Chapter 228: Killing Three with One, Being So Smart That You Are Almost a Demon
"Duke Rong's Mansion had long been dismissed from its official positions and driven out of the imperial capital because it had offended the Emperor!" Ji Qingyuan said gritting her teeth.
"Duke Rong's Mansion was actually driven out of the imperial capital?" Shen Chengjing was shocked!
"Yuan'er, do you remember approximately when that happened?" he asked quickly.
"I don't remember clearly." Ji Qingyuan shook her head.
"Think about it again, is there anything else crucial?"
"At first, everything was normal in the palace. But when the princess suddenly became seriously ill, the atmosphere in the palace changed. The prince of Huaiyang said he was taking the princess to recuperate, but in fact he was sending her to the Rong family's ancestral home to see her family for the last time. When he came back, only the prince was there. The princess had passed away, and he actually buried her in the Rong family's ancestral home. The prince of Huaiyang set up a mourning hall for the princess in the palace, prepared a cenotaph for her, and mourned for three months! Later, the entire palace was arrested and taken to the imperial capital, saying that they had committed treason."
"Did the Prince of Huaiyang mobilize his troops?"
"I don't know." Ji Qingyuan shook her head.
Shen Chengjing was furious.
I really don’t know what’s in Ji Qingyuan’s mind!
When it comes to the critical moment, they can't provide any useful information.
He had suspected before that Ji Qingyuan was deliberately hiding it from him.
Now he understood that Ji Qingyuan might not really know! There was nothing valuable that could be squeezed out of her!
If things continue to develop the same way as in the previous life, he will definitely be the final winner!
At present, his official position is too low and he has no way to get in touch with the emperor. If he relies on the Luo family to continue to be promoted until he can enter the court to participate in politics, he will definitely be valued by the emperor like in his previous life!
By then, when the entire Huaiyang Palace is executed, he can still imitate the method he used in his previous life to rescue Ji Chuhe. Ji Chuhe will definitely be grateful for his life-saving grace and marry him!
He felt that only Ji Chuhe was worthy of him!
He and Ji Chuhe were rekindling their old relationship.
It was so easy for him to get close to the Luo family and reach the seventh rank. Shen Chengjing's confidence suddenly increased!
Although he is staying beside Young Master Luo like a dog now, God will give great responsibilities to this man!
These are all tests for him!
No pain No gain!
When looking at Ji Qingyuan who was lying on the bed with a look of pain on her face, a hint of murderous intent flashed quickly in Shen Chengjing's eyes.
"Yuan'er, you are seriously injured, so have a good rest. I have something else to go out for." Shen Chengjing put on a gentle and concerned expression.
Ji Qingyuan was in a trance for a moment.
Shen Chengjing hadn't spoken to him in this tone for a long time.
Shen Chengjing must have come back in a hurry today. He was still wearing his official uniform. The flickering candlelight in the room gave her a slight illusion.
It was as if I had returned to my previous life, when Shen Chengjing loved and cared for me in every way.
She couldn't help but reach out her hand, tug at Shen Chengjing's sleeve and called out, "Husband."
Shen Chengjing took her hand and said, "Yuan'er, don't be afraid. I will find a way to overthrow the Rongguo Mansion! When the time comes, the entire Huaiyang Palace will be executed, and no one will dare to bully us anymore!"
Shen Chengjing was talking about us, which made Ji Qingyuan feel suddenly warm in her heart.
"My husband, are you really willing to become an enemy of the Duke of Rong's Mansion and the Prince of Huaiyang's Mansion for me?"
"I never dared to think about this kind of thing before, but now I have joined the Luo family. The Luo family and the Duke of Rong's Mansion are irreconcilable. I can use the power of the Luo family to fight back! Yuan'er, believe me, I will succeed!"
"Yeah." Ji Qingyuan nodded vigorously.
Shen Chengjing walked away, and Ji Qingyuan fell into deep thought.
She had already given up on Shen Chengjing, but this little bit of warmth caused a crack in her heart.
She had thought that after what happened today, Shen Chengjing would definitely abandon her for fear of offending Ji Chuhe, but he didn't do that.
Does this mean that he still has deep feelings for her?
After all, in his previous life, he was the one who held her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in his mouth for fear of melting her!
Ji Qingyuan's eyes couldn't help but become moist, and her heart gradually softened.
……
It was dark at night, and Ji Chuhe was still sitting by the window reading a book.
Mianzhu trimmed the candle wick, and the light suddenly became much brighter.
"Madam, it's already late. Go to bed early. Don't let your eyes get hurt."
"I'll finish reading this last bit before going to bed." Ji Chuhe didn't stay up today because of reading, she was waiting for Rong Song.
Suddenly, a figure flashed outside and Rong Song landed steadily in the yard.
"Madam!" he called anxiously while standing outside.
Ji Chuhe put down the book, stood up and walked out.
"Madam." Rong Song immediately bowed, his face looking very abnormal, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He didn't know if his wife would believe him if he told her what he heard today.
It's really unbelievable!
When Ji Chuhe saw Rong Song like this, he knew that his plan had been realized.
She threatened Ji Qingyuan for three purposes.
First, she wanted to let Shen Chengjing know that she was going to take action against Ji Qingyuan!
Shen Chengjing is so ruthless, and his relationship with Ji Qingyuan has been completely worn out in this life. Once Ji Qingyuan has no value in his heart and will implicate him, he will definitely kill Ji Qingyuan!
What she wanted was for the two of them to become enemies and kill each other with their own hands.
She didn't want to dirty her hands and let her life be tarnished by these two worse than pigs and dogs.
Second, she wanted to get information about her past life from Ji Qingyuan.
If Shen Chengjing wanted to kill, he would definitely try every possible means to get everything Ji Qingyuan knew!
Didn't Shen Chengjing take refuge with the Luo family? Then he is in opposition to both the Duke's Mansion and the Huaiyang Prince's Mansion. Naturally, he would ask for news about the Duke's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion so that he could actively perform in front of the Luo family and gain merit!
Third, she didn't want anyone to know that she was living a second life, but she also wanted her mother to know the fate of the Prince's Mansion and the Duke of Rong's Mansion in their previous lives.
It was just the opportunity for Rong Song to monitor Ji Qingyuan and Shen Chengjing that allowed Rong Song to hear these incredible news.
"Rong Song, has something happened with Ji Qingyuan and Shen Chengjing again?" Ji Chuhe asked proactively.
"Madam, I want to talk to you alone." Rong Song looked solemn.
"Okay." Ji Chuhe nodded.
Rong Song stepped into the room and said solemnly, "Madam, what I'm going to say next may be a bit bizarre, so please be prepared."
"Go ahead." Ji Chuhe responded calmly.
"That Ji Qingyuan remembers things from her past life! I'm not sure what the past life she mentioned is related to our present life! But, she said that the entire Huaiyang Palace would be executed for treason! The masters of the Rongguo Palace were also dismissed from their posts and sent away from the imperial capital!"
"This...how is this possible?" Ji Chuhe shook his head and retorted, leaning on the corner of the table to steady himself.
It seems like I was shocked by this incident!
