Chapter 136 Assassination
"I have a bad feeling."
Lu Xuan pinched his fingers to tell a fortune, but after he finished, he couldn't relax his brows.
"The situation has changed. It's the Kan hexagram. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find this Miss Sun!"
Jiang Xing's heart sank.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and patted Xuan Ge's shoulder heavily: "Lord Ji has already met Uncle Yuan on the street today. If it's hard to find him, it's probably related to what happened this afternoon!"
"To avoid any further complications, I will bring the old man to the palace at dawn. If I can bring Sun Xiaoyue back, I will do so. If I can't... I will return safely!"
"Yes!"
I ran into Lord Ji and Mustard during the day.
As early as when they were in the carriage, Lu Xuan told Jiang Xing the identity of this person.
I guess it was at that time that they had already started to respond!
When we returned to the palace, it was already noon.
The two of them sat in silence for two hours, but Xuan Ge did not come back with anyone.
Jiang Xing and Lu Xuan's hearts sank to the bottom.
But the opportunity is rare, so I can only enter the palace with the help of Old Man Yuan and the previous evidence.
At the hour of Mao, Jiang Xing changed into his official robes for attending court.
Ever since returning from the villa, Lu Xuan's eyelids have been twitching.
So at this moment, she personally took Old Man Yuan and Jiang Xing with her and watched them get on the carriage to the palace.
Jiang Xing opened the car curtains in the car: "Princess, go back and get some sleep. There will be good news!"
At this moment, a sharp white light broke through the air, and Lu Xuan was pushed hard by Jiang Xing's outstretched hand. Something cold brushed past his ear.
It's the arrow from the crossbow!
The sharp sound of wind whistled beside his ears, Lu Xuan's pupils dilated in an instant, and his heart continued to fall into the abyss.
The arrow went straight towards Jiang Xing's forehead!
The heartbeats, one after another, were resounding.
The arrowhead reflected a chilling cold light. At that moment, it seemed as if all the destructive poisons in the world were gathered on it, and with the ruthlessness and cruelty of hell, it headed towards the goal that had been anchored to its life.
Lu Xuan's throat was full of wind, her mind was blank, and she didn't even scream.
No, that won’t happen. Doesn’t Jiang Xing have the Emperor’s Purple Aura?
He won't die!
suddenly.
"Boom" sound.
I could hear the buzzing sound of arrows hitting the wall.
Lu Xuan quickly focused on the person in front of him.
Fortunately, he knows martial arts, and fortunately, he hid!
Jiang Xing turned his head to avoid the assassination.
Lu Xuan's limbs went limp.
However, Jiang Xing's gaze was locked behind her at this moment.
Lu Xuan looked back suddenly and saw a man in black leaping on the roof of the palace, followed by Fei Xing and two other secret guards.
Jiang Xing retracted his gaze, looked at Lu Xuan's scratched and bleeding ear, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Lu Xuan had no time to care about this: "I was worried that the evidence was not enough, but now it is enough!"
She cast a talisman to immobilize the person, and it immediately flew towards the assassin in black.
Feixing was just sighing that the man sent by the Marquis' Mansion this time was a master, when the next second, the man's body stiffened and fell straight down.
Feixing and the two secret guards were quick-witted and quick-handed, and immediately jumped up in one leap.
The three of them caught the man on the ground.
After arresting the killer, Fei Xing brought him to Jiang Xing and Lu Xuan.
He pulled the face towel, and Lu Xuan suddenly gasped.
The person has committed suicide by biting himself with poison!
At that moment, the man's soul left his body.
This killer was unlucky as he saw Lu Xuan as soon as he left his body.
The killer was not even afraid of death, but now he knew what was more terrifying than death.
The princess he wanted to kill during his lifetime looked no different from a mortal before her death.
Even after his death, he could still see the princess in golden light, as if she was the one he wanted to surrender to. A code name automatically emerged in his mind: the leader of the Shenji Sect.
The killer's spirit was almost crying with fear, and hurriedly said, "Master, it wasn't me who shot the arrow, it was Mustard Seed. I was just trying to distract you..."
Lu Xuan looked towards the east wall of the palace, and sure enough, he saw a dark shadow escaping.
The road to reincarnation had already appeared. The killer was about to leave when Lu Xuan grabbed him and said, "Sun Xiaoyue, was she killed by you?"
The killer was stunned for a moment: "No, not killed, alive!"
Lu Xuan felt a little relieved after receiving a positive answer. However, he didn't treat him well and slapped him in the face, sending him into the cycle of reincarnation.
She didn't have time to deal with these things at the moment, and hurriedly said to Jiang Xing: "Hurry up! The Ji family seems to know about our actions!"
Because Lu Xuan looks like the late queen, she cannot enter the palace to meet the emperor.
But the killer and Mustard came over, obviously knowing their plan.
Jiang Xing must enter the palace before Jiezi goes back to report the news, otherwise even entering the palace will become a hassle!
She thought about it, hung the jade pendant containing Yuan Fang's ghost on Jiang Xing's waist, and stuffed a few talismans on him.
"I will help you when necessary!"
Feixing rode the carriage at full speed into the palace. Jiang Xing was the first to arrive at the court that day.
When everyone saw that Prince Jin, who had not been seen for many days, was the first to attend the court, the fire of gossip immediately ignited.
Prince Jin actually came to court?
Is the sun rising from the west today?
No, that's not right!
The ministers were thinking about it.
I’m afraid there will be another show to watch today!
Along with everyone else, the emperor who had just entered the palace was also surprised by Jiang Xing's arrival.
But soon, his surprise turned into displeasure.
Could it be that this royal brother is going to make some demands against the Ji family again?
To be honest, he really didn't want to bother.
A few days ago, the Ji family's daughter-in-law put drugs in the water, which caused public outrage. At this juncture, he really didn't want to have a falling out with the queen because of the Ji family's affairs.
The relationship has only been eased for a few days. I hope Prince Jin will not come to complain again!
However, things don't always go as planned.
Although Jiang Xing knew what the emperor was thinking, he also knew that he only wanted to stay in the queen's arms and didn't want to cause any trouble.
However, he is not the kind of person who would endure being bullied and continue to be beaten!
He Yuanguang was also very sensible. As soon as he saw the emperor's expression, he knew what he meant today.
He shook his whisk and immediately shouted in a shrill voice: "If you have a petition, please come forward. If you don't, please leave the court——"
Jiang Xing said quickly: "Brother Emperor, I have a memorial to report!"
The emperor frowned, feeling unhappy, but he still managed to put on a friendly face.
"I haven't seen you in ages. I didn't realize Yun Ce was here today!" He smiled warmly, sitting on the dragon throne, supporting his upper body with his hands. "Yun Ce, what important matter do you want to report today?"
"Today, I, your humble servant, am going to report the Right Counselor of the Imperial Court, Lord Ji Chengji!"
After these words were spoken, the ministers in the hall seemed to have expected this, and instantly a burst of "hiss", "tsk", "sigh" and other sounds were heard.
Jiang Xing raised his voice, angrily saying, "Lord Ji has accepted bribes, sold official positions, abused his power for personal gain, and disregarded human life. This has long been a source of widespread public outcry in the capital, and public resentment is boiling. Today, I, your humble servant, will speak up for the people and present evidence of his evil deeds to the heavens. I beg the Emperor to investigate!"
After saying that, he took out the evidence document he had prepared in advance from his chest.
He Yuanguang walked down from the Sumeru platform, took the document from Jiang Xing's hand, and presented it to the emperor respectfully and carefully.
Lord Ji was also in the court. His face was cold, and his tone unconsciously took on a bit of hostility: "Prince Jin is still holding a grudge and looking for an opportunity to seek revenge, right? The case of harming you is currently being decided by the Emperor, but some details are still unclear. Your Highness is being too impatient!"
Jiang Xing glanced at Lord Ji nonchalantly, "I haven't even mentioned the specific case yet, and you're so certain this is revenge for the previous attempt on my life?"
The gods were fighting, and the hall was silent for a while.
Jiang Xing looked at the emperor on the stage, his expression no longer casual, but solemn. "Your Majesty, your people are oppressed by the Ji family and are indignant. Even though they are talented, they have to die unjustly under the injustice of heaven. I feel sorry for Daliang. It's a pity!"
The emperor's face darkened at the incoherent words, but he also looked a little curious.
He glanced at the pile of evidence briefly, then his gaze fell on Jiang Xing: "Tell me, how did things become so serious that it's a pity for Daliang?"
Lord Ji was about to speak, but Jiang Xing got there first and quickly took over the conversation.
