After marrying the vegetative prince, the doctor concubine killed people randomly

Chapter 495 It’s your own fault.

As soon as she entered the mansion, Xu asked the servants to close the door quickly and not to open it for anyone who knocked.

She had thought her plan was foolproof before, but now that something had happened, she began to feel uneasy.

"Master, what should we do now? Princess Ye is not really going to report us to the Emperor, right?"

"She has the support of the Queen and the Duke of Rong behind her, but we have no power or influence. How can we fight against the Night Princess?"

Thinking of this, Xu suddenly had an idea and said, "Master, this matter is caused by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Can you go and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help us?"

Zhong Changli snorted coldly, "Stupid! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Night King are brothers. If the Night King and the Night Princess knew that he was the one who was trying to destroy their relationship, do you think the Night Princess would let it go?"

"We can't afford to offend Princess Ye, but if anything happens to the Crown Prince, we in the Zhong Mansion won't have an easy time either."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she became anxious. "Then what do you say we should do? Xinyu is dead. In less than a day, the Zhong family's decision to have a maid marry in place of the young lady will probably be known to everyone."

"What should we do if the emperor blames us?"

Just when the two were getting anxious, a servant suddenly ran over in a panic, "Master, Madam, something terrible has happened!"

Zhong Changli hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"Master, I just counted the betrothal gifts from the Night Palace and was about to put them into storage. When I opened the box, I found that all the jewelry in the box had turned into stone!"

Zhong Changli's pupils shrank, and he grabbed the servant by the collar. He asked in disbelief: "What did you say? The eighteen boxes of betrothal gifts have all turned into stone?"

The servant trembled, but still mustered up the courage to say: "It is absolutely true, sir, I dare not lie, many servants saw it!"

Zhong Changli numbly loosened his hand and staggered.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

They were clearly fine when the people from Prince Ye’s Mansion delivered them yesterday. How could they suddenly turn into stone?

Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Xu with eyes as sharp as swords.

"Quick, go in and see if the 100,000 taels of silver that Princess Ye sent is still there?"

Upon hearing this, Xu hurried into the room and took out a mahogany box from the closet.

She couldn't wait to open the box, took out a stack of silver bills, and looked at them one by one.

When she saw clearly what was inside, her hands shook and she fell to the ground in fright.

Except for the two silver notes at the top and bottom, everything in between is white paper.

The two silver notes above and below were drawn with a pen and were all fake.

"No, this is impossible..."

"Why is this happening?" Xu grabbed the white paper in her hand and broke down and screamed.

Her screams attracted the chief official Zhong. When Xu saw him, she immediately cried, "Master, Master... the banknotes are all fake. We were fooled by that bitch Princess Ye!"

"Dowry, I have to go get Zhong Xinyu's dowry back..."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and was about to rush out the door, but Zhong Changli pulled her back forcefully and threw her to the ground.

"That's enough! When the people from the Night Palace delivered the dowry yesterday, didn't I ask you to check it carefully? How did you check it?"

Xu fell to the ground. She could not even cry out in pain. She could only cry, "Master, I checked and found that the betrothal gifts and banknotes from yesterday were all real."

"This morning when I sent Mingxia off to get married, I took out the banknotes from the box and checked them. They were all real. Who knew that they would suddenly turn into blank paper?"

Speaking of this, Zhong Changli suddenly remembered something.

Last night, someone from the Night Palace delivered the betrothal gifts to the gate of the Zhong Mansion, but they did not come in.

Not only that, they also opened all 18 boxes of betrothal gifts in front of the people on the street and personally handed over the 100,000 taels of silver to Xu.

In this way, everyone was told that the betrothal gifts and banknotes sent by the Night King's Mansion were real, and they had lost them by accident!

The Zhong family was in the wrong about the substitution of a bride. Even if they went to their house to make a scene and wanted to get back Zhong Xinyu's dowry, it would be impossible!

Unless they can revive Zhong Xinyu and return all the betrothal gifts from the Night Palace.

Zhong Changli realized belatedly that he had been used by the prince, and Princess Ye took advantage of the situation and tricked them again.

Zhong Xinyu's sudden death, Ming Xia's sudden betrayal, and the betrothal gifts all turned into stone and blank paper...

All of this might be related to Ji Yuntang.

It is precisely because the other party knows their plan that things keep going wrong.

The funny thing is that they still think their plan is flawless and perfect.

When he realized this, Zhong Changli collapsed to the ground in despair. "It's over. It's all over now!"

The fight between the Night Palace and the Crown Prince was not something he should have interfered in.

But because of his greed, he intervened and helped the prince to plot against Princess Ye, but now he is being plotted against by the other party.

Now all the money accumulated in the mansion has been lost, and it is still unknown whether he can keep the official hat on his head.

Zhong Changli didn't know that a greater danger was about to come.

That night, a group of assassins in black broke into the Zhong Mansion and killed everyone they saw.

Screams echoed throughout the mansion, and blood flowed like a river on the ground.

None of the 104 people in the Zhong family were spared.

The extermination of the Zhong family became the talk of the town the next day.

Everyone who mentioned this matter sighed and said, "You reap what you sow."

Some people said that this was the revenge of Princess Ye, but Prince Chen led his troops to guard Prince Ye’s Mansion personally, and Ji Yuntang had an alibi.

Although she was angry, she was not so cruel as to kill a five-year-old child.

Emperor Jingyang was furious and ordered the whole city to capture the real culprit and make sure to find this group of people.

Jianlan informed Concubine Li about the massacre of the Zhong family, and her expression changed slightly when she heard it.

"What did you say? The 104 members of the Zhong family were all killed?"

Jianlan nodded, "Yes, Concubine Li, the emperor has sent the Dali Temple to investigate!"

Concubine Li was only startled for a moment, then she regained her composure. She picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Let him die. He is just an ant in the capital. It is not a pity to die."

Jianlan lowered her voice and whispered in her ear: "But Madam, I have heard that the Crown Prince has been visiting Prince Nan Xiao at the inn frequently recently. I am afraid that the Zhong family's extermination is related to them."

When Concubine Li heard this, she was not angry, but she smiled.
