Chapter 223: A Succession of Wedding Gifts

When Liu Ce came back from the front, Ji Shangye found that his expression was very wrong.

"What's wrong?" She asked in a low voice.

"He said that the incident in the palace today was his first wedding gift to you. There will be a second and third copies soon, so let's wait and see. Liu Ce said in a deep voice.

Ji Shangxie was also inexplicably cold. "What does he want to do?"

"I asked him that, and he smiled at me and said it wouldn't implicate us anyway. Then I wanted to ask more, and he was gone. Liu Ce spread his hands.

Ji Shangxie felt even more flustered. "Did you send someone to follow him?"

"Of course I did." Liu Ce nodded, but immediately paused again, "However, I think it's better for you to prepare for the worst first." ”

Ji Shangxie's heart sank again.

Liu Ce continued: "I always feel that his performance today is very wrong, like ...... How so? I feel like a person who has lost his fighting spirit, he doesn't want to care about anything, he just wants to break the kettle and seize the last chance to have a good time. ”

Ji Shangyi secretly clenched his fists.

Liu Ce sighed lightly and slowly walked over to hug her. "But this is also his own choice, we can't help him."

"But he's my father after all." Ji Shangye said in a low voice.

Although the relationship between father and daughter has been very indifferent over the years, she also remembers that when she was a child, her father also loved her very much. Especially since she is the eldest daughter, and she looks very similar to her mother, her father loves her more than her younger brother. And now, judging from his father's performance, his life has actually been very hard over the years.

After all, she is also a blood relative, and seeing that he is going to do something stupid, but she can't stop it, this sense of powerlessness makes her very uncomfortable.

Liu Ce could only hug her tightly. "Maybe we're overthinking? Now I have told Qingyun and Heiyun to keep an eye on him, if he really wants to do something bad, they will definitely stop him. Maybe it will be able to turn the tide. ”

"Do you believe this yourself?" Ji Shangevil asked him rhetorically.

Liu Ce was stunned. Actually, he didn't believe it either.

He couldn't even convince himself, so how could he convince her? Ji Shangxie shook his head, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Because of Ji Changshi's appearance this time, Ji Shangxie and Liu Ce didn't sleep too well tonight.

When they woke up the next morning, the two of them hurriedly freshened up and dressed up, and went back to the Hou Mansion again.

The old lady had been waiting for them for a long time with her neck high. As soon as Ji Shangye entered the door, she hurriedly grabbed Ji Shangxie's hand and asked her about the incident in the palace yesterday - Liu Ce and the crown prince tore their faces in public for the first time, of course, the matter quickly spread all over Chang'an, and it was natural for the old lady to know the news.

Ji Shangye hurriedly explained the situation carefully. After listening to the old lady Yongjianhou, she patted her chest: "It's okay, it's okay, your father denied it as soon as he appeared, otherwise I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to explain!" But...... Why did he do it? ”

"He said it was to make it up to me." Ji Shangye said in a low voice.

"No, I think he's more here to protect you." Qi Kang spoke suddenly.

Liu Ce looked at him. "Do you know anything else?"

Qi Kang laughed twice. "I really know a piece of news, it was just sent to Chang'an last night, do you want to know?"

"What is it?" Liu Ce asked hurriedly.

"Princess Pingyi...... She's dead. ”

Oh, my God!

Ji Shang gasped for a moment. She and Liu Ce glanced at each other, and both of them saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes - could it be that this is the second wedding gift that Ji Changshi gave her?

It's horrible!

"How did she die?" Himejo asked.

"Well, I heard that she had a miscarriage when she was five months pregnant, which was already a big devastation. And because Chen Yuan, who has been worried about this, has not taken good care of his body. Later, coupled with the blow of the death of the king of Changsha, his physical condition also deteriorated. has been staying up until now, and finally can't stand it, so he died in despair. Qi Kang said slowly.

"That's not right." Ji Shangxie shook his head, "No matter how desperate she is, Chen Yuan is still alive, and Chen Yuan's son is still there." Even if it's to support her daughter, she will never just go. She's not someone to be knocked down so easily. ”

"You're right. The aborted fetus in her womb hadn't been born after all, and the blow to her was limited. And since the child in her womb has not been saved, she will definitely cherish Chen Yuan even more, as well as the grandson that Chen Yuan gave birth to with difficulty. As long as Chen Yuan's position is not stable for a day, she will not die for a day. The old lady also nodded.

So, everyone fell into deep thought.

This thing, no matter how you look at it, is weird.

And not long after, someone suddenly came to the palace.

"The princess, the prince and the king of Changsha are sick, the queen mother, please hurry into the palace to treat them!"

"What disease do they have?" Liu Ce hurriedly asked.

The palace man shook his head. "All the doctors in the hospital have been invited, but no one can find out the problem. Everyone can't help it, so I thought of asking you to help take a look. ”

"What about the witch pupils? The Queen Mother didn't let him see it? Ji Shangyi also asked.

"Please, but Hitomi Witch said he couldn't take care of it."

"Then I can't take care of it." Ji Shang said evilly, "Otherwise, if I go so rashly, will the prince think that I deliberately put a curse on him yesterday?" ”

The palace people hurriedly knelt down. "Princess, don't worry. The Queen Mother said, you never do anything hurtful to nature, princess, and she believes that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with you. ”

"In other words, there are indeed people around the crown prince or the king of Changsha who are so suspicious!" Liu Ce immediately said, "Then she can't go!" If she really went and cured them, the group of people thought that she had cast a curse, otherwise why did she know how to cure them? And if it can't be cured, they will even blame her for wanting to kill them, so they will use this as an excuse to trouble her. Rather than this, she might as well not go, so that at most she will be held accountable for the crime of not saving herself, but I will bear this charge on her! You just told the Queen Mother that she really couldn't save those two people! ”

No matter how much the workers pleaded, Liu Ce refused to let go. In the end, the palace people could only return to the palace empty-handed.

When the palace people left, the atmosphere in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion became extremely weird.

"There is something wrong with this, and one is more bizarre than the other." Qi Kang whispered, "It's like a hand that is invisibly manipulating all this, and now it's becoming more and more blatant." ”

Ji Shangyi also fell into deep thought.

Liu Ce looked at her increasingly ugly face and asked her in a low voice, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm wondering, at the beginning of this year, the tragic death of the king of Changsha is also related to these?" Ji Shangye said in a low voice.

Everyone's hearts sank again.

But when you think about it, she has a point. Ji Changshi, as the chief of the Changsha Palace, can be said to be the most trusted person of the King of Changsha. After the king of Changsha fell ill, everything in the palace was in charge of him, and the princess of Changsha and the prince Liu Biao were very repulsive to the man who was incontinent, and he just showed up in front of him for the New Year and left. However, Ji Changshi has always been loyal to him, and his loyalty has been praised by the scholars of Changsha Kingdom.

Relying on this favorable time, place and people, if he wants to do something to the King of Changsha, it is too easy!

It's just that the technique is still a little too scary. Moreover, it also involved some things in the Jade Ding Sect. Then I think of my mother, who refused to forgive my father, and my father's almost crazy posture that day......

"My Daddy, where is he now?" Ji Shangye asked Liu Ce fiercely.

Liu Ce hurriedly got up. "I'll call someone to find it!"

However, they can no longer find it.

Three days later, when a carriage was passing through the city gate, it was checked by the city gate guards, and the driver suddenly whipped the horse's buttocks several times. The horses immediately spread their hooves and ran wildly, disturbing the chaos at the city gates.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers patrolling the city arrived in time, and everyone and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate rushed up, and it was easy to drag the man off the carriage.

And removing the disguise on his body, they suddenly found that this person is not Shi Jiyuan, the mayor of Changsha Palace, who is now being frantically searched for by the emperor in Chang'an City, but has never been found?
