Chapter 400 Cruel people
Niu Saner nodded: "Yes, that was the first time His Highness asked me to go to the Duke's Mansion to deliver a birthday gift. When I came out, I first met the eldest lady. Then, after the eldest lady left, I met Mr. Jiang."
Glancing at Niu San'er and then at Jiang Yuanfeng, Ji Xiangli fiercely swung his sleeves and pointed his trembling index finger at Jiang Yuanfeng angrily, "You scoundrel, you tricked me!"
This is clearly a plan of the person in front of me!
Jia Ru also went to the Duke's Mansion that day. Just like today, she must have mistaken the person in front of her for the prince. Jiang Shaozhao accidentally discovered this and then instigated her, saying that Niu San had the appearance of an emperor!
Niu San is also a fool. He must have had evil intentions towards Jia Ru that day, so he did not reject Jia Ru's temptation at all today!
This was a trap, and the entire Ji family and Niu Saner were tricked into it!
Seeing Ji Xiangli's reaction, Jiang Yuanfeng not only did not make a fuss, but instead laughed with his hands behind his back: "As expected of Master Ji, you figured it out so quickly. But now that the matter is done, Master, please don't waste your thoughts on how to get revenge on me. The most urgent thing is that you quickly think about how to earn a way out for your Ji family."
"Hmph!" Ji Xiangli's face flushed with anger. "I won't fall for a treacherous villain like you. Just go away!"
"Let's go?" Jiang Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows, "Master Ji, please think carefully."
Suddenly, he smiled and whispered in his ear, "Let's go. Everything that happened in the Ji Mansion will be made public..."
"You!" Ji Xiangli rushed up angrily, clenching his fists to his nose, but then he found that he could not move at all.
His red eyes that were filled with rage instantly turned into fear. Jiang Yuanfeng allowed Ji Xiangli to be immobilized before he spoke slowly.
"I am proficient in the mystical arts and know so many secrets. I advise Master Ji to be more obedient. Don't worry, you will not lose out by cooperating with me. In the future, you will be the father-in-law of the emperor, with connections everywhere. Your impure daughter will also become the heir of the country. I will not compete with you for those glory. I just want this Niu Saner, just listen to me..."
It felt as if poisonous snakes were slowly crawling over his body, and every hair on Ji Xiangli's body trembled.
The mysterious power of the person in front of him was truly too terrifying.
But if you try to get the skin of a tiger, you will end up having someone else's leverage over you.
And this person is different from Niu Saner.
Jiang Shaozhao is not under his control at all!
Lu Xuan, who had been watching all this, finally understood why the emperor had always been so wary of Ji Xiangli.
The Ji family has always held great power, and it can be said that they share equal influence with the emperor in the court.
It turns out that the seeds were planted from this time on.
The subtle discord between Jiang Yuanfeng and Ji Xiangli finally found its source.
They seem to have a good relationship on the surface, but they are secretly trying to sabotage each other.
It turns out that the key is right here!
Helpless, after half a cup of tea, Ji Xiangli finally moved his eyes to show weakness.
Jiang Yuanfeng untied the talisman and he was finally able to move.
"You, you actually forced me to do such an unfaithful and unjust thing. If you are discovered in the future, you will be in big trouble!"
Jiang Yuanfeng looked at him in confusion: "Master Ji, you've got it wrong. Am I forcing you?"
He tutted his words, "It's obviously you two who have desires in your hearts. What does it have to do with me? I can leave the Ji Mansion at any time and pretend that nothing happened today. Are you two willing?"
He was just an ordinary citizen and could not find any evidence for what happened today.
If Ji Xiangli used his official position to pressure him, even without using any mysterious magic, he could get the Eastern Palace to eliminate these two people just by relying on his intelligence.
What has he lost?
He was calm and composed, and was about to open the door of the main hall, but as he expected, as soon as his hand touched the door frame, Ji Xiangli grabbed his clothes.
Ji Xiangli looked a little embarrassed. He smacked his lips and said, "Alright, you're right! You didn't force us to do this, we did it willingly. Okay, stop keeping me in suspense!"
He glanced at Ji Jiaru lying on the ground and Niu Saner standing in front of him, "Tell me quickly, what are we going to do about all this?"
Jiang Yuanfeng turned around as if nothing had happened and smiled, "Your daughter is easy to deal with. She's not the type to hide things or do big things, so since she discovered today that Niu San'er is the fake prince, I will use mystical magic to make her forget it completely to avoid any trouble."
After a pause, he looked at Niu San again, walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and finally his eyes fell on a stove charcoal tongs at the base of the wall.
Niu Saner was confused and before he could see what Jiang Yuanfeng was doing, a figure suddenly pounced towards him.
He was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and having been raised in the Eastern Palace and practicing martial arts for many years, he subconsciously counterattacked.
But before his hand touched Jiang Yuanfeng, his body suddenly became unable to move.
Niu Saner blinked his eyes, and with a "bang", he fell heavily to the ground.
The dirty pliers entered his mouth, and there were two "click" sounds. A sharp pain came over his jaw, and blood and saliva instantly flowed down from the corners of his mouth.
Niu Saner felt like he was about to faint from the pain.
This person, what did this person do to him? !
At this moment, Jiang Yuanfeng clapped his hands and threw the pliers on the ground with a clang. "Alright."
Ji Xiangli was so frightened that he dared not breathe and stood there in a daze.
So they pulled out the canine tooth that was the only thing that allowed him to distinguish between the prince and Niu Saner?
Originally he thought it would take a lot of effort!
His attacks were ruthless, accurate and steady. This guy was truly terrifying!
A burst of electricity came over him, and the spell that had been immobilizing Niu San'er was instantly broken. He spat out two mouthfuls of blood and held back the tears in his eyes.
He didn't dare say it hurt.
This guy is so cruel and powerful!
Jiang Yuanfeng glanced at him lightly: "If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship, don't even think about winning the beauty and reaching that position!"
Niu Saner's mouth was swollen. He swallowed hard and said in a slurred voice, "I can bear it. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt!"
Outside the house, the wind was blowing and the clouds were rolling. The sky, which had been clear before, suddenly became gloomy.
The wind was blowing so hard that the open windows were rustling.
Candles were lit in the room, and the three of them sat together again. Immediately afterwards, the sounds of their secret conversations were drowned out by the sound of the wind.
"Axuan, Axuan?!"
I could hear cries that gradually grew louder and louder, each one more terrified than the last.
It was as if a gust of wind suddenly blew through his mind, making his thoughts gradually clear. Lu Xuan suddenly came out of Ji Xiangli's sea of consciousness, and his soul returned to its place in an instant.
The incense stick in front of me burned out, leaving not a wisp of smoke, and the ashes broke into thin pieces.
"How is it? Ah Xuan, did you see it?"
Jiang Xing held Lu Xuan's cold hand and looked at her anxiously and worriedly, as if he wanted to see every halo in her pupils.
However, the person in front of him seemed to be unable to hear what he said at all. After opening his eyes, he stared blankly at the vast void, as if he remembered nothing.
Jiang Xing was frightened. "Axuan, what's wrong with you? Look at me, I'm Yun Ce!"
He held her hand tighter, but the person in front of him just didn't speak. Jiang Xing was so anxious that his eyes were wet and red.
Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't say anything but looked calm, Sang Luo came over and pulled Jiang Xing away.
"Your Highness, the princess may be thinking about something. Please calm down first. Once she has figured it out, she will surely answer you."
When she had encountered the same situation as the princess before, she just had to wait for time and wait for her to figure it out.
Half a cup of tea later, just as Sang Luo had expected, Lu Xuan's head moved slightly.
Jiang Xing's legs flashed and he immediately ran to her side.
"A Xuan?"
"Your Highness!" Lu Xuan raised his eyes and looked at him, "I know the truth of all this!"
Jiang Xing's anxious heart relaxed instantly, and without caring what she wanted to say, he hugged her in his arms.
Suddenly, everyone in the yard gathered around, including General Lu and Xu Shu, who all followed her closely, afraid of missing any information at the moment.
She felt a little embarrassed and quietly signaled Jiang Xing to let her go.
She calmed down the shock she'd felt when she heard the man was a stand-in and tried to keep her voice calm. "From the beginning until now, everything has been wrong! We've been caught in a conspiracy."
Several pairs of eyes were staring at her, all wanting to hear what the conspiracy was.
Then she said in a trembling voice, "The man in the current position is not an emperor at all. He is just a substitute behind the former Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, a person kept by the Eastern Palace who can die for the real Crown Prince at any time!"
"His name is Niu San'er. Sixteen years ago, he met Jiang Yuanfeng and was deceived by the Ji family into having an affair with Ji Jiaru. Under the instigation of Jiang Yuanfeng and Ji Xiangli, this man gradually developed evil intentions towards that position!"
"I didn't hear about their subsequent plot because the time was up, but based on the information we have, it's not difficult to determine that it was Jiang Yuanfeng and Ji Xiangli who instructed him to replace the real prince!"
Boom——
It seemed as if it was about to rain heavily.
Thunder and lightning clash in the dark clouds.
The people in the yard seemed to have taken root, and were so shocked by the news that they felt like their souls had left the world.
This, are you kidding me?
How is this possible? !
The person he had served for so many years was actually a fake emperor? Just a stand-in?
How shrewd must that person be to have managed to stay undetected for over a decade and have made it this far?!
Niu Saner, just by hearing his name, we know that he is a country bumpkin. How did he avoid the eyes of officials and remain safe and sound for so many years?
The wind blew in the courtyard, making the lanterns under the eaves rustle.
The voice brought everyone back to their senses. General Lu then looked at Lu Xuan and asked impatiently, "Replacing the real prince? Then where is the real prince, oh no, the real emperor?!"
Lu Xuan bit her lip and said nothing. She looked at Jiang Xing and General Lu, and a clear guess emerged in her mind.
