C116

The black-clothed man did not bring Ji Yunkai out of the Grand Princess Mansion but instead, placed her in the west wing.

Ji Yunkai was awake the whole time, but she was afraid that there would be people observing from the shadows, and so she did not move recklessly. She laid on the bed motionlessly, waiting for the other party to make a move.

Your Majesty!

Was she worth the Emperor's scheming?

"Yes, all of you can leave. Come back in an hour." The Emperor paused at the door, dismissed the people behind him, and stepped into the room.

Ji Yunkai did not move and waited for the Emperor to make his move.

The Emperor walked in and stood at the entrance for a long while before closing the door and walking forward. He stood by the side of the bed and sized Ji Yunkai up: "While wearing a mask, you're not that disgusting anymore."

The Emperor bent down and swiped his finger across Ji Yunkai's perfectly fine left cheek. "We have prepared so many beauties for Xiao Jiu'an, but not one of them managed to gain his trust and to make him lower his guard and protect them. We never thought that you would be like this, and make Xiao Jiu'an protect and trust you. You sure are capable."

It was unknown if it was due to some psychological effect, but Ji Yunkai felt that the Emperor's finger was like a poisonous snake. It was so cold that it did not have a trace of warmth. It was slippery and annoying, and she could not shoo it away from her.

When his fingertips gently caressed the cold mask on Ji Yunkai's right cheek, the Emperor's fingers stiffened and he stopped moving. "We heard that when a woman loses her body, she will lose her will, and your heart will always be with Us. If you lose your dignity again, We believe you won't reject anything that We want you to do."

When Ji Yunkai heard the Emperor's words, she was so shocked that she almost bounced up.

The Emperor was putting his all into this. He would sell himself all for the sake of military power. But, even if the Emperor were to give her to a brothel, she still would not do it!

It was a good thing that the Emperor's next words made her feel at ease.

"Unfortunately, We have no interest in you." The Emperor took off Ji Yunkai's mask casually, and looked at her ugly left cheek: "As long as We see your face, our appetite will not be satisfied."

He was an emperor, and he did not need to force himself to touch or marry a woman he did not like. He only wanted to trample on Ji Yunkai and force her to obey him. He did not need to wrong himself in the process.

"Ji Yunkai, don't blame Us for being vicious. If you want to blame something, blame your bad luck for getting into Xiao Jiu'an's eyes." The Emperor opened Ji Yunkai's mouth and placed a pill into her mouth.

Ji Yunkai did not know what the Emperor fed her, but she was sure that it was not good.

Pretending to swallow, Ji Yunkai's tongue moved slightly as she hid the pill under her tongue.

When the Emperor saw Ji Yunkai swallow the pill, he let her go in satisfaction and said to the people outside, "Go, find a man for Us!"

No matter how foolish Ji Yunkai was, she knew what kind of medicine that the Emperor had fed her.

Did he feed her aphrodisiac?

The Emperor is shameless!

Was this the dignified emperor of a country?

It was simply… Shameful.

Ji Yunkai quietly opened her eyes, and seeing that the Emperor was standing with his back to her, a cold light flashed past her eyes. Without giving herself much time to think, or giving the Emperor any time to react, Ji Yunkai held onto a golden needle and leaped toward the Emperor.

*Puchi!* The golden needle in her hand silently stabbed into the Emperor's neck.

The Golden Needle Technique that Feng Qi taught her was very useful.

"You…" The Emperor suddenly turned his head and saw Ji Yunkai's enlarged face. He was shocked and furious, and he opened his mouth to call for someone, but he could not make a sound. He soon closed his eyes and fainted.

Ji Yunkai sneered, took out the pill hidden under her tongue, and stuffed it into the Emperor's mouth, forcing him to swallow it. "I hope this pill is very effective."

It was all thanks to the Emperor that she was able to eat so much humiliation before. Today, she did not plan to suffer any more losses, nor did she plan to remain silent. As for the consequences?

Even if she did not do anything, the Emperor would never let her off. Why would she care about the consequences?

After feeding him the medicine, Ji Yunkai tossed the Emperor onto the bed. She then put on her mask and flipped open the window to leave.

She had heard that the Emperor had ordered his men to withdraw. Presumably, there was no one else in the vicinity.

Indeed, when Ji Yunkai went out of the window, she did not alarm anyone.

Quickly leaving the west wing, Ji Yunkai adjusted her clothes, and then jumped onto the small path and soon arrived at the washroom. There was no one outside, and Baoqin was still lying on the ground inside the room.

"The Emperor is extremely arrogant. Is he sure that I won't dare to reveal myself after suffering such a loss?" Ji Yunkai could not help but think that if she lost herself to the Emperor, what would happen?

Uh... When she thought of that possibility, Ji Yunkai felt goosebumps all over her body.

It was not as if she valued innocence more than life, but that she really could not accept the Emperor, even if he was not bad looking.

With the Golden Needle Technique that she had learned, Ji Yunkai was able to wake Baoqin up very quickly. As soon as she woke up, her face turned pale. "Princess, are you alright?" She deserved to die for not protecting the Princess Consort!

"It's fine. Let's go." Ji Yunkai's voice was cold, obviously unhappy, but Baoqin did not dare to ask too much. She got up, straightened her clothes, and then followed Ji Yunkai out.

Thinking about what had just happened, Baoqin did not dare to decide without permission. She secretly sent a signal to the people of Prince Yanbei's Mansion, informing them that their Princess Consort had almost gotten into an accident in the Grand Princess Mansion!

After leaving the washroom, Ji Yunkai did not return to the lakeside, but instead, walked toward a remote place with no one around. Baoqin was afraid that Ji Yunkai would get lost. She felt embarrassed to say anything, yet took the initiative to ask her, "Princess, where are we going?"

Ji Yunkai said, "Finding a random place to wait, and then I'll go back after the banquet." She did not want the Grand Princess to know that she was fine. Just in case that when her plan had failed, she had another plan waiting for her.

'The brawny man the Emperor wanted should have arrived by now. I wonder if the Emperor is enjoying himself properly?'

However, that person would not dare to touch the Emperor, and so she could only secretly think about it.

Ji Yunkai could not help but say, "What a pity…" She wanted to see just how angry the Emperor would become after being messed with by others.

For such a shameful thing, the Emperor would probably be so angry that he would kill her to silence her. However, she was currently Prince Yanbei's Wife and the Emperor could not kill her as he pleased.

She wanted to laugh when she thought of how the Emperor wanted nothing more than to tear her to pieces, but being unable to do so.

"Princess, what's wrong?" Baoqin asked worriedly. Seeing Ji Yunkai so happy at first, then shaking her head and then sighing... She was afraid that their Princess had suffered some sort of misfortune.

Ji Yunkai said, "It's fine. Let's find a place to sit and then… Just wait to see a good show." There were some things that she could not say. Forget about Baoqin who was just a maidservant, even if Xiao Jiu'an was here, she still would not say anything.

Though she was knew that Xiao Jiu'an would never sell her out or use her to please the Emperor due to his pride, but…

She would not tell him!
