Chapter 159 Knowing Who Poisoned Him
[The reason is that when the Crown Prince went to investigate the case, he inadvertently saved a woman. That woman was a concubine that Ning Yuda had forcibly taken from someone else's wife. Not only did he save her, he also ruined her family's property. Then, with the help of a friend, he was seen coming and going from our house.]
[He thought it was our cousin. Aren't there scholars going to the capital for the imperial examinations these days? He went with the crowd, and accidentally found out about our family. He secretly sent a maid in; he wants to ruin our family.]
Did he drug me too?
[It wasn't him. There's still no information about who drugged you; we don't know who it is.]
[Let me continue with the story of the Crown Prince being poisoned. Now that person has no money and can't afford a restaurant, he's staying at a temple in the southern part of the city. I reckon he won't be celebrating the New Year; he'll just die.]
Did he use his last bit of money to take revenge on his superiors?
Yes, that's right. Anyway, he has no money now, and unless someone saves him, he won't live for more than a few days.
[Seriously, is revenge really that important? Besides, he's not exactly a good person. If he were, he wouldn't have forcibly taken a woman to be his concubine.]
No, he was instigated. They said they'd cover for him if he just wanted revenge, and he believed them and did it.
Who instigated this?
[Currently referred to as "that man," but his specific identity is unknown.]
This is starting to resemble a storyline.
[I was a little surprised too, but it's actually pretty good. I never thought I could get this much gossip before.]
"I know, I know." Ji Yingying sighed, and Apple brought in the water.
"Miss, it's time to get up. You don't have to attend court today, but you can't stay in bed like this."
"It's too cold, I don't want to move."
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with getting up.
"Miss, shall we go to the Princess's residence?" Granny Xia took out the clothes so she could change when she got up.
"The Princess's Residence?"
"Yes, your princess residence is almost finished with renovations. We're just waiting for the Ministry of Revenue to set a date so we can move in."
Ji Yingying blinked; she really didn't know about this.
"In that case, I'll go take a look."
Ji Yingying got up to change her clothes. After washing up, she took out two steamed buns from her spatial storage and ate them as she walked away. She would stay there and wait for the Emperor to finish work, as he would definitely call her to handle official business.
After leaving the palace, we went directly to the princess's residence, which was indeed still under renovation. It was very large and very beautiful.
After taking a stroll around, Ji Yingying felt that this place could be turned into a tourist attraction and could probably make a fortune.
That just won't work!
"Let's go check out the restaurant." She hadn't been to the restaurant since Mu Kaiji left.
As soon as she entered the restaurant, Fu Yunjie came out to greet her.
"What brings you here, sir?"
"Come and take a look. Let's go to the private room. I'm having dinner there."
"Okay." Fu Yunjie led her to the private room, had the waiter serve the dishes, and went to get the account book.
"Master, take a look at the ledgers. These are all the income and expenses over a period of time."
Ji Yingying gestured for him to put down and sit down to eat with her, but Fu Yunjie immediately refused. He had things to do and didn't join in.
[Host, two waiters at the restaurant are harboring disloyal intentions. Do you think we should remove them?]
What? Newly hired?
"That's right." Ji Yingying lifted the curtain and saw the lobby below.
[Both of them have their own agendas. One wants to learn their skills, and the other wants to eliminate Fu Yunjie and take over. Oh, this guy is quite capable.]
Is this the kind of destruction I'm thinking of?
Yes, yes, it's the one that can put someone in jail.
Ji Yingying nodded and understood. Xia Mama and Apple, who were sitting down to eat with her, both lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Ji Yingying, and ate their food obediently.
Apple is even more... not surprising at all.
After the meal, Fu Yunjie came over, and Ji Yingying pulled back the curtain and pointed to the two people below: "These two are fired, no need to keep them, give them an extra month's wages."
[The host is so kind.]
[It's alright, after all, no damage or loss has been caused so far.]
No, no, no, the woman who poisoned you is still in her house.
Who is it?
[You can arrest his wife; there's another connection behind her.]
"What?! I'll have someone arrest him right away!" Ji Yingying was furious. She hadn't expected to suffer any loss or harm, but she never imagined they would uncover such a serious matter.
"Rong Er"
Rong Er rushed out; he knew what to do next without her having to tell him.
“Go to his house, arrest his woman, no, arrest her and bring her to the palace for the Emperor, and say that she drugged me.”
"yes"
As soon as Rong Er left, Fu Yunjie asked with a grin, "Master, is there some serious problem with these two?"
You should give people a reason for firing them. If you fire them without a reason, what if they turn around and do something to you later?
"The one who wanted to kill you and take your place, and the other one who was protecting the murderer."
I never miss out on the fragrant melons.
"The drug that killed you is in his room. Search it directly and throw him out."
[Host, if you don't nip it in the bud, it will grow back in the spring!]
No, no, I just read his storyline, and I estimate he'll be wiped out soon.
"As for the other one, ignore him. Someone will deal with him later."
After checking the accounts and inquiring about the scenic area's plans, Ji Yingying returned home.
Upon returning to the mansion, he was informed that the Emperor and the Crown Prince had arrived.
"Why is Old Deng here?"
Despite saying that, Ji Yingying still went to see the Emperor.
"Greetings, Your Majesty and Crown Prince."
"No need for formalities, Yingying. The person who poisoned the Seventh Prince has been caught, but he won't live much longer."
I know~
"Also, the culprit who poisoned you has been caught. It was a woman named Liang Jing who poisoned you. She is from a collateral branch of the Liang family and married into the Jiangnan region. Not long after the news of the Liang family spread, they went to the capital and then attacked you."
"Why did they attack me?" Ji Yingying didn't understand. The Liang family had been dead for half a year, so why were there new people?
"I asked, and she said that the Liang family's troubles were because of you, but she didn't say what exactly happened."
[Fine, fine... With this method of seeking revenge, the whole world must be her enemy, right?]
"And now?"
"They're arresting people outside. I'm asking you, what do you plan to do with that woman?"
"Do whatever you want with me, it's none of my business." She only found out about the poisoning after the fact, and even if someone had poisoned her, they couldn't have harmed her.
Don't forget, she knows medicine. Not only does she know medicine, she also has Xiangxiang. With these two great helpers, no one dares to mess with her in these two areas.
"Alright, then I'll take care of it."
The Crown Prince thanked Ji Yingying again and gave her many gifts. Finally, the Emperor said, "Yingying, the seventh prince is also a good child. Do you think we should have him taken another look?"
