King Qi's face had several scar-like things, one red and one green, covering his entire face.
Yu Wenhao asked, "Did you get hit in the face with a cane?"
King Qi looked a little ugly and muttered, "What does it have to do with you? Don't ask."
Yuan Yongyi happily explained, "I beat him. I took him to the Huguo Temple to ask for a meeting with the abbot, who told him that he was haunted by ghosts. I beat him with dry willow branches to drive away the evil spirits."
"You're so good, why did you go to Huguo Temple to ask these questions?" Yu Wenhao asked.
Yuan Yongyi glanced at King Qi. Thinking of his illness, she smiled. "If you don't like it, go and ask."
King Qi was afraid that she would cause chaos, so he got up and took Yu Wenhao out to talk.
Yuan Yongyi happily asked Yuan Qingling, "I heard that Sister Yuan is pregnant with three children. That's great."
Yuan Qingling looked at her with a smile, "Is Prince Qi's illness getting better?"
Yuan Yongyi shook her head. "I don't know, and he didn't let anyone see him. I went back to find my grandmother about this matter. If there was no hope for her to be cured, she would go to the Huguo Temple to find the abbot to exorcise the evil spirits. Wouldn't I just take him there?"
"
"Is the abbot okay?"
"It's not that I'm fine, I'm haunted by evil spirits."
Yuan Qingling laughed. That meant it was okay.
After all, he is also engaged in scientific research, and he even learned to use magic sticks to drive away ghosts. Something happened.
But why did King Qi pretend to be ill? And he tricked Yuan Yongyi into caring about him so much.
The two of them talked in the house for a while, then they heard Man'er come in, and Princess Ji asked someone to invite the princess to come over.
Yuan Qingling was startled, "Call me over?"
"Yes," Man'er called Pei'er, the girl next to Princess Ji, to come in, "it's Pei'er here to invite you."
Pei'er came in and saluted, "Princess Chu, my princess asks you to go to Prince Ji's Mansion. Something important happened in the mansion."
"What happened?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Although he was not very familiar with Princess Ji, and the previous feud had not been completely resolved, he also knew that she would not invite her rashly unless something important really happened.
Pei'er stepped forward and said, "Princess, I only ask you to go there once. There are some things that need to be handled by you personally."
"Should I deal with the affairs of Prince Ji's Mansion?" Yuan Qing Ling was stunned.
"What's going on?" Yuan Yongyi asked. Seeing her hesitating, she lowered her face, "!"
Pei'er then took another step forward and said softly, "Concubine Chu discovered that there was a person hiding in the concubine's temple. The man's body was covered with needles, and what was written on it was your name and horoscope, Concubine Chu. Now it has alarmed Ji.
King, King Ji wants to take Princess Ji to the palace to be punished."
Yuan Yongyi was furious, "This is the art of hating victory. Who is so bold as to risk his life? This is a curse!"
After hearing this, Aunt Xi from outside hurriedly came in with an angry look on her face, "Did Princess Ji do it? The Guanyin she sent originally was a curse. Now that our Princess has been kind to her, will she repay the favor?"
Pei'er was so frightened that she knelt down and cried, "No, the princess will never do this again."
Yuan Yongyi frowned and said sternly, "You won't do that? Then why did you come out of her Buddhist hall? Now that King Ji wants to send her to the palace, she thinks that Sister Yuan is kind-hearted and asked you to invite Sister Yuan over.
So I can plead for her and forgive her, isn't it easier to absolve her of guilt? Don't think, she should be sent to the palace to be punished for her evil heart."
Pei'er cried and defended, "No, it's really not, Concubine Yuan, the princess is unjust."
"Please, Your Majesty!" Yuan Yongyi ordered.
Man'er immediately went to find Yu Wenhao.
After hearing this, Yu Wenhao and King Qi hurried out.
Yu Wenhao's face turned dark.
Because he was beaten with a stick before, Tang Yang went to find a master to ask whether the Prince of Chu's Mansion had indeed been recruiting gangsters recently and asked him to be careful, so he was very taboo about these things.
Now, people are stricken by the news. Such vicious victory-hating tactics are directed at the pregnant Lao Yuan. How can he hold back such a tone?
However, he did not completely lose his mind. He only said coldly, "Since you are here to invite me, we will go there. No matter who did it, the person must be found out today."
Yuan Qingling actually believed in Princess Ji.
It’s not that Princess Ji is a very kind person, or that she’s the one who needs treatment when she’s sick.
But if Princess Ji really hid such a taboo object in the Buddhist hall, Chu Er would never be able to get in.
This is a game.
It's probably not Chu Er's fault that Princess Ji got involved in this situation so unprepared.
Is Prince Ji, who keeps trying to force Princess Ji into sending Princess Ji into the palace, also involved?
If so, he really went to great lengths to help Chu Mingyang ascend to power.
Prince Qi and his wife also followed them there, and naturally Aunt Xi also followed. She was very angry along the way.
When they arrived at Prince Ji's Mansion, the door was closed. It was obvious that Pei'er ran out secretly to inform Yuan Qingling.
Yu Wenhao knocked on the door and barged in directly.
Everyone was in the main hall. Prince Ji was sitting on the main seat with an angry face. When he saw Yu Wenhao and Yuan Qingling coming, he looked slightly startled and glanced coldly at Princess Ji, who was sitting quietly next to him.
Then he stood up immediately, sighed and said, "Lao Wu, I can't forgive you. Your sister-in-law has done such a vicious thing. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation and I won't let this vicious woman off lightly."
"
Yu Wenhao saw a person on the table.
The person is made of cloth and is dressed in white clothes. The clothes look very familiar, and what's even more familiar is the face and hair accessories. He looks exactly like a human version of Yuan Qingling.
The man had bright silver needles all over his body, and a piece of cloth nailed to his back, with Yuan Qingling's name and birthday written on it.
What made him most distressed and furious was that this person was also a pregnant woman, with several needles stuck in her belly, all of which were inserted into her body, leaving only the needles.
Yu Wenhao's face was ashen, he looked at King Ji, gritted his teeth and asked, "Did the sister-in-law do it?"
King Ji said angrily, "This poisonous woman did it."
Yu Wenhao slowly turned his head and looked at Princess Ji. Princess Ji was wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket, her hands were quietly placed on the armrests, her face was a little pale, and her whole person was a little pitiful.
She looked at Yu Wenhao, then at Yuan Qingling, and finally, she landed on Chu Mingyang's face and slowly shook her head, "I didn't do it."
Chu Mingyang stood up immediately and sneered, "Hey? I asked you again and again if you did it, but you didn't say a word, you just acquiesced. Now that there is an injustice, there is an owner, and you don't admit it?"
Chu Mingyang was wearing a crimson satin skirt and a white fox fur cape today, and she was holding a hand-warming hand with grace and nobility. If not, she would have been thought to be the royal concubine of Prince Ji.
On the other hand, Princess Ji is really shabby and downcast.
However, Princess Ji slowly raised her head and curled her lips slightly, "Because, without my people, it is useless for me to deny it. You have to be right. Every injustice has its owner, and its debtor has its owner. Now they are all here."
Yes, then this will be fine."
Princess Ji, who suddenly became calm, was no longer as frail and vulnerable as Yuan Qingling and the others had seen when they came in.
