The man fell to the ground with a thump, and lay there like a puddle of mud, motionless for a long time. After a long while, he started to breathe heavily, and then struggled to support himself. He climbed up from the cold ground and knelt in front of Zhong Mingzheng again. When he spoke again, he was already crying.
"Your Highness, please understand! You must have heard about the methods used by the Royal Guards to deal with traitors. If I were to become your disciple today, I would be killed without a burial place if discovered by the Royal Guards in the future! Please have mercy on me, Your Highness!" The middle-aged man wailed and kowtowed to Zhong Mingzheng.
"But didn't the Jinyiwei deal with you?" Zhong Mingzheng looked at the man with a bloody forehead. He picked up the teacup and slowly covered the lid, saying, "Of course I know the methods of the Jinyiwei. But no matter how powerful they are, what can they do to a dead person? Don't you think so?"
"Your Highness, what do you mean..." The middle-aged man suddenly stopped and looked up at Zhong Mingzheng. He didn't even bother to wipe the glaring blood off his face, and he said anxiously. "I am stupid, please explain clearly, Your Highness!"
This was none other than Jiang Jinwan. Because something happened to the Eight Tigers of the Jiang Family in Ningguta, which implicated the entire Jinyiwei, Dai Jingfeng's legs were almost broken kneeling in front of the Imperial Study. Naturally, he had to take action after returning. Even though Jiang Jinwan was his trusted subordinate, he had to be killed. The Imperial Guards were watching eagerly, so that night, Dai Jingfeng ordered someone to execute Jiang Jinwan, but Jiang Jinwan did not die. He obviously drank the poisoned wine, but when he woke up, he was in Prince Rong's mansion, and then he was locked up in this small courtyard without seeing the sun for two months. During this period, Zhong Mingzheng's confidants came to lobby him several times. He was afraid of the Jinyiwei in his heart, so he didn't dare to let go, but he didn't expect that Zhong Mingzheng would condescend to see him today.
"Listen carefully, there is only one way to survive," Zhong Mingzheng looked down at Jiang Jinwan, and then said slowly, "That night, I found a man who looked 90% like you, and used him as a substitute to save your life. After that night, there was no such person as Jiang Jinwan in the world, but you are living well in this palace." Zhong Mingzheng stopped here, leaned down, looked into Jiang Jinwan's anxious eyes, and said slowly, "Now your life belongs to me, naturally I can let you die or let you live, I can make you live a life worse than death, or let you live a life of glory, it depends on which you choose."
"Your Majesty's kindness to me is as high as the sky and as deep as the sea! I really have no way to repay you. I will work like a slave for the rest of my life and follow Your Majesty until death!" The next second, Jiang Jinwan kowtowed again, but his voice was more surprised and excited than before. He had been worried for two months and had not been able to eat or sleep well. Now, when he knew that his life was finally saved, how could Jiang Jinwan not be excited?
"You know what's good for you and what's not. That's great." Zhong Mingzheng was obviously very satisfied with Jiang Jinwan's reaction. He nodded and said to the outside, "Come in."
"Yes, I obey your command!"
As soon as Zhong Mingzheng finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and four maids came in. They were all very pretty and graceful, carrying food, clothes and other things in their hands. They walked into the room with graceful steps and bowed to Zhong Mingzheng: "This servant greets the prince."
"From now on, he is your master. If you serve him well, you will have good things for him," Zhong Mingzheng pointed at Jiang Jinwan and said to the four maids. He then looked at Jiang Jinwan and said with a smile, "I'm sure these two months have been very difficult. You should enjoy yourself for the next two days and come back when I summon you in a few days."
“Yes, I obey your command!” Jiang Jinwan was busy knelt down to express his gratitude. Seeing Zhong Mingzheng getting up to leave, he knelt down to see him off and couldn’t help but glance at the four graceful maids in the room. Indeed, the past two months were really hard, especially for a veteran in the entertainment industry like him. These four maids were really good. They looked good and had good figures. After all, they were serving in the palace. How could the fallen girls outside compare to them…
Zhong Mingzheng looked at his hungry appearance, pursed his lips sarcastically, and then strode out of the room.
