Chapter 300 Exploitation
"Someone, someone come!"
"The Queen has fainted!"
When the emperor heard this, he immediately stopped.
He glanced at the bedroom and said anxiously to Pei Fan, "You can lead the troops ahead. I will stay here to guard the queen!"
However, after he took a few steps, he turned back and said, "Keep a close eye on Prince Jin and the Princess!"
Then, he hurriedly ran towards the queen's bedroom.
Although recently, he often felt that the queen was holding him back, and her temperament became more and more arrogant since she fell ill.
But it is undeniable that no one can replace her.
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed again, wondering why he had been so provocative to her just now.
Why can't you protect her well at all times like before?
She just wanted me to pay more attention to Xu'er, why was she so impatient?
Isn't it okay to let her be a spoiled and willful young lady like before?
At the beginning, I was willing to take this path for her.
Every time the emperor encountered something concerning Queen Ji, he would rush about in a hurry.
Pei Fan pursed his lips.
I'm used to it.
As soon as he asked the Emperor if he wanted to go with them, he had a premonition that the Empress was going to faint.
Still as expected.
He ordered two hundred Jinwu Guards and immediately headed towards the East Palace.
Jiangzhai.
Shadow was reporting the news his men had brought to Jiang Yuanfeng, who was lying on the couch. "After hearing the noise, our men were almost on the verge of success, but unexpectedly, the man was saved by Prince Jin! Feixing, who was beside the prince, attacked and nearly killed him, but luckily he was nimble and escaped to report to us!"
Jiang Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows, "Who did you say saved that person? Prince Jin?!"
A cold light flashed between Shadow's eyebrows, "Yes!"
He paused for a long time before answering solemnly, "He knows martial arts!"
Jiang Yuanfeng immediately looked up and met the shadow's eyes.
But they all saw shock and fear in each other's eyes.
Jiang Yuanfeng's pupils held a faint light, and he narrowed his eyes, stroking his chest and slowly sitting up: "It seems that this time, I was careless!"
"That old bastard Ji Xiangli wanted to kill him half a year ago, but I really didn't think he was a big deal at the time. I've underestimated this kid all these years!"
Shadow continued, "In addition, the emperor also sent someone from the palace to inform you that Prince Jin and Princess Consort Jin have opened the door in the East Palace."
Jiang Yuanfeng frowned, then suddenly laughed: "Is the emperor afraid?"
He glanced at the shadow and said, "It's nothing. Go tell the eunuch who delivered the message and tell him not to worry. I know what to do."
After he finished speaking, the smile on his face faded and he looked into the distance: "What is coming cannot be avoided by hiding."
……
When Ji Bozhou walked to the palace corridor at the Rijing Gate, he saw three rows of fifty to sixty people of the prince's guards heading towards the East Palace.
He was inexplicably shocked.
Why are the imperial guards of the Eastern Palace here?
This place is right next to the Chengqian Palace of the Third Prince. The Eastern Palace's imperial guards are not in the Eastern Palace, but have come here. Could it be that the Third Prince did something that made the Eastern Palace unable to help but take action?
But he was clear about the relationship between the third prince and the crown prince.
The Crown Prince always suffers. The Third Prince has the Queen's protection, so how could he be harmed?
He immediately followed and shouted, "Stop!"
His order was full of momentum, and he took a few breaths after shouting it out.
When the imperial guards heard his command, they actually stopped.
He hurried towards the leader.
I just hope that it’s not the guess in his mind.
However, when he walked to the front with some nervousness, he indeed saw a most familiar figure.
Although the man was wearing the uniform of the imperial guards, it could not conceal his noble aura.
"Third Prince, you are crazy!"
Ji Bozhou quickly pulled the Third Prince, who was disguised as the Eastern Palace Guard, aside and shouted in a low voice, "As soon as I saw the Guards heading from your Chengqian Palace to the Eastern Palace, I knew it was a scam!"
"You're disguising your Imperial Guards as members of the Eastern Palace. What are you trying to do? Don't forget, this is a rebellion! Do you still want a future for yourself?!"
The third prince brought his men to disguise themselves as people from the Eastern Palace. He had felt a little guilty when he heard the shout of "Stop", but when he saw it was Ji Bozhou, the uneasiness in his heart immediately eased.
"Uncle, since it's you, I won't hide anything!" His face was filled with urgency and anger. "I received news today that the Crown Prince's illness has been cured. It must have been done by the people brought by Prince Jin and the Princess!"
"My mother has sacrificed so much for me, and I have been fighting for him myself. Now that his body is in such a bad state, my father has even considered giving up on him. If he gets better at this critical moment, what will become of my future, and that of the Ji family?"
The third prince was so anxious that he even grabbed Ji Bozhou's arm, and his eyes were full of concern.
"My uncle is so weak now, and the Ji family has suffered countless casualties. I only hope that during my grandfather's lifetime, he can restore the glory of the Ji family..."
Ji Bozhou looked at the eagerness in the third prince's eyes and a sneer crossed his mind.
He didn't expect that his nephew, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, already knew how to take advantage of people's hearts.
However, these methods and acting skills are still a bit too immature.
But the Ji family already relied on the Queen and the Third Prince for their survival. If Jiang Xu ascended the throne, it would naturally be beneficial to him.
By then, it will be easier to deal with Jiang Xing and Jiang Yuanfeng.
I even slept with his woman in the past, so I should pay a price, right?
Therefore, he did not reject the Third Prince's words, but instead shook his hand and said with great concern: "Uncle, of course, knows your good intentions towards the Ji family!"
"Your Highness the Third Prince is always thinking about the Ji family, and your uncle is deeply grateful. If I didn't know this, I wouldn't have called you just now."
"But have you ever considered this: since Prince Jin and Princess Consort are in the Eastern Palace, even if you disguise yourself as a guard and move in stealthily, won't they notice you and fight back? The guards around Jiang Xing are extremely skilled, as you've seen before. If you go there like this, you'll only expose yourself. If they recognize you and kill you as an ordinary guard, what will you do then? What about the Empress?"
When the third prince heard what Ji Bozhou said, he felt that it made some sense.
But in my heart, I was very conflicted.
"A true man should act decisively and resolutely! Based on my understanding of my brother, once he recovers from his illness, he will remember everything that happened in the past and try to find a way to complain to our father. What should I do? I have finally lived in peace for the past two years, and I don't want to cause so much trouble again!
I've already sent people to investigate. The Emperor's uncle is in the Eastern Palace punishing the palace maids, so I can take advantage of this opportunity to secretly send someone in. Anyway, the number of guards on duty at the Eastern Palace has been reduced by more than half, and the people I brought there will fill the vacancies. Many of the guards inside are my people!
"My mother has been planning for years and is on the verge of success. Now that he's recovered, it's a complete loss! That's why I have to get rid of him before he appears before my father!"
Seeing the Third Prince's determination, Ji Bozhou curled his lips and smiled. Then a sinister look flashed across his eyes. "Even if I were to take action, how could it be your turn to get your hands stained with blood?"
