Chapter 742: You will die within 3 days!
Prince Liang's Mansion.
After Song Ruozhen and her entourage left, the Prince's Mansion returned to peace.
The servants around them had all left, leaving only King Liang and Queen Liang, and the atmosphere was strangely heavy.
"Didn't I tell you to avoid causing trouble when you go out?" King Liang's voice was cold, but his seemingly calm tone made Qi Qingyi uneasy.
Qi Qingyi immediately knelt down, "Your Highness, I didn't want to cause trouble, but Song Ruozhen really went too far!"
Her attitude was arrogant, she completely disregarded me, and even deliberately provoked me. I couldn't hold back for a moment, and that's why I did something wrong.
“You should know the current status of the King of Chu in the dynasty. He is in power. Provoking them at this time will only bring trouble to me.”
The King of Liang's eyes were dark and cold; the more he thought about it lately, the more uneasy he felt.
Even though everyone in the court praised the King of Chu, thinking him to be intelligent, wise, and highly skilled in martial arts, making him one of the top princes.
But he never took it to heart.
In his view, these were all just appearances; he had his fortune told since childhood and was destined to be a true dragon.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get the master to willingly follow him. But recent events have given him a vague feeling that he's out of control.
Everything was under his control before, but suddenly things changed. Initially, he even wanted to recruit Lin Zhiyue to his side.
On the one hand, it was because this kid had made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and on the other hand, the master had predicted beforehand that this person could become his right-hand man and help him rise to prominence.
Who would have thought that before he could even recruit this person, Song Ruozhen would completely destroy his chances of recovery!
Since then, things have become increasingly unfavorable, and many things have spiraled out of control. His mother was even disfigured, which was something he had never expected.
Now that his plans have been disrupted, it's no easy task for him to get everything back on track. He never expected that Qi Qingyi would provoke the King of Chu and the King of Yang at such a critical juncture.
Although King Yang and King Chu had no prior enmity, their relationship was not particularly good either.
This whole commotion has actually brought the two of them closer together, but isn't it just creating an adversary for him?
Qi Qingyi felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't really understand why her prince was so warm and gentle outside, but so unpredictable and moody at home.
Her mother told her that people who are sick for a long time are bound to become eccentric. Since the prince fell ill because of her, she owed him and therefore had to marry him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't want to marry a sickly man who would be bedridden all the time. Even though she would be a princess, she wouldn't be as glamorous as the other princesses!
Seeing Qi Qingyi's terrified expression, King Liang slowly reached out and pulled her up.
"You are my wife, so naturally I want to treat you well, don't you think?"
Qi Qingyi nodded. "Your Highness is right."
"Please invite my father-in-law to the mansion tomorrow. I have just received some fine wine and would like to invite him to taste it," said the Prince of Liang with a gentle smile.
Qi Qingyi was overjoyed and agreed, "I'll send a message back in a bit!"
"I'm sorry you had to suffer today. Does it hurt from kneeling just now?"
"It doesn't hurt." Qi Qingyi said with a wronged expression. "I just can't stand how arrogant Song Ruozhen is. We're both princesses, but she relies on the Prince of Chu to back her up and doesn't take anyone else seriously at all!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you get revenge."
A playful glint flashed in Liang Wang's eyes. The Qi family probably couldn't stand to see Qi Qingyi being wronged. This was a good excuse!
……
Inviting the Moon Pavilion.
After Song Ruozhen and the others took their seats, Prince Yang ordered all the restaurant's specialty dishes to be served, and then he spoke:
"To be honest, I have a good brother, He Yulong from the Marquis of Jingbei's mansion, but recently, for some reason, his mansion has been having a series of mishaps."
What happened a few days ago was even more outrageous. I went out with him, and a vase from the second floor smashed into his head, drawing blood immediately.
Prince Yang's expression was complicated. "If this kind of thing happened only once in a while, it might be an accident. But he has been having a lot of bad luck lately, and this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice."
So I wondered if there was something strange about it, otherwise it would be hard to believe that someone could be so unlucky!
Upon hearing this, Meng Qin couldn't help but look at Song Ruozhen. She remembered how she had only survived because she had listened to Ruozhen's advice.
You can't find a solution to this by asking others, but if you ask Ruozhen, she can actually find a solution!
"Has this young master He arrived?" Song Ruozhen asked.
Prince Yang nodded. "He's here. He's been waiting outside. I'm thinking if my sister-in-law agrees, I'll let him in; if not, then forget it."
"Then please come in, Young Master He. I'll be able to see him more clearly once I see him."
Soon, He Yulong walked in and said, "Greetings, King Chu and Queen Chu."
Chu Junting also knew that the young marquis of the Jingbei Marquis's mansion had recently inherited the title of marquis, but he had put in a lot of effort to obtain it.
Now that he has finally become a marquis, disasters keep happening to him, probably because someone is deliberately sabotaging him behind his back.
The moment Song Ruozhen saw He Yulong, she immediately understood why this guy was so unlucky; it was like dark clouds were pressing down on him!
He Yulong looked pale and haggard, with deep dark circles under his eyes. He seemed to have been drained of all his energy and looked extremely tired.
His forehead was still wrapped in gauze, clearly from the injury he sustained a couple of days ago.
"Princess Consort of Chu, I have no other choice but to come to you for help. I feel that if things continue like this, I will lose my life!"
He Yulong was extremely frustrated. He should have been riding high after inheriting the title, but unexpectedly, one thing after another happened. He didn't dare to go out these past few days.
Even if he didn't go out, strange things kept happening in the mansion. It just so happened that he and Prince Yang were good brothers, so he could only ask Prince Yang to help him introduce him to the Princess of Chu.
Looking at He Yulong's face, Song Ruozhen said, "If no one helps you break free from this curse, you will surely die within three days."
Upon hearing this, He Yulong's eyes widened suddenly, and his face was filled with deep fear.
"Princess Consort of Chu, please save my life! I'll do anything you ask to live!"
Prince Yang, who was standing to the side, was also shocked to find that the situation was so serious. He could tell that something was wrong with He Yulong, but he never thought it would be this serious!
"Sister-in-law, is there any way to solve this?"
Song Ruozhen nodded; this little thing was a piece of cake for her!
"Considering you are a good friend of Prince Yang, and Princess Yang is my close confidante, and as a member of the Xuanmen sect, you should not casually provoke karma. For ten thousand taels of silver, I will help you break this curse!"
Upon hearing this, He Yulong quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Princess Consort of Chu!"
This sum of ten thousand taels of silver might be a lot for others, but he knew that for the Princess of Chu, it was undoubtedly the lowest possible price!
She helped him out of respect for Prince Yang and his wife!
