Chapter 531
Chapter 531
There was silence.
The princess didn't even have time to react before the maid died.
The moment the little maid fell to the ground, Ji Yunqing immediately looked in the direction of the little maid towards everyone present.
That was the direction where Concubine Li and Concubine Lou were sitting.
Damn, how come these two are so close?
There's no need for them to be ambiguous, so what's the point of them sticking together?
Ji Yunqing couldn't make up his mind and finally listed both of them as suspects.
The princess' voice rang out, breaking the silence: "Someone, come quickly!"
Ji Yunqing pursed her lips, made room, and watched the servants carry the little maid away.
She wanted to go forward and take a closer look, but she didn't have the courage.
She's actually quite timid.
Someone has died, so there is no need to investigate the matter further.
But the princess still remembered this incident and insisted: "According to the reaction of the little maid, Concubine Ji was framed. As for the person who did it——"
The princess glanced at everyone and said coldly, "The palace will find out sooner or later!"
When he came to his senses, Ji Yunqing had been sent back to Osmanthus Courtyard.
She realized belatedly that she was scared and vented her emotions to Daylily: "Today was really scary. The whole process was full of ups and downs. It was as exciting as flying in the sky without anything."
Although she had never actually flown like this, she had had such strange dreams.
Xuancao was also afraid, but she insisted on comforting him: "Don't be afraid, concubine. If a little maid wants to find someone, she should go to find that person first. The master was wronged."
"She is someone who has wronged the master. How dare she come to you, the master?"
Xuancao became more and more angry as she spoke, but she no longer needed to be afraid: "She may bully the weak and fear the strong, but she can never bully you, my master!"
Ji Yunqing: “…”
You are hurting me!
"I'm really tired today. Xuancao, please rest with me."
Today, not only did she see the little maid die, but Hemerocallis also saw it.
She was worried that Hemerocallis would be frightened and unable to sleep, so she decided to stay with her tonight.
Daylily knew her master's good intentions and agreed immediately.
"Master, who do you think is responsible for this today?"
Ji Yunqing thought about it and shook his head: "I don't know, but he is probably not a good person. Maybe he is the mastermind behind the poisoning of the children in the mansion, and he is also trying to blackmail me.
I don’t know if the prince has found out anything. I’m a little curious, but even if the prince finds out something, he won’t tell me.”
King Zhao was like this. He would never discuss state affairs with people in the backyard, so there was no such thing as a beautiful woman who could speak eloquently in the backyard.
Come to think of it, King Zhao has so many officials, and perhaps also some aides, which is enough.
Going to the backyard is to change your mood.
Who would like to have an international news interruption in an entertainment program?
Ji Yunqing was amused by his own thoughts.
She looked at Xuancao, her expression darkened, and her thoughts returned to what happened today: "Today, when I saw that little maid die, she stared at the two concubines.
I guess it has something to do with them, but I don’t know who did it.”
The two of them are also weird. One has a relationship with the maid's fiancé's mother, and the other has a relationship with the fiancé. Oh, yes, there's also her.
The little maid's uncle turned out to be the steward of the Ji Mansion. It was hard to tell how they found him.
Ji Yunqing didn't think much about it. There are so many coincidences in this world. What if he deliberately recognized his relative?
It is not impossible that this is just to confuse the public.
Shaking his head, Ji Yunqing stopped thinking about these terrible things.
"No matter what, the master has finally cleared his name and found out that it was not you who did this. From now on, this rumor cannot be spread in the mansion.
If anyone talks about this in the future, I will bring up what happened today and I will definitely be able to make it clear.
It's a pity that I don't have the chance to clarify the rumors about the Fourth Young Master's background. I can only find another opportunity."
Rumors about Rarity's origins?
Ji Yunqing: Is there really no chance?
She went over everything carefully again and finally confirmed that there was still a chance.
People would talk about this and that from time to time, and the topics would be all over the place, but they would never talk about this.
Ji Yunqing was a little annoyed. She was in a daze and was led away by everyone, and she subconsciously ignored it.
The princess tempted her with the position of concubine, while ignoring the matter and deliberately not clarifying it, which is of course good for her.
She was not very smart and had a child of questionable identity. Compared with the eldest son of Concubine Li, the second son of Concubine Lou, and the third son of Concubine Xu, she posed much less threat to the princess.
As for Concubine He, the biological mother of the princess's child, if she becomes a concubine, the princess will not be able to sleep well.
When one day the identity of the legitimate son is confirmed, and one day the princess dies suddenly, it will be very convenient for Concubine He, the legitimate son's biological mother, to be a concubine.
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore"
Ji Yunqing thought about it for a moment and felt that it was too complicated. She was not trying to hide her incompetence, she really couldn't understand all these twists and turns.
Xuancao actively asked: "Concubine, what should we do next? Do you want me to spread some rumors and muddy the waters?"
Unexpectedly, Hemerocallis had such an idea. Ji Yunqing asked curiously, "How are you going to spread it?"
Hemerocallis was stunned as she didn't expect her master to ask her suddenly.
Then she thought for a moment and said, "Just say that the eldest, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh sons in the mansion are not the prince's biological children!"
Ji Yunqing: “…”
The corners of her mouth twitched: "Good girl, you are so awesome!"
If you don't look for evidence or explanation and just overturn the whole boat with one stick, you will end up in trouble.
Daylily smiled happily when she was praised by her master.
"But if we are found out, we will all be in trouble, so we should use this trick with caution."
Ji Yunqing reluctantly rejected this plan.
"Ah? Then what should we do?"
Hemerocallis was in a dilemma. This good idea didn't work. Could they just wait?
The master and servant looked at each other with sad faces.
"Ugh!"
"Ugh!"
They both sighed at the same time and looked at each other.
"actually……"
Ji Yunqing hesitated, "I have a way, but I don't know if it will work."
"any solution?"
Xuancao was happy: "Master's idea must be good. We are saved!"
"Look, isn't it said that Ruirui is not my daughter? Let's admit it!"
Xuancao was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth: "Huh?"
Is this appropriate?
"Master, calm down. You told the public that the Fourth Young Master was not your son. Are you going to find a mother for him?
What if the person we find is not good and he admits it?"
Ji Yunqing was confident of victory and said decisively: "Just say that this child is born by the prince himself. A man should not show his pregnancy when he gives birth to a child!"
If you're going to do something, do it big!
Hemerocallis: “…”
