Chapter 227: Get the inside information and hide yourself
Inside the house, candlelight flickered.
The faces of the two people in the light flickered.
There were footsteps outside and a maid came in carrying a bowl of medicine.
"Master, the lady's medicine is ready."
Shen Chengjing suddenly changed his attitude and took the medicine bowl and walked to Ji Qingyuan.
"I'll feed her, you can go away." Shen Chengjing said to the maid.
"Yes." The maid immediately retreated.
Shen Chengjing blew on the medicine before feeding it to Ji Qingyuan's mouth.
Ji Qingyuan couldn't believe it. Was the person in front of her still Shen Chengjing?
Such tenderness only existed in the first few days after their marriage!
A thought popped up in her mind uncontrollably: If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Ji Qingyuan was a little wary and refused to drink it.
Shen Chengjing suddenly put down the bowl, his face full of anger, "Ji Qingyuan, do you think I want to poison you? For you, I don't want to ruin my future!"
Ji Qingyuan thought about it and felt that it made sense.
"I'll drink it," she said immediately.
Shen Chengjing picked up the medicine bowl again with good temper and fed him mouthful by mouthful.
After drinking the medicine, Ji Qingyuan lay on the bed. The severe pain from her hands and feet was unbearable for her, and she was in a listless state.
"It must be Ji Chuhe who ordered someone to hurt me!" Ji Qingyuan spoke slowly.
"This is why I don't want you to spread the word that you are her sister, but you won't listen!"
"I thought that this would be enough to restrain her and prevent her from attacking me! Is she really not afraid that I will report her to the police? Yes! Report her to the police! Committing a crime in broad daylight is a serious crime!"
"Ji Qingyuan, it's not enough for you to offend Ji Chuhe, do you want to offend the entire Rongguo Mansion?" Shen Chengjing asked in a deep voice.
Ji Qingyuan was suddenly speechless.
"If you dare to report to the police, who would dare to investigate? Do you have evidence to prove that the person who hurt you was sent by Ji Chuhe? What if they accuse you of falsely accusing the Crown Prince's wife? That is a blasphemy against the dignity of the royal family! It's a capital crime!"
After Shen Chengjing said this, Ji Qingyuan was scared.
"What do you think I meant by what I said to you? I was protecting you!" Shen Chengjing said, looking at Ji Qingyuan's expression.
Ji Qingyuan was immersed in sadness and helplessness.
Ji Chuhe dared to have someone attack her in the street today and tortured her in such a cruel way. How dare he attack her a second time?
Next time, who knows what she will face!
"Husband, is there no other way? Can I only let Ji Chuhe slaughter me? Husband, we are husband and wife after all, you can't just ignore me." Ji Qingyuan softened her voice and begged for mercy.
Now, the only one she can rely on is Shen Chengjing.
"My current official position is too low. If I can be promoted to a higher position, your status will also rise. If Ji Chuhe wants to touch you again, he will have to think twice." Shen Chengjing said tentatively.
"But how is it possible to get promoted in such a short time?" Ji Qingyuan also knew a little about officialdom.
"Unless there is an opportunity that only ordinary people can encounter, Yuan'er, think about it again, do you really not remember what happened in the imperial capital in your previous life? For example, a big event that can affect the entire court." Shen Chengjing couldn't help asking.
Ji Qingyuan shook her head. "I have been in Huaiyang in my previous life. How can I know what happened in the imperial capital?"
"Then you must have heard about who the emperor appointed as the crown prince, right?" Shen Chengjing continued to dig out the information he wanted.
Ji Qingyuan stopped talking.
Shen Chengjing was so angry that he wanted to strangle her to death.
This is still on guard against him.
Ji Qingyuan really didn’t know that in her previous life, when she died, the emperor hadn’t even appointed a crown prince yet.
Shen Chengjing asked her this question more than once.
She never answered, and she wanted to keep Shen Chengjing hanging.
If Shen Chengjing gets everything he wants to know from her, she will be worthless! She is not that stupid. She still wants to use Shen Chengjing, so she will not easily speak about the past life.
No matter whether she knew the answers to the questions Shen Chengjing asked her or not, she pretended not to answer them.
"Yuan'er, I know that too many things have happened between us that have made you feel resentful towards me, but this time, I really want to help you. We have already agreed to live a good life. I don't care about your efforts for me at all, as you said. I remember! But I really want to live like you said in your previous life!"
Ji Qingyuan still didn't speak.
Shen Chengjing suppressed his anger and asked another question.
"Then do you know why the entire Huaiyang Palace was executed in the previous life?"
On the roof, Rong Song's body tilted and almost made a noise.
In the previous life, the entire royal family was executed?
He heard these words and it was like he was hallucinating!
Finally, he pinched himself hard to calm down.
Continue to listen carefully to the movements in the room.
"The Emperor executed the entire Huaiyang Palace because of treason! Haven't I said this many times?"
"Do you know some inside information? If we can find some key evidence, can we bring down the Huaiyang Palace? Do we still need to worry about Ji Chuhe's revenge?"
Shen Chengjing's words immediately gave Ji Qingyuan a new idea!
Yes, why must she wait for the things in her previous life to happen slowly! She can push some things to happen in advance! For example, let the Huaiyang Palace be executed as soon as possible!
However, she didn't know about the crimes committed by the palace until she was arrested. How could she find evidence?
"Think about it, if the Prince of Huaiyang wanted to rebel, he would have to station troops and store food. You were the wife of the Crown Prince in your previous life. Didn't they reveal any clues about these things?"
"Perhaps it has something to do with the military service reform? Taking advantage of the reform to stockpile soldiers and food?"
"It's very likely!" Shen Chengjing nodded solemnly, "Are there any other suspicious points?"
"Yes! A few days before the palace was raided, the prince suddenly rushed into Concubine Xu's place. Not long after, a fire broke out in Concubine Xu's residence. It seemed that the prince burned Concubine Xu's things! The Concubine Xu cried and screamed that the prince was a heartless and unfilial son!"
"The prince also said something at the time. He said he was wrong! Very wrong! After so many years of forbearance, he ended up with this!"
Shen Chengjing was completely confused after hearing this.
It feels like what Prince Huaiyang said is unfair.
However, Young Master Luo must be very happy to hear this news.
How should he tell Young Master Luo so that he wouldn't be suspicious?
Let's say that when he was in Huaiyang, he noticed something was wrong and suspected that the King of Huaiyang had rebellious intentions. Young Master Luo would definitely not miss this opportunity and would definitely send someone to investigate secretly.
If he really finds out something, he will have made a great contribution!
Promotion and wealth are just around the corner!
This was the first time he had an in-depth understanding of the Huaiyang Palace being executed by the entire family. He had always been concerned about his own affairs.
Before, he thought that the execution of the entire Huaiyang Palace had nothing to do with him, but now it is different, this is related to his future!
"Yuan'er, the entire Huaiyang Palace was executed, but the Rongguo Mansion was not implicated?" Shen Chengjing couldn't help but ask.
