“Your Highness, your marriage with Chu Jingyue was only a posthumous one. But now that you are still alive, that marriage naturally doesn’t count. Chu Jingyue openly murdered someone in the Marquis’s mansion. As the Marquis of Wenyong, I naturally cannot shield my own daughter. Chu Jingyue must be handed over to the authorities for strict punishment.”
Marquis Chu’s face suddenly became serious, and his attitude was very tough.
Chu Jingyue sneered and was about to speak when she heard Wenren Si speak first, “The emperor bestowed my princess. Does the Marquis want to go back on the marriage?”
Marquis Chu didn’t expect Wenren Si to protect Chu Jingyue so much. While he was considering a countermeasure, another person walked out of the house, who was a servant of the mansion.
There was a clear sword mark on his chest, but strangely, he looked like he was fine.
“Remember to check before framing next time, otherwise you will lose face and be ridiculed.”
Chu Jingyue mercilessly ridiculed, and Marquis Chu’s face was extremely ugly.
“Marquis, what else do you have to say?” Wenren Si squinted his eyes, showing the air of a royal.
Marquis Chu immediately glared at his concubine, and the concubine reacted quickly and knelt down, “Marquis, you saw it, what I said is indeed the truth, the eldest lady was indeed alone with a man.”
Diverting the blame, the concubine once again pointed the finger at a single man and woman in the same room.
Chu Jingyue raised her eyebrows lightly and said calmly, “Then report to the authorities. Just now, this person was possessed by evil and intended to hurt me. I have seriously injured the person who secretly controlled him. A search of the Marquis’s mansion will surely yield something.”
“Someone.” Wenren Si immediately called out, “Search the mansion.”
Marquis Chu was shocked when he heard this, and quickly said, “What possession? It’s just nonsense. How can such a family scandal be made public? What do you say, King?”
“This person, this king will take back for interrogation. If anyone reveals half of today’s events, ten thousand arrows outside the capital will surely fall on the Wenyong Marquis’s mansion without fail.”
Wenren Si said in a deep voice, threatening the Marquis’s mansion with the troops outside the city, not allowing the matter to be spread.
Marquis Chu responded repeatedly. Chu Jingyue had already seen what she wanted to see, so there was no point in continuing to stay in the Marquis’s mansion.
When she said she was leaving, Marquis Chu interjected, “Because it was a posthumous marriage, the Marquis’s mansion was considerate and did not send living people to accompany the dowry. Why not let Yue’er bring the dowry maid today? It’s good to have someone to serve her closely.”
Chu Jingyue ignored him and walked away, and Wenren Si understood what she meant.
“Does the Marquis think that the people in King Qi’s mansion are all useless?”
Marquis Chu didn’t expect Chu Jingyue not to give him face, and King Qi cooperated so much that he couldn’t even send an informant in.
The guards of the royal mansion left, and the two swords on Chu Tianqing’s neck were finally removed.
She covered her neck aggrievedly, with endless hatred in her eyes.
“Father, what should we do now?”
Marquis Chu also stared at their leaving direction with a sinister look, “I don’t know if what Chu Jingyue said is true or false, let’s go see Master Lang first.”
The father and daughter hurried to the front yard. The person in the Taoist robe in the house had mottled blood stains on his chest, and he was about to die.
“Quick, call the mansion doctor!”
On the way back, Chu Jingyue hugged her Weizhi sword, and Wenren Si was also looking at her sword.
Where did such a long sword hide before?
“King, settle the servant in the royal mansion. He is an innocent person, and his blessings and longevity are lacking due to being manipulated as a puppet. He needs your blessing.”
When Chu Jingyue spoke, she stared at Wenren Si’s chest, pretending to borrow his blessing, but really wanting to Nudge the aura of the life treasure.
However, Wenren Si misunderstood. He turned sideways to avoid Chu Jingyue’s eyes and asked, “Leave him in the front yard?”
“Backyard, I need a handyman to do physical work, he is suitable.”
Chu Jingyue had seen the man’s face, he was an honest and loyal person.
“Where is he suitable?” Wenren Si asked, did she know how bad it would be for her reputation to keep a man in the backyard?
Chu Jingyue really didn’t understand what he meant, and only made up, “He looks suitable.”
The servant looked thin and strong, and his features were also upright, indeed pleasing to the eye.
More importantly, he was rescued by her, knew her abilities, and it would be convenient to ask him for help in the future.
Wenren Si secretly gritted his teeth, “You are now the princess.”
“Temporary.” Chu Jingyue’s attitude was indifferent.
If she wanted the life treasure, she had to first confirm its location. Whether it was in the heart or under the skin, she needed to make a cut in his heart.
This was not a joke. The importance of the life treasure was extraordinary and could not be told directly, so she could only ask for a condition first.
After all, if she said to Wenren Si, after it’s done, just let me give you a knife, it would sound too strange.
“As you wish.” Wenren Si turned his head and closed his eyes, but as soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was full of Chu Jingyue’s every move.
Graceful, immortal.
And very annoying.
“King, the royal mansion reports that the Grand Madam has a sudden illness.”
Wenren Si’s personal guard, Pei Feng, reported in a low voice, and the carriage immediately sped forward.
“Don’t worry.” Chu Jingyue said slowly.
Wenren Si frowned and said, “My mother is a military general, her body is very strong, she won’t have a sudden illness, it can only be someone harmed her.”
Chu Jingyue calculated with her fingers and nodded in agreement, “That’s true.”
“Do you still need to calculate this?” Wenren Si was a little irritable, and he felt even more uncomfortable seeing her calm and indifferent appearance.
Chu Jingyue casually lifted the curtain and handed the Zangling bead string to Pei Feng, who was driving the car, “You go back to the royal mansion first, put this bead string in the Grand Madam’s hand, and then order someone to keep an eye on it and don’t let anyone take the bead string off. Just wait for me to return to the mansion. Let the imperial physician prescribe less medicine, it’s useless to drink it.”
Pei Feng borrowed the bead string and looked at the King. Wenren Si pondered for a moment, “Go and do it.”
Pei Feng left like a gust of wind. Chu Jingyue sat back in the carriage, rummaged through the carriage and saw that there was no food, and pouted in disgust.
“Do you know what happened to my mother?”
Wenren Si still frowned tightly. Chu Jingyue shook her head and said, “I don’t have that ability, unless you write down your mother’s birth date for me next time, I can calculate it.”
“Then why did you let Pei Feng go back?”
Chu Jingyue smiled lightly, “Of course it’s useful.”
Pei Feng was the first to return to the royal mansion. On the way, he held the bead string carefully like he was holding an ancestor.
“Zhao Mama, the King has ordered to temporarily invite the doctor out.”
As soon as Pei Feng finished speaking, Zhao Mama said angrily, “What is the King doing? Is driving away the doctor trying to put the Grand Madam to death?! Even if the King is not the Grand Madam’s own son, she raised him after all. How can the King be so unconscionable?”
“Mama, don’t scold me.” Pei Feng shrank his neck and handed the bead string over, “The, the princess said to hold this thing in the Grand Madam’s hand and wait for her to return to the mansion.”
As soon as Zhao Mama heard that it was the princess who asked, she immediately took the bead string slowly, “You child, you didn’t say it was the princess who asked. The princess is a very capable person, I scolded you for nothing.”
Pei Feng held his hand to signal Mama to go quickly. Zhao Mama took the bead string, walked into the house and invited the doctor away, and then put the bead string in the Grand Madam’s hand.
The Grand Madam, who was still frowning and looked full of pain just now, stretched her expression within a short time after holding the bead string.
Zhao Mama was overjoyed when she saw this, “It’s effective! It’s really effective! The princess is really amazing.”
