After Yu Dejiang drank half a bottle of wine in one breath, he started to eat the braised pork head with a white steamed bun in big mouthfuls. He was thinking proudly that after he got out, he would find his brother and tell him that he didn't need to hide anymore because the matter had been settled!

Half an hour later, drunk and full, he fell asleep on the straw mat...

The next morning, when the jailer came to inspect the prison, he was surprised to find him lying there motionless, his body stiff, and he had been dead for a long time!

The jailer hurriedly reported the news. After reporting it layer by layer, Shadow Guard Deputy Commander Zhang Yi hurried to Wuji Hall and said, "Sir Meng, it's just as you expected. Yu Dejiang was poisoned to death..."

Meng Jifei said expressionlessly: "Well, spread this news and let Yu Dehai who is hiding in Prince Jing's Mansion know!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Yi turned and left.

……

Huainan Palace.

The King of Huainan sat in the living room and said, "Ji Fei said that Concubine Jia really killed that guy. It seems that the guy must know a lot of things."

The woman behind the screen chuckled and said, "But she doesn't know that Meng Jifei has a special skill. He can make the prisoner tell the truth involuntarily by just staring into his eyes. Afterwards, he won't have any memory of it. Then he can get a confession without anyone noticing by pressing a fingerprint."

"I heard from Yao Nian that Qing He has been too sad recently and has fallen ill again. When do you plan to meet her?"

"Wait a little longer. When my revenge is complete, it won't be too late for me to meet her again."

"So when are you going to deal with that mother and daughter?"

The woman was silent for a while, "Let the four of them be reunited first!"

"Okay, I'll go say hello to Ying Tianfu."

……

Prince Jing's Mansion.

Princess Jingying was sitting in Ninglu Garden admiring a pot of orchids, a smile on her face. She heard that the little village girl missed her brother too much and had fallen ill... This was truly an unexpected gain!

The maid Bing Sui came in hurriedly and said, "Princess, something bad has happened. That short Yu is clamoring to see you, saying that his brother is dead and it's his turn next!"

Jingying frowned after hearing this and sighed, "Tell him to wait for me in the pavilion."

"Yes."

Bing Sui turned around and walked to the second gate, and said to Yu Dehai who was waiting anxiously outside: "The princess asked you to wait in the pavilion in the garden!"

"Hey! Good! Good!"

A short, big-headed middle-aged man happily followed the maid into the back garden after hearing this.

After a while, Jingying, wearing a moon-white cloak with a white fox fur collar and embroidered flowers, walked into the pavilion. "Old Yu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Yu Dehai fell to his knees with a plop and said, "Princess, my brother has been killed in prison! The next person the Jiang family will look for is me. If they come to the palace to ask for someone, you promised me that I would not be involved if anything goes wrong..."

Jingying smiled softly and said, "Why, you don't trust me?"

"I don't dare! But just in case, you'd better show me a way out. Hiding in the kitchen every day is not a solution, right?"

Jingying thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll introduce you to Mr. Cheng. His yard is quiet and usually no outsiders come there. You stay there quietly and wait until this storm is over before you come out."

Yu Dehai said nothing after hearing this!

He originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to ask Guan Jingying for a hush money and run away.

After all, isn't it better to take the money and go back to your hometown to live a carefree life than to hide in the capital and live in fear all day?

Who would have thought that the princess would actually ask him to serve the new Mr. Cheng. Did she think he was easy to bully?

Yu Dehai was silent for a while, then hesitantly said, "This is not a long-term solution... I think it would be better for me to go out of the spotlight..."

Jingying stared at him straight, and secretly said in her heart: "How can I let you go so easily! It's just that the situation is tense now, so it's not easy to act rashly! Otherwise, I would have gotten rid of you long ago! Wouldn't that be better than letting you go to another place?"

Jingying smiled and said, "That's fine! But now there are Shadow Guards everywhere, so it's difficult to leave the city. Why don't you hide here for two days? When the situation calms down, it won't be too late for you to leave then."

"Yes, but... Princess, can you give me some money? I have nothing now, and even if I leave the city, I have nowhere to go..."

Jingying smiled and said, "No problem. When you leave, I will give you the travel expenses."

Yu Dehai never expected that this beautiful princess was so mean and cunning, and actually wanted to default on her debt!

It was agreed at the beginning that he would be given two thousand taels of silver notes after the matter was accomplished, but now he doesn't mention it at all and pretends that it never happened!

He couldn't help but remind her, "Princess, I don't have to worry about the money, but I still need your help with the cost of settling down! I think two or three thousand taels of silver will be enough..."

Jingying looked at his evasive manner, and suddenly she understood and said, "Well, look at my memory! I promised to give you two thousand taels of silver, but I forgot about it these days because I was busy with so many things! How about this, when you want to leave, come to me and I will give you the banknote!"

Yu Dehai laughed dryly twice, rubbed his hands awkwardly and said: "I wonder if the princess is free now... I'm a little short of money from gambling recently..."

At this time, the maid Bing Sui walked into the pavilion and said, "Princess, Yao Bilian and her daughter are here, waiting outside. They said they want to discuss what happened last time with you."

Jingying frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Bring them in!"

"Yes."

Bingsui turned and left.

Jingying smiled faintly and said, "Old Yu, you go back first. I'll have my maid bring the banknote to you later."

Yu Dehai said happily: "Oh! OK, OK, thank you very much, Princess! I'll take my leave!" Then he turned and left.

Jingying looked at his short and strong back coldly, and suddenly she came up with a plan that could solve two major problems at the same time, and she couldn't help but laugh happily...

She hadn't been this happy for a long time. She had been living in torment day and night since Jiang Yaonian got married, but today she finally saw a little bit of happiness in the future!

Li led Yao Bilian into the pavilion and bowed to Jingying, saying, "Greetings, Princess Jingying!"

Jingying smiled and said, "Mrs. Yao, why did you come to your senses again today?"

"I didn't know the princess had such great power before, so I didn't agree at that time. Now I think it's better to give it a try than to live in Yao's house. This way I can relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Lee was not telling the truth.

Yesterday, when she was working in the backyard of the Yao Mansion, she accidentally heard Mrs. Yao say, "Master, didn't you say you wanted to invite Mr. Jiang and his wife to your house? I heard that they have returned now. When should we send the housekeeper to deliver the invitation?"

Yao Yuntao said, "Don't invite them now. Young Master Jiang has not been in the mansion recently. I heard that something happened to Madam Jiang's family."

"Ah, what happened?"

Li, who was outside, happened to come to the upper room to answer the call. When she heard this, she suddenly started to get alert!
