Chapter 152 The Conspiracy of the Western Jin Dynasty
"Then tell me, who was the person with you in the inn?"
Ji Fengyan is now in a dilemma, unable to express her suffering.
Confessing could clear her name, but she thought of her father's words. It was a heinous crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of her clan, and she could not bear it no matter what!
Seeing that Ji Fengyan didn't say anything, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Your Majesty, that man is your humble servant!"
A male voice interrupted the silence.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, and Ji Fengyan's eyes flashed with surprise.
This person is the newly appointed Minister of Works, Nan Lingmo.
"Minister of Works, why are you and Miss Ji alone in the inn?"
The emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, many people know that the Second Miss of the Ji family, Young Master Ji, is my benefactor. The reason why I am in the inn with the Second Miss Ji is because my mother has always been suffering from a chronic illness, and the elixirs she has taken have always been made by Young Master Ji."
"The pills had been taken that day, and Young Master Ji happened to be in seclusion for cultivation, so I went to find Second Miss Ji. I never expected to be misunderstood by someone with ulterior motives!"
Nan Lingmo explained.
In fact, Nan Lingmo was not lying when he said Ji Rufeng and Ji Fengyan were his benefactors.
A middle-aged woman who was rescued by Ji Rufeng and Ji Fengyan a few years ago was Nan Lingmo's mother.
But no one knew that Ji Rufeng and Ji Fengyan were just pretending to save him in front of the world.
It was also at that time that Nan Lingmo met Ji Fengyan. In order to match her status, he worked tirelessly and became the fourth-rank Minister of Works.
"If you have nothing to hide, then why did you run away? If you have nothing to hide, why didn't Ji Fengyan explain it clearly at that time?"
Liang Bingyan asked without giving up. She never expected that someone would come to help her.
"Of course it's to avoid suspicion!"
Nan Lingmo said.
"Ji Rufeng and Ji Fengyan, is this true?" asked the emperor.
"Yes!" Ji Fengyan and Ji Rufeng answered at the same time.
"Father..."
"Okay, since this is just a misunderstanding, let's just leave it at that!" said the emperor impatiently.
Jun Bufan really didn't want to deal with this kind of thing!
Ji Fengyan looked at Nan Lingmo with gratitude, and Nan Lingmo felt that everything was worth it.
Concubine Liang and Liang Bingyan looked at each other and saw that their plan had failed, so they had to give up!
Liang Bingyan still looked at Ji Fengyan unwillingly. Damn it, she escaped again.
But judging from the look on the third cousin's face, he was obviously disgusted with Ji Fengyan.
But Ji Fengyan obviously didn't care. She felt that the relationship between her and the Third Prince for so many years would not be so easily shattered.
Seeing that the banquet was about to end, Ji Fengyan became excited when she thought that the envoys from Western Jin Dynasty and Jia Lan were about to leave!
Ji Jiuying looked at her and chuckled, Ji Fengyan, just laugh, otherwise you won’t be able to laugh ever again!
After the banquet.
Finally, the emperor ordered Jun Linyu and Jun Lintian to escort the envoys of Western Jin and Jialan out of the city.
Before leaving, the Crown Prince of Western Jin Dynasty gave Ji Jiuying a meaningful smile!
Ji Jiuying chuckled and didn't take him seriously at all!
Kunning Palace
"Ninth girl, I helped you do that without permission. I hope you don't blame me?" said the Queen.
"Your Majesty is joking! Anping should thank Your Majesty for helping Anping push away Concubine Liang!" Ji Jiuying replied with a smile.
Although she had her own way, since the queen had taken the initiative to help her, she couldn't refuse her wishes in public.
The Queen and Concubine Liang are in opposition, and so is she!
After coming out of the Queen's palace, Ji Jiuying and Qing Ling went straight to the city gate, in order not to miss any big show.
After leaving the city, Ji Jiuying came to Banyue Town, not far from the city gate. She had inquired and knew that Xi Jin and Jia Lan would definitely have to pass this road before they parted ways.
Based on her understanding of the love between two butterflies, she concluded that the Crown Prince of the Western Jin Dynasty would definitely activate the two butterflies here.
"Miss, do you want to inform Liang Bingyan about this scene?" Qing Ling asked excitedly as she looked at the streets filled with onlookers.
"No need. It will be fine as long as Jun Linyu is here. With so many people watching, the effect will definitely be very good." Ji Jiuying rubbed her hands.
"What if he's not here to use the butterfly? Wouldn't the people in the city be unable to see it?"
"Don't worry, he will use it as soon as he gets here. If the distance is too far, wouldn't Ji Fengyan be in great pain? And on the way here, Ji Fengyan will definitely run into the second and third princes. Just think about it, what would Jun Linyu think when he sees his fiancée chasing after a team of envoys from another country?"
"Miss, isn't the Crown Prince of Western Jin afraid of angering our Cang Yue?"
"The Western Jin Dynasty must have a backup plan, otherwise they wouldn't dare to come to Cangyue to abduct people so blatantly!"
Ever since she learned about the love story of Shuangdie, she knew that Xi Jin's visit was for her.
As they were talking, they saw a team led by the second prince and the third prince slowly approaching!
At this moment, Ji Fengyan, who had just returned home, had not yet had time to drink a sip of water when she suddenly screamed, and waves of intense pain instantly invaded her soul from her mind.
Ji Rufeng and Ji Chenyuan, who had just left, hurried over!
Everything in front of my eyes was dizzy, and I saw Ji Fengyan rolling on the ground with her head in her hands in pain.
Ji Fengyan felt like she was about to faint.
"Yan'er!" Ji Chenyuan and Ji Rufeng felt it at the same time and picked up Ji Fengyan from the ground.
"Yan'er! What's wrong with you? What's going on?" Ji Chenyuan said in panic.
“Dad, kill...kill me! It hurts!”
Ji Rufeng quickly grabbed Ji Fengyan's hand and looked around.
Seeing Ji Rufeng frowning and looking heavy-hearted, Ji Chenyuan asked anxiously.
"Feng'er, what happened to Yan'er?"
"Dad, the pulse is normal!" Ji Rufeng replied doubtfully.
Before Ji Chenyuan could answer, Ji Fengyan in his arms suddenly stood up with all her strength, summoned a level 5 wind-chasing fox, and quickly flew out of the Ji Mansion.
He also knocked Zhou Haiping, who had just entered the gate, flying.
Ji Rufeng quickly flew over to catch Zhou Haiping, "Mom, are you okay?"
"What was that just now?" Zhou Haiping asked in shock.
Because the Wind-Chasing Fox was moving too fast, Zhou Haiping was knocked away before he could even see clearly.
"Mom, that's Yan'er. There's something wrong with Yan'er now. Dad and I are going to chase her first."
Without waiting for Zhou Haiping to answer, Ji Rufeng and Ji Chenyuan summoned their mounts and chased after him.
In Banyue Town, the second and third princes had just said goodbye to the envoy Jia Lan from the Western Jin Dynasty.
Ji Fengyan felt as if her body no longer belonged to her, as if she was being summoned by something, and she ran towards that direction involuntarily.
After leaving the city gate, the pain was relieved a lot, but his mind still couldn't help but instruct the Wind-Chasing Fox to run in one direction.
At this time, Ji Fengyan happened to run into Jun Linyu and Jun Lintian who were returning.
Jun Linyu frowned slightly. For the first time, he felt that Ji Fengyan was so annoying! He was out of the city to escort envoys from other countries, so what was she doing here?
