Chapter 120 Strange Dream
"Yes! It is true!" Jiang Xing paused. "Princess, are you trying to say that the Crown Prince asked the old uncle to find me because the Crown Princess found me?"
"Your Highness, do you still remember if there were any other unusual things that day? Why did the Crown Princess ask you to take the Imperial Grandson away? Can you still recall it?"
Jiang Xing meditated as he spoke, "At that time, the Emperor's sister-in-law came to me less than half an hour before the wedding ceremony and said that the Crown Prince had just taken a concubine and that he might not visit her and the Emperor's grandson for the next few days. She was worried that the Emperor's grandson would not be able to accept it, so she asked me to take her back to the Duke's Mansion to stay for a few days."
"Father only took a concubine. The emperor's grandson was only four or five years old at the time. How could he not accept it?"
Jiang Xing suddenly looked at Lu Xuan in shock: "So the Empress's wife didn't tell me something at the time, and there was actually another hidden secret?!"
Lu Xuan nodded. "Old Uncle Song said that the Crown Princess was killed by the Crown Prince. I guess at that time, a conflict broke out between the two of them. The Crown Princess anticipated that something was wrong, so she wanted the prince to take the emperor's grandson away in advance!"
"But I..." Jiang Xing was suddenly stunned and felt a chill in his heart.
"But I told this to my mother, who was also present. She thought it was just jealousy from my sister-in-law, and it was just a minor quarrel!"
At this moment, the blood in his body stopped for a moment. "At that time, the emperor's sister-in-law was actually passing on a message to me. At that time, she actually knew that her fate was not good, so she was entrusting her son to me!"
Lu Xuan's expression was equally heavy: "Yes, sister hopes that the prince will protect the prince!"
After saying this, Jiang Xing's pupils suddenly shrank. His face turned pale and he suddenly looked at Lu Xuan: "What the princess told me yesterday about Concubine Yun, did you really mean it?!"
"When has Your Majesty ever seen me joke about these things?"
Jiang Xing stood up and took two steps back: "So, the prince has been poisoned?!"
His throat rolled with bitterness: "No, I must quickly send someone to check on the prince to see if he has been poisoned! I cannot let my cousin Siyu down!"
Lu Xuan pushed him back to his seat and asked, "Is Your Majesty confused?"
"Seven days ago, when the Duke's Mansion recognized my relatives, I received a gift from the Crown Prince!"
Jiang Xing came back to his senses in an instant: "Yes! I almost forgot."
He thought about it and called out to the door, "Xuan Ge!"
"Here! Your Majesty!"
"Go to the East Palace for me and see if there is anything wrong with the Crown Prince?"
"Yes!"
Xuan Ge went out.
Jiang Xing was worried and confused, but now he finally felt a little calmer.
Lu Xuan looked at him with some concern: "Your Highness, you should first investigate the matter at the Marquis' Mansion. If there was anything unusual with the Crown Prince, the news would have been out long ago! I'm sure the poison should have been cured!"
She continued, "The Emperor loved Sister Chongsi Yu so much. If he had killed her with his own hands, he would have felt extremely guilty. That's why he values the Duke's Mansion so much!"
Jiang Xing crossed his arms and thought, "He married Empress Ji, and now his favorite son is the Third Prince. I'm afraid the Crown Prince's life in the palace is not so easy.
But now is not the time to care about the Crown Prince. If he contacts her too frequently, the Emperor will think he has ulterior motives, which will be disadvantageous to him!"
Lu Xuan tapped her fingers on the table. "Actually, things are very clear now. As long as the Ji family falls, the dangers facing the prince, me, and the crown prince will all be resolved!"
After a long time, Jiang Xing finally took a deep breath and said, "Well, a little impatience can ruin a big plan."
The two of them finished their discussion and had not sat for a quarter of an hour when Feixing quickly entered Jinyuan.
He looked at Jiang Xing and Lu Xuan with some embarrassment, and seemed to be hesitant to speak for a long time.
"Since you're here, just tell me if you have something to say!" Jiang Xing glanced at him with some dissatisfaction.
"Well, that..." Fei Xing looked at Jiang Xing flatteringly and embarrassedly. You asked me to say this yourself.
"Princess, Prince Ji is at the gate of the palace and wants to see you..."
Feixing scratched his head, chuckled, and avoided Jiang Xing's glare.
Lu Xuan felt a sinking feeling in his heart for no apparent reason.
Is Jiang Xing going to be angry again?
"Well...if you're worried, you can go with me to see him." Lu Xuan said softly.
Jiang Xing was indeed unhappy at this time.
I'm still at home, but he didn't ask me to meet the princess directly. Doesn't he take me seriously?
It’s a hundred times more excessive than Shen Yuanci’s last time!
And as for Ji Bozhou, he actually knew what Lu Xuan was thinking.
But I just hate this person because he is like a plaster that can’t be removed!
Don't blame him for harassing A Xuan in front of him!
Jiang Xing gave a cold smile: "Well, then let's go meet him!"
Xiao Kui was called into the dormitory and quickly cleaned up for Lu Xuan.
Jiang Xing was waiting for her at the door. When she walked to him, he put his arm around her shoulders very naturally.
Lu Xuan's body suddenly stiffened, and even his steps slowed down by half a step.
"Princess, don't panic. You promised me how to behave in front of outsiders!"
Lu Xuan nodded slightly. For some reason, his hands and arms were warm, but the words he spoke made her feel completely cold.
Ji Bozhou was arranged to wait in the side hall of the palace.
There were dark circles under his eyes, indicating he hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.
I dream about Yuanyuan every day. I dream that I let her down and then I get the retribution.
He really couldn't stand it anymore. He missed her so much every day that his heart was broken and his head was splitting. She was like a medicine that could relieve his pain.
So even though he knew that she might be investigating the Ji family and might have a feud with the Ji family, he still wanted to come and see her regardless of his own safety.
A pink and white skirt appeared at the corner outside the door. He stood up involuntarily, and his heart, which had been silent for many days, began to beat violently.
“Wish!”
However, just as he exclaimed in surprise, he saw another corner of a dark green robe embroidered with a gold python appear next to the pink and white dress.
Jiang Xing put his arm around Lu Xuan's waist and walked towards her in an intimate manner.
Ji Bozhou's eyes flashed with anger, but he still quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Xing nodded, interlocked his fingers with Lu Xuan, and sat in two seats at the main table.
Ji Bozhou looked at the hands clasped together, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly.
Jealousy instantly twisted his thoughts. He didn't even glance at Jiang Xing again. Lu Xuan's shadow filled his eyes. "Yuanyuan, are you used to living in the palace?"
"It's better than getting used to it in the Marquis' Mansion!" Jiang Xing answered casually without waiting for Lu Xuan to reply.
He leaned back in his chair, legs stretched out, looking rather disrespectful.
But his nonchalant attitude seemed justifiable considering his reputation as a playboy.
A sharp light flashed in Ji Bozhou's eyes, but was quickly suppressed by him.
He smiled, lowered his head and laughed at himself: "Yes, I deserve it for disappointing Yuanyuan."
"You should know that I am General Lu's daughter, right? The Duke's Mansion and the Ji family have always been at odds, so why are you still entangled?" The speaker was Lu Xuan, and his voice was cold and indifferent, as if to keep people at a distance.
When Jiang Xing heard this, his expression eased a lot.
He gave a playful laugh, and his cynical look was even more exaggerated in front of the reserved Ji Bozhou.
Ji Bozhou actually wanted Jiang to walk. If he didn't walk, how could he say many things?
But this man just sat there shamelessly, motionless, and his dissolute and arrogant look made his jealousy and anger rise and fall.
The three of them were silent for a long time, and Ji Bozhou decided to speak.
"I dream of you every day. I dreamed that you became the Crown Prince's wife and we had a child. But the child and you were killed by the Third Prince... and in the end, I got my comeuppance!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Xing's expression changed instantly.
Why is this dream exactly the same as Axuan’s dream?
Why have I never had such a dream?
For some reason, he suddenly felt a vague sense of unease.
Countless doubts also arose in Lu Xuan's mind.
He actually dreamed about it?!
