Chapter 356: The Joy of Leaving the Marriage
Since the banquet that day, the empress has chosen her marriage partner. Some are happy while others are worried, and the peaceful harem no longer seems so peaceful.
Yongshou Palace
"His Royal Highness Prince Rui has arrived!——"
Ji Huashang was dressed in a purple outfit, walking as gracefully as the wind. She stepped into the hall, raised her hand and bowed to Murong Hua.
"My son, I send my regards to my father and empress."
Feng Jun sat on the couch and when he saw his daughter, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Get up."
"Yes, father."
Ji Huashang stood up, his eyes fell on Ji Ruxue on the side, his brows softened, he nodded and called out.
"Royal brother."
Ji Ruxue bowed and called softly, "Imperial Sister."
Feng Jun waved his hand: "Everyone, please sit down."
Hearing this, the brother and sister sat on both sides.
Feng Jun thought of the assassin incident some time ago and looked at Ji Huashang with concern.
"Shang'er, I heard that you were injured. Are you feeling better now?"
Ji Huashang smiled and said, "Father, don't worry. It's just a flesh wound. It's nothing serious."
Ji Ruxue frowned and couldn't help asking, "Sister, can you find out who those assassins are?"
Ji Huashang lowered her eyes slightly and said slowly: "We only found out that the assassins were a group of horse bandits from the desert of the Western Regions. We haven't found anything else yet."
Feng Jun was slightly stunned and frowned: "How did it get involved with the horse bandits?"
"What's more, the Western Regions are thousands of miles away, separated by the two countries of Western Shu and Jin. How did you get to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?"
Feng Jun's eyes flickered: "Could it be that it's in the palace..."
The suggestive words clearly showed that he was suspicious of other princesses in the palace.
After all, the princess is now incompetent and might be deposed one day.
His daughter is deeply valued and loved by His Majesty, so it is inevitable that she will get in the way of other people. It is normal for them to want to get rid of her.
Ji Huashang had thought about Feng Jun's words, but without evidence, she couldn't make a conclusion.
"Don't worry, father. I will find out the truth."
"Just know what's going on in your mind." His daughter has always been calm and steady, so he doesn't need to worry about her.
Since she knew what was going on, he shouldn't get involved too much to avoid being criticized.
After talking about assassins, Ji Huashang's eyes fell on Ji Ruxue.
"It is a blessing that my brother doesn't have to marry into a foreign alliance this time. It is also my fault that my sister is incompetent and couldn't help."
Ji Ruxue pursed her lips and said softly, "Royal sister, don't blame yourself. You have helped Xue'er a lot."
Although she felt a little resentful at first, she thought that this was the decision made by the Queen Mother, and that her sister's plea for him would definitely cause the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction.
If his father is implicated, then he would be at fault as a son.
So, he did not blame his sister.
Besides, doesn’t he no longer need to marry a princess now?
Thinking that she had escaped the fate of marrying a foreign prince, Ji Ruxue was extremely happy, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Feng Jun glared at him and said in a deep voice: "Don't be too happy too soon."
"Although this incident was caused by the Sixth Prince himself, Princess Ashina has not left the capital yet, and accidents can happen anywhere."
"If Princess Ashina changes her mind, Xue'er will still be doomed to marry into a foreign alliance."
Ji Ruxue's smiling face paused and her face turned pale.
Ji Huashang saw that his brother was frightened by his father and smiled.
"Father, you are worrying too much. Princess Ashina has promised to marry my sixth brother in public, so it is impossible for her to go back on her word."
"If this gets out, it will be bad for Zang Rong's reputation. A smart person would not do this."
Feng Jun warned: "There are always exceptions, so it is better to be cautious."
Ji Huashang smiled and said, "Father is right."
Feng Jun looked at Ji Ruxue and talked about his marriage: "There is also Xue'er's marriage. Shang'er, you should pay attention to it. If there is any suitable young lady, you can take a look first and then let your father take a look."
Ji Huashang didn't expect that her father would mention finding a wife for her younger brother, and was a little stunned.
"Father, this...Xue'er has just escaped from the marriage, why are you so anxious?"
Ji Ruxue was also confused. She didn't expect her father to mention his marriage.
