Chapter 480 No Concubine
Chapter 480 No Concubine
After learning of Ji Yuntang's intention, Luo Junhe refused without a second thought.
"No, the king does not agree to take a concubine."
Ji Yuntang squatted beside him, coaxing him softly.
"Ah He, this is just a temporary solution. If Miss Zhong is really a fake, then this marriage is invalid, right?"
Luo Junhe's eyes darkened slightly, and a layer of darkness covered his eyes.
"That won't work either. Who do they think I am?"
"The moment she escaped back home, it meant that my fate with her was over. There is absolutely no possibility for her and me to be together. Even if it was just an act, I would not agree to take her as my concubine."
He stared at Ji Yuntang with dark eyes from a close distance, and Ji Yuntang touched his nose guiltily.
She knew that Luo Junhe was really angry this time!
But because of Pei Zhi's intention, he didn't get angry with himself.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go out and think of a way. I will never let Miss Zhong set foot in the Night Palace."
Ji Yuntang didn't dare to stay in the room for long, and pulled Pei Zhiyi out!
Pei Zhiyi felt scared. His Royal Highness Ye Wang’s eyes were so cold, as if he wanted to eat Ji Yuntang.
Just standing there, she felt her body shivering with cold and didn't dare to say a word.
Pei Zhiyi swallowed his saliva, pulled Ji Yuntang and said: "Tangtang, I told you that this method of yours wouldn't work, but you insisted on trying it. Are you suffering now?"
"His Highness the Night King cares so much about you, how could he take another woman as a concubine, not to mention that the woman had abandoned him before. It would be strange if he didn't get angry after hearing this!"
Ji Yuntang sighed, "I just feel that Miss Zhong has a problem. I want him to cooperate with me in a play, not to really let him take a concubine."
"But letting Miss Zhong enter the mansion is the fastest way for me to find out the truth about this matter, and at the same time I can have a hostage in my hands."
"I was careless about this matter and didn't consider the impact on A-He. I'll think of other ways!"
Ji Yuntang was thinking of a solution, and Pei Zhiyi followed her.
Suddenly, Pei Zhiyi had an idea and suggested: "How about we just say that it is not appropriate to take a concubine today and that the Night Palace is not prepared at all, and let them take Miss Zhong back. Then we can sneak into Zhong Changli's house at night, kidnap Miss Zhong, and force her to tell the truth."
Ji Yuntang shook his head. "That's not right. We still don't know who Miss Zhong is. If we rush into the mansion and kidnap her, it will undoubtedly alert the enemy and may even arouse suspicion from the people behind the scenes."
Pei Zhiyi thought about it and it made sense. It would be too arrogant to go to the door rashly, and it might even backfire.
She suggested: "How about we just quietly give Miss Zhong some medicine to make her unconscious, and then not let her into the Night Palace. We can find a clinic nearby for her to stay, and then you can treat her as a doctor and take the opportunity to ask her questions?"
After thinking about it, Ji Yuntang still felt that it was inappropriate. "If we bring Miss Zhong to the clinic, then Xu and Zhong Changli will definitely go with her. If Miss Zhong is willing to cooperate, it will be fine. If she is not willing to cooperate, she can just shout and they will easily come, which will also alert the enemy."
"Besides, if she faints at the gate of the Night Palace, people outside will criticize us!"
The Night Palace is now an enclave of public opinion. As long as something bad happens, it will be known to everyone.
Furthermore, Miss Zhong collapsed at the gate of Prince Ye’s mansion, so the Xu family would definitely make trouble again.
After a moment of contemplation, Ji Yuntang said, "I was wondering if there is a way to allow Miss Zhong to temporarily get rid of the people in the Zhong Mansion without involving the Yewang Mansion. This way, it will be much easier for us to interrogate her."
Pei Zhiyi immediately said: "This is easy. We can just make her horse lose control and run away halfway!"
Ji Yuntang was delighted. "This is a good idea. However, from what I have observed, Miss Zhong is riding in a sedan chair, while the carriage belongs to Zhong Changli and his wife. It would be good if we could make some noise and drive their carriage away."
The two discussed for a while in the yard and finally came up with an idea.
Pei Zhiyi's eyes lit up as she listened. She clapped her hands and said, "That's a good idea. I'll arrange it right away."
Ji Yuntang reminded her, "Zhiyi, remember to cover your face so that no one can recognize you."
Pei Zhiyi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll do the job."
After a long time, Ji Yuntang finally walked out. Xu was already getting impatient.
She paced back and forth at the door and asked, "Why did the princess stay in there for so long this night? Did she forget about us?"
Zhong Changli pulled her and said, "Alright, stop shaking, she's coming out!"
Turning around, she saw Ji Yuntang standing at the door. Xu asked hurriedly, "Princess Ye, how did you discuss with His Royal Highness the Night King? Did he agree?"
Ji Yuntang said directly: "My prince did not agree."
"Ah, how could this be?" Xu's heart sank. She hurriedly looked at Zhong Changli, as if asking him what to do.
Ji Yuntang saw the interaction between the two and smiled slightly:
"Our prince said that today's schedule is too tight and the mansion hasn't had time to prepare anything. It would be too unfair to Miss Zhong to let her enter the mansion just like that!"
"After two days, I will re-prepare the Night Palace, entertain some guests, and then let Miss Zhong enter the palace in style."
Ji Yuntang said this and added: "By the way, our prince also said that the betrothal gift to Miss Zhong must not be less. Although she is a concubine, she was once the prince's principal wife, so she should be treated as she should be."
Xu was overjoyed when she heard this. She had originally given up hope, but she didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Night King would agree.
And you have considered every aspect so carefully?
Before coming, she was still thinking that all she had to do was carry her daughter in, but now that she knew that Zhong Xinyu would come with a betrothal gift, she was no longer anxious!
Ji Yuntang made so much money from running the shop, he should not refuse the betrothal gift she gave him.
Besides, it’s just a two-day wait. They can wait for a while, right?
Thinking of this, Xu smiled and said: "Your Highness the Night King is indeed thoughtful. It was our fault today that we did not think carefully enough and did not discuss this with His Highness the Night King and the Night Princess in advance."
"Then follow the princess's wishes and wait for two more days. We will then send our daughter over."
Ji Yuntang curled his lips and smiled, "Very good."
Xu and Zhong Changli had an idea and did not stay in front of Prince Ye’s mansion for long. They got on the carriage happily.
Only Zhong Xinyu stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't want to go back just like that.
But out of helplessness, she finally got on the sedan chair she took when she came here.
Luo Sinian stepped forward and asked Ji Yuntang, "Third sister-in-law, what is going on? How could my third brother agree to take this woman as a concubine?"
