Ji Yunzhou was puzzled and thought to himself, "Jing Huai, do you want to listen to what you are saying? The assets of your palace and the money I earn for you every year can support an army. I only want one thousand taels, which is clearly a friendship price. This matter is life-threatening."
Chen Jingxi was speechless. After rolling her eyes at him, she said, "Your Highness, I can use my own money."
"Every penny the princess spends now is earned by this prince."
Chen Jingxi was astonished. Didn't women in ancient times have dowries when they got married? Where was her dowry?
"Your Highness, you don't have a son yet. Are you saving so much money for your retirement? I'm really impressed. What's wrong with spending some on your wife?"
After hearing this, Chu Jinghuai's face turned red with anger, "You..."
"Forget it, I won't waste my breath on you, Master Ji, can you give me credit?"
Ji Yunzhou glanced at Chu Jinghuai and said hurriedly, "I don't want to do this business anymore. Goodbye."
"Hey, wait a minute, let's discuss it..." Looking at Ji Yunzhou who had already run away, Chen Jingxi glared at Chu Jinghuai.
Damn, this incident tells us that money must come first and men are unreliable.
Chu Jinghuai forced a smile on his face, "Princess."
"what?"
"Ahem, since no one is helping you, if you hire me, I might consider helping you."
"I don't have any money."
"I can buy on credit."
After hearing this, Chen Jingxi looked at him and asked, "Then, are you going to do it for five hundred taels?"
Chu Jing was angry and said, "Why is he worth one thousand taels, and I am only worth five hundred taels?"
"The market conditions are different, so the prices are naturally different."
Chu Jinghuai whispered, "Raise it a little, eight hundred taels."
"Four hundred taels."
"Six hundred taels."
"Three hundred taels."
"You!" Chu Jinghuai pointed at Chen Jingxi and said through gritted teeth, "Five hundred taels is five hundred taels."
Chen Jingxi sighed, "I told you five hundred taels earlier, but you insisted on being stubborn. You're wasting time. Let's go now."
Chu Jinghuai took a deep breath and followed.
The secret guards in the dark breathed a sigh of relief.
The two arrived at the foot of the imperial city. Chu Jinghuai seized the opportunity and jumped onto the city wall with her in his arms.
Chen Jingxi was still a little scared of flying so high suddenly. He hugged Chu Jinghuai tightly with both hands. He was now his own parachute.
Chu Jinghuai looked down at her and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Chen Jingxi rested her head on his chest, listening quietly to his heartbeat. She wanted to ask him for help at first, but she was afraid to ask him, afraid that she would become dependent on him, afraid that one day she would not be able to leave him.
Tangled! She is a twisted person.
She admitted that she had fallen in love with Chu Jinghuai. A man like Chu Jinghuai, who was domineering, strong, and occasionally gentle, could easily make people's hearts beat fast.
Oh! There's nothing I can do about it, she just falls for it.
But no matter how much she liked him, she would still have doubts. Chu Jinghuai was too good to her, or rather, he was too good to her suddenly. She always felt that something was wrong.
Maybe she was thinking too much, or maybe she was too suspicious.
While she was lost in thought, they had already arrived at Princess Yuzhen's palace.
Chu Jinghuai gently put her down. Princess Yuzhen in the room was still awake, and she could hear scolding coming from inside.
"That bitch Chen Jingxi actually let her come back safely. Why didn't she die outside?"
Chen Jingxi was speechless when she heard such painful words. Although she had no balls, these words made her very unhappy. She felt justified in taking revenge on her now.
"Princess, please calm down. Sister Suqiu has not been found yet, and I don't know where she is. I am a little worried. Could she have had an accident?"
After hearing this, Chu Yuzhen said coldly, "That slave girl, it's been several days and there's still no sign of her. Could it be that she betrayed me?"
"Princess... Sister Suqiu is the Queen's person, she won't betray you."
Chu Yuzhen snorted coldly, "Who can say for sure? She might have betrayed me a long time ago, and now she's running for her life, fearing her crime will be exposed. Everyone in this palace is a playboy, and you're not good people either."
When she said this, everyone was shocked and quickly knelt down to show their loyalty.
Chu Yuzhen just smiled coldly.
"How are you preparing for what I want you to do?"
"Princess, everything is ready. However, Princess Su Wangfei is..."
Chu Yuzhen suddenly scolded: "Enough, if it weren't for that woman, why would Mr. He ignore this princess?"
The maid paused and said, "Princess, if Prince Su knew, he might not believe it."
Chu Yuzhen laughed after hearing this and said loudly, "He doesn't believe it? Could it be that he still believes that his princess has been missing for a few days and is innocent? Even if he doesn't believe it, I have plenty of ways to make him believe it. Besides, everyone in the world believes it, so what does it matter whether he believes it or not?"
Upon hearing this, the maid immediately bent down and said respectfully, "Princess, you are truly extremely clever. Once this plan is implemented, Princess Su will surely be ruined and her reputation will be ruined. She will never be able to recover."
Chu Yuzhen smiled triumphantly. She stroked her nails gently, as if she had seen Chen Jingxi's miserable look.
She continued to say to the maid, "Tell them that Prince Su found his wife in the brothel."
Chen Jingxi felt like she had eaten a piece of shit at this moment. She originally thought that this was just a spoiled brat, not just a child, but a young version of a brat. She wanted to teach her a lesson and make sure she couldn't see anyone for several months.
I didn't expect that this man has such a bad heart. Women in this era must value reputation more than life. He wants her to die!
If this happened in modern times, the person who spread the obscene rumor would be put in jail and forced to work on a sewing machine.
