“I can send you to Cangzhou. It’s a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains. Even if you only have four years to live, you can still be very happy there…” Ji Fengyao hadn’t finished speaking.
Zhaoping, lying on the ground, suddenly raised her pale face. Her expression was more resolute than ever before, and her eyes were filled with endless hatred: "Princess Chonghe, do you and the Prince know how to deal with the Empress Dowager? Can you take me with you? I know where the other half of her treasury is!"
"Really?" Ji Fengyao's eyes lit up instantly. She squatted down in front of Zhaoping, waving her little fists and said, "I think the way to deal with an old hag like the Empress Dowager is to wipe out her fortune, ruin her reputation, and then slowly crush her to death. That would be the only way to do justice to those she killed innocently, and that would be satisfying. You know, her secret stash of money is amazing! Our first step, 'wiping out her fortune,' is already halfway to success!"
Ji Fengyao didn't care at all about worldly possessions like gold and silver jewelry;
She said that just to make Zhaoping happier.
really.
Upon hearing the little bandit's words, Zhaoping immediately felt his importance. His pale face lit up, and a glimmer of life returned to his sorrowful eyes: "It would be wonderful if I could help you and the Prince! Princess Chonghe, thank you for disregarding past grievances and taking me to seek revenge. I will repay you in my next life by serving you like a cow or a horse!"
"Oh, no need to thank me. The prince and I should thank you for leading the way." Ji Fengyao, with a greedy look on her face, pulled Zhaoping up from the ground and said, "I've tied up all of the Empress Dowager's lackeys for you. They're in the secret room in the side courtyard. Let's freshen up and go take some revenge. What do you think?"
"Thank you, Chonghe... Thank you, sister." Zhaoping's eyes reddened, and she suddenly stopped, changing her words as she was about to kneel down: "It's all my fault for being unlucky, for not understanding sooner, for not knowing the good intentions you have for me, sister. I'm sorry, sister, I'm so sorry..."
"Hey, here you go again. When are you going to get rid of this crying habit? I just calmed you down less than ten seconds ago," Ji Fengyao quickly supported her, her head throbbing.
Princess Zhaoping quickly suppressed her sobs, trying her best to smile through her tears: "I'll change, I'll change right now, please don't be angry, sister."
Seeing her pitiful, timid appearance, Ji Fengyao sighed.
She's such a simple crybaby, she'll go along with whoever she wants to be with.
Unfortunately, she was born...
He encountered the ruthless Empress Dowager, and his life was wasted.
Ji Fengyao instructed Bailu to select two quick-witted maids from the inner courtyard of Huinuan Pavilion to temporarily serve Princess Zhaoping in the west wing while she washed and dressed.
Four maids and old women were also selected from the outer courtyard to serve Zhaoping.
Xique was very puzzled and asked, "Miss, Princess Zhaoping used to cause you a lot of trouble in order to compete with you for your husband. She is not a likable person, and she is a fake princess. She has done no favors for your husband. Why do you still treat her so well? You even specially transferred the maids and servants from our own courtyard to her, and treated her like a real princess?"
Ji Fengyao held Xique's hand and said softly, "The Sun family is completely wiped out. If we really talk about it, there is no way to repay the Prince's kindness. But she lives in this world with the name Sun Mengxi, so people will think that she is Sun Mengxi. People have the power of will, and the truth based on will is also the truth."
This is the origin of the saying "public opinion can melt metal".
Therefore, the prince repaying the debt of gratitude he could never repay by doing so through her is also acknowledging Heaven's will. Furthermore, if one's heart is to be virtuous, how can one be so petty and calculating?
