Chapter 412: A Trick

In the palace.

Prince Chen knelt outside the palace for a whole day.

My father finally withdrew the order to deduct salary.

He knew that this was already a blessing.

The death of a concubine's daughter, the daughter of a guilty minister, did not implicate anyone in Prince Chen's mansion, nor did it implicate the Jiang family.

Jiang Zijin had to die this time.

If she hadn't died in that secret room, her father wouldn't have let her live, and she might have suffered all kinds of torture.

She was a delicate and weak girl and couldn't bear it.

He now really loves and hates this woman.

Prince Chen left the palace and returned home.

After tidying up, he lay down on the couch and let the doctor give him acupuncture.

He had to kneel too much since he was a child. He had to kneel to everyone he met, and anyone could bully him.

He had a chronic injury in his knees, which would relapse whenever it rained. Today, he knelt on the cold ground for so long.

The pain was so severe that he was sweating coldly.

He gritted his teeth and swore that he would never kneel to anyone again, and others would be the only ones to kneel to him.

Thinking of Ruyue who was willing to die.

Prince Chen looked at his confidant and said, "Ruyue's sister...cannot be kept."

Keeping it will also bring disaster.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. It's my fault that I didn't do my job well. When I arrived at the farm, Ruyue's sister had already escaped. I suspected..." Manager Fang knelt down.

"What do you doubt?"

"I suspect that it was...the princess who secretly helped her escape."

Prince Chen's expression darkened instantly.

Good job, the princess he married with a formal marriage turned out to be a traitor.

After all, it was that old bitch Queen who chose her, so they are not on the same page at all.

He looked at Manager Fang and said, "It seems like it's time to replace my princess. Please look for someone else."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid now is not a good time."

Manager Fang was trembling with fear. None of the things the prince had asked her to do recently had gone smoothly.

It was all messed up by a few women.

He was afraid that King Chen would chop him to death in anger.

"Forget it! Let's put this matter on hold for now. Have the Yang family members been found?" Speaking of this, King Chen was furious.

His Jin'er is really scheming, worthy of being the only woman he loves. Her methods are truly admirable.

Even after his death he still didn't forget to trick him.

He was short-sighted and underestimated this woman.

I thought that when her father summoned her, she would panic and hide in the secret room.

I didn't expect that I had always been on guard against him and never trusted him.

They placed people in the farm and quietly moved Yang Zhener's family away before she entered the secret room.

Now that the Yang family is no longer restraining her, Yang Zhen'er is like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins.

Almost out of his control.

Manager Fang lowered his head and stammered, "No, we've searched all the houses and farms owned by Concubine Lan, and we've searched everywhere inside and outside the city, but we still can't find any trace of her..."

"Waste, would she be so stupid as to hide people in several houses?"

"Your Highness, there's another person who knows the whereabouts of the Yang family. It's Concubine Lan's maid, Ya'er. She's still being held in the Dali Temple..."

Prince Chen looked at the person on the ground coldly: "What are you waiting for? Get her out quickly. Are you still waiting to let her spend the New Year in there?" He thought of the little maid beside Jin'er.

Jin'er especially trusts her.

After finding the Yang family member, this person must not be kept.

She knows too much.

Manager Fang's heart was pounding, and he crouched even lower, his head almost touching the ground.

"Master, Ya'er was taken away by someone. I was a step too late. I suspect it was Concubine Zhengui's men..."

The air froze in an instant, and there was deathly silence.

Manager Fang didn't dare to look up.

At this moment, the master must want to kill him.

The master is still under house arrest, so they can only act stealthily and cannot go to the Dali Temple to demand someone under the banner of Prince Chen's Mansion.

This allowed people to get there first.

At this moment, Prince Chen had the urge to kill someone.

A bunch of trash.

What a precious concubine.

I underestimated her in the past.

From a little beauty, she suddenly became a royal concubine, and was on par with her mother.

Good skill.

What concubine poisoned her?

Most of them are self-directed and self-acted, which is a good method.

"Yang Zhen'er, no, Concubine Zhengui... How have you been treating Mother lately? Are you still respectful?"

Manager Fang: "As always, I will pay my respects to Concubine Chen every few days. In name only, she is a member of the Fang family. If we suffer together, we will suffer together. She shouldn't do anything bad to Concubine Chen."

"Fool, a kite with a broken string, how do you know where it will fly to? Is it a friend or foe? A chess piece that has lost its value should be discarded."

Prince Chen actually felt a little regretful.

I regret that I trusted Jin'er too much and gave her too much freedom.

This gave her the opportunity to bite back.

But Manager Fang had a different opinion. "Your Highness, Yang Zhen'er previously angered the Empress and made her sick. She also offended Prince Jing over the issue of taking a concubine. Now, she's at odds with Consort Shu and the Eighth Prince. The other princes are still young, and their mothers' families are weak. A childless Imperial Concubine is nothing to fear. She would eventually be sent to the Three Saints Temple. Why not try a different approach and cooperate with her?"

Prince Chen lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before asking, "What method?"

"Princess Zhengui probably doesn't want her family to live in the dark forever. Why not... become a family?"

Inside the palace.

Concubine Zhengui took a nap behind her room, looking at the disheveled maidservant below her.

"Tell me, where did Concubine Lan hide my parents and brothers?"

She hated being threatened.

Especially when someone threatens your family.

Fortunately, Ya'er is still alive, and King Chen has lost his bargaining chip to threaten her.

I don’t know whether I should thank Concubine Lan or hate her.

After all, it was because of that woman that she was held in someone's hands and was at the mercy of others.

In order to show her loyalty, Yaer no longer concealed the truth and told Concubine Zhengui directly, just asking for a place to stay.

"My Lady, I know where your family is. I ask nothing more than to be with you and serve you at my service."

Once she shows up, King Chen will not let her go.

Originally, Concubine Lan had intended to use the Yang family as a bargaining chip to restrain Prince Chen.

Unexpectedly, Prince Chen didn't even give Concubine Lan a chance to speak.

At this point, Concubine Lan is gone, but she has to live on and avenge Concubine Lan.

Concubine Lan died in such a tragic way.

I said a lot to her before I died.

Mrs. Lu plotted to harm her mother, and Minister Jiang betrayed her grandfather's family.

The most hateful one is King Chen.

Deceiving her, exploiting her, and plotting to murder her...
