Chapter 282 Settlement of Accounts
When Ji Xiangli learned that Jiang Yuanfeng had gone to the palace, he subconsciously thought that he must have said something to the emperor.
He immediately stepped onto the carriage at Ji Mansion and said to Ji An, "Let's go to Xianyifang!"
Ji An saw that Ji Xiangli had a gloomy face and was trying hard to suppress the anger in his voice.
Not wanting to offend anyone, he immediately replied, "Yes!"
Inside the carriage, Ji Xiangli's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Yesterday, Jiang Yuanfeng came to the house to save Si Luan and was injured as a result. He was originally very grateful.
Who would have thought that this person would immediately change his attitude and deliberately ruin his own business!
Over the years, it was clear that Jiang Yuanfeng himself said at the beginning that he did not care about the level of status, so he was willing to stay in the position of a second-rank official and was unwilling to be promoted.
If I had known this earlier, I should have killed this man when the Ji family was at its peak of power!
He clenched his fists, and fierce wrinkles appeared on his old face.
He knew that Jiang Yuanfeng had always been extremely jealous of the Ji family's power in the past.
He was jealous of the Ji family's numerous disciples and his ability to win the hearts of the people in the court.
Compared to Jiang Yuanfeng's self-centered nature, the Ji family gained immense wealth and power more quickly.
Even if he had the ability of mysterious magic, he would not be able to shake him in the court.
Therefore, there were many small obstacles in secret.
Now that he has gone to see the emperor, he must be worried about the Ji family's comeback.
So, taking advantage of the fact that the emperor had to rely on him, he wanted to directly cut off the Ji family's future.
However, Ji Xiangli has endured for so long, dragging this broken body, just waiting for this opportunity to help Si Luan represent the Ji family and return to the ranks of the noble family.
He, Jiang Yuanfeng, actually dared to cut off the source of the problem!
Just as he was thinking about how to settle the score with Jiang Yuanfeng once and for all, Ji An's cautious voice came.
"Master, we're here."
Ji Xiangli gathered his sleeves, straightened his clothes, and then got off the carriage with a sullen face.
In Jiang's house, Jiang Yuanfeng was lying on the couch, enjoying the singing and dancing of a beautiful woman, while recuperating from his injuries.
Wu Bai came hurriedly to report, "Sir, Ji Xiangli is here!"
Jiang Yuanfeng frowned and raised his eyelids to look at Wubai, "What is this old man doing here again? I've only just started to recover from all these injuries!"
"I don't know, it actually looks quite serious."
A fierce light flashed in Jiang Yuanfeng's eyes. He stretched out his hand and stopped the music and singing from the audience.
"Everyone, go down first!"
"Yes!"
The geishas all retreated.
Jiang Yuanfeng was half leaning on the couch when he saw a man walking in aggressively from the door.
Season's ceremony.
"Master Ji is here again today. What's the matter? How many times have you been to my Jiang residence in the past two days?"
Hearing Jiang Yuanfeng's contemptuous ridicule, Ji Xiangli's face turned gloomy and he walked in with a tense expression.
"Tell your men to retreat! Today, I must settle accounts with you!"
"Settlement of accounts?" Jiang Yuanfeng was stunned.
Seeing him so furious, after thinking for a moment, a look of sarcasm appeared on his face, "Father-in-law Ji, you just asked someone to do something for you, and now you don't want to admit it?"
Ji Xiangli sat down on the chair next to him and said angrily, "Yesterday, you went into the palace and stopped the emperor's order?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yuanfeng immediately understood the intention.
He half-raised himself, then looked at the servants around him and ordered, "Everyone, get out!"
Soon, the servants left together.
Ji Xiangli then stared at him coldly and asked, "I clearly promised you yesterday that I would not leak that news. Moreover, the emperor did not restore the Ji family's title, but only gave Si Luan a title. Why can't you even tolerate this?!"
The raging fire in his chest burned all the way into his eyes, making his dim pupils look somewhat terrifying.
Jiang Yuanfeng was not afraid of his gaze. Instead, he smiled calmly and asked, "Are you trying to find out the whereabouts of me and the emperor?"
Ji Xiangli snorted and did not answer.
Jiang Yuanfeng continued, "You promised me that you wouldn't tell anyone about that, but I also promised you to save your son. I didn't promise you to return the title of Crown Prince to him."
"you!!"
Ji Xiangli looked at Jiang Yuanfeng's shameless look and became furious. He pointed at him fiercely and was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
After a long while, he angrily said, "I said, I won't interfere with your actions, but no matter what method you use, you must get the position of Crown Prince back for Si Luan!"
Jiang Yuanfeng lazily took a cup of tea from the small table beside him and said after a long while, "Shouldn't Father-in-law Ji go to the Emperor about this matter? Why are you looking for me?"
Ji Xiangli was really furious at Jiang Yuanfeng's attitude. He pointed at his nose and growled, "Haven't you always taken advantage of the fact that the emperor had to listen to you and rely on you, so you can do whatever you want? Now at this critical moment, you are pretending to be so arrogant in front of me again. Is that fun?!"
"Oh!" Jiang Yuanfeng put down his teacup and glanced at him. "Father-in-law Ji also knows that the emperor wants to listen to me? Then why does he listen to me and no longer listen to you, Prime Minister Ji? In the past, it was clear that the three of us were one!"
Ji Xiangli did not respond to his sarcastic taunt, but straightened his clothes, with a heavy breath blowing through his nostrils, and a hint of impatience flashed across his face.
Jiang Yuanfeng sneered, "Who is the emperor? Do you think he is a fool? Who is on his side and who is on the side of their own interests? Do you think he can't see it?"
"For so many years, your Ji family has abused their power for personal gain and monopolized it. What have I ever said? And how does the emperor deal with your Ji family? Now that he has finally driven you out of the court, how can he allow another Ji family member to continue to control the imperial power?"
"You!" Ji Xiangli glared angrily and couldn't help but roar loudly, "You told him all this?!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Yuanfeng smiled nonchalantly.
"If it weren't for you..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly, there was a "puff" sound.
There was already a pain in my back.
The dagger hidden in Ji Xiangli's clothes had suddenly stabbed into Jiang Yuanfeng's back.
"Ji Xiangli, you actually dare to kill me? Your Ji family doesn't want to live anymore?!"
"Yesterday I saved your son, and he also wanted to assassinate me. I forgave you for agreeing to my terms, and we've been sworn brothers for years, so I saved him out of your kindness. And now, you're repaying me with hatred?!"
Jiang Yuanfeng's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Ji Xiangli in disbelief. Although he was furious, he also exuded a sense of desolation from the moment he entered the door.
This man was almost old, so he was not on guard at all when he came in.
And now, he actually dared to assassinate me? !
I have endured it for so many years, but today, I actually have the guts to do this!
Hearing Jiang Yuanfeng's fierce roar, Wubai and Yingzi, who had been serving on the roof, rushed down from above.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!"
The two of them hurried towards Jiang Yuanfeng, wanting to see how serious Jiang Yuanfeng's injuries were.
Looking at the anxious expressions of Jiang Yuanfeng and the attendants around him, Ji Xiangli's chest finally slowed down, and a hint of pride appeared in his fierce eyes.
He aimed this sword specifically at the left back.
This is the heart.
He just didn't believe that Jiang Yuanfeng could survive!
As long as he dies, there will be no one around the emperor who can interfere with his decisions!
Ji Xiangli planned to leave immediately while the other servants of Jiang's house had not arrived yet.
But at this moment, Jiang Yuanfeng looked at him for a moment.
She gave him a deep and smug smile.
