Chapter 494 Strange
Seeing Ming Xia getting off the carriage, Zhong Xinyu hurried to greet him.
"Mingxia, are you okay?"
Ming Xia shook her head, her eyes reddened, "Miss, I'm fine. Princess Ye saved me and helped me fake my death and escape. From now on, I can always follow you, Miss."
Zhong Xinyu turned to look at Pei Zhiyi and Chen Hu and bowed to them.
"Thank you Miss Pei and Princess Ye for saving my life. Thank you to this brave man for sending Ming Xia out safely. I am very grateful."
Pei Zhiyi pulled her up and said, "Don't thank me. Tangtang and I are very happy to see you and Mr. He finally get married."
"It's getting late, you should get on the road quickly. I've already prepared the carriage for you!"
Just then, another carriage drove over. Several people turned around and found that the person coming was Ji Yuntang.
Pei Zhiyi was surprised, "Tangtang, why are you here?"
Ji Yuntang looked at them, smiled slightly and said: "I almost forgot an important thing, I came to give Miss Zhong some money."
She took the box from Wang Sheng's hand and said, "Miss Zhong, please accept this 80,000 taels of silver."
Zhong Xinyu refused without even thinking about it: "Princess, you must not do that. You have already helped us so much, how can I still accept your money?"
Ji Yuntang said: "This is not my silver, but your dowry, Miss Zhong. Today, the Zhong Mansion sent someone to deliver your dowry. Because it is inconvenient for you to carry so many things on the road, I helped to replace it with silver notes."
After she finished speaking, she asked Wang Sheng to take out a small box from the carriage.
"Take these medicines too. If you have a headache, fever, or injury on the road, they may be useful. I have written down the effects and usage of the medicines. You can just read them when the time comes."
Pei Zhiyi stood up and said with a smile: "Tangtang is still thoughtful."
Zhong Xinyu and He Wei also expressed their gratitude to Ji Yuntang profusely.
At this moment, a small porcelain bottle fell from Ming Xia's body and rolled right at Ji Yuntang's feet.
She picked it up and asked curiously: "What is this?"
Ming Xia then remembered something important. She slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my poor memory. How could I have forgotten such an important thing!"
"This was given to me by Madam Xu before I got married. She didn't tell me what it was, but only told me to carry it with me and that she would send someone to tell me when I needed it."
"I thought this thing looked like some kind of medicine, so I thought of giving it to the princess after I saw her, but I almost forgot about it!"
Ji Yuntang opened the stopper of the porcelain bottle, and a strange fragrance wafted into her nose. She said to herself that something was wrong and immediately covered the bottle again.
Pei Zhiyi looked at her reaction and wondered, "Tangtang, what's wrong?"
Ji Yuntang's eyes were slightly cold as he explained to them: "It contains a highly toxic substance called Wudanxiang. If you sprinkle it around, it will attract poisonous insects, snakes, and scorpions. If you pour it into water and drink it, it will cause bleeding from all seven orifices and cause death."
"Xu gave you this thing, she must want to harm Prince Yu and this princess."
When Ming Xia heard this, her face turned pale with fright. She took a deep breath, feeling terrified.
"Fortunately, I felt that Xu had bad intentions, so I kept an eye on her. Otherwise, I don't know how she would harm His Royal Highness the Night King and the Night Princess."
Pei Zhiyi clenched his fists and said angrily: "This Xu family is really vicious. It is not a pity to die ten thousand times."
Ji Yuntang looked at the small porcelain bottle in his hand and sneered.
"If this princess is not mistaken, this medicine should have been given to her by someone else."
It’s self-evident who it is.
Zhong Xinyu seemed to have thought of something. She couldn't help but curl her fingers, looking lost.
After struggling for a moment, she raised her head and looked at Ji Yuntang.
"Princess Ye, there is something I am not sure whether I should tell you or not."
Ji Yuntang said calmly: "Miss Zhong, you can say whatever you want."
Zhong Xinyu's lips twitched, and she said awkwardly: "I suspect that the poison I was poisoned with was not given by Xu, but by someone else."
Ji Yuntang hurriedly asked: "Miss Zhong, do you have any evidence?"
Zhong Xinyu shook her head and said awkwardly: "I don't have any evidence, but I have analyzed it with He Lang, and we both agree that it is impossible that Xu poisoned me."
"Xu is eager for me to get married out of the Zhong Mansion as soon as possible and marry a prince with status and position to pave the way for her two sons. How could she poison me and keep me in the mansion?"
Having said that, Zhong Xinyu paused, with a sharp look flashing in her eyes.
She raised her head and looked at Ji Yuntang. "Don't you think that the deaths of the first three wives of His Royal Highness the Night King were all very strange?"
"Although I don't know them personally, I have heard about how they died. One committed suicide by jumping into a well, one died by taking poison, and the other hanged herself. Rumors outside say that they were frightened to death by His Majesty the Night King."
"I don't know martial arts, and I don't think I'm a brave person. Even I wasn't scared by His Majesty the Night King, so how could they be scared to death by His Majesty the Night King?"
"So I think they were most likely killed by people around the Night King, who deliberately framed him."
"I am lucky. I was only poisoned but not dead. I suspect this person will do it again. Princess, you must be more careful."
Zhong Xinyu's analysis further confirmed Ji Yuntang's inner guess that the deaths of the first three Princesses of the Night had nothing to do with Luo Junhe, and Luo Junhe was deliberately harmed.
As for the purpose, it could be to ruin his reputation, or it could be to force him to death...
In short, this person is extremely vicious at heart.
Ji Yuntang also had a suspicion in his heart, and that was Concubine Li.
You know, Luo Junhe's previous princesses, including Zhong Xinyu and herself, were all selected by Concubine Li for Luo Junhe.
She had always claimed to be a good wife and mother, but after being exposed by herself, she stopped pretending and wanted to kill Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe whenever she got the chance.
However, the devil is always stronger than the good, and Concubine Li never succeeded.
Fortunately, Luo Junhe married me as his fifth princess. If it was any other woman, she would have been killed by Concubine Li and Aunt Xu long ago!
But now is not the time for her to settle accounts with Concubine Li. She has more important things to do.
Ji Yuntang smiled at Zhong Xinyu and said, "Thank you Miss Zhong for your reminder. I will be careful. Take care on your journey."
After seeing off Zhong Xinyu, Ming Xia and the other two, Ji Yuntang said goodbye to Pei Zhiyi and returned to the Night Palace.
At the same time, inside the Zhong Mansion.
Xu and Zhong Changli were scolded by the people all the way. They crawled back to the mansion in a panic.
