OBS Chapter 113 Conspiracy
Chapter 113 Conspiracy
The next day.
Inside the Dali Temple prison, Ji Cheng listened to the report from Jiezi, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.
Ever since Queen Ji told him that Lu Xuan knew the Ji family's secret, he felt that this person was really dangerous!
And after Mustard's investigation, it was even more horrifying!
There are so many unreasonable things about this person!
Starting from two months ago, her actions and attitude towards Si Luan were completely different from before!
This is undoubtedly placing a bomb next to the Ji family!
I have seen her chasing after Si Luan since she was a child, and she often goes to the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone knows her feelings, so I have never been too defensive towards her.
After all, she will marry Si Luan sooner or later. When a young girl is in love, she only thinks about those few things.
However, she doesn't seem to be the same young girl in love anymore!
Great!
He couldn't help but think deeply about what had happened to Lu Xuan?
Or know something?
Why has it become so different from before?
Ji Cheng put his hands behind his back and said in a terrifyingly cold voice, "Are our secret agents in the palace still there?"
Jiezi frowned: "No longer here. After Xu Xinglin died, they were all cleared out by Prince Jin!"
"Then use silver! Now that Jiang Xing can't move, bribe the two maids and kill Lu Xuan!"
Jiezi raised his head suddenly: "But her current identity is the daughter of General Shenwu!"
"Then we must be even more nimble!" Ji Cheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "The Anguo Mansion and the Xie family are tied to the same boat, and she won't marry Si Luan now. If we don't deal with it in time, there will be endless trouble in the future!"
Seeing Ji Cheng's fierce expression, Jiezi didn't dare to persuade him anymore and quickly agreed.
……
Lu Xuan was busy for most of last night, so he slept in Wuyuan until almost noon.
When she got up, she saw Xu Shu waiting for her in the yard.
"Sister Xu, have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
Lu Xuan was surprised and said, "You can go and do your own thing. Don't waste your time waiting for me."
Xu Shu hurriedly stood up from the stone bench, his face radiant, "Princess, I couldn't sleep all night!"
She thought for a moment and said, "I've made a plan. I've decided not to live outside the capital anymore! I'll move to the city so I can keep in touch with the princess!"
Lu Xuan laughed dumbly: "Then it's up to you. Whatever Sister Xu wants to do, it's your freedom!"
After having lunch with Xu Shu in Wu Garden, Lu Xuan took a carriage back to the palace.
In Jin Garden, Jiang Xing was taking a nap on a lounge chair under a willow tree.
Hearing the sound of footsteps in the distance, his eyes opened alertly.
When he realized it was Lu Xuan, he immediately couldn't help but smile: "Why didn't the princess come back all night yesterday?"
Lu Xuan was stunned.
No, this tone is too much like an old married couple, isn't it?
Jiang Xing and I shouldn’t be that familiar yet?
Feixing on the side raised his eyebrows and sighed in his heart.
Our prince is too humble!
From evening to morning, and now at noon, I'm almost like a wife-waiting stone!
The tone was like that of a young wife, even with a hint of complaint.
Seeing the fresh jasmine by the window, Lu Xuan said calmly, "I was busy for half the night last night, and I finally found the anomaly in Wu Garden!"
The two of them went into the house together, and she quickly told Jiang Xing what happened last night.
But just as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan suddenly felt something was wrong.
Since when did I get into the habit of sharing all the news I knew with him as soon as possible?
I know I have a destined person, so I have to change this habit in the future!
Jiang Xing was very satisfied with the current situation of the two.
He immediately asked the maid to serve the freshest cinnamon honey ice yogurt to relieve the heat.
Jiang Xing said proudly, "I have specially found a cook to make ice cream. Princess, do you think it suits your taste?"
After a while, four maids came from the kitchen carrying eight exquisite small cups.
The two slightly larger jade cups were filled with ice cream, and the remaining small cup was filled with small ingredients such as osmanthus, honey, milk, and crispy candy.
The two maids carefully put nectar and other things into the fresh ice cream. At this moment, Lu Xuan vaguely discovered that the nectar on her ice cream emitted an unusual smell.
Because Lu Xuan was too distracted, the maid who was helping to spread the nectar beside him accidentally hit Lu Xuan's head with her elbow. Lu Xuan's neatly tied hair was instantly scattered and a golden hairpin fell to the ground.
"Princess, please forgive me! Please forgive me! It's all my fault. I'll put it back on for you right away!"
The maid was so frightened that she kowtowed to Lu Xuan repeatedly.
Lu Xuan only paid attention to the strange smell in the nectar and replied calmly, "Get up! Xiaokui, just put my hair back on."
The maid handed the golden hairpin on the ground to Xiaokui, and trembled as she bent over in the corner to serve her.
At this moment, Jiang Xing suddenly jumped to Lu Xuan's side and knocked away the golden hairpin that Xiao Kui was about to put into Lu Xuan's head.
He pushed Xiao Kui away violently, turned around and pulled out the shivering maid in the corner.
"Tell me! What is your purpose?!" Jiang Xing said sternly.
Xiao Kui was stunned by Jiang Xing's loud shout.
Lu Xuan also turned his head, still not quite realizing what was happening.
The maid fell to her knees and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I didn't mean to bump into the princess. I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again!"
She bit her lip and kowtowed to Jiang Xing repeatedly, looking terrified.
Lu Xuan looked at Jiang Xing and said, "I am fine. Your Majesty, there is no need to be so angry."
Jiang Xing didn't look at her, his face still as cold as frost. He stared at the pale-faced maid kneeling on the ground in front of him and said, "Hand over the princess's golden hairpin!"
At this moment, the maid who was trembling on the ground suddenly looked up at Jiang Xing, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Jiang Xing smiled a chilling smile, "You swapped the princess's gold hairpins. The one you gave to Xiao Kui is now poisoned. The poison is called Hua Shi. Am I right?"
When Xiao Kui heard this, it was like a thunderbolt hit her head. She was so scared that she immediately screamed "Ah" and kicked the hairpin away from Lu Xuan.
The maid on the ground was so surprised that she froze to the ground. Her mind was blank and she even forgot to argue. She just stared at him with her mouth open.
Lu Xuan suddenly looked at the golden hairpin on the ground.
This gold hairpin inlaid with jade pearls and butterfly wings was given by the Empress Dowager as part of her dowry, and she didn't see anything wrong with it.
But now that he knows Jiang Xing a little better, he won't make any rash and unfounded moves.
She stood up and looked coldly at the maidservant lying on the ground: "What did you do to my hairpin?"
The maidservant on the ground swallowed nervously, her eyes rolling around before she came to her senses and kowtowed, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I have no idea what poison it is. I simply bumped into you by accident. I deserve death. Please punish me! If you want to punish me, I have no complaints!"
Jiang Xing sneered: "Beating? Punishment? That's too easy for you!"
He suddenly shouted, "Qing Yuan!"
In just a moment, a nimble green figure flashed in from outside.
This was the first time Lu Xuan met Qing Yuan. Seeing how quickly she came, he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
This was the secret guard that Jiang Xing had promised to keep by his side to protect him. She had almost forgotten about it.
It turned out to be true!
Jiang Xing's voice was icy: "Search me!"
"Yes!"
Qing Yuan's hand quickly moved around the maid's body. In just a moment, she found a gold hairpin exactly the same as the one on the ground from her inner collar and handed it to Jiang Xing.
Lu Xuan was also dumbfounded at this time. She didn't expect that someone would deliberately imitate the golden hairpins in the palace to be so similar in order to harm her!
The maid, seeing her secret exposed, burst into tears, "Please forgive me, my lord. I deserve death. I was coerced. I did not intend to murder the princess!"
Her head, which had just been broken, was banging hard on the ground again. Jiang Xing was so annoyed that he didn't want to even look at it.
Qing Yuan grabbed her hair and lifted her up: "Tell me, who ordered you to do that?!"
Sang Luo was outside just now. When he saw this situation, he had some guesses in his mind.
After Xiao Kui finished telling her what happened, she immediately stepped forward and kicked him: "Who ordered you to poison the princess?!"
