Chapter 222 Murder
Suddenly, her eyes locked on Ji Bozhou, and an idea came to her mind.
While Ji Bozhou was looking up at his satisfactory work, Lu Xuan suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist.
Even if she has to take the risk of breaking her legs, she will run away from here today!
As he was thinking, the dagger had already gone straight towards the back of Ji Bozhou's neck.
Feeling a sense of emptiness at the back of his waist, Ji Bozhou suddenly came back to his senses.
But the dagger had already reached his throat.
In a flash, Ji Bozhou's hand suddenly grabbed the dagger.
"Wishful, for the second time."
There was extreme sadness in the voice.
This was the second time she had pointed a dagger at him.
Lu Xuan's eyes darkened, and his expression was cold: "Let me go, otherwise, you know, I won't be soft-hearted!"
Blood slid down Ji Bozhou's palm, and the corners of his eyes instantly turned red: "I know you no longer feel sorry for me."
As he said this, he suddenly loosened his hand at an extremely fast speed, then slapped Lu Xuan's wrist and quickly snatched the dagger away.
In just a blink of an eye, the dagger was aimed at Lu Xuan again.
He glanced down at her swollen ankle, and a coquettish smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Yuanyuan, if this is the only way you can stay by my side, then I don't mind, as long as you can never run away again."
After he finished speaking, he immediately squatted down and grabbed her calf with one hand.
The dagger in his right hand, shining with a cold light, quickly approached Lu Xuan's ankle.
Lu Xuan was horrified.
What is Ji Bozhou going to do? !
Are you going to cut her hamstrings?!
The coolness of the dagger touched Lu Xuan's feet, causing her hair to stand on end.
Her eyes were fixed on Ji Bozhou's cruel hands.
At this moment, suddenly, a stone flew through the leaves.
With a "ding-dang" sound, the dagger in Ji Bozhou's hand was knocked to the ground.
Lu Xuan was delighted, thinking that it must be Fei Xing who came to save him!
Her surprised look did not escape Ji Bozhou's sight.
He stood up suddenly and looked around vigilantly.
However, apart from the wind blowing in the bamboo forest, there was no human figure around.
He frowned and held Lu Xuan's hand even tighter.
Ever since Jiezi died, he knew that there was no one with strong skills in the mansion, so he specially selected a new group of guards.
In preparation for Yuanyuan's arrival, he had already made arrangements in Danbo Zhai. Among the new batch of guards, the three most powerful masters were all left in Danbo Zhai.
Those people today are naturally also guarding here.
I think that since I brought Yuanyuan back, those people should have noticed it.
Right now, I should be secretly helping him deal with someone, or perhaps reminding him of something!
He turned his attention back to Lu Xuan.
At this moment, we can't delay any longer!
Ji Bozhou looked at Lu Xuan's stubborn expression, gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, picked up the dagger on the ground, and the blade moved quickly towards her ankle again.
Before Lu Xuan's surprised heartbeat could begin, and before he could fully see his movements, he heard a quick, low growl in his ear.
"Wait!"
It’s Shen Yuanci’s voice!
Lu Xuan's gaze immediately turned towards the entrance of Danbo Zhai.
Shen Yuanci took big hurried steps, pushed the door open suddenly, and rushed into Danbo Zhai quickly.
Behind him was a majestic figure.
Shen Yuanci, here with Shen Tingan!
Lu Xuan felt like he had seen a savior.
A hint of red suddenly appeared in his eyes.
At this point, she couldn't care less.
She planned to confess her identity to Shen Yuanci immediately.
I must get out of this hellish prison!
However, before she could say anything, Shen Yuanci gave her a look.
Lu Xuan was shocked.
Did he recognize her?
Just when she was confused, Shen Yuanci winked at her again.
It was clearly a response to her, I recognized you.
But they all understood that the most important thing right now was not to reveal their identities.
Otherwise, as a princess, she would appear in the Ji family mansion disguised as a servant. No matter how the other party wanted to deal with her, she would have no way to explain.
When Shen Yuanci saw Lu Xuan like this, his heart felt as if it had been pierced by rows of silver needles.
It's a very unpleasant feeling.
After he left the corridor just now, the doubts in his mind became deeper.
When he was about to go find the prince, he was told that the prince had been called away by the emperor.
He was thinking at that time, since the prince is here today, is Axuan here too?
At that moment, suddenly, his mind exploded.
Only then did I realize the familiar figure of the boy on the corridor.
That person should be A Xuan!
Otherwise, Ji Bozhou's reaction wouldn't be so strange!
He was a little annoyed at himself for being so slow. Ji Bozhou had a dagger in his hand just now.
He wants to kill Axuan!
At that moment, he knew that he could no longer wait for the prince.
But he was just a scholar, so he immediately went to find his father and explained the whole story in a few words.
Then he hurried over with his father.
Along the way, Axuan's figure was nowhere to be seen. No one knew that he was already extremely scared.
But I didn’t expect that it was Ji Bozhou who was hiding.
He actually wanted to commit murder in the mansion!
For Lu Xuan, Shen Yuanci was completely unable to control his emotions.
Then he shouted in displeasure, "Brother Siluan, this man is a servant from Prince Jin's mansion, the prince's attendant today. I'm afraid it's unreasonable for you to deal with him privately like this, isn't it?"
Ever since Shen Ting'an knew that the person taken away by Ji Bozhou was the princess, he had been filled with anger.
He was of burly stature and had a tough demeanor. As he came towards us aggressively, he immediately released a low-key, oppressive aura.
After all, the princess was the benefactor of his Shen family who saved Yuan Ci. His Ji family itself had a bad reputation and even wanted to kill people to silence them.
Therefore, when Shen Yuanci came in and saw that he was about to harm someone, he was filled with righteous indignation.
"Master Ji, this boy is also from Prince Jin's Mansion after all. Let me say something about taking advantage of your seniority. You don't take the palace seriously at all and are committing insubordination!"
After all, Shen Ting'an was a general who had been on the battlefield. His eyes were sharp and his voice was as loud as a command on the battlefield.
With just one sentence, his momentum was as overwhelming as Mount Tai.
Then he immediately made a fierce move, with a flying kick, he kicked the dagger in Ji Bozhou's hand away in an instant.
"Even if this person did something against the rules, today is the Ji family's funeral after all. Is he still trying to cause a death? He wants to harm people secretly at every turn. Is this a Ji family rule? Or is this the family tradition of your Ji family?!"
Shen Ting'an snorted coldly, "So many people have left the Ji Mansion, and you're the only legitimate son left in the Ji family. Yet, Young Master Shen still refuses to turn back and continues to pass on your harmful family traditions without leaving any trace. If your Ji family continues like this, it will sooner or later decline!"
Shen Ting'an didn't care about his face at all and went straight to the point and said it directly.
As he spoke, his anger surged like a mountain and his beard trembled slightly.
Out of the corner of his eye, he immediately saw Lu Xuan's injured ankle.
Shen Ting'an's appearance was obviously beyond Ji Bozhou's expectations.
Generally speaking, it is against the rules to enter the inner residence of a wealthy family without permission, even if you are a first-rank official of the imperial court.
So, he was frightened for a moment, but soon returned to his usual calm demeanor.
"General Shen, disrespectful."
He smiled calmly, "My nephew only wanted to bring this servant who committed a crime in the Ji family and interrogate him about his deeds. How did it become a matter of the Ji family's downfall? Is such a small matter worthy of General Shen coming here in person?"
Shen Ting'an was still furious. "I have no objection to punishing this servant! But he belongs to Prince Jin's residence. Young Master Ji should still consider the prince's face, right? Bring him before the prince. I'm sure he'll give you an explanation!"
Ji Bozhou sneered at Shen Ting'an's words, then shook his head. "To be honest, Master Shen, it wasn't my nephew who injured that servant just now. Instead, he was the one who injured me."
"If you don't believe me, just look." As he said this, he had already spread out his palm and suddenly showed it to them.
At this moment, a strange fragrance emanated from Ji Bozhou's sleeves.
