Chapter 649: Giving Porridge to Save People
"His Highness the Night King even helped my mother chop wood. They are totally different from those imperial officials who bully us. They are really good people."
The person who spoke was none other than Gu Zhou, whom Ji Yuntang had rescued two days ago.
Next to Gu Zhou stood Gu Mu, Gu Hao, and the two sisters Xiao Lian and Xiao He.
Gu Mu continued, "My son is right. When His Royal Highness the Night King and the Night Queen came to my house, they said they could save my eldest son. I thought they had bad intentions, but it was my youngest son who begged me to trust them once."
"The doctor couldn't save my eldest son, so he asked me to prepare for his funeral. I really had no other options, so I decided to let Princess Ye try."
"I didn't expect that she would cure my eldest son's illness and also cure my chronic leg pain that had lasted for decades. Now I don't have back pain or leg pain when I walk, and I don't even need a cane anymore."
"Thanks to His Royal Highness the Night King and His Majesty the Night Princess, our whole family was saved."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Gu Mu.
When they found that the other person had a straight back, walked with a breeze, and had no crutches in his hands, they would be lying if they said they were not shocked.
As far as they knew, Gu Mu's leg had been treated many times when she was young, and no famous doctor could cure it.
But who would have thought that he would be cured by Princess Ye in just two days?
There was a hint of suspicion in the eyes of everyone looking at Ji Yuntang.
She looks so young, how could she have such good medical skills?
At this time, Xiao He also stood up and said: "What Aunt Gu said is true. I and my sister were both captured by City Lord Jiang. He tied our hands and feet, whipped us, and said he would dig out our eyes to make art."
"Thanks to His Royal Highness the Night King and the Night Queen, I and my sister were able to escape from the City Lord's Mansion and be rescued. They are our lifesavers."
As Xiaolian and Xiaohe spoke, they knelt in front of Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe.
"Your Highness the Night King, Your Highness the Night Princess, please accept our greetings from our two sisters."
Ji Yuntang quickly stepped forward to help them up, and pulled them aside. She said, "The past is over, and your revenge has been avenged. From now on, you two sisters must live well and don't be influenced by the voices of the outside world and do anything stupid."
Ji Yuntang knew that Xiaolian and Xiaohe had been defiled by Jiang Wangbei.
In this dynasty, women who lost their virginity before marriage generally could not survive.
Some women even commit suicide because they cannot bear the consequences.
Ji Yuntang had managed to rescue the two people with great difficulty, and she didn't want them to do anything stupid.
Xiaolian's eyes were red. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, Princess. It's not easy for us two sisters to save our lives. We will definitely live well."
"If Liangzhoukou can't accommodate us, then we can go live somewhere else. The world is so big, there must be a place that can accommodate us sisters."
Ji Yuntang curled his red lips and said, "It's great that you two think so."
She chatted with Xiaolian and Xiaohe for a few words and then returned to Luo Junhe.
As soon as they stood still, all the people in front of them knelt down.
They said one after another: "Your Highness the Night King, Queen of the Night, please forgive me. I was blind and misunderstood the prince and the queen. I hope you can be magnanimous and not take it personally."
Just now, they learned from Gu Zhou that Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were the merchant couple who sold rice to them on the street yesterday.
The rice they sell is of good quality, cheap, and not short of weight, which makes it very popular among them.
The most important thing is that no one expected that His Royal Highness the Night King and his wife would actually go out and sell rice on the street themselves.
This down-to-earth behavior made the people feel that they were completely different from the high-ranking officials in the court.
At least, they really care about them.
At this moment, someone spoke again.
"I vaguely saw two people coming into the dungeon last night. Are they the Night King and the Night Queen? They released us from the cell, right?"
Another prisoner said, "Yes, I saw it too. It was a man and a woman, and their height and body shape were exactly the same as the prince and princess."
"And the young man in black next to them, isn't that the guy in the cell who is abused every day? He is actually someone close to His Majesty the Night King."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted.
It turned out that the people who went to the dungeon to rescue them last night were Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang.
Although they did not open their cell doors directly, they deliberately threw the keys on the ground.
Isn't the purpose of doing this to let them out?
When the prisoners realized what had happened, they all knelt on the ground to thank Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang.
"Thank you, Your Highness, the Night King, and the Queen Mother of the Night King for releasing us from prison and giving us a chance to seek revenge. The prince and the queen mother are our great benefactors!"
Luo Junhe looked at them and said slowly: "I know that many of you have not committed any crime. You were arrested by Jiang Wangbei on purpose."
"It is the fault of the Dongchen royal family that such a corrupt official appeared in Liangzhou. I, the king, would like to apologize to you on behalf of the royal family. I am sorry that you have been wronged because the court did not find such a corrupt official."
Luo Junhe was sincere and bowed to them at 90 degrees.
Seeing this, everyone immediately said: "Your Highness Ye Wang, please don't say that. The fact that we were captured by Jiang Wangbei has nothing to do with you."
"The court should give us an explanation for this matter, but you shouldn't be the one to apologize to us."
They had just learned that Luo Junhe had been paralyzed in bed for the past three years and had no one to serve him.
At one point he was about to collapse, but Ji Yuntang appeared and saved him, and he was able to recover.
So the suffering Luo Junhe endured over the years was no less than what they had endured in prison.
What's more, he was dismissed from his post by Emperor Jingyang and had no military power. Even if he wanted to help them, how could he do it?
After learning about this incident, the people felt deeply guilty for their actions.
His Royal Highness the Night King and the Night Princess are still trying to help them, how can they be so rude to them?
Ji Yuntang took in the changes in the expressions on everyone's faces, and she said, "Now that the prince and this princess are here, we will not sit idly by and watch what happened at Liangzhoukou."
"Starting from the hour of Si tomorrow, this princess and His Royal Highness the Night King will distribute porridge in front of the City Lord's Mansion for three consecutive days."
