Chapter 220 Imprisonment
Before she could speak, she heard the other party say, "Master Ji, what are you doing?"
The visitor took a look at Lu Xuan's attire and glanced at Ji Bozhou with a half-smile: "Judging from this young man's clothes, he must be from Prince Jin's Mansion. Master Ji, are you still holding a grudge and not even going to let the servants of Prince Jin's Mansion go?"
Ji Bozhou glanced at Shen Yuanci who was walking slowly behind him, and forced a pale smile on his face.
"It turns out to be Lord Shen."
Thinking of the rumor that had spread between Lu Xuan and Shen Yuanci before, he felt that the unhappiness in his heart was almost about to burst out.
But he still controlled his emotions and smiled: "I know that Master Ji has a close relationship with Prince Jin's Mansion. However, this person has been sneaking around in my house. I think he has done something detrimental to the Ji Mansion. Naturally, I have to question him thoroughly."
Shen Yuanci walked forward. He glanced at Lu Xuan, but his eyes fell on Ji Bozhou.
"What did this young man do to provoke a refined man like Master Ji to be so rude."
There was a hint of sarcasm in his expression, as if he was trying to make a big deal out of a small matter.
Seeing Shen Yuanci looking so relaxed, Lu Xuan thought that he didn't recognize him.
But she still had to seize the opportunity and leave here quickly.
So, she hurriedly said, "Master Ji, I just went to the wrong place because I had to go to the bathroom urgently. How can it be considered as a plot to murder the Ji family? The prince is still waiting for me there. Master Ji, please let me go first?"
As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and gently lifted the dagger to the side.
She just hoped that Shen Yuanci's arrival could help her share some of Ji Bozhou's attention.
So that he wouldn't recognize me.
Then, she felt that her current thoughts were a little ridiculous.
Now, no matter whether he recognizes her or not, based on my understanding of him in my previous life, he values the Ji family so much, he will definitely not let her go, right?
Perhaps Ji Bozhou was still hesitant in his heart, and the dagger in his hand was easily moved two inches away by Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was shocked. He didn't expect it to be pushed away so easily.
He felt relieved, bowed, and was about to move forward immediately.
Shen Yuanci's eyes were focused on the dagger, and his heart trembled when he saw this scene.
She had an injury on her foot, so she didn't walk fast.
But just as he took a step, he heard Ji Bozhou's stern shout from behind him.
"Wait!"
A huge force suddenly pulled her back, causing her injured foot to take two steps back, and her face was instantly filled with pain.
Shen Yuanci looked at Lu Xuan suspiciously.
The reactions of Ji Bozhou and the servant just now were not right.
First, a servant dared to directly push away the dagger in Master Ji's hand and planned to leave.
Secondly, Ji Bozhou, who had always been the center of attention, was easily able to push away the dagger. Moreover, he said that the servant was sneaking around, such a small matter, but he did not call other guards in the mansion to punish the servant who he said had committed evil deeds.
Isn't it strange?
Moreover, if a servant from the prince's mansion committed a crime in the Ji family, wouldn't the normal reaction of the master be to bring the person to the prince immediately?
But Master Ji obviously didn't want this servant to leave here and go find the prince...
Based on these points alone, Shen Yuanci believes that there must be a big problem!
He had not originally planned to attend the Ji family's funeral today.
The Ji family abused their power for personal gain and had tried to murder A Xuan many times before. He had always been resentful about this.
However, he didn't expect that two hours ago, he was called back to the house by his father.
It is said that the Emperor and the Empress have both gone, so we cannot make things too awkward now, and all the civil and military officials who were watching before must also go.
So, he had no choice but to follow his father.
But he hadn't seen the prince when he arrived. The reason he showed up here was because he wanted to see if he would run into anyone he knew today...
As he thought about it, his gaze on Lu Xuan's face suddenly became determined.
This boy... actually made him feel somewhat familiar.
Like who?
This person seems to be injured now.
Shen Yuanci had very few ideas in his mind, but at this time, Ji Bozhou had already captured Lu Xuan.
Ji Bozhou looked at him and said, "Brother Yuanci, this is the Ji family's wing. There is a funeral today, so there are not as many servants here as in the front hall. Brother Yuanci, you should hurry over."
His tone was extremely steady, but the strength in his hands increased a lot.
Shen Yuanci nodded and was about to move forward.
But suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Ji Bozhou's slightly red eyes.
This is the trace of sadness just now.
"Brother Siluan seems a little sad."
He deliberately tried to test it.
Ji Bozhou was startled for a moment, then forced a wry smile: "Second sister and Tang'er passed away one after another, how can I not be sad and heartbroken?"
He looked directly at Shen Yuanci, and almost couldn't suppress his impatience and was about to reveal it.
Shen Yuanci's expression froze.
He actually forgot that today was a funeral.
Therefore, he could only bow and say, "I'm sorry for the offense, Brother Siluan. Please accept my condolences."
Having said that, he had no choice but to hide the suspicions in his heart, walked past Ji Bozhou and Lu Xuan, and headed towards the front yard.
But the doubts in my heart became deeper and deeper.
Ji Bozhou, why did you secretly detain a servant from the palace?
And that servant didn't seem that afraid of him...
Now that this has happened, no matter what conflicts the prince had with him before, he still has to find him quickly.
There is almost no one here. If the Ji family wants to do something, there will definitely be no one to help that servant.
As he thought about it, his pace quickened.
Ji Bozhou didn't turn his gaze back to Lu Xuan and let go of her arm until he saw Shen Yuanci's figure completely disappear at the corner of the corridor.
Lu Xuan had been restrained by him tightly, and his arms were already sore and numb.
Coupled with the backlash of the previous curse and the leg injury, he had been standing like this for a long time, and when he was let go like this, he almost fell down.
Fortunately, she was conscious and immediately held onto the pillar to steady herself.
"Are you seriously injured?" Ji Bozhou blurted out.
"No, no." Lu Xuan lowered his head and answered cautiously.
But she didn't expect that the next second, he had already put away the dagger and suddenly pulled her into his arms.
"what--"
Lu Xuan exclaimed subconsciously.
She couldn't help it, and what came out of her throat was clearly a female voice.
"Yuanyuan, I recognized you from the beginning."
A low and slow voice was heard, and Lu Xuan felt his body suddenly become empty, and he was being carried sideways.
There was a loud thunderclap in her chest, and she felt that even the blood in her body had stopped flowing.
Ji Bozhou, he had discovered her a long time ago!
How on earth did he find out?
Lu Xuan just felt that her luck was really bad. Why did she meet him when her body was completely unable to support her to perform the mysterious art again!
Otherwise, she would have been able to immobilize him at this moment and then escape.
Now that she has been discovered, she will not hide it anymore.
"Ji Bozhou, what are you doing? Put me down!"
She struggled desperately, pushing his chest with both hands, trying to make him release his hold.
However, perhaps because she was too weak from her injury or because he was just too strong, she couldn't push him at all.
The shadows of the columns flashed past my eyes quickly.
Seeing Ji Bozhou leading her towards Danbozhai, a strong sense of uneasiness instantly surged into Lu Xuan's heart.
"This is the direction of Danbo Zhai, Ji Bozhou, are you crazy?"
She was anxious and panicked, her hands waving around wildly.
Ji Bozhou found out that she was injured, and brought her to Danbo Zhai at this moment. He would definitely take this opportunity to do something to her!
We can't sit still and wait for death!
Thinking of this, she immediately turned over, opened her mouth, and bit his arm hard.
Ji Bozhou felt pain and moved his right hand.
Lu Xuan's mouth was instantly filled with the taste of blood.
But, to her surprise, even so, he did not let go.
Ji Bozhou's face looked obviously ugly, but he seemed to feel no pain at all and continued to walk forward.
But the possessiveness in those eyes could no longer be suppressed.
