Chapter 619: Feng Jun is Critically Ill
"Eighth Aunt, what do you mean?"
Looking at the group of guards blocking their way and their eager surrounding posture, Ji Rujin frowned.
King Ji Yue of Qi had a murderous look on her face, as if someone had killed her entire family.
"Humph, a thief broke into my palace last night, and a lot of valuables were lost from the treasury!"
so?
"Could it be that the Eighth Princess suspects that we are thieves?"
Ji Yunxie pursed his thin lips, a hint of surprise showing on his handsome face.
Hearing this, Ji Rujin was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't believe it.
"Eighth Aunt, you are wrongly accusing us."
"Who are we? Do you think we are people who are short of money?"
Who among those present is not a person of status and position? Who would be short of money?
Even if the Eighth Princess wants to frame someone, this is not the way to do it.
"I don't care!"
"Anyway, something was lost in my palace after you came. The thief must be among you!"
"We'll know if there's any theft after we search it."
Ji Yue's face was filled with impatience and his eyes were sharp and cold. He thought that a thief had entered the mansion last night and no one had noticed. It was simply a blatant provocation!
Especially the things lost in the study, she had spent a lot of effort to get them, but now they were stolen!
How could she swallow this humiliation and this account!
Prince Rui said sullenly, "Aunt Eighth Princess said to search? Do you have the Imperial Mother's decree?"
Ji Yue's face was gloomy: "What use does the king have for the imperial edict?"
Ji Rujin waved her fan and snorted, "Without an imperial decree, you have no right to search any royal relative."
"Everything requires evidence."
"Eighth Princess has no evidence, and she calls us thieves right away. Isn't that slander?"
"Humph, evidence? Of course I have evidence!"
The King of Qi was very angry: "Butler, you speak."
"Yes."
The palace steward beside him stood up.
"Last night, the thief broke into the prince's study and was found by the guards. He was shot in the left shoulder by an arrow. As long as we check whether everyone has an arrow wound on their left shoulder, we can determine whether it is the thief."
Ji Rujin sneered: "Aunt Eighth Princess, do you think we look like injured people?"
The King of Qi looked sharp and said, "You'll know if you check it out."
"I'm telling you this. As long as we can't find the thieves, you won't be able to leave!" "Eighth Aunt, you have no right to detain us."
"This is my territory, I have the final say!"
"Someone, search for me!"
King Ji Yue of Qi had an ugly look on his face and ordered his men to take action without any hesitation.
Just at this moment, a man dressed as a postman rushed into the yard in a hurry.
"Report!——"
"Eight hundred miles urgent report!"
"Prince Rui, Lord Feng is critically ill. Please return to the palace immediately!"
"What did you say?!"
Ji Huashang's face changed drastically, and he looked shocked.
Is my father critically ill?
how come……
Others were also surprised when they heard this.
Feng Jun is critically ill?
Yes, ever since the fall of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Feng Jun was banished to the cold palace and her position as queen was abolished.
Life in the cold palace is not easy. Those servants who were banished to the cold palace are either crazy or stupid. It would be strange if they don't collapse after staying with these people.
I heard that since the poisoning, Feng Jun's appearance has been completely ruined and his health is not as good as before, so it is inevitable that he will get sick.
—
Because Feng Jun was critically ill, Ji Huashang was naturally anxious to return to Beijing.
But the King of Qi refused to release the prisoners, and eventually the two sides started fighting.
Although the Prince of Qi's mansion had a large number of people, they were no match for the enemy's highly skilled martial artists. Their strength was much higher than theirs, and the Prince of Qi's guards were defeated one after another.
The King of Qi's face turned black, and he was so angry that he cursed the man as a waste. Finally, under the strong intervention of Di Ran and others, the King of Qi had to let the man go reluctantly.
Because he was in a hurry to return to the palace, he hurried along the way, which made Di Ran very dissatisfied.
Finally, the two sides agreed that Prince Rui and the Fourth Prince would go first, while Di Ran and others and the imperial envoy team would follow behind.
Ji Huashang was naturally confident in King Beichen's character and abilities.
