Chapter 106 Secret Meeting
When Song Chuchu woke up, it was already dawn.
Ever since she knew that no one would come to this quiet courtyard and the third prince had been locked up for two months, her life became increasingly lazy.
However, when she got up, she found that the maids had disappeared, and the two servants who used to stand like wooden statues at the door were also nowhere to be seen.
A figure fell from the beam, giving her a fright.
"Miss Song, someone wants to see you. Would you like to come with us?"
Song Chuchu suddenly became alert: "Who are you? Who do you want to see?"
Wubai didn't want to talk to her too much, so he knocked her out with a palm.
Inside the Xuanyuan Temple, in a gorgeous secret room in the Sanqing Hall, Song Chuchu slowly woke up.
Seeing the unfamiliar figure in front of her, she was panicked and even her tone was tense.
"Who are you? Where is this?"
An extremely ugly and somewhat old face turned in front of him.
Song Chuchu suddenly looked down upon him.
Her fear was tempered by a hint of arrogance: "I am the wife of a dignified prince, and you actually kidnapped me. Aren't you afraid that the Marquis' Mansion will cause trouble for you?"
"Hahaha……"
The man in front of her looked at her mockingly, as if she had heard a joke: "I'm afraid Ji Xiangli is really hoping that I'll kill you out there? That way, the Marquis' Mansion will have a big worry solved!"
Having her situation exposed, Song Chuchu felt a little embarrassed and angry: "Don't try to scare me with these words! If you say I'm useless, then why did you capture me?"
The old man in front of her pushed a cup of tea in front of her: "Madam, do you know Yun Xun?"
Surprise flashed across Song Chuchu's eyes: "You know Yun Xun?!"
She thought about it and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
"You can call me Jiang Yuan."
"Jiang Yuan?" Song Chuchu was stunned for a moment: "You and Yun Xun are both from the same sect?"
Jiang Yuanfeng nodded: "Shenjimen!"
Song Chuchu suddenly became interested: "I know Yun Xun, she is my adoptive mother!"
Jiang Yuanfeng looked at her seriously, as if he wanted to find any trace of Yun Xun's existence on her.
"What kind of person do you think she is?"
"What kind of person?" Song Chuchu sneered, "A hypocritical person!"
Hatred shone in her eyes: "Fortunately she died a long time ago, otherwise I would have cut her into pieces!"
Jiang Yuanfeng felt disgusted, but he remained calm on the surface. "You went to the capital to look for your relatives. Were there any other people from the Shenji Sect with you?"
If his guess was correct, Yu Yin should have come to Beijing with this Song Chuchu!
I had placed a forbidden spell on her many years ago, so she shouldn't be able to break it! I just don't know if she taught Lu Xuan the mysterious arts!
Song Chuchu thought of Nanny Yu who came to Beijing with her, but she was so unpresentable and a cripple. Wouldn't it be a loss of status for her to tell her?
After all, ever since she came to Beijing, she had deliberately drawn a clear line with Nanny Yu, and claimed to everyone that she had come back alone to find her relatives!
The person in front of him was from the same sect as Nanny Yu. If he felt like Lu Xuan that he had not taken good care of Nanny Yu because of her injuries, would he kill him right now?
So she said, "No! I came to the capital by myself with a few maids! But later on, some of those maids fell ill, and some died while trying to protect me!"
"Maid?" Jiang Yuanfeng was puzzled.
When did the Shenji Sect ever use maids?
This is not Yun Xun's style!
He had already discovered the woman's lies, so he simply asked directly, "Where is Yu Yin?"
"Yu Yin?" Song Chuchu looked puzzled. "I don't know this person!"
She really didn't know what Nanny Yu's real name was, so she didn't even think about it at the moment!
Seeing how vain she was, Jiang Yuanfeng sighed for Yun Xun's misjudgment and wondered if Yu Yin was really dead too?
If she died too, then it could be concluded that Lu Xuan really didn't know any profound arts!
Song Chuchu's pursuit of fame and gain made Jiang Yuanfeng feel annoyed. He waved his hand and called Wu Bai over: "Send this Miss Song back home!"
Seeing that she was going to be taken back so soon and she hadn't gotten any benefits yet, Song Chuchu immediately asked: "Do you know the Third Prince? Jiang Yuan, take me to see the Third Prince. I want to be the Queen in the future. After this is done..."
However, before she could finish her words, Jiang Yuanfeng could no longer hold back and knocked her unconscious with his own hands!
Wu Bai clasped his fists and said, "I'll send her back immediately!"
Jiang Yuanfeng tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his true face.
"Be careful of the people in the Marquis' Mansion!"
He turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that Lu Xuan doesn't know any mysterious arts, so the person who saved Jiang Xing before must be Xu Bai without a doubt!
……
After Lu Xuan's recognition of his relatives, Jiang Xing no longer had any worries, so he went to court again.
Because of the previous case, the emperor and his ministers thought he was there to express their gratitude, so they did not hold him back.
Ji Xiangli was different. As long as his son was not released from prison, he would always be worried when he saw Jiang Xing coming.
So when he saw Jiang Xing arriving late, he couldn't help but sneer, "Your Highness has married a noble lady from a high-class family, and the Emperor has bestowed upon him so many gifts. Why doesn't he stay at home and enjoy the pleasures of his life like he used to? It's better for us, the officials, to handle the arduous duties of attending court!"
After saying this, all the ministers looked at Jiang Xing with a little more contempt.
Jiang Xing smiled carefreely: "No, no, no, I still have to contribute to the court. Otherwise, I would be ashamed to accept the salary from the people!"
The emperor heard these words just as he stepped onto the throne.
He smiled and said, "Yun Ce has received the favor from the princess, so he is trying to show his ability. He has even become more diligent in attending court!"
Jiang Xing bowed and saluted: "Yes, my royal brother!"
"Thank you for your concern, my Royal Highness. There is a thief in Daliang who is causing chaos within the royal family and plotting to murder the royal family. Therefore, it is my duty to help you deal with the thief Ji Cheng!"
The hall fell into deathly silence.
Just come as you say?
At least let everyone get acclimated and warm up the atmosphere, right?!
Jiang Xing smiled dryly, "Lord Huang submitted the case file more than ten days ago. I believe that the emperor has been busy with state affairs and has not had time to deal with it. So today, I have come to help the emperor with this case!"
"I understand the difficulties my brother faces. After all, they are from the Empress's mother's family, and dealing with them involves many human relationships! However, I also remember the promise I made to the Emperor. My brother is a wise ruler, and I believe he will keep his word and restore justice to the world!"
The emperor was a little embarrassed by Jiang Xing's words: "Yes, I have been busy with official duties recently and I really forgot about this matter!"
He glared at He Yuanguang beside him and said, "You old man, you didn't even remind me that you need to be taught a lesson when you come down!"
Jiang Xing kept his body bent. "According to Daliang law, murdering a clan member is punishable by beheading, and the entire nine clans will be exterminated at the same time!"
The ministers in the hall were sweating profusely.
Is this Prince Jin a young and foolish man?
Didn’t you see that the Emperor hasn’t even spoken yet?!
The Ji family is probably much more important in Beijing now than this unknown prince!
Jiang Xing didn't care what others were thinking. He glanced at Lord Ji and said, "But because the Ji family is an important official of Daliang and has made great contributions to the country, I will spare their entire clan! Life for life, killing Ji Cheng alone is enough. After all, I still have a merciful heart!"
After hearing Jiang Xing's arrogant words, Lord Ji Hou became furious.
Does Jiang Xing really think that he is a prince who is as precious as gold and jade?
In the emperor's heart, his daughter and grandson are the most important people in his heart!
He turned his head and glanced at the Minister of Revenue behind him.
Minister of Revenue Chang Wenji then stepped forward, holding a sceptre and saying, "Your Majesty, although Lord Huang did find some evidence in this case, Ji Cheng is not unforgivable. He has devoted all his energy and efforts to serving the country and the people since he took office!"
He glanced at Jiang Xing. "Your Highness Prince Jin has a reputation for extravagance and extravagance. Lord Ji Cheng, as a councilor of the Imperial Secretariat, has reviewed memorials for the emperor and is naturally aware of the hardships the people live in! Your Highness's wedding alone could provide a year's worth of food for the people of three provinces. Such extravagance is why Ji Cheng is forced to sacrifice himself for the people. His Majesty, what a mistake!
After Chang Wenji finished speaking, many ministers behind him felt that his words made sense and stood up one after another.
"It's certainly wrong for him to send someone to murder the prince, but everything he did was for the sake of the country and the people. This is a pure love for the people, and heaven can bear witness to it!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, even if Lord Ji has no merits, he has worked hard. Considering his loyalty to the emperor and the country, please forgive him this time!"
