Chapter 343 The Empress, the Hostage from the Neighboring Country Has Returned in Battle (Part 27)
"Yu'an, this is too risky."
If both of them die at your hands, then you will not escape death either.
"Uncle, if Yu'an has no choice but to stay here, I would rather die."
I would rather my death have some value.
Without the eldest princess, Fengming Kingdom will surely suffer a great blow.
That will be the biggest opportunity for the Kingdom of Vientiane.
Yu'an only hoped that he would have the opportunity to return to Vientiane by then.
Once his uncle is gone, Ji Yu'an will likely never have another chance to take revenge.
I'm afraid I won't live much longer than my uncle and his family left.
During this period, my health has improved and I have regained some strength.
This further convinced Ji Yu'an that something must have been added to the medicine he had given him earlier.
Even if the second princess had some affection for him.
But how long can this affection last? Who knows?
It's highly likely that the eldest princess drugged him.
So they knew that the Kingdom of Wanxiang had abandoned him.
Jiang He might very well poison him directly.
He might as well strike first.
Even if he dies, he'll take someone down with him.
Moreover, he killed Jiang He.
They might not necessarily be executed immediately.
He might be imprisoned and suffer some hardship.
If Vientiane moves quickly...
They destroyed the Phoenix Kingdom.
Maybe he can still be saved.
Ji Yu'an had no other choice.
We can only survive by putting ourselves in a desperate situation.
Ji Yu'an's uncle had no other way to save Ji Yu'an.
The emperor has already abandoned the fourth prince, so what way could he possibly save him?
All he can do is perhaps bring Ji Yu'an's remains back if he has the chance in the future.
Let him return to his homeland.
He didn't know how to tell his sister about it when he got back.
After fifteen years apart, the younger sister was really looking forward to Yu'an's return so that mother and son could be reunited.
It's because he's incompetent; he can't help his sister or Yu'an.
Of all the princes back then, Yu'an was the one sent as a hostage.
Now, Yu'an has been abandoned once again.
"Yu'an, your uncle promises you. Your uncle will prepare everything, and he will poison the wine directly into the jar."
Two days later, Ji Yu'an's uncle brought in a jar of wine.
Along with this jar of wine, some other items were also delivered.
These items were all part of the "dowry" prepared by the Kingdom of Wanxiang for Ji Yu'an.
Now that Ji Yu'an and the Second Princess are married, they will represent the Kingdom of Wanxiang and the Kingdom of Fengming, and live together peacefully for a long time.
The two chatted for a long time.
The next day, the envoy from Wanxiang Kingdom bid farewell to the Empress and left Fengming Kingdom.
The envoy from Wanxiang Kingdom hurriedly left Fengming Kingdom.
I feel safer back in my own country.
Once inside the territory of Vientiane, the envoy began his journey at a slower pace.
The outcome of this mission was far from satisfactory.
The envoy could foresee that upon returning, he would surely face His Majesty's wrath.
Ji Yu'an's uncle was also very worried the whole way.
The whole team was in a slump.
Meanwhile, in Fengming Kingdom, Ji Yu'an was also looking for an opportunity to act.
Ji Yu'an and the Second Princess had a tacit understanding regarding Ji Yu'an's actions.
Neither of them mentioned it.
Ji Yu'an continued to drink the medicine that the imperial physician had prescribed for him before he left.
Ji Yu'an has adjusted his condition somewhat.
The second princess was pleased with the attitude of the Kingdom of Wanxiang.
Ji Yu'an will not be taken away.
He will always be his concubine.
The second princess was in a very good mood.
Ji Yu'an finished taking the medicine.
Considering his current physical condition, he figured he could hold out for a while if he were imprisoned.
Jiang He knew about Ji Yu'an's plans.
If Ji Yu'an wanted to poison her, then he would definitely have to give him the opportunity.
Let him reap what he sows.
Jiang He took the initiative to bring it up with the Second Princess.
Now her marriage to Chi Yu-an is recognized by both countries.
The Vientiane Kingdom has already sent over Ji Yu'an's "dowry".
Shouldn't the Second Princess make up for the banquet she owed Ji Yu'an?
Ji Yu'an was, after all, the fourth prince of Wanxiang Kingdom.
Now that he's married to the second princess, he has to at least give her some face.
Even if it's not a big celebration, we should still invite a few colleagues to have a drink and celebrate.
The second princess thought that Ji Yu'an's health had been quite good recently.
Moreover, Ji Yu'an has been treating him well lately.
It seems that he knows he can't return to the Kingdom of Vientiane and has accepted his current identity.
It was indeed on her impulse that she kidnapped Ji Yu'an.
He definitely needs to get one.
To avoid people gossiping behind my back.
The second princess told Ji Yu'an that she planned to hold a banquet at her residence.
He will attend as well.
Ji Yu'an was just looking for an opportunity when the Second Princess announced that she would be holding a banquet.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Moreover, many people will attend the banquet.
Those invited to the banquet by the Second Princess must all be important officials of the Phoenix Cry Kingdom.
If everyone could drink that poisoned wine.
Perhaps he could single-handedly destroy the Phoenix Cry Kingdom.
Two days later, a banquet was held at the Second Princess's residence.
Half of the court officials of Fengming Kingdom participated.
The mansion was also specially decorated, with a festive atmosphere.
The second princess also changed into a red dress.
Ji Yu'an also dressed up nicely and looked to be in great spirits.
Sitting in a specially made wheelchair, he greeted the guests alongside the Second Princess.
Everyone congratulated the Second Princess.
Although they had no feelings for Ji Yu'an, the fourth prince who had been abandoned by the Kingdom of Wanxiang.
Out of respect for the Second Princess, they won't show any displeasure.
They're just here to have a drink.
After drinking two cups, seeing that the Second Princess was enjoying herself, Ji Yu'an suggested that she try the wine from his Wanxiang Kingdom.
That was sent by the envoy from the Kingdom of Wanxiang; it has a different flavor than that from the Kingdom of Fengming.
Please enjoy this with us.
The second princess was also pleased. Since Ji Yu'an was so hospitable, she decided to give it a try.
Moreover, the Second Princess noticed that everyone was only talking to her and ignoring Ji Yu'an.
Ji Yu'an was probably not very happy either, so he wanted to bring out some drinks.
That way, we can chat a bit over the drinks.
Ji Yu'an's jar of wine was taken out.
Ji Yu'an couldn't wait to make everyone drink the poisoned wine.
He had already taken the antidote beforehand.
I'm not afraid to let him drink with me later.
Moreover, in order for others to drink the wine smoothly, he has to be the first to drink it.
Jiang He walked over and looked at the unopened wine jar.
"Second Princess, what kind of wine is this?"
"Eldest sister, this is wine from Yu'an, from the Kingdom of Wanxiang. We invite everyone to enjoy it together."
"Oh, the wine of the Kingdom of Myriad Elephants? I wonder if Your Excellency has ever tasted this wine? How does it compare to the wine of our Kingdom of Phoenix Cry?"
"Yu'an has never tasted this wine before. He doesn't know what it tastes like."
Second Princess, Yu'an would also like to try this wine, is that alright?
