Chapter 222 How dare you ask me!
Hu Yanzhen was so angry that he wanted to break into the Dali Temple Prison, but was stopped by Wei Ming.
Although she was a general, she had no authority to ask the Dali Temple to release the person.
Moreover, the Dali Temple only recognizes evidence and imperial edicts. If you want to release someone, you must have a handwritten order from His Majesty.
That’s why we are seeing this scene today.
After listening to Wei Ming's words, Ji Yao's face became more and more ugly, and finally she became furious.
"This bastard!"
His angry eyes swept across the female officials beside him: "Where is the princess? Call her here!"
Why didn't Ji Yao doubt Wei Ming's words?
First, how could she not know what kind of person the princess is?
It is not impossible for someone to come into conflict with others over a man and even to use power to suppress others.
After all, this wasn't the first time she'd heard it.
Besides, she could trust Wei Ming when it came to major issues, so there was no reason for him to lie.
And wasn’t the assassin who assassinated the princess an oiran?
I heard that the story about the princess spending a huge amount of money on the assassin was widely spread, how could she not know?
But she didn't know that the person competing with the princess for the man was the daughter of King Zangrong!
When Ji Yao thought of this, she was so angry that she wanted to catch the princess and give her a good beating.
This lady is really lawless!
In the Princess's mansion, there were pavilions and terraces by the water, and music and dancing.
The princess was half-lying on the couch, humming a little tune leisurely, surrounded by several handsome men, who were massaging her legs or shoulders.
On the stage not far away, a man in red clothes was dancing enchantingly, with a seductive and alluring look.
This situation and scene is truly luxurious and indulgent.
At this moment, the subordinates' shouts were heard, accompanied by hurried footsteps.
"Your Highness~"
Ji Xuan, who was immersed in the seductive music, beautiful singing and dancing, did not hear the calls of her subordinates at all.
The anxious subordinates could not help but move closer and shouted: "Your Highness!"
Ji Xuan, who was suddenly interrupted, frowned and her eyes flashed with displeasure.
He glared at his hurried subordinates and said, "You better have something important to tell me!"
The subordinate shuddered at Ji Xuan's sinister eyes and lowered his head.
"Your Highness, there is news from the palace. His Majesty has summoned you to the palace immediately. You must not delay." Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan was stunned: "Queen Mother?"
"Do you know what the Queen Mother wants to see me about?"
The subordinate shook his head: "I don't know."
Ji Xuan pursed her lips and glared at the subordinate: "What use do I have for you?"
The subordinate lowered his head even more as he spoke.
"Change my clothes, and don't keep my mother waiting for too long."
"Yes! Your Highness."
Imperial Palace, Fengluan Hall
"Your Majesty, the Princess is waiting outside."
Ji Yao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said with a serious face: "Let her in."
"Yes."
After a while, Ji Xuan appeared in the hall.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, Ji Xuan noticed that the atmosphere inside was a little strange.
I didn't quite understand why, but I didn't really care.
He smiled and bowed to Ji Yao who was sitting on the dragon throne: "Your son greets the Queen Mother. I wonder why the Queen Mother summoned you to come here?"
"Humph! You still have the nerve to ask me!"
Ji Yao's angry voice came from above my head.
Ji Xuan was slightly stunned, looked up and said blankly: "I don't understand what the Queen Mother means?"
"not understand?"
Ji Yao asked with a cold face, "Tell me! Are you competing with someone for a courtesan in Juesefang?"
Hearing this, Ji Yao's face turned unhappy, and she obviously remembered the assassin.
"Mother Queen, why are you saying this? Isn't the assassin already dead?"
Why are you still bothered about this?
Ji Yao glared and said, "That's not what I'm talking about!"
Ji Xuan was slightly stunned: Which one are you talking about?
At this moment, a cold voice came from beside me.
"Your Highness, let me explain your question to you."
