deal with Jiang Wenjing quickly.

Under such high pressure, Jiang Peixuan suddenly came up with a good plan.

At the instruction of the Fourth Prince, Bai Zhenxi spread the news that the emperor was writing his will, and at the same time bribed Jiang Wenjing's confidants.

Jiang Wenjing did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He took the poison and his own courage and started to act.

The emperor was easily poisoned to death by him, and Jiang Wenjing was caught on the spot before he had time to be happy.

Apart from the Fourth Prince, there is also the Third Prince who is powerful but has an empty head. The Third Prince has been defending the border against foreign enemies and has no intention of returning to the city to grab a position.

The fourth prince Jiang Peixuan ascended the throne smoothly. He kept his promise and He Wanyue became the only master in the harem.

That night

He Wanyue wore a phoenix crown decorated with various flowers, pearls and emeralds on her head, and a blue robe with eye-catching vermilion embroidered on the cuffs and edges, and graceful lotus leaf pleats at the hem.

She stood expressionlessly in the dark dungeon. The guard respectfully opened the cell door. Jiang Wenjing, whose clothes were disheveled and covered with whip marks, lay on the ground like a dead dog. He weakly raised his head and shouted, "Help...Help me."

He Wanyue didn't say a word, but just gave Yuan'er a look.

Yuan'er understood what she meant and picked up the blood-stained whip on the ground and strangled Jiang Wenjing's neck swiftly.

He was so weak that his feeble struggle was like an ant trying to shake a tree. After a while, he was completely silent.

------------

"Your brother has become the emperor, don't you want to get an official position?" Chi Li asked, holding his chin.

Bai Zhenxi was peeling an apple, the peels stacked in layers without breaking. After peeling them, he handed the apple to her.

"So strong." Chi Li took the apple and praised.

Bai Zhenxi put down the fruit knife and smiled shyly: "I don't want to be an official, I just want to marry you."

A fat goose that hadn't appeared in a while poked its head in from the window and said, "Congratulations, host. Mission accomplished."
