The next morning, Ji Yu brought Qingqing to the Princess's Mansion.

Ji Yu went over and knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.

Ji Yu bowed slightly and said politely, "I am Ji Yu, a newly-appointed Jinshi, and I have come to pay my respects to the princess."

"The princess has gone to court today and she won't be back for another hour. I'll go ask another master in the mansion if I can let you come in and wait." The butler said politely.

About ten minutes later, the butler led the two people in.

"Madam, please come here with me. Lord Ji has something to do when he goes to see the young master. It would not be appropriate for you to go with him." The housekeeper deliberately separated the two.

Ji Yu thought about the Princess's Mansion. Apart from the Princess, the so-called owner must be the Prince Consort.

It was indeed inappropriate for the prince consort to meet a married woman, so Ji Yu nodded in agreement.

Ji Yu was led around and around, and finally arrived at a hidden room.

Ji Yu had been sitting there for a while when a charming female voice came from behind him, "Did Ji Bangyan deliver himself to the door?"

Ji Yu looked back and saw Princess Roujia standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

Ji Yu was speechless. This was the Princess's residence. Why would the Ninth Princess appear in the residence so early in the morning? It was really better to resolve an grievance than to create one! There was no way to hide this time...

He quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness Ji Yu greets Princess Roujia."

"You are finally in my hands." Roujia approached Ji Yu step by step, and pulled Ji Yu's belt with her hand. "Brother Ji, who is more beautiful, me or your wife?"

Ji Yu was so frightened that he quickly stepped back a few steps, knelt down and replied, "I have come here to apologize to Princess Roujia in accordance with your majesty's order. Please don't joke with me. I am terrified."

"Brother Ji, do you want to leave?" Roujia couldn't help but ask when she saw Ji Yu moving closer to the door. However, there was no tenderness in her words, but rather a hint of sarcasm.

"Since I have already met the princess and expressed my apologies, I will return home." After saying this, Ji Yu wanted to turn around and leave.

"You dare!" Roujia's tone was full of threats. "If you leave the Princess's Mansion today, you will have to wait for your wife to collect her body!"

"Princess, please let my wife live." Upon hearing this, Ji Yu immediately knelt down.

"I don't need you to kneel to me. What I want is..." Princess Roujia deliberately lengthened her tone.

"I had a romantic encounter with Brother Ji."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yu kowtowed and said, "How dare I, a humble servant, marry the princess? Please stop joking."

"I'm not kidding. Everything I said today is true." Princess Roujia's eyes dimmed as she looked at a certain place. She continued, "Today you and I had a romantic moment. You know it and I know it. No one else will know about it. Our grudges are wiped out. And after you go back today, your wife won't know about it either."

"If you don't agree, you will all stay here today!" Princess Roujia said the last sentence in a threatening tone.

[Host. I think it's okay! If you don't obey, you will really die. If the target dies, the mission will fail. And you won't suffer any loss by doing this! ]

Ji Yu thought about it and asked in his mind, "What will happen to me if the mission fails?"

[You have a chance to fail the mission. But I advise you to save this chance for the more difficult mission later.] The system "kindly" reminded.

Ji Yu thought about it, and finally knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I wish to share the same bed with my first wife in life and the same coffin in death."

Ji Yu was gambling, betting that Princess Roujia would not dare to take action because of his status as a subject. So Ji Yu chose to use himself to protect Gu Qingqing, and live and die together.

[Ding! Mission target's favorability +10, current favorability is 100. ]

[Strategy successful, please end the task and return to the system after the host dies normally. ]

[? ? Is Qingqing nearby, or were all the words just now set up by Princess Roujia? She wants to make my husband and I alienated. So everything just now was his plan? ]

"You, you, you..." Princess Roujia didn't expect Ji Yu to answer like this. In her memory, men with three wives and four concubines, indulging in prostitution, she was used to it. It was the first time she saw Ji Yu being so stubborn, and she was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

"Princess, I beg you to let me and your wife live and die together." Ji Yuyou kowtowed and said.

The eldest princess also pushed the door open at this time. This was the first time she scolded her sister, "Roujia's mischief should have a limit. It's enough, stop it."

After hearing this, Princess Roujia immediately showed an aggrieved expression on her face. She casually opened the secret room next to her and Gu Qingqing was tied up inside.

Ji Yu hurried over, quickly untied the rope on her hands, and took off the handkerchief that was sealing her mouth.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Ji Yu hugged the girl in front of him tightly and comforted her carefully.

"Royal sister, don't be angry. I was just joking." Seeing that the eldest princess was indeed a little angry, Princess Roujia hurriedly explained.

"Princess, even jokes should be kept within limits! If you don't like me, you can take all the blame on me. Why bother making things difficult for my wife?" Ji Yu's voice was questioning.

"This palace... This palace just wants to test the relationship between you and your wife!" Princess Roujia explained hesitantly. She had been brought up in a pampered family and had never been questioned like this.

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree with you. You're not testing me, you're trying to alienate our relationship." Ji Yu was really angry this time, and he didn't care about the other party's identity and directly retorted.

"Lord Ji, please calm down. My sister didn't mean it. As the eldest sister, I want to apologize to you on her behalf for what happened today." The eldest princess' words were very sincere and gave Ji Yu enough face.

Neither Ji Yu nor Gu Qingqing said anything.

The eldest princess was speechless. Her little sister would bring trouble to her! !

"Roujia, take Madam Ji to the front to eat something. Lord Ji and I have something to talk about." The eldest princess ordered.

Ji Yu was still a little worried at first, but she dared not disobey the eldest princess's order.

"Then Lord Ji, please move. Let's go to another place." asked the eldest princess.

Ji Yu nodded and gave Qingqing a reassuring look.
