Chapter 496 Death of the Previous Princesses
"The Crown Prince and Zheng Lang have a deep affection for each other, which is a good thing. I was worried before that they would not get along well, but now it seems that I was worrying too much!"
After she finished speaking, she paused and put down the teacup in her hand.
"However, the girl from the Zhong family is really dead. Have you seen her body?"
Jianlan said: "It's absolutely true, the coffin has been carried out!"
"If she hadn't died, Zhong Changli wouldn't have sent a maid to marry her in her place."
Concubine Li's eyes were cold, with some obvious malice in them.
"None of the four princesses lived up to their expectations. Zhong Xinyu was allowed to die like this. It was such a relief for her!"
Jian Lan was slightly startled, and asked tentatively: "Madam Li Fei, could it be that the deaths of the three previous concubines of His Royal Highness Ye Wang were not accidents?"
Concubine Li glanced at her and said sinisterly: "I never said it was an accident, but do you know why they died on their wedding night?"
Jianlan lowered her head and said, "I don't know. I hope Your Majesty can tell me something."
Concubine Li slammed her hand on the table, anger evident on her delicately made-up face.
"Because they are cowardly, weak and stupid, I chose them as my princesses and let them serve me to slowly torture Luo Junhe. But they told me that they are still young and do not want to be widows, let alone be buried with the Night King."
"What's worse, you even tried to talk to me about the deep love between mother and son, asking me to have a clear conscience and let the Night King go?"
"What a joke! Luo Junhe, that wolf cub, I wish he would die sooner rather than later. Why should I have such a deep love for him?"
"What's even more ridiculous is that the third princess even threatened me. She shamelessly negotiated with me and asked me to give her 150,000 taels of silver, otherwise she would report me to the emperor, saying that I abused the War God Prince of Dongchen Country."
Concubine Li clenched her fingertips, narrowed her eyes, and sneered: "He is my son. I can abuse him however I want. When will it be the turn of a few yellow-haired girls to teach me how to do things?"
Jianlan's breathing stagnated, "So, Your Majesty, you sent people to get rid of them?"
Concubine Li smiled slowly, and said with a fake smile: "I pretended to agree to their request and let them be the Night Princess for a day. Do you think I am being reasonable?"
Jianlan didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. She had just heard about this matter.
Before this, Concubine Li had other trusted subordinates around her, but they all died at the hands of Ji Yuntang later.
Now she is the only person she trusts the most.
Concubine Li knew Jianlan's temper, so she was not angry. She continued to talk to herself: "Since the three former princesses know my secret but are unwilling to be used by me, they can only die!"
"If they die, I will immediately send someone to spread the news that Luo Junhe scared them to death on their wedding night."
"In this way, he has gone from being the famous war god prince of Dongchen country to a stray dog who is unlucky in marriage and short-lived. Which minister in the court will dare to support him and work for him in the future?"
Jianlan's expression was slightly restrained, hiding the mist that flashed across her eyes. She asked curiously: "Why didn't Miss Zhong die?"
Concubine Li sneered, tapped the tea bowl with her fingertips, and said sternly: "Because she escaped from marriage and eloped with a wild man on the wedding day, I felt at that time that I must have found the right person this time!"
"She married Luo Junhe, who stole her love and separated the couple. Zhong Xinyu and her lover love each other but cannot be together. Will she hate Luo Junhe in her heart?"
"If she hates him, will she vent her anger and torture him?"
"I thought I could finally get what I wanted this time, but I didn't expect Zhong Xinyu to be such a fool. She gave up her good position as a princess and insisted on running back to find that poor boy."
"And Luo Junhe is even more ridiculous. He is actually willing to write a divorce letter to Zhong Xinyu and let her go back to reunite with her lover. How can I let them get what they want?"
"I can't even be with the one I love, so why can they? I just can't bear to see lovers get married. I want to break them up, letting them suffer but never see each other again."
"So I poisoned her with a mad poison. If she dares to escape the marriage, she must bear the consequences of running away. I want to torture them blatantly, so that they can love each other but cannot stay together forever."
The more Concubine Li spoke, the crazier her expression became, and she even started laughing like crazy.
"But now, my goal has been achieved. I have tortured Zhong Xinyu for a year and finally tortured her to death!"
"If she wants to hate someone, she should hate Luo Junhe. Who told him not to die earlier? If he had died, there wouldn't be so many innocent girls dying because of him."
"So, their tragedy was caused by Luo Junhe, and has nothing to do with me."
Jianlan is no longer surprised by Concubine Li's crazy behavior!
She used to be able to restrain herself, but after being slept with by Emperor Jingyang several times, she would go crazy from time to time.
Jianlan knew that she was jealous.
She was jealous that Zhong Xinyu could be with the person she loved, and couldn't stand seeing others live a happy and fulfilling life, so she forcibly broke them up.
Seeing that Concubine Li was in a bad mood, Jianlan hurried forward to support her.
"Your Highness, now that the Crown Prince and the Prince have recognized each other, you don't need to worry about many things anymore. Go back to your room and rest for a while!"
Concubine Li pursed her lips tightly, her eyes dark and cruel, "Empress, as long as Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang are not dead, I will not be at peace."
However, she also knew that now was not the time to actively cause trouble for Ji Yuntang.
In fact, the prince's two actions were too risky!
Although the result was not satisfactory, fortunately nothing went wrong in the end, which is a blessing in disguise!
Night Palace.
After listening to Ji Yuntang's plan, Luo Sinian felt that her trick was really brilliant.
"Third sister-in-law, you are so amazing. You not only helped Miss Zhong and her lover, but also made the Zhong family receive the punishment they deserved. In the end, you even got a lot of dowry for free. You are really amazing!"
He gave Ji Yuntang a thumbs up. Luo Junhe raised his eyebrows slightly and joked: "That's right, don't you see whose princess your third sister-in-law is?"
Ji Yuntang curled his lips into a smile and rolled his eyes at Luo Junhe.
"Okay, you two brothers, stop talking nonsense, or the food will get cold."
After they finished their meal, Ji Yuntang said to Luo Sinian, "Your Highness Prince Chen, I may have to go on a long journey tomorrow, so I need to ask you for a favor."
Luo Sinian was slightly startled and asked, "Where is the Third Princess going?"
Ji Yuntang glanced at Luo Junhe with a faint smile on her lips. She gently reached out and grabbed the man's hand.
