Chapter 261 Revealed
Ji Bozhou was carried by someone, with a bruised face and nose, all the way to the main courtyard of the family.
Before I even stepped through the door, I saw that familiar figure through the moon-shaped door.
“Dad! Dad…”
He weakly hurriedly called out.
But the voice was so weak that it was almost broken.
"Si Luan!" Ji Xiangli saw Ji Bozhou being carried by everyone from afar, and his heart couldn't help but feel a chill.
It's so serious!
What on earth happened?!
There was a hint of anger in his hurried footsteps.
"How are these servants serving us? Siluan is injured like this, but these things are doing fine..."
Ji Xiangli strode towards him, but his heart seemed to be hanging ten thousand meters in the air.
Ji Bozhou was haunted by a ghost and suffered two rounds of punches and kicks. His throat was so hoarse that he could only make low sounds.
When he was two or three steps away, he wanted to raise his hand, but he found that his hand was broken and he couldn't lift it at all.
Helplessly, he could only look at Ji Xiangli, mumbling his lips.
"Just talk properly! How did you become like this?!"
Looking at him like this, Ji Xiangli clenched his fists and let out a harsh roar unconsciously from his throat.
But my heart aches as if its flesh and blood were being cut out.
Then, tears began to fall.
Ji Bozhou's voice was too low, so Ji Xiangli had no choice but to lower his head and listen carefully to what he said.
"Father, father, the late queen, the late queen...was it you who...killed her?"
Ji Bozhou tried several times before he finally finished speaking a complete sentence.
However, when Ji Xiangli heard this, his face suddenly changed and half of his scalp went numb.
"You, who told you that?!"
Ji Xiangli didn't realize that his throat was shaking.
Then, he looked at Ji Bozhou suspiciously, and quickly raised his head to look at the servants around him.
"Carry the young master into the house. I have something to say to him. Everyone, please wait outside. No one is allowed to come in without permission!"
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and quickly led people to carry Ji Bozhou into the house.
As soon as the door closed, Ji Bozhou's eyes were fixed on Ji Xiangli.
"Father, you know the truth about that incident, don't you?"
Ji Xiangli didn't know how his son knew this old story and even came to ask him about it.
But he felt that it was not a good sign that something that happened so long ago was brought up at this critical juncture.
He was indeed clear about what happened back then.
However, the Ji family has lost its protection.
Holding such a secret is indeed like a sharp knife hanging over your head...
He glanced at Ji Bozhou with a worried look, and sighed unconsciously, with a hint of earnest advice in his words.
"No matter who brings this up to you, don't ask any more questions. The more you know, the less benefit it will bring to you or our Ji family..."
Ji Bozhou stared at Ji Xiangli, his eyes flickering, "So, father, you know the truth, right? Empress Jingyi didn't commit suicide, she was murdered by someone, right?!"
His hoarse throat broke, and his voice sounded like the sobbing and shrill north wind.
Ji Xiangli swung his sleeves fiercely and said dissatisfiedly: "Tell me quickly, who made you look like this today?"
His dull eyes moved, a look of horror and shock on his face. "To be so concerned about what happened back then, you, tell me, is this the Duke's Mansion?!"
Ji Bozhou closed his eyes and shook his head weakly, "If, if father doesn't tell the truth about this matter. Then you don't have to worry about my son's body, whether he is dead or alive..."
Ji Xiangli took a step back after hearing this.
He stared at his son, who was in such a miserable state that he couldn't even lift his hands. His hands and feet were cold, and he was suddenly filled with fear.
To be able to describe his situation like this, Si Luan's injuries must be extremely serious...
He looked carefully at his son's face in front of him again, and clenched his hands, but because of the trembling, he could not make a fist again.
This is the last trace of blood in the Ji family. No, he will not allow Si Luan to die before him!
Suppressing the emotions raging in his heart like a tide, Ji Xiangli seemed to have made up his mind. He made up his mind and suddenly looked up at Ji Bozhou again.
"I'll tell you the truth! But, after you know it, don't do anything reckless! You also have to get well quickly!"
Hearing his father's words, Ji Bozhou's eyes lit up, and a bit of joy finally overflowed from his hoarse throat.
"I, I promise, I promise Dad..."
Ji Xiangli couldn't bear to see his son in such a tattered state, so he stamped his feet and sighed heavily before telling him the truth.
"The late queen certainly didn't die by suicide."
Ji Xiangli seemed unwilling to recall those days. He had just said one sentence when his chest was already heaving rapidly and his face showed a hint of anger.
He was unable to withstand any more blows, and groped for a chair to lean on, but unexpectedly, he turned sideways and fell heavily down.
"This was originally a scandal in the mansion, but unexpectedly, due to some unforeseen circumstances, it became a source of glory for the Ji family..."
He leaned back on his chair and gave a wry smile. "At that time, your eldest sister and eldest brother had a child and didn't know what to do. Coincidentally, the late emperor granted the Crown Prince a marriage, allowing him to take a concubine. The concubine chosen was your eldest sister!"
"This news is extremely good news for the entire palace. But the Crown Prince disagrees."
"After a period of stalemate, your eldest sister thought that perhaps the Crown Prince had never seen her before, so he was unwilling to take her as his concubine."
"Later, I specifically sought an opportunity to create an acquaintance with the Crown Prince. After they met, the Crown Prince was so captivated by your eldest sister's appearance and temperament that he changed his mind and agreed to marry her as a concubine."
His voice was filled with a hint of desolation and helplessness. "Later, this matter was discovered by the former Crown Princess Lu Siyu. She was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince for breaking his promise to only have her, so she decided to stop the marriage..."
"She and the Crown Prince were in love at the time, but your eldest sister's unborn child couldn't wait, and the Crown Prince knew the seriousness of the matter. So, when faced with the Crown Princess who came out to obstruct the marriage, he accidentally killed her..."
When mentioning this matter, Ji Xiangli seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with the Ji family.
After all, it was the Crown Prince, the current Emperor, who killed the former Crown Princess.
The Ji family just told a small lie at the beginning.
He just felt pathetic.
Sadly, the Ji family, which was once so prosperous and loved by the emperor, was one in a million, but it has declined and decayed to its current state in just over a decade.
Where is the glory of the past?
After hearing Ji Xiangli's words, Ji Bozhou felt a heavy blow in his heart.
A pair of eyes that seemed to be about to explode.
"Father, you, you are saying that it was the emperor who killed the late queen?!"
Because he was so shocked, he actually spoke with great anger. His voice was much louder than before.
Seeing Ji Bozhou making such a fuss, Ji Xiangli felt a little ironic.
"You, after all, are protected too well by the Ji family..."
His eyes were so vicissitudes that they seemed to penetrate the passing years.
"Do you think that what you hear is necessarily true? Do you think that what you see is necessarily true?"
"Who doesn't have some desires deep down? Who doesn't have some deep secrets? Even the Emperor..."
"He did love Lu Siyu back then, but what man can refuse a new beauty who puts him first in everything?"
The corners of his mouth curled up in a cold arc. "It's just that at that time, the emperor made the same mistake as ordinary people. He was worried that his first wife would jump out to obstruct him on the wedding day, which would cause him to lose face. That's why he accidentally killed the late queen..."
