Chapter 180 Post
He Yuanguang took the ten thousand taels of silver that Ji Bozhou handed over and happily left the Ji family's house.
When he was leaving the corner gate, he happened to see Huang Zhiwang coming with his men, saying that he had received a report from the people to the police.
He Yuanguang chuckled, "Master Huang, the Dali Temple shouldn't get involved in this matter. This case should be handled by the government, so why are you taking so much trouble? There are people who are already handling this matter, so why bother yourself with it?"
After saying this, he turned around and glanced at the Ji family with a hint of deep meaning, "The Emperor has already sent our family to warn the Ji family, saying that if this happens again, the entire family will be executed!"
After saying that, he didn't leave, but waited for Huang Zhiwang's reply with a smile on his face.
Huang Zhiwang stood there, his mind spinning.
He came here today because it was related to the Ji family, so he was instructed by his superior to come and handle it.
But what Eunuch He meant now was that the emperor had already made a decision and assigned people?
If that's the case, it's really not easy for him to get involved.
He could only bow respectfully to He Yuanguang, who was waiting for his reply, and said, "In that case, I will return to the government office first. I believe that Lord He will come to handle it later!"
……
Prince Jin's Mansion.
Jiang Xing listened to Huang Zhiwang's report, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and the coldness in his eyes quickly condensed, revealing a murderous aura.
Huang Zhiwang was so frightened that he couldn't help wiping his sweat.
"Your Majesty, this is what the princess has assigned me to do. I am no longer able to handle this case. Should I inform the princess of this matter?"
"No need." Jiang Xing said coldly, "There's no need to drag the princess down with her for the trouble caused by Ji Qingyan."
He clenched his fist and said, "Since the emperor has already issued an order, let's do as Eunuch He says."
"Yes!"
Huang Zhiwang retreated immediately afterwards.
Feixing looked at Jiang Xing standing by the window, thinking, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, should you tell the princess what Master Huang said?"
"Do you two have a grudge against the princess?" Jiang Xing glared at him warningly, his tone extremely sharp.
Fei Xing shrank his neck. "What a joke! I have a grudge against whoever the prince has a grudge against! You and the princess..."
He chuckled, "There will be no hatred!"
Jiang Xing rolled his eyes at him and said, "The princess's health is so bad right now that she needs to focus on recuperating. If you tell her, I'm afraid she'll never recover!"
Fei Xing recalled how he had acted in front of Princess Jinyuan before, and murmured boldly, "Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll have another misunderstanding..."
"roll."
The next day.
The sun was scorching, and Xu Shu arrived at Jinyuan at noon.
Lu Xuan was overjoyed, his eyes lit up as he went out to greet him, "But is there a result?"
Xu Shu smiled particularly clearly, "It's natural for the princess to take action!"
He pulled Lu Xuan into the house and said, "Fu'er and Youyou have woken up. As soon as they woke up, I rushed over to tell you the good news."
Lu Xuan's eyes and brows were filled with depression for a few days, but finally they relaxed and he smiled.
"What about the three children who died? Have you gotten any explanation? Has the Ji family sentenced them?"
Xu Shu patted her hands and smiled, "Such a serious case, the body is parked in front of the Ji family's gate, how can they get away with it!"
"The Ji family held funerals for the three children and paid five hundred taels of silver to each of them. Ji Qingyan is now in the government jail. This time, she's going to be beheaded or given a light caning. She's not going to escape."
Hearing the news brought by Xu Shu, Lu Xuan also became excited.
But, will Ji Qingyan be sentenced to death?
Thinking of the scene between Jiang Xing and Ji Qingyan in the teahouse before, her heart suddenly felt like it was stabbed again.
If she died, Jiang Xing wouldn't blame himself, right?
"Princess, things are almost done. Everything went smoothly this time. You can rest and recuperate. When Youyou and Fu'er are well, I will bring them here to thank you for your kindness."
"Sister Xu, it's really too polite of you to say that..."
As he spoke, Lu Xuan's mood was already filled with these news, and then he felt much better. Even his extremely pale face in recent days showed some changes.
For the next half month, Lu Xuan stayed in Jinyuan to recuperate.
My body felt stronger day by day, and my face finally began to look rosy.
She hasn't seen Jiang Xing for these days.
It's just right, coming and going neatly, this is her true nature.
Just when she thought that everything was going smoothly and she had temporarily suppressed the Ji family and had no major worries, an imperial decree arrived at Jinyuan from Kunning Palace.
"Princess, the Queen will be hosting a flower viewing banquet in Kunning Palace tomorrow. We have invited the ladies of various noble families. Please come to the banquet on time tomorrow."
The person who came to deliver the imperial edict was Zhou Lu from Kunning Palace, the chief eunuch beside Empress Ji, whom she had met in her previous life.
It was a flower viewing banquet. Due to authority, usually every family would rush to attend after receiving an invitation. But the Queen actually had to issue a special decree to her?
And sent a personal eunuch to deliver the message?
This is too much respect for her as a princess.
But since the other party takes it so seriously, then of course you know how she will respond, right?
"Eunuch, I won't be attending this flower viewing banquet. I've been feeling unwell lately and have been recuperating at home. If I pass my illness on to the Empress, the Jin Palace will be greatly guilty. I, your concubine, would like to wish the Empress all the best at this flower viewing banquet."
"Princess." Zhou Lu smiled knowingly, as if he had guessed that she would refuse, and replied immediately.
"The other noble ladies received invitations this time, but the princess was the only one who was specifically instructed by the Queen to come and convey the message. I'm afraid this is unacceptable, isn't it?"
He paused, "This time, the fourth daughter of the Duke's Mansion, the Lu family, and Miss Xu Shu are both invited. Her Majesty summoned them mainly so that the princess could have some company. Now, they have accepted the invitation."
Zhou Lu looked humble and pleasant, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Lu Xuan's heart sank.
Lu Yuehe and Xu Shu were people to whom she owed a lot. If she didn't go, they would definitely be in trouble.
For her, the princess, such a big fuss has been made and so many people have been implicated. This is forcing her to show up!
She thought about it, and finally snorted coldly and looked at Zhou Lu, "When is the flower viewing banquet?"
Zhou Lu bowed and said, "Princess, that's right. Tomorrow, at noon. Please make preparations early."
After saying that, Zhou Lu took three steps back and immediately left with a few young eunuchs behind him.
Looking at Zhou Lu's back, Lu Xuan felt doubtful.
Now that things have gotten so bad with the Ji family, they should avoid her as much as possible. With Ji Jiaru's courage, she wouldn't dare to meet with her in such a threatening manner at this critical moment.
The only one who can and dares to do this is Ji Qingyan.
But didn’t Ji Qingyan say that she was already in jail?
Uncontrollable anger surged in her heart, her eyebrows raised, and her face was full of turmoil.
She immediately looked at Sang Luo.
"Send Xu Shu over to me!"
There was suppressed anger in his clear voice, and the gunpowder smell in his eyes was revealed in an instant, revealing a somewhat intimidating edge.
Sang Luo was frightened by Lu Xuan's terrifying expression.
I've been following the princess for so long, when have I ever been so angry?
His heart trembled, and he quickly knelt down with a thud.
