Chapter 358 Framed
Not to mention, such a big thing happened in the Marquis' Mansion today, and Old Madam Ji came to him to complain again, so it was impossible for Ji Nanchuan to be in a good mood!
Meng was very afraid of him, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "I am not afraid of you, Lord. I am just wondering who beat Qingqing into this state?"
Ji Nanchuan let go of her hand and snorted coldly, "Humph, Qingqing has become the Crown Princess, who is the most jealous and afraid?"
Meng was surprised and asked, "My Lord, are you talking about Ji Yuntang?"
"Who else could it be but her!" Ji Nanchuan flicked his sleeves fiercely, his face extremely gloomy.
"She has always hated to see Qingqing getting better, and now she is firmly seated on the throne of Princess Ye. How could she be willing to let Qingqing become the Crown Princess and suppress her?"
"However, I never expected that she would use such a despicable method to try to destroy a woman's appearance."
"The reason why you and I swapped her with Qingqing was because we were attracted by Qingqing's face. She has been so pretty since she was a child. She is lovable just by looking at her."
"Unlike Ji Yuntang, whose face has been extremely ugly since childhood, making people feel sick."
Meng's eyes were bloodshot, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Ji Yuntang, you are so vicious!"
"Luckily, Qingqing is fine. If anything had happened to her, I would have immediately picked up my knife and killed Ji Yuntang."
Ji Nanchuan's eyes flickered. He first walked over and closed the door, then said to Meng: "You are so stupid. If you kill Ji Yuntang, wouldn't that cause trouble for our mansion? We still need to think about this matter carefully."
"Have you invited the Taoist priest I asked you to invite?"
Mrs. Meng nodded and said, "I went to Baiyun Temple early this morning to invite Taoist Master Yuqing. He agreed to go down the mountain tomorrow morning and go to the palace with the Marquis."
After she finished speaking, she thought of something and her expression suddenly changed.
"However, Taoist Master Yuqing has a big appetite. I gave him 100,000 taels of silver notes, but he still thought it was not enough and even asked for 150,000 taels."
"He said this was a business that would cost him his life. He would not enter the palace unless he was paid. I think he was just trying to cheat the Marquis's family out of money."
Ji Nanchuan said in a deep voice: "Spending a little money is a small matter. As long as he can get things done, what's wrong with giving him 150,000 taels of silver?"
When he said this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Besides, even if he took the banknote, he might not be able to keep this windfall."
With the tacit understanding between husband and wife, Meng immediately understood what Ji Nanchuan meant.
He planned to kill Taoist Master Yuqing after he finished his job and take the silver back.
Because only the dead can keep secrets forever.
On the other side, the Night King’s Palace.
After Ji Yuntang returned in Wang Sheng's carriage, she found that Luo Junhe and Chen Hu had not returned.
Ji Yuntang couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Didn't the prince leave before me? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Wang Sheng said, "How about I go out and look for them?"
Ji Yuntang frowned, "It's better for me to go there myself!"
She was really worried about Luo Junhe's safety.
"Then I will go and lead the carriage."
Wang Sheng stopped the carriage at the door. When Ji Yuntang got on it, he reminded him, "Go slowly and keep an eye on the whereabouts of their carriage."
As she walked, she paid attention to the movements on both sides of the street.
Finally, after Wang Sheng bypassed three streets and two rivers, Ji Yuntang found Luo Junhe's carriage.
"Mr. Wang, stop the car."
It was an ordinary black carriage with no decoration on the outside, and it was completely inconspicuous inside the carriage.
But this was also the carriage that Luo Junhe had been riding in recently.
Ji Yuntang stared at the carriage for a while but did not see Chen Hu. She guessed that Chen Hu and Luo Junhe should be nearby.
Or, they were sitting in the carriage.
But Ji Yuntang couldn't understand why Luo Junhe didn't go home.
At this moment, Wang Sheng's voice suddenly rang out, with a hint of embarrassment.
"Princess, you must have misunderstood. The prince is not that kind of person."
Ji Yuntang: "???"
Before she could react to what Wang Sheng meant, she heard Wang Sheng say, "Although the prince is not good at speaking, everyone in the Ye Palace knows that the only person he loves in his heart is the princess, and he will never betray her."
Ji Yuntang: "..."
She frowned slightly, feeling that Wang Sheng's words were getting stranger and stranger.
Aren’t they here to find Luo Junhe?
Ji Yuntang lifted the curtain and stuck his head out to take a look, only to find that the carriage was parked at the door of Qianxiang Tower.
Qianxianglou, as the name suggests, is a brothel where men seek pleasure.
However, unlike other brothels which are vulgar, this one is famous for its elegance.
The women would not wear revealing clothes and pose in a coquettish manner at the door like in other brothels.
On the contrary, they all have some talents to serve and attract guests.
Generally, those who come here are prominent officials and dignitaries.
After Ji Yuntang knew what Wang Sheng meant, he felt a little amused.
"Do you think that this princess doesn't trust the prince?"
Wang Sheng said nothing.
After all, the carriage stopped in front of Qianxiang Tower, and anyone might misunderstand it.
Ji Yuntang laughed and said, "Your Highness, you want to leave my beautiful wife behind and come here to look for a girl, unless he has been kicked in the head by a donkey!"
Wang Sheng: “…”
He thought about it and felt that what Ji Yuntang said made a lot of sense.
At this moment, Luo Junhe, who had been kicked in the head by a donkey, sneezed loudly while sitting in the carriage.
This frightened Chen Hu, who was dozing off next to him, awake. "My Lord, are the rebels coming?"
"I seem to have heard the sound of war drums."
Luo Junhe glanced at him and said with his thin lips: "The rebels didn't come to kill us, but the prince will probably come out soon!"
Chen Hu touched his nose, a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I fell asleep and dreamed!"
Luo Junhe ignored him and picked up the slingshot on the small table.
This was exactly what Ji Yuntang received from Ji Zihang's entourage yesterday.
She had put it in the carriage yesterday.
It just happened to be used by Luo Junhe today.
At the same time, Wang Sheng asked Ji Yuntang, "Princess, I just saw the prince's carriage move a little. Do you want to go down and take a look?"
Ji Yuntang said calmly: "No need, sit down!"
She was now basically certain that Luo Junhe was in the carriage!
She wanted to see what he wanted to do.
Luo Junhe was waiting for the prince to come out, and Ji Yuntang was waiting for Luo Junhe to take action.
The two of them sat in a carriage each, and both were very calm.
Not long after, Luo Jingshen, dressed in a luxurious jade-colored brocade robe, came out drunk!
He was holding two charming beauties in his arms, their snow-white skin faintly visible under the veil.
The beauty opened her lips slightly, looking charming, "Your Highness, if you marry a Crown Princess, will you still come to see Xiang'er? Xiang'er really can't bear to leave Your Highness~"
