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

Maybe it was because Mother Hu’s resentment was too strong, but Fu Yunjing suddenly woke himself up with a sneeze.

He rubbed his itchy nose and tried to sit up.

However, as soon as he moved, he felt a tingling sensation in his calves, and he inhaled with a hissing sound.

Gu Zhiyin put on her clothes and walked past Fu Yunjing. Seeing his painful and twisted face, her dark eyes turned slightly and she said with a frown, "Does your leg feel uncomfortable? Let me massage it for you."

Fu Yunjing was startled, and before he could say no, Gu Zhiyin's claws reached out to his calf and pinched it with lightning speed.

"Gu! Zhi! Yin!"

Fu Yunjing growled with his teeth bared, and the feeling of soreness and pain almost took away his heart.

He glared at Gu Zhiyin: "You did it on purpose."

Gu Zhiyin blinked innocently: "What do you mean by intentional or not? I just wanted to massage the prince's legs. Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Stay away and don't touch me."

Fu Yunjing was afraid that Gu Zhiyin would hit him again, so he quickly stretched out his arm and made a gesture to stop her.

Gu Zhiyin looked at Fu Yunjing deeply, as if to say, "I clearly meant well but you don't appreciate it." She sighed and said, "Okay, then, Prince, please do as you please."

"Yeah, you don't have to worry about me." Fu Yunjing waved his hand hurriedly.

He couldn't afford such kindness, he couldn't afford it!

After a simple breakfast, the two went to pay their respects to the old princess.

Looking at the old princess walking towards her like a pair of golden boy and jade girl, she smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, as if she had already seen her little great-grandson waving his little hand and walking towards her.

The old princess pulled Gu Zhiyin aside to talk, and Fu Yunjing sat down beside her.

"Why are you still sitting?"

Fu Yunjing suddenly felt that the stool was a little hot on his butt. He looked at the old princess with resentment: "Grandma, you don't like me so much now?"

It's too heartbreaking.

The old princess pointed outside and said, "What time is it? Why don't you go to the academy?"

Fu Yunjing's mouth twitched slightly: "Grandma, the academy is closed today."

The old princess was stunned for a moment: "Ah, really?" She forgot: "Can't I study during the holidays? Do you know everything the teacher teaches? You don't have any idea in your head. Go and review. I can't bear to see you sitting idle like this."

Fu Yunjing: “…”

Grandma, you have changed. I am no longer your favorite grandson, right?

After Fu Yunjing left, the old princess and Gu Zhiyin talked about the rumors about Ji Yuanwen and Pei Shuyan.

Gu Zhiyin did not hide it and told the old princess the truth about how she had fanned the flames.

"The Ji family insisted that Mao Yongchang was bribed to frame them, and the Ministry of Justice cannot torture the Ji family to extract confessions. If this drags on, the poisoning of the eldest sister will probably go unsolved, so now they can only use rumors to expand the matter. It is a fact that the eldest sister is seriously ill in the Xing'an Marquis's mansion. Mao Yongchang confessed in the Ministry of Justice that he poisoned the eldest sister at the behest of the Xing'an Marquis's wife. Although this cannot be used as the only evidence, the Xing'an Marquis's mansion is suspected of murdering the princess, and the purpose of this was to make Ji Yuanwen marry Pei Shuyan as his concubine. The eldest sister refused, so the Ji family had to do it once and for all, so they gave the eldest sister a chronic poison and let her die quietly, so that Pei Shuyan could be the main wife. They are so cruel that my father begged the emperor to make the decision. This matter has caused a lot of uproar in the city, and the emperor cannot ignore it."

First, many people saw the two of them having a secret meeting in Bichun Tower, and then Gu Zhiyin ordered people to spread rumors everywhere.

Even if something has not happened, if it is spread widely, it will become a fact.

What’s more, it just hasn’t happened in this life yet. Fu Yunyao died in this way in her previous life.

The Ji family and the Pei family, the two executioners, are not innocent.

The old princess understood Gu Zhiyin's intention, patted her hands and said, "You are thoughtful. I didn't think deeply about it before. Now I find that if Wei really just wanted to find a concubine for Ji Yuanwen, why would she praise Pei Shuyan so much? She even dared to harm Yao'er. It can be seen that the Pei family has given an extremely tempting condition to ask Yao'er to give up her position."

If Fu Yunyao was murdered by Ji's family because she disagreed with Ji Yuanwen taking a concubine, this reason would not make sense and would not arouse sympathy. In their view, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If Fu Yunyao had stopped them, she would have been unvirtuous and ungenerous, and she deserved to be murdered.

Therefore, it makes sense that the Ji family wanted Fu Yunyao to agree to take Pei Shuyan as their co-wife in order to get Pei Shuyan's huge dowry, and that they had the audacity to poison the princess after being rejected.

In addition, Wei had previously brought Pei Shuyan to attend a banquet at the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion in a high-profile manner, so the misunderstanding at that time seems reasonable in the light of today's rumors.

The wages of avarice is death.

The status of a princess is noble, but it can be abandoned for the sake of absolute money.

What's more, the Pingyang Palace is on the decline, and in a few years, the throne may not be secure.

The people of the capital love gossip the most. The Xing'an Marquisate is a marquisate family, and Fu Yunyao is the princess of a royal palace. The Ji family murdered the princess for a merchant girl. This kind of thing is even more violent than the incident when Prince Ming made a big fuss about an actor.

Although actors have a lower status than business women, Prince Ming did not murder his own wife in order to marry Lin Jianyue.

Moreover, the actor followed Prince Ming first. Even if the two of them appeared as a couple, at least everyone knew that they were Prince Ming's people. Unlike Pei Shuyan, an unmarried girl who had no manners to commit adultery with a married man.

By the way...it's been a while since I heard the gossip about Prince Ming and the actor?

Ahem...I'm getting off track.

"The Xing'an Marquis's Mansion is so bold that they dared to harm the princess, their legitimate wife, for a merchant girl. No wonder they wanted to take the princess back to the palace to recuperate. If she had stayed in the Ji family, she would have died."

"I heard that Prince Pingyang went to the Ministry of Justice to sue the Marquis of Xing'an and his wife, and Lord Zhou personally led people to the Marquis of Xing'an's mansion to arrest them, but due to insufficient evidence, they released them."

"When did it happen?"

"Just a few days ago, everyone in the Ministry of Justice knew about it, but Lord Zhou strictly ordered that it should not be spread before the investigation was thorough. The Prince of Pingyang arrested the doctor who treated Princess Yunhua, and he confessed that he was instructed by the wife of the Marquis of Xing'an to deliberately delay the princess's illness, causing her cold to worsen. He also lied that she had a contagious rash and did not allow anyone to visit the princess, effectively placing her under house arrest."

"Is this not enough evidence? There is clearly evidence of human error."

"The wife of the Marquis of Xing'an denied it and said that the doctor was instructed by someone else to deliberately sow discord between the two families."

"Of course she doesn't dare to admit it. Murdering the princess is a serious crime, and even the Marquis' Mansion cannot forgive it easily! But it's really rare to see a family as stupid and vicious as them. They don't want the princess but want to marry a merchant girl. What's their brain?"

"The Pei family is a salt merchant family with a rich family fortune. I heard that the Pei family promised that as long as the Xing'an Marquisate was willing to give her a position as a co-wife, they would bring a dowry of one million taels into the mansion."

"Hiss... so many!"
