Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous
Chapter 120: Forced Marriage
"Your Highness! Lord Zhao! Lord, save me!"
Zhu Shaoxin howled in fear the moment she was dragged away, and she clung to the red pillar in the hall tightly and refused to let go. The guards pretended to pull her away, but they did not dare to use force, and only secretly looked at Zhao Xiyun, hoping that she would give instructions quickly so that they would not be embarrassed.
Zhao Xiyun didn't expect Zhu Shaoxin to be so disregarding of his status and howling like that. There were many eyes and ears in the palace, and she had specially chosen such a side hall where few people came to avoid being seen, but Zhu Shaoxin's howling made everyone know.
What a disappointing thing!
Zhao Xiyun didn't move, but Ji Zhen did.
She walked forward and looked down at Zhu Shaoxin who was holding on to the red pillar. Suddenly she leaned over and whispered in her ear:
"You sent the note, didn't you? Do you want to drive a wedge between the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion and the Prince of Qingyan's Mansion? Have you asked the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's opinion? Ask her if she will let you do whatever you want?"
Zhu Shaoxin, who was lying on the ground, suddenly froze in place.
She stared at Ji Zhen, and countless possibilities suddenly surged in her mind.
It was indeed she who sent someone to deliver the note. She had long known that Yu Bojun loved Ji Zhen. The purpose of sending this note was to alienate Yu Bojun and Ji Zhen, and thus alienate the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and the Mansion of the Prince of Qingyan.
According to what Zhao Xiyun revealed to her, Yu Bojun and Ji Zhen had been engaged since childhood. Over the years, Yu Bojun followed Ji Zhen like a shadow, commanding troops and gradually gaining power. Although the Loyal and Brave Marquis had no troops, he already had many students in the court and was extremely powerful.
If these two forces were to combine, it would definitely pose a threat to the princess. So she couldn't let these two people succeed no matter what!
The whole capital was already full of rumors due to her plot. When the people in the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion received this note, it was impossible for them not to believe it.
In order to avoid suspicion, she did not interfere in this matter from beginning to end, and assigned a new official in the Eastern Palace to do it.
Zhu Shaoxin thought he had done it perfectly, but Ji Zhen exposed it with just one sentence:
"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it. Your master wants me to die, but I want to live happier than her. Do you think I'm angry?"
Ji Zhen's eyes were full of mockery, which made Zhu Shaoxin feel cold all over. He knew that there was no way even the gods could save him this time.
She put down her hands that were holding the pillar, slowly stood up from the ground, and whispered softly:
"Ji Zhen, I have no grudge against you. Everything I do is for my master. Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame the general for dying early. You are so powerful but no one protects you!"
After she finished speaking, a flash of cold light appeared in her hand. Just as Ji Zhen reacted and drew out the soft sword at her waist, a dagger with a purple glow had already stabbed into her chest.
"you!"
Ji Zhen staggered a step, held his breath, put his strength into the sword, raised his hand and swung it directly to cut off Zhu Shaoshen's right arm.
Zhu Shaoxin, whose right arm was cut off, screamed and fainted.
Ji Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood, leaned against the pillar and gasped heavily, and immediately realized that something was wrong.
The dagger is poisoned.
Because she had just used her internal energy, she could clearly feel the poison spreading. Ji Zhen immediately raised her hands to seal the two vital points on her chest, staring at Zhao Xiyun, and said angrily:
"Lord Zhao, is this how you help me? If His Majesty knew, what would you say?"
The incident in the palace shocked Zhao Xiyun. How could she know that Zhu Shaoxin, whose robe had been taken off, would have a poisoned dagger hidden on his body?
In the palace, in full view of the public, openly assassinating the prince was a capital crime. Moreover, her dagger was poisoned, and her murderous intention was obvious, so there was no way to excuse it.
Now all of Zhao Xiyun's wishful thinking went down the drain, leaving only an anxious heart beating violently.
Could it be that Zhu Shaoshen wanted to harm her?
Could it be that the princess instructed her to do this? Why did she do this?
Zhao Xiyun's thoughts were surging, but he had no clue. Seeing that Ji Zhen's chest was bleeding, her dress was soon stained with blood. Zhao Xiyun knew something was wrong, and immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, please don't let your imagination run wild. The most important thing right now is to heal your wounds. Someone, call the imperial physician!"
Zhao Xiyun frowned and took out a handkerchief to stop the bleeding for Ji Zhen. Ji Zhen must not die in the palace, otherwise both Princess Li Yuanzhen and she would be impeached.
Ji Zhen held the sword in front of his chest and blocked Zhao Xiyun's outstretched hand.
She held her breath and leaned against the pillar. She didn't believe anyone at this moment. Looking at Zhao Xiyun's flustered and complicated expression, Ji Zhen thought secretly:
Zhao Xiyun probably didn't know that Zhu Shaoxin had hidden a dagger. After all, if Zhu Shaoxin and she were to fight to the death, it would not benefit Zhao Xiyun at all. But she was now the princess's person, and there was no trust between her and Ji Zhen at this moment. Now, the empress was in a mess, and she would definitely not be able to support her. She could only hurry up and leave the palace, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
Thinking of this, Ji Zhen's eyes softened as she looked at Zhao Xiyun. She panted weakly and said to Zhao Xiyun:
"Sir Zhao, this dagger is poisoned. I'm afraid the new doctor can't cure it. Your Majesty is in poor health, so I won't disturb him without permission. My subordinate is waiting outside the palace. Please let him in and take me back to the palace to heal my wounds, so as not to disturb the emperor."
Ji Zhen's words hit the mark of Zhao Xiyun's heart. She was in a mess right now. If Ji Zhen stayed in the palace, it would only make things worse. So she immediately sent someone outside the palace to bring Ye Feng in.
When Ye Feng entered the hall, Zhu Shaoxin had already been dragged away. There was only Zhao Xiyun and Ji Zhen, whose dress was almost soaked in blood, in the hall. His eyes darkened, and his heavy gaze swept over Zhao Xiyun's face inch by inch, as if he wanted to remember this person.
Zhao Xiyun's hair stood on end when he looked at him, and he immediately scolded:
"You unruly thing! What are you looking at? Why don't you take your master back home?"
Ji Zhen was holding on and waiting for Ye Feng to come, almost exhausting all her strength. At this moment, she leaned weakly in Ye Feng's arms, gently pulled his collar, and said weakly:
"Yefeng, let's go."
"Yes, Your Highness."
With Ye Feng's response, Ji Zhen fainted with relief.
For the next seven days, the Qingyan County Prince's Mansion closed its doors to visitors, but the lights remained on. Ye Hui stayed by Ji Zhen's bedside, and finally pulled her back from the hell.
On the tenth day, Ji Zhen's consciousness was completely clear. She recovered very quickly and was able to eat something.
In the afternoon, Ji Zhen had just woken up from a nap and was still changing the dressing. Then a servant came to report:
"Your Highness, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is here."
"what?"
Ji Zhen, who was changing the dressing behind the screen, was stunned, blinked, and asked:
"Didn't I close the door to visitors? Why is the loyal and brave Marquis......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud laugh, and a voice came from far away, saying:
"Xiao Zhenzhen, you are wrong. How can I be a guest? I am the biological mother of your future husband."
Next to the screen, a not-so-young face appeared, and it actually looked like Yu Bojun. The loyal and brave Marquis Yu Min, dressed in a smoky-colored casual outfit with flowing cloud brocade, strode into the inner room in a suave and elegant manner. He put a cloak on Ji Zhen very considerately, glanced at the jade-cutting paste in Ye Hui's hand with dissatisfaction, and shook his head at her:
"Your Highness was stabbed in the chest, why did you use the jade paste to repair her wound? Come to my house later and get the immortal dew."
At once?
Ye Hui looked down at the jade cream in her hand in disbelief. This was a priceless healing product! She only had this small jar, and yet someone still despised her!
What is that fairy dew? Is it the legendary holy medicine made by the Medicine Saint himself? Isn't it said to have been lost long ago? How could this loyal and brave Marquis have it?
Ye Hui and Ji Zhen looked at each other, both at a loss. Fortunately, Ji Zhen had recovered from her injuries for a few days, and her mind started to work again. She grabbed her cloak tightly and asked Yu Min cautiously:
"What is the purpose of your visit, Lord Marquis?"
"Propose marriage, and by the way, see if you are dead."
Yu Min answered very readily.
