Chapter 501 - 154 Looking for Medicine_4
He walked to the window, and the next moment, he was inside the room. Jiang Li hadn’t even been able to see his movements clearly, only perceiving a flash of red before her eyes. She instinctively closed the window tightly, afraid that others might see or hear the commotion inside and arouse suspicion.
The young man sat down at the small table in the room as if he were quite familiar with it, poured himself tea, and drank it, casually asking, "I heard that your maid has been searching all over Yanjing City today for a drug that could induce false pregnancy. Who do you plan to use it on?" He examined Jiang Li with a teasing tone, "You obviously have no use for it yourself."
Jiang Li paused, thinking to herself how quick that was. It had only been a few shichen since Bai Xue returned, and Jih Heng’s people immediately knew about it. In this world, it was clearly simplest to use Jih Heng’s power, so why should she bother doing it herself? But she had no other choice; she still wanted to save face and was embarrassed to ask Jih Heng for help time and time again.
"It is to be used on Princess Yongning," Jiang Li finally said after a pause.
Jih Heng stopped his tea-drinking action and looked at her, "Do you even know what you are doing?"
"I know." Jiang Li smiled, "I am clearer about it than anyone else. I think the time has come. If this continues, I can’t wait any longer. I really want to resolve this matter soon. Princess Yongning deeply loves Shen Yurong, and even if she feels dissatisfied, she will ultimately back down for Shen Yurong, or rather, Shen Yurong has been able to coax her to this point. If this goes on, who knows how many more years it will take."
"This won’t do; I have to give them a push." Her voice was calm and gentle.
Jih Heng watched her, she used to keep many secrets, but now, she didn’t seem to conceal much from him anymore. Aside from the deep secret in her heart, she almost told him everything, as if she trusted him very much.
"Oh, have you found the medicine you were looking for?" Jih Heng asked.
Jiang Li shook her head: "No, this matter is not easy."
