I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

It was a huge red stone, carved into the auspicious postures of a dragon and a phoenix. It was lifelike, as if it were alive.

After seeing it, Jiang Linglong felt that there was energy fluctuating on it, and it seemed that it was not an ordinary stone.

Seeing that Jiang Linglong didn't say anything, Prince Jing thought she was stunned, so he began to introduce them.

"This is also a piece of stone I got by chance. It is not ordinary. Its color is like coral. It is said that this kind of stone can bring infinite good luck. I specially asked skilled craftsmen to carve it into the shape of a dragon and a phoenix and send it to you from afar. I just want to express my feelings and congratulate you!"

It sounded simple, but how could Jiang Linglong not see what he was thinking?
He just wanted her to accept him and keep him by his side.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she did not expose the thing but chose to leave it behind.

"Since it is the emperor's uncle's kindness, I will definitely stay. Thank you!"

The goal had been achieved, and Prince Jing did not stay long. He simply said a few words and left.

After coming out of the palace, the confidants accompanying Prince Jing did not understand why he did this.

"My Lord, isn't it a pity to give such a good thing to this little girl?"

Prince Jing said slowly with a smile on his face.

"You also said that this is a good thing. If that's the case, then it must be given to the most distinguished person in the Great Zhou. Just keep it with her for a few months, and then she will be in trouble without us having to do anything, and we won't have to make any plans!"

As soon as Prince Jing left, Jiang Linglong ordered someone to invite Lu Yuan over.

She didn't believe that Prince Jing would be so kind, there must be some conspiracy.

She felt an unusual energy fluctuation on this stone, but she didn't know what was going on. Only after inviting Lu Yuan over would she know the specific situation.

When the three ladies, Jiang Qingli, Murong Jiu and Tan Taixi, heard that Prince Jing had presented rare treasures, they all rushed over as soon as possible.

Jiang Linglong was a little surprised to see them coming.

"Third sister, why are you here? Is there anything wrong?"

Faced with the question, Jiang Qingli waved his hand and explained.

"We heard about the gift from Prince Jing, and we knew it must be something good. A man like him, who travels around all the time, must have a lot of good treasures, so we thought of coming over to take a look."

The three were instantly attracted by the red boulder and began to observe it from around.

While watching, he praised it repeatedly and looked surprised.

"Yes, it is indeed a good thing. It feels soft and smooth to the touch. I just don't know what kind of stone it is. It is so special. I have never seen it before!"

Murong Jiu nodded and agreed.

"Yes, this stone has a faint energy fluctuation, as if it hides a huge power. This Prince Jing is really new. It must not be easy to find such a treasure!"

Jiang Linglong shook her head helplessly. She knew that her three sisters were not clear about Prince Jing's true nature, so it was natural for them to have such thoughts.

"It must be difficult for Prince Jing to find such a thing. As for what his intention is, I am not sure, but it is definitely not a good intention, but a malicious one!"

The three of them looked up instantly and looked at Jiang Linglong in confusion, not understanding why she said such a thing.

Jiang Qingli was the first to speak, she asked in confusion.

"You don't like Prince Jing? I remember that you didn't have any grudges or interactions before. Why are you so full of malice towards him? But did anything happen before?"

Faced with the question, Jiang Linglong didn't know how to explain for a moment. "When my brother-in-law comes, let him explain to you what's going on!"

Soon, Lu Yuan came over.

As soon as he came in, he saw the huge red stone and frowned.

"Is this the gift Prince Jing gave you?"

Jiang Linglong nodded and replied.

"That's right. He said he had transported it from a long distance. I don't believe he would be so kind. I felt a huge energy fluctuation on this stone. I don't know what's going on, so I wanted you to come and see what's going on!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded, walked to the stone and stared at it for a while.

After reading it, a sneer appeared on his face.

"I really didn't expect that he would come up with such a method. It's really not easy to get such a stone. It's worth it for him to transport it back from far away!"

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Lu Yuan gave a brief explanation.

"This is not an ordinary stone, but a spirit-absorbing stone. If you stay with the stone for a long time, it will absorb all the spiritual energy in your body, even your youth and lifespan. It doesn't even take too long, as short as two or three months, or as long as half a year, and then huge problems will arise!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Murong Jiu couldn't understand and asked in confusion.

"Could there be some misunderstanding? Why would Prince Jing do such a thing? Isn't this a little too ridiculous?"

Tan Tai Xi had the same idea and nodded in agreement.

"It is also possible that Prince Jing does not understand these things, which caused such a big misunderstanding. He would never take the initiative to harm others!"

Seeing that they still didn't understand everything, Jiang Linglong explained.

"In fact, Prince Jing has always been ambitious. He has been hiding in order to avoid being involved in various disputes in advance. On the surface, he is an idle prince, but in fact, he has secretly planned many things."

"This time when he returns to Beijing, he will not leave again. He plans to find the right opportunity to attack me!"

Upon learning this, the three women were shocked.

They always thought that Prince Jing was a special member of the royal family, but they never thought that he would have so many restless thoughts.

After slowly accepting this information, Jiang Qingli asked in confusion.

"Since you already know what kind of person Prince Jing is, why did you accept this broken stone? Just refuse it directly!"

Jiang Linglong shook her head and explained.

"If this is the case, then Prince Jing will notice it. Now is not the time to let him understand everything. We need to wait a little longer."

"Once he feels the time is right and takes the opportunity to attack, we can defeat him with one move. There is no need to worry so much!"

Jiang Linglong saw all of this very clearly and understood even more clearly what she should do next.

Now is not the right time. They also need an opportunity, and that is when Prince Jing can't wait to take action! (End of this chapter)
