Chapter 299 Entering the game
"Alright, Siluan, I'm very pleased that you're so kind. I see that your Ji family has indeed been hit by a series of disasters in recent days. Your sister is right. You are Xu'er and Yi'er's uncle. With you here, they will have an extra help."
"You can take the title of Marquis of Yongping. It will also bring happiness to your Ji family!"
The emperor's words rang in his ears. Although Ji Bozhou had guessed this scene long ago, it was also part of his plan.
However, at this moment, he still pretended to be extremely shocked.
"The Emperor has shown such great kindness. The Ji family feels ashamed. How dare Si Luan accept the reward?"
As he spoke, his whole body seemed to be excited, his chest heaving violently and his face flushed red.
The emperor was already quite pleased with Ji Bozhou's attitude just now. Now seeing him so excited about the restoration of his title, he felt even more that he was an unparalleled and wise monarch.
Many years ago, he, Ji Xiangli and Jiang Yuanfeng swore an oath together at the Ji family.
The three of them become one, coexist and help each other, and work together to achieve success.
Previously, Ji Xiangli monopolized power and the emperor himself had been suppressed under him for more than ten years.
Fortunately, I clipped his wings little by little by myself, but it did violate the original oath of symbiosis.
Since the son of the Ji family no longer had such ambitions and seemed to be dying, it would be difficult to save the Ji family's reputation and no longer be the treacherous person. It would be the best of both worlds!
The emperor stepped forward and helped him up from the ground, patting his shoulder gently: "Alright, the Ji family is in such a state now. Not only is your sister sad to see it, but even I can't bear it."
"Don't refuse. Accepting this title will be a way to restore some dignity to the Ji family. Otherwise, your sister will be worried every day in this palace, and she will have trouble sleeping."
Empress Ji looked at the emperor with a rare gentle look, and a sweet feeling rose in her heart.
Your Majesty, after all, still feels sorry for her.
Ji Bozhou got the answer he wanted on this trip, so not long after, when he saw that Queen Ji looked tired, he quickly said goodbye and left the palace.
As soon as Ji Bozhou left, Empress Ji was supported by Miao Yue and was about to go to rest.
At this time, a eunuch with a little mud on his body hurried into the hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Empress." He saluted the Emperor and then said anxiously, "Prince Jin and the Princess went to the Eastern Palace. I saw that the Princess and the Prince opened the door together, and now they have remained in the Eastern Palace..."
The emperor, who was originally very grateful to Ji Bozhou and felt extremely relieved, immediately looked at the person in front of him.
His heart sank rapidly and he was suddenly hung in the air above the cliff.
He frowned and asked anxiously, "When did this happen?"
"About an hour ago."
The emperor quickly glanced at He Yuanguang beside him and said, "Hurry up and send someone to inform Lord Jiang and ask him to think of a plan to prevent it!"
He Yuanguang glanced at the emperor's nervous expression and carefully reminded him, "Lord Jiang has asked for leave due to illness..."
The emperor paused and glanced at He Yuanguang impatiently, "We have to send someone to notify them!"
The emperor was extremely anxious. He looked at the eunuch who had come to report the news. Seeing that he was covered in mud, he thought that he must have escaped by some inappropriate method.
He immediately glanced at him coldly and said, "Go back to the East Palace and keep an eye on it!"
Empress Ji was originally extremely sleepy, but now when she heard the servants convey the words of the Eastern Palace, she found that the emperor was even more angry than she had been before when she heard about the Eastern Palace, and she couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Why is the Emperor so angry? It's only natural for Prince Jin and Princess Consort to visit the Crown Prince. If you don't want them to go, just give the Crown Prince a verbal order. Why get so angry?"
The emperor glanced at the queen who was unaware of what was going on around her, and his heart was in a mess.
On the surface, he managed to put on a calm smile, "I'm not angry, I just think Yan'er has been in poor health these days. If Prince Jin and Princess disturb him, I'm afraid he'll get sick again..."
Before she could finish her words, Empress Ji's face suddenly fell. She didn't care about the intimacy she had finally restored with the Emperor, and said dissatisfiedly, "The Emperor is worried about the son of the Eastern Palace, but doesn't care about our Xu'er. How depressed has he become these days because of you? He's still thinking about the Eastern Palace's gossip all day long..."
Listening to Empress Ji's complaints, the emperor became even more upset.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to argue, he heard another call at the door.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!"
Two palace servants came in, limping, and it looked like they had just been beaten with a stick.
Neither the emperor nor the empress was in a good mood. Looking at the clothes of the two people, they knew that they were the people they had placed in the East Palace at that time.
The emperor said unhappily, "What's the matter?"
The eunuch could naturally hear the emperor's unfriendly tone and kowtowed quickly, "Your Majesty, we two servants have come here on the orders of Prince Jin. The Crown Prince was assassinated in the Eastern Palace, but fortunately, he escaped the disaster thanks to the protection of Prince Jin's guards. As a result, the prince was furious and punished many palace servants in the Eastern Palace. He asked me to report this to Your Majesty and ask you to send someone to protect the Crown Prince..."
As the eunuch spoke, his voice became softer and softer, and finally he lowered his head to the ground, not daring to raise it at all.
The emperor clenched his fists tightly and spoke through gritted teeth, "So, you are all helping Prince Jin and passing on a message to me?"
"I dare not!" The two palace servants trembled with fear.
The emperor didn't know whether Jiang Xing had seen through something and did this on purpose, or he knew nothing about it. He just thought that he was the emperor, so he randomly sent two people over and asked him to help rescue the prince.
He gave He Yuanguang a look, and the two people who reported the news were quickly taken away.
But at the moment, he really had no choice and had to send someone to resolve the matter.
"Your Majesty, someone dared to assassinate the Crown Prince while he was in the Eastern Palace? Is this true or false?" The Queen's heart was in turmoil, but she also felt a little secretly proud.
"I think we should send two eunuchs to take a look first to see if it's true or not. Perhaps the Crown Prince has gone mad because of his chaotic thoughts and said something on purpose, or perhaps Prince Jin and the Princess made a misjudgment on their first visit..."
Just two days after I had that dream about Lu Siyu, the prince was assassinated.
In the dream, wasn’t Lu Siyu so powerful?
Then why didn't she help her son kill the murderer?
It seems that we still cannot defeat the people in the world of the living!
I just hope that the sickly person can be killed!
The emperor glanced at Queen Ji and felt a little disappointed with her unconcealed look.
Even with such a big thing happening, she, as the queen mother, didn't even put on a show. If all the officials knew about this, they would probably think her position was too stable!
He called out sharply, "Pei Fan!"
Pei Fan, who had been waiting outside the door, came in immediately: "Your Majesty!"
"Take the Jinwu Guards and answer Prince Jin's call to find out who the assassin he's talking about is!"
Pei Fan was stunned for a moment after hearing the emperor's angry order.
I wonder if the emperor’s anger is because the prince was killed, or for some other reason?
Therefore, he immediately asked, "Your Majesty, are you not going?"
The prince being murdered is such a serious matter, as a father, shouldn't you go and take a look?
After asking this question, the emperor understood.
He immediately replied, "I will go with you!"
If he didn't go, wouldn't it expose his father's indifference to his son?
Especially, Prince Jin and the Princess were still there.
The emperor and Pei Fan had just walked ten steps away when they heard Miao Yue's crying and shouting behind them.
