Chapter 128 Congratulations, you got what you wanted
On the other hand, after Jiang Ci finished speaking, Mu Qingli's eyes were filled with disappointment and her heart was filled with pain.
After Jiang Ci finished speaking, he walked straight to the armchair in the main seat and sat down without even looking at the others' reactions.
His expression was condescending, but his hands hidden under his sleeves clenched again.
After reacting, Wanyue broke free from Baiyu and knelt down again.
"Your Highness, I am willing to die. Please don't make things difficult for the princess."
After saying that, she took advantage of Bai Yu's inattention, pulled out the dagger at his side, and was about to stab it towards his heart, but Mu Qingli grabbed the sword blade so fast that even Bai Yu didn't react.
In an instant, blood gushed out from her right hand that was holding the sword.
Wan Yue was shocked by her action and immediately let go of the dagger in her hand. She then hurriedly tore off the corner of her skirt to tie up Mu Qingli's bleeding right hand.
There was a cry in her voice: "Princess, are you stupid? I'm not worthy."
When Jiang Ci saw the particularly glaring blood on her hand, he almost couldn't help but stand up, but in the end he hardened his heart.
Mu Qingli reached out and hugged Wanyue, ignoring the bleeding wound on his hand.
Nodding vigorously at Jiang Ci.
"I agree. I agree to both of your conditions. You can place as many people as you want in the Princess's Mansion. I only want Wan Yue."
"Okay, in that case, Bai Yu, give Wan Yue's indenture to the princess. From now on, Wan Yue will have no further connection with the Sixth Prince's Mansion."
However, at this time, Bai Yu's attention was all on Wan Yue and Mu Qingli, and he didn't hear what Jiang Ci said at all. Finally, Jiu Yue walked in from outside the hall and brought the neatly stacked indentures to Mu Qingli.
She reached out to take it, and seeing that it was indeed Wanyue's indenture contract, she used her uninjured left hand to tear the indenture into pieces bit by bit with great difficulty. This scene made Bai Yu, who was beside Wanyue, couldn't help but tear up his eyes.
Wanyue burst into tears.
After raising the torn indenture in her hand, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from Wanyue's face, with the corners of her mouth raised, her smile sincere and frank.
"From now on, there will be no more indentures. Wanyue, you are free. If you want to return to the Princess's Mansion with me, I will take you back with me. If you don't want to go back to the Princess's Mansion, that's fine too. You can go wherever you want and live whatever life you want. The indenture should not be a bondage to you. You are you, not anyone's servant."
Wanyue reached out to hug her, but the tears on her face couldn't stop.
"Princess, I will go back with you. As long as you don't mind, I will be wherever you are from now on. I will follow you for the rest of my life."
Mu Qingli patted her back, and tears finally flowed uncontrollably.
"Okay, let's go back."
The two of them supported each other to stand up. Mu Qingli looked up at Jiang Ci again, but this time, there was no emotion in her eyes, as if she was looking at a stranger.
"I've learned a lesson from the Sixth Prince's methods. He used Wanyue's life to force me to compromise. Congratulations, you've got what you wanted."
After saying this, she took Wanyue's hand and left.
Xiao Tao had been standing outside the hall. She was deeply shocked by the scene of Mu Qingli tearing up Wan Yue's indenture contract, and the relationship between Mu Qingli and Wan Yue made her extremely moved.
Looking at the two people walking out together, she hurriedly wiped the tears from her face and stepped forward to support Mu Qingli on the other side.
It was not until the backs of the three people walking side by side disappeared from his sight that Jiang Ci stood up and left in a daze.
Only Bai Yu, who was still in a daze, and Jiu Yue, who looked as if she had realized what was going on, were left in the hall.
Jiu Yue picked up the white porcelain bottle that had fallen on the ground, unscrewed the cork, and put it to her nose to smell it.
When the familiar smell came, Bai Yu, who had just come back to his senses, was shocked and ready to drink the so-called poison in the bottle.
Bai Yu grabbed his hand and tried to snatch the bottle from his hand.
"You're crazy, that's poison."
Jiu Yue looked at him as if he were a fool, without saying a word, and then drank the liquid in the bottle directly.
"It's just wine. No wonder His Highness just called you stupid. It's true. It's such an obvious thing, don't you understand it now?"
Seeing that he didn't show any signs of poisoning after drinking the wine, Bai Yu snatched the porcelain bottle from his hand and sniffed it, only to smell a strong aroma of alcohol.
Isn't it poison? How could it be alcohol?
His eyes were confused and dull as he confirmed again what Jiu Yue had just drunk.
After confirming that it was ordinary wine, he looked at Jiu Yue in confusion and asked again.
"what happened?"
Seeing that he still hadn't reacted, Jiu Yue had no choice but to explain to him.
After listening to Jiu Yue's explanation, Bai Yu finally reacted.
"I see, then why didn't you tell me?"
September patted his shoulder and spoke earnestly.
"You are the key to whether this play can go on smoothly. It is precisely because you are completely unaware that this play becomes more real."
Bai Yu now understood everything, but he had a question. Now that Wan Yue had gone back, what about him?
He had finally confessed his feelings to Wanyue, but now, wouldn't he and Wanyue be separated by two houses?
In response to his question, Jiu Yue shrugged, indicating that she was powerless and asked him to go find his master.
But how could he dare to do that at this time?
It's not like he didn't see how ugly his master's face was just now.
It seems that I can only go to see Wanyue secretly next time. I believe that my colleagues in the Princess's Mansion will turn a blind eye.
When he made up his mind, he felt much more relaxed.
Meanwhile, Mu Qingli returned to the mansion, and the mansion doctor promptly treated the wound on her hand. Fortunately, the wound was not very deep, and she applied the best medicine. She should be able to recover in a few days, but she must not be exposed to water for the next few days.
Wanyue felt guilty and blamed herself when she looked at the wound on her hand.
"Princess, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I got you injured."
Mu Qingli smiled and comforted him.
"Alright, don't say such things again. You're now a member of my Princess Mansion. Besides, it's just a minor injury. It will heal in a few days. Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. Luckily, Bai Yu came to see me today, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened. I should have thought of it last night, Wan Yue. I'm the one who should say sorry. If you hadn't told me the truth, how could these things have happened today? Fortunately, we caught up. Let's not talk about it anymore. It's all in the past. From now on, we'll just go our separate ways and live our own lives."
Wan Yue noticed the expression on her face and knew that with today's situation, the relationship between her and Jiang Ci would probably not be eased.
I wanted to say a few more words, but in the end I could only sigh deeply.
"Ah."
