Chapter 319 Kill
The sound of fighting outside woke Lu Xuan up. When she saw that Jiang Xing was not around, she put on a thin shirt and ran out.
"What's going on? Who's fighting outside the palace? There are so many people, is it the prince?"
As she ran, she asked Sang Luo beside her.
"Princess, the prince took his men away early this morning and specifically instructed not to disturb your sleep. Since they are outside the palace, don't go to see them. It must be someone else."
Lu Xuan glanced at Sang Luo, a mocking expression on his face. "When did you start to like lying to me so much? Who else but the prince could mobilize so many troops at the gate of the mansion? He must have been ambushed as soon as he left the house!"
Sang Luo was speechless. Although she was anxious, she could only follow Lu Xuan out. If it really was the prince, it would be terrible!
I can only find a way to protect the princess.
"Whoosh!"
"clang!"
"..."
The sounds of arrows flying through the air and weapons clashing could be heard continuously. Lu Xuan was frightened when he saw that a huge battle had already broken out in front of the mansion gate.
Jiang Xingzheng was running towards the mansion under the escort of the guards.
After all, he couldn't expose his force in the street.
The archers arranged on the tower of the palace took effect. Within a quarter of an hour, many of Ji Bozhou's archers had been shot dead.
However, Jiang Xing was still a little depressed. Many of the palace guards were brought back from the Longchuan Army, so their fighting power was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary guards.
However, this time, Ji Bozhou caused many casualties, and these were the soldiers he had to take care of.
Seeing Lu Xuan coming out, he quickly yelled, "Go back!"
Lu Xuan didn't listen to him and came forward to ask, "Who is outside? How dare you openly attack Prince Jin's Mansion!"
There was fire in Jiang Xing's eyes.
"Ji Bozhou!"
Hearing the answer, Lu Xuan became furious and rushed out.
When Ji Bozhou saw the familiar figure hurrying out, he immediately stopped the archer.
“Wish!”
He ran forward hurriedly.
Jiang Xing was anxious and angry that Lu Xuan ran out without caring about her own safety at such a critical moment, so he had to turn back to protect her from being hurt by the sharp weapon.
Lu Xuan stepped out of the mansion, drew the sword from the guard beside him, and pointed it at Ji Bozhou, "You dare to murder the prince in the street? Do you know what this crime is?!"
Seeing her come out and accuse her without asking the reason, Ji Bozhou immediately felt unhappy.
His face turned cold. "Oh, what crime? Does that mean you, the Prince Jin's Mansion, can betray us and murder us at will?! Even the lives of ordinary people are still ours. How can you trample on them so arrogantly?"
Jiang Xing followed behind Lu Xuan and sneered, "I didn't expect that the Ji family, who once held many lives in their hands, could say such things. Times have really changed."
At this moment, Jiang Xing quickly seized the opportunity, looked sideways at Feixing, and gave him a secret signal.
Ji Bozhou was about to retort, but unexpectedly, a figure rushed towards him quickly.
Feixing holds a long sword in his hand, determined to take someone's head.
Ji Bozhou was frightened and took a few steps back. He immediately stood up to resist, and the two of them quickly turned into several afterimages in front of the carriage.
Seeing that Ji Bozhou was in danger, the guards around him immediately jumped into the battle to block Fei Xing's pressing killing moves for him.
How could Ji Bozhou be Feixing's opponent?
The swords clashed, and several times, Feixing's sword tip pointed directly at Ji Bozhou's heart.
Knowing that he had the upper hand and worried that the guards around him could not defeat Feixing, Ji Bozhou signaled the people on the roof to continue shooting arrows. However, the moment he looked up, he was distracted.
Wish is also here.
Only she can cure her father. If she dies, there will be nothing she can do.
If you shoot an arrow...
In the end, reason triumphed over anger.
Ji Bozhou shouted to the guards around him, "Protect me, retreat!"
Where there is life, there is hope!
The crossbowmen on the rooftops of the streets outside the palace saw that Ji Bozhou was forced to flee, but they did not let them shoot. They looked at each other in confusion.
Taking advantage of this distraction, the archers of the palace seized the opportunity and immediately fired at Ji Bozhou's crossbowmen again.
In an instant, many people fell down one after another.
At this time, Ji Bozhou's remaining archers immediately followed his carriage and retreated quickly.
Lu Xuan looked at the people fleeing from the rooftop and ordered the guards around him, "Capture a few of them alive and bring them to the emperor to file a complaint!"
"Wait!" Jiang Xing stopped the man with one hand.
"There's no need to capture him alive. Keeping him here would be a waste of the palace's food. Ji Bozhou's title of Marquis has been restored. You don't need to guess. It must be Empress Ji's whispering that has taken effect again. At this critical juncture, can the Emperor trust his brother? How can filing a complaint with the Emperor compare to the satisfaction of revenge?"
There was a hint of darkness in the corners of his eyes, "The Ji family and the palace are always inextricably linked. On the surface, they seem to be unrelated, but I feel that they are still birds of a feather.
Today, Ji Bozhou came to stir up trouble, saying that I had someone kill Ji Xiangli, which is why he is now bedridden and unconscious. If we file a complaint with the emperor, and the emperor asks about it, what if they insist that it was Prince Jin's mansion that killed Ji Xiangli?
Even though it was a frame-up, after all, so many people have spread the word, and there is evidence. Furthermore, if the emperor wants to thoroughly investigate the truth, we won't be able to hide many of the things we did. Not only will we not be able to get revenge, but we'll also be gossiped about."
He ordered Fei Xing to clean up the mess, and took Lu Xuan in his arms as they walked towards the mansion. "I have to investigate this matter first..."
Jiang Xing did not mention entering the palace again.
He was indeed worried about his mother's situation.
But only Ah Xuan can solve this problem. If he goes into the palace with Ah Xuan now, it will only increase her danger.
I'm afraid I can only make a decision after Axuan gets better.
Let's just maintain a delicate balance with the palace for now...
After Feixing cleaned up the mess outside the palace, he was immediately called over by Jiang Xing.
"Arrange personnel to investigate Ji Xiangli's previous murder and find out who is behind this framing of the palace!"
……
Ji Bozhou was attacked by Feixing outside the palace and almost fell under the sword several times.
If it weren't for the people around him who sacrificed their lives to protect him, he would have died long ago.
At this moment, he was being escorted back to the mansion by several wounded guards. Rather than guilt, the hatred in his heart was stronger.
He has also practiced some martial arts, how can he be useless?
If I hadn't thought of keeping Yuanyuan to save my father, how could I have lost this battle?
Since force didn't work, he had to find another way.
One day, he would make sure that the entire Prince Jin's Mansion and Yuanyuan would no longer be able to refuse any of his arrangements!
Ji Bozhou was immersed in his plan of how to take everything back.
However, at this moment, a sound of horse hooves came hurriedly towards him and then stopped outside the car.
"My Lord, the Emperor has issued an order, ordering you to enter the palace immediately!" Ji An tightened the reins, his voice rough and urgent.
"Enter the palace? Can you explain the reason?"
Why did the emperor let him into the palace at this time?
Did he get discovered yesterday when he secretly instigated the Third Prince to attack the Crown Prince?
"The eunuch who delivered the decree said that the Empress wanted to see you, but he didn't say anything else."
"Okay, got it."
Ji Bozhou lowered his head and glanced at his somewhat disheveled clothes, as well as the bloodstains of the guards on them.
He asked the injured guards around him to return home first, and he changed his clothes in the carriage and entered the palace with Ji An.
Jiang Yuanfeng also received the news of entering the palace.
After being severely injured by Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness in the palace yesterday, he felt that his health had plummeted.
Previously, he was attacked by hundreds of ghosts in Ji's mansion and his heart was injured by Lu Xuan. He stayed in the palace until dark yesterday before returning home. Now his internal organs are still aching. He didn't expect that he would be allowed to enter the palace again so soon.
He frowned and looked at the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict, "But Prince Jin and Princess Consort have entered the palace again?"
"Prince Jin and the Princess did not enter the palace."
Jiang Yuanfeng's brows furrowed, and his voice grew colder. "Then why did the Emperor summon me to the palace?"
The eunuch bowed and said, "It is because of the Empress that they invite you to come to the palace."
Queen Ji?
Thinking of Empress Ji, Jiang Yuanfeng subconsciously felt that the emperor must be making a fuss again and it would not be a big deal.
After all, the emperor had done too many foolish things for the trivial matters of Empress Ji.
It was only in recent months that I became a little more restrained. I no longer believed her one-sided words and let her control me like I did in the past.
Jiang Yuanfeng was too lazy to clean up and just walked into the palace with a dissatisfied look on his face.
He wanted to see what tricks this couple would get up to!
However, when he arrived before the emperor and saw the situation clearly, he was suddenly shocked and sighed, realizing that he had been careless!
