Ji Chengde, who was sitting on the carriage with drooping eyebrows, opened the curtains and saw this scene. Before the carriage stopped at the door, he fell out of the carriage in panic.
"What are you doing? I haven't returned home yet. Are you going to demolish my mansion? Has the imperial edict arrived? How dare you?!"
When Ji Chengde heard the news in the palace, he didn't feel much.
He even tried to convince himself that it was a great achievement to protect Lin Wenrui's life and their love with a cold piece of iron elixir.
But now that I saw the plaque on the Hou Mansion being demolished, everything became more real.
This plaque of "Nanyang Marquis Mansion" has been hanging here for hundreds of years. Now it is going to be destroyed in his hands. If he dies, won't his underground ancestors eat him alive?
No, you don’t have to wait until he dies. When he is alive, his mother will crush him to ashes.
Ji Chengde shrank his neck and did not dare to look in the direction of Mrs. Ji behind him.
Eunuch Gao, who was standing by, saw this and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Ji, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. If you are here, then follow the order!"
"Quickly! The slaves above who are removing the plaques must stop!"
After Eunuch Gao said this, without waiting for Ji Chengde's reply, he opened the rolled-up imperial edict in his hand.
How did this... come so fast?
Everything happened too fast and too hastily.
When Ji Chengde saw the bright yellow imperial edict in Eunuch Gao's hand, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he felt that after he breathed in the breath, it made him feel cold all over and he couldn't spit it out.
His whole body went limp and he knelt down.
Everyone in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion also knelt behind Ji Chengde.
"By God's will, the emperor issued an edict saying that the Marquis of Nanyang, Ji Chengde, is not allowed to seek any position in the office, nor is he allowed to manage his wife and family members, which is detrimental to his personal ethics and endangers the health of the Queen Mother. According to my decree, the title of Marquis of Nanyang is revoked and he is demoted to a baron. , it lasts for one generation and cannot be hereditary. Thank you for this!"
"Okay, Lord Marquis - no, I have to call you Lord Ji. Lord Ji, please accept the order. In the future, please take good care of the relatives in the house and rebuild the family tradition. Otherwise, next time, His Majesty's orders will not be so light. ”
Eunuch Gao bent down and handed over the imperial edict, with a smile on his face.
Ji Chengde's whole body froze, and his hands trembled as he tried to receive the imperial edict, but his lips were slightly opened and his throat was so tight that he couldn't speak.
The scene was deadlocked for a long time, and finally Mrs. Ji took two steps on her knees and stepped forward to receive the imperial edict.
"I thank the Lord for your kindness. I will remember it in my heart and will never do it again!"
After saying this, she slowly closed her reddish eyes, took the imperial edict, and then held the mute woman's hand into the mansion.
Her back was very depressed. Ji Chengde did not expect that Mrs. Ji did not punish herself this time, but entered the courtyard without saying a word.
After Mrs. Ji entered the door, Ji Chengde slowly stood up and was about to follow Mrs. Ji in.
Unexpectedly, the plaque hanging high at the door was shaky and fell to the ground with a loud bang before Ji Chengde entered the house.
The four characters "Nanyang Marquis Mansion" also broke into several pieces, almost hitting Ji Chengde's head.
Now...he has nothing left, only Lin Wenrui, who was exchanged for the iron coupon of the alchemy book, is still by his side.
Ji Chengde turned his head and glanced at Lin Wenrui, who smiled sweetly at him.
The fact that the Marquis of Nanyang was demoted was widely spread in the capital. Lin Wenrui had never been one to sit back and wait for death.
On the night she was demoted, she wore a black cloak and left the house.
Lin Wenrui went to a place, the yard where she often went.
The yard is spacious, and the owner of the yard only comes here occasionally at night.
But today, the courtyard seemed to know some news in advance. The courtyard door was not even locked, but brightly lit, waiting for Lin Wenrui.
Lin Wenrui held a lantern, pushed open the courtyard door, and crossed the threshold.
She then knocked on the door of the room three times and then long. Before the people inside could speak, she put out the lantern in her hand and opened the door.
Lin Wenrui walked in. Before she even took off her cloak, a fat body came up to her and hugged her impatiently.
He buried himself in Lin Wenrui's neck and took a breath, and then said: "After hearing the news, I knew you were coming tonight, which is indeed good."
Lin Wenrui pushed him gently and put down the hat of her cloak. What she saw was Jingzhao Yin Lu Zhongfeng's huge face.
The green bean-like eyes were embedded in the white face, almost invisible.
"Don't pretend to be intimate with me! I always feel that you are not the same person during the day as you are at night. I used to wink at you so many times, but you didn't know how to defend me in front of that little bitch, and even called me I’m in a bad mood!”
When Lu Zhongfeng heard this, his expression changed in an instant, but he quickly changed back: "I always have to use my strength in the dark! If I use my strength in the open, wouldn't everyone Do you know our relationship?"
After he finished speaking, he smiled evilly and bumped into Lin Wenrui's body.
Lin Wenrui glared at him angrily: "If you work hard, don't I work hard? If I put in so much effort, I must be rewarded!"
Lu Zhongfeng felt her eyes roll, and the smile on his face widened even more: "Then what reward do you want?"
Lin Wenrui smiled coldly: "I want Ji Wanrong to die, do you dare?"
Lu Zhongfeng didn't find her request strange, he just calmed down his expression and said calmly.
"Then what do you want to do? She is Princess Han. I have heard about it. The emperor made her the county chief today. Master Jiuyun also said that she is a lucky star. She has also saved so many people. I can't Just like how we deal with gangsters and beggars, should we just put her in jail and execute her?"
Lin Wenrui had already thought of this and twitched her lips indifferently: "She likes to cure diseases and save people so much. Whenever she cures people to death, it is a sin. If the family members of the victims sue the emperor, even Master Jiuyun will Nothing to say."
After Lu Zhongfeng heard this, he immediately thought of a suitable candidate.
"There is a useless loser in my government. I gave her medicine first, and then called Ji Wanrong to come for treatment. If she died during the treatment, she would not be able to escape suspicion. This matter is very easy to handle."
Lin Wenrui knew who the "trash" he was talking about was, and secretly felt a little frightened: "That is your married wife. She gave birth to a child for you in the past. Are you willing to let her go?"
Jing Zhaoyin smiled frivolously and began to untie the straps of Lin Wenrui's cloak, and then the buttons on her clothes.
"Whether I want to give up or not depends on your performance tonight!!"
Immediately, there was an embarrassing sound in the room.
The spies on the roof carefully recorded everything they saw and heard through the opened tiles in a small notebook.
It wasn't until the noise in the room stopped that he put away his notebook with a pale face, used Qinggong, and flew towards Ji Wanrong's Chuyun Garden with a serious look on his face.
