In the carriage, Lu Xuan felt a little nervous: "Why did you treat Lord Ji like that just now?"
Such arrogance and domineering behavior is consistent with the outside world's impression of him, but Lu Xuan feels that this is not the Jiang Xing she knows.
She pondered for a moment: "At this critical juncture, if I make a mistake, not only will I be in trouble, but it will also affect Ji Cheng's execution. I'm afraid that all my efforts will be wasted!"
Jiang Xing remained noncommittal: "I am too late to save you! If I hadn't pretended like this, it would have made them even more wary!"
"Save me?" Lu Xuan was a little surprised. "He asked me to talk to him about Ji Cheng, but you showed up before we even got to that topic!"
Jiang Xing shook his head seriously: "Princess, you misjudged!"
"He didn't come to you to talk about Ji Cheng at all. He wanted to find out if you were Lu Lingchuan's daughter! I came to you today to tell you about Brother Lu's letter!"
"Besides the fact that the Crown Princess incident was exactly as we expected, the second most crucial thing is that he discovered someone in Longchuan was investigating your identity! I'm afraid the Marquis' Mansion has already discovered that you saved me. Plus, they've always known that you're the fake eldest daughter of the Earl's Mansion, so your true background is about to be revealed!"
"Huang Zhiwang submitted the evidence documents to the Emperor a few days ago, but there has been no news of the specific verdict in the past two days. Empress Ji and the Third Prince are in the palace, how could they not take action? I guess the Emperor is starting to waver again!"
"I see!" Lu Xuan realized, "Lord Ji doesn't like the Bo Mansion. I haven't seen him in years. He was really surprised to see me today. It was then that I realized I looked just like the late Queen!"
Jiang Xing nodded: "The Ji family may have found out that you saved me when I was poisoned, but they can't find out that you actually took away An Nian's soul!"
"So they will think you are a capable person. If I don't pretend to be a playboy today, it will increase the fear and suspicion of us by the Marquis' Mansion, the people in the dark, and even the Emperor!"
Lu Xuan: "So what should we do now?"
Jiang Xing's expression was slightly tense: "Although he knows your identity now, he should go to collect relevant evidence. We still have time to think about how to deal with it!"
He added, "Since General Lu's letter has been confirmed, I'm afraid we should also start investigating Cousin Siyu's matter once Ji Cheng's matter is over..."
After returning to the palace, Jiang Xing took Lu Xuan into the study, and a figure suddenly appeared.
Jiang Xing was startled at first, then he asked, "Xuan Ge? What are you doing here?"
Xuan Ge immediately saluted and said, "The princess ordered me to lead people to investigate, and we have already found out the information!"
Lu Xuan immediately became interested: "But is there anyone close to Xu Bai?"
"Princess, your guess is correct!" Xuan Ge nodded: "But Xu Bai is already dead!"
"died?!"
Jiang Xing and Lu Xuan both felt a pang of fear in their hearts.
Lu Xuan's brows were serious: "Who killed him?"
"When those people killed Xu Bai, we hid ourselves according to the princess's instructions, so they didn't find us. However, we didn't see the details of their murder!"
Xuan Ge pulled out a rope from his arms. "But before Xu Bai died, he got a rope from one of their killers. Your Highness and Princess can see if you recognize it!"
Jiang Xing took the rope and looked at it for a long time, confused: "Isn't this just an ordinary rope?"
Lu Xuan took it and took a look. A cold look instantly appeared in his eyes. "No! This is the rope on the ID card of the servants in Yongping Marquis Mansion!"
Jiang Xing narrowed his eyes. "Princess, are you saying that the person who set up the Yin array for me on the day of our wedding is still related to the Marquis' Mansion?!"
Lu Xuan nodded: "Based on the current evidence, it is indeed the case!"
But at this moment, the two of them looked at each other with tacit understanding.
Jiang Xing twisted the rope between his fingers and couldn't help but sneer: "Which killer would leave such obvious evidence when sending someone to kill someone?
"It's not that conspicuous!" Lu Xuan frowned. "Didn't the prince fail to recognize what this rope was at first?"
Her eyes were filled with hatred: "No matter if there is someone behind the Marquis' Mansion, I now know that your death is inextricably linked to the Ji family!"
It turns out that in her previous life, she took the blame for the Marquis' Mansion and bore the reputation of killing Jiang Xing with her life!
What a good Ji family, what a good plan!
Jiang Xing folded his arms and thought for a long time, then said quietly, "It seems that the King will have to go to court tomorrow!"
"Go to court?"
Jiang Xing looked into the distance: "You met with Lord Ji at Zui Jiang Yue today, and he has confirmed your identity!"
"But he won't act rashly. He will definitely find out what you've been doing these days and find any flaws. He'll accuse you of deceiving the emperor because the princess is clearly the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, but you're deliberately pretending to be a peasant girl!"
"Given the emperor's suspicion, he would definitely think that we were planning this marriage together from the beginning!"
Lu Xuan seemed to understand, "So, the prince is going to court tomorrow to explain our marriage?"
"No!" Jiang Xing suddenly smiled slyly: "Tomorrow the king will go and ask the princess for some reward!"
"reward?"
Jiang Xing: "Given the current situation, Princess, do you think your identity can still be kept secret?"
Lu Xuan's eyes widened. "Your Highness, are you going to directly expose my background and then ask the Emperor for a reward?"
Jiang Xing nodded. "Since we've been discovered anyway, why not take advantage of Ji Xiangli's inability to react and strike first? This way, not only will the Emperor not be able to say anything, but we can also be guaranteed to be safe!"
Lu Xuan's face flashed with admiration: "In this way, even if there is someone else behind this, he will be a little cautious when he wants to make a move in front of everyone!"
……
At the hour of Mao the next day, Jiang Xing picked a bunch of jasmine and placed it on the window of Jinyuan, then immediately set off for the palace.
There was still some distance between Chengtian Gate and the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Jiang Xing saw Lord Ji walking ahead and called out from a distance, "Lord!"
As soon as Ji Xiangli heard Jiang Xing's voice, his face suddenly turned dark.
But he still had to consider the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects. He turned around and saluted politely, calling out, "Your Majesty!"
Jiang Xing nodded with satisfaction: "Have you finished the wine that I gave you yesterday?"
Ji Xiangli's eyes were filled with gloom: "I've finished drinking it!"
Jiang Xing sniffed him ostentatiously, and finally walked into the hall with a smile.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor, who had come to the morning court, felt displeased when he saw Jiang Xing appear.
It would be strange if there were no problems when someone who hardly ever came to court suddenly showed up!
Isn't this forcing him to punish Ji Cheng and give a result?
Thinking about the pitiful appearance of the Queen and the Third Prince these days, he felt really sorry...
He Yuanguang's shrill voice echoed throughout the hall: "If you have a petition, please submit. If you don't, please leave the court—"
Jiang Xing smiled and glanced at Lord Ji who was standing behind him. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
The emperor and Lord Ji were both heartbroken at this moment!
Could this mean that I'm going to be forced to kill Ji Cheng?
Every minister in the court had his heart beating like a drum. Here he comes, here he comes!
Will I stand with Lord Ji Hou or the prince later?
There is indeed a future in following Master Ji Hou, but the mistakes Master Ji made are not small at all!
Just as everyone was thinking about their own plans, Jiang Xing's voice rang out slowly: "Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report today!"
event? !
Ji Xiangli thought about everything that the Marquis' Mansion had done, and his heart was like a drawn bowstring.
The emperor also looked closely at the courtiers at this time and swallowed nervously.
Jiang Xing's face lit up with joy. "For many days, my wife, Princess Jin, has been busy trying to find out about her life story. Yesterday, she finally found her biological parents, and there's finally news of her past!"
The expected danger did not come, but instead Princess Jin's life experience was revealed, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he said, "She's not some peasant girl, but the daughter of the Divine Martial General Lu Lingchuan and his first wife Yun Xun!"
boom--
Everyone in the hall heard a loud thunder.
The daughter of General Shenwu?!
How could Prince Jin encounter such a coincidence?
The emperor's heart was in turmoil. So, despite all the precautions, Jiang Xing still found a noble lady to be his princess?!
Lord Ji stared at Jiang Xing's back.
Great! You're trying to take away the firewood from under me, right?!
