“You have quite a righteous temperament.”
Jiang Ming sighed and then continued to drink. His eyes were a little dazed.
“I don’t have anyone I like, but after hearing your words, I can tell you’re in a difficult position. If it were me, even if she did something wrong, I would still protect her. There wouldn’t be any conflict between us.”
Upon hearing Jiang Ming’s words, Prince Qiqihar also started drinking again. There was a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.
According to Jiang Ming’s logic, he had to side with the person who did something wrong.
However, according to his own logic, he was unwilling to associate himself with such a person.
This thought made him feel conflicted.
Jiang Ming also lowered his head. His mind was blank.
It had been so long, but he did not seem to have found anyone he liked.
At this moment, a woman’s cry woke them up.
She put her hands on her hips and grinned. She looked at the two of them strangely. “What are you doing? Waking up in the middle of the night and coming here to drink? Do you want to die?”
The person who came was Liang Sisi.
In order to prevent others from being woken up by her voice, Liang Sisi deliberately lowered her voice. She was very cautious.
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately went directly to Jiang Ming’s side.
“You’re in a good mood. Why did you come here instead of sleeping? I remember that your palace is in the opposite direction from here.”
Prince Qiqihar continued to drink as he teased Liang Sisi. There was an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
Jiang Ming looked at the prince, then at Liang Sisi. He seemed to have understood something.
Perhaps, Prince Qiqihar’s sweetheart was Liang Sisi.
However, what did Liang Sisi do? Why would Prince Qiqihar say that?
After thinking about it, Jiang Ming could not help but think of someone. It was Liang Sisi’s sister, Liang Shengsheng.
However, he did not know what their relationship was. Who knew what was going on behind the scenes?
As she was thinking, Liang Sisi suddenly raised her arm and walked past Jiang Ming. “These are all minor issues. Do you still have wine? I want to drink some too.”
“What’s wrong? Do you have something on your mind? I didn’t notice.”
Prince Qiqihar looked around and handed an unopened bottle of wine to Liang Sisi.
Liang Sisi was also full of pride. She opened the bottle herself without asking for help.
“What are you talking about? How can I have something on my mind? I’m happy every day.”
Upon hearing Liang Sisi’s words, Prince Qiqihar did not know what else to say. He looked at Jiang Ming, indicating that he wanted him to start a conversation.
Jiang Ming saw through Prince Qiqihar’s thoughts and immediately wanted to say something else.
Before he could say anything, a few black shadows flashed past. The three of them immediately became nervous and clenched their wine bottles tightly.
Liang Sisi lowered her voice and said, “These people might want to kill us.”
Just as she said that, the group of people suddenly rushed behind Liang Sisi and the others.
Jiang Ming felt the daggers in their hands, and a chill ran down his neck.
Liang Sisi reacted extremely fast. She rushed behind this group of people, quickly pulled out her hairpin, and stabbed it into the neck of one of the enemies.
“Ah!”
A painful howl was heard. Liang Sisi quickly pulled out the hairpin and continued to stab him continuously.
The blood on the man’s neck was all over Liang Sisi’s dress.
Liang Sisi did not seem to mind at all. A bracelet appeared in her hand, and she grabbed the bracelet to tie the man’s hands.
The man only felt his hands suddenly ache. When he looked down again, his hands had been tied.
“Damn it! You evil woman!”
The man flew into a rage out of humiliation. He went forward and wanted to slap Liang Sisi, but his hand was broken by Jiang Ming.
The sound resounded in the ears of the three people. That man immediately realized something and wanted to counterattack, but it was already too late.
He could not help but shout, and his voice alarmed the people of the Daliang Kingdom.
“Assassins! Assassins!”
The candles were lit one after another, and the palace was bright. The sound of people panicking was very clear.
However, by the time King Liang brought his men over, that man had already committed suicide by consuming poison. There was no trace of him at all. The other two had escaped.
Jiang Ming and the others were helpless and could only put it aside for the time being.
The next day, they planned to go out and relax for a while, so they split up and went to the market.
Jiang Ming accidentally knocked into a stall and quickly tidied the place up with the owner.
“Are you Ning Caichen?”
After tidying up, the owner rolled his eyes and grabbed Jiang Ming’s sleeve. He refused to let Jiang Ming leave.
“Yes, why? Do you know me?”
Jiang Ming looked at the owner who pulled him back strangely.
The owner’s eyes were suddenly filled with tears. “I knew it. I knew my prayers would be answered. You’re finally here.”
As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly went forward to help the man up. “What happened? Also, how do you know me?”
The owner realized that he had lost his composure. He stood up shakily and said, “I’m good friends with the imperial doctors in the palace. Your medical skills have long been famous among them. That’s how I learned about you. I know that your medical skills can also kill people. I beg you to save my son. My son was kidnapped by a group of villains.”
At this point, the owner’s eyes were filled with tears, and he almost choked.
“I understand how you feel. Tell me in detail. When was the last time you saw your son?”
Jiang Ming could not refuse the owner, so he continued to ask.
There was some hope in the owner’s eyes. He looked at Jiang Ming with bright eyes and pointed to the distance. “I went to the forest to cut wood and saw my son, but after I chased after him, I found that my son was gone.”
The owner could not hold back his tears anymore. He muttered to himself, “My wife is now terminally ill. I don’t know when this bitter life will end.”
The owner’s eyes were filled with sorrow, and his entire body was haggard.
Seeing the owner like this, Jiang Ming could not help but sympathize with him. He patted the owner’s shoulder and comforted him. “The bitter days will definitely pass. Don’t think too much about it. Your wife might get better.”
The owner let out a long sigh and suddenly felt a little helpless. “We’ve almost used up all our silver. Now, I can barely support my family with this business. I don’t know how long my old body can last.”
He glanced at the owner’s body. The owner’s clothes were tattered and had many patches on them.
