I really became a king.

Chapter 28 Goodbye, Princess
"Is everything safe in the palace?" Jiang Yi asked after entering the palace.

Duo Luo, who was following beside him, bowed and said, "Your Highness, everything is fine. Even the masters have returned. They are all in the Qi Hall..."

Jiang Yi nodded without saying anything. The scene at the door was naturally the work of a certain master.

As they walked along, Jiang Yi saw that the Prince Duan's Mansion was still strictly guarded. He nodded and was quite satisfied with Duo Luo, the new chief steward of the palace.

The Jingqi Hall, as the core of the palace, is located in the middle. When Jiang Yi was halfway there, he remembered something and suddenly changed his route to the right.

The people who followed behind him, except for Fulong who was an old monk in a state of meditation for thousands of years, Duoluo and the others all had their hearts skipped a beat, especially Duoluo, whose forehead was already covered with sweat.

The direction Jiang Yi was heading was Tingtao Pavilion, which was originally where he lived, but he had been there only a few times in the past two years.

Princess Yi is now living in Tingtao Pavilion. Although she is a princess, she has been subjected to all kinds of cold words and sarcasm in the past two years. She has almost become a plague that everyone in the entire Prince Duan’s Mansion avoids.

Two years ago, shortly after the wedding night, it was reported that Princess Yi was still a virgin, and in the two years since then, Prince Yi has never set foot inside her again.

This means being out of favor and abandoned. All kinds of rumors spread in Prince Duan's mansion, saying that Princess Yi is an unlucky person, a barren woman, a seductive and evil person, etc.

No one cared about the rumors, and no one tried to stop them, including Prince Yi himself, who made the rumors become more intense.

Especially after the incident involving Princess Duan, Prince Yi stepped into Tingtao Pavilion for the first time in two years. Although he came out again soon, he finally stopped the trend.

But the news that came out the next day made the rumors spread more widely and more fiercely, because although Prince Yi entered Tingtao Pavilion, he did not enter Princess Yi's bedroom. He did not even greet her. He just took his things and came out.

Duo Luo didn't have much say before, but after being promoted to the chief steward a few days ago, he intervened in the rumors. However, after Jiang Yi's action, he completely let it go.

He thought he was the prince's confidant, so he naturally wanted to guess his intentions, but now it seems that he guessed wrongly? Why did the prince suddenly go to Tingtao Pavilion?

If he had guessed wrong, he, the newly promoted chief steward of the palace, would be in great trouble.

Jiang Yi was indeed planning to go to Tingtao Pavilion. He had been in there once two days ago, but it was late at night, so he poured the contents of the treasury into the storage ring and came out.

Moreover, at that time, no one knew what Princess Duan would do after returning to Northern Frontier. My nerves were extremely tense and I didn't pay attention to this matter.

But today he wanted to go there, and it would also be a good opportunity to hang out with those guys who had returned from the northern border.

"Two years have passed, I wonder how the other person is doing?"

"Is she still the fairy who was not interested in worldly affairs?"

Thinking of the other party's naivety on their wedding night, Jiang Yi showed a smile on his face, but at the same time he secretly sighed. In the past two years, in order to survive, he had been hiding his incompetence and living cautiously, but he basically ignored the other party.

"It's over!" When seeing the smile on Jiang Yi's face, Duo Luo and several consul eunuchs who followed him all turned pale, as if the sky was falling.

This smile was warm, gentle, and even a little doting. What did this mean? It meant that they had all guessed the master's intention wrong!

When Jiang Yi suddenly stopped and the smile on his face suddenly froze, Duo Luo and the others had already begun to tremble all over, with beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads.

"You two little hooves are so bold that you actually dared to steal the red lotus bird's nest soup that only nobles can drink!"

A sharp shout was heard, and a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup stood at the door of Tingtao Pavilion, with her hands on her hips and shouting. In front of her were two weak figures, one big and one small.

"We didn't drink secretly. It's just that the princess has been weak these days and needs to replenish her nutrition." A little maidservant who was only six or seven years old and had pigtails raised her neck to refute. She was Xiao Yangjiao, the maidservant who came with Princess Yi's dowry.

"What princess? After Princess Duan returned to the north, there is only one princess in the palace now, and that is Princess Rong!" The middle-aged woman said disdainfully. The Princess Rong she was talking about was a concubine of Prince Duan, the biological mother of Jiang Zhongchi. "That's right, how can an unknown person be qualified to enjoy such a precious tonic? Did she instruct you to steal it?" A woman next to her echoed. She was the woman Wang who was sent by Princess Duan to check whether Princess Yi was finished.

"No, no..., the young lady didn't tell us to do that. We stole it ourselves." Little Lamb Horns waved his hands anxiously.

"You are going too far. It's fine that you deduct our young lady's monthly salary, but a few days ago you even snatched away her dowry. Our young lady is a princess after all, but she can only eat your leftovers. You..."

Two years later, Dong Wan'er, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, had grown into a graceful young girl, but now tears were streaming down her face.

"I will go to the prince now and ask him why our young lady is not worthy of him. If he doesn't like our young lady, then just write a divorce letter. We don't need your useless Prince Duan's Mansion!"

After saying that, Dong Wan'er pulled the lamb's horns and ran towards a flower archway nearby. After passing this archway, she went straight to the Jiqi Hall.

"Go ahead, he can't even protect himself now, how can he care about you!" said the middle-aged woman with heavy makeup nonchalantly.

"That's right. Now we have to question that unknown woman why she instigated the servants to steal things. Seeing that she is wearing gold and silver, it must have come from illegal sources." Granny Wang said arrogantly.

At this time, Dong Wan'er, who was running with the lamb horns, had already passed through the flower archway, but bumped into someone. She happened to hear the words of Granny Wang behind her, and immediately turned around and ran back, with grief and despair on her face, and she didn't even bother to see who she bumped into.

"You can't go in and bully our young lady!"

But she was suddenly grabbed by a hand. Dong Wan'er struggled to get free. She looked back anxiously and was immediately stunned. The face seemed familiar.

"Leave it to me." Jiang Yi patted the other's head gently, and then smiled at the little sheep horn who raised his little head and frowned at him in confusion.

Looking at Jiang Yi, who was filled with murderous aura, Duo Luo's face turned pale. Although he had not participated in this matter, as the general manager, he could not escape his responsibilities.

"My lord, make atonement!"

Duo Luo knelt down with a plop, his entire upper body prostrated on the ground, and several consuls and eunuchs around him did the same.

Jiang Yi stood there as if talking to himself: "Blame me, I was negligent..."

When Duo Luo and his companions were puzzled, they suddenly heard Jiang Yi's angry shout:

"The evil slave bullies his master!"

"Who gave them the courage?"

"All those involved will be beaten to death!"

Duo Luo didn't react for a moment, but was gently kicked by Fulong next to him, and then he came to his senses:

"Yes!"

Then he stood up and shouted, "Come here, take these women down and beat them all to death on the spot!"

"What do you mean right here? Take him to the Jingqi Hall for execution. Don't pollute the princess' ears!"

Duo Luo, who was suddenly kicked by Jiang Yi, was startled and said, "Yes, yes, take them to Jingqi Hall and stuff their mouths!" After that, he carefully saluted Jiang Yi and went to do it personally.
