Chapter 486 The person behind the scenes
Zhong Xinyu was even more surprised when she heard this, "You... are fine after marrying His Highness the Night King?"
"Could it be that His Majesty the Night King has already..."
It was quite normal for her to see Ji Yuntang with his peerless appearance. Her first reaction was whether His Majesty the Night King had met with any misfortune.
After all, the princesses he had married before either died or committed suicide, and even she herself went crazy for a year.
Everyone who marries into the Night King’s Palace is destined to have a miserable end.
Now seeing an extremely normal princess, Zhong Xinyu would be lying if she said she was not shocked.
Ji Yuntang certainly knew what she was thinking. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, His Highness the Night King is fine, and so am I. We are all living well."
Zhong Xinyu smiled with satisfaction and wished them well from the bottom of her heart.
"That's good. His Highness Ye Wang is blessed by heaven. It is his fortune that he can marry a princess like Miss Ji."
Ming Xia told Zhong Xinyu about what Xu and Zhong Changli had done in the past year.
When she talked about asking me to marry in her place, tears flowed from her eyes.
"Miss, the master and mistress knew that you were very ill and couldn't even get out of bed, but they still wanted this servant to marry in your place. They simply didn't care about your life or death and pushed you to a dead end."
"If Princess Ye hadn't come to our rescue this time, I'm afraid we would both have died at Madam Xu's hands."
Zhong Xinyu's eyes instantly turned red. She didn't expect that so many things would happen in the year when she went crazy.
And in the end, the person who saved him turned out to be the current Princess Ye.
Zhong Xinyu immediately got off the bed and knelt in front of Ji Yuntang, "Thank you Princess Ye for saving me today. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay you by working like a slave."
Ji Yuntang pulled her up and said slowly: "You don't need to thank me, Princess. If you want to thank someone, thank your maid. She told me about the situation in the Zhong Mansion. Otherwise, I wouldn't know about your current situation."
"Your body is poisoned. This princess has already cured you of the poison. I promised Mingxia before that I could rescue you and let you be with your lover. I wonder if you are willing to believe me?"
Zhong Xinyu was so excited that she agreed without even thinking about it.
"I am willing. As long as Princess Ye can save me, I will accept whatever you ask me to do."
Thinking of Mr. He, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. She wondered how he was doing now.
But as long as he was alive, she believed everything would be fine.
Ji Yuntang took out a black pill and handed it to Zhong Xinyu.
"This is a fake death drug. After taking it, within five hours, I guarantee that you will be like a dead person, with no heartbeat and no breathing. After five hours, you will wake up automatically."
"After noon tomorrow, you eat it. When Mrs. Xu finds out that you are really dead, in order not to affect your marriage the day after tomorrow, Mingxia will definitely send someone to bury you in a low-key manner. Then I will arrange for someone to rescue you, but..."
Zhong Xinyu's heart tightened, and she immediately asked: "Just what?"
Ji Yuntang pursed his lips and said, "However, after I rescue you, you will no longer be able to be a daughter of an official family. You will have to change your name and live an ordinary life. I'm afraid you won't be able to return to the capital."
Zhong Xinyu's eyes turned red, and she immediately said, "I am willing. As long as I can survive, even if I don't become the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, I have no complaints."
"For me, wealth and glory don't matter. Being alive is good enough!"
Ji Yuntang sighed softly, "Well, take this fake death medicine and remember what I just told you."
Zhong Xinyu took the medicine and said to her: "Thank you, Princess Ye."
After saying that, Ji Yuntang looked at Ming Xia and asked, "Ming Xia, after you came back today, did Xu Shi suspect you? Did you get any news?"
Ming Xia smiled and said, "Princess, I was just about to tell you about this."
"Today, I came back and, as you instructed, said that they were robbed by bandits. Although Madam Xu and the eldest son were angry, they did not doubt it."
"Oh, by the way, I also heard the Madam and the eldest son talking. They said that if we do this well, we can curry favor with some important person or something. They also said that if the important person is happy, he can give the two sons an official position."
"But Madam Xu did not say who this important person is, so I don't know either."
Ji Yuntang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and sneered, "It's just as I thought, there is someone behind Zhong Changli."
Pei Zhiyi asked curiously: "Tangtang, since he can promise to give official positions to the two sons of Zhong Changli, this big shot's status in the court should be quite high, right?"
"Do you think he could be someone from your royal family?"
Ji Yuntang narrowed his eyes and said nothing more, "Maybe!"
This matter was most likely related to the Dog Prince, and she didn't want to implicate Pei Zhiyi.
Pei Zhiyi had already helped her once during the last assassination!
If she interferes again this time, the Dog Prince might find someone to take revenge on her.
Not to mention, Pei Zhiyi's brother, Deputy General Pei, is a subordinate of the Dog Prince, so it would be extremely easy for the Dog Prince to deal with him.
She couldn't let General Dingyuan's Mansion take risks for her again and again.
Ji Yuntang thought to herself that although she couldn't kill the Dog Prince now, she could bring down the people in the Zhong Mansion.
Aren’t they trying to curry favor with the Dog Prince to target the Night Palace?
Then she'll make them pay!
Thinking of this, Ji Yuntang looked at Ming Xia and asked: "Ming Xia, if this princess gives you a chance to bring down the entire Zhong Mansion and avenge you and your young lady, are you willing?"
Ming Xia was slightly stunned, a trace of disbelief flashed across his face.
She pointed at her nose and asked, "To overthrow the Zhong family, me?"
Ji Yuntang nodded, "Yes, it's you, and only you can do this."
Ming Xia was even more shocked!
She was just a maid, but she never expected that one day someone would tell her that she could bring down the entire Zhong family and avenge herself and her young lady. How could she remain calm?
She first turned her head to look at Zhong Xinyu, and when she saw that her young lady had no objection on her face, Ming Xia steeled her heart and clenched her fists.
"I am willing. The Xu family killed our Madam, snatched away the dowry that Madam left for our daughter, and tortured our daughter into this state. I have long wanted to kill them."
"But I know that if I kill them, I won't survive. It doesn't matter if I die. The key is that I'm afraid that my young lady will have no one to take care of her in the future. Now that I know that Princess Ye can save my young lady, I will die without regrets."
When she said this, her tone was resolute, revealing an attitude of readying herself for death.
Ji Yuntang chuckled, "Who said I wanted you to die?"
