Chapter 562: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 9
"I'll go with you!" Ji Yunhuan's attitude was firm.
In her previous life, she learned that there was a hidden story behind the death of her father and brother, and she immediately sought help from King Rui. She felt that with King Rui's connections and influence, he would be able to find out the truth quickly.
But until she died in Prince Rui's Mansion, she still didn't know who killed her father and brother.
Now she no longer believes King Rui and she wants to investigate it herself.
Wu Jie laughed, "Then you have to practice hard. If you can last ten moves under my hands, uncle will take you, otherwise there is no room for negotiation."
Ji Yunhuan began to study hard day and night, while Yueying was busy packing the young lady's dowry. Although a lot of the dowry had been taken away by King Rui, there was still more left.
Ji Yunhuan had already figured out the situation in Prince Rui's mansion and was just waiting for the day when Prince Rui got married. The mansion was bustling with activity, so it was a good time for her to leave.
The end of the month is here in the blink of an eye.
The Prince Rui's Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and gongs and drums were played, but the Pear Blossom Garden was deserted and no one was interested.
Prince Rui was dressed in red, riding a tall horse, surrounded by many young talents and a large number of guards and followers. He went out of the palace to welcome the bride in a grand manner.
Ji Yunhuan calculated the time accurately. She screamed in the house, and the guards in the yard were alarmed and came in to check immediately.
With a bang, Ji Yunhuan knocked down one of the guards. The other guard was startled and was about to call for help when Uncle Wu jumped down from the beam and knocked him unconscious with a palm.
The two guards were slow to leave, so a few more guards came in to check the situation and were easily knocked down.
The guards finally realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. The secret guards were like ghosts and had already secretly eliminated the people guarding around the courtyard wall.
Wu Jie rushed out with Ji Yunhuan and Yueying and successfully reached the gate. All the guards in the yard were taken down without exception to prevent them from going out and informing others.
Wu Jie blew a whistle, and the secret guards drove over with a carriage and quickly loaded Ji Yunhuan's dowry onto it.
Part of the dowry was kept in the storeroom of Prince Rui's mansion, and the secret guards had already moved it out and packed it up in advance.
The secret guard drove the carriage and went out along an inconspicuous path. Most of the servants in the mansion went to the front hall to help entertain the guests, so they hardly met anyone along the way.
"Go to Yu Wenrui's study. There are some of my things in there. Take them all away."
Yu Wenrui's study was heavily guarded, and forcing your way in would definitely cause a lot of noise.
Ji Yunhuan had been practicing for some time, and he immediately used his Qinggong skills to quickly step onto the roof.
Wu Jie praised him and asked the others to stay where they were while he chased after them to protect Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Yunhuan pushed aside the tiles and jumped into the study. Prince Rui prided himself on being elegant, and his study was filled with famous paintings and calligraphy, and the antique shelves were filled with antique collections, some of which seemed to have been moved from the Duke's Mansion.
Ji Yunhuan looked around and soon found a secret compartment.
"Found it! There are also these calligraphy and paintings, and this coral ornament. Take them away together. Don't let King Rui get away with it."
Uncle Wu did as he was told, and the two of them soon reunited with the main force and arrived at a corner gate of Prince Rui's palace.
The gatekeeper had received a favor from Ji Yunhuan, so he didn't bother to knock the people out and just opened the door and let them out.
More than a dozen maids and nannies were already waiting at the door. They looked haggard, and some were even pale and thin from hunger. When they saw Ji Yunhuan, they all wiped their tears and cried loudly.
"I thought I would never see the young lady again! I really didn't buy that damn love potion. I have never seen the dirty stuff in the brothel. I just asked someone to buy a bag of jasmine powder and brought it in. I am really wronged!"
Ji Yunhuan stepped forward to help Madam Du up and said softly, "Madam, please stand up. I naturally believe you."
Madam Du cried even harder, and a young maid next to her started crying too. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked for jasmine powder. We didn't do anything bad, but Prince Rui insisted that we were secretly scheming and drugging that Su guy."
"Prince Rui also said that we led the young lady astray, so he sent us all away. Sister Yueying is the only one left in Lihua Garden. How miserable must the young lady's life be."
Ji Yunhuan looked at these familiar faces, fortunately they were all fine.
Prince Rui insisted that she had drugged Su Ziyan, but he did not punish her. Instead, he sent away all the people close to her. Some of them were placed in the mansion to do rough work, and some were sent to the farm to do hard labor. She asked the secret guards to bring them all back.
"Okay, now is not the time to cry, everyone get in the car and let's go home together."
When Nanny Du saw the luggage in the large and small carts, she understood that the young lady was going back to the Duke's Mansion.
She immediately asked everyone to get in the carriage together. The secret guards had already hidden themselves again and would not show up unless it was necessary.
Only Uncle Wu disguised himself as a coachman and accompanied Ji Yunhuan all the way.
After exiting the corner gate and going around the high wall of Prince Rui's Palace, they would occasionally see patrolling guards passing by the outer wall, but they were quickly dealt with by the secret guards, so they walked very smoothly.
The group soon arrived at Hongfu Street, which was the only way out of Prince Rui's Mansion. The street was bustling with people, and the convoy blended in with the crowd and was not very conspicuous.
There was a sudden commotion among the crowd, and then they automatically separated into two rows and stood aside. The royal guard led the way in front, with music and singing, and it was very lively.
"It's His Royal Highness Prince Rui! No wonder there is such a grand ceremony!"
"Today is a good day for His Royal Highness Prince Rui to get married. Princess Rui is the best female general of the dynasty and has made great military achievements. The two of them are in love with each other. His Majesty granted the marriage in court, which has become a good story."
"No, I remember that King Rui has already married a princess. I think she was the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. I remember her wedding dress clearly."
"I heard she was a sickly girl, maybe she died a long time ago. Can you still let a prince keep her virginity for her? He must marry again."
"I didn't see the funeral. When did he die?"
"Why are you so stubborn? It's unlucky to die of illness, and you didn't have any offspring for the royal family, so it's normal to bury you hastily... What are you standing there for? The wedding money has started to be distributed, hurry up and grab the money!"
Most of the people were immersed in the joy of Prince Rui's wedding. After all, there was money to be made, so who cared?
Occasionally, a few people lamented that the Duke had no successor and his only surviving daughter had died, but they would just sigh a few words.
Ji Yunhuan didn't expect to run into the wedding procession. When they married her three years ago, it wasn't so fast. She quickly pulled the carriage to the side.
The convoy behind also moved to the side of the road, and the huge crowd was particularly eye-catching.
Walking in the front was Jingzhong, who suddenly saw so many carriages and horses, and they were all loaded with gifts, even more than the betrothal gifts for Prince Rui's marriage. However, it did not look like a wedding, and the people driving the carriages were all women and children, which seemed to be wrong.
"Stop in front! Who are you? Where did these things come from? You didn't steal them!"
