Chapter 922 Endless Arguments
The love was over. When it was daybreak, Gu Yuanqiong put on his clothes, left Mi Yao behind, and walked away.
Mi Yao lay on the bed, without even the strength to turn over. Two tears slid down her tear marks, staining the bed sheet with a fishy smell and spreading a crimson color.
Outside the door, the servant reported that Lord Zhuo, the Prime Minister of Beizhao, had arrived.
Mi Yao responded.
"Please see you."
Led by the maid, Zhuo Minlan walked into the bedroom.
What she saw was shocking. She was suddenly shocked and quickened her pace to move forward.
"What happened to Miss Mi?"
Mi Yao got out of bed with difficulty and wanted to salute.
"You are welcome..."
Zhuo Minlan quickly helped her and laid her back on the bed.
"You are so seriously injured, no need to be polite, please lie down quickly, young lady."
"I haven't seen you for a while, how come you are injured?"
She hesitated for a moment, then made a guess.
"The prince bullied you again?"
The pain from the wound kept coming, Mi Yao was so distressed that she couldn't help sobbing.
"The wound has been treated with medicine, please don't worry, Master Zhuo."
Zhuo Minlan sat on the edge of the bed and punched the bed hard.
"Why is he so rude and unreasonable?"
"Why this time?"
Mi Yao sobbed and felt aggrieved.
"The prince had a new adviser, and they were very close. But I tricked the adviser into parting ways with the prince."
Zhuo Minlan complained, but still showed sympathy.
"Look at you, your old problem has come back again. Why can't you tolerate other close people around the prince?"
"It's fine if it's a woman, but do you mind the man too?"
"I'm not a male concubine, we're just brothers, what do you mind?"
Mi Yao spoke sadly.
"That person's identity is questionable. I'm worried that he's an enemy informant."
Zhuo Minlan is enthusiastic.
"What's that guy's name? I'll check him out."
Mi Yao declined.
"I have asked Senior Sister Ling to help me secretly investigate his true identity."
When the senior sister was mentioned, Zhuo Minlan's expression immediately showed disdain.
"With her stupidity, how can she find out anything? In the end, she has to come to me for help."
Ji Feiyan walked into the room from outside the door.
"I just came back and you're already saying bad things about me. Second Junior Sister claims to be upright, so why are you mocking me behind my back and not in front of me?"
Zhuo Minlan was startled and couldn't help getting angry.
"Do you have manners? Why didn't you let someone know before entering Miss Mi's bedroom?"
Ji Feiyan replied calmly.
"The waiters were busy. I didn't see them."
Zhuo Minlan didn't believe it.
"It's impolite to be impolite, what excuses are there?"
As soon as she heard that the situation was not going well, Mi Yao immediately tried to mediate.
"My Lords, please stop arguing."
She propped herself up and tried to get out of bed.
"Your Excellency Ji, please..."
Zhuo Minlan was worried and quickly helped her lie down.
"Don't move. Don't move."
"You are so badly injured, there is no need to bow to her. I will allow you to do so."
Ji Feiyan was dissatisfied.
"Why are you exempting me from the ceremony?"
Zhuo Minlan glared at her senior sister.
"Didn't you see that Miss Mi was seriously injured? You have no compassion at all. Lord Ji is so cold-hearted."
Ji Feiyan sat down slowly.
"I'm asking you, not forcing Miss Mi to perform the ceremony."
Whenever these two ancestors meet, there will be disputes. Mi Yao feels helpless.
"My Lords, please be patient."
Zhuo Minlan stayed out of it.
"You don't need to persuade me to be calm. Just persuade Senior Sister. She is the one who started the trouble."
Ji Feiyan questioned.
"If you have any grievances, vent them on me. Why are you bullying Miss Mi?"
Zhuo Minlan rolled her eyes at her senior sister without any hesitation.
"Who bullied her? I said something and that was bullying her? She is even better than my own sister, how can I bear to bully her?"
Ji Feiyan chuckled.
"Oh, dear sister."
"Second Junior Sister really knows how to flatter herself. You don't even think about how old you are. You're talking about sisterhood with a young girl. Haha, how shameless."
"I know myself well and I love Miss Mi as if she were my own daughter."
Zhuo Minlan frowned, filled with indignation.
"I said my own sister, and you said my own daughter. What do you mean?"
"You mean, you are my elder?"
"You and I are sisters from the same sect. If you joke like this, where do you put the master and the fellow disciples?"
Ji Feiyan looked indifferent.
"I'm just making a metaphor."
"Second Junior Sister, you are so serious."
Persuasion was useless, so Mi Yao had to change her strategy, find something to say, change the subject, and try to calm their dispute.
"Excuse me, Master Ji, have you found out the true identity of Jiang Hong?"
Ji Feiyan replied.
"I have an idea."
"I came here to talk about this."
"You guessed right, Jiang Hong, he is indeed one of the enemies."
Mi Yao was slightly startled.
"Oh?"
"Who is he?"
Ji Feiyan has a kind face.
"No conclusion has been reached yet. Let me find out more."
Zhuo Minlan sneered.
"Haha, Senior Sister, you are really capable. I admire you."
Ji Feiyan's smile suddenly disappeared.
"Stop being so sarcastic. Do you think it's easy to secretly investigate a wise man given our current status?"
Zhuo Minlan denied it.
"I just mean, it's not simple, so I admire Senior Sister."
"Why is it so weird?"
"My tone may not be nice, but please forgive me, Senior Sister, and don't be so serious."
Ji Feiyan glared coldly.
"You don't do your job, you just make fun of others."
"How have you done what the prince ordered?"
Zhuo Minlan was very proud of herself.
"The situation has calmed down for the time being. It can be considered as an accomplishment."
Ji Feiyan captured the key points.
"Really?"
"Second Junior Sister is really capable. She secretly watched Master Xiao An. It took her so long to do such a small thing."
"I admire you."
Zhuo Minlan was angry.
"Do you think it's easy to meet Princess Yuexi with our current status?"
"Master sister, you must know that Princess Yuexi is not only a man of strategy, but also a high-ranking enemy."
Ji Feiyan responded with sarcasm.
"Yes, I know, that's why I admire you."
Zhuo Minlan was angry.
"you……"
Mi Yao took advantage of the opportunity and changed the subject again.
"Master Zhuo, have you seen Princess Yuexi?"
Zhuo Minlan nodded.
"Yeah, see you."
Mi Yao was depressed and unhappy.
"Is she...beautiful?"
Seeing that she was unhappy, Zhuo Minlan tried to comfort her with kind words.
"In my opinion, she is definitely not as beautiful as you."
"Regardless of appearance, in terms of character alone, you are better."
"I really can't understand why the prince favors her and ignores you. If it were me, I wouldn't even look at her, and my heart would only hold you."
Mi Yao smiled again.
"Thank you for your praise, Master Zhuo. I don't deserve it."
Ji Feiyan felt sorry for her and tried to coax her.
"Miss Mi, please don't be self-deprecating."
"Don't listen to the prince's nonsense. If you think you are not pretty enough, I think you are the most beautiful woman in the world. Not to mention Princess Yuexi, even Madam Mei is not as beautiful as you. Not even a bit."
Zhuo Minlan finds fault.
"What you said is nonsense."
"Have you ever seen Madam Mei? How can you comment on their beauty?"
"You are a great Bei Zhaocheng, but you speak irresponsibly."
Ji Feiyan retorted.
"Even if I haven't seen the real person, I have seen the portrait. How can I make a false comment?"
Just after a moment of peace, they started arguing again. Mi Yao quickly ended the conversation to prevent them from arguing endlessly.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master Ji. I am ashamed."
Zhuo Minlan stood up for the weak and expressed her concern.
"Instead of arguing, you might as well help Miss Mi and say a few good words to ask the prince to let her go."
"How can you bully others like this? This is too much."
