Chapter 287 Surveillance
When Lu Xuan and Jiang Xing's carriage arrived at the palace gate, they were surprised to see that Ji Mansion's carriage was still parked there.
Jiang Xing quickly glanced at Fei Xing, raised his chin to look in the direction of Ji Mansion's carriage, and said nonchalantly: "What's going on? Isn't it that Ji Mansion can no longer enter the palace?"
As soon as Feixing saw that his master spoke first, he could no longer shut up the gossipy person.
With a few winks and a deliberately lowered voice, he said, "I found out about it for you a long time ago. It's hot!"
"I heard that Ji Xiangli was injured and became a living dead. Then what's the unknown about the carriage parked here? It should be the Young Master Ji that you two are very familiar with!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xing was unexpectedly happy.
He frowned, "Injured? How did you get injured?"
Fei Xing suddenly let out an "Ah!" and then hurriedly said, "Oh, there's another strange thing I've been telling you about. Ji Xiangli was reportedly injured on Yangliu Street, allegedly due to being trampled by a horse. The Ji family's groom died on the spot trying to save Ji Xiangli. Ji Xiangli was unconscious at the time, his legs and ribs having been trampled by the horse!"
"What's unusual about this?" Jiang Xing frowned.
"The strange thing is, the two men who trampled Ji Xiangli on horseback, some say they are from our Prince Jin's Mansion."
Jiang Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Then Fei Xing continued, "But I've already checked the mansion today. From the servants to the guards, none of the people in the mansion rode out yesterday. But people on the street say those two were wearing the servants' clothes. I still can't figure out where I missed it..."
Jiang Xing's dark eyes darkened, revealing a hint of coldness. "No need to investigate. I haven't ordered anyone to go out on any errands in the past two days, and the princess has been staying in the mansion the whole time."
"I'm afraid it's being used by someone with ulterior motives. They want to frame our family and kill with a borrowed knife!"
Lu Xuan looked at him suddenly, "You mean, Jiang..."
Jiang Xing nodded and didn't say anything else.
He frowned, stretched out his long arm, put his arm around her shoulders as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the palace gate.
After entering the palace, Jiang Xingcai said with some caution: "I'm afraid there's a hidden danger with Ji Bozhou. We need to find out about it quickly."
Feixing was about to agree.
Beside him, Lu Xuan, who was listening to his words, patted his hand and said, "Don't worry too much. I just sensed that the ghosts around Ji Bozhou haven't been completely eliminated. Although most of them are gone, it seems that a stubborn spirit is still following him. So his health will not be getting better in the near future."
The surprise in Feixing's eyes did not escape Jiang Xing's eyes.
He looked down at her, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. "Princess, this help is equivalent to two flying stars."
Feixing, who was following behind him, choked.
"Hey, my Lord, you can't say that!"
"If we're comparing abilities, even a hundred of us can't compare. But if we're comparing practicality, how can our princess's precious possessions be used by rough folk like us? Don't you agree..."
Looking at Fei Xing's flattering face behind him, Lu Xuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
No wonder Jiang Xing likes it, this sense of crisis is too strong.
The three of them joked along the way and soon arrived outside the Wenhua Hall.
Because the guards had reported earlier, Wenhua Palace had already sent people to wait outside the palace.
"Your Highness, Your Highness heard that Your Highness and Your Highness were coming, so he has been waiting inside for a long time."
The palace maids enthusiastically welcomed the two into the hall, but Lu Xuan's eyes were focused on the East Palace all the way, and his expression became more and more solemn.
There is really too much of this dense and thick black air!
Last time, because I left suddenly, I didn't take a close look at these evil spirits. At that time, I still had a chance and thought that they must be some servants from the East Palace.
However, when I look at it again now, I find that it is filled with such a strong evil spirit.
The previous Qiankun Five Qi Formation did not include the East Palace. Is there any secret behind this?
Seeing Lu Xuan's face darken, Jiang Xing felt something was wrong.
The servants in the East Palace were all smiling and welcomed them as distinguished guests.
However, judging from their overly enthusiastic and unfamiliar actions, it was clear that this place did not often welcome guests.
"Who does the prince usually get to know? Who are the people coming here?" Jiang Xing asked calmly.
The palace maid who led the way smiled attentively, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes quietness. The people he sees most often are the old officials in the Zhanshi Mansion. He doesn't ask much about other complicated matters."
Hearing this answer, Jiang Xing nodded.
Led by the palace maid, they entered the Wenhua Hall.
However, when he entered the hall, Jiang Xing was stunned.
"Where is the prince?"
There was no sign of the prince in the hall, but instead various palace maids and eunuchs were coming and going.
Another palace maid beside him said respectfully, "In the past, the prince liked to take a nap at this time. But since he couldn't wait for the prince and princess, he just dozed off again."
Following the palace maid's gaze, Jiang Xing indeed saw someone leaning on the tent couch.
He glanced at the busy palace servants and said coldly, "Since the Crown Prince is asleep, the Princess and I will wait for him here. Everyone please leave first."
A dozen palace maids looked at each other and then bowed, "Yes."
After the palace maid left, Jiang Xing looked at the Wenhua Palace, which he had not visited for many years, and had originally planned to take Lu Xuan for a tour.
Unexpectedly, he heard the prince's very low warning in his ears.
Jiang Xing frowned and planned to go over to take a look, but unexpectedly, Lu Xuan followed behind him.
Jiang Xing couldn't help but pause and whispered, "The prince is the same age as you, so the princess should not follow him."
We still need to take the precautions between men and women into consideration.
Lu Xuan was stunned.
I had forgotten about this side. I just felt that the prince's voice seemed to be in a nightmare, so I wanted to go and see what was going on.
She thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then go and take a look."
Outside the prince's bed hung a silk curtain made of precious stones, embroidered with crabapple flowers in silver and pearl threads. When the wind blew, the curtain fluttered, as if falling into a phantom sea of clouds and mountains.
The gauze curtain is thin and delicate. The sunlight shines through the curtain, casting a soft light and shadow, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility.
Jiang Xing opened the tent and a somewhat unfamiliar face appeared in front of him.
The young man before him was extremely thin, bearing a resemblance to the emperor's elder brother. His broad frame was draped with a layer of skin and flesh, and his crimson robes seemed hollow and empty.
"Yan'er?"
Jiang Xing called out softly.
"The emperor's uncle is here to see you."
The young man on the couch frowned, and a very painful expression flashed across his face.
Then he mumbled a few times and went back to sleep.
Lu Xuan listened to Jiang Xing's low voice, tiptoed and looked inside the tent a few times, but just waited quietly without saying a word.
At this moment, she turned her head and looked through the cypress trees in the garden outside the palace gate. She instantly noticed a pair of eyes on the opposite corridor, looking at her furtively.
While Jiang Xing was calling the prince, Lu Xuan directly ordered Fei Xing, "Go and capture the sneaky woman over there!"
Feixing naturally noticed the person opposite him and immediately bowed, "Yes!"
"Yan'er?"
Jiang Xing patiently called the prince several times, but the prince showed no sign of waking up.
I couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He couldn't bear to see such an unruly person become the crown prince, so he grabbed the crown prince's hand and immediately lifted him up.
Unexpectedly, this mention made both him and Lu Xuan terrified.
