Chapter 419
three days later
Nearing midnight
There were only a few stars in the sky. Outside the west door of Prince Zhao's mansion, a narrow and dilapidated carriage had been parked.
This back door in the west corner is very far away from the masters' courtyard and close to the outer street, so it is not often used by servants and is often locked.
But today it is half open for some reason.
In the darkness, the person in the carriage impatiently lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out, but before he could see the real face clearly, he quickly put it down again.
I only vaguely remember that he was a young man with a handsome face.
separated by a wall
Ji Er was waiting anxiously in the darkness. She didn't dare to get too close, nor too far away.
"Why hasn't this little bitch come over yet?"
“Time is running out!”
"She really has no heart at all?"
"That was a relationship that lasted for several years. Think about how much Ji Yunqing loved her fiancé, but now he's banging his head against the wall like a blind man."
"She's not blind now, is she?"
"No, no, no, you can't think like that. Even if there is no love anymore, a normal person would at least come over and say a few words if they have the opportunity to reminisce with an old lover, right?"
"Let's take a step back and say, if she doesn't come, isn't she afraid that the matter will be exposed?"
"As long as she dares to come over, this matter will be half done!"
Jin Yan, the maidservant beside Ji Er, saw her master pacing back and forth in annoyance, muttering to herself.
He was mumbling something and I didn't know what he was saying.
She sighed helplessly, quietly slapped a mosquito on her body to death again, and stayed here obediently.
Her master had assigned her a task, so she tightened the door lock in her hand.
Once you see someone passing by, rush over and close and lock the door.
There was no need to peek to see who it was.
Don't worry about anything else.
The master said that if they did this, they would be able to live a good life with luxury, fine clothes and delicious food, and could order servants around.
Alas, she was one of those slaves.
Ji Er paced back and forth anxiously, and had trampled out a winding path on the green grass.
She warned the maid again in a cold voice: "As soon as someone passes by, you must close and lock the door. Don't hesitate!"
Jin Yan held the door lock and nodded quickly.
"Yes, master"
"Keep your eyes open, just lock the door, I'll take care of the rest!"
Jin Yan nodded again hurriedly: "Master, rest assured, I won't look at it."
She didn't want to be beaten.
Time passed minute by minute, and suddenly hurried footsteps were heard in the front yard.
Eunuch Shi walked hurriedly over and almost bumped into the door in panic. Only then did he remember to knock.
"My Lord, this is bad."
The man inside the door spoke lazily, and said simply, "Speak."
Eunuch Shi pressed his old face against the door. He looked around and saw two guys guarding outside the door. He waved his hand and asked them to leave.
Then he lowered his voice and said, "I have received news that Concubine Ji is going to elope with someone - Your Majesty?"
Before he could finish his sentence, the door opened.
Eunuch Shi almost fell in.
King Zhao was surrounded by a low pressure like the coldest days of winter, his face was darker than the bottom of a pot, and he asked word by word: "Who are you talking about?"
"It is said that Concubine Ji wants to elope with someone tonight, right now"
As soon as he finished speaking, the prince disappeared from sight, and Eunuch Shi hurriedly chased after him.
"Your Majesty, it's at the back door in the west corner."
Eunuch Shi was worried, wondering if the prince had heard what he said.
Soon he discovered that the prince did not go to the Osmanthus Courtyard, but went directly to the back door in the west corner.
He chased after the man breathlessly, but it was of no use as he was soon left behind.
In the darkness, someone was watching this scene with great joy.
"Wait until tomorrow to spread the rumor that some of the prince's offspring are not his biological children."
Concubine Liu smiled particularly sweetly, her rosy face was pretty and charming, but the words she spoke contained malice.
It's true that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I have to thank Ji Er for her inspiration, otherwise she would not have come up with this "good" plan.
That little brat has become someone with an awkward identity, and the other kids' talents aren't that good either. It's obvious that they can cause a lot of trouble to Prince Zhao's mansion.
"Yes"
No one knew what was happening here, and King Zhao quickly found the place. He was still hoping for the best, thinking that there might be a misunderstanding.
Who would have thought that there was actually a shabby carriage parked here.
The small door of the palace was deliberately left open.
Does Ji really want to elope with someone?
And there was that torn curtain hanging on the carriage that moved from time to time!
Although I couldn't see the person clearly, but the curtain was posing in a coquettish manner, and I could tell at a glance that the person sitting inside was not a serious person.
With disdain on his face, he strode forward.
I want to see what kind of person this adulterer is!
Just as the man reached the door, he was pushed hard on the back by someone, followed by the sound of the door closing and then quickly locked.
When Jin Yan gritted her teeth and forced herself to close the door and lock it, she realized how stiff her hands were.
God!
Who was that person she just pushed out?
I do not know!
It was too dark to see his face clearly, but I knew he was tall and strong, and he must be the master.
As for which master it was, the maid Jin Yan's mind was already a mess and she couldn't think of anything.
Is there such a strong master in the mansion?
No matter what, at least I have completed the master's order.
The master said she only needed to lock the door and not worry about anything else.
He leaned his back against the door.
It’s too, too stimulating. She needs to take a break.
Ji Er rushed forward, his voice full of uncontrollable excitement: "How's it going? Pushed the person out?"
Jin Yan nodded in a daze, with cold sweat on her back: "Yeah"
"here you go"
Ji Er rarely praised her clever maid.
You really know how to get things done!
Now, no matter if that little bitch Ji Yunqing elopes with someone or stays out alone with a man for a night, she will no longer be a threat.
The more Ji Er thought about it, the more excited he became. His breathing became rapid and the smile on his handsome face gradually distorted.
She will replace everything of Ji Yunqing, all of it!
Even if it's just being Ji Yunqing's substitute.
Ji Yunqing, who was being muttered, turned over in the sweet and soft quilt and continued to fall into a beautiful dream.
She had long forgotten about elopement and midnight.
Only those boring people don’t know the beauty of bed.
As the sound of the lock being locked was heard, a maid from another courtyard also ran back with peace of mind.
After hearing the news, Concubine Li waved to the maid to go down and rest.
She stood alone in front of the dim candle, slowly pulled out a secret letter covered with words, and gently placed it on the flame.
The writing gradually burned black and then turned into ashes.
Prince Lie should like the gift she gave him very much. As for that idiot Ji Er, he is not a concern at all.
