After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

"Old Princess, stop talking, stop talking, the doctor will be here soon." Mother Qin was so anxious that she burst into tears.

After the old princess's grief and indignation, she laughed in despair: "Thinking about how glorious my Pingyang Palace was in the past, my children and grandchildren have ended up like this. Fu Yunjing left the family for an actor, and Yao'er fell into the fire pit and was killed by the Ji family. How can I face their grandfather, how can I face my ancestors..."

At the end of her speech, the old princess' breath suddenly stagnated, and then she fell silent.

Mother Qin paused, and then saw the old princess' arm suddenly slip down.

There was a sudden burst of crying in the room.

Gu Zhiyin felt her throat was swollen and she couldn't speak, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in her throat and she couldn't breathe...

She suddenly opened her eyes. There was a bright candlelight in the room and night had fallen outside the window.

Gu Zhiyin sat up slowly, feeling her eyes were sore and uncomfortable. She wiped them with her hand and found tear marks at the corners of her eyes.

Is this... another dream about things from my past life?

Because I married into the Pingyang Palace in this life, I dreamed about the endings of the people in the palace.

In her previous life, she only heard that her grandmother was angered to death by Fu Yunjing. Now it seems that in addition to Fu Yunjing, the tragic death of Fu Yunyao was also a great blow to her grandmother.

If what happened in the dream was true, then Ji Yuanwen did not want to take Pei Shuyan as a concubine, but to marry her.

As Gu Zhiyin thought about it, his eyes gradually became cold, with a hint of sharpness flickering in them.

What a great family the Xing'an Marquisate is. In order to give Pei Shuyan the position of legal wife, they actually murdered the eldest sister.

If they had left their eldest sister in the Xing'an Marquis Mansion and not taken her back in this life, perhaps her eldest sister would have suffered the same fate as in her previous life.

The cold was just the fuse. If the eldest sister agreed to let Pei Shuyan marry into the family, then everyone would be happy. The Ji family would not only have the Pingyang Palace as a relative, but also Pei Shuyan's huge dowry.

But the eldest sister disagreed, and the Ji family did not dare to divorce her, so they came up with this vicious trick. They poisoned the eldest sister, and then married Pei Shuyan in the name of getting married. After the eldest sister died, she would be the legitimate wife.

They were naive and thought that Wei was so nice to Pei Shuyan just to make her a concubine.

The power behind the Pei family cannot be underestimated as it can make the Xing'an Marquisate give up the princess' daughter-in-law.

No matter what, since she has married into the Prince of Pingyang's Mansion in this life, she cannot just watch the Fu family get into trouble.

The moonlight is clear, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the cicadas and frogs are chirping one after another.

Several men in black suddenly broke into the ruined temple outside the city. A middle-aged man was leaning against the wall to rest. When he heard the noise and opened his eyes, he saw several men holding knives and slashing at him.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he ran away crawling with his bag.

Before I even walked out of the yard, I suddenly felt a chill on the back of my head and I turned my head away in fear.

At this moment, another person attacked him from the side, and the sharp long knife cut his arm, causing him to fall to the ground in pain.

The man was terrified. He looked at the man in black who was blocking his way and backed away while trembling and begging for mercy:

"Please spare my life, please spare my life. I have silver and I will give it to you. Please let me live."

"Someone is paying to buy your life, who cares about your money?" The man in black snorted coldly.

The man's pale face was stunned for a moment. Someone wanted to kill him?

"Who...who sent you?"

"If you want to know, go to the underworld and ask the King of Hell." said another man in black, holding a knife.

Suddenly, the man seemed to have thought of something and shouted, "It's the Xing'an Marquis Mansion, right?"

The man in black was slightly startled.

It was obvious that he had guessed correctly. The man felt a surge of anger in his chest and shouted angrily: "I promised not to tell anyone and I will keep my mouth shut. I have already left the capital, why don't you let me go?"

"Hmph, only the dead won't tell anyone. Prepare to die." The man in black said as he slashed at the man with his knife.

The man was so frightened that he became incontinent and felt like he was on the verge of death. At this moment, a stick flew from the side and deflected the knife that was about to hit the man's neck.

With a clang, the knife fell to the ground.

"Who is it?" the man in black growled and turned his head to look.

I don't know when a row of guards stood outside, the sharp swords in their hands were shining with a dark blue cold light, and the leader shouted: "I am from the Pingyang Palace. If you don't want to die, get out of here."

The men in black looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then ran away decisively.

The man survived the ordeal and ran towards the guards, "Help! Help me! Help me!"

"Are you Guan Zhitang's doctor, Mao Yongchang?" asked the leading guard.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am." Mao Yongchang nodded repeatedly.

"Take the man away." said the guard, and two people immediately came forward from behind him, one on the left and one on the right, holding Mao Yongchang's arms and getting on a carriage.

Mao Yongchang did not struggle and just followed the man obediently.

The people from Prince Pingyang's Mansion must be looking for him because of the princess. If he goes there, he may not end up well, but it is better than staying here and waiting for the people from Marquis Xing'an's Mansion to come and kill him.

Humph, if the Ji family doesn’t behave like human beings, don’t blame him for turning against them.

"Brother Qing, everyone has left, let's go back too." A man's voice came from behind the ruined temple, and then a group of men in black walked out from the darkness.

Everyone took off their masks, and the one standing in the front was Qingcheng.

The young man who spoke was Dongyang, a servant from the farm where Gu Zhiyin came as a dowry.

This was a play that Gu Zhiyin ordered them to perform. Qing Cheng brought Kao Pu's servants to follow Mao Yongchang and pretend that people from Xing'an Marquis' Mansion were chasing him. No matter whether Mao Yongchang could guess it or not, Qing Cheng would guide him to think about Xing'an Marquis' Mansion, and then at the critical moment, the guards from Pingyang Prince's Mansion appeared and rescued Mao Yongchang.

"Yes." Qing Cheng nodded, looked at everyone and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work today. We don't need to get involved in the rest. Let's go, I'll buy you a drink."

Everyone responded to the call.

"it is good."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. The Princess has given us orders, and we servants should obey them."

"Let's go and have a drink."

The guards brought Mao Yongchang back to the Prince of Pingyang's Palace, and Mother Hu interrogated him overnight. Accompanying them were Mother Qin who was beside the old princess, and Mother Luo who was beside Wen.

"Has the Xing'an Marquis' Mansion always asked you to see a doctor?" asked Mother Hu.

Mao Yongchang nodded: "Yes, I am the doctor usually employed by the Marquis' Mansion."

Mother Hu: "The princess has been ill for so long, and you have been the one who took care of her?"

"It's a villain."

"So it was you who poisoned the princess?" Mother Qin glared at him and said angrily, "It is a serious crime to murder the princess. All nine clans should be executed."

Mao Yongchang was so frightened that he burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly: "It's none of my business. I was just following other people's orders. Please forgive me. The wife of the Marquis of Xing'an threatened me with my family. I have no other choice. Please show mercy, my lady. Please spare my life."
