Chapter 228 Gloating over misfortune
This...why is this related to the assassin?
Ji Xuan snorted coldly: "Does Queen Mother still remember the incident of my son being assassinated and poisoned?"
Ji Yao frowned, not understanding why the princess said this, but still responded in a deep voice.
"Of course I remember."
"But what does this have to do with your assassination?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan pretended to be surprised.
"Queen Mother, have you forgotten how cruel that assassin was?"
"If I hadn't snatched him away, the assassin would have fallen into the hands of the princess. Then it wouldn't be me who was assassinated. So if I hadn't saved the princess, what would I have done?"
After hearing Ji Xuan's words, the envoys who didn't know the truth were confused.
Those who knew some of the truth secretly scolded the princess for confusing right and wrong and distorting the facts.
"Bah! What assassin? What nonsense!"
Ashina snorted coldly, with a look of disbelief, thinking that Ji Xuan was trying to clear herself of her guilt.
When Wei Ming, who was standing by, heard Ji Xuan's words, his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
His eyes fell on Ashina, who had an angry look on his face, and he stood up and spoke slowly.
"Please be patient, Princess. The Crown Princess was indeed assassinated and poisoned a few days ago and almost died. Fortunately, the young master from the Divine Doctor Valley rescued her and saved her life."
"Speaking of which, that assassin was not a good person either. He possessed martial arts skills and carried a deadly poison. I heard that he even put the poison on his mouth. That's why Your Highness was poisoned."
"If the princess had won over the courtesan assassin that day, I'm afraid it would be you, the princess, who would have been stabbed and poisoned now."
Wei Ming didn't want to excuse the princess.
But if this matter is not resolved, Princess Ashina will never give up.
Dealing with the princess is a difficult problem. Your Majesty will lose all face if the crown prince does such a ridiculous thing. It may shake the government.
If no action is taken, the envoy will have a hard time explaining himself.
If the two countries go to war, rivers of blood will flow, and countless people will be destroyed and displaced.
For the sake of peace between the two countries, if she could make a big deal out of a small matter, or a small matter out of nothing to reduce its severity, she would not be unable to form a united front with the princess.
After hearing Wei Ming's words, Ashina's face showed a hint of fear. "That... that's what she deserves. Who told her to snatch someone from Xiao Wang?"
Although he said this, Ashina felt fortunate in his heart.
Put poison on your mouth?
What if you accidentally kiss a beautiful woman's lips when you are intimate, wouldn't that be...
When she thought about how she had been poisoned by an incurable poisoning due to her momentary lust for beauty, she would not be able to inherit the throne after her death, and those ambitious sisters would take advantage of it.
Ashina felt both angry and fortunate.
At the same time, there was a hint of gloating in his look when he looked at Ji Xuan.
Live it!
Tell her to snatch the beauty from her!
Ji Xuan caught a glimpse of Ashina's gloating and complacent look and was so angry that she wanted to slap him, but she didn't dare to do so because of the situation.
"Since I have saved the princess, why don't we write off the offense?"
"This……"
The envoys frowned and hesitated for a moment.
Ashina was a little unhappy: "These are two different things, how can they be mixed together?"
Ji Xuan looked at Ashina disdainfully and asked: "Is your life more important or the injustice of being locked up in jail for a few days?"
"you!"
Ashina choked up and turned to look at Yili: "Prime Minister Yi, what do you think we should do about this?"
On the one hand, the Crown Princess said that although the approach was inappropriate, it did save the princess unexpectedly.
On the one hand, the princess is of noble status, and if she shows weakness when being bullied by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it would make our country look inferior to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
For a moment, Yili found it difficult to make a decision.
However, the Empress Ji Yao, who had been silent on the dragon throne, suddenly spoke.
"The princess has come from afar and is a guest. It is inappropriate for the princess to treat her like this."
Hearing this, Ji Xuan's eyes widened: "Queen Mother..."
