C3 How about Being My Husband

"Afraid of what?" Yin Jiuqin turned around and smiled sweetly, "If Zhen wasn't injured, why did you go to find Prince Regent?"

Wang Fu saw a scheme quietly emerging in her eyes and suddenly shivered. He actually felt a little cold.

They left the palace unimpeded and did not meet anyone who tried to assassinate her. Yin Jiuqin wrapped her cloak around her and got off the carriage. She signaled Wang Fu to go knock on the door.

When the servant who opened the door saw the token in Wang Fu's hand, he wished he could close the door immediately. However, when he saw Yin Jiuqin again, he did not dare to do so. He could only move aside, his expression full of disdain.

Yin Jiuqin seemed to be taking a stroll in her own courtyard and soon arrived at the main courtyard.

When Ji Heng knew that she had come over, he was stunned. When he raised his head and saw her, he subconsciously frowned, "This official greets the Emperor."

"Dear minister, please do not stand on ceremony." Seeing his reluctance, Yin Jiuqin was excited. She coughed and sat on the chair, drinking tea one cup after another.

Ji Heng waited for a long time but did not see her start. He looked up and saw her slowly sipping tea. He could not help but be stunned, "Is the Emperor here for something?"

"Yes." Yin Jiuqin went straight to the point, "General Jing Wu has the intention of disrespecting an official. Has the Royal Highness ever noticed this?"

"The Emperor does not like him now and wants to find an excuse to deal with him?" Ji Heng's eyes were full of ridicule.

Yin Jiuqin coldly smiled, "He is not worthy of Zhen's public revenge."

"Ji Heng, I know that you are dissatisfied with Zhen's ridiculous actions, but Rong Luo does have evil intentions. I have tried many times, and I did not even hesitate to pull him to my side, but I did not find any clues. Zhen needs your help in this matter."

Yin Jiuqin looked at him seriously. "The reason Royal Father conferred you as Prince Regent before the funeral was because Zhen was young and needed someone to support him. Royal Father believed you, so I also believe you."

Ji Heng did not expect her to say such a thing. For a moment, his heart was boiling and he looked at her steadily. He saw that the eyes of the people who had been looking for beautiful men were clear now. Their eyes were clear, and they did not look confused at all.

He laughed softly and raised his robe to kneel down, "This official obeys the Emperor's orders."

"Quickly get up." Having said it through to him, Yin Jiuqin could not help but let out a sigh of relief and quickly went forward to support him, "Currently the power of the court is controlled by Rong Luo. Most of the people in the court are his accomplices. Zhen came out of the palace this time to test him. I didn't think that he would be so audacious as to kill me."

Yin Jiuqin grinded her teeth, "Fortunately, Zhen was lucky and managed to escape. It is a pity that we did not find any evidence."

Ji Heng saw the deep hatred on her face and his heart twitched. He could not help but raise his hand to hug her and comfort her.

When he came back to his senses, Ji Heng was shocked. His face turned green and white.

Yin Jiuqin opened her fingers and waved them in front of his eyes, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, what does the Emperor plan to do?" Ji Heng calmed himself down and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

Yin Jiuqin suddenly revealed a wicked smile. She opened her arms and pulled him into her arms. She smiled and said, "I wonder if your beloved minister is willing to be Zhen's husband?"

"You..." Ji Heng's face instantly turned black. He suddenly had the thought that she was talking nonsense earlier to let him relax his vigilance so that he could take advantage of her.

Yin Jiuqin giggled. Before he could get angry, she quickly withdrew her hand. "Don't be angry, my beloved. This is just a temporary measure. Zhen has to find a reason to ignore Rong Luo all of a sudden."

"Looking around, in the entire Imperial Court, only my beloved subject's beauty is above his."

Ji Heng's mouth twitched. He looked at her with a complicated expression. His fingers rubbed the ring, but in the end, he helplessly sighed and agreed.

Yin Jiuqin had achieved her goal. She got up happily and left. After staying in the Prince Regent's Residence for so long, it was already dark outside.

In the end, when she was halfway to the road, a cat's cry went through the curtain and into her ears.

Yin Jiuqin had goosebumps all over her body. She held onto the soft pillow tightly and urged the driver to hurry up and drive the carriage.

The sound of cat cries rose and fell one after another. Suddenly, there was a shout from outside, "Protect the Emperor!"

Anxiety spread in her heart and Yin Jiuqin subconsciously lifted the curtain, wanting to see the situation outside.

However, just as the curtain was lifted, a black shadow pounced towards her. Yin Jiuqin did not have time to dodge before a burning pain came from her neck.

She retreated with a hiss and her fingers quickly touched the wound. Her face contorted in pain.

There were four deep scratches on her white and beautiful neck in the western mirror. If she did not shrink fast, she would have lost her life.

If it was anything else, she would have been afraid of cats since she was a child. Now that she was surrounded by a group of wild cats, she didn't even dare to look out.

Fortunately, the guards she brought with her had some ability and were lucky enough to chase away the wild cats.

Wang Fu snorted coldly and ordered two guards to stay behind to clean up the road. After that, he followed Yin Jiuqin back to the Palace.

After Yin Jiuqin returned to the Palace, she carefully applied powder to the mirror to cover the hideous wound on her neck.

Today's incident was definitely not a coincidence. Those cats blocked her way back to the Palace and their target was obviously her. There were only a few people who knew that she was afraid of cats. Yin Jiuqin slammed her palm on the table, "Wang Fu, bring Qingshui and Liu Li over."

This was her personal maid. Wang Fu was stunned for a moment and immediately brought people to bring her and Liu Li over.

Who knew that there was only Clearwater when they came. Yin Jiuqin frowned. "Where is Liu Li?"

"Emperor, when this servant went, she hung herself in the house." Wang Fu's voice was full of hatred.

This way, the matter was very clear. She was afraid that Liu Li would spread the news about the cat, but she did not know who was behind her.

Yin Jiuqin clenched her teeth tightly. She shouted fiercely, "Liu Yi, immediately investigate who she had contact with. Investigate clearly."

In her previous life, she did not find out that Liu Li was a spy even after she died. Even when she woke up in this life, she did not suspect anything.

The other party's chess piece had been planted deeply. Yin Jiuqin's face was livid. She angrily looked at Qingshui who was kneeling on the ground, "Qingshui, you can go down."

After Qingshui left, Wang Fu was just about to speak when he saw blood seeping out from her neck again. He could not help but frown, "Emperor, this servant should find the Imperial Physician to check your wound. If there is a scar, it will be ugly."

Yin Jiuqin was just about to speak when she felt dizzy and fell onto the chair.

Wang Fu turned pale with fright, "Emperor! Emperor! What's wrong with you?"

Yin Jiuqin's vision was blurry and she could not see anything clearly. Her five fingers were tightly gripping onto the armrest as she squeezed out some strength, "Invite Imperial Physician over."

Wang Fu looked closely and saw that the blood on her wound had turned purple and black. The skin and flesh outside had rotted. He immediately panicked and shouted, "Someone come, quickly come over. Quickly invite Imperial Physician Fang over!"
