Chapter 935: The Prince of the Duke's Mansion vs. the Black Lotus Daughter 77
While the case of treason was still under trial, the Yongxing Village dam breach case was quickly concluded.
The Crown Prince personally went to the Ministry of Justice to file a complaint, bringing with him a few civilians who had survived the year and a sixth-rank official who had been tied up like a dumpling. The Ministry of Justice did not dare to be negligent and sentenced the two masterminds to death.
Yun Ye went to the palace again to beg His Majesty that he could be executed without having to wait until the autumn of next year, and could be torn into pieces by five horses.
On the day Ji Changmao died, Ji Yunhuan went to Gaota Temple to burn incense.
She performed a ritual in Gaota Temple for her mother, the Bai family, and the dead souls of Yongxing Village.
She thought that after today, they would surely be able to rest in peace.
It was late at night, and the dark and dirty prison cells were packed with people. The case of treason involved too many people, and those who escaped were constantly caught back in, so the cells were almost full.
All the members of the Zhao family were crowded in one cell, and the stench was terrible. How much they had flattered Zhao Wenyuan in the past, how much they hated him now. Zhao Wenyuan slept in the place closest to the toilet, ate the leftovers at the bottom of the bowl, and was verbally abused and beaten by his clansmen. His life was simply worse than death.
Ji Shiting was huddled together with other women from other families. Her father was dead, and her husband was the main culprit in the rebellion. It was said that Ji Shiting had also offended the Crown Princess, so no one would protect her. Although everyone was a prisoner, there were differences in the severity of their crimes. Ji Shiting was at the bottom of the contempt chain and was the target of bullying by everyone.
Ji Shiting was lying on the door frame, and a stone hit Zhao Wenyuan on the head, making her curse in anger!
"You are my fault for putting me in this situation! I told you that the crown prince would ascend the throne, why didn't you listen to me? Why did you join the Eighth Prince? You are a waste! A fool!"
"I have been reborn as the chosen one by God. I shouldn't be living like this. It's all because of you being useless! You are a hopeless case! In your last life, you were the Minister of the Chancellery, so why did you become a prisoner in this life? Tell me! Why is this happening? I'll beat you to death, hahahaha..."
Zhao Wenyuan was also filled with anger. The stone hit his body and it hurt so much that he threw it back, cursing, "You vicious woman! If you hadn't offended the Crown Prince's Consort, would we have ended up like this?"
"You're like a hysterical person, dreaming about becoming a royal consort all day long. It's useless for me to marry you. The Ji family won't promote me, and the Xu family is useless too. Of course I have to find a way out on my own!"
Someone disliked Ji Shiting's noise and came over to pinch her mouth. Ji Shiting yelled like crazy, "How dare you! I'm the Crown Prince's Consort, hahahaha... I'm the Crown Prince's Consort! I should have married Yun Ye, Yun Ye is not dead, he is alive, and he has been promoted. I don't have to be a widow anymore, I am the honorable Crown Prince's Consort, haha..."
"Someone come! I want to see the prince! I am the prince's consort. Ji Yunhuan stole my marriage. I am willing to serve the prince. I am the one who is most compatible with the prince..."
Ji Shiting was acting crazy and mad. Several women in the cell were unable to hold her down. The noise she made finally woke up the prison boss.
The jailer came over with a stick and beat the troublemaker all over the head, cursing, "You're still quiet after entering the cell! What are you making such a fuss about? Why don't you take a piss and look at your own moral character? How dare you covet the prince! I think you've lost your mind. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue!"
Ji Shiting was hit several times, her face was swollen, and she slowly fell down against the cell door, with blood all over the floor.
The prison boss cursed and kicked Ji Shiting, then turned around and beat Zhao Wenyuan across the street!
"You two are the most noisy! You are also useless. You can't even control your own woman! If you keep making noise, watch out for your head!"
Zhao Wenyuan shrank his head and howled in pain. Finally, the jailer vented his anger and left. He curled up next to the toilet, his nose full of fishy smells and his ears filled with the sounds of snoring and grinding teeth. He didn't know how much time had passed before he seemed to be back in a world of flowers.
He was promoted to the position of Shangshu Ling, the new emperor held a banquet, all officials congratulated him, and he was surrounded by compliments and glory!
Ji Yunhuan smiled gently and generously. Concubine Qin from the palace also came to congratulate her and had a very pleasant chat with Ji Yunhuan.
He suddenly remembered that the person he married was Ji Yunhuan. Not only was his wife outstanding in appearance, she was also good friends with Qin Liangyuan from the Prince's Mansion. She helped him to become a disciple of the Prince.
The prince certainly had no shortage of a loyal minor official, so his lady made plans for him, asking him to find another way out and become a hidden chess piece placed by the prince next to the eighth prince. In fact, he was more optimistic about the eighth prince, but having an extra way out was also good.
So he took refuge with the Eighth Prince while secretly communicating with his wife and the Crown Prince's concubine to show his loyalty to the Crown Prince.
He thrived in the Secretariat. On the night when the Eighth Prince started the rebellion, the palace was in chaos and the Emperor was seriously injured. The Duke mistakenly believed that the Crown Prince was plotting a rebellion and sided with the Eighth Prince. The Crown Prince fled in panic and someone outside the palace was there to pick him up. So he did the Crown Prince a favor and opened the door in the southeast corner for him.
The next day, the eighth prince killed the emperor, forged the emperor's will, and hastily ascended the throne. The prince, as expected of a prince, soon made a comeback. The two sides fought in the palace. The prince was more skilled and restored order. Most of the officials in the court supported the prince.
And he was the most crucial link in overthrowing the Eighth Prince. If the Crown Prince wanted to gain fame, he had to prove that the Eighth Prince was plotting treason. He witnessed the Eighth Prince forging a will and killing his father to seize the throne. The Eighth Prince became infamous and died a worthy death.
Duke Yun died, and the Duke's Mansion was stripped of its title and ceased to exist.
The prince ascended the throne smoothly. The Shangshu Ling was a stubborn old man who always put on airs and opposed the prince. The prince was at the time when he could show his talents and did not want to be constrained by others, so he demoted the Shangshu Ling to be an official in Longzhou. The prince still had a crush on this man and this time he just wanted to temper his temper.
Zhao Wenyuan had gained the prince's appreciation by taking advantage of opportunities and being obedient to the prince. So the prince placed him in this position to facilitate the implementation of the new policy.
No matter what the real story was, he was a favorite of the prince and was highly appreciated. He and Ji Yunhuan were in perfect harmony and their love became a legend. Although he occasionally wandered around with other women, there was only Ji Yunhuan in his mansion. Everyone in the capital city envied Ji Yunhuan, who married a good husband and rose to fame overnight!
"Get up! You're sleeping like a dead pig! Move over! It's time to put away the toilet! Eat and sleep, sleep and poop, vomit... Hurry up and move the toilet out and empty it!"
Zhao Wenyuan was kicked and suddenly woke up from his dream. It was all just a dream, and he remembered his past and present life. Tears flowed from his eyes. He should have lived a good life as a high-ranking official, so how did he end up in such a situation now?
Zhao Wenyuan was handcuffed and shackled, and was brought out with a toilet bucket under the supervision of the jailer. He ran over with the toilet bucket like a madman and poured the full bucket of filth on Ji Shiting!
He punched and kicked Ji Shiting through the fence, "Bitch! It's all your fault! You seduced me! I shouldn't have married you. The person I should have married is Ji Yunhuan!"
The women in the prison screamed and moved away from Ji Shiting. A light flashed in Ji Shiting's eyes. She strangled Zhao Wenyuan's neck tightly through the bars. The bones creaked as if they were about to break!
"Stop! Ji, are you crazy? How dare you kill your husband? You are really crazy! Hurry up and save him!"
The jailers took great effort to rescue Zhao Wenyuan. Zhao Wenyuan had already fainted, but fortunately he was still alive. As long as he was alive, the jailers didn't bother to care.
"You are quite strong, woman. If you strangle him and make him faint, you will be the one to empty all the toilets!"
Ji Shiting smelled bad, but she suppressed her anger. She shook her wrist and said, "Okay, then let me out."
