Chapter 265 Admit your mistake
Ji Bozhou was also frightened by Ji Xiangli's appearance.
Quickly pinch his philtrum.
Ji Xiangli clung to the last bit of consciousness in his mind, and soon woke up slowly under the comfort of Ji Bozhou.
"Si Luan, Si Luan..."
As Ji Xiangli spoke, he began to cry.
"Why, why did you become like this..."
Ji Bozhou knew that his father must have been frightened by the way he looked after being tortured by ghosts.
He frowned and lowered his head, and for a moment, a pain flashed through his heart.
My father actually reacted like this when he saw me like this.
If Yuanyuan sees it, will she like it? Will she feel sad?
But he was only depressed for a moment.
At this critical moment, he didn't want to appear so useless in front of Ji Xiangli.
He came back to his senses and nervously grabbed Ji Xiangli's hand.
"Father, what happened last night?"
Anxiety unconsciously appeared on his face. "I heard from the servants that there was a ghost last night? What on earth is going on?"
As Ji Bozhou pulled him, Ji Xiangli's eyes were blank for a moment.
Ever since the center of the formation at home was broken, more and more strange things have happened.
This house, which was once a prosperous place for decades, is now haunted.
He originally only believed in the mysterious power of luck to a point, but now he has to believe in it to the fullest.
Could it be that the eye of the formation was shattered that day, which caused the Ji Mansion to be haunted?
Therefore, Ji Xiangli hurriedly told Ji Bozhou his guess.
"Si Luan, tell me, was that horrific situation yesterday really caused by Lord Jiang?"
After Ji Xiangli finished explaining the funeral ceremony that day, why he asked Jiang Yuanfeng to come to his house, and what happened that day, his dim eyes seemed to lose their luster in an instant.
Be afraid, everything is real.
But when Ji Bozhou finished listening to his description of what happened that day, his heart fell into an abyss.
It’s a wish!
It must be her!
He recalled in his mind the day when he met Lu Xuan at his second sister's funeral.
According to my father, Lord Jiang insisted that it was not him who did it, and was chasing someone at the time.
Although neither my father nor the emperor saw that there was actually someone appearing in Ji's mansion.
But his intuition told him that that person was Yuanyuan!
It was she who came to destroy the Ji family's formation!
Ji Bozhou's heart was in turmoil.
If I tell my father about this, it will probably only lead to a more complete loss for the Ji family and Yuanyuan.
But if he didn't tell his father, he would definitely keep looking for the reason, and he would feel even more uneasy...
Those tangled and intertwined emotions trapped his soul, making it unable to move at all.
"Father." Ji Bozhou sat down from the chair, a trace of pain in his eyes.
"Our house is haunted, it's true..."
After much deliberation, he decided to tell the truth.
Fearing that Ji Xiangli would be frightened, he quickly added, "But this matter is not related to that formation in the mansion."
"But...but I went to find Master Jiang and asked him to cast a spell for me..."
"Cast a spell?!" When Ji Xiangli heard this, it was like a firecracker exploded in his heart.
"What are you doing?!" His voice was filled with anxiety.
Ji Bozhou clenched his fists in confusion, finding it difficult to speak.
"At that time, I asked Lord Jiang to cast the spell so that he could help me get closer to Princess Jin. I wanted her to be devoted to me and to follow me willingly, and to be loyal to me for the rest of her life..."
"I didn't have any expectations at the time. I just didn't expect that Lord Jiang would be so capable and agree so readily."
"However, he didn't like me prying into his privacy, so he killed the two singing girls I brought to him..."
He paused, "However, it didn't affect him from helping me do all this. Later, he gave me a sachet and placed the talisman inside it."
Although they were being frank with each other at this moment in order to preserve the last bit of safety for the Ji family, Ji Bozhou still felt like a child who had done something wrong, filled with shame.
This was disobeying his father, he knew.
But, he couldn't control his heart...
When Ji Xiangli heard that there were such things in the middle, he was so angry that his throat felt sweet.
His eyes were fixed on Ji Bozhou, but he swallowed the blood in his throat.
"You, you...you actually went to see Master Jiang alone?!"
He was so angry that his eyelids twitched, his dry lips trembled, and his fingers pointed at Ji Bozhou with shaking hands.
"Do you know why I haven't allowed him to come to our Ji family for so many years? Why I even barely let him have any contact with your eldest brother?!"
Because of his anxiety, he couldn't help but raise his voice, "It's because the power of this person is too mysterious, and it's not something that ordinary people like us can control!"
"There are interests involved between him and the Emperor. But he must be disgusted with our Ji family, especially when we were in our heyday!"
"He's a heartless man. You went to him, and he killed the person you sent, yet he still did it for you. It's totally out of character for him! We don't understand any esoteric arts at all. Do you know what he really did to you during this time?!"
Ji Xiangli was so disappointed with his friend, "You and he have no common interests, and his power is far greater than yours. Why would he help you?! Since he has already helped you, he must want to use you to achieve his own goals!!"
At the end of his words, Ji Xiangli couldn't hold back his anger and suddenly spat out the blood.
Ji Bozhou quickly ordered his servants to come over and clean up for him with a handkerchief while comforting him.
"Yes, father, please don't be angry. I am telling you this because I have discovered that things are not as simple as I imagined."
The servant cleaned up the bloodstains in the room and quickly left.
Ji Xiangli's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of doubt on his face.
"Have you discovered anything? Last night's haunting..."
Ji Bozhou nodded, looking somewhat distraught.
"Father's guess was correct. I used the talisman Lord Jiang gave me, and indeed I got Princess Jin to board my carriage. However, I didn't expect that the talisman in the sachet he gave me didn't contain the talisman I claimed was meant to make Yuanyuan fall in love with me!"
"She screamed in agony in the carriage, looking like she was being tortured to death. I thought she had done it on purpose."
"Later on, she must have noticed the flaw in the talisman. She also has profound skills, so she must have used them to save herself. The talisman she used after saving herself was no longer useful to her, but it worked on me!"
"I just realized that it wasn't a charm that could arouse emotions, but a spell that could kill people and silence them!"
"That spell contains a large number of ghosts. Yesterday, on the street outside the mansion, I was haunted by a fierce ghost and couldn't move. Later, a group of beggars robbed me of all my paper money and belongings. Fortunately, they destroyed the sachet after the robbery, so when I came back, the ghosts had already dispersed..."
After hearing what Ji Bozhou said, Ji Xiangli felt his heart stuck in his throat.
He felt his mind was empty, with only bursts of buzzing sounds, like countless flies flying around in his head and ears, gnawing at his brain and heart.
In an instant, Ji Xiangli thought of many possibilities.
His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were dull with worry.
After a long while, he brushed off Ji Bozhou's hand and said, "I'm going to Xianyifang!"
