Chapter 196 Qian Kun
The direction of the prince's palace is southeast of the imperial palace, so one has to exit from the Donghua Gate in the south.
After the two came out of the Tianyi Gate behind the Imperial Garden, Lu Xuan was a little dizzy and was held by Jiang Xing and walked south.
It was a long journey, and the two of them had their own thoughts, so they never spoke to each other again.
When they reached the Huangji Palace, Jiang Xing finally couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "Princess, are you pregnant?"
Lu Xuan blinked, "Pregnant?"
Only then did she remember the lie she had told on the waterside pavilion.
What happened there must have been spread out.
"Who did you hear this from, Your Majesty?"
When Jiang Xing saw that she did not refute, his expression froze for a moment.
The light in his eyes dimmed in an instant.
His heart felt like it had fallen into an endless sea of suffering, with the wind and waves beating against his heart again and again.
He swallowed, his eyes lingering on the figure half a step behind her: "Whose child is it? Shen Yuanci?"
Seeing that he even ran up to her anxiously and grabbed the corner of her clothes in order to get an answer, Lu Xuan couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
When did this guy become so brainless?
I have been recuperating at home these days. If I were really pregnant, the doctor would have informed him long ago!
"Yes, it's Shen Yuanci's!" Lu Xuan was too lazy to explain to him and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
At this moment, she suddenly looked through Jiang Xing's left shoulder and saw a strong and gloomy aura emanating from the other side of the palace wall.
At this moment, Jiang Xing's voice came into his ears again: "So, what are you thinking?"
Seeing the yin energy coming out of the palace wall on the left, Lu Xuan paused and asked, "Where is the left side of this wall?"
Jiang Xing stood beside her, insisting, "You answer me first."
Lu Xuan was annoyed and helpless, so he said angrily: "Your Highness, that was just a temporary solution I made up. Why do you keep harping on it? Don't worry about it!"
She pointed anxiously, "Where on the other side of the wall is that?!"
When Jiang Xing heard her unpleasant words, his eyes lit up and his face instantly showed joy.
An unnoticed smile spread from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes rested quietly on her.
"That side of the wall is the direction of the East Palace. Why did the princess suddenly ask about this place?"
His voice was soft, his brows were relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.
"This is the first time the princess has entered the palace. If it weren't for the unfortunate timing today, I would have taken you there a long time ago..."
But Lu Xuan's focus was not on what he said. She exclaimed in surprise: "Eastern Palace?!"
Isn’t the Eastern Palace where the prince lives?
Jiang Yan?
I never heard of anything he said in my previous life!
Hearing her scream of horror, Jiang Xing frowned: "But is there anything unusual?"
Lu Xuan nodded, "There is yin energy."
In order to avoid causing any disturbance to the palace servants passing by, she stepped forward again.
"Is the prince well these days?"
Without hesitation, Jiang Xing replied solemnly, "Everything is fine! I sent Xuan Ge to check on him earlier, and he's doing fine, just like before."
If there is no difference, then it is not the prince's fault!
Lu Xuan glanced at the wisps of evil energy and thought about the huge mess that had occurred in Kunning Palace today.
In addition, the mysterious person behind the scenes was also in the palace, so he would no longer go to the East Palace.
Otherwise, if a bigger mess happened, I would be hard-pressed to escape unscathed today.
"That's good, but there should be other people living in the direction of the East Palace, right?"
Jiang Xing: "The Imperial Kitchen, Imperial Hospital, Hanlin Academy, etc. are all in that direction. Even in the Eastern Palace, not only the Crown Prince lives there, but also all the palace servants. If the princess is worried, we can go and see the Crown Prince later."
Lu Xuan felt a little relieved, "Let's go back to the palace first."
She turned her head and looked into the distance.
The Qiankun Five Qi Formation was like a huge deep pool, continuously absorbing the yang energy of the entire capital.
The hole torn in Kunning Palace was subtly harmonizing the yin and yang structure of the entire palace.
Some doubts flashed through Lu Xuan's mind again.
The Qiankun Five Qi Formation actually did not include the East Palace!
The East Palace is not blessed by those yang energies.
It seems to be the most normal one.
Why is this?
Are you protecting the East Palace?
Before they could figure out the intention of the person who set up this formation, Lu Xuan and Jiang Xing had already arrived at the palace gate.
Several familiar carriages came into view, and two figures got off the carriages.
It was the Ji family's carriage. Ji Bozhou and Ji Xiangli were leading their servants into the palace.
Lu Xuan understood.
They must have received a message from the palace, and they all rushed to take Ji Qingyan's body back home.
That's why the group was so anxious and came in such a complete group.
When Ji Bozhou saw Lu Xuan and Jiang Xing standing side by side, his eyes were suddenly stung.
How did things come to this?
He and Yuanyuan were clearly still doing fine a few months ago, and they still had such a close relationship...
How did it come to this?
It's like two people who will never meet again in this life...
She even never looked at him again.
Lu Xuan had indeed long since stopped noticing Ji Bozhou. He was just like air.
The little girl's thoughts from the past have long been left in the previous life.
She looked at them, and what she was concerned about was whether the entire Ji family would do anything strange to her after entering the palace today.
After all, now they have no other cards in their hands except Queen Ji and Ji Bozhou.
Seeing Ji Bozhou staring blankly at Lu Xuan and Jiang Xing again, Ji Xiangli pulled him aside and led his men forward to pay their respects. "Greetings to Prince Jin and Princess!"
In terms of status, they were now commoners. When they met Jiang Xing and Lu Xuan, they had to bow.
Ji Bozhou finally reacted when his father pulled him.
He could only reluctantly follow up, "Greetings, Prince Jin and Princess!"
Jiang Xing raised an intriguing smile at the corner of his mouth, and walked past Ji Bozhou leisurely, with a hint of pride across his eyebrows.
Lu Xuan had no intention of staying in the palace, so he nodded slightly and left with Jiang Xing.
After Jiang Xing and Lu Xuan walked away, Ji Xiangli immediately stood up and took the group to Kunning Palace.
After the rumors of incest in the Ji family were spread, the emperor banned men from the Ji family from entering the harem.
But today's incident happened suddenly, and someone died. Kunning Palace is adjacent to the Imperial Garden. The Ji family, thinking that they would not do anything that would bring disgrace to the family during such a time of mourning, agreed to let them enter the palace.
When the group arrived, the emperor and the empress had been waiting in Kunning Palace for a long time.
Empress Ji sat upright on the phoenix chair, while the emperor sat on the dragon chair beside her, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, which made him look sophisticated and majestic.
When Ji Xiangli saw his daughter's expression, he knew that she had cried.
"Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and a thousand years, ...
Ji Xiangli led everyone in the Ji family to bow and kowtow.
The emperor put down his teacup and raised his hand, "Father-in-law, are you all aware of the scandalous deeds Qingyan committed in Kunning Palace today?"
"Scandalous thing?" Ji Xiangli was horrified.
Qingyan had said before that she would make sure Lu Xuan died at this flower viewing banquet no matter what. Now, it was revealed that Qingyan had committed suicide by drowning, but there was actually something scandalous going on?
Ji Xiangli's heart was pounding, and suddenly he had the same signs as the day before he was beaten with a stick in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
