Chapter 136: Pay Back What You Owe Me, One Piece at a Time (Part 2)
Along the way, Pingxi Hou kept staring at Yun Zheng's carriage with his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He hesitated for a long time, then suddenly took the initiative to move forward and said, "Princess Jinyun, I have something to say."
The guards stopped him and wouldn't let him get any closer.
Yun Zheng lifted the carriage curtain, revealing a gorgeous face. "Let him come over."
Pingxi Hou walked over, but the guards kept staring at him with their hands on the hilts of the swords at their waists.
The Marquis of Pingxi didn't bother looking around. He lowered his voice and asked, "What did you just say about the red seal and iron certificate...?"
Yun Zheng's lips curled up slightly. Was he trying to trick her? He was getting anxious!
She smiled and said, "Tell me first, what is the secret of the Red Book and Iron Certificate?"
Pingxi Hou felt nervous. She really knew a lot of things. The Ninth Prince really treated her as his confidant and told her everything.
He feigned bewilderment, "What secret is there? Everyone knows that the Red Book and Iron Certificate was given to our Pingxi Marquisate by the founding emperor to protect our lives."
Yun Zheng watched him act out, a strange light flashing in her eyes. "Really? Then why are some people always eyeing the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion and going to great lengths to get in?"
It was like a thunderbolt crashing down on the head of Pingxi Hou. His face changed color when he heard the sound. "Who is it?"
Yun Zheng smiled sweetly, but every word she said was frightening.
"You really didn't doubt Ye Yizhen? She's the only daughter of the Prince of Zhennan and Princess Yong'an, a royal family. How could she have ended up among the common people so easily? And what a coincidence that she appeared in the Pingxi Marquis's mansion, which holds the imperial seal?"
Come on, dogs bite each other, it's fun to fight with a mouth full of fur.
"Ah, what a coincidence! The other red-lettered iron certificate happens to belong to the Zhennan Palace."
"What a coincidence, isn't it?"
The Marquis of Pingxi's pupils trembled violently, but his expression remained normal, and there was nothing unusual to be seen.
"You are prejudiced against Ye Yizhen. She is very simple."
This is an old fox who is very good at calculating. Even though the Pingxi Marquis Mansion is in decline now, there may still be a chance for it to turn around.
Moreover, Yun Zheng suspected that he had another trump card in his hand.
There must have been a special reason why the first Marquis of Pingxi was able to stand out among a group of nobles and obtain the red-lettered iron certificate.
"I've always wondered where all his loyal ministers and generals went after the Prince of Zhennan passed away. That palace has been guarded for a hundred years, and its heritage is incredibly profound. It's impossible for it to all vanish into thin air."
"Besides, it's said that the Prince of Zhennan died in an unclear manner, and those people also lost their good future. How can I not hate him?"
Pingxi Hou was secretly shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Is the Ninth Prince investigating? Has he found anything?"
Yun Zheng chuckled and said, "Even if there is a result, I won't tell you."
She was very careful and kept everything secret. The Marquis of Pingxi became increasingly anxious. She knew everything. What about the emperor?
"Ye Yizhen shouldn't have any problem. Otherwise, with her status, how could she be willing to serve as heir to two houses?"
Yun Zheng laughed heartily. "She has nothing to lose. The Pingxi Marquisate and Jiang Wenzhou have been at the forefront of everything. She can just sit back and reap the benefits."
Pingxi Hou suddenly looked up and his face changed drastically.
Yun Zheng seemed not to see it and continued giving orders with a smile.
"Come here, go to the Censorate and tell them that Princess Yong'an broke up the couple, and Young Master Jiang begged his wife to come home and be reunited. Let the Censors get to work."
The script has been written for them, come on and get started.
In their previous life, they were a loving couple. But in this life, without this big blood bag, can they still love each other without any doubt? Can the little devil still be born smoothly?
What kind of work? Impeachment? Looking at this woman who was only interested in causing chaos in the world, Pingxi Hou subconsciously took a few steps back, keeping his distance.
The Marquis's wife had been staring at them. As soon as Pingxi Marquis came back, she couldn't wait to ask, "Master, what did you say to that bitch?"
Pingxi Hou's face was as dark as water. "Have you ever felt that something was wrong with Ye Yizhen over the years?"
He never cared about what happened in the backyard. Ye Yizhen rarely appeared in front of him and only hung around the Marquis's wife, so he didn't pay much attention to her.
But now I suddenly realized that he might be blind to the truth.
Jiang Wenzhou on the opposite side suddenly looked up, "What do you mean?"
The Marquis's wife was stunned for a moment. "No, she is well-behaved, considerate, filial, and capable of everything. Except for her lack of money, she is quite good."
Now that she is the daughter of the eldest princess, Princess Yong'an is not short of money. Half of the century-old wealth of the Zhennan Palace belongs to her.
Princess Yong'an has only one daughter, Ye Yichen, so a hundred years later, the throne would naturally be passed on to her daughter.
Therefore, we must bind Ye Yichen and not let her run away.
Pingxi Hou frowned slightly, "She doesn't usually come into contact with outsiders?"
Madam Hou thought carefully, "She had no other hobbies except going to Huangjue Temple every month to burn incense and chant sutras to pray for her deceased parents."
Pingxi Hou's heart skipped a beat. "Every month? Are you sure you're burning incense?"
The Marquis's wife asked curiously, "Isn't it?"
Jiang Wenzhou on the side had a flickering look in his eyes and looked unhappy.
The Ye Mansion is located in a quiet area in the midst of a bustling city. The five-courtyard house looks inconspicuous, but it is extremely exquisite and luxurious inside.
Ye Yizhen was half lying on the couch, with a sad look on her face, her right leg wrapped in thick gauze, unable to move.
"Mom, this doctor is still useless. There is no effect at all."
Princess Yong'an has gathered many famous doctors these days and asked them to treat Ye Yizhen's legs and hands.
Ye Yizhen suffered a lot, but to little avail.
"We'll try one by one, and things will get better."
Ye Yizhen is very irritable and always says this, but it's useless.
"Is it really impossible to call a doctor?"
Princess Yong'an asked in return, "Do you dare to use the imperial physician's medicine?"
Ye Yizhen was silent. Yes, she didn't dare. The imperial physician obeyed the emperor's orders, and her legs were crushed by the emperor's guards.
“I don’t want to be disabled.”
Princess Yong'an soothed her softly, "I heard there's a magical medicine out there called White Jade Broken Bone. It can heal any broken bone, even bones that have been crushed into powder."
Ye Yizhen couldn't wait to ask, "Where's the medicine?"
"I've sent someone to look for him. I believe there will be good news soon."
Very fast? How fast could it be? Ye Yizhen frowned, and a figure flashed through her mind.
"Yun Zheng has a ghost doctor who has astonishing medical skills. He might be able to cure me. Mother, please find a way to get the ghost doctor to heal my leg."
Princess Yong'an got a terrible headache when she heard the name. "Yun Zheng? She's too difficult to deal with. She's rich and favored by the emperor, and she's hostile to us. It's very difficult."
Ye Yizhen's mind raced, her eyes filled with sinister emotion. "Everyone has weaknesses, and her biggest weakness is..."
At this moment, a servant came running in, "Princess, the Marquis of Pingxi wishes to see you."
Princess Yong'an snorted coldly, "No."
The servant left in a hurry and returned in a hurry.
"Oh no! Second Young Master Jiang is kneeling at the gate, begging the Princess to let his wife go home and reunite with him."
Ye Yizhen's expression was complicated. Princess Yong'an frowned, "This bastard is becoming more and more shameless. Send him away."
The servant reported cautiously, "The Left Censor-in-Chief and his men have arrived and are guarding the door. There are also many passersby watching..."
Ye Yizhen and her daughter changed color when they heard the voice. Oh no!
