Chapter 228 Massacre
"Dad, this woman, Wang Wanxin, is so disrespectful to the Emperor and Empress!"
Queen Ji was filled with anger and stood up immediately.
Although she was still acting coquettishly towards Ji Xiangli as before, her expression had grown gloomy at some point, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
Recently, her relationship with the emperor has been much worse than before.
I came here with the emperor today, and I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to reconcile with the emperor and let everyone solve the problem for the sake of the emperor and Xu'er.
After all, her relationship with the emperor has reconciled, and if the Ji family were to cause trouble, it would be a bit rude.
As a result, at this critical moment, the madman actually chose to use such vicious words to scold her and even dared to assassinate her!
It seems that this assassination attempt must have been planned for a long time!
Wang must have kept those words in her heart for a long time!
I really wronged her that she took so long to speak out! !
Queen Ji bit her back teeth hard, and a strong sense of hostility surged in her pupils.
Her look did not escape Ji Xiangli's eyes.
Ji Xiangli couldn't help but be shocked.
When did this daughter of mine, who had always been spoiled and straightforward, suddenly develop such a cruel and murderous aura?
Even though she had become the queen in the past, she was always cute and naive. When something happened, she would only look for her elder brother and herself to find a solution.
There has never been such a fierce murderous aura.
Besides, Wang is her elder sister-in-law!
In the past, there was nothing to fault about her and the Third Prince.
Thinking about what she had said before, that killing Ji Tang was not her original intention, Ji Xiangli couldn't help but have a layer of suspicion in his eyes.
But what is heavier than the doubt is the heartache.
When did his Ji family fall into this situation of fighting among themselves?
Thinking about Wang's actions just now, it must be the resentment that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time.
Although she has been punished, the problem still exists and he still needs to figure out the whole story.
Therefore, he looked at Empress Ji coldly, his voice filled with ice and snow: "Forget it, Empress, today, you originally came here to explain to the Ji family the reason for Tang'er's death. But now, you see the situation. Wang is Tang'er's mother. Her grief is naturally incomprehensible to others."
"You don't need to explain to me why you killed Tang'er and how you killed her..."
He slowly stood up and said, "The Ministry of Rites has already sent someone to tell us the details of your murder."
Tears formed in his eyes. "The Ji family can no longer bear the burden of your Majesty's explanation. I only hope that your Majesty will let the rest of the Ji family go."
He saw clearly the murderous intent in Jiaru's eyes just now.
Although Wang had just spoken arrogantly and rudely, she had also done something excessive.
But it is true that he suffered a lot of injustice during this period in the Ji family.
He didn't want this incident to put the Wang family into a dangerous crisis.
Upon hearing this, Empress Ji's eyes narrowed suddenly. "Father! Why do you say that? In your heart, is Jiaru such a person who can't distinguish right from wrong?"
Ji Xiangli waved his hand, feeling bitter.
"Didn't you come here this time to explain to me? On the surface, it seems that you, the Queen, have come to apologize to your natal family. But, do we have a choice? Can we not forgive? What is the Ji family like now? Maybe, they will be charged with the crime of murdering the queen mother. Well, you should go back to the palace as soon as possible!"
He gave a wry laugh, then glanced at the Third Prince, who had been sitting in his seat without saying a word, and patted him on the shoulder: "Xu'er, don't be affected by these things, that's all."
The third prince looked at Ji Xiangli's face full of expectation, not knowing what to do.
I could only stammer a few times, "Don't worry, Grandfather. I will visit Tang'er often in the future."
Queen Ji had never felt Ji Xiangli's cold treatment towards her, and she also knew that she had not actually received her father's forgiveness.
Therefore, I couldn't bear it anymore.
Even though Wang wanted to kill her just now, her father actually wanted to help Wang!
"You can't treat your daughter like this just because you met Wang Wanxin once. She almost killed me, the Queen!"
Forced to do so, she summoned the dignity of a queen, "Where's Si Luan? Should he come and listen too?"
Ji Xiangli looked back at Queen Ji, his eyes full of pain and disappointment.
"Is it because of Wang Wanxin?"
He raised his head and sighed, suppressing the sadness in his heart. "Jia Ru, Qing Yan's body is still lying in the mansion. Tang Er also died soon after. Your sister-in-law is half-dead and half-ghost, suffering from heart failure. Is the only thing in your heart whether your father has forgiven you?"
"You are the queen who is high above everyone else, but has it been too long since you visited the Ji family and every one of their relatives?"
Ji Xiangli walked to the door with trembling steps.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he walked back.
In the hall, he bowed politely to the Emperor and Empress Ji.
"Just now, Wang was so grief-stricken that she behaved in a rude manner. Your Majesty, Empress, please don't be offended!"
Seeing her father's unprecedented distant and cold attitude, Empress Ji was panicked and didn't know how to dispel his resentment.
The emperor looked at this scene with great satisfaction.
Although the crazy woman from the Ji family almost assassinated the queen just now, I am still quite skilled, so how could I let her succeed?
The main thing is that Ji Xiangli finally understood what true submission meant.
After being suppressed for more than ten years, he is finally released!
He liked the feeling of the Ji family bowing down in front of him.
Jiang Yuanfeng did not follow the emperor to the side hall. After all, it was the Ji family's own dispute, and it would be inappropriate for him, an outsider, to go there.
At this moment, he was alone in the mourning hall.
He sat beside the coffin in the mourning hall, watching Ji Qingyan's body lying quietly inside.
There was a pile of paper money half a person's height on the ground, and the younger generations of the Ji family's side branches were weeping in front of the coffin.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Jiang Yuanfeng's eyebrows.
There is no soul left.
There is no return to where you should go, and there is no afterlife.
What's wrong with holding such a grand funeral?
But it was all done for the Ji family to see, just to give them peace of mind.
Jiang Yuanfeng felt bored, so he stood up and planned to go see how the discussion in the main hall was going.
If it was almost over, then he would just say goodbye to the emperor and Prime Minister Ji.
Today, Ji Xiangli invited him to come and find the key to breaking the eye of the formation, but he failed to catch Lu Xuan.
From that moment on, his mind was no longer on this mansion.
He walked out and just saw Ji Xiangli coming out of the side hall.
Jiang Yuanfeng hurried forward and prepared to say goodbye.
However, just as he reached the door of the side hall, he saw another servant coming hurriedly in front of him with a panicked look on his face.
"Master, it's bad, Master!"
The person who came was Qing Mo. He was so anxious that his tongue almost got tied: "The young master is in the yard, unconscious!"
Hearing this, Ji Xiangli frowned, "What?!"
He turned around to glance at the Emperor, Empress, and the others, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something has happened in the palace. I will take my leave now!"
When Empress Ji heard Qing Mo say that something had happened to Ji Bozhou, she immediately looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, shall we go and take a look?"
The emperor no longer cared about these minor quarrels. After all, after seeing the situation today, the queen and the Ji family had completely separated.
Therefore, he nodded cheerfully, "Okay, let's go and take a look."
When Jiang Yuanfeng heard the news, he unconsciously thought of the injured Shen Yuanci whom he saw today. He immediately gave up the idea of saying goodbye and hurriedly followed.
In Danbo Zhai, Ji Bozhou was discovered by the servants a quarter of an hour ago.
At this moment, he only felt his shoulders were swollen and painful, and his head was dizzy.
He leaned against the bed and stood up, shaking his head vigorously.
Fortunately, after a while, his body seemed to adapt to this state and became clear-headed.
Ji Xiangli took the emperor and his entourage to Danbo Zhai, but when he crossed the Neiyi Gate leading to the inner courtyard, his mind suddenly paused.
Now he is bringing so many people with him, but in Si Luan’s yard...what he has done recently, others don’t know, but as his father, doesn’t he know?
The cage was so big that even the interior decoration had been reinforced.
If the emperor found out...
When Jiang Yuanfeng saw Ji Xiangli's pace slowing down slightly, he instantly thought of what he had seen, the abnormality of Ji Bozhou.
