vrcanaries Chapter 227 Assassination
Chapter 227 Assassination
"The past is the past. It was profitable in the past, so you were naturally nice to Tang'er. Now that your eldest brother is dead and every member of the Ji family is gone, aren't you just showing off your power as the queen?!"
At some point, Wang appeared at the door of the side hall, full of resentment.
A pair of eyes stared at Queen Ji viciously.
When Empress Ji saw Wang, she was a little surprised.
Her face was pale and her eyes were sunken.
The face that used to be dignified and majestic now looks haggard.
On the head, one can vaguely see white hair that cannot be covered by the hairpin.
"Sister-in-law." Queen Ji exclaimed in surprise.
Wang's face was cold and furious. She lifted her skirt and strode into the side hall. "Don't call me sister-in-law! I don't deserve it!"
She glanced at Ji Xiangli coldly, "Today is such an interesting occasion, and the master didn't even ask me, his mother, to come and see it? Ha, is he afraid that I will know the truth about Tang'er's death?!"
Having said that, he sat down on the chair below without any hesitation.
No one seemed to notice that she did not salute the emperor and empress.
The Queen saw that she was filled with resentment and knew that it was probably caused by her murder of Tang'er.
Then he said kindly, "Sister-in-law, please believe me on this matter! I didn't intend to kill Tang'er. I just didn't know why, and I did something that was not my intention. I have always treated Tang'er as my own child. I have watched her grow up since she was a child. How could I have such a harmful intention?"
As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
"You've seen how I've treated Tang'er over the years. Why would I want to kill the child I've watched grow up?"
"Stop pretending!" Wang snorted coldly and interrupted her directly.
"I'm afraid that since your elder brother is gone and you only have one man, you're feeling uncomfortable, right? When you found out that the Emperor had summoned Tang'er to the palace to be Zhaoyi, you were afraid that someone else would snatch you away, so you got jealous and killed Tang'er!"
Her eyes were red, her breathing was rapid, and she didn't give any face at all. She shouted out all the accusations in her heart at the top of her lungs.
But this sentence made Ji Xiangli and the emperor change their expressions.
Ji Xiangli didn't expect that Wang would actually bring up such things openly.
Moreover, when he came today, he didn't even show courtesy when meeting the emperor and empress. It can be said that he has no rules at all and is extremely offensive!
Wang, she is the granddaughter of the Taifu. In the past, she was the person who understood etiquette and education the most!
This matter had always been a thorn in the hearts of the Ji family and the emperor. She pulled it out bloody and showed it to everyone. Not only did she scold the queen, but she also threw the Ji family and the emperor into the frying pan.
The emperor was already unhappy about this matter. If she brought it up now, wouldn't it make him even more furious?
Ji Xiangli caught a glimpse of the emperor's suddenly gloomy face and shouted outside: "Someone come!"
"Bring the lady back to the yard!"
Wang originally wanted to hear Queen Ji's explanation today.
And they were prepared to perish together with their enemies.
Who would have thought that my father-in-law would send me back as soon as I arrived.
So, she immediately stood up: "Who dares!"
She swept her eyes sinisterly over the people in the room, "Today, I came here to ask for an explanation for Tang'er's death. As a mother, can't I even ask why my child died and how he died?!"
Her chest heaved violently, her eyes filled with resentment. The words that came out of her throat were choked with anger.
In the side hall, the atmosphere was tense.
Wang knew that if her father-in-law knew that she wanted an explanation, he would definitely punish her severely.
They said she didn't know etiquette and didn't consider the overall situation.
But now, what is she afraid of being punished? !
Looking at Ji Jiaru's coquettish and vicious face, the hatred in her heart was already surging.
Thinking of this, she hardened her heart. She had originally planned to find out the truth before doing anything, but now, she could no longer wait!
He suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.
Then she stepped on the ground with her toes and stabbed towards Queen Ji as fast as a gust of wind.
No one else in the room reacted, but in a split second, the emperor immediately sensed the danger.
He pulled the queen in front of him, and with a flick of his toes, he avoided Wang's attack in an instant.
Wang was extremely surprised.
Then, there was a loud clang.
The dagger in her hand fell to the ground, and she fell heavily to the ground with it.
"Wang, what are you doing?!" Ji Xiangli looked at the chaotic scene and stood up immediately.
Everyone then realized what had happened.
The emperor's eyes suddenly turned cold, his chest filled with anger, and he shouted sternly: "Wang! You actually tried to assassinate the Queen Mother! Your Ji family, you don't want to live anymore!"
After this sound, a large number of imperial guards quickly gathered outside the door.
When the third prince saw that Wang, a woman living in a secluded house, was actually trying to assassinate his mother, he immediately wanted to kick the dagger beside her away.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wang moved even faster. Like a madman, she immediately picked up the dagger and tried to stab the queen's leg again.
The Third Prince would never allow his aunt to hurt his mother, so he immediately snatched the dagger and pushed it away with the strength of his wrist.
Wang felt a pain in her right hand, and when she looked again, she saw that the dagger had pierced her arm.
Feeling the pain in her arm, Wang looked at the third prince in disbelief.
In the past, she always regarded the third prince as her future son-in-law and half-son.
He has been spoiled since he was a child, and whenever he comes to the Ji family, he is given whatever he wants.
But she never expected that the person she loved so much would actually want to kill her for Ji Jiaru!
Wang's pupils quickly turned blood red, like a blazing fire, and she stared at the third prince.
Feeling Wang's hateful gaze, the Third Prince met her gaze without any hesitation.
However, from beginning to end, he just looked at her coldly, without any emotion in his eyes.
Ji Xiangli was so frightened by this scene that his heart almost jumped out.
Is Wang Shi trying to destroy the Ji family together with him today?!
So, he rushed forward and pulled Wang back.
But he didn't notice that the movement at this time happened to affect Wang's injured arm.
When Wang was pulled by Ji Xiangli, she grimaced in pain and looked a bit crazy.
Ji Xiangli actually didn't want to be so cruel to Wang, but if the words she said caused the Ji family to lose everything they had now, then it would be the end of them.
After all, the Ji family still retains the last bloodline, Si Luan is still here!
Therefore, his anger grew even stronger, and he hurriedly called out again, "Ji An! Come and take the Madam out!"
Ji An had heard the two conflicting orders from the master, one saying "bring it" and the other "who dares?", and for a moment he didn't know which one to follow, and froze in his tracks. After all, Wang was the one who usually managed them.
Later, he was even more shocked when he saw that Wang wanted to kill the queen.
At this moment, Ji Xiangli's loud shout finally woke him up from his shock.
He hurriedly called out to the two servants, "Quick, bring the Madam back to the courtyard!"
The emperor's face turned pale. Seeing that Ji Xiangli at least knew to send someone to take Wang away, and considering Wang's pain of losing her daughter, the Ji family was indeed in a very miserable situation now. Only then could he suppress his anger.
But Wang didn't think so.
She was being dragged by two servants. She couldn't bear it any longer and suddenly screamed, "Let me go! I don't want to leave! I want this whore to give me an explanation!"
"Such a lowly woman, and she's the mother of a country, bah! How can she be a queen when she's so immoral..."
Her daughter was already dead, and her only child died at the hands of the vicious woman Ji Jiaru.
She doesn't care. No matter who stops her today, she will curse them to her heart's content!
After hearing what came out of Wang's mouth and seeing her crazy look, Ji Xiangli and the servants of Ji Mansion were so frightened that they forgot to breathe.
How is this an insult?
This is the rope of the King of Hell!
For a moment, several servants present were so frightened that their calves began to tremble.
Several people hurriedly took her out.
Wang Shi was unable to break free from the two stronger servants, and the hoarse shouts in her mouth slowly turned into sobs, but the crazy hatred and despair on her face made people feel extremely scared.
"Ji Jiaru, you slut! You are such a vicious woman!"
"If Tang'er turns into a ghost, I'll turn into a ghost too. Neither of us will let you go! I'll make sure you die a miserable death for the rest of your life..."
"You whore, you are not worthy of being the queen! You are just a bitch..."
Even though Wang had already walked away from the side hall, she still did not stop cursing.
Listening to the sound gradually fading away, Queen Ji's heart was filled with anger.
